Gu Yingxue nodded: "Yes, they will. Sister Xinxin and Brother Yuan will definitely be happy. Brother Yuan's only goal in this life is Sister Xinxin. If they can't be happy, then no one can be unhappy!"
Cheng Huaiyu wholeheartedly agreed: "I used to think that someone like Mr. Zhou was a good man. I'm so happy that Xinxin has such a good man. Xinxin is the first good friend I've ever had, and I hope she has a peaceful and smooth life."
"And my Yun-ge'er, I hope he grows up healthy and strong, whether he studies hard or passes the imperial examinations, becomes an ordinary person, and marries a wife who understands him."
As they were talking, Cheng Huaiyu fell asleep.
Gu Yingxue was terrified and quickly checked her breathing, only to find that she was asleep.
She felt as if Cheng Huaiyu was giving her last words, recounting the stories of the family and friends she cared about most in her life.
Fortunately, he had just fallen asleep.
Gu Yingxue covered Cheng Huaiyu with the blanket, tidied herself up, and then went to get the bundle that Cheng Huaiyu had mentioned.
The bundle was quite large, and she carried it on her back without opening it.
The butler arrived shortly after.
Gu Yingxue wanted to say hello to Cheng Huaiyu, but seeing that she was fast asleep, she didn't disturb her. Anyway, she would see her in the afternoon.
It was still dark when the steward led her out through the main gate. There were many guards in the mansion. They asked the steward what he was doing out so early in the morning and what the maid was carrying.
The steward spent some money and told the guards that since they were about to head west, he wanted to take some valuables back to his family first and hoped the guards wouldn't spread the word.
The steward's bag of silver was quite substantial, and the guards gave him face.
Then Gu Yingxue successfully followed the steward out of the mansion.
Unbeknownst to her, Cheng Huaiyu had opened her eyes and sat up to tidy herself up when she left.
She hadn't gone far from the mansion gate when the steward helped her into a carriage, driven by Xie Nanfeng.
When she saw Xie Nanfeng, Gu Yingxue breathed a sigh of relief and put away the dagger she was holding.
"You must bring my sister out later!" Gu Yingxue said to the steward after getting into the carriage.
"Don't worry, Miss Gu." The steward nodded with a smile and gave Xie Nanfeng another token.
"Well...we're leaving." Xie Nanfeng took the token, feeling reluctant, but finally spurred his horse and rode away.
When they reached the city gate, Gu Yingxue realized something was wrong. They were leaving the city, and the guards were so tight. Weren't they waiting for her sister?
But there were many guards at the city gate, so she couldn't ask.
After seeing the token and being allowed to pass, Gu Yingxue lifted the carriage curtain and asked, "General Xie, where is my sister? Aren't we going to wait for her?"
Xie Nanfeng said expressionlessly, "Miss Cheng, please come out this afternoon."
Gu Yingxue felt something was amiss and pulled Xie Nanfeng aside: "General Xie, do you think my sister never intended to come out? This token to leave the city is extremely rare. How did she manage to get out this afternoon?"
Xie Nanfeng remained silent.
Gu Yingxue was stunned: "Is it true? Is it true that my sister originally had the opportunity to go with you, but she gave it to me?"
Xie Nanfeng pursed her lips, but still didn't answer.
Gu Yingxue shouted angrily, "Tell me! Is this true? Is this true? How could you do this? How could you do this? Why did you take me away alone?"
Xie Nanfeng said with a heavy heart, "Miss Gu, this is Miss Cheng's idea. She will protect herself. Don't make trouble. There are still inquiries along the way. We need to meet up with Peng's army as soon as possible."
