Yun Qinglu raised an eyebrow. "It seems we have to hurry to the southwest. After we finish this business, we need to get back to the capital before the palace banquet."
It is now mid-November, and the palace banquet will be held on the first day of the first month of next year.
Time is indeed of the essence.
“We’ll ride horses for the rest of the journey,” Yun Qingluo suggested.
"No way." The three of them said in unison.
Yun Qingluo glanced at the three of them; it was rare for them to be so in agreement.
"The weather is getting colder and colder. A girl should just sit properly in the carriage and not run around aimlessly," Yun Ziheng said disapprovingly.
Yun Ziyu also said with concern, "Yes, Luo Luo, it's cold outside. You're not well, and it would be so uncomfortable if you got sick. Just sit quietly in the carriage."
Mo Beichen didn't speak, but he agreed with both of their statements.
Yun Qingluo shook Mo Beichen's arm, "Achen, I'll ride a horse with you and hide in your cloak, that's fine."
"Big brother, second brother, only our parents are at home. Let's hurry up and finish our business so we can come back and celebrate the New Year with our family sooner," Yun Qingluo said, turning back to her two brothers.
The three people still disagreed, but they couldn't resist Yun Qingluo's talkativeness. Finally, Yun Qingluo threatened to go on a hunger strike, and they finally agreed.
"I don't know who you got your personality from, you're even more stubborn than your father." Yun Ziheng looked at Yun Qingluo with affection.
Yun Qinglu smiled mischievously, "Father must have been very stubborn when he was young."
Yun Mansion, main hall.
General Yun sneezed, and Yunmu came over and draped a cloak over him.
"He's already so old, yet he still acts like he's still going strong and doesn't wear enough clothes."
Yun's father waved his hand dismissively, "Hey, it's nothing. These three brats, they left without even sending a letter back. I wonder if their journey was smooth."
Yunmu poured tea for Yunfu before sitting down. "They've been traveling the whole way. Where would they find paper and pen to write you letters? Once they reach the southwest and settle down, they'll naturally write back. Luoluo is the most thoughtful person."
"I'm afraid he won't be able to make it back for the New Year." Yun's father looked in the southwest direction and sighed.
Yun Yiyi happened to be passing by when her father frowned and called out to her, "Where are you going in this freezing weather?"
Yun Yiyi's face stiffened, and she cursed the old man in her heart, but turned around and said obediently, "Father, the Third Princess is bored in the manor and wants me to go over and talk to her."
Ever since the plum blossom viewing banquet, every time she went out, she was praising Yun Qingluo:
"I never expected that Miss Yun would have such talent. She is too good to be called the most talented woman in the capital."
"She's the Regent's wife now. My brother-in-law, who works for the Third Princess, said that the Princess is incredibly beautiful, like she stepped out of a painting. All the noble ladies are mesmerized by her."
"Yes, compared to Miss Yun, she's like heaven and earth."
"What you're saying is ridiculous. Miss Yun'er is just an adopted daughter, while Miss Yun is the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion. How can you compare them?"
Enraged, Yun Yiyi smashed everything in the house, and it wasn't until her father came over and scolded her that she calmed down.
That damned bitch dared to steal her reputation as the most talented woman and the most beautiful woman in the capital.
She'd better die in the southwest, otherwise she'll definitely be punished when she gets back.
Yun Yiyi's eyes were filled with resentment as she looked down. The Third Princess had come to see her today because of her good sister's matter.
Heh, maybe she won't even need to lift a finger; that bitch will die in the southwest.
Yun's father waved his hand, "Go early and come back early. Be careful on the road, and take a few more people with you."
Yun Yiyi thanked her father obediently, but her expression changed as soon as she turned around.
The General's Mansion, that lowly woman, they'll all get what's coming to her.
***
After speaking, Mo Beichen pulled Yun Qingluo back to their room to rest.
Yun Qingluo clutched her chest, "We need to travel tomorrow, Achen, you mustn't do anything reckless."
Seeing Yun Qingluo's nervous expression, Mo Beichen wanted to tease her.
"Luo Luo, I will control myself, just this once?" Mo Beichen leaned towards Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo quickly shrank into the bed and hugged the quilt tightly.
A man's words are deceitful; she will never believe them again.
This jerk, despite being all obedient to her out of bed, is actually incredibly domineering in bed.
Seeing Yun Qingluo getting further and further away, Mo Beichen's face was filled with sadness. "Luo Luo, do you really not trust me that much?"
Seeing the sadness on Mo Beichen's face, Yun Qingluo felt a little suspicious.
"Mo Beichen, I do believe you," Yun Qingluo explained gently.
Hearing this, Mo Beichen became even more heartbroken. "Luo Luo is hiding so far away, she obviously doesn't believe me."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo gritted her teeth and slowly moved closer to Mo Beichen, reaching out to pat his back to comfort him, but was pulled away by a strong force.
Yun Qingluo exclaimed in surprise, and before she knew it, she was already under Mo Beichen.
Yun Qinglu glared at Mo Beichen, "Well, so you've learned to lie now, Achen."
Mo Beichen lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Yun Qingluo's. Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere around them was somewhat ambiguous.
Mo Beichen looked at Yun Qingluo's luscious red lips, his eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed.
Yun Qingluo froze, "Ah, Achen."
Mo Beichen snapped out of his daze and saw Yun Qingluo's tense expression. He chuckled softly and rolled over to lie down next to Yun Qingluo.
He reached out and pulled Yun Qingluo into his arms, covered them both with the blanket, and said in a deep voice, "Be good, I won't touch you, get some rest."
Yun Qingluo felt a warm feeling in her heart as she watched the man possessively encircle her.
She snuggled closer to the man, found a comfortable position, closed her eyes, and said, "Ah Chen, let's sleep together."
Mo Beichen turned his head to look at his little wife's fluffy head, feeling extremely satisfied.
He tightened his arms around Yun Qingluo's waist and closed his eyes contentedly.
The next morning, Yun Qingluo opened her eyes and was met with a pair of smiling eyes.
"Ah Chen, you're awake?" Yun Qingluo smiled and nuzzled against Mo Beichen, speaking sweetly.
She immediately sensed something was wrong and tried to pull back, but the man's hands were faster, and he had already firmly locked her in his arms.
Yun Qingluo looked up, and Mo Beichen's face drew closer. "Luo Luo, playing with fire so early in the morning?"
Without giving Yun Qingluo a chance to speak, he kissed her.
Yun Qingluo's body went limp, melting into Mo Beichen's kiss.
Fortunately, Mo Beichen restrained himself and, after a while, panting, lay on Yun Qingluo's body, saying, "Let Luoluo go for now."
Yun Qingluo: ...Listen to me, thank you.
Yun Qingluo was too weak to continue, so Mo Beichen carried her to get dressed and wash up. She didn't get out of Mo Beichen's arms until she went downstairs and saw her older brothers.
"Big brother, second brother, did you sleep well last night?" Yun Qingluo asked with a smile as she sat down next to Mo Beichen.
"It's alright. Luo Luo, eat this meat bun. I went to the street to buy it, and I also bought some roasted chestnuts and osmanthus cake for you to eat on the way." Yun Ziyu put a bun on Yun Qingluo's plate.
"Thank you, Second Brother, I really like it." Yun Qingluo took a bite, her mouth full of meaty flavor, not greasy at all, it was delicious.
