The journey back to the city seemed to be calm and peaceful. Ah Man sat in the carriage with Jiang Si, feeling a bit regretful that his talents were not being used.

The master clearly said that Princess Qi would do something bad, but now they are about to go back, why haven't they taken any action yet?

If Princess Qi didn't take any action, then she had followed her master out for nothing. She only had a vegetarian meal at Baiyun Temple. What was there to show off to Aqiao?

Ah Man narrowed his eyes and thought, sighing silently.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped, and because it stopped so quickly, the little maid's upper body fell forward.

She reacted quickly, holding onto the car wall with one hand and using the other to help Jiang Si: "Master——"

Jiang Si clearly saw the excitement in the little maid's eyes.

"Wait and see." Jiang Si said softly.

Soon, the driver's voice came from outside: "Princess, the carriage is broken down."

Jiang Si was helped down from the carriage by Ah Man, and he saw that one of the wheels was askew, and it was obviously unusable.

"It's broken here and needs to be repaired." The driver pointed to a place.

"Let me take a look--" Ah Man wanted to go forward but was stopped by Jiang Si.

"Let's fix it then. When will it be ready?" Jiang Si asked in a gentle voice.

The driver looked embarrassed: "It's broken in the wrong place. I'm afraid it will take a while..."

At this time, a gentle voice came: "Seventh brother's wife, what's wrong?"

Jiang Si turned around upon hearing the voice, met the concerned gaze of Princess Qi, and sneered secretly: Evildoers don't have any new tricks, after waiting for so long, they still have to tamper with the carriage.

But she had been prepared for this, after all, she had an accident in a carriage in her previous life.

Are you scared?

Glancing at the carriage parked not far away, Jiang Si curled his lips.

She is a stubborn person who never gives up. The more afraid she is, the more she wants to overcome it. Even if she is scared to death, she will not back down.

"The carriage is broken." Jiang Si answered Princess Qi calmly.

After hearing this, Princess Qi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.

To her, these words were undoubtedly the beginning of luring Princess Yan into a trap.

Jiang Si took in Princess Qi's expression and curled the corners of his lips in the same way.

Who is the hunter and who is the prey? Unfortunately, Princess Qi is too stupid to tell the difference.

It doesn't matter, the final result will make her understand.

Princess Qi looked at the carriage for a few times and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, we don't know when the carriage will be repaired. We can't just keep waiting like this. If you don't mind, come ride in a carriage with me."

Jiang seemed slightly hesitant.

Princess Qi advised again: "Seventh brother's wife, it's so cold, let's not delay on the road. My carriage is quite spacious, it's no problem for the two of us to sit in it. Besides, if you go back earlier, you can also be with the children..."

Jiang Si seemed moved by these words and nodded slightly.

Ah Man was a little nervous and whispered: "Master——"

Jiang Si glanced at Aman and signaled her to be quiet.

Princess Qi smiled when she saw this and said, "It's just that the maidservant of my seventh brother's wife has to bear with it and walk with my maidservant."

Normally, a carriage would be spacious for one person and a maid, but if Jiang Si and Princess Qi were to ride in the same carriage, plus two maids, it would be too crowded.

Jiang Si glanced at Ah Man calmly and said nonchalantly, "What grievances have the little maid had?"

Princess Qi's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she felt relieved.

Fortunately, Princess Yan agreed. She was worried that Jiang, this troublemaker, would rather walk on her own two legs than ride in the same carriage with her.

Seeing that Jiang Si was about to get on the carriage with Princess Qi, Ah Man Baba called out, "Master——"

What's going on? The master is going to ride in a carriage with that bad woman, Princess Qi, and she can only follow the carriage. What if the master is in danger and she doesn't have time to help?

Jiang Si glanced at Aman and said with a straight face: "Forgot what I told you? When you go out, behaving well is the most important thing."

Ah Man immediately remembered what Jiang Si had said on the way here, bit her lip, and whispered, "My master is right, I understand."

Only then did Jiang Si feel at ease getting on the carriage and taking a look inside.

The carriage was identical to the one she remembered, and the interior was similar.

This is not difficult to understand. After all, Princess Qi was poor, and she saved a lot of money by using the same carriage for years.

Jiang Si thought about it and felt that she was a bit harsh, but this kind of harsh thought made her feel very happy and at ease.

The carriage shook and started moving.

"What would you like to eat, sister-in-law?" asked Princess Qi.

Jiang Si glanced at the candied fruit boxes piled on the table and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Fourth Sister-in-law. I'm not used to eating in the car."

In her previous life, she and Princess Qi rode in the same carriage without eating anything. However, it was not the food that made her weak and unable to escape, but——

Jiang Si gently moved his nose and swept the hollow incense ball hanging in a corner of the car wall.

A faint fragrance is flowing out as the incense ball shakes.

It's hard to describe what the aroma is, but it's pleasant. Especially for someone who has a very sensitive sense of smell like ginger, it's rare to have this feeling.

In her previous life, she asked what kind of fragrance this was. Princess Qi explained that it was a kind of spice from overseas and was very rare. She also said that if she liked it, she could give her some later.

"What kind of fragrance is this? It smells very nice." Jiang Si thought about this and spoke.

Princess Qi was startled, but soon smiled and said, "It's a kind of spice from overseas, very rare. If Seventh Sister-in-law likes it, I'll have someone send some to you later."

Jiang Si chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, you should keep such precious spices for yourself. I seldom use spices, but I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Princess Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her clenched fists.

Jiang was a smart person and she thought the other party had discovered something.

The incense in the incense ball is indeed imported from overseas, mixed with a substance that can make people feel weak and limp. Once people inhale it for a long time, they will become vulnerable to attack. However, if they take a decoction that can control this substance in advance, they will be fine.

Princess Qi secretly calculated the time, waiting for the moment when Jiang Si would explode.

And Jiang Si was also calculating the time.

Since I have to pretend, of course I have to pretend decently so as to cooperate with Princess Qi in acting.

Thinking that the time was almost up, Jiang Si leaned against the wall of the car and frowned, "Fourth sister-in-law, please open the car window curtain. I feel like I can't breathe."

Princess Qi's eyes flashed, and her smile fell into Jiang Si's eyes, becoming deeper.

"Seventh brother's wife feels suffocated?"

"Um."

"Okay, I'll open the curtain to get some fresh air." Princess Qi said in an inexplicable tone, stretched out two slender fingers to pinch a corner of the car curtain, and coughed.

Jiang seemed to be leaning against the wall of the car, as if he had more and more strength left, like a vine unable to cling to a tree.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly sped up.
