Chapter 310 Departure (Update 1)
The voice sounds quite familiar.
The master and the servant did not notice Chen Yanchuan's presence and continued to walk forward hurriedly.
The little maid said, "Everything about Shiluan City is good, except that the weather has been so unpredictable recently! You get soaked every time you go out these days!"
Even though I was holding an umbrella, it was still easy to get my skirt, shoes and socks wet when the wind and rain were strong and heavy.
She whispered, "You have finally recovered. If you catch a cold again, it will be bad."
The woman smiled and shook her head: "The weather in autumn changes every day, and it just rained a few times, it's nothing serious."
The little maid couldn't help but said, "Even so, you can rest at home for a few days. It won't be too late to come out when the weather clears up! Anyway, we are here now, and we have plenty of time to travel around in the future!"
The woman did not respond to her words. She just smiled and urged, "Let's go back quickly. It's getting late and the road is not easy to walk on."
The little maid was immediately diverted: "Hey! Good!"
The figures of the two people gradually went away and disappeared in the white rain mist.
Shen Yanchuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
That is... Su Pei'er and her personal maid?
After leaving the capital, the two of them came here?
"drive!"
Suddenly, a man rushed out from the corner of the street, riding his horse at full speed, and rain splashed wherever he passed.
Even when he saw someone in front of him, he didn't seem to have any intention of slowing down.
Chen Yanchuan moved his feet and turned slightly.
The man rode past at high speed, looking fierce and domineering.
Shen Yanchuan's gaze fixed on the horse's hoof for a moment.
The man and the horse left quickly. Chen Yanchuan withdrew his gaze and continued to walk towards the outside of the city.
This Shiluan City is indeed full of weirdness.
Not long after Han Tong's case was concluded, Su Pei'er left the capital.
At that time he didn't care, he just thought that Su Pei'er was going to leave this sad place.
But she happened to appear here.
Especially from the conversation I just heard between her and the maid, she has been going out every day for several days.
She has just arrived and probably doesn't have any connections here, so why does she have to go out every day?
What did she do?
In addition, if I remember correctly, before Su Pei'er left the capital, Ye Yunfeng went to give her some medicine.
There would naturally be nothing between Ye Yunfeng and her, but...
A pair of dark, clear eyes with a faint smile flashed through my mind.
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
…
Qingzhou.
Ye Chutang touched Xiaowu's forehead, and told Ye Yunfeng to boil the medicine for another day.
Ye Yunfeng naturally had no objection to this job, but when he took the medicine bag to the kitchenette, he couldn't help but make a joke.
"Only Xiaowu's illness can make Sister so concerned."
If it were him, his sister might not even prescribe him a prescription!
Ye Chutang didn't even raise his head: "If you were ten years younger, I would also take good care of you."
The word "take care of" sounded light, but Ye Yunfeng felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't even dare to imagine what it would be like if his elder sister personally "took care" of him.
The arms and legs should be able to be saved, right?
Ye Yunfeng coughed and smiled awkwardly, "How can I trouble you, sister? I have a strong body and never need you to worry about me! Then I'll go boil some medicine for Xiaowu first—"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already run away.
Ye Jingyan happened to come back.
"Sister." He was wearing a long white gown embroidered with bamboo leaves. His features were clear and handsome, and his figure was tall and thin, making him look more and more like a modest gentleman.
Ye Chutang looked up: "How?"
Ye Jingyan nodded slightly: "The horses are ready. We will tell others that one of our horses had a broken leg when we came here, and we plan to buy a replacement. But, when do you plan to leave, sister?"
"tonight."
Ye Jingyan frowned slightly: "So fast?"
"It's getting late." Ye Chutang smoothed Xiaowu's hair.
If she hadn't been worried about Xiaowu's illness, she would have left the day before yesterday.
Xiaowu raised his head and looked at her eagerly, his eyes flickering and seeming to be filled with guilt.
——She delayed my sister’s important business, didn’t she?
Ye Chutang chuckled and tapped her little nose.
"Your illness has given your sister a legitimate excuse to stay indoors."
In this way, even if she didn't go out for several days, no one would suspect anything.
After hearing this, Xiaowu felt relieved and smiled sweetly at her.
However, when she thought that her elder sister was leaving tonight, she felt reluctant to let her go and threw herself into Ye Chutang's arms, refusing to let go.
Ye Jingyan knew that she had already made arrangements for this trip, and he also knew that she would not easily change her decision. Although he was worried, he still nodded.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll take care of everything here."
Ye Chutang naturally had no worries about him. Now that Ah Yan was already fourteen, there were many things in the Ye family that could be handled by him with good reason.
Seeing his serious expression, Ye Chutang couldn't help but laugh.
"I think I'm worried about you. This isn't the first time you've been out, so relax."
That's true.
When she was in Jiangling, my sister would go out alone every once in a while.
The time is not fixed, sometimes only one night, sometimes three to five days.
He and Afeng didn't know what Ajie was doing outside, but they never asked.
Anyway, my sister has her reasons for everything she does.
It’s just… I can’t say that I’m not worried.
Ye Jingyan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Sister, how many days will it take for you to return this time?"
Ye Chutang thought for a moment and said, "If everything goes well, it will take about seven or eight days. If we are delayed on the way, it may take longer. But it won't delay our return to Beijing."
Ye Jingyan actually had a rough guess in his mind.
Ever since elder sister asked them to take a month off, he already knew that elder sister had other plans.
He nodded: "Then...be careful on your journey, sister."
…
That night.
Ye Chutang changed into light clothes, and rode out of Qingzhou quietly.
It was not raining at this time, but the night wind was cold. Ye Chutang held the reins tightly with one hand, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and the horse started to run quickly.
She only brought silver and dry food, and nothing else, and her speed was much faster than that of a horse-drawn carriage.
After two days of sleepless travel, Ye Chutang finally saw the city standing in the distance.
——Shiluan City.
…
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Lian Zhou waited in the room for a long time and finally heard the sound of the window being pushed open.
He immediately stood up: "Master! You are finally back!"
Chen Yanchuan took off his bamboo hat, letting a few drops of rain fall, and gently twisted his chin with his slender fingers. A thin human skin mask was peeled off, revealing an overly cold face.
Lian Zhou couldn't help but say, "Let your subordinates do this. Why do you have to go there in person?"
Ever since he mentioned the iron mine outside the city, his master had been thinking of investigating it, and even asked him to pretend to be him while he went there in person.
Chen Yanchuan thought of what he saw today, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"You can only know the truth if you see it with your own eyes."
