Chapter 689 Debut - The Return Journey
Gu Shuyan gritted her teeth. If it weren't for Consort Yun and the Princess making preparations in advance and finding her parents, her elder brother would probably already be a handful of dust by now.
Seeing how busy she was, Yun Yichen stepped forward and hugged her tightly. "Don't worry! Whether it's the revenge for Father and the others, or yours, we will avenge them all."
“No, it’s a feud with my Gu family,” Gu Shuyan corrected.
"Alright, we will avenge all our grievances against them one by one."
Following her lead, Yun Yichen knew that although Gu Shuyan had not yet told him about her experiences, he already had a general idea of what Gu Shuyan had gone through in her previous life.
Now that Sun Ruoyun is back, what should we do next?
After finishing their conversation about Yun Yichen, the two returned to talking about Sun Ruoyun.
“Mo Qin has already had people watching her. As soon as she returns to the capital, our people will monitor her for twelve hours a day. Since she has been sent to Wei for a political marriage, Sun Ruoyun naturally dares not return to the Sun family, nor does she dare to show her face in public. Therefore, as long as we keep an eye on her whereabouts, we will surely gain something.”
Sun Ruoyun has been gone for some time now, and even if they wanted to do something along the way, it's too late.
Moreover, Sun Ruoyun is a big fish, and they can't just let her go.
"Sun Ruoyun must have made a lot of preparations for her trip to Wei. Although she has returned, we still need to keep a close eye on her there to prevent her from causing any trouble."
Gu Shuyan spoke with a serious expression.
Yun Yichen looked at it, his eyes curving into a beautiful arc, and asked Gu Shuyan, "Does my wife need my help with such a small matter?"
Yun Yichen's words startled Gu Shuyan at first, then she said somewhat embarrassedly, "You already knew?"
Gu Shuyan thought she had done a very discreet job of secretly sending people to Wei, but unexpectedly Yun Yichen still found out.
"Madam, have you forgotten that Xu Fengyuan was originally one of my men?"
Gu Shuyan naturally knew that Xu Feng was Yun Yichen's man, but before leaving, Xu Feng had clearly promised not to reveal a single word about this matter in advance.
Even when telling Yun Yichen, it could only be said that he was secretly helping Gu Shuyan.
"That Xu Feng, I'll tell Mingyu on him when I see him."
Gu Shuyan looked like she was going to settle scores later, which made Yun Yichen very happy.
"Don't blame him. Even if he hadn't said anything, I would have found out. However, I'm very pleased that you thought of developing our people in Wei ahead of time for my sake."
Yun Yichen knew that Gu Shuyan was a young lady from the Great Zhou Dynasty. If she hadn't guessed that his identity was related to the Wei Kingdom, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to send the people she trusted most to the Wei Kingdom.
"Given the obvious behavior of the Crown Prince of Wei, I'm worried that if you return to Wei, you might be bullied by him."
Most importantly, Sun Ruoyun also went to the State of Wei to make arrangements.
Based on her understanding of Sun Ruojun, this woman would never expend so much effort on such a futile task.
Since she put so much effort into it, this matter must be far from being as simple as it seems.
At this point, Sun Ruoyun, whom the couple was talking about, had only traveled a little over half the distance, even at top speed.
Because it relies entirely on horses, its speed is naturally not as fast as the carrier pigeons that Yun Yichen trained himself.
March is the busiest season for sowing. Because last year's earthquake wiped out all the food, some remote villages couldn't even produce seeds.
The vegetation is recovering, and we can barely make ends meet with food, but without seeds, the land cannot be cultivated, and how will the people survive next year?
As the sun set and darkness was approaching, Sun Ruojun found a family in the nearest village and borrowed their house.
He took off the food he was carrying and carefully hid it in his small room.
However, when they woke up the next day, the grain had already been secretly taken away by the farmers.
Of course, the farmers knew that what they were doing was wrong, but they could only make up for Sun Ruoyun's lack of grain by using wild vegetables and the like, which could fill their stomachs at the moment.
Sun Ruoyun glanced at the wild vegetables, said nothing, and set off again early.
This time, before noon, Sun Ruoyun was already starving and had to change her route to the nearest county town.
Sun Ruoyun had planned to buy grain in the county town and then leave, but as soon as she entered the town, she was targeted by a playboy.
Although Sun Ruoyun covered most of her face, she was slender and tall, and a seasoned veteran of the pleasure quarters could tell at a glance that she must be quite beautiful.
"Where are you going, young lady?"
An ugly man with lewd eyes sized up Sun Ruoyun while picking at his chin.
Sun Ruojun ignored him and turned to walk around him.
The man wasn't about to let her leave so easily, so he took a few steps forward and grabbed her hand.
"Young lady, you're ignoring me? What? You look down on me?"
The man was so ugly that Sun Ruoyun felt a wave of discomfort in her stomach, which had been empty, after just one glance.
"Young master, you misunderstand. I was just in a hurry to meet someone."
Being far from home, and judging from the other person's attire, he seemed to be a wealthy local, so Sun Ruoyun had no choice but to lower her head.
Seeing that Sun Ruoyun did not seem out of touch with reality, the man was slightly satisfied.
"Oh? Who could you be seeing that makes you so anxious, young lady?"
The man naturally wouldn't let her leave just because of Sun Ruoyun's words. Instead, he persisted and pestered her relentlessly, determined to get to the bottom of things.
"He's just an elder in the family, not worth mentioning in front of you, young master."
Sun Ruoyun continued to lie, but in her heart she was plotting how to escape from this place.
Meanwhile, the lewd-looking man was also sizing up Sun Ruoyun. Judging from her attire, she didn't seem like an ordinary citizen. And hearing her accent from another region, the man couldn't help but lick his lips.
If I'm not mistaken, this woman must have secretly run away from home and lied to me that she was looking for someone, deliberately trying to make me wary and afraid to touch her.
"Since you're looking for someone, young lady, why don't I help you? You're just a girl, how can you compare to the number of people I have?"
Having figured out the key point, the sleazy man gave his men a wink.
Sun Ruoyun was surrounded by several people, who dragged and pulled her forward.
Sun Ruoyun glanced at the crowd gathered in the distance and, while being dragged along, hurriedly cried out, "Help! Help! Someone is trying to abduct me! Someone is kidnapping a young woman!"
Sun Ruoyun's voice immediately drew the attention of those around her, but no one paid any attention to her at all.
Or rather, even if someone wanted to pay attention, they would back down when they saw the man's face.
Seeing this scene, Sun Ruoyun felt helpless and weak for the first time.
