Xin Shengyuan grinned, a little embarrassed, revealing a mouthful of bright white teeth.
"It's not far, it just takes a bit longer to ride a horse, but as long as you like it, that's fine."
As he spoke, he moved closer to Gu Jingchun before lowering his voice to speak.
“Master… Actually, I met you once back then, and it was because of you that I joined Tianjing Trading Company. Over the years, I have been striving to be like you.”
"I will continue to work hard in the future and strive to go to Tiandu as soon as possible. Maybe then I can meet my master."
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for the day you go to Tiandu."
After Xin Shengyuan finished speaking, he lowered his voice again.
"master……"
As she spoke, she glanced furtively toward the carriage and whispered in Gu Jingchun's ear.
"Did he bully you?"
"If he bullies you or doesn't believe you, you can leave him."
"Even if you look down on me then, you'll still have Young Master Ye, won't you?"
"Um?"
Gu Jingchun raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Ye Wenxi?"
"Did he come too?"
"Um."
Xin Shengyuan nodded.
"He was almost there, but upon learning that Young Master Shen had already found you, he returned to Tiandu."
Gu Jingchun smiled.
"He's always been very considerate. To be honest, I was able to get away this time thanks to him. I'll definitely thank him properly when I get back."
Upon hearing this, Xin Shengyuan knew that Gu Jingchun had not understood his meaning.
He paused for a moment before handing a brocade box from his bosom to Gu Jingchun, saying, "Master, there is another item inside, which belonged to Young Master Ye. When you return this time, please help me give this to Young Master Ye as well, okay?"
It was just a small matter, and Gu Jingchun readily agreed.
The two chatted and laughed for a few more minutes.
Meanwhile, Shen Hechuan, inside the carriage, pressed himself tightly against the carriage wall, trying to hear what the two were saying.
But I only caught a few snippets of conversation and didn't understand what they were saying.
Enraged, he lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out, only to find Gu Jingchun giving Xin Shengyuan a bright smile.
This caused Xin Shengyuan to blush quickly.
This infuriated Shen Hechuan.
As time ticked by, he could no longer contain himself and prepared to go down and bring back this woman who was always flirting with other men.
However, as soon as he opened the carriage door, he was met with a smiling face from Gu Jingchun.
"You...you're back?"
Gu Jingchun smiled and nodded.
"Um."
She then got into the carriage.
However, Shen Hechuan's gaze was fixed on the two boxes in Gu Jingchun's hands.
What is this?
Gu Jingchun: "It was a gift from Xin Shengyuan."
As she spoke, she opened the box first.
Inside were three small porcelain bottles, and next to each bottle was a piece of paper that clearly recorded the purpose and effects of the medicine.
The porcelain bottles come in three colors, each containing pills specially developed by Xin Shengyuan. One bottle can save a life in a critical moment.
One bottle has detoxifying properties, and the other is for preventing miscarriage.
After reading it, Gu Jingchun closed the box again.
"This Xin Shengyuan is quite considerate."
Shen Hechuan also snorted coldly.
"He's sensible; he didn't give me any hairpins or jewelry that would make me angry."
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"You!"
"What time is it for you to be jealous?"
Shen Hechuan gave a soft hum.
"I'll eat it, because they're all eyeing my wife."
Gu Jingchun was both amused and exasperated by his shameless behavior.
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he looked at the other box in Gu Jingchun's hand.
What is this?
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"I don't know. This was something Xin Shengyuan gave to Ye Wenxi. I'm just taking it back with me."
"Since it's something given to someone else, it's convenient for us to open it."
Shen Hechuan nodded, and finally became much more obedient.
Meanwhile, in Daqi, a different kind of bloody storm was brewing.
At this time, Mo Junxing mustered his troops and stationed a large number of men at the border.
He sat high on his horse, looking at the person on the horse of Da Cheng from a great distance.
At the very front of Dacheng's 100,000-strong army, a man sat high on his horse.
He was dressed in armor, with a handsome face and a cold, hard expression.
This person put the Qi generals stationed on the border in a very difficult position.
It's fair to say that people are terrified of even talking about it.
Because this person is extremely powerful and invincible on the battlefield.
He was well-versed in military strategy and extremely skilled in using troops.
Over the years, many of the generals of the Great Qi have suffered losses at his hands.
So, when they saw him, they all subconsciously frowned.
Mo Junxing also recognized him; he was a young man from the previous competition with Da Cheng, and was definitely quite capable.
Moreover, he is a man of courage.
Even now that they have seen him, they remain neither humble nor arrogant, showing no intention of retreating.
Mo Junxing understood that this was just Shen Hechuan's scheme to make him give up on Gu Jingchun as soon as possible so that he could leave Dacheng.
He also knew that he simply didn't have time to fight against this army of 100,000.
After all, Empress Dowager Xiao was watching him closely, and the longer he was delayed, the more dangerous his situation would become.
