Touching my sore spot!
They saw Lang Po riding a horse towards them. He had a lot of scrolls with him and they were all tied to his back …
Lang Po pulled the reins and quickly dismounted. He handed the scroll to Ji Yunshu.
"Teacher Ji, I've brought along the paintings you left on the table. Is that correct?"
Ji Yunshu opened one of the scrolls. It was an incomplete portrait. She could roughly make out its appearance, but it wasn't clear.
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes at the painting. "This is what you meant by important?"
Nod!
"This is the portrait of the skeleton with the problem last time. I want to take it with me on the road and study it slowly."
Jing Rong finally understood.
Ji Yunshu had already rolled up the painting. She glanced at the carriage behind her. "I'll go see Aunty Xie first. “
"This King will wait for you in the carriage."
"En!"
Ji Yunshu placed the painting on the carriage and went to look for Aunty Xie.
Auntie Xie sat in the carriage. She was excited, anxious, and worried.
He was excited that his daughter's case had finally been successfully appealed, but at the same time, he was worried that the case would end up with nothing!
His emotions were intertwined!
She broke out in a cold sweat.
When Ji Yunshu parted the curtains, Aunty Xie burst into tears of gratitude.
With bloodshot eyes, he leaned out of the carriage.
"Teacher Ji, thank you, thank you so much …"
He almost knelt down in the carriage!
Ji Yunshu hurriedly said, "Aunty Xie, there's no need to thank me. This trip to Yufu will take some time. Don't worry, the Supreme Court has already investigated this case. They will definitely give your daughter justice."
"En, then I'll have to trouble Teacher Ji for everything."
"You should also take good care of your body. Don't catch a cold."
"Yes!" Aunty Xie sniffled, tears welling up in her eyes.
After comforting him, she boarded Jing Rong's carriage.
Jing Rong was sitting inside. He did not ask about Aunty Xie's condition. He merely narrowed his eyes and gave Lang Po an order.
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Lang Po responded and ordered his men to move out.
The carriage slowly left the Rong Estate.
Aside from the Capital Governor, not a single official came to inquire about Jing Rong's investigation of the missing relief funds. Even Qi Zhen Emperor only issued an imperial edict and ignored it.
When the carriage was about to reach the city gates, Jing Rong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Did you tell Wei Yi about your trip to Yufu County?"
She shook her head.
"I couldn't bear to tell him, but this morning, I sent someone to deliver a letter to Mo Ruo at Yuhua Pavilion, asking him to help me take care of Wei Yi. I also asked him not to tell Wei Yi, as I'm worried that he'll look for me everywhere."
"You're quite thoughtful!"
"It's not like you don't know Wei Yi's temper!"
As soon as she said this, Jing Rong's face was filled with jealousy, but he did his best to suppress it.
His handsome brows inadvertently raised as he said, "Since you can't bear to, why don't you bring him along?"
Ji Yunshu could hear the jealousy in his voice. She looked at him with her small eyes and said seriously, "Yufu is too far away. It's not convenient to bring him along."
"What if it's closer?"
"I want him to stay by Mo Ruo's side."
"Cure his illness?"
"Yes!"
Ji Yunshu nodded.
Jing Rong suddenly thought of a question and asked her, "If one day, Wei Yi suddenly recovers, have you thought about the future?"
Huh?
Ji Yunshu didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Why do you suddenly ask?"
Jing Rong said, "Logically speaking, you are still Wei Yi's fiancée."
He really touched a sore spot!
But this was indeed a question that should be considered. After all, Lord Wei and Madame Wei had passed away, and the marriage was not canceled. Now, Ji Yunshu was still Wei Yi's fiancée.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to talk about this matter, so she only said, "Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei died because of me. I can't repay what I owe Wei Yi in this lifetime. Other than feeling sorry for them, I can only do my best to take care of him. But I can't marry him. I don't want to deceive him and myself just because of a marriage that was decided by my parents."
Her meaning was clear.
Jing Rong snorted. He understood her meaning and narrowed his eyes. He leaned back and softly said, "Yes, this Prince understands."
Then, there was no more movement.
At this time, the carriage had already left the city gates.
After traveling for a while, they reached the official road. The weather had also improved. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and the shade from the trees was alluring. However, the official road into the capital was cold, and the heat was relieved.
Suddenly …
The carriage stopped.
Jing Rong felt that the carriage was in trouble. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lang Po's voice came from outside. "Your Highness, there's a carriage in the middle of the road. The road is too narrow, we can't pass!"
"Oh?"
Which idiot is it? How rude!
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu leaned out of the carriage together.
Right in front of their carriage was a simple black carriage. It didn't look like it belonged to an official, nor did it belong to a wealthy family.
Just as Jing Rong was about to send Lang Po over —
A leg swung out from the carriage in front of them. After swaying for a while, half a body and a hand appeared.
There was a jug of wine in the wide sleeve.
A few drops of wine flowed out of the jug and dripped onto the dry ground. When the wind blew, it gave off a faint aroma of wine.
Wasn't that the wine Jing Xian brewed?!
Therefore, the person sitting in the carriage in front of them was none other than Mo Ruo.
By the time Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu realized what was going on, Mo Ruo had already jumped out of the carriage. Carrying the wine, his clothes fluttered as he walked over.
He squinted his drunken eyes and laughed foolishly at Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu.
He called out, "Why are you so late? The sun is so hot, and I'm dying from waiting. I've almost finished the wine I brought with me. "
That look!
It was really comical.
Jing Rong jumped out of the carriage and looked at him from head to toe. "Why are you here?"
"Of course I'm going to Yufu with you! I heard that it's a beautiful place. How could I miss such a beautiful scenery? Moreover, you're not in the capital, so it's boring for me to stay here. So, I waited for you here for a while. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he lost his balance and leaned against the carriage.
Ji Yunshu also got out of the carriage and asked worriedly, "Where's Wei Yi?"
"Wei Yi?" Mo Ruo's eyes rolled up as he muttered, "Wei Yi? Where did he go? "
Big Brother, you can't be serious!
Ji Yunshu's heart clenched when she heard his words.
However, Mo Ruo's eyes suddenly lit up.
He pointed at the carriage in front of them.
"Here! That silly boy fell asleep in the carriage in front. I only gave him a sip of wine and he collapsed. He can't hold his liquor well, but he still wanted to try something new! "
Was it you who gave him the wine?
