Chapter 347 – Two Big Buns
The innkeeper cried out in fear. His voice trembled as he asked, "What if those people come back?"
Ji Yunshu was about to speak, but Jing Rong answered.
"Those people won't come back."
He was certain!
The innkeeper was skeptical. He looked at Ji Yunshu again, waiting for her answer.
Ji Yunshu nodded at him. "Don't worry, those people won't come back."
"Why?"
"In short, if something like that happens again, just use the method I taught you and copy it. That second-in-command doesn't seem like someone who would go back on his word."
"I hope so! “
The innkeeper wiped his sweat and heaved a sigh of relief.
At this time, Jing Rong pulled Ji Yunshu's hand and went up to the second floor.
Mo Ruo was still leaning against the railing, drinking. Half of his body was falling, as if he would fall if he wasn't careful.
He watched as Jing Rong pulled Ji Yunshu up. At this time …
A guard suddenly ran over, clutching his head in pain.
"Young Master, it's not good. Those two people ran away."
He was referring to Da Chui and Tie San.
Hearing this, Jing Rong hurried over with Ji Yunshu following behind.
The room where the bandits were held was empty.
Only a ball of rope was left on the floor.
"What happened?" Jing Rong questioned the guard.
The guard hurriedly said, "This subordinate doesn't know either. I only heard a shout from inside. When I pushed the door open, someone knocked me out from behind."
"Didn't you notice anything unusual before this?"
"No!"
All of a sudden, Ji Yunshu asked, "Did anyone suspicious come in?"
When he looked, Ji Yunshu was already squatting on the floor, picking up the rope to check.
The guard thought for a moment. "No one suspicious came in, but Miss Ji came. She was worried that the bandits would starve to death, so she brought two buns over."
Ji Wanxin?
Indeed, according to Ji Wanxin's personality, giving buns to the two bandits was her style.
After all, she was a kind girl.
Ji Yunshu asked again, "Did they have any knives on them?"
"Knives? No, they've been searched. "
Looking at the place where the rope was cut, Ji Yunshu suddenly had an idea.
But —
If it was really as he thought, it was unlikely!
Why did Ji Wanxin let them go?
Before she could figure out the whole story, she heard Jing Rong say, "Forget it. If they escaped, then they escaped. Tomorrow, this Prince will write a memorial to the capital and deliver it to Imperial Father. The bandits are rampant, we can't ignore them."
After saying that, he pulled Ji Yunshu up.
Without a word, he pulled her out of the room and stuffed her into her room.
He ordered in an authoritative tone.
"Rest early. We will depart early tomorrow morning."
He didn't wait for Ji Yunshu to finish speaking before he closed the door. Then, he ordered Lang Po, "Watch her carefully. Don't let her come out before we leave tomorrow morning."
"Yes!"
Mo Ruo, who was leaning on the railing, witnessed everything. Seeing how angry Jing Rong was, he laughed as he drank.
Jing Rong narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
"I'm laughing at Teacher Ji."
"Why are you laughing at her?"
"I'm laughing at her for worrying too much."
Hmm?
His words were vague, so no one could understand what he was saying.
This aroused Jing Rong's curiosity. He walked to Mo Ruo's side and directly snatched the wine jug from his hand, drinking a mouthful.
"If you have something to say, you might as well say it."
"Figure it out yourself."
Jing Rong glared at him, threw the wine jug back to him, and left.
The next morning, Jing Rong's people packed their things and prepared to depart.
Just as Ji Yunshu came out of her room, Wei Yi was standing straight in front of her door. His big eyes looked at her affectionately, and the corners of his mouth curved into a warm smile.
In his hands were two big steamed buns.
"Shu 'er, you finally woke up."
"How long have you been standing here?"
"Not long, just a while," said Wei Yi.
Just as he finished speaking, Mo Ruo's voice came from the side. "A while? You silly boy, you've been standing here for half an hour. "
'Half an hour?
How long was that? '
Wei Yi didn't understand.
Ji Yunshu first looked at Mo Ruo. She didn't expect him to drink the whole night!
The floor was littered with empty wine bottles.
Ji Yunshu withdrew her gaze and asked Wei Yi, "Wei Yi, were you waiting for me?"
Wei Yi nodded.
"Shu 'er, I brought you a steamed bun."
He handed the two steamed buns in his hands to her.
The white and plump steamed bun was imprinted with Wei Yi's fingerprints.
Ji Yunshu smiled and pushed the steamed bun back. "Wei Yi, you eat it yourself. I'm not hungry."
"Oh!"
Thus, Wei Yi took a bite of the steamed bun and hid the other one in his clothes.
Then, they went downstairs together.
Downstairs, Jing Rong was eating with Ji Wanxin sitting opposite him.
When Ji Wanxin saw Ji Yunshu come down, she quickly pulled her over and sat her down.
"Yunshu, you must be hungry. I ordered a few of your favorite dishes."
"Many thanks!"
Ji Yunshu looked at Jing Rong, who was eating with gusto. "Where's Aunty Xie?"
"She's already in the carriage."
"Oh."
Jing Rong got up and patted his robes. "I'll wait for you outside. Take your time and eat."
After saying that, he went out.
Ji Wanxin turned to Ji Yunshu and said, "I don't know what happened down there last night, but it was very noisy. I wanted to come down to take a look, but Prince Rong's bodyguards stopped me. Yunshu, do you know what happened?"
She shook her head. "I don't know." Then, she asked, "Second Sister, did you go to the bandit's house last night?"
"Yes, I did. Why?"
"It's nothing."
Ji Yunshu did not finish her sentence. She did not eat a single bite of the food on the table.
"Let's hurry. Hopefully, we'll arrive at Shanhuai County before nightfall."
"Yes."
Mo Ruo and Jing Rong rode together. Wei Yi grabbed Ji Yunshu and refused to let go, wanting to ride with her.
Ji Wanxin coughed and said to Ji Yunshu, "I probably caught a cold last night, so I won't sit in the same carriage as you guys. I don't want to pass it on to you."
"Take care of yourself." Ji Yunshu was concerned.
"Yes."
Ji Wanxin sat alone in one of the carriages, while Ji Yunshu pulled Wei Yi to the last carriage.
Let's go!
In the carriage at the front, Jing Rong lifted the curtains and looked back, but he quickly retracted his head.
Mo Ruo knew what he was thinking and said, "If you're worried, you can sit next to us."
"What's there to worry about?"
"Those two bandits escaped yesterday. They'll definitely come back for revenge. It's normal for you to be worried."
Mo Ruo was really good at reading people's minds.
