After walking on the road for two days, Ye Zhen did not find anyone following her. Maybe it was really an illusion. She relaxed and followed the caravan into Hamu City, the easternmost city of Jin Kingdom.
"It's dark now. The ships at the port will not sail. Let's spend the night here and set off tomorrow morning." Hong Ling said to Ye Zhen.
Outside, it was snowing heavily, and the ground was covered with a layer of white snow. The weather in Hamu City was colder than that in the capital. It had not snowed this year, but the trees here had already condensed into bundles of ice.
"What house?" Ye Zhen exhaled white air. She was still holding a heater in her hand, but it was still difficult to resist the cold weather.
"We used to travel this way, but it was inconvenient to live in an inn. So Uncle Man bought a house here so that we can stay when we pass by."
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Man is thoughtful."
"Let's go to the house first. The girl is freezing." Hong Ying looked at Ye Zhen and said.
"It's not far ahead. Brother Sun sent people back to prepare first. The hot kang in the house must have been heated." Hong Ling said with a smile, letting the coachman in front speed up.
Hong Ying looked at the weather outside. "It's snowing so heavily. I don't know if we can sail tomorrow."
In case the river freezes, they should not be able to walk.
Ye Zhen frowned slightly and nodded. "The snow should be getting heavier."
"Miss, there is only one way to Dongqing from here. There is no land route." Hong Ling whispered.
"If there is no other way, we can only wait here for a few days." Ye Zhen said.
…
…
Lu Lingzhi stood in the wind and snow. He had been following Ye Zhen for two days, but he did not have the courage to appear in front of her. He knew that she had noticed him, so he dared not approach her.
What if she asked him why he killed Ye Zhen? How should he answer her?
He could say that he did it for the Lu family, but now how could he say such a thing in front of her? What was the relationship between the Lu family and the Ye family? Why did Ye Zhen die for the glory and wealth of the Lu family?
He could not answer a single question.
"Sir, you … why don't you go and see Third Young Lady?" Luo Jing looked at Lu Lingzhi and asked in a low voice. As Lu Lingzhi's trusted subordinates, they all knew that Lu Yaoyao was not the biological daughter of Third Elder Lu. They also knew that Lu Lingzhi was infatuated with her. Now that Lu Yaoyao was not far away from them, why did he hesitate?
Lu Lingzhi looked at him indifferently. "She won't want to see me."
Wasn't this already known? In any case, she was a woman. He would first snatch her and subdue her. Once she became his woman, she would still be obedient.
"Master, do you want me to bring Third Young Lady here?" Luo Jing asked.
"No need." Lu Lingzhi immediately shook his head. "Let's wait and see where she's going."
He had followed Yaoyao for so many days, but he still couldn't figure out what she was going to do. Was she running away from the wedding? Why was he with the caravan?
It was snowing heavily outside, and Lu Lingzhi's mood was even heavier.
The next day, Ye Zhen and the others couldn't leave because the university still had no intention of stopping. There was already a foot of snow on the ground. They could only continue to wait in Hamu City until the port opened. Only then could they leave.
"Miss, it's been so many days, but there is still no news from the capital. It seems that … no one will come to take you back." Hong Ling said to Ye Zhen with joy.
Ye Zhen nodded gently, but her mood was not as relaxed as Hong Ling's. There was no news from the capital. Either no one had found out that she was missing, but this possibility was very small, or Mo Rongzhan … did not want to look for her anymore.
He must be very angry. This was the second time she had left without saying goodbye.
"Miss, will we never come back again?" Hong Ling asked in a low voice.
If her father and brother were in Dongqing, maybe she would never come back again. "I don't know. Let's find my father first."
The snow lasted for three days. On the fourth day, it was finally sunny. However, the port still did not allow the merchant ships to leave. It seemed that they had to wait for another two days.
"Why are we not allowed to leave?" Hong Ling asked Sun Peidong doubtfully. "Was there such a situation before?"
"Maybe there is ice on the river at the port, so it is not allowed to leave. Let's wait another day." Sun Peidong said.
Ye Zhen frowned and looked around. After staying in the house for a few days, she took advantage of the fact that it was not snowing today, so she went out to have a look. Not long after she came out, the feeling of being followed became obvious again.
"Hong Ling, Hong Ying, let's go over there." Ye Zhen said softly and walked with Hong Ling to a less crowded place.
"Miss, someone is following us." Hong Ying walked to Ye Zhen's side and whispered in a low voice.
Ye Zhen nodded indiscernibly, and the three turned into a small alley. "Help …" Ye Zhen shouted, "Help …"
The people who had been following them intended to keep a distance so as not to be discovered. Just as they were about to retreat, they heard a cry for help coming from the alley.
Isn't this Lu Yaoyao's cry?
Luo Jing was afraid that his master's sweetheart would be hurt, so he immediately rushed to save her.
When he entered the alley, he saw Lu Yaoyao standing there and looking at him coldly. Luo Jing realized that one of her maids was missing and he knew something was wrong. Just when he was about to run away, he felt a heavy blow on the back of his neck. His vision turned black and he turned around to take a look. It was the maid named Hong Ying. She was holding a wooden stick that was as thick as an arm. "You …"
Damn girl, I will remember you!
"Miss, what should we do? Who is he? "Hong Ling frowned and asked. She seemed to have never seen this person before.
Ye Zhen said coldly, "He is Lu Lingzhi's man."
It seemed that he was the one who had been secretly following her these days.
How did Lu Lingzhi know that she was here? What did he want to do?
Hong Ling's eyes flashed with a touch of hatred. "Kill him!"
"Take him back first." Ye Zhen snorted coldly. She wanted to know if Lu Lingzhi was in Hamu City.
"Miss, go and ask someone to drive the carriage here." Hong Ying said.
Ye Zhen nodded and said to Hong Ling, "Let a few people watch him. Don't let him run away."
Hong Ling said, "This servant will treat Lu Lingzhi's people well."
Even Lu Lingzhi knew that she was here. How could Mo Rongzhan not know? He was not going to come to her.
That was better. She didn't have to feel guilty about him. Could they forget each other?
"Miss, should we hurry up?" Lu Lingzhi's people have been found. Then … what about the emperor? Miss has been conferred the title of Empress. I'm afraid the emperor will not let you go easily.
Ye Zhen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Even if we want to set off, we must be able to walk."
