Ye Zhen was sent back to the house by Murong Ke. Shen Yuexuan handed Shen Yue 'er over to him, and then they went to Murong Ke's place together.
"Miss, why did that pirate come again?" Hong Ying asked nervously. That Bai Ziqi didn't look like a good person. How could he be a scholar? He really didn't have the slightest temperament of a scholar.
"I don't know. In short, don't go out and meet them these days." Ye Zhen whispered. Listening to Bai Ziqi's words, it seemed that he suspected Li Yuniang gave her the map, but Shen Yuexuan didn't seem to believe it.
That Bai Ziqi didn't seem to want to let her go. If she went to the capital alone, he would definitely retaliate against her.
Do I really want to continue to get along with Murong Ke? Ye Zhen felt some resistance from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking about what Murong Ke said, she felt a little scared, as if she felt danger.
"Sister Lu, my father is here. We will be back to the capital soon." Shen Yue 'er didn't know what Ye Zhen was worried about, but seeing her unhappy face, she wanted to say something to cheer her up.
Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. "Yes, with your father here, don't you feel a lot more at ease?"
"When we return to the capital, will you come to me again?" Shen Yue 'er asked.
"Well, I will." Ye Zhen nodded gently. "Is it time to take your medicine?"
Shen Yue 'er's little face showed a sad expression. "I don't like taking medicine at all."
"You can only get better by taking medicine." Ye Zhen said.
Until dark, the three men in Murong Ke's room did not come out. Shen Yue 'er took her medicine and fell asleep. The longer they talked, the more nervous Ye Zhen felt. She didn't know what they would do next.
Now that Murong Ke was protecting her, Bai Ziqi didn't dare to do anything to her. If Murong Ke was convinced by them and believed that she had taken Li Yuniang's things, what would they do?
"We will leave tomorrow morning." Ye Zhen whispered to Hong Ying.
Hong Ying nodded gently. "Miss, this servant will clean up first."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Shen Yuexuan's voice from outside. He was ordering Aunty Huang to prepare some food for them, accompanied by Bai Ziqi's impatient voice.
"Miss Lu, is Wen 'er asleep?" Not long after, Shen Yuexuan said outside.
Ye Zhen did not let Hong Ying open the door. "He's already asleep."
Shen Yuexuan was silent for a moment. "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Lu to take care of San 'er for me."
Peace was quickly restored outside the door. Ye Rou's brows furrowed, and she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
The next day, before dawn, Ye Zhen had already gotten up. It was silent outside, not even a rooster crow.
"Miss, we have to leave the village first. The carriage belongs to Young Master Murong. We have to find Uncle Man first," Hong Ying said in a low voice.
Ye Zhen knew that Man Qin would definitely follow them all the way, but it was not clear where they would stay now. No matter what, they had to avoid Bai Ziqi first.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Murong Ke standing outside.
"Why are you here?" Ye Zhen was stunned. Did he hear what they said?
"Who is Uncle Man?" Murong Ke stared at her with burning eyes and found that she seemed to be hiding a lot of things from him. Even her appearance was disguised. He didn't know how much of what she said was true.
Ye Zhen curled her lips. "My father's friend in Dongqing."
"Are you going to leave without saying goodbye?" Murong Ke looked coldly at Hong Ying's baggage. Anger surged in his chest. She actually wanted to leave like this.
"That pirate wanted to kill me." Ye Zhen said lightly.
Murong Ke laughed angrily. "Do you think you can avoid Bai Ziqi like this? If you leave on your own, it will be the most dangerous. Little girl, no one dares to hurt you with me here. "
Ye Zhen thought that she didn't know what kind of person Murong Ke was. Who knew if he would suddenly cooperate with Bai Ziqi? How could she trust others to protect her life when she was away from home?
"You don't believe me." Murong Ke saw that she didn't say a word. What else could he not understand? He smiled bitterly and said, "Little girl, I will protect you. I will not let Bai Ziqi harm a single hair of yours."
Ye Zhen looked at his handsome and vivid eyebrows and felt a trace of warmth in her heart because of his words. Although she didn't like him always saying something improper, she had to admit that he did take good care of her along the way. Without him, she might have been thrown off the ship by Bai Ziqi.
"What did he mean by what he said yesterday? Why did he mention Li Yuniang? "Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
The smile on Murong Ke's mouth was cold. "He was stupid enough to be fooled by Li Yuniang. Don't pay attention to him."
"Will he go to the capital with us?" Ye Zhen frowned. The thought of going with Bai Ziqi made her feel very resistant in her heart.
"If you don't like it, let's separate from them." Murong Ke looked at her slightly raised nose and seemed really unhappy. He chuckled. "I didn't intend to go with them."
Ye Zhen looked at him, not wanting him to misunderstand that she was avoiding something. "I don't like Bai Ziqi. He almost threw me into the river."
"I know." Murong Ke's eyes were tinged with a smile. In fact, whether Li Yuniang gave her the thing or not, it had no effect on him at all. Even if she had what Shen Yuexuan wanted, so what? Since Li Yuniang gave it to her, it was hers. As long as she didn't want it, no one could rob her of it.
Ye Zhen was a little embarrassed by his smile. "Then I'll go back to the house."
She really didn't know what kind of person Murong Ke was. He could actually predict that she would leave today. It seemed that she couldn't leave until she reached the capital.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Hong Ying asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry about it. We'll talk about it when we get to the capital." Ye Zhen said.
Two days later, Ye Zhen and her crew continued their journey to the capital. Shen Yuexuan and Bai Ziqi wanted to follow them, but not long after they entered the city, they found that there were wanted portraits of Bai Ziqi and other pirates everywhere. Bai Ziqi had to endure his anger and leave again.
Before leaving, he gave Ye Zhen a fierce look, as if he still had a great grievance against her.
With Shen Yuexuan on the same journey, Shen Xiu 'er was obviously a lot happier. Ye Zhen only concentrated on treating Shen Xiu' er on the road. As for Murong Ke's various hints of wanting to see her true face, she just pretended not to understand. When they arrived at the capital, she would return to her original appearance, and Murong Ke would certainly not recognize her.
When they arrived at the capital, it was already close to the end of the year. There were many wanderers on the official road who wanted to go home. Ye Zhen's mood was also excited. Was she going to see her brother?
"Where does your fiancé live?" Murong Ke asked Ye Zhen. He suspected that she had no fiancé at all. Maybe she made it up to deceive him.
