After quite a while…

Wei Yi’s brain suddenly sparked, as if he’d remembered something extremely important. Then he turned around and grabbed Jingrong, asking: “Brother, where’s Shu’er? Brother Muruo said he would bring me to find Shu’er. Where’s Shu’er? Where is she? Where? Where is she?”

It was as if he’d instantly forgotten everything that had just happened!

This kid really talked a lot. Not only was he talkative, but he was also particularly long-winded and clingy.

Jingrong was certain that if Ji Yinshu weren’t in the carriage behind them, he would definitely kick Wei Yi out. Otherwise, he worried that after kicking Wei Yi out, Ji Yinshu from the carriage behind would pick him up!

And then ride together with him!

That would be so not worth it!

Helplessly taking a breath, Jingrong could only say: “Don’t worry, your Shu’er won’t get lost. She’s right behind us. When we reach the inn, you’ll be able to see her.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Wei Yi was wildly excited, impatiently leaning his body out the carriage window, bracing his hands on the window’s edge and straining to look backward. Sure enough, he saw the carriage following behind, and began shouting at the top of his lungs.

“Shu’er…”

That voice—rich and resonant!

In the carriage behind, hearing the sound, Ji Yinshu thought she was hearing things and pricked up her ears to listen again.

“Shu’er…”

Wasn’t that Wei Yi’s voice?

Ji Wanxin heard it too. She reached out to pull aside the front curtain and saw Wei Yi with half his body hanging out the window of the front carriage. That scene was truly quite comical.

Ji Wanxin, as if seeing some rare animal, quickly pulled Ji Yinshu to look.

She said as she did so: “Yinshu, look quickly! Young Master Wei is calling for you up ahead.”

“Hm?”

She added worriedly: “Why would Prince Rong let him stick his body out like that? How dangerous!”

Just as Ji Yinshu had shifted her body and was about to look out through the lifted corner of the curtain, Wei Yi up ahead was pulled back into the carriage by Jingrong in one motion.

So when she looked, there was nothing!

Ji Wanxin sighed with a face full of regret: “You really should have seen it.”

Ji Yinshu smiled without speaking!

After putting down the carriage curtain, Ji Wanxin said with veiled sarcasm: “Something happened to the Wei family, Young Master Wei is quite pitiful.”

“…”

“You brought him all the way to the capital. The relationship between you two…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but there was a certain implication in her tone.

Ji Yinshu wasn’t stupid either. She could hear what she was getting at, so she smiled and said: “Apart from me, Wei Yi has no one else by his side now. I consider him family.”

“What about him? Your betrothal—Father still hasn’t withdrawn it. Old Master Wei and Madam Wei have already passed away. Between you two, there is a marriage contract.”

A deliberate reminder!

Ji Yinshu: “I know.”

So Ji Wanxin asked again: “Since there is a marriage contract between you two, what does your relationship with Prince Rong count as?”

Finally getting to the point she wanted to ask about.

What does it count as?

Of course it’s a normal boyfriend-girlfriend relationship!

But Ji Yinshu played it vague, saying: “Second Sister has heard a few words of hearsay and now brings them up with me. It’s fine if you say this to me, but walls have ears—don’t let others overhear.”

“I’m just concerned about you.” She paused, then continued: “Prince Rong treats you very well. If you two were together, it’s not impossible. It’s just that Prince Rong is after all a prince, while you are merely a coroner. Between you two, there will likely be some obstacles. However, in this life, what relationship goes smoothly? Endure it for a while, and it will pass.”

A big bowl of chicken soup!

Bottoms up!

Listening to her words, Ji Yinshu’s lips curved up slightly in a smile, and she said nothing more.

Meanwhile, in the front carriage, how could they know what was being discussed behind them!

After being pulled back, Wei Yi huffily tried to push Jingrong.

Saying as he did so: “What are you doing? I want to find Shu’er. Why are you holding me back?”

“Don’t you know how dangerous that was?”

“I know.”

“Then why did you still do it?”

“I like to. I miss Shu’er. I want to get off the carriage to find Shu’er. I don’t want to sit with you—you reek of alcohol.”

Damn it!

Kid, that alcohol smell is coming from you and Muruo, okay?

Jingrong really couldn’t take it anymore. His hands clenched into fists, flames shooting from his eyes as he glared fiercely at Wei Yi.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, Muruo suddenly woke up.

His eyes weren’t even open yet, but his body moved, and then he said unhappily: “What’s all the noise about? So noisy!”

After speaking, he tilted the wine jug that he’d never let go of toward his mouth, but there was no wine inside.

His eyes slowly opened. He shook the wine jug properly—truly not a single drop remained. Frowning, he casually tossed the wine jug out of the carriage and cursed: “The wine jug is so small. That guy Jingxian is really stingy.”

Wei Yi and Jingrong just watched him complete this entire series of actions!

Muruo twisted his neck and looked blearily at Wei Yi across from him, then said: “Go get me my wine.”

The bearing of a master!

Wei Yi was already in a huff and in a bad mood, so he lifted his foot and kicked him.

“Get it yourself, drunkard!”

“What did you say?”

“I said drunkard.”

“Say that again.”

“Drunkard, drunkard…”

It felt like singing “Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister, lovely sister”!

Muruo’s face turned livid. He raised his hand and struck down hard on Wei Yi’s head, angrily saying: “You little brat, have your wings grown strong? You actually dare to talk back to me? Next time I give you acupuncture, I’ll definitely use the large-headed needles.”

Wei Yi was already timid by nature. Being frightened like this, he naturally became somewhat afraid, shrinking his body backward.

But his mouth remained stubborn: “If you have the guts, kill me. Even as a ghost, I won’t let you off.”

Oh my!

Had this kid eaten explosives today, or swallowed a bear’s heart and leopard’s gall bladder?

He’d just finished arguing with Jingrong, and now he was going at it with Muruo.

Muruo wasn’t like Jingrong—when faced with such retorts, he naturally wouldn’t just laugh it off.

And so—

A debate competition began just like that!

The two argued back and forth, completely ignoring Jingrong.

They also didn’t notice that Jingrong was completely done.

Jingrong held his fists clenched on his knees, his ears filled with the buzzing sound of arguing, his face helpless and full of impatience.

What kind of damn carriage have I gotten into?

The arguing never stopped, and Jingrong finally couldn’t take it anymore. Just as he was about to interrupt the two—

Suddenly!

The carriage jolted violently, accompanied by the horses’ neighing. The carriage nearly tipped over on its side. The people inside the carriage were tossed together in a heap.

Jingrong on the bottom, Muruo in the middle, Wei Yi on top!

At this moment, Jingrong had collapsed to the extreme.

However, endure—still endure!

The carriage also stopped at this moment.

They could only hear a fierce shout from outside: “Get out of the carriage! This is a robbery!”
