I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 70 Meeting

After entering Yuezhou, there were checkpoints every five miles and camps every ten miles on the official roads and even on the more remote paths. Patrolling guards could be encountered everywhere, and there was not even a petty thief causing trouble along the way.

For lovers on the journey, all they can feel is a full sense of security. Ye Wanshu couldn't help but sigh at how good the security in Yuezhou is. She was afraid that people really didn't lock their doors at night.

No wonder Ayin wanted to marry to Yuezhou.

"Everyone said that Prince Yongning was only fit to be a small-time, unpopular member of the royal family, but I never thought he would govern Yuezhou with such dedication."

Looking at Mu Qingqing, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but praise her, "I'm afraid even Lin'an doesn't match Yuezhou in terms of caring for the people this much."

Mu Qingqing was actually a little puzzled. Her cousin had been in the army since he was a child and had no time to take care of Yuezhou's political affairs. Since her uncle passed away, Yuezhou City's political affairs had mostly relied on the assistance of her aunt and the old ministers in the palace. They would never make such a big fuss and send out soldiers to increase patrols.

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingqing said, "Yuezhou has always been a place with simple customs, so there is no need for such caution. I think some important person is coming to Yuezhou, so they are so cautious."

"We didn't hear any major news from the court when we left Lin'an. The only person who could make the Yongning Palace so worried is you, my dear."

Ye Wanshu held Mu Qingqing's palm, patted it gently and said jokingly, "Thanks to you, Qingqing, our future in Yuezhou will surely be much smoother."

"Sister Wan, please stop making fun of me. I left Lin'an in a hurry. My aunt and cousin don't know I've entered Yuezhou yet, so they wouldn't mobilize such a large force."

Mu Qingqing knew her cousin's temperament. Even if he cared about her, he would at most send a few officials to pick her up. There was no way he would make such a big fuss.

Moreover, she had to rush back to Gusu first and had no intention of going to the Yongning Palace at all.

Hearing her say this, Ye Wanshu didn't think about it anymore. It had nothing to do with her anyway. She was now concerned about Chu Yin's safety, so she ordered Tian Fu to speed up and rush towards Ji Kang County.

After three days of hurried travel, we finally saw the city gate of Ji Kang County.

Thinking that she would see A Yin soon, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but lift the car curtain to look outside. As luck would have it, she saw the convoy of Prince Yongning's Palace coming out of the city.

A gentle breeze lifted the curtain of the carriage in front of him, and a beautiful face could be vaguely seen.

That face is so attractive that it can be engraved in people's bones at first sight.

"Fu Mingchi?" Ye Wanshu was stunned.

What was this person doing in Jikang County for no reason?
Even if he was diligent in his work and loved his people, he shouldn't be so harsh on himself. Ji Kang County was two hundred miles away from Yuezhou City. He had just come out of Lin'an and didn't even go back to the palace, but went straight to Ji Kang County?
Subconsciously lowering the car curtain, Ye Wanshu hurriedly called out, "Uncle Tian, ​​please get out of the way."

Tian Fu naturally did not dare to compete for the road with the palace's carriage, and had already driven the carriage to the side.

Ye Wanshu pretended to be calm and sat upright in the carriage, waiting for the palace's carriage to pass by. Suddenly, the curtain was blown up by the wind, and a cry of surprise came from the carriage opposite.

"Brother, it's a beautiful sister. I think I saw a beautiful sister."

Recognizing the young princess' voice, Ye Wanshu's heart trembled. Thinking of the fake identity of Ye Hui that she had deceived Fu Mingchi, she felt inexplicably guilty and hurriedly ordered Tian Fu, "Hurry and get into the city."

Tian Fu didn't know why his cousin was so nervous. She was like a fugitive who had committed a heinous crime and was afraid that the Yongning Palace would become like this.

But after all, it was his cousin's order, so he had to speed up and drive the carriage quickly into the city.

When Fu Mingchi heard the little kid's cry, he glanced out the window involuntarily. As soon as he saw the carriage on the opposite side, the driver had already driven into the city, slipping away faster than a thief, as if he had a deep hatred for him and was afraid that he would get entangled with him.

Seeing the carriage disappear, Fu Yunni stamped her feet anxiously inside the carriage: "The beautiful sister is gone, the beautiful sister is gone." "Fu Yunni, are you crazy?"

Fu Mingchi took a breath helplessly: "You call her beautiful sister when you meet her. She is so close to you. If you really met her, why would you run away like a snake or scorpion?"

Fu Yunni pouted in grievance: "Brother, she really is a beautiful sister. I didn't lie to you. Quickly let them catch up with the carriage just now."

After causing such a misunderstanding in Jikang County, Fu Mingchi would not allow the little kid to act recklessly again: "Okay, I promise you, when we return to the palace, I will send more people to inquire about her whereabouts. You are not allowed to act recklessly again."

In the past two days, he had been receiving news that secret spies from the imperial court had sneaked into Yuezhou. He was afraid that something big was going to happen. He could no longer stay in Ji Kang County and had to rush back to the palace as soon as possible.

But the little kid wouldn't give in, pouting loudly: "Brother, don't you care about your pretty sister?"

Hearing this, Fu Mingchi felt helpless as he had a point but nowhere to express it.

If he didn't care, why would he go to so much trouble to arrange so many things.

If it was really that girl just now, and there was no grudge between them, and at least he had saved her life, there was no reason for her to hide from him.

Seeing that her elder brother was indifferent, Fu Yunni continued, "Brother, what if our beautiful sister was kidnapped, and the bad guys saw us and drove away because they felt guilty?"

Hearing this, Fu Mingchi lost his composure and immediately ordered outside the carriage, "Turn around and catch up with the carriage."

This infuriated Butler Zhao, who hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Your Highness, the Concubine Dowager is still waiting at the mansion. We've already been on the road for many days, and we can't delay our return any longer."

Fu Mingchi became a little impatient after hearing this, so he lowered the curtain and ordered the convoy to turn around.

Butler Zhao wanted to chase after him to persuade him, but was stopped by Yan Jin and Yu Bai. "Butler Zhao, why don't you go back first? It's rare for His Highness to come out and observe the people's sentiments. Why stop him?"

Butler Zhao said with a bitter face: "Your Highness has already messed up what the Concubine Dowager instructed you to do during your visit to Lin'an. If you don't return home, the Concubine Dowager will definitely be angry."

Yan Jin smiled and said, "Then Housekeeper Zhao will go back and tell the Concubine that there will be a baby in the palace. I guarantee that the Concubine will not only not blame you, but may even reward you handsomely."

"pregnant?"

Butler Zhao was stunned when he heard this. Before he could react, Yan Jin and Yu Bai forcibly put him on a horse and rode away. Then they called a few soldiers to accompany them.

After arranging everything, the two turned around and returned to the city.

Ye Wanshu asked Tian Fu to drive the carriage into Jikang County, and then they drove quickly all the way to Yuhua Town.

It has been many years since I last visited Yuhua Town, and most of my memories of the place are from my childhood.

Yuhua Town was famous throughout the Daye Dynasty for its abundant production of spices. Merchants and celebrities from nearby counties and prefectures all loved to travel here. My grandmother loved making incense, and she once took her to live here for a while. She bought a villa for her and registered it in the name of Yan Mama, her loyal servant, who took care of it on her behalf.

However, this happened after my aunt married into the Duke's Mansion, and my aunt was not aware of it. Therefore, when the ancestral property was sold, the property in Yuhua Town was not included.

As they were about to reach the Qi family, Chu Yin's husband's family, Ye Wanshu ordered Tian Fu to stop the carriage and said to Mu Qingqing, "Qingqing, now that we have entered Yuezhou, you don't have to go into this mess with me."
