Yun Shengsheng looked into Wenren Jue's eyes and said.

"Is your brother willing to come with us now?" she asked in a low voice. "Maybe in the future, we can even help you get revenge."

Wenren Jue was taken aback. Looking at Yun Shengsheng's beautiful eyes, which seemed to see through everything, he frowned slightly.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Yun Shengsheng nodded in satisfaction: "Alright, let's all quickly wash up and rest. There are still more than three hours until dawn."

After Yun Shengsheng finished speaking, she left the room and went to the next room to wash up. Wu Xia naturally followed to take care of her.

Yun Qiaoqiao originally wanted to leave as well, but Wenren Jue grabbed her arm.

Wenren Jue looked at him with slightly red eyes.

"Um, what's your name?"

Yun Qiaoqiao blinked: "Oh, I forgot to mention, my name is Yun Qiaoqiao, and my sister's name is Yun Shengsheng. The other girl is Wu Xia, and she's my sister's bodyguard."

"So what's your name?"

Wenren Jue pursed his lips: "My name is Wenren Jue!"

Yun Qiaoqiao didn't react in any special way, she just nodded.

Seeing that his face was pale and the hand gripping her wrist was still icy cold, she quickly pulled him to lie down on the bed and covered him completely with the blanket.

"Young Master Wen, you should get some rest and make sure you don't fall ill."

"We're leaving the city first thing tomorrow morning."

Wenren Jue lay on the bed watching her.

"Okay, but thank you so much for today. If it weren't for you, I would have..."

Yun Qiaoqiao immediately covered his mouth.

Men are all talkative!

"Okay, okay, you've said thank you so many times. Go to sleep!"

"It's really getting late!"

After Yun Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she patted his shoulder reassuringly before blowing out the candle, turning around and leaving, closing the door behind her.

Wenren Jue lay in bed, still feeling somewhat surreal.

He really escaped...

In another room, Wu Xia hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been bothering her the most.

"Miss, we've brought the princess's people out. Will they come looking for us? Will they seal off the city gates?"

Yun Shengsheng turned around and smiled at her.

"Don't worry, don't worry. By the time they realize the people are gone, the city gates should already be open, and we'll be out of the city."

Yun Qiaoqiao entered at this moment.

"Little sister, how confident are you?"

Yun Shengsheng said, "I'm absolutely certain!"

"So go to sleep now!"

After she finished speaking, she let out a big yawn, burrowed under the covers, and closed her eyes. But in her heart, she was thinking:

[Hehe, I didn't just steal from one person in the princess's residence; I also stole all the treasures from her secret treasury. When the eldest princess finds out, she'll be furious and seal off the city gates, not letting a single mosquito out!]

But, hehe!

The princess will sleep soundly tonight; she won't be able to get up until late tomorrow!

She mentally gave the system a thumbs up.

The 500-point "Nightmare Chain Charm" was definitely worth it.

The eldest princess is currently dreaming, and those she killed are lining up to claim her life.

[The one with the dagger stabbed her, the one with the white silk strangled her, and the one with the branding iron pressed it directly onto her face.]

[There was also someone with an embroidery needle pricking her fingers one by one.]

[It's no use screaming; she won't get out of bed until noon tomorrow. By the time she finally wakes up, we'll already be out of town!]

Yun Qiaoqiao listened to her heartfelt words and really wanted to give her a thumbs up.

As long as the eldest princess doesn't get up tomorrow, even if her subordinates discover that Wenren Jue has disappeared, they won't dare to disturb her sleep.

At most, they would search the entire household, but by the time they had searched the whole mansion and still couldn't find them, they would have already run far outside the city.

As for sealing the city gates, who would dare to do so without the princess's order?

As dawn broke, Wu Xia had already driven her carriage to the city gate.

At this moment, Wenren Jue had changed his appearance. His face was blackened and covered in pockmarks. He was holding Yun Qiaoqiao's travel permit, household registration, and sitting in the carriage with Yun Shengsheng.

Yun Qiaoqiao was hanging upside down under the car and was not noticed by anyone.

A series of dragging footsteps and yawns came from the city gate tower, followed by the scraping sound of heavy bolts being lifted, and the city gate creaked open.

The soldiers guarding the city stood on both sides of the city gate, yawning, and began to check the first group of people leaving the city.

Wu Xia and her group passed through smoothly.

After leaving the city gate and walking for about a mile, Yun Qiaoqiao finally got into the carriage, her face covered in dirt.

Before Yun Shengsheng could make a move, Wenren Jue took out a damp handkerchief and handed it over.

"Qiaoqiao, hurry up and wipe it off, you've worked so hard!"

Yun Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, then took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the dirt off her face and the ash off her neck. She then wiped her hands. After wiping, the white cloth turned gray.

Just as she was thinking about finding a place to wash up, Wenren Jue handed her the water pouch again, and even removed the stopper for her.

"Have some water."

Yun Qiaoqiao took the water pouch and drank several mouthfuls. After drinking, she felt that something was not right, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

She glanced at Wenren Jue with suspicion.

This person is probably in a good mood because they just escaped, and they're being so polite to everyone.

Yun Shengsheng sat in the corner, her eyes sparkling as she watched the scene unfold.

[Hehe, Wenren Jue is so good to Fourth Sister!]

Yun Qiaoqiao was taken aback and looked at Yun Shengsheng.

Yun Shengsheng blinked and looked out the window: "We left early today and didn't have breakfast."

"How about we find a place to eat something up ahead before we continue?"

Wu Xia was driving the carriage outside when she heard this. Just then, she saw a stream shimmering in the morning light not far ahead and made the suggestion.

"Miss, I see a stream ahead. Why don't we rest there for a while?"

None of them objected, and the carriage stopped beside the stream.

The stream is shallow and clear, and you can see the pebbles at the bottom of the water being tinged with a warm yellow by the morning light.

Yun Qiaoqiao jumped out of the car, took the handkerchief she had rubbed until it turned gray, and squatted down by the stream to wash it.

Wenren Jue was still a little weak. When he got off the carriage, his steps were unsteady, and he had to hold onto the carriage shaft to stand up.

He found a relatively flat rock by the stream and sat down, the morning breeze causing the stray hairs at his temples to flutter slightly.

Yun Shengsheng loved looking at handsome men. She walked over with a smile and handed Wenren Jue a pancake, a boiled egg, and a pot of water.

Wenren Jue thanked him and took it, but didn't eat a single bite.

Then he stood up, walked to the stream, and handed the pancakes, eggs, and water bottle to Yun Qiaoqiao.

"Qiaoqiao, you eat."

Yun Qiaoqiao stopped wringing the handkerchief.

She turned her head and looked Wenren Jue up and down with her spirited eyes.

This person has been acting strangely since earlier, offering me a handkerchief, a water bag, and now a pancake.

Her eyes were gentle and soft, like those of a stray cat she once owned.

She finally couldn't hold back any longer. She put the handkerchief on a rock by the stream, crossed her arms, and stared at him suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you being so nice to me?"
