"We shouldn't tell her our identities for now." Ye Jinsu slightly lowered his head and said. Their future was still unknown, if the final result was good, then they could come and take little Rong'er to play in the capital.
However, if the end result was not good, the people who were related to them would be implicated.
Ning Yunyin nodded.
"Then I'll go and talk to Uncle Rong." Ye Jinsu smiled lightly and turned around to walk back into the house.
Uncle Rong was sitting in the front yard, gloomily tapping his pipe. He looked depressed as he thought about what he should do. Xiao Rong'er shut herself in her room and sulked. No matter how Xu Lianshan coaxed her, she couldn't coax her.
It was supposed to be a lucky day, but it ended up like this.
"I'm sorry to interrupt the good day for little Rong to return home." Ye Jinsu, who was standing at the side, said apologetically.
The father quickly regained his senses and looked at Ye Jinxiu. He immediately stood up nervously and spoke, "No …. No, how can I blame you … It's because little Rong'er is too insensible. "
Seeing her father's nervous reaction, Ye Jinxiu couldn't help but sigh. She opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She just sat down and said, "Don't let others know our identities."
Ye Jinsu's voice was serious, causing her father to be stunned. He didn't dare to let his guard down.
"Alright."
"Little Rong'er is the same, don't tell her our identities."
Father Rong took a long drag from his pipe and said hoarsely, "Alright."
"We will leave tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of us these days." They had left to be kind to their father, otherwise he would be so nervous all the time. Before long, no matter how healthy his father's body was, he would still be tortured to the point of illness.
Ye Jinsu looked a little lonely.
The father looked at Ye Jinsu in a daze. Only after a long while did he finally understand what she meant. He opened and closed his mouth, but in the end, only his eyes reddened. He looked at Ye Jinsu with a slightly moved expression.
"Good, good!" "Then I'll go and prepare some things for you guys. Bring them along with you when you're on your way to make rations …" As he said that, he wiped the corners of his eyes and walked into the kitchen.
Ye Jinsu looked at her father's back and felt as if her heart had been squeezed in half by someone, causing her to be unable to catch her breath.
Xiao Rong'er was still fuming inside the room. When she stepped out of the door, she saw that her father was preparing dried meat for Ye Jinsu. She was so angry that she almost threw all these things at him. In the end, Xiao Rong'er could only squat down in dejection, and speak with grievance: "Are you really leaving?"
"Really." Ye Jinsu reached out her hand to caress her head and said.
"Just like that! Shall we go tomorrow? "
"Sorry …"
Xiao Rong'er angrily flung Ye Jinsu's hand away, turned around and angrily hammered Xu Lianjing a few times. In the end, Xiao Rong'er could only sniff and dejectedly sit down.
No matter how much she didn't want to, she couldn't tie someone up at home. There was nothing she could do.
While thinking, she took out a tassel from her bosom and handed it to Ye Jinsu.
"This... This is something that I learned from his mom. I only made one and it's for you. " Xiao Rong'er's hoarse voice sounded like she was crying. She had originally wanted to leave it for Xu Lianchai, but she would be able to make it later.
It was a very simple stud. It could be seen at a glance that it was made by a beginner. It was very rough, and the thread was crooked. Even the cheapest stud in the market is better than this.
However, Ye Jinsu smiled as she looked at this tassel, and then extended her hand to receive it. "Thank you. I will bring it with me."
Xiao Rong'er sniffed with her nose and continued, "These are the remaining red strings from my wedding with Brother Qiang. They are all filled with joy."
"Since you guys have returned to the capital, I won't be able to attend the wedding. Consider this my wedding gift to you!" Ye Jinshu gave her a huge price to make her a wedding dress, so she couldn't ask for his things for nothing.
Although this item wasn't worth much, it was still a festive item. Presumably, Ye Jinxiu also wouldn't mind.
After saying that, Xiao Rong'er felt a little sad. She choked with sobs and said, "You all have returned to the capital to live a good life. You must remember to come back and visit us."
Even though she knew that she was far away from the capital, and that Ye Jinsu would not have a chance to come back if she went back. It was because of this that she wanted Ye Jinsu to stay.
She would probably not see Ye Jinsu again in the future. Thinking about it made her feel even worse.
Ye Jinsu looked at Xiao Rong'er, who was crying, and felt that she was infected. Her eyes started to turn red. She stretched out her hand to tie the tassel to her waist and solemnly said, "I will be back. I will come back to take you to the capital to play."
Ye Jinsu's tone was very firm, as if she was making a promise.
Ning Yunyin glanced at her from the side, slightly moved.
"Really?"
"It's true!" Ye Jinsu said seriously.
Right now, the capital was a dead water that was about to boil. If they went back, they would stir up the dead water. As for themselves, were they drowned by this pool of stagnant water or were they trying to carve a path of blood out of it?
No one knew what the final outcome would be.
However, Ye Jinsu was determined to ensure that she would return.
They would reappear in a new identity and bring little Rong'er to visit this land that belonged to them.
Ning Yunxiao stood by her side, quietly watching her. He extended his hand and silently held her hand.
The night passed by extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, the night passed.
Ye Jinxiu and Ning Yunbin had left with a very low profile. In fact, Xiao Rong had wanted to stay overnight to send Ye Jinxiu off in the morning, but Ye Jinxiu had refused. She only brought some jerky from her father and steamed buns from the night before, and left with Lingshuang.
In the morning light.
At that time, a red sun was rising in the horizon. It was a rare red fire sunrise in winter. Ye Jinsu and Ning Yunke sat on horseback, looking at the blood-red patch on the distant mountain treetop. At the same time, their gazes met.
They were still standing together.
"Do you regret it?" Ning Yun held onto the reins and whispered into Ye Jinsu's ear.
Ye Jinxiu smiled and held his hand, saying each word, "I have nothing to regret standing with you."
A loud sound of horse hooves could be heard, covering the heartbeats of the people behind them.
The forest was full of thorns in the distance, but they would still tread it together.
When they returned to the town, the sun had already risen. The three people who were leading the way brought Ye Jinsu to a courtyard. All of them had been sent by the Grand Princess, a total of twenty of them. Each one of them was a hundred experts at the Grand Princess's side.
Among them, the one leading the group, Ning Yunyin recognized, was one of the Grand Princess' capable warriors — Zhu Qiao.
The Grand Princess had quite a number of capable people by her side, but she was different from those who were active in front of the Imperial Court. Zhu Qiao had always been supporting the Grand Princess from the shadows. Even so, after so many years, his position by the Grand Princess's side was already the same as that of a personal bodyguard.
For such an important person to be sent so far away, the Grand Princess must have gone mad with anxiety.
Ning Yun lowered her gaze and looked at the people in the courtyard. Zhu Qiao was currently leading a group of people to kneel down and pay their respects. Dozens of powerful voices sounded out, "Welcome, your Highness, your Majesty!"
Ye Jinsu jumped in shock and quickly turned her head to look at her surroundings. The voices of dozens of people could not be considered low. With such a loud commotion, no one else could hear.
Besides, I'm not going back to the capital, is there a need to be so grand?
Unbeknownst to them, the few of them had been living a life of constant anxiety. While the Grand Princess was in the capital, she had been sending more and more letters to them day after day. If they still couldn't find Ning Yunyin, dozens of people would probably die to atone for their actions.
Now that they had found Ning Yunyin, they were so relieved that they were about to cry. Naturally, they were extremely excited.
