She sat back down. Her heart was beating fast, but she didn't dare to say another word.

Yun Xiang saw the servant in black turn around and looked at the frightened Bi Meng. She couldn't help but exclaim: "You talk fast. You don't remember what you should say. You must cause trouble for the little miss!"

I, I didn't expect that person to be so fierce, wuu ~ I was so scared …" Bea whimpered softly.

As the two of them were speaking in a low voice, Gu Jinzhu sighed, "Forget it, our path now is unknown, so we should be cautious. Bi'er, you should be careful in the future."

Bi Feng hummed and didn't dare to speak again.

She didn't like to eat these sweet pastries. In the past, she had only prepared them for snacks on the road, so she gave the rest to the two girls. She only moistened her lips before putting the hot tea down.

The two of them saw that their young miss's appetite was not very good. Although they were anxious, there was nothing they could do. They could only hope that the journey would be a bit shorter so that they could rest in the inn as soon as possible.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Gu Yiqing still hadn't come back. According to the servant in black, San Ye went to the front to scout and see if there were any inns or restaurants nearby.

Gu Jinzhu looked at the endless grass and trees, and she unknowingly fell asleep again. But this time, Yi Qing wasn't in the car, so she was able to rest on the couch.

When she opened her eyes again, it was already dusk outside, and the inside of the car was also dark. Only the four pearls hanging from the corner of the car emitted a faint glow. She lifted her up as soon as she touched the incense, and the green woman came back with a glass of water.

Although she was extremely thirsty, she didn't dare to drink too much. In this barren mountain and wilderness, it was inconvenient to be anxious about something, not to mention the fact that there were two men she didn't know outside. So she chose to endure.

"What time is it now?" she asked.

"I don't know. The sky got dark earlier. It must have been during the tenth day." Yun Xiang asked softly, "Miss, do you need some pastries? However, San Ye said that they are almost there. "

Gu Jinzhu shook her head as she didn't expect it to be so late. She let the two girls roll up the curtain of the carriage.

The sky outside was extremely dark, and only the faint yellow light of the moon shone from the horizon. The mountains and trees seemed to have turned into countless monsters in the darkness, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they charged towards her.

She felt uneasy and a sense of fear rose up within her. Fortunately, she soon saw the person sitting on the horse beside her.

Under the faint moonlight, that person was riding a horse. His back was straight and he didn't look tired at all. He turned his head and smiled as he heard the sound. He pointed to the front and said, "We are almost there. Just bear with it."

The unease and fear she felt earlier disappeared without a trace as she blankly stared at him. She could only see the person in front of her, wearing black hair, the sleeves of her clothes swaying, and the faint moonlight shining on his clothes. It was as if there was a light flowing within them, causing his eyes to shine even brighter.

A poem suddenly appeared in her mind. A smile that could topple a city and a smile that could topple a country.

She didn't think that she would see such an extreme smile on a man's face.

Perhaps it was because it had just rained, but the fresh, moist fragrance of plants and vegetation all around gave one a refreshing feeling. Gu Jinzhu followed the direction that Gu Yiqing was pointing towards and saw that there were indeed twinkling lights. With their current speed, they should arrive in less than an hour.

She relaxed a little, and decided to just lean against the window and watch. However, her gaze fell most of the time, and that was still the third uncle who was excessively good-looking.

This feeling was unfamiliar to her. She had never been far away from home, let alone being with a stranger. Therefore, she felt nervous, but for some reason, when she looked at the straight figure in front of her, she felt at ease.

Perhaps it was simply because he was the only person in the Gu Estate who didn't leave a bad impression on her.

After walking for less than an hour, a large house appeared in the distance. Two red lanterns were hung in front of the house, swaying in the wind.

Before they could get close, the nearby corner door opened and a servant boy jumped out. When he saw Gu Yiqing coming over with a big smile on his face, he said in a friendly tone, "Master San, you've finally come. This little one has waited for too long …"

"I was delayed on the way." Gu Yiqing seemed to be relieved as well. She jumped off the horse and threw the reins over.

The servant immediately called a few men and led the horses into the backyard. Then, he carefully drove the carriage into the yard.

Without waiting for the car to stop, Bi Yao impatiently jumped down. She looked around first, then turned around and lifted the curtain, reaching out to help Gu Jinzhu get out of the car.

Since the sky was already dark, Yun Xiang didn't place any cages on the pearls. She helped Bi Yao's underlings out of the car, and saw a young servant staring blankly at her.

She glared at him and said angrily, "What are you looking at? And look at that dug out your eyeballs! "

The manservant shrank his neck and muttered, "Haven't I seen such an immortal girl before?" He lowered his voice and giggled at Gu Yiqing, "Master San, where did you find such a fierce girl …"

Bea immediately raised her eyebrows and glared at her with her almond-shaped eyes. Luckily, Yun Xiang pulled her back in time.

Gu Yiqing glanced at the servant and said lightly, "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare two of the best rooms!" He took a step forward and blocked Gu Jinzhu's path.

"Ugh …" It's already been prepared. Please come in. " The boy saw that the opportunity was fast, so he didn't dare to look around and went forward to lead the way.

Gu Jinzhu looked at the handsome figure in front of her and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Ever since she was a child, she had been taught extremely strict by her grandmother. Her every move followed the example of an aristocratic family's daughter, and she always wore fences on her way in and out, preventing strangers from seeing her face.

Being stared at by this young servant like that just now had indeed made her somewhat helpless. She didn't expect her Third Uncle to be so meticulous and calm, but he had already resolved her predicament.

The attendant brought them to the room upstairs. Although it was called the "best room", the furnishings inside were simple and crude. It was probably because of the cloudy weather, the bed and bedsheets had a cold and humid atmosphere.

Bea, still angry over what had just happened, could not help but pick out the four items in the room. Gu Jinzhu sat in the carriage for a day, leaning against the couch as she gently massaged her shoulder bones.

Gu Jinzhu felt her heart ache as she said, "You two should also rest for a while. You've been on the train for the entire day."

"Your servant is not tired. Your servant's body is much stronger than a girl's."
