At night, the group finally arrived at the inn and was able to have a good rest.
Xue Muyun lay paralyzed on the bed, completely motionless. He was extremely tired.
After a night of rest, Xue Lian's spirit gradually recovered. During the next few days of travel, the weather was not that hot. Occasionally, there would be rain and the air would be especially clear.
After these few days of bumpiness, Xue Lian slowly adapted to the whole car ride. After adapting to the environment, her spirit also became better and she no longer had diarrhea.
However, once her spirit improved, she would once again become a demon. In the past few days, the Zhao Family's Xue Shaoli and company had gradually gotten used to the journey and their spirits had improved.
Xue Shaoli thought back to the hatred between her and Xue Ruoyun, and thought that she was the one who stole her crown prince, Mu Zhuoyun. On that day, she was extremely thirsty and her life was hanging by a thread, yet she humiliated herself like that. When Xue Lian thought of this, his teeth started to itch with hatred.
"I must give Xue Ruyun some pain." Xue Shaoli thought, looking for an opportunity.
They travelled day and night for several days. The place was remote and the road was difficult to traverse. The carriage they bought was also damaged. The wheels creaked as they moved.
For the sake of preventing any accidents, Xue Duan Sheng and the others could only find a place to rest and send servants to buy two new carriages.
"Have you bought all the carriages?" The Xue Family was eating downstairs when a servant came to report.
"Master, the carriage is ready. We will arrive tomorrow."
"Alright." Xue Duan Sheng agreed to continue eating, and Xue Shaoli listened to what Duan Ling Tian said in his heart.
At night, Xue Lian painting quietly went to Xue Lian's painting room. Xue Lian painting was combing his hair, and just as he was about to sleep, he heard Xue Shaoli knock on the door.
The journey was long, and Xue Shaoli was bored. She had been looking for something to pass the time. If she could see that Xue Lian was fighting with Xue Lao Yun all the way, then it would be extremely exciting.
Furthermore, the reason why he had fallen to this stage was also because of Xue Ruoyun. In his heart, Xue Lian's painting hated Xue Ruoyun to the extreme. Knowing that the Emperor had set a rule to protect Xue Ruyun, someone in the group must have been secretly protecting her. He didn't want to cause a fire or burn his body. These days, he had heard that Xue Lian had threatened to deal with Xue Ruyun, and he had taken advantage of the opportunity Xue Lian had created to teach him a lesson.
As such, when Xue Shaoli heard about the carriage from the manservant this afternoon, she had an idea.
"Elder sister, what are you doing here so late?" Xue Lian asked doubtfully.
"A few days ago, little sister's health was not good. As for how much trouble that Xue Moyan is making, even I can't stand watching him do it." I am relieved to see that my sister is doing so well today. " Xue Shaoli pretended to care and was full of affection.
"Thank you for your concern, sister. We are sisters, after all." Xue Lian said emotionally.
"Now, didn't she want to teach Xue Luoyun a lesson? Right now, there is a chance to humiliate her. Xue Shaoli immediately explained the purpose of her visit.
"Oh, what opportunity?" Xue Lian put down the comb and asked doubtfully.
"Before, it was all us three who rode in the same carriage, father and mother in the same carriage, and the servants moving about on foot."
"That's right." Xue Shiqin didn't understand what Xue Shaoli was going to say.
"I heard that the newly bought carriage seems to be rather small …" When Xue Shaoli said this, she glanced at Xue Lian's painting.
When Xue Lian heard her words and saw that she had purposely said a small word, she immediately came to her senses.
"That's right, we have a lot of luggage. Unlike before, this new carriage might not be able to hold her once it is loaded with our luggage." When Xue Lian heard this, she laughed. As expected, she understood what she meant.
"Big Sister has such a good plan. Tomorrow we will see how I will humiliate her. " Xue Lian was complacent and his eyes were filled with viciousness.
The two chatted for a while longer before Xue Shaori returned to his room.
The newly rented horse carriage stopped downstairs the next day. Xue Muyun and Yun Zhi got out of bed as usual, washed, cleaned up, and carried their things downstairs. They were about to take a horse carriage.
The two of them walked to the door and saw that there were only two carriages left. Xue Duan Sheng and the Zhao Clan were already on the first carriage, and they didn't think twice before walking towards the second carriage.
From afar, he could see Xue Lian's maid and Xue Shaoli's maid were already standing by the side of the carriage, waiting.
"Eh, is the sun rising in the west yet? Why are they up so early today?" Xue Ruyun was puzzled. Usually, these two would be very slow. They would have to invite them several times over before they could slow down. How could they be so early today?
Xue Luoyun didn't care that much. He arrived next to the carriage, lifted up his skirt, and prepared to step onto the ladder into the carriage.
Who would have thought that before she could get halfway up the carriage, she would be pushed down by the two sisters, Xue Lian and Xue Shaoli, who were in the carriage. Xue Ruyun's center of gravity suddenly became unstable. He stepped on the corner of his skirt, then sat down on the ground.
The two sisters in the carriage saw Xue Luoyun fall to the ground, laughing so hard that they almost fell over.
"Aiya, sister, why are you so careless in walking? Perhaps it's because you have a new carriage, so you're not used to it." Xue Shaoli covered her mouth and laughed, pretending to be concerned.
"Miss, are you alright?" Yun Zhi quickly threw down her things and came over to help Xue Luoyun up.
Xue Ruyun stood up and angrily glared at them. She patted the dust on her skirt, and tightly gripped her treasured sword. She really wanted to go in right now, and bring them out to beat them up.
However, everyone was watching now. If they were to forcefully take action, they would definitely attract the criticism of others, and it would hit right into the heart of Xue Lian, who was pretending to be pitiful.
Xue Ruyun looked at them, then temporarily let the two of them go. He would pay his debt in the future.
"Sister, I am really sorry. But, sister and I have already sat in this carriage. This new carriage is too small and it really can't hold one of you. Look, why don't you sit in another carriage? Ahh?" Xue Lian lifted the curtain of the carriage and spoke to Xue Luoyun, who was still standing at the side.
"That's right, sister. Just listen to your third sister." "Oh right, Father, Mother's carriage has already left. If you want to sit, you can only sit in the third carriage." Xue Shaoli asked with a fake smile on her snow-white face.
The two of them then lowered the curtain and ordered the coachman, "Let's go." Then he left.
From inside the car, they heard the two of them laughing coquettishly.
Xue Ruyun glanced at the distant carriage. She knew that now wasn't the time to quarrel with them, so she might as well endure for now.
Xue Ruyun picked up the luggage that had fallen to the side and patted off the dust on it. He turned his head to look at the old and broken carriage that he had used earlier.
"Let's take this one." Xue Ruyun pointed at the old and worn-out carriage.
"Miss, this carriage is dilapidated. I'm worried that it won't be safe for you to ride on it." Yun Zhi whispered, worriedly looking at Xue Muyun.
"How can the second young miss and the others do that? The lord won't say anything." Yun Zhi was so angry that she began to cry, feeling indignant for Xue Muyun.
Xue Ruyun circled around the car and carefully examined it. He didn't find anything amiss.
"Alright, it's nothing much. To be honest, I was very annoyed with the two of them. Sitting in the same car was filled with the smell of smoke, and I couldn't wait to see the scene before me. Right now, the carriage was only slightly damaged from the wheels, so it shouldn't be a problem. Let's go in. " As Xue Ruyun spoke, he sat down inside.
She waited for a while, but didn't see Yun Zhi come in. She lifted the curtain and saw that Yun Zhi was waiting with her luggage on her back.
"Come on up, what are you standing there for?" Xue Luoyun asked.
"This servant can only serve by the side, how can I work together with Miss?"
"Aiya, it was because the carriage was crowded that I let you leave. Now that the carriage is so wide, why are you still walking down? "Hurry up and come up." Xue Luoyun ordered.
Yun Zhi hesitated for a long time before slowly sitting down in a corner.
"I am merely sitting in the same carriage as you all. There is no need for you all to be this afraid and fearful. Just take me as your elder sister." Xue Luoyun casually put his hand on Yun Zhi's shoulder.
It had been difficult the whole way because of Yun Zhi's loyal care for her. She had long treated this little girl as her own sister.
"But Miss, this servant is just a servant …" On the carriage, Yun Zhi's eyes were red, she was very touched.
In her opinion, it was only right for a servant to take care of her, but the Miss never treated her as a servant. Instead, she treated her like a friend. Because of this, the Xue Manor dismissed their servants. Mrs Zhao initially didn't want to keep the maidservants for Xue Ruyun, but because Yun Zhi couldn't bear to leave the Miss, she begged Mrs Zhao to take care of her, even if she had to pay a silver tael.
"What a cheap bone." At that time, Mrs Zhao rolled her eyes, helpless. Now that she heard Xue Ruyun say this, Yun Zhi felt that it was worth it.
In her heart, Miss was the only kind person in the mansion. Not only was he kind-hearted, he was also amiable. No matter if it was to himself or to the servants of his residence, he would never beat or curse them. The only time he had scolded the despicable servant, Hong Xiu, was to avenge himself. As Yun Zhi thought of this, her eyes reddened.
"It's okay, I didn't say anything. What's wrong with you? Your eyes are already red." Xue Ruyun pinched Yun Zhi's little face.
"Come here, I still have something for you to do …"
"Miss, if anything happens, this servant will not refuse even if I die." Yun Zhi was so excited that she stood up and nearly hit her head.
"I want you to sing to me, or the whole journey will be boring …" Xue Ruyun said with a face full of smiles.
"Ah, miss wants me to do this." Yun Zhi was surprised. The young miss was previously wronged by that second young miss, but now she wasn't angry and still wanted to listen to music. That was magnanimous of her. Yun Zhi sighed in her heart.
"You think I'm going to be mad? Isn't that letting some people succeed? Let's show them our happiness and anger them to death. " Xue Ruyun never cared about anything that bothered her. For the sake of not making people angry, she would not do that sort of thing. It was simply too much of a loss.
"Alright!" After hearing what Xue Ruyun had said, Yun Zhi's heart suddenly opened up. She cleared her throat and began to sing.
Although Xue Muyun's carriage was old and worn, the carriage was big, and it moved very quickly.
