Xin Shang thought that when Wei Shuxuan asked him like that, she wanted to see the letter sent to him by Xin Zizhao. Unexpectedly, she just asked and then said nothing more and told him to go back to his room to rest.
"I'm so sleepy and tired. I have to go back quickly, take a shower and go to bed," Wei Shuxuan yawned widely, then turned to look at Xin Shang and Xin Shi who were still standing there, looking sleepy. "Aren't you two going to sleep yet? By the way, Xin Shang, should we book another guest - room for your brother? Are you two going to sleep together tonight?"
"I'll talk to the waiter later. Please don't worry, Miss Xuan. After arranging my brother, we'll go back to our room to rest."
"Okay, good night."
The noise in the inn only lasted until midnight and then stopped. The four of them, including Wei Shuxuan, had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, the first one to get up was Si Ma Yongheng. He first woke up Wei Wei. "Brother Wei, good morning. Shouldn't we set off for the capital?"
Wei Wei went to bed the latest last night. He woke up as soon as he heard Si Ma Yongheng's voice. He sat up and looked at Si Ma Yongheng beside him. His voice was hoarse and sexy just after waking up. "Why did you get up so early?"
"Didn't Sister Xuan say last night that we should get up early to travel? So I got up early! Moreover, Brother Wei, didn't you say you would teach me martial arts?" Si Ma Yongheng looked full of energy.
Wei Wei got out of bed and put on his clothes while saying to Si Ma Yongheng, "Even if the young lady said we should set off early tomorrow, you don't need to get up so early. The young lady definitely won't get up so early. It's not even dawn yet. The young lady would never get up at this time."
Having served Wei Shuxuan for some time, how could Wei Wei not know his young lady's personality?
"I see," Si Ma Yongheng thought for a while. "Brother Wei, how about we go to the yard to practice martial arts?"
"That's the only way to kill time," Wei Wei said helplessly. Since he had been woken up by Si Ma Yongheng, how could he go back to sleep?
When Wei Shuxuan really woke up, it was almost noon. Si Ma Yongheng knocked on the door outside her room. "Sister Xuan, haven't you woken up yet? It's time for us to set off. Otherwise, we definitely won't be able to reach Quan'an Town to stay before it gets dark."
Quan'an Town? Wei Shuxuan didn't expect that the next town after Jijing Town would be Quan'an Town. She and Xin Zizhao had stayed there for quite some time while investigating a case and had left many memories there.
"I know! Wait for me a moment! I'll pack up quickly and set off!" Wei Shuxuan threw off the quilt on her body, quickly washed up, changed her clothes, picked up her bag and left the inn.
The noon sun was extremely bright, but with the cool breeze, it wasn't very hot. Wei Shuxuan got on the carriage with the snacks packed from the inn.
The black - clothed man Xin Shi, who came to the inn last night, rode a horse beside the carriage. Xin Shang told Xin Shi to protect Wei Shuxuan first in case of danger.
Wei Wei looked at Xin Shang with a solemn expression and casually asked him, "What are you thinking about? You seem to be in a bad mood."
Xin Shang didn't answer Wei Wei's question.
"Is it because of the letter from Mr. Xin last night?" Having been with Wei Shuxuan for a while, Wei Wei had learned a thing or two about observing people's expressions. When he mentioned the letter from Mr. Xin, there was an obvious change in Xin Shang's expression.
Wei Wei thought Xin Shang wouldn't answer his question, but unexpectedly, he answered the next second, "Yes, it's because of my master's letter."
Wei Wei was surprised and turned to look at Xin Shang, who answered honestly. But Xin Shang just looked into the distance, his thoughts going back to last night...
Xin Shang took Xin Shi back to their room. He asked Xin Shi to sit aside and then opened the letter Xin Shi had just given him. "Xin Shang, why didn't you report to me about the young man named Si Ma Yongheng beside Xuan'er? Xuan'er wrote to me saying that she would take Si Ma Yongheng back to the palace. Go and investigate Si Ma Yongheng's identity quickly to see if he is a threat to Xuan'er."
Actually, Xin Shang thought Wei Shuxuan wouldn't take Si Ma Yongheng back to the capital. He thought she would send him back to his hometown after finding it. However, he didn't know what Si Ma Yongheng had said to Miss Xuan that made her decide to take him back to the palace.
"Sister Xuan, are you... a daughter from a wealthy family?" Si Ma Yongheng asked curiously.
Wei Shuxuan thought for a while. She was the daughter of a great general and the wife of the current emperor of Yulong Country. She should be considered from a wealthy family, right?
"Sort of. Why do you ask?" Wei Shuxuan looked at Si Ma Yongheng, who looked hesitant.
"At that time, why did you step forward to save me, a dirty and poor beggar?"
"It's nothing. Isn't it normal to help others when they are in trouble?" Wei Shuxuan smiled and reached out to touch Si Ma Yongheng's head. She understood the trouble in the young man's heart. "Although your background is not good, if you look down on yourself, no one will respect you."
Seeing Si Ma Yongheng bow his head in silence, Wei Shuxuan patted his shoulder. "Come on. Anyway, I won't look down on you. But on the contrary, you should be self - motivated. Stop talking nonsense. Let's have some snacks."
Fortunately, when they left Jijing Town, Wei Wei bought another horse at the stable to pull the carriage, which made their journey faster. They finally arrived at Quan'an Town before it got completely dark.
Wei Shuxuan got off the carriage. In less than a year, Quan'an Town hadn't changed much from the first time she came here. Moreover, after seeing the streets of Jijing Town at night, when they saw the night market in Quan'an Town again, they always felt a sense of nostalgia because the night market in the capital was also very famous.
"Miss, can we stay in this inn tonight?" Wei Wei pointed to one of the inns they passed by.
Following the direction Wei Wei pointed, Wei Shuxuan looked up and saw the inn Wei Wei was talking about. "Xiangcha Inn? It looks good. Let's stay here."
Wei Wei had no opinion on where to stay. However, she wanted to stroll around the night market tonight and relive the good times when she first came to Quan'an Town with Xin Zizhao.
