It was a rare good meal, so Sen Ying and Xiao Wei were very excited. They chattered all the way. After praising the young master and the food and wine, Yu Xin hummed "Cang Hai Yi Xiao" all the way while driving the carriage.

Tu Shanjing and I remained silent, each with our own concerns. I guess his concern was because Fang Fengbei suddenly appeared, and he was wondering if there was any threat to his delivery. I wanted to tell him not to worry, but I was afraid that I couldn't explain why I knew Xiangliu was Fang Fengbei. Thinking that even if he knew about this, it wouldn't delay anything, the goods would still be delivered, and Xiangliu would still receive them, so I decided to wait and see. In addition to these things, I also had a faint panic in my chest, and I couldn't tell why. I didn't know if it was because the autumn wind made me lonely and gave me a sad feeling of "we will part eventually", or because I had been running around outside and was a little tired, and I missed the quiet nights and golden osmanthus in the mansion.

We walked to the inn in silence, each with our own thoughts. Xiaowei hopped and hopped, carrying the packed food to Ruiyang and Xiaohui, while Yuxin went to deliver a midnight snack to You. Tu Shanjing said hello and retreated to his room, not having time to say a few words to me. Senying was left alone to accompany me back to the room. Before she even entered the room, she took my hand and asked, "Miss, why are you so silent on the way back? Are you tired?"

I couldn't bear to make her worry, nor did I want to tell her what was on my mind, so I forced a smile and said, "I am a little tired. Mainly because I didn't expect to run into Second Young Master Fangfeng, and I was afraid I would be exposed."

Sen Ying agreed, "Of course! That Mr. Fang Feng questioned me so much! I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat. Fortunately, you and the young master cooperated well, and he didn't catch any flaws. You've been tired enough this night, so clean up and go to bed early."

I patted her hands and said, "You've worked harder. You've been busy all along the way, doing the laundry and combing the hair for the young master. I'm a lady, so sometimes I can't do it in public, and sometimes I can't do it behind the scenes. It's all thanks to you."

Sen Ying smiled and said, "Sen Ying is where she is today, all thanks to your kind words. Otherwise, I would still be in the small kitchen, doing rough work every day! Please don't be polite, young lady, and rest early, so that we can feel at ease after we deliver the goods."

After saying that, she smiled and turned back to her room.

I thought so too, so I forced myself not to think about those things, suppressed my thoughts, washed up quickly, and went to sleep when Xiaowei came back.

The next morning, Tu Shanjing had breakfast in his room and called me to his room. I was curious why he didn't come downstairs to eat with us, and when I entered the room, I found that the big pumpkins in the car were placed in his room.

When he saw me come in, he said seriously, "I will go deliver these pumpkins later. I will take Yu Xin and You with me. You stay in the store and watch over the remaining carriage until we come back."

I was a little nervous: "We're going now? But in advance?"

He replied, "We were originally scheduled to do it this afternoon, but I was afraid that things would get complicated if we waited too long, so I sent the pumpkin to another safe place first, and then sent the rest to the original location. This way, the risk is less."

I nodded: "That's good, so I don't have to wait anxiously."

He also nodded and said, "Rui Yang has his arm in a sling, so it's not good for him to sit in the carriage to watch over him, as this would expose his weakness. I plan to turn you into his appearance, so you just need to sit in the driving position like he usually does. Don't worry, I'll let Sen Ying sit in the carriage, she will be able to use her spiritual power to some extent, so don't be afraid."

I smiled and said, "I understand. I am the stone lion that protects the house. I will not move but I cannot be without it! Don't worry, except for the thieves who came to inquire when we first set out, no one else has the idea of ​​robbing our broken carriage, let alone in the city of Chenyi."

He also smiled, and his expression, which had been solemn since last night, finally relaxed a little: "After today, we can do whatever we want. Then we will give your stone lion a big red silk flower to wear."

I turned my head away and said, "I don't want it! You'd better get me a pair of pearl earrings. The one I got yesterday fell into the water. I guess it won't be a good luck after a long time."

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." After that, he turned his fingers, and a light blue light flashed slightly at his fingertips. Then he tapped his fingers lightly, and the light came on me.

I didn't feel anything, I looked down at myself, and found that my clothes had changed into Ruiyang's dark grey cloth. I raised my hand and found that my fingers had become thick and long, and the skin was rough, just like a man's hand.

"Go ahead, Senying is waiting for you in the car. Here's the robe for you, be careful not to catch a cold." Tu Shanjing handed me the robe he wore last night. The familiar fragrance entered my nose again, making me feel inexplicably at ease.

"Then I'll go right away. Be careful on your journey, sir." My voice became exactly the same as Ruiyang's.

"Okay." He responded.

If I wasn't afraid that Senying would wait too long, I really wanted to find a mirror to look at my face. I hurried to the carriage in the backyard, and I saw that the second, slightly larger carriage that You usually rode in was gone. Only the first carriage that usually pulled us was left, and the thinner chestnut horse was harnessed to it. When it saw me coming, it snorted affectionately.

I stroked its mane and said with a smile, "Little guy, can you recognize me?"

It rubbed my hand and breathed heavily through its nose.

I stroked its neck and said, "Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, did they leave you at home because you are too thin? That's good, it's fun to have some free time~"

It wagged its tail and chopped its hind legs.

"Auntie - is that you? Come up quickly. Although it is thin, it has a stubborn temper! That day, Ruiyang said it was weak, so it hit Ruiyang with its horse's tail!" Senying lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to me.

"It's me, it's me! What do you think? Do I look a bit like Ruiyang?" I asked her, touching my chin.

"Let me see!" Xiaowei actually stuck her head out of the car and looked at me carefully.

"Xiao Wei?! Why are you here too?!"

"The girls are not in the room. Ruiyang has a little fever and Xiaohui has to take care of him. There is no one to play with me, so I just came to join in the fun! You know what, from the look to the voice, he is exactly like Ruiyang!" Xiaowei said in surprise with her eyes wide open.

"Then why don't you take a look at who cast the spell?! Our young master's transformation technique is top-notch. Not only can he do it for himself, but also for others!" Sen Ying said to Xiao Wei with raised eyebrows.

"That's great, you can become anyone you want!" I thought to myself, if I learn this in the arts, I won't need plastic surgery anymore!

After chatting for nearly an hour, Sen Ying said she was still hungover and the alcohol was taking its toll, so she went to sleep in the car. Xiao Wei didn't want to disturb her by talking, so she just slept with her.

They both fell asleep, and I felt bored again. My eyelids felt heavy and I became drowsy.

I don’t know how long it was before I was awakened by Xiaohong’s snorting. I rubbed my eyes and looked at it, only to see that it looked uneasy.
