Ye Ziyu's birthday soon arrived. In the past half month, Ye Ziyu had arranged the affairs of the two shops, and then bought some food for the journey. For Ye Ziyu, this was like a spring outing in ancient times.

"Ayu, this is the birthday gift that mom and dad prepared for you." Jiang Xu took out an exquisite jade pendant and handed it to Ye Ziyu.

"What a nice pattern on this jade pendant." Ye Ziyu took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. "Thank you, mother, thank you, father. I will carry it with me." After saying that, she tied the jade pendant to her clothes.

Then Ye Quanyong, Ye Jiaxuan and Ye Qingyin also took out the birthday gifts they had prepared for Ye Ziyu.

"Wow, they all look so good. Thank you, big brother, second brother and big sister. I'm welcome. Hehe." Ye Ziyu accepted all the gifts with a smile and handed them to Liqiu and Lixia.

"How are your preparations for the journey?"

"The preparations are almost done. Since the journey is long, I just prepared some basic things. If we need anything, we can just buy them on the way." Ye Ziyu said.

"That won't work. What we buy on the road will never be as good as what we have at home. Just take whatever we can." Jiang Xu said.

"Mother, it's better to travel light so that you can escape quickly if you encounter any trouble. Oh, don't worry about it. Be careful not to get two more wrinkles." Ye Ziyu said coquettishly.

"Something happened? What happened?" Jiang Xu asked nervously.

"I'm just giving an example, what's the big deal?" Ye Ziyu explained.

"Pah, pah, pah, these examples are not easy to give randomly."

"got it."

"Okay, it's getting late. Go back and rest. Get enough energy so you can set off tomorrow." Jiang Xu started to drive people away.

Ye Ziyu originally wanted to spend more time with Jiang Xu, but since Jiang Xu said so, Ye Ziyu did not stay any longer.

After everyone left, Jiang Xu secretly wiped away her tears.

"If you can't bear to leave your children, why don't you let them accompany you more? Why do you send them back?" Ye Zhengde noticed Jiang Xu crying, hugged Jiang Xu and gently wiped the tears from her face.

"How can I bear to let them go? It hasn't even been half a year since Ayu came back and she's already leaving. What's the point of keeping them with me for a while? They'll have to leave tomorrow anyway."

"Then why don't you agree to let Ayu go?" Ye Zhengde said.

"Did I agree at the beginning? It was you who said that Ayu really wanted to go and pay a visit to Brother Xie, and Ayu's eyes were shining, so how could I refuse?" Jiang Xu said angrily.

"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I should have rejected her and not said good things for her at that time." Ye Zhengde said with a smile.

"Still laughing, still laughing." Jiang Xu glared at Ye Zhengde.

"Okay, they are just going to pay a visit to Brother Xie and will be back soon." Ye Zhengde continued to coax Jiang Xu.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Xu got up early and asked the kitchen to prepare food, and then saw the two sisters off at the door.

After giving a few instructions, Ling Sichen arrived.

"Aunt." Ling Sichen bowed and greeted Jiang Xu. Since the two were engaged, Ye Qingyin and Ling Sichen addressed each other's parents in a more similar way. Even Ye Ziyu changed the way she addressed Ling Sichen from Mr. Ling to Brother Sichen.

"Achen, I'll trouble you to take good care of the two sisters on the road. You also have to pay attention to your own safety and don't rush to travel..." Jiang Xu continued to talk to Ling Sichen.

"Please rest assured, auntie. I will take good care of them both." Ling Sichen bowed respectfully.

"Okay, I won't delay your trip. Let's set off as soon as possible." Jiang Xu didn't talk to them anymore. Instead, he stepped back to the door and watched them get on the carriage and set off.

*

The carriage stopped when it reached the city gate.

"What happened?" Ye Ziyu asked. She remembered that the last time she entered and exited the city gate, it didn't seem to take that long.

Ye Qingyin opened the curtains and looked out. Ling Sichen rode his horse to the side of the car. "Ayin, wait a moment. Let's wait for Ah Xiu and Ah Heng to go together. They just happen to be going the same way, so they asked for a ride."

"Okay." Ye Qingyin said.

"What? Fang Jingxiu?" Ye Ziyu exclaimed.

"Why does it sound like Third Miss Ye is being wronged by me?" Fang Jingxiu happened to arrive here and heard Ye Ziyu say this.

Ye Ziyu felt like she was caught saying bad things about someone, and she lowered the curtain awkwardly.

"Ah Xiu, you are here, why are you still a step late?" Ling Sichen asked.

"The emperor summoned me to the palace this morning, which delayed us for some time. Let's go." Fang Jingxiu glanced out the car window and rode forward.

Ye Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sounds of the two horses getting farther and farther away.

"Why do I feel like you are a little afraid of Young Marquis Fang?" Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of him, I just didn't expect that he would show up just as I mentioned him. It's inevitable that I feel a little guilty, haha." Ye Ziyu smiled twice.

"You're the only one who still feels guilty." Ye Qingyin said with a smile.

"Oh, don't talk about me. Why haven't I heard Brother Si Chen say before that the two of them would go with us?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"I just found out about it too. Didn't Achen say that since we're going the same way, we should go together? This is good so we can take care of each other on the way." Ye Qingyin said.

"Okay, okay." Ye Ziyu said helplessly.

After meeting up with Fang Jingxiu and the others, the carriage still did not move.

There was a noise outside, "What happened again?" Ye Ziyu lifted the car curtain and got out.

"Hey, Ayu." Ye Qingyin tried to grab the corner of Ye Ziyu's clothes from behind but failed.

"Miss, why did you come out?" Li Qiu saw Ye Ziyu coming out of the carriage.

"What happened ahead? Why aren't we leaving yet?" Ye Ziyu felt very unhappy with this protracted schedule. She just liked to leave as soon as she was told to, even though everything was already ready.

"I don't know, it seems like Young Master Ling had an argument with someone." The angle of the carriage just blocked the person opposite Ling Sichen, so Li Qiu could only see Ling Sichen talking to someone with a bad expression.

"I'll go take a look." With the help of Li Qiu, Ye Ziyu got off the carriage and walked forward.

"Aqing?" Ye Ziyu walked closer and found that the person arguing with Ling Sichen was not someone else, but Ling Bingqing.

"Ayu." Ling Bingqing ran to Ye Ziyu and took Ye Ziyu's arm.

"Ling Bingqing, I told you that you can't go. You should go back home quickly. Do you hear me?" Ling Sichen said angrily.

"Why? You all can go, but why don't you take me? I won't go back. I've already escaped. Don't even think about it. I will never go back!"

"What's going on?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"I know my brother is going to Ayin's hometown with you, and brother Luoheng and brother Jingxiu are also going to Liangzhou, so you can go along. I want to go too, Ayu, I haven't been to other places, so take me with you this time, okay?" Ling Bingqing pulled Ye Ziyu's arm.

"How do you know they are going to Liangzhou?" Ling Sichen looked unhappy.

Ye Ziyu: So they were going to Liangzhou.

"I accidentally heard it that day..." Ling Bingqing's voice weakened.

Ye Ziyu saw that Ling Sichen had such a serious expression.

Ye Ziyu: This is amazing! It seems that this is a big deal. It was overheard but it has not been discovered yet! This is amazing.

Ye Ziyu looked at Ling Bingqing with an admiring expression.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Ling Bingqing felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ye Ziyu, so she approached Ye Ziyu and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing, I just admire you. But does your mother know that you ran away?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"I left a letter. According to the time, my mother should have known about it." Ling Bingqing said, "Yes, my mother should have known about it according to the time, but she didn't send anyone to find me. Doesn't that mean my mother also agrees with me going?"

Ling Bingqing looked at Ling Sichen in surprise, "Brother, look, mom has agreed to let me go, so you can take me with you."

Ling Sichen glanced in the direction of the city and indeed no one came to deliver the letter.

"Brother Sichen, just let Aqing come with you. This way, when you and my sister are developing a relationship, Aqing will be there to accompany me. Otherwise, I am so afraid of being alone..."

"Okay, follow me, but you have to listen to me along the way, otherwise I will send someone to send you back at any time." Ling Sichen said to Ling Bingqing.

"Promise to be good and obedient along the way." After Ling Bingqing said this, she pulled Ye Ziyu towards the carriage.

Ling Sichen rode to the front of the team.

"Tsk tsk tsk, didn't you firmly disagree to let Aqing follow you? How come some people change so quickly?" Qin Luoheng joked.

"You make it sound as if she won't follow me if I don't agree." Ling Sichen said. Based on Ling Sichen's understanding of Ling Bingqing, she would definitely follow me secretly if he really sent her back this time. So he might as well agree. Moreover, Ling Sichen felt that what Ye Ziyu said made sense. With Ling Bingqing accompanying Ye Ziyu, he could find an opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with Ye Qingyin.

Ling Sichen turned around to confirm that Ye Ziyu and Ling Bingqing were both on the carriage and said, "Let's go."
