In order to prevent the princess from finding them today, Jiang Mingwei did not forget to pick some more silver bead grass when she brought back the herbs.

When I came back, I laid some more at the entrance of the cave.

At this moment, there is another one next to her.

So he picked it up and showed it to Wei Jing for identification, and explained to him in detail the uses of this herb.

Wei Jing was very surprised to hear that this grass had miraculous effects on carnivores.

"There is such a strange herb in the world?"

"This world is so big that there are all kinds of things. Many of them are hard to explain. Don't worry about them."

Jiang Mingwei waved her hands, but finally heard Wei Jing mumbling.

"If that's the case, how did sister-in-law know the use of this grass?"

Jiang Mingwei was stunned.

Yeah, how did she know?

She turned her head and looked at Wei Jing. Under the glow of the fire, his dark eyes were deep, reflecting emotions that she couldn't see clearly.

Jiang Mingwei twitched the corners of her lips, unable to come up with an answer for a long time.

"The book... it's right, that's right, it ...

She spoke in a panic, but her eyes were erratic.

Wei Jing looked at the silver bead grass in his hand and whispered, "My sister-in-law seems to have a lot of common sense that I have never heard of before. I wonder which book she read it from. If I go back... can you lend it to me so that I can read it?"

Jiang Mingwei almost fainted...

Lend it to him for a reading? Where could she find this book?

Could it be possible to write an encyclopedia for Wei Jing on the spot?

This is really difficult for her!

But when she met Wei Jing's burning eyes, she didn't know how to refuse...

"Definitely next time?"

So she made up her tried-and-true excuse.

Seeing her nervous look, Wei Jing raised the corners of his mouth and there was a helpless smile in his eyes.

He stopped talking. The only sounds he could hear were the wolves howling outside the cave and the crackling of the fire inside.

The two of them were clearly sitting together, but they looked at each other without saying a word.

"My sister-in-law never seems to ask me about my brother. Aren't you curious?"

After a long time, Wei Jing couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Mingwei was slightly stunned, and it took her a long while before she realized that he was talking about Wei Zhi.

She hugged her knees and rested her chin on them. The firelight illuminated her pretty face, making her look even more beautiful and charming.

"I have only met your brother two or three times. The longest time was when he got married. He left in a hurry and I haven't heard from him since."

"You returned victoriously, but brought the news of his death and his wife and children away. How can I miss him?"

She was not afraid to tell Wei Jing these words.

I'm afraid that any woman would no longer have any hope for this man after experiencing this, and she is no exception.

Wei Jing's Adam's apple rolled, and he really wanted to argue for his brother, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't know where to start.

He didn't know when his brother and Lu Yun fell in love with each other, and then they even lived together.

Everyone knew they were a couple.

He also asked his brother why he did this?

His family had just found him a new wife, and now he had another home at the border. Was this really appropriate?

But his elder brother, who had always been respected by him and was a humble gentleman, actually smiled and said that he didn't understand.

He had no feelings for Jiang Mingwei, he just married Jiang Mingwei's daughter because he was chosen by Prime Minister Jiang.

In this case, it would be best if the two of them treated each other with respect and equality.

It’s a pity that he didn’t even leave this possibility for Jiang Mingwei.

Wei Jing didn't know whether his brother really liked Lu Yun, but he knew that at least he didn't have any feelings for Jiang Mingwei.

In this case, Jiang Mingwei's reaction was indeed expected...

Before I knew it, the night was getting deeper.

Accustomed to the howling of wolves outside, Jiang Mingwei felt extremely sleepy.

Before long, she couldn't help falling asleep.

Wei Jing only felt a weight on his shoulder. When he turned around, he found that Jiang Mingwei had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

The firelight reflected the turbulent emotions in her eyes. He quietly moved closer to Jiang Mingwei so that she could sleep more comfortably...

The night flies by.

The next morning, after another night of not catching anything, the wolves howled in anger and went away.

Jiang Mingwei woke up slowly. Wei Jing put out the fire and stood at the entrance of the cave looking outside.

Still no one came. Although he had excellent hearing, he could not hear anyone entering within dozens of miles.

I'm afraid they will have to find a way out themselves.

Turning her head and looking at Jiang Mingwei, she understood.

She sighed, patted her skirt which was already covered in mud, stood up and followed Wei Jing out.

The two came to the stream to clean up, and Jiang Mingwei identified several edible fruits.

After a quick meal, they continued on their way.

After walking for nearly half an hour, Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, do you really... know the way?"

Seeing Wei Jing pause slightly, Jiang Mingwei felt a chill in her heart.

Soon, he confirmed, "We are going to the downstream of the water source. There should be a road. Don't worry."

Can you not worry?

She was so worried!

Why did Jiang Mingwei feel like Wei Jing was deceiving her?

After walking for an unknown amount of time, just as Jiang Mingwei began to suspect that Wei Jing had taken her the wrong way, she suddenly heard a voice calling from far away -

"Madam Wei, General Wei!"

The two stopped immediately.

Until she heard someone calling them again, Jiang Mingwei immediately clasped her hands together and responded loudly.

"Here we are!"

The people over there obviously heard them as well, so they shouted to each other and finally approached each other.

They thought that the two would be either dead or disabled, but they didn't expect them to be standing in front of them alive.

Wei Jing was more seriously injured, while Jiang Mingwei only had minor scratches.

Everyone looked up at the abyss above their heads and couldn't help but wonder... Did they really fall from above?

Could it be that I saw a ghost?

"Big brother, please take us away from this damn place quickly. There are wolves here!"

Now that she had found the Grand Princess's attendant, Jiang Mingwei didn't want to stay any longer and immediately asked.

The guards looked at the two men carefully and saw that they still had pale faces, so they must be human!

He immediately took the two of them away from there.

It wasn't until she got on the carriage that Jiang Mingwei couldn't help but sigh at the soft cushions. It's so good to be alive...

The carriage swayed all the way and brought the two to the inconspicuous back door of the princess's mansion.

When she got off the car and found that it was the back door, Jiang Mingwei looked puzzled.

The guard beside him quickly explained: "Please go in first, Her Royal Highness the Princess will explain it to you."

Wei Jing thanked him in a low voice and walked in with Jiang Mingwei.

The news that they had been found had already been passed on to the princess's mansion, where servants were waiting.

When I saw them come back, I immediately took them to take a bath and change clothes.

On the way, Wei Jing explained in a low voice: "My disappearance with my sister-in-law is bound to cause gossip. The eldest princess must have thought of this, so she deliberately concealed our whereabouts, so we had to enter through the back door."

Jiang Mingwei nodded in understanding.

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Princess."

Wei Jing stared at her with dark eyes. If Jiang Mingwei had not made friends with the Grand Princess first, how could she have such a good fortune today?

After all, it was just the reward for her kindness to others.

The two were taken into different yards.

Jiang Mingwei had just taken off her clothes when the door was suddenly pushed open——
