The next day, the weather was fine, with light clouds and breeze. The warm sunlight shone on people, making them drowsy. The flowers and willows were in full bloom everywhere, which was very beautiful. It was indeed very suitable for a trip.

Yu Qingli and Xiluo packed up and prepared to go to Jinxiu Villa. Before that, Murong Feng had already sent someone to the Bai family to deliver an invitation, explaining that Yu Qingli and Xiluo were going there. The Bai family seemed very happy and even sent a carriage to greet them.

The carriage stopped outside the prince's mansion. When Yu Qingli went out, she saw two tall horses with pure white fur without a trace of impurities. The carriage was also decorated very delicately and beautifully. The hollow window frames were very breathable. The curtains in front of the carriage were also different from those of ordinary carriages. They used bead curtains.

Seeing Yu Qingli and the others coming out, the coachman hurried forward and half-knelt on the ground, letting them step on his back to get into the car. Even Murong Feng had never enjoyed such an honor, which shows that the Bai family really put a lot of thought into this matter.

The master and servant got on the carriage, and a fresh fragrance greeted them. The carriage was very spacious, and a lot of fresh fruits and even flowers were placed on the low table in the middle. It was indeed very thoughtful. The vase was actually connected to the low table, and it looked like it grew out of the table. However, this avoided the possibility of the vase being broken when the carriage was bumpy.

So ingenious!

Just when Yu Qingli and the others were about to leave, Murong Feng suddenly came out of the mansion and stopped their carriage.

"Wait a minute."

Yu Qingli lifted the carriage curtain curiously and asked, "Your Highness, is there anything else?"

Murong Feng pulled out a person from behind him. It was Shuyi who had followed Murong Feng two days ago.

Shu Yi stood beside Murong Feng somewhat stiffly, holding a small blue package in her hand. Her slender eyes were slightly lowered, making it difficult to see her expression, but one could still feel that she was not in a very good mood.

Murong Feng turned around and ordered, "Go quickly!"

Shu Yi then walked towards the carriage.

Yu Qingli's expression changed, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"

"Qingli, I'm a little worried about you and Xiluo going over, so I asked Shuyi to come with us. Having more people will help us take care of you."

Yu Qingli sneered. It looked like Shu Yi had been sent to watch over them. Murong Feng seemed to trust Shu Yi. How long had she been with him, and she was already giving him tasks?

That's good, being followed openly is better than Murong Feng sending someone else to secretly watch them. As long as Shu Yi is eliminated, it will be fine!

"That's good, Your Highness is thoughtful. But wouldn't that mean there would be no one to take care of Your Highness?"

"Qingli, have you forgotten that there are plenty of maids serving in the mansion, not to mention, there is also Zhenzhen, right?"

Yu Qingli didn't continue to refuse, and just nodded slightly and said: "Okay, in that case, let her get in the car."

Shu Yi stood awkwardly beside the carriage. The driver was about to squat down when he heard Yu Qingli say, "Let her get in by herself."

The servant immediately understood what Yu Qingli meant. One of the people in the car was the prince's consort, and the other was the future second young lady. Only this maidservant was of low status, so he naturally didn't need to use his back as a cushion to let her get in.

Murong Feng didn't say anything when he saw this. He just knew in his heart that Yu Qingli was angry. He smiled and stepped forward to comfort her, "I think we should let Shu Yi sit with the driver. It's not too far away."

Shu Yi naturally didn't dare to say much. She just sat next to the driver with a gloomy look. This time, Yu Qingli didn't continue to make things difficult for her. However, Shu Yi probably understood that her trip to the Bai family would not be smooth.

Along the way, neither Yu Qingli nor Xiluo spoke a word, but they both understood the importance of their journey this time. On the one hand, they had to infiltrate the Bai family as soon as possible and gain their trust. On the other hand, they had to get the antidote for the bone-eroding powder as soon as possible, and also find the location of the token.

Xiluo was a little worried. Time was so tight and they had so much to do. It was still unknown whether they could succeed.

Yu Qingli obviously noticed Xiluo's uneasiness, and she comforted him, "Don't worry, the Bai family will definitely like you."

When Shu Yi heard this outside the carriage, a sinister smile appeared on his lips. It seemed that Yu Qingli was really good to Xiluo!

Soon, Yu Qingli and Xiluo arrived at the gate of Jinxiu Villa together. Because there were stairs next to it, the carriage could not go up at all. Yu Qingli and Xiluo had to get off and walk. Fortunately, they came here once and did not feel any discomfort.

Shu Yi looked at the villa halfway up the mountain with some surprise. Did they have to walk up next?

There were already people waiting at the door to greet them at the villa, along with two sedan chairs. In fact, this short distance was nothing for Yu Qingli and Xiluo, but since the host was so polite, they naturally did not want to let the Bai family down.

"Princess Princess, Miss Xiluo, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

The person who came to greet him was Chen Simin. It seemed that he was indeed highly valued in the Bai family.

Yu Qingli got off the carriage and greeted Chen Simin with a smile, "It turns out to be Mr. Chen. Thank you for your help."

"That's fine. Our owner is extremely happy that the Crown Princess and Miss Xiluo are visiting the villa. Besides, I heard that Miss Xiluo and the Second Young Master are already engaged. This is truly a perfect match!"

"It's true. I came here in a hurry last time and encountered a lot of things. I didn't have time to spend a few days in the villa. I felt it was a pity. So this time I came with Xiluo. Firstly, it would allow Xiluo and the Second Young Master to cultivate their relationship. Secondly, I also want to get to know the Bai family better so that Xiluo won't suffer any loss if she marries here in the future."

"The princess and Miss Xiluo are truly sisters, but don't worry, Princess. The owner and his family love Miss Xiluo very much."

Yu Qingli didn't say anything else and got into the sedan chair with Xiluo. At this time, Chen Simin suddenly found that there was a maid following behind them. She hadn't said a word for a long time. If it weren't for the bundle in her hand, Chen Simin almost thought she was a maid in the farm.

Chen Simin was suddenly in a dilemma. She had originally received news that only Yu Qingli and Xiluo were coming, but she did not expect that they would bring a maid with them, and only two sedan chairs were prepared. Although it did not matter if a little maid did not have a sedan chair, Yu Qingli and Xiluo had a special purpose this time, and in order to show their hospitality, the Bai family could not allow any mistakes.

Yu Qingli quickly caught Chen Simin's embarrassed look. She smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, the one behind is Shuyi, a maid from my mansion. Although she doesn't like to talk much, she is very capable of doing some rough and heavy work. So don't worry, sir. She can still climb up this short distance."

The implication was that Shu Yi was going to go to Jinxiu Villa by herself.

Shu Yi's face changed when he heard this, but he quickly suppressed his dissatisfaction. Chen Simin also quickly understood what Yu Qingli meant. It seemed that this maid was not favored by Yu Qingli. In this case, he might as well follow her advice.

"Then Princess Consort and Miss Xiluo, please hurry up. The owner and his men have been waiting for you for a long time."

Yu Qingli glanced at Shu Yi calmly and said, "We're going up the mountain first. You can come later. Try to be quick. We still have things for you to pack!"

Shu Yi responded respectfully, and then Yu Qingli and Xiluo's sedan chair was lifted up. Although the distance from the foot of the mountain to Jinxiu Villa was not far, the winding mountain road was not easy to walk on, especially the high steps. It would probably take an ordinary person half an hour to walk up!

Yu Qingli clearly wanted to teach Shu Yi a lesson. Although Shu Yi was unhappy, she did not dare to show it on the surface. However, she had always been patient and naturally would not turn against Yu Qingli. What's more, she had not finished her work yet!

Looking at the two sedan chairs moving further and further away, Shu Yi's eyes became increasingly gloomy, even tinged with a bit of bloodthirstiness.

When Chen Simin turned around, she happened to catch a glimpse of Shu Yi's bloodthirsty eyes. She was stunned and thought to herself, why does this maid look like she wants to kill someone? No wonder the princess doesn't like her. I think no master would want to have such a cold maid, right?

Chen Simin quickly turned around and dispelled the slight sympathy she had felt earlier. She believed that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. The prince's wife did not look like someone who was unreasonable, so the problem could only be with this maid.

Yu Qingli and Xiluo arrived very quickly. Sure enough, the Bai family was waiting at the door. Bai Jinshu still looked like a banished immortal, with a gentle smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Bai Jinqi stood behind him. Although he still had no expression, his ears seemed a little red. The sisters Bai Jinshi and Bai Jinhua stood on either side of them, one on the left and one on the right. All the masters of the Bai family were there, which was really grand.

As soon as Yu Qingli and the others got out of the sedan chair, Bai Jinshu came to greet them, "Princess, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

"What? Aren't you welcome?"

"Haha, you're joking, Princess. It's my honor that you're here to visit Jinxiu Villa. What's more, you're here for the matter between Jinqi and Miss Xiluo."

"Anyway, I am sorry for bothering you, but I was just a little worried about Xiluo, so I had to come and see her. Besides, I came here in a hurry last time and didn't get to enjoy the scenery of Fengwei Mountain properly."

"The princess likes this place so she can come here often. No need to be so polite. When Miss Xiluo and my second brother get married in the future, our two families will be relatives."

Yu Qingli smiled and said, "In that case, the owner of the manor doesn't have to address me as the Crown Princess all the time. Just call me Qingli. I heard that His Highness and the owner of the manor are brothers of the opposite sex. So, Qingli should also address the owner as Brother Bai!"

Bai Jinshu was very pleased with Yu Qingli's words. He personally arranged accommodation for Yu Qingli and Xiluo. Unlike last time, this time they were arranged in a courtyard in the south. Next door to them lived the sisters Bai Jinshi and Bai Jinhua.
