The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 6 Return to the Capital
Mu Xiyue didn't dwell on this matter too much. If the enemy came, she would fight back. If the water came, she would block it. If the mansion insisted on her returning, the worst that could happen was a trip to the capital. She had been in Tianqi for a year and hadn't seen much of the world, so she would just treat it as a trip to the capital.
As usual, Mu Xiyue went up the mountain with Xiaotao to dig bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms these days, and occasionally hunted some rabbits and pheasants. She really liked this kind of mountain life, which was much better than the days full of zombies in her previous life.
Five days passed like this. Just after lunch, there was a sound of horse hooves at the door. Mu Xiyue went out and saw that her guess was right. The Marquis' Mansion had sent people again, but this time the scene was a little bigger than the last time. The six guards all looked like they had some skills.
It was still the same Nanny Chen, but this time her attitude was better than last time.
"Miss, the master has instructed me to take her back this time. I hope she won't make things difficult for us servants."
Mu Xiyue snorted lightly, "What if I say no?"
Nanny Chen had learned her lesson this time and didn't move forward. She stood beside the guard and spoke from a distance, "Miss, Madam said that if you still don't want to go back, then you can't live in this house anymore. I've brought the deed with me. Madam has instructed me to sell the house if you don't go back."
Mu Xiyue thought there would be some brilliant tricks, but they played such a low-level trick on her. However, since they decided to go back to that place to see her, they didn't say much to them.
"Okay, when do you leave?"
Seeing that she was understanding, the nanny was relieved and said, "Miss, please pack up. We will leave immediately."
Mu Xiyue had already analyzed this to Xiaotao a few days ago, and Xiaotao also knew what she was thinking. The two of them went into the house to pack up without saying much.
Mu Xiyue stored all the food at home in her space, and most of their clothes were also put in her space, leaving only two small bags for two sets of clothes. The rest of the things were left at home, as she was planning to come back to live here.
There was only one carriage, which could only seat three people at most. Nanny Chen and another old woman climbed onto the carriage first. Mu Xiyue chuckled and stood aside without moving. Xiaotao naturally stood behind her without moving either.
One of the guards spoke up, "Miss, please get in the carriage. We are about to set off."
Mu Xiyue chuckled softly, "Are you going to let me, a master, and two servants ride in a carriage back? If the Marquis' Mansion is so poor that it doesn't even have a carriage for a proper master like me, it doesn't matter, Xiaotao, drive our donkey cart."
Nanny Chen's forehead throbbed twice. She lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Miss, the carriage can accommodate three people. Miss Xiaotao will sit with the driver. Please bear with it. The donkey cart is too slow, and it would not look good if we rushed back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Mu Xiyue put away the smile on her face and said coldly, "You're wronged? You, a servant, are wronging me, your master. You're so shameless. Either you two get off and I'll give you the carriage, or I'll drive the donkey cart back. Of course, there's a third option, you can go back on your own."
Just as Nanny Chen was about to speak, the guard said, "Miss, the two Nannies are old, so please allow her to ride in the carriage with you. The conditions on the road are limited. Miss, please understand and don't waste any more time."
Mu Xiyue glanced at the guard coldly and called out, "Xiao Tao."
Xiao Tao raised her hand in tacit understanding, and the fan in her palm hit the guard's face. The guard was hit and fell off his horse, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't think that the young lady is easy to talk to. A servant should behave like a servant."
The two secret guards who were mixed in with the escort were both shocked. There was no internal force fluctuation in this maid, but the slap she just gave was obviously done with internal force from a distance. It was too strong.
One of the secret guards said, "Madam Chen, the two of you should get off and sit with the coachman. Don't waste time."
Mu Xiyue was very satisfied. This man who looked to have some skills knew how to deal with the current situation.
Nanny Chen and the other maid were unwilling but there was nothing they could do. The Marquis had instructed them before they left to take the eldest lady away as safely as possible.
The seat next to the driver was just enough for one more person, and it would be very crowded if two people sat there. However, Mu Xiyue didn't care whether they were comfortable or not. She and Xiaotao got on the car. There were two soft cushions in the car, which was indeed much more comfortable than the donkey cart.
The carriage arrived in front of the village. Mu Xiyue stopped the carriage and got off and walked into the village chief's house.
"Uncle Village Chief, I'm going back to the capital for a while. I'd like you to take care of my donkey. If you need the donkey cart, feel free to use it. If I don't come back for a year or two, I'll give it to you."
After spending a year with Mu Xiyue, the village chief knew that this girl had no bad intentions. Instead, she was very worldly-wise. He had made a lot of money helping Mu Xiyue sell wild boars, so he naturally agreed to Mu Xiyue's request.
The carriage continued to move forward, but there were two old women squeezed together with the driver, so the driver's driving was naturally affected a little.
In order to return to Shangjing City as soon as possible, they did not spend the night in the county seat of Yun'an County, but left Yun'an County and settled in a small town at the beginning of the Xu period.
It seemed that he was determined to bring her back to the capital. Mu Xiyue was not afraid that anything might happen to her along the way, and she slept soundly at night.
The next day, they hurried all day, arriving in Luofeng City by dusk. Luofeng City was the closest city to Shangjing City, and it was only another half-day's journey away. At this time, they had no choice but to stay in Luofeng City for one night, otherwise, even if they continued on their way to Shangjing City, the city gates would have been closed by the time they reached it.
This is the first time Mu Xiyue has traveled far away since she traveled here. It’s not that she didn’t want to travel around before, but the main reason was that she didn’t have enough money.
Luofeng City is indeed the city closest to the capital, and its prosperity cannot be compared with a small county town like Yun'an County.
After dinner, Mu Xiyue took Xiaotao out of the inn for a walk. Most of the shops on the street were still open, and street vendors were still setting up stalls. There was no curfew in Luofeng City, and all shops would be open until the hour of Xu.
The guards saw the two of them about to leave and hurriedly stopped them, "Miss, you've been traveling all day, please go back to your room and rest."
Mu Xiyue looked at the guards with amusement, "I want to go out for a walk, you can follow me, but if you block my way again, I don't mind letting you crawl back to Shangjing City."
The guards had seen Xiao Tao in action, and although they didn't know if the young lady was as powerful, Xiao Tao was enough to intimidate them. They didn't dare to provoke the young lady at will, so they had to follow the two of them and pray that the young lady wouldn't do anything weird.
Mu Xiyue was just curious about the hustle and bustle of Luofeng City. After walking around, she found that the prices here were slightly higher than those in Yun'an County. She had no desire to buy anything. She thought that she had only saved more than two hundred taels of silver this year, and she probably couldn't buy much in Shangjing City. When she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, she would find a way to get some silver from the Mansion. She couldn't come here in vain.
After strolling for about half an hour, Mu Xiyue lost interest. The guards breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to the inn. They were really worried that the young lady would escape at the last minute, and then they would have no way to explain to the Marquis when they returned.
