Shen Yitian didn’t know what happened in the post station. She only knew that it was her first time riding a horse and her bones were almost broken.

She used to think horse riding was very cool when she saw it in movies, TV shows and novels, but no one told her that riding a horse is so uncomfortable.

She didn't know whether it was because it was her first time riding a horse and she was not used to it, or because the horse was running too fast.

In short, her little face had turned pale before the horse stopped.

"Master and his men have been walking for two or three days. They must have covered most of the way. In about an hour we'll find a post station. We can go ask them then. Perhaps they've already gone there to rest."

Shen Yi nodded, she thought so too.

It is worth asking at the roadside inn. It will be difficult to travel at night, and they will definitely find a place to stay.

But they asked at one post station and two inns, but there was no news of Master Shen.

At this time, almost an hour and a half had passed since she left the city.

Shen Yitian couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If she couldn't see her adoptive father as soon as possible, would she not be able to rush back before dark?

She was very worried, but she had to keep looking. According to everyone, if she couldn't find her cheap dad today, the old man would probably chase her all the way to Lingnan.

After coming out of the post station, Shen Yitian felt like all the bones in her body were about to fall apart, and her whole body ached with every step she took, but she didn't dare to stop.

"Miss, why don't you take a rest?" Xiao Wei suggested with pursed lips when he saw that she looked unhappy.

"It's too late, ride faster." Shen Yitian covered her face with her hands and secretly drank a sip of water.

It turned out that traveling on horseback was no easier than walking. She missed the communication and transportation tools she had before she traveled through the book.

If any of these things happened, she wouldn't have been unable to contact her cheap dad and had to look for someone overnight.

The two men rode their horses on the road again. After they left, two people came out from behind the inn.

"Boss, will Miss Shen be in trouble if she comes out now?" asked a bearded man. Opposite him was a thin young man.

"Since she has come out, I guess everything must have been arranged properly. What about Suisui? Let her follow. As long as there is nothing serious, she doesn't have to show up." The young man looked at the direction they left, frowning slightly.

"The third in command has already caught up. With her lightness skills, she should be able to catch up easily." The bearded man replied.

The boy nodded, said nothing more, turned around and walked away.

The remaining bearded man stood there, stroking his beard with a look of suspicion on his face.

"What is the boss thinking about? He doesn't seem to care much about Miss Shen. Why did he disguise himself as me and go to the mountain to guard for a few days?" He muttered.

But mumbling could not help him solve his doubts, so he stood there for a while and followed the young man.

On this side, Shen Yitian was just about to tell Xiao Wei that her whole body was aching so much that she wanted to stop and rest for a while, when she suddenly saw a light in front of her.

She bit her back teeth, and felt that she could still hold on, so she didn't say anything.

She didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy.

The horse quickly ran to where there was light, and Shen Yitian realized that the light actually came from a carriage.

Who would park a carriage on the roadside in the middle of the night? She felt a little nervous. It was too coincidental to suddenly encounter a carriage in the middle of the night.

She had a guess in her mind so she took another look. Unexpectedly, this one look almost frightened her to the point of falling off her horse.

I know that the stepfather loves his daughter dearly, and I also know that he disregards his own health and insists on taking her along on the journey just to see her.

But she never expected that the old man would not find an inn to rest at night, but would rest in the carriage.

"Xiao Wei, stop." Without thinking too much, Shen Yitian hurriedly shouted to the people behind her.

In fact, she didn't need to shout, Xiao Wei had already recognized that it was the Shen family's carriage.

And waiting under the carriage was the steward of the Shen Mansion who had raised him since childhood.

"Uncle Chen!" Shen Yitian shouted loudly as the horse stopped.

Uncle Chen first saw a white light, then heard someone passing by. He was already alert, and when he heard the shout, he immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Shen Yitian hadn't put away the flashlight in her hand yet, so he couldn't see who the person was. He just felt his eyes were blackened by the light.

Seeing that he subconsciously covered his eyes, Shen Yitian pretended to wrap them with some cloth a few times, and then threw the flashlight into the space.

"Uncle Chen, why are you on the road!" She ran quickly towards the carriage, but before she got there, Uncle Chen stopped her.

"Miss?" Uncle Chen couldn't believe his eyes.

"It's me. You are here. Is my father here too?" Shen Yitian just nodded at Uncle Chen and was about to go towards the carriage.

But Uncle Chen stopped her.

Shen Yitian looked at him in surprise, and only then discovered in the light of the fire that Uncle Chen's eyes were red.

Could it be that he was illuminated red by her flashlight just now?

"Miss, please don't go over there. The master..." Uncle Chen said in a calm voice, seeming a little choked.

Without waiting for Shen Yitian to ask anything, he let go of her hand again.

"Never mind, it's good that you came. If... then this can be considered as the last time we see each other." Uncle Chen said.

Shen Yitian: ???

"What do you mean by 'last meeting'? Uncle Chen, what are you talking about?" Her voice rose unconsciously.

"What happened to my dad? Don't scare me."

Uncle Chen seemed to feel a little comforted when he saw how excited she was.

"The master refused to rest despite his injuries and suddenly developed a fever. The young master has already gone on horseback to get a doctor, and Shang Yuan is taking care of him inside. I came out to see if there are any herbal remedies that can be used in an emergency." Uncle Chen sighed and said helplessly.

In fact, just a moment ago, he was still blaming this young lady in his heart.

If she had not insisted on being exiled with him, the master would not have to suffer so much, and would not have suddenly developed a fever.

But when he saw Shen Yitian anxious and flustered, he suddenly felt that the young lady was not really hopeless.

But, he suddenly remembered that the young lady seemed to be well-behaved in the past, and she acted nice to the masters and young masters in various ways.

In the end, she acted it out just to get her family to agree to her marrying into the Song family...

"Miss, why did you rush here?" He saw Shen Yitian walking anxiously towards the carriage, and hurriedly grabbed her and asked.

The master has a high fever and can't stand any more stimulation at this time.

If the young lady provokes him again, the master will really not be able to bear it.

"Of course I came to see my father. Why else?" Shen Yitian was so anxious that she didn't know how panicked she was when she heard that the old man had a fever.

Of course, if the original plot had been followed, Mr. Shen would definitely have been able to survive.

After all, in the original novel, he waited until the Song family was rehabilitated and returned to Beijing.

But the original owner never saw him again, but was trapped in Lingnan, and then received the news of his father's death.

But who knows whether these unimportant plots will deviate after she enters the book?

Thinking of this, she became even more panicked.

"Uncle Chen, don't hold me back. I want to go see my dad!"
