Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Chapter 256 The Dark Moonlight in My Heart (26)

Heading south, the road became increasingly desolate. During a rest stop, the caravan even stumbled upon a corpse that had starved to death. It is said that this frightened the Empress Dowager greatly, and she never appeared in public again after that, always hiding in her large carriage.

The convoy continued on its way, the surrounding scenery becoming increasingly desolate, as if they were in a deathly silence. A chilly wind blew by, instilling a sense of dread in everyone.

"I am Zhui Feng, the garrison commander of Pei County, and I respectfully welcome Lord Shen to your presence."

Suddenly, a clear, aloof voice rang out from outside the carriage, breaking the silence. The voice carried an air of cold arrogance that drew everyone's attention.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Xiao gently lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. She saw a leader standing in front of the carriage, dressed in a red official robe with a jade belt around his waist. His posture was elegant, like a pine tree in the snow. He possessed an air of noble character, but this was marred by a pair of smiling, fox-like eyes.

"Does Your Highness also find the garrison commander of Pei County handsome?" Ruyan followed Xiaoxiao's gaze.

These days, Xiaoxiao has been treating the servants in the mansion with kindness and gentleness, and occasionally she will even joke with them. As a result, Ruyan, the little girl, has gradually revealed her childlike side.

Even the usually taciturn Awu spoke up, saying, "Your Highness, I think the magistrate of Pei County is quite handsome. Your Highness should broaden your horizons. Besides Lord Shen, there are others."

"Yes, yes, it really scared Sister A-Wu last time. She had nightmares for several nights in a row!" Ru Yan patted her chest with lingering fear when she thought of Shen She's appearance at the time.

After glancing in that direction again, Xiao Xiao lowered the curtain and said, "I think this guard looks cunning and is more like a bad guy."

[Could something be any worse than this?]

Ruyan didn't dare say these words out loud. She just stood awkwardly to the side, massaging Xiaoxiao's shoulders, and said softly, "What Your Highness said seems to make sense."

Just then, Zhui Feng, who was chatting with Shen She outside the carriage, suddenly sneezed loudly. He couldn't help but wonder if someone was talking about him behind his back.

Meanwhile, upon hearing Zhui Feng sneeze, Shen She kindly offered a word of advice: "Autumn is approaching, Lord Zhui's official robes are a bit too thin. You should take care of your health." With that, he looked straight ahead and rode away quickly.

Watching Shen She's retreating figure, Zhui Feng shook his head helplessly and smiled, "You care about me but you beat around the bush, you're so stubborn and annoying!"

Mo Feng, also dressed as a guard, looked at Zhui Feng with disdain as he passed by, choosing to ignore Zhui Feng who was approaching him.

Zhui Feng wasn't annoyed at all; he happily mounted his horse and they headed towards the mansion together.

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the mansion, Zhui Feng caught up with them.

Shen She had never been interested in women, and because of the Empress Dowager, no woman dared to approach him. This situation aroused everyone's curiosity, and they couldn't help but frequently look into the distance.

"Who is this?" When the convoy arrived at the gate of the mansion, Zhui Feng raised his head, pointed to Xiao Xiao standing to Shen She's right, and asked knowingly.

Shen She's expression remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "This is my sworn sister."

Zhui Feng, with ill intent, pointed again to the "Empress Dowager" standing to Shen She's left, and then asked, "And what about this one?"

Upon hearing this question, Shen She's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "She is my sworn sister." Then, he added stiffly, "Lord Zhui, I've come south to investigate a case. Please try to ask as few questions as possible about matters unrelated to this."

"Oh, so you are Lord Shen's sworn sisters!" Zhui Feng seemed to realize that his behavior was somewhat inappropriate and quickly apologized, "I didn't expect Lord Shen to bring his female relatives. I'm truly sorry for neglecting your good sisters."

Shen She completely ignored Zhui Feng's sarcastic attitude and said directly, "My elder sister wants to go to Nanshan to offer incense and pray for blessings tomorrow. Please help arrange it, Lord Zhui."

Zhui Feng smiled slightly, a mischievous and teasing smile: "Haha, what's so difficult about that? She's just your sister, sir! This humble official will arrange everything perfectly and clearly for you!"

Xiao Xiao, following behind the two, naturally overheard their conversation clearly and felt a surge of disgust. She was utterly disgusted by Lord Zhui Feng's fawning behavior, considering him nothing more than a shameless "simp."

So, Xiaoxiao quietly distanced herself from the group, trying to keep a certain distance from them. She didn't want to have too much contact with such people.

Ruyan also felt that her words in the car were not worth it. She was good-looking, but her behavior was like a dog's, and she was indeed not worthy of the princess's attention.
