Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 286 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 5

Chu Yuebai used her sleeve to take out a small white wine pot and placed it on the table: "Want some?"

Smelling the aroma of wine in the air, Qian Zhao sat down next to her, opened the bottle, and took a sip.

After finishing the drink, he asked in confusion, "What kind of wine is this? I don't think I've ever had it before?"

"It's not sold outside, it's homemade!" Chu Yuebai said with a smile.

"The wine is good," Qian Zhao said after taking another sip.

Yu Shisan, who saw Qian Zhao enter Chu Yuebai's room, quickly went to the door and listened with great interest to what they were saying.

Chu Yuebai glanced at the door, a slight smile playing on her lips, and quietly drank her wine without saying a word.

Qian Zhao turned and glanced at her, then lowered his eyes and silently finished his drink.

"We have to travel tomorrow, so you should get some rest." With that, he stood up.

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Mm!"

Watching the person walk out the door, she turned her gaze away and entered the space.

As Qian Zhao stepped outside, Yu Shisan grabbed him, saying, "Old Qian, you're not being loyal! You secretly drank with Chu Meiren, trying to make the first move?"

"She rejected you!" Qian Zhao said expressionlessly before returning to his room.

Yu Shisan hurriedly followed, wanting to argue with him: "Old Qian, Old Qian!"

Just as Yu Shisan reached the door, Qian Zhao slammed it shut, nearly causing him to crash into it. He had no choice but to take a step back.

"Old Qian, you're walking so fast, did I figure out what you were thinking?" Yu Shisan said to the room.

After not receiving a reply, he flicked his sleeves, smiled, and went back to his room.

Qian Zhao heard his words from inside the room, sat at the table expressionlessly, and Chu Yuebai's image floated into his mind.

Then he shook his head, thinking of something else that was more important.

Chu Yuebai returned to her space, first taking a rose bath, and then resting outside.

The next day, the caravan continued its journey, with Chu Yuebai sitting in the carriage.

Yang Ying rubbed her lower back: "My lower back is a little sore from sitting in the carriage for so long."

“Your Highness, you can learn to ride a horse,” Ren Ruyi said.

"Really? Sister Ruyi!" Yang Ying's eyes lit up as she asked.

Ren Ruyi nodded with a smile, and Chu Yuebai smiled as well when she saw Yang Ying's expression.

Seeing her nod, Yang Ying shouted loudly outside, "Stop!"

The people rushing to catch their trains outside stopped, and Ning Yuanzhou's voice came through.

"what happened?"

Ren Ruyi lifted the carriage curtain: "Your Highness wishes to learn to ride a horse!"

Yang Ying leaned closer and said with a smile, "Yes!"

“Then you can come down!” Ning Yuanzhou said.

Ren Ruyi nodded, lowered the carriage curtain, and looked at Chu Yuebai: "I'll go down and take a look. What about you?"

"Go ahead, I'll watch from the carriage!" Chu Yuebai said.

"Sister Yuebai, can you ride a horse?" Yang Ying asked with a smile.

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Yes, you can go ahead, you'll learn it soon too."

"Okay, I will definitely study hard!" Yang Ying said enthusiastically.

After they got off the train, Chu Yuebai heard the commotion outside and lifted the carriage curtain to look. Qian Zhao glanced in their direction.

Ren Ruyi helped Yang Ying onto the horse, and Yuan Lu held the reins and taught her how to ride.

Chu Yuebai propped her head up with her hand, watching their interaction with a smile.

After they played for a while and returned to the carriage, Chu Yuebai poured them a cup of tea.

"Thank you!" Ren Ruyi accepted it with a smile.

Yang Ying said, "Thank you, Sister Yuebai."

"Is horseback riding fun?" Chu Yuebai asked.

"It was fun, but why didn't you let me ride it a little longer?" Yang Ying was still a little unsatisfied.

Ren Ruyi patted her leg, and Yang Ying exclaimed, "What happened? It's a little sore!"

"Horse riding tests your waist and leg strength the most. You're a beginner, so don't try to do too much at once. Did you practice the dagger technique I had last time?"

“I’ve practiced it, Sister Ruyi, take a look!” After saying that, Yang Ying took out a dagger and decisively stabbed it into the apple.

Ren Ruyi and Chu Yuebai exchanged a glance before she said, "It's starting to look good!"

Yang Ying quickly smiled. After entering the city, they heard a commotion outside. Chu Yuebai lifted the carriage curtain, and the group looked over.

Many displaced refugees in the city were starving. When they saw other people's food, they would rush up to snatch it and then be beaten.

"Can I help them?" Yang Ying asked, unable to bear seeing their plight.

Chu Yuebai shook her head and said, "We can't help them all; there are too many refugees."

“We need to find the local magistrate to resettle the displaced people,” Ren Ruyi said.

“Then I’ll go tell Brother Yuanzhou to find the county magistrate,” Yang Ying said quickly.

“Ning Yuanzhou will probably do this as well,” Ren Ruyi said, based on his understanding of Ning Yuanzhou.

Chu Yuebai smiled and said, "You two really understand each other."

"Sister Ruyi, are you with Brother Yuanzhou?" Yang Ying asked, looking at Ren Ruyi.

"I want to have a child, and Ning Yuanzhou is the father I've chosen," Ren Ruyi said with a smile.

Yang Ying covered her mouth and asked, "Sister Ruyi? Do you like Brother Yuanzhou?"

Ren Ruyi didn't speak, but Chu Yuebai said, "The two of them are probably still in an ambiguous stage right now."

"Do you think Ning Yuanzhou had that intention?" Ren Ruyi asked.

Chu Yuebai nodded: "Of course, anyone with eyes can see that you are somewhat different, but there may be some concerns among you, so there hasn't been much further development yet."

"Is it because of his concerns that he refuses to have children with me?" Ren Ruyi asked.

"He's probably quite responsible and doesn't want you to have a child so easily," Chu Yuebai said after thinking for a moment.

Yang Ying nodded and said, "Brother Yuanzhou is indeed quite responsible."

Ren Ruyi seemed to be deep in thought when she heard the sound of things being moved outside. The carriage had arrived at the place where they were to be settled.

The three of them got off the carriage, and Chu Yuebai went into the room that had been arranged for her and stretched.

"Host, have you thought about the side quest? Do you want to complete it?" Xiao Qi asked.

Chu Yuebai paused for a moment, then, thinking about how she had spent time with everyone along the way, nodded and said, "I've thought it through. I will do it."

"Good host."

Xiao Qi quieted down, and Chu Yuebai recalled tonight's plot: the female lead was suspected by Qian Zhao, and then he followed her and found that she had met with Zhu Yiwei's men.

This led to the later plot where the female lead was injured and forced to leave because of them.

Chu Yuebai walked out of the room and went to have dinner with everyone.

She casually found a seat and sat down. Yu Shisan came in, saw her, and sat down next to her: "Beautiful lady, it's an honor to sit next to you..."

He was interrupted by the sound of a bowl being placed on the other side before he could finish speaking.

"Old Qian, why are you putting down a bowl so forcefully?" Yu Shisan looked up and said.

Qian Zhao sat down opposite him: "I didn't hold it properly just now."

"Host, I'm reporting him! He deliberately interrupted you just now!" Xiao Qi said, raising her hand in the space.

Chu Yuebai curled the corners of her lips: "I understand!"

Yu Shisan glanced at Qian Zhao, then at Chu Yuebai, his eyes revealing a knowing look: "Old Qian, Old Qian!"
