Tonglu drove the horse-drawn carriage, looking at the slowly moving oxcart ahead, a great doubt flashed through his mind.

He couldn't understand what his young master was thinking. Why would he choose to ride in someone else's oxcart when there was a comfortable and luxurious carriage available?

He muttered unconsciously to himself as the wheels creaked and groaned: "Won't those wheels break?"

Sure enough, the car in front bumped and snapped, and its wheel broke.

Tong Lu quickly covered his mouth, not daring to look at the disheveled people in front of him.

He forgot he was a jinx, and everything he said came true.

He Yunzhou glanced back at Tong Lu with a sinister look. Seeing his guilty expression, he knew it was this kid who had done this.

Tonglu caught He Yunzhou's gaze and cried out in alarm: "Oh no, I'm going to get my salary docked again!"

Finally, having obeyed the young master's every command, he had no choice but to drive the oxcart back step by step, while the others rode away in comfortable horse-drawn carriages.

As he watched the carriage disappear around the corner, Tonglu realized a fatal problem: he didn't know the way!

Inside the carriage, He Wuyang looked dejected.

"Sister-in-law, I still think the oxcart is much better. You can't see anything in a horse-drawn carriage."

Ye Xiaoxiao glanced at the little girl's face and asked, "Ayang, do you feel a little nauseous and want to throw up?"

The little girl nodded, feeling that the discomfort had intensified.

Ye Xiaoxiao understood; the little girl was experiencing some motion sickness.

"Ah Yang, give me your hand."

The little girl obediently stretched out her arm.

Ye Xiaoxiao skillfully located the transverse crease of her wrist and pressed it with the pad of her thumb with moderate pressure.

A moment later, the previously sickly little girl's eyes lit up, and she regained much of her energy: "Sister-in-law, I feel much better! You're amazing! It's incredible!"

Ye Xiaoxiao smiled indulgently and explained, "I just pressed the Neiguan acupoint for you. Its function is to relieve chest tightness, regulate Qi, calm the mind, soothe the stomach, and stop vomiting."

After hearing the explanation, the little girl looked on incredulously: "Sister-in-law, your medical skills are amazing!"

She secretly made up her mind that she must learn from her sister-in-law.

Outside the carriage, He Jing sat with his legs bent to one side, while He Yunzhou sat with his legs bent on the other side, but he was holding a whip and waving it around.

He said indignantly, "I never thought I'd be reduced to being your coachman."

He Jing's expression remained unchanged, but a fleeting smile flashed in his eyes, too quick to catch. He added, "You can also drive an oxcart."

He Yunzhou frowned, wondering why he was at a disadvantage against these guys. He'd give Tong Lu, that jinx, a good talking-to when he got here.

Just do it!

The carriage traveled a little further when He Yunzhou seemed to have thought of something. He nudged the person beside him with his elbow and gossiped in a tone that only the two of them could hear:

"Are you and your sister-in-law not very close? Why does she call you by your full name, always just 'He Jing'? It's not intimate at all."

He Jing frowned; it seemed to make sense.

She... never called him affectionately, except when she needed to annoy someone, she would hook her arm around his and call him "husband".

By the way, on her way to town today, she seemed to have something to say to me, but she hesitated and stopped.

Could it be? She's leaving?

Thinking of this, He Jing's breath caught in his throat, and his heart was filled with a deep bitterness.

He Yunzhou stared in astonishment, his eyes wide: "No way? I was right, you two... you haven't... done that yet, have you?"

"Ok?"

"It's that...like this..."

He Yunzhou was at his wit's end with this clueless person, so he decided to demonstrate it himself.

He squinted his eyes, pouted his lips, and slowly leaned closer to He Jing...

"us......"

Where are you?

Ye Xiaoxiao lifted the carriage curtain, but before she could say anything more, she quickly pulled it back down.

Immediately afterwards, someone heard a solid slap on the face.

He Wuyang asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, what's going on outside?"

Wuyou also turned her head to look over, her face equally full of curiosity.

"It's nothing, your older brother is swatting mosquitoes."

He Wuyou and He Wuyang said in unison, "Oh."

He Yunzhou's cursing voice rang out from outside: "Hey, why did you hit me?"

"You have mosquitoes on your face."

He Yunzhou: ...I refuse to accept this!

The horse-drawn carriage drove all the way into Dongyuan Village.

The luxurious carriage attracted a lot of attention as soon as it entered the village.

"Whose wealthy relative is this?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before. Nobody in our village has any relatives who have become rich, everyone is so poor they can't even afford to eat."

"Is that He Jing sitting up ahead? I can't see him clearly from this distance."

"He does look a bit like He Jing."

"Oh my, look! The carriage has really stopped in front of the He family's house."
