Female Master: The Cold Prince
Chapter 57 Staying Overnight
She refused without even thinking. It was true that she was in charge of the fiefdom, but she had never been there.
When she was still a minor, she had already fought in battles, and each battle lasted for many years. It was at that time that the fiefdom was granted to her, and she remained there until the war ended and she returned victoriously.
After returning to the capital, she had no time to manage it, so she sent Ye Shi and others to take care of it.
"Ayue, I'm worried about you, and you also said that this is just a small matter and it won't affect anything. Just let me go with you!" Yu Suyuan said unwillingly.
Hearing his slightly coquettish tone, Xiahou Jiuyue's heart softened, and as he spoke, she somehow agreed to his request.
After getting permission, a smile slowly bloomed on Yu Suyuan's face, as charming and elegant as a white lotus. Xiahou Jiuyue couldn't help but be dazed for a moment. Her eyes darkened. Why is this man so attractive now?
Yu Suyuan noticed something was wrong with her. Seeing that her eyes were dark, like a hungry wolf that would pounce on her prey at any time, he felt a sudden pang in his heart.
"Ayue?" he called softly, feeling a little nervous.
Hearing this, Xiahou Jiuyue retracted her gaze and looked away unnaturally, feeling slightly annoyed. What was wrong with her? It was as if she had never seen a man before.
He secretly despised himself and said, "It's okay. Go back and pack your luggage and leave early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Yu Suyuan said with a disappointed look.
The next morning, the group set out from the back door of the palace in an inconspicuous carriage. Very few people knew about this trip.
The appearance of the carriage is simple and inconspicuous. Ye Yi is responsible for driving outside the carriage, while Ye Er is invisible and following secretly.
Before setting off, considering Yu Suyuan's physical condition, he took Shangguan Linglong with him. Song Xiaoyi was the deputy general and had first-class martial arts skills, so taking her along was also a precaution.
Later, considering that Yu Suyuan was a man and it would be inconvenient for him to be with several older women, he also brought Guan Yawen along so that the two of them would have company on the journey.
The group of seven people left the city gate quietly without alerting any forces in the city.
The carriage stopped and started along the way. In order not to attract the attention of various forces, several people made up a false identity for themselves.
In the evening, the carriage stopped at the entrance of a small mountain village, which was a county near the capital.
After a whole day's journey, Xiahou Jiuyue and the others were fine and nothing happened to them. However, Yu Suyuan and Guan Yawen were a little exhausted.
Yu Suyuan was already injured, and after riding in a carriage for a whole day, he was now extremely weak. Xiahou Jiuyue felt very distressed when she saw this. If she had known this, she would never have brought him here.
Several people got off the carriage and stood at the entrance of the village. Song Xiaoyi went into the village alone and looked for a place to live door to door. His current identity was a guard, so she had to take action on this matter.
The village is located in a remote area, deep in the mountains. Most of the houses are built with mud walls, and there are very few houses made of bricks and tiles.
There is only one road leading into the village, and the roadside is overgrown with weeds, giving people a desolate feeling. At this moment, Xiahou Jiuyue feels as if she has walked into a strange story in a deserted village.
The gray sky made the already desolate mountain village even more eerily quiet. Yu Suyuan tightened his cloak, and one could see a hint of uneasiness in his expression.
About half an hour later, Song Xiaoyi was finally seen coming back, followed by a middle-aged woman.
The two of them came closer and closer. Song Xiaoyi pointed at the woman behind him and introduced her, "Master, this is Feng Chun, the head of Fenghe Village."
"Yeah." Xiahou Jiuyue nodded slightly.
"Village chief, this is my master, Miss Xia." Song Xiaoyi introduced to Feng Chun again.
"Village chief, we are merchants traveling from the capital to Huaizhou. We are passing by here. It is getting late, and we would like to stay with you for one night." Xiahou Jiuyue stepped forward and said.
"Are you businessmen?" Feng Chun looked at them carefully.
Xiahou Jiuyue saw the worry in her eyes and introduced the identities of everyone, "Yes, this is my husband, they are all from my family, the village chief does not have to worry, I hope the village chief can help."
When Yu Suyuan heard Xiahou Jiuyue's introduction, his ears turned slightly red and he glanced at her secretly.
Feng Chun thought about it for a moment and said, "Come with me! I happen to have a few empty rooms that I can lend to you to stay in temporarily."
"Excuse me." After saying that, several people followed her footsteps and walked to the village.
The scene in the village is not as desolate as it seems outside the village. Occasionally, you can see a few children playing on the roadside, and their joyful laughter adds a bit of vitality to the whole village.
Perhaps because there have been no outsiders entering or leaving the village all year round, there were always a few people standing in front of every household, and even the children playing on the roadside cast their eyes at the people entering the village.
Everyone was amazed. Some were curious, some looked at it carefully, while some teenagers blushed and dared not look any further.
"Don't be surprised, Miss Xia. The villagers have never traveled far, nor have they met any outsiders, so it's inevitable that they are a little curious." Feng Chun, who was leading the way, explained with a smile.
"It's okay." Xiahou Jiuyue said.
She had seen this kind of looks many times and didn't think it was a big deal. However, Yu Suyuan, who was standing next to her, looked displeased when she saw those men looking shyly at her.
He looked at the person next to him with a depressed expression. She was dressed in a fiery red dress, charming and cold. Even if there was no smile on her face, she could still win the hearts of countless men.
The village chief's house was at the very end of the village, and it took the group a while to get there.
The house is a rare brick and tile house in the village. It doesn't look very big, and there is a sturdy locust tree growing in the yard.
Hearing the noise, a middle-aged man walked out of the house. Seeing a group of handsome men and beautiful women standing in his yard, the man's eyes flashed with surprise.
"My dear wife, what are they doing?" the man asked Feng Chun.
"Don't make a fuss. They are merchants passing by and are staying at our house for one night." Feng Chun explained to the man.
"Yes, please follow me." The man said to everyone with a smile.
Several people followed him into the house. The lights in the house were dim and the furnishings in the house were neatly arranged and meticulous. It can be seen that this family are clean and tidy people.
There were several children sitting in the house, they should be the sons and daughters of the village chief. When they saw the visitor, they stood up quickly.
"Don't be afraid, they are here to stay overnight." Feng Chun said to the children again.
At this moment, the originally small room seemed a little cramped and crowded. Feng Chun brought a few stools from somewhere, and several people sat around the round table.
Feng Chun's husband took the children to the kitchen, and soon the children came back with plates of food in their hands.
In an instant, the small round table was filled with various dishes. Everyone looked at the table full of vegetarian food and the only dish of meat on the table, and their hearts were deeply moved.
