The days passed quietly. One day, Ye Song asked the boy next to him to come over and send a message, saying that they would set off back to Beijing in two days.
When Ye Jintang asked, he learned that the court had issued a verdict against Song Deshan. The Song family was involved in the disaster relief fund and the poisoning of Magistrate Ye. Except for Song Deshan, all the members of the three clans were exiled to Guinan and all their property was confiscated.
A new prefect will come to Yuezhou City to take office in the near future.
"You go back to your master and tell me that I am going to my grandpa's house in Xingnan."
With how much Ye Song valued Ye Jintang, Ye Jintang bet that Ye Song would not accompany her to the Wen family.
Now he is afraid that he wants to grow a pair of wings and fly back to the capital immediately.
Sure enough, not long after, Ye Song came to see Ye Jintang in person.
He kept talking about his difficulties as soon as he arrived, as if escorting Ye Jintang to Xingnan Prefecture would delay his future.
"How about I go by myself?"
Ye Jintang looked at Ye Song pretending to be tentative.
"Of course I won't let the sixth sister go to the Wen family in Xingnan alone. Why don't I send two boys and hire some bodyguards from the escort agency to escort the sixth sister to Xingnan."
"Why do I need so much trouble? Fourth brother only needs to hire a few escorts for me. I will stay in Xingnan for a few days and I will go to the capital to visit my grandmother with the caravan entering Beijing."
"How can I let you go to the capital by yourself? I'll probably be pretty busy here after you stay in Xingnan for a few days. I'll personally pick you up and take you back to the capital."
Ye Jintang nodded obediently, as if all the arrangements were reasonable and there was nothing wrong with them.
But if this matter spreads, all the wealthy families in the capital might stab Ye Song in the back.
After all, Ye Jintang was also a direct daughter of Danyang Houfu. How dare he let her go to Xingnan Prefecture alone.
Even the fastest carriage would take five or six days to travel from Yuezhou City to Xingnanzhou Jiangcheng, and if you were unlucky along the way, you might encounter robbers.
Ye Jintang is a little girl. If she encounters a robber, her life will be ruined regardless of whether she is in trouble or not.
It's a pity that Ye Song only has a bright future in his mind. As for what will happen to Ye Jintang when he goes to Xingnan Prefecture, he doesn't care.
Ding Xingwang, a member of the Danyang Hou Mansion, is most in need of his legitimate daughters. He alone has two younger sisters. Even if Ye Jintang dies on the road, it is not a big deal to him.
After the matter was finalized, Ye Jintang did not stay in Yuezhou City for long. He packed up the few pieces of furniture and sold them before preparing to leave.
The day before she was about to leave, someone brought her a small bamboo basket.
"Look, girl."
Aunt Liu came with a basket to show to Ye Jintang.
"Who sent this?"
Ye Jintang reached out and lifted up the small floral cloth on the basket, and a little snow-white furry head poked out of the basket.
"Hey, it's a little white cat, and it still has mandarin duck eyes."
The little white cat looked at Ye Jintang curiously. Its big watery eyes were so cute.
Ye Jintang reached out and picked up the little white cat from the basket. She gently scratched the cat's chin and heard the kitten meow twice.
"Your voice is really cool."
Ye Jintang was so curious that he rubbed his face against the kitten's head, which elicited another meow.
"The little white cat was sent here by Mr. Jiang. He said it was to thank the girl for the clues she provided in finding the disaster relief fund."
Ye Jintang was a little confused. Why did Jiang Zhi suddenly mention the disaster relief fund? Could it be that he knew something?
Fortunately, she was leaving Yuezhou City soon. Even if Jiang Zhi knew something, she wouldn't be afraid.
"Luzhu, take the little white cat with you. With the little guy as a companion on the road, we won't be too bored on the road."
"Yes, I don't know what kittens eat. Do I need to prepare some in advance?"
"Buy some chicken breasts and cook some for it morning and night. The kitten will be easy to feed."
"Yes, I'll tell you, Cook Wei, to buy two more chickens to take with you."
The little kitten was soft and cute. Ye Jintang played with it for a while and then put it in the space.
Plants can grow quickly in space, and I don’t know if kittens will also grow up quickly.
While Ye Jintang was thinking about it, the little kitten that was just about the size of a palm had grown a lot bigger. She was so frightened that she quickly let the kitten out.
It seems that space has the same effect on animals.
Things were packed quickly. Early the next morning, Ye Jintang, who changed into men's clothes and a human skin mask, got on a carriage and headed to Xingnan Prefecture.
When she left Yuezhou City, her cousin Ye Song didn't even come to see her off. Ye Jintang opened the carriage curtain and looked back at the majestic Yuezhou City gate, feeling cold in his heart.
The family ties in the Danyang Marquis Mansion are really weak.
The escort agency that escorted Ye Jintang was still the Yunxi escort agency, and it was escort leader Song who escorted him personally.
Ye Jintang arranged a new identity for himself, named Ye Qinglin, a young businessman.
"Master Ye, ahead is Wanma Mountain. The woods over there are very dense, and bandits will appear from time to time. We will rest here temporarily and pass Wanma Mountain early tomorrow morning."
"We didn't rest at noon and waited until we got out of Wanma Mountain. We were looking for a camp to stay."
The head guard Song had a serious look on his face, which showed that Wanma Mountain was a dangerous place.
"Okay, then we will stay here tonight."
Leaving Yuezhou City and heading north, their stop on the first day was a deserted rocky beach. Not far away was a small stream. The water was so clear that you could occasionally see small fish the size of your thumb swimming by.
Chef Wei took out the ingredients she had already prepared, washed them by the stream, and prepared to make dinner.
Bouncer Song was very experienced in sleeping outdoors. After a while, he led his escort to clear a flat area among the rubble to set up a tent.
Looking at such a peaceful scenery, Ye Jintang felt very comfortable.
"Song Biaotou, you used to wander around and often camped in the wild."
"Yes, in order to travel, we rarely find villages or towns to stay. Most of us set up tents in the wild."
"No wonder, I see you are very skilled at setting up tents."
Ye Jintang held the little white cat in his arms and watched escort leader Song and others setting up tents and feeding the horses. Everything felt so novel.
In her previous life, she struggled with layers of shackles throughout her life. She never thought that one day, she would live such a comfortable life.
There is no intrigue, no intrigue.
Inexplicably, she thought about her life in Ningchuanzhou again.
Ningchuan Continent is far away from the capital and is located in a remote place. When she survives King Qin, the entire Ningchuan Continent will be hers.
She can live freely in Ningchuanzhou, and just thinking about her at this moment makes me excited.
As the sun gradually set, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and Cook Wei cooked two beggar's chickens.
I saw Chef Wei dig out two black mud eggs from under the bonfire.
"It's so hot."
The kitchen lady shouted, "It's hot." She put on cotton gloves and placed a black mud egg on the stone slab.
The black mud egg cracked open with a gentle tap, and a strong aroma hit his face. Ye Jintang, who was sitting by the river to enjoy the coolness, couldn't help but come over to join in the fun.
The outermost layer of mud is cleared away, revealing the entire lotus leaf inside.
The chicken wrapped in the innermost part was now fully cooked, and the fat seeped out, mixed with the aroma of lotus leaves, making everyone drool.
