C514 Back to Beijing (1/2)
Due to being too tired, when Mu Ru Yue woke up, it was already noon of the second day. Looking at the sky outside, and then seeing that the room was empty, Mu Ru Yue was still a little stunned.
In his dreams … She no longer dreamed of Qing Xun, nor of her disappointment before she came here. After seeing Qing Xun, she suddenly understood one thing. Between her and Qing Xun, it was destined that only death would not come.
He would not feel that he was wrong, and she would never forgive the person who had killed her. Whatever it is.
It was like a ridiculous paradox between the two of them, yet none of them planned to explain themselves to each other. This was because the relationship between the two of them had already become unsolvable in the first place. Mu Ru Yue sat blankly on the bed for a while. She got up and washed her face. After that, she tidied up her slightly tattered clothes and left the room. Because the salutes on the carriage had exploded, she couldn't change even if she wanted to.
When Mu Ru Yue walked downstairs, she saw Bai Yu lazily sitting at the entrance, bathing in the sunlight. Yun'er was wiping the table for the old Bodhisattva. The sound of cooking could still be heard from the kitchen.
Feng Qing sat in the corner and drank his tea. As his gaze fell on the outside, it was unknown what he was thinking. Doll was always at his side. There was an indescribable sense of leisure here, so leisurely that it made one want to go on like this forever.
She went downstairs, and before she could open her mouth, she felt a weight on her body. A young man rushed into her arms as Qing Lin carried Mu Ru Yue. He wasn't tall and had only reached Mu Ru Yue's waist.
Mu Ru Yue came to a sudden understanding after being attacked by Qing Lin. However, his eyes were very gentle. She patted his head and asked, ”What's wrong?”
”Sister Wangfei.” Qing Lin whispered for Mu Ru Yue.
”Just call me Sister Yue.” Mu Ru Yue asked.
”Sister Yue, you never appeared. I thought …” You don't want me anymore. ” Green Qilin's voice was choked with sobs. At this moment, he thought of some past events, and his initial calmness was completely gone. Most of the time, he was in a state of panic.
Because he clearly knew that he really did not have any family left.
It was very cruel to let a child know about these things.
Mu Ru Yue hugged the youth as she replied with a gentle gaze, ”An Xin, I won't leave you.”
”Esteemed wangfei, you've finally woken up. Your servant thought you were going to sleep until dusk.” As Yun'er saw this, she immediately came over and greeted him with a smile. Mu Ru Yue's face instantly turned red. There were so many people here, but she was actually sleeping lazily. This wasn't a glorious matter.
”Esteemed wangfei, everyone is tired. Even this servant woke up late. Furthermore, Bai Yu gongzi didn't even get up for a quarter of an hour. ” Yun'er whispered. With that, he heard Bai Yu yell, ”I was just staying in my room and didn't sleep!”
At this moment, Bai Yu was clearly very embarrassed.
This was because even if he didn't think about it himself, he would still be able to sleep in!
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Mu Ru Yue felt much more at ease. It was great that she wasn't the only one that had lost face. Mu Ru Yue yawned and walked downstairs. He heard footsteps coming from the kitchen. He saw that the old lady had already walked out with her bowl of food.
Seeing that Mu Ru Yue had also woken up, he smiled amiably and said, ”You're up too, young lady?” Eat quickly. We don't have a carriage here, and if you want one, I'm afraid we'll have to go a little further.
”I've prepared some dried pastries for the few of you. If you have any other needs, feel free to speak to my wife.”
The old lady said warmly.
”No …” It's enough, thank you very much. ” Mu Ru Yue hastily said. Towards this old lady's enthusiasm, she really did not want to raise any more requests. In this world, there were too few such people.
After everyone ate lunch, they left with the pastries that the old lady gave them. Before they left, Bai Yu even left a few thousand taels of silver in the restaurant. Afterwards, he left without waiting for the old lady to discover him.
Perhaps, he was returning the money he earned for the food back then? Mu Ru Yue thought.
It was just as the old lady had said. It wasn't until the evening that they finally found an inn with a carriage. After renting one, they didn't rest and headed straight for the capital.
News of the Peony City's matters continued to spread. Things might change in an instant, so Feng Qing needed to return as soon as possible to take charge of the situation. The matters of the Peony City would need to be dealt with by him. Otherwise, there was no telling how the rumors would spread.
