Quick Travel: Cannon fodder, she always encounters yandere and paranoid people

*

The sun was shining brightly, and a tall and handsome man in a green shirt was concentrating on weeding. There was a little sweat on his forehead, his nose was high, and his brows were deep.

"Miss, is he really the person you are looking for? Why is he ignoring me?"

The maidservant beside Ning Xingruo pointed in the direction of Wei Huai and said, as Ning Xingruo's most trusted person, she had just learned that the person her lady was looking for was the prince's confidant.

The current Crown Prince Qi Yu once met her young lady Ning Xingruo.

I don't know where the young lady heard the news from, saying that Wei, a powerful official close to the prince, was assassinated on his way back to the capital and his whereabouts are unknown. If the young lady can successfully find him, she will be able to gain a favor from the prince.

However, such a plan could not be made public in order to prevent the prince's people from noticing that they were deliberately looking for someone, so Ning Xingruo did not allow anyone to post any notices and could only search everywhere based on the facial features she had described verbally.

"You won't admit it."

Ning Xingruo turned her head slightly and said to her maid Qiuyue that she remembered all the important plots in the dream clearly.

Besides, the most trusted minister of Crown Prince Qi Yu was very handsome, so she must have been right.

"He must have lost his memory, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in this mountain village now that his injuries have healed."

Ning Xingruo said in a low voice with finality, looking up at the surrounding farmland with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

In such a remote and poor village, how could a man like Wei Huai, who was of noble status and a close minister to the prince, continue to stay here after fully recovering from his injuries?

The master and servant stood by and whispered to each other. Wei Huai didn't even raise his head, but just weeded seriously.

Today he was helping a family in the village weed their abandoned farmland and was paid. After finishing the work, he would go to the street to buy some things for Yun Wu.

Wei Huaizheng stopped and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. The handkerchief he used was also Yun Wu's. He smelled the faint fragrance of his wife on it and felt that working to earn money was not tiring at all.

At this moment, the strange woman took another step closer.

"Sir, you don't recognize me, but I do. You are not from Xiaoyang Village, but..."

Ning Xingruo dragged out the last part of her voice. Seeing that the handsome man finally stopped what he was doing, she was delighted and said quickly:

"The newly appointed Minister of the Central Secretariat, Wei Huai."

She was confident that Wei Huai, who thought he had lost his memory, would be confused after hearing this, and she would then persuade him with kind words and bring him back.

Then pretend that he had taken him in unintentionally, and let Prince Qi Yu see Wei Huai. In this way, he could have more contact with Qi Yu, as per the original plot.

Unexpectedly, Wei Huai just looked at her steadily, with no extra expression on his face.

"You got the wrong person."

Wei Huai said calmly. He carefully put away the handkerchief he used to wipe his sweat, then picked up the hoe and removed all the remaining weeds with quick movements.

But the hand holding the hoe couldn't help but tighten a little.

"I heard from an old man at the village that your name is Wei Huai. There is no way he would make a mistake! You just got hurt and lost your memory, so you don't know your identity."

Ning Xingruo said quickly, and Qiuyue, the maid beside her, also chattered in agreement.

Wei Huai frowned slightly, then raised his eyes and looked at Ning Xingruo.

He frowned slightly and said seriously:

"I am your wife's husband, not someone else. You have made a mistake."

Ning Xingruo was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Wei Huai was about to turn around and leave, so she hurriedly followed him.

However, the road in the field was muddy, and Ning Xingruo was wearing embroidered shoes and didn't want her dress to get stained, so she walked in a very awkward manner.

"Master Wei!"

Ning Xingruo called out, and the man turned around. She thought he had remembered something, but he frowned and said unhappily:

"Don't follow me anymore, my wife will be unhappy."

Wei Huai slammed the hoe heavily into the turned soil. The splashing mud scared Ning Xingruo. He seemed to be warning them not to follow him.

Ning Xingruo was startled and looked at the maid Qiuyue.

She wondered, when did the Minister of the Central Secretariat get married? Could it be that someone took advantage of his amnesia to trick him into marriage, and that was why he refused to believe what she said...

But Ning Xingruo remembered that in the dream, the recovery of the prince's confidant didn't seem that complicated. How come he has lost his memory and has a wife now?

Wei Huai was walking towards the village entrance. His tightly furrowed brows did not relax. Instead, he pursed his lips tightly and looked tense.

When he heard the man calling him Lord Zhongshu Ling, his hands clenched a little. In fact, he had vaguely remembered some things these days.

But Wei Huai didn't want to completely recover those memories, perhaps because he always felt that his wife would no longer want him if he remembered them.

Therefore, such vague memories emerged just like window paper, but Wei Huai was unwilling to break that layer of window paper.

He just wanted to be Yun Wu's husband.

This time, the appearance of Ning Xingruo and her servant made Wei Huai feel a little uneasy.

Wei Huai's heart finally calmed down until he tightly grasped Yun Wu's handkerchief hidden in his sleeve.

"I also need to buy food and clothes for my wife..."

Wei Huai murmured to himself, and when he thought of Yun Wu, his frown slowly relaxed.

Why did he think so much? His wife was still waiting for him at home.

Arriving at the Qing County market, Wei Huai quickened his pace and headed towards the embroidery workshop.

Behind him, two servants were following quietly, not too far away. They were Ning Xingruo's men.

As soon as she entered the embroidery workshop, the embroiderer recognized Wei Huai.

"Are you here to pick up the clothes you ordered for me a few days ago?"

"Exactly."

Wei Huai nodded lightly. The old woman glanced at Wei Huai with a smile, then looked around and took out a brocade box from the cabinet behind her and handed it to Wei Huai.

"Don't worry, my dear. Our embroidery skills are excellent, and the materials are the lightest, thinnest and softest. Everything will be tailored according to the style you choose."

The old woman whispered to Wei Huai that she had received a lot of money from Wei Huai, so facing such a generous guest, she should treat him well.

"Ah."

Wei Huai just responded in a muffled voice, then left the embroidery workshop holding the brocade box.

But before walking out, he couldn't help but secretly open the box and take a look.

He only took a quick look at the clothes made of thin and translucent material and quickly put the box away.

Now that summer has begun and the weather is hot, he is just being considerate of his lady.

Well, that’s what I thought.
