Wei Bingyan had no desire to sleep that night. She knew that as long as her mother knew that Shen Rouruo was in the inn tomorrow, she would definitely ask her to go back to the capital with them. How could she stop them?

If she can't stop it, what kind of emotion should she use to deal with Shen Rouruo?

Shen Rouruo is a very wise person. She will definitely see through my vigilance and disgust towards her. This is not what she wants... People will only reveal their true colors when they are caught off guard. If I want my mother to be wary and distant towards Shen Rouruo, I must let Shen Rouruo reveal her true character, which is indeed not easy.

Since she can't change the process, she must change the final result!

You can't blame Shen Rouruo!

Wei Bingyan told herself deep in her heart that she had already taken revenge in her previous life, Shen Rouruo had died as a result of her scheme, and all the resentment had passed. The most important thing for her in this life was no longer revenge, but to prevent herself and her mother from repeating the same mistake.

Her stated goal is transformation, not a fierce counterattack!

Therefore, whether she hates Shen Rouruo... is no longer relevant. She is better than Shen Rouruo at concealing her purpose and making Shen Rouruo believe her!

It’s really good, that’s it!

Wei Bingyan's mirror world opened immediately. She figured out what she should do and felt like the hard stone in her heart had been put down. Through the thin curtain, she saw darkness outside, but darkness would always be followed by light.

She closed her eyes with a smile and had a good sleep, so that she could gather enough energy to play a wonderful game of chess that would amaze everyone!

The next day, when Wei Bingyan woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside. She yawned contentedly. Bai Binghui outside heard what happened and opened the door.

"Miss, are you awake?" Bai Binghui walked in with a smile and opened the curtain.

"What time is it?" Wei Bingyan put on her clothes with the help of Bai Binghui, and guessed that it should be late.

Bai Binghui replied, "It's already past the Mao hour, and Madam told you to continue sleeping, so it's okay to leave later."

Anxiang came in with breakfast and said with a smile, "Miss, you are awake now. Are you hungry? This breakfast is just warm. It would be better for you to eat something with preserved fruit right away."

After washing her mouth and wiping her face carefully, Wei Bingyan felt refreshed. Looking at the delicious dishes and fragrant porridge on the table, she was already starving.

"Where is Aunt Yin?" Wei Bingyan asked Bai Binghui while eating breakfast.

"Aunt Yin took Xing'er over to watch the luggage being loaded into the car." Bai Binghui replied.

As the housekeeper in Wei Bingyan's room, she naturally took on the management position since Aunt Yin came. Xing'er has always been a womanizer and has not learned her lesson after being scolded by Aunt Yin several times. Every day she thinks about how to outdo the people around Wei Bingyan and has never put her heart into doing things well.

After hearing Bai Binghui's reply, Wei Bingyan just smiled and didn't say much.

When she was in Jinyun, she had been thinking about how to deal with Xing'er, but she had never found the courage to do it. After returning to the capital, she must not delay any longer.

Anxiang stood quietly by. She did not feel envious or jealous of the young lady's cultivation of Bai Binghui and Aunt Yin. Now that she was on her way back to the capital, she actually felt that it was better that way.

Only by being an unremarkable maid in the Wei family can she have a place to live. As for revenge...she can only wait for the opportunity. She has been waiting for many years and doesn't mind waiting a few more years.

Little did they know that Wei Bingyan deliberately treated Anxiang coldly. Only in this way could she better conceal Anxiang's true identity. Anxiang was a very important bargaining chip for Wei Bingyan.

After breakfast, Wei Bingyan took Bai Binghui to Xiao's house.

As soon as she approached Xiao's house, she could vaguely hear the sound of cheerful conversation and melodious laughter. The voice was soft and gentle, and it sounded very familiar to Wei Bingyan's ears.

Guessing who was in Xiao's room, Wei Bingyan frowned and clenched her fists in her sleeves.

Bai Binghui noticed that her young lady's feet were slightly stiff and her face became a little gloomy. What happened? When she took them to the door and saw the graceful green figure inside, Bai Binghui suddenly realized that it was because of the woman she saw the day before.

It's strange. The lady clearly doesn't recognize this girl, so why does she seem to be in a bad mood every time she sees her?

"Mother!" When Bai Binghui was confused, Wei Bingyan's face had gradually regained its smile, as if the sinister and creepy look just now was an illusion. She walked into the house with a warm and gentle smile.

Sitting directly next to Xiao was Shen Rouruo, who was wearing a professional guzheng collar, speaker sleeves, a green gauze shirt and a silver floral skirt. While Wei Bingyan was looking at her carefully, she also raised her head to look over, and realized that the person coming was the young lady she saw outside the inn the day before, and her frown deepened her smile.

Xiao looked very well today. It was probably because he had a good sleep last night, and his mind was clear and bright, with the sky bright and cloudless.

"Hurry up and come over to meet your sister Shen." Xiao called Wei Bingyan to her side and said with a hint of criticism, "I asked you to go out to help Miss Shen the day before yesterday. Who would have known that you were still embarrassed? Fortunately, Miss Shen finally managed to convince the postmaster, otherwise Sister Shen would have been embarrassed after seeing you!"

Wei Bingyan pretended to stick out her tongue mischievously, and looked directly at Shen Rouruo with a face full of shame and guilt, "Sister Shen, please don't blame me. The day before yesterday, I saw that the postmaster resolutely said that he wanted to see the nameplate, and I didn't know what to do for a while... Please don't be angry with me."

Shen Rouruo smiled and said softly, "Miss Wei, don't say that. Even if you helped at that time, you might not be able to change the postmaster's mind. Fortunately, I have the letter written by my uncle, otherwise he would not let me stay in the posthouse. If my silver had not been stolen, I would not have been so angry and would have stayed in the hotel."

"This postmaster is blind and doesn't recognize a great man. Miss Shen, don't bother with such a villain." Xiao patted Shen Rouruo on the back. Today, she looked up and knew that the person living in the side room opposite was General Shen's niece. She immediately asked someone to send some snacks over.

After a while, Shen Rouruo came over in person to express her gratitude.

After talking with Shen Rouruo for a while, Xiao secretly developed a liking for this docile, generous, intelligent and clever young lady, and couldn't help but feel closer to her.

"I have seen many people like this since I was a child, so how could I take him to heart?" Shen Rouruo said with a smile. She didn't care at all about the rudeness of the postmaster the day before.

Anyone who meets Shen Rouruo for the first time and communicates with her will inevitably like her gentle and docile nature. She has a good temper, a nice voice, and good looks, not to mention that she is always humble, polite and generous.

If Wei Bingyan had not witnessed another side of Shen Rouruo in the past, she would never have believed that this beautiful woman who seemed like a fairy in colorful clothes in the eyes of others could be such a poisonous person like a centipede.

"In that case, why don't we go back to the capital together so we can help each other on the way." Xiao said with a smile.

Shen Rouruo smiled awkwardly, "To be honest with you, Madam Wei, when I was at a tea shop on the official road to Lingshan City, the backpack in my carriage was stolen. Not only was the nameplate gone, but all the silver I had, except for the exquisite accessories on my body, was stolen. I'm really in crisis now..."

Xiao heard this and said, "In this way, you will return to the capital with us. I am worried about you going alone. When you return to the capital, our Wei family will not be able to face General Shen and Madam Shen. It's a deal. Don't argue with me."

Wei Bingyan didn't have time to stop Shen Rouruo from going the same way as them, and the Xiao family had already made the decision, leaving her no chance.

Shen Rouruo looked at Xiao with gratitude, "Mrs. Wei, thank you very much. I'm sorry to bother you."

"Don't be so polite." Xiao said with a smile.

Shen Rouruo glanced at Wei Bingyan and saw an unhappy look on her face. She was a little surprised. She didn't seem to recognize Wei Bingyan, but she had a feeling that Wei Bingyan wanted to distance herself from her and didn't like her being with them.

She must have thought too much. Wei Bingyan clearly treated her with a smile.

"Yes, Sister Shen is short of money, and it is not good for her to go back to the capital like that. It will be very safe for her to go back with us." The gloomy look on Wei Bingyan's face disappeared in an instant, and soon a quiet, peaceful and bright smile appeared again.

In this way, Shen Rouruo and the Xiao mother and daughter returned to the capital together.

After Xia Yuezhu replied and said that the luggage had been loaded into the car, Xiao told everyone to get ready to set off and took Shen Rouruo's hand, asking her to ride in the same car with them.

Wei Bingyan clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, her sharp fingernails almost digging into her flesh. Only the pain could calm her down.

"Mom, Sister Shen's own carriage is wide and comfortable. How about asking her to squeeze in with us?" Wei Bingyan pulled Xiao's sleeve, reminding her that their carriage was not very big, and it would be very crowded if Shen Rouruo came.

Xiao glared at Wei Bingyan and said with a smile, "Let Bai Binghui go to the back and ride in the same carriage with Aunt Yin, and leave Xia Yuezhu to serve. There will be more space with Miss Shen."

Shen Rouruo seemed to want to continue talking to Xiao, and said in a pleasant voice, "Mrs. Wei and I have a heart-to-heart talk as soon as we meet. We can travel in the same car. I have always dreamed of it."

Wei Bingyan sighed deeply in her heart, wishing she could tear off Shen Rouruo's mask immediately, but no matter what she said at this moment, basically no one would believe it.

When they walked out of the spacious main gate of the inn, they saw Aunt Qiu and Wei Longrui waiting for them.

"Madam, Miss." Aunt Qiu came forward and bowed to Xiao. "Arui just now insisted on going outside this place to take a look, so I took him out first."

Xiao touched A Rui's head and said to Aunt Qiu, "This is General Shen's niece, Miss Shen, who will be returning to the capital with us."

Aunt Qiu glanced at Shen Rouruo, her eyes flickering with excitement, and she quickly prostrated herself, "Miss Shen."

Shen Rouruo nodded with a smile, her eyes fell on Wei Longrui, and her expression became gentler.

Wei Longrui tilted his neck and looked at Shen Rouruo. His dark eyes suddenly narrowed into a line, revealing a cute smile.

"Mrs. Wei, Junior Sister, it's time to hit the road." Guan Hualang came from behind the carriage, leading the dark and majestic tall horse, and said to Wei Bingyan and the others with a smile. Seeing a strange woman standing next to Xiao, he looked at her twice in confusion.

Shen Rouruo had never met a martial artist as straightforward as Wei Longrui. Her face turned slightly red when she saw the puzzled look in his eyes, which was not deliberately concealed at all, and she hung her head.

Wei Bingyan's eyes were cold. She glanced at Shen Rouruo for a moment, then smiled and said to Xiao: "Mom, let's get in the car!"
