He Ke also carried her downstairs. He straightened her clothes and then led her out.

Yuan Man pulled his hand and said, "We can come back later."

The boy looked down at her, smiled, touched her head, and said "hmm".

Yuan Man was helped onto the carriage by the young man, and then he turned back and rode his horse.

Yuan Man leaned on the small window of the carriage and watched the young man mount the horse neatly. When the young man sat straight, he looked at her at a glance, then rode slowly towards her on his horse.

She quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding.

When she looked up quietly again, the man was already in front of her. He was looking down at her with a smile in his eyes.

Yuan Man felt angry and embarrassed for some reason, so he lowered the curtain and stopped looking at him.

Humph, out of sight, out of mind.

The carriage moves slowly and it takes five days to get from here to the capital.

On the third day, Yuanman woke up in his inn room and felt something was wrong.

It was so quiet. This inn was located in such a busy street, but no one could hear any hawking or greetings.

She lay quietly for a while, and when she felt that there was no one in her room, she slowly got up.

Normally, He Ke would read a book and wait for her to wake up so they could have dinner together, but today he didn't see her.

It didn't even seem like he had come in at all.

She didn't ask Changchun to help her wash, but put on her clothes first.

But there is no water, so she has to wash.

She quietly opened the door and found no one on the third floor.

Her guards and maids were gone.

Yuanman lowered his head and thought for a while, then went back to his room, opened the window and looked out.

There were not many people around here, and the surrounding merchants seemed to have agreed to sell their goods at a farther place. I couldn't even hear any hawking.

Yuanman swallowed and looked down at the inn again.

This is too high.

Finally she decided to open the door and went to He Keye's room next to her.

Well, it's empty.

She opened several rooms in succession, and they were all empty.

Suddenly, I got the courage, went to the second floor, and looked at several rooms, but they were all empty.

She went back to the first floor in one go, but still no one was there.

Yuanman was sitting in a chair in a daze when he suddenly heard some noises in the backyard.

She tiptoed over to see what was going on.

Among the large group of people tied up and kneeling, He Ke sitting on the chair was too conspicuous.

The man also saw her at a glance.

He stood up and walked towards her.

"What's wrong?" the boy asked her with his head down.

Yuan Man suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and said to the man in a coquettish manner: "I woke up alone, and I don't know where you all went."

Regret flashed in the boy's eyes, "I'm sorry, I was delayed because I needed to deal with something here."

In fact, looking at this scene, Yuanman also knew the situation, but she just felt aggrieved for no reason.

"Okay, I'll take you upstairs to wash up, okay?"

"What about here?"

"My dad and the others are here."

After saying that, the boy took her hand and slowly walked out of the backyard, then took her back to the room.

It was as if the world behind him had nothing to do with him.

When they reached the room, he brought her some water for her to wash up.

After washing up, the boy read a book while waiting for the girl to dress up.

The young man felt at ease as he stayed by her side. Yuanman was no longer worried and slowly picked out the dress and jewelry she liked.

After she had packed up, the boy took her downstairs to have breakfast.

The old lady saw them coming down and smiled, "Hurry up, we'll eat first and see if you cry or not."

Yuan Man sat down next to the old lady, lowered his head and whispered, "I see, grandma, you always tease me."

"I won't tease you anymore, let's eat."

After that, everyone started to eat.

After finishing the meal, we continued on our journey.

The carriage was moving at a leisurely pace, and He Ke continued to follow beside her carriage.

Yuan Man lifted the other side of the carriage where the boy was not there to look at the scenery outside. She lay down, the carriage was shaking, and she felt a little drowsy.

The boy's voice came over, "Youyou doesn't want to see me? You said this morning that you were scared when you couldn't see me, but you've changed your mind now?"

Yuanman suddenly came to his senses, and then felt a little ashamed. Why was he saying these things in front of so many people?

Lifting the curtain on the boy's side, he angrily asked, "What is Brother Katsuya talking about?"

The boy didn't seem to want to argue with her, and just said, "Okay, okay, it's all Katsuya-nii's fault, okay?"

Yuanman was speechless and could only hum "Hmph" and then lower the curtain.

"Put it down over there too." The young man's clear voice came again.

Yuanman unhappily lowered the curtain over there as well.

Yuan Man suddenly thought of what happened in the morning and was a little curious, "Brother Katsuya, what happened this morning?"

"I was almost robbed and raped."

Yuan Man frowned, "Is this inn so arrogant?"

"Someone in the boss's family has some power in that place."

"Oh, so what will happen when we leave?"

"Hand it over to the authorities." The young man's voice was a little cold. Those people even had evil intentions towards his Youyou.

Especially the lady and daughter of that family, they actually discussed how much money they could get by selling Youyou.

In that case, why not let them experience the feeling of being sold?

The others were dealt with by the government, but he deliberately let these two escape and then had people capture and sell them.

"But don't they have people?"

"If anyone is afraid of a higher-ranking official, my father and uncle will make them pay for it. Besides, there's also the spit of the civil servants."

"Ok."

Yuanman felt relieved knowing that the bad guys would be dealt with.

Seeing how the surrounding merchants avoided the inn like the plague, I knew that the owner was probably not a good person.

She took a storybook and read it, and fell asleep while reading.

There was no movement in the carriage, so He Ke also lifted the curtain to look.

The girl fell asleep while lying down, and a storybook fell from under her.

He whispered an order and the carriage stopped. He got on the carriage, covered the little girl with a blanket, and adjusted her position so that she would not be uncomfortable when sleeping.

Finally he gently kissed the little girl's forehead.

Only after he came out and mounted the horse did the carriage start moving.

Two days later, Yuanman could no longer hold on. He felt drowsy almost the entire day, yet still very tired.

Fortunately, they will arrive in the capital tomorrow.

Yuanman lay on the bed in the inn, comforting himself, and then closed his eyes.

The next day, Yuanman had lunch in the carriage, then slept until one o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived in the capital.

The people sent by the Guo family led the way.

When they arrived at the gate of Guo’s house, He Ke woke up the little girl.

Yuanman almost cried for joy. She was used to the pampered life of a young lady, and suddenly she had to run around all day long, which was really a bit too much for her.

Mrs. Guo hugged her distressedly, "Youyou."

Mrs. Guo called her over again, "You girl, I'm glad you're back."

Yuanman was acting coquettishly and cutely, and the adults started chatting with her. Yuanman just sat next to Mrs. Guo in a daze.
