Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 459 Going to Wucheng

Seeing that the light in the room was dim, she took a few more red candles, lit them, placed them on the table, and then replaced the white candles on the candlesticks. Only then was she satisfied.

After tidying up the bedroom, Yue Fuli came out of the bathroom soon. There were still a few drops of water on his face and hair. Although he was wearing a shirt, it was tied tightly and nothing was exposed.

Si He handed him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe the water stains on his face and hair.

He glanced at her, said nothing, and reached out to take it. Although his expression was still rather cold, a hint of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes, which he himself did not even notice.

But she looked at him intently, and naturally noticed this slight change, and her smile deepened.

When she smiled, her eyebrows curved, and her dark eyes flickered, reflecting him fully in her eyes, as if he was her whole world.

Every time he faced her gaze like this, he felt a little uncomfortable. Although he didn't feel disgusted, he still said, "Don't laugh."

Si He's smile froze: ...

Yue Fuli saw that she was obviously stunned, with her eyes wide open, looking at him blankly, and suddenly felt that she was a little dazed.

He turned his eyes away, walked to the side, poured a glass of water, and when he turned his back to her, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

Si He turned around and looked at his back. She couldn't help but pursed her lips, thinking to herself, was she too enthusiastic? Should she be more restrained?

But, it seems like she had the same attitude before?

She blinked, walked forward silently, and carefully studied his expression. When she met his cold gaze, she thought that one day, the coldness on his face would disappear and return to the gentleness she was familiar with.

She restrained her smile and burning gaze, but looked at him eagerly and said, "Shall we have the food served now?"

He responded calmly, "Yeah."

The servants brought the dinner over quickly. Although it was not as sumptuous as the one in the palace, it was still pretty good. There was fish and meat, and the side dishes included stir-fried seasonal vegetables. The combination of meat and vegetables was quite delicious.

These meals are prepared under the supervision of Yue Fuli's people, so there is no need to worry about any problems.

In comparison, the situation of the several girls from the Guo family who were locked up in the house in the backyard of the post station was worrying.

Their dinner consisted of only steamed buns and rice porridge, which was not even as good as the food for servants, let alone the food they had in the palace two days ago. At least there were meat and vegetables then, but now it was like food for prisoners!

Gao Zi said that if they were sick, they had to eat lighter vegetarian food.

They all looked unhappy and dared not say anything, but in order to fill their stomachs, they had no choice but to accept their fate and eat.

Guo Jiamei, like last time, fell asleep in bed and even skipped dinner.

At night, when Si He came out after washing up, there was no one in the house. The servant guarding the front of the house said that Yue Fuli had gone to discuss official business with his subordinates and left a message saying that there was no need to wait for him to rest.

Judging from the situation, maybe he was really busy, or maybe he was deliberately avoiding her. After all, there was no other place to sleep in this room except the bed.

She returned to the bedroom and looked at the made bed, feeling a little disappointed, but it wasn't a surprise.

Given his personality, he had already given her a lot of face, at least he didn't reveal anything in front of the servants.

It's still a long time, so take your time.

She left one candle on, extinguished the others, and went to bed.

That night, he really did not go back to his room to rest, but slept in another room. The servants did not think much of it, but just thought that he did not go back to his room because he was afraid of disturbing her, because it was already late at night when they finished their discussion last night.

In the early morning, the red candle burned out, and the morning light came in through the window, illuminating the dark room a little.

Si He got up early, and after she got dressed and washed up, Yue Fuli came over on time to have dinner with her.

In the eyes of the servants, the two had a harmonious relationship and treated each other with respect.

Yue Fuli looked at her face imperceptibly. She was still as charming as ever, with a bright smile rising like the morning light. She didn't seem to have any resentment for being alone in the empty room. Just like when they went to bed together before, she was not sad because of his neglect.

However, her gaze towards him became more restrained, perhaps because of what she said yesterday.

After breakfast, they set off again, hurrying on their journey.

The team rode non-stop all the way without encountering any trouble. Halfway through, the carriages carrying several girls from the Guo family split up according to Yue Fuli's instructions and were sent to a remote farm near Wucheng to "recuperate."

They lifted the curtains and looked at the separated convoy, and they all burst into silent tears. Guo Jiamei lay in the carriage angrily. She was really sick today, her head was dizzy, and she didn't eat well in the morning. In addition, the bumpy journey almost took half her life.

With them were some maids from the Guo family, all of whom were sent to the farm to do rough labor. They all looked sad, and they could foresee how difficult the days ahead would be.

Without a group of maids, Si He's side only had a few maids and nannies brought from the Yue family, except Gao You and Gao Zi. These people were arranged by Princess Wei. To put it nicely, they were to provide her with more servants, but in fact they were spies planted there. They could only be sent elsewhere after arriving in Wucheng.

We hurried along one day and finally arrived in Wucheng when the sun was setting.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire city seemed to be covered with a layer of golden armor, majestic and magnificent.

The city walls are tall and built of bricks and stones. They have withstood wind and rain and remain indestructible.

There were many soldiers stationed on the city walls and at the city gates. Each of them was wearing armor and holding a spear, with sharp eyes, always alert to the movements in all directions.

The convoy slowly entered the city. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Yue Fuli at the front of the team, they immediately saluted and gave way without any inspection.

It was almost night time now. After entering the city, I saw that many small stalls on both sides of the street had begun to close up. When pedestrians saw this team, they quickly retreated to both sides, stopped and watched, and no one dared to act recklessly.

The streets were relatively quiet. The carriages were moving forward one after another. The sound of the wheels rolling over the cobblestones and the sound of the horses' hooves as they galloped echoed in the streets, as if declaring some kind of silent majesty.

The journey was smooth and soon they finally arrived in front of a mansion.

The carriage stopped in front of the mansion gate. Si He got off slowly and saw that the mansion gate was tall and magnificent, not inferior to the royal palace in Changping City.

The plaque on the gate of the mansion only has the two words "Yue Mansion" written on it. It is said that this was the old residence of the Yue family, but they moved to Changping City later.

After Yue Fuli got off the horse, although he did not come over to help her get off the carriage, he walked to the front of the carriage, waited for her for a while, and gave her the respect she deserved.

Si He looked at him and smiled faintly.

Yue Fuli didn't say anything. He looked away and took her into the house, "Let's go."
