Yushu looked at Li Yan. Li Yan watched the manservant go out. He stayed for a moment, picked up his chopsticks, and concentrated on eating.

It's not that Pei Qing doesn't want to kill her, but... he can't... The reason why he wants to kill her is probably the same word... What secrets are hidden in Cloudy Villa?

At dawn, the ship docked in Yingchuan. Pei Qing did not come back. He only sent a message. Li Yan did not ask for a doctor and ordered to continue on his way. In the next few days, the ship kept going day and night. The days on the ship were dull and peaceful. Pei Qing never

appeared until the ship entered Runan.

The boat entered the Runan boundary in the middle of the night. Li Yan had just eaten and was drowsy. She had been calm for so many days and was getting farther and farther away from the capital. Her heart was already at ease.

Pei Qing directly opened the curtain and entered the cabin, bringing in a strong cold air. "Go and clean up for the eldest lady." Pei Qing gave Yushu instructions first, then turned to look at Li Yan, "Let's take the land route instead. Let's get off the ship now and cross over."

The sooner the better.”

Li Yan nodded to Yushu, then stood up and put on his shoes, "What happened? Didn't you say you entered Runan?"

"Before entering Duoyun Villa, don't be careless." Pei Qing looked very unhappy, with a hint of anger. Li Yan stared at him for a moment, took the thick cloak from Yushu, put it on himself, and then

He took the hand stove and followed Pei Qing out of the cabin.

There was no moon or stars outside, and even the lanterns usually hanging on the side of the ship were not lit. When Li Yan came out of the bright cabin, his eyes suddenly became dark, and he could not even see Pei Qing, who was just in front of him. Pei Qing was about to go.

He walked forward, then suddenly stopped, turned around and grabbed Li Yan's arm, "Raise your feet higher, this way."

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief and followed Pei Qing for a few steps. Pei Qing paused and said, "I'll carry you off the boat."

The gangplank stretching from the ship to the shore was narrow and long. Li Yan, who was as blind as a blind man, could only take a few steps without missing a step and falling down.

Li Yan didn't say anything. Pei Qing picked her up and got off the boat in a few steps. He simply carried her all the way to the car and put her in the car. Yushu followed closely behind with a small bundle in his arms and got into the car.

The car started moving forward almost immediately. Li Yan reached out and touched around the car. There was a slightly hot smoker, a thick mattress, and complete cushions and quilts.

Yushu dodged Li Yan who was fumbling with his hands, opened the drawers embedded around the carriage, found a candle, a tinder, and started to light it. Before lighting the candle, he hesitated and asked: "Miss, you can't see, do you want to light the candle?"

?”

"No need." Li Yan had already touched the car window, opened it halfway, faced the cold wind that was shaving his face, and looked out into the darkness for a while, then closed the window and said, "It's too dark, there is light.

If so, it’s too eye-catching.”

"I think so too." Yushu put back the candles and other items, moved over and put the mat behind Li Yan, "Miss, would you like some soup? The car has it."

"No need." Li Yan shook her head. The car was going very fast and she didn't want to be in trouble by drinking too much soup.

Li Yan leaned his head on the pillow, wondering what happened as the bumpy car rocked back and forth. Pei Qing's expression seemed a little different from usual...

"Miss!" Yushu, who opened the car window and looked out, suddenly shouted with a bit of fear, "Come and take a look!"

"How..." Li Yan rushed over in a hurry. Before he could finish his words, he saw a huge fire rising in the distance.

"Where is that?" Li Yan asked with a tight throat. She thought about where the fire started, but she couldn't believe it.

"Our ship." Yushu replied in a low voice.

"Maybe it was Pei Qing who set the fire." After a long while, Li Yan and Yushu whispered something, and Yushu closed the car window. In the darkness, Yushu's face was full of sadness, and he was stunned, and he didn't know what he thought of.

At dawn, the car turned into an inn, opened the door, and Pei Qing lifted the curtain from the outside. Looking at Li Yan, who looked a little haggard, he frowned slightly and looked very guilty, "You don't look good... I didn't make arrangements."

…”

"There is a bedding stove, hot tea and hot soup. It couldn't be better." Li Yan straightened up with some difficulty, tied his cloak on Yushu, and moved towards the car door. Pei Qing looked at Li Yan who was having a hard time moving.

Yan hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to hold Li Yan's arm, and helped her out of the car with a little force.

After washing up in the inn and having another meal, Li Yan got in the car and left the inn to continue south.

Li Yan moved to the car window, opened it a little, and looked carefully at the long servants riding horses outside one by one. After reading it here, he moved to the other side and looked again, and he was sure.

The middle-aged servant who delivered the meal that day was at least not among the people outside.

She had only seen that person once that day. After that, every time she brought a suitcase, it was not him. She also went to the kitchen for an excuse. He was a cook, a cook's apprentice. Without him, who was that person? He was a bastard.

The person who came in was... or was he Pei Qing's servant? What did he mean by that?

After seven or eight days of bumping around in the car, Li Yan got on the boat again at a small dock. Of course, this was another half-old boat.

The layout on the ship was similar to that of the burned ship, but Li Yan's body was not as good as the last time she got on the ship. Last time, she could easily get on the ship. This time, she was

He was half-dragged and half-carried into the cabin by Yushu.

Li Yan didn't see when Pei Qing got on the boat, and she almost didn't pay attention to other things.

Li Yan leaned on the couch, leaning against the stove, and slowly ate half a bowl of rice. After a break, she drank another half bowl of chicken soup. Although she had no appetite, she had to eat well. She wanted to live well.

, live until the day it becomes clear.

From the crack in the window, Pei Qing looked at Li Yan, who was swallowing his food hard. He couldn't understand what he felt in his heart. There was admiration, sighs, disdain, emotion, irritability... and he was jumping one after another.

I feel so distressed and unbearable...

After watching Li Yan finish his meal and finish the half bowl of chicken soup, Pei Qing walked around to the cabin door, knocked on the door, lifted the curtain and entered the cabin.

Li Yan looked at Pei Qing, who was a bit dusty compared to the first time he left the capital. He supported the couch with both hands, tried hard, and then fell back. He looked at Pei Qing with a wry smile, "I can only be rude.

"

"To make you so tired..." Pei Qing couldn't bear to look away, "Gaoliang said your pulse is fine, but you are too tired. You have to take a good rest on this ship for the past few days. It will take about a month before you can return.

To Cloudy Villa, I'm afraid we'll have to walk overland for a while."

Li Yan smiled and nodded, raising his hand to signal Pei Qing to sit down and talk. "As you can see, I will eat as much as I can if I can eat one more mouthful, and I will try my best to sleep as much as I can if I can sleep for a while longer. No matter whether I can make it to Cloudy Villa alive or not...
