Chapter 304: Accompanying

Prime Minister Fu poured a glass of wine for Ye Luo and said in a low voice, “I met Hero Gao some time ago. I wonder if he’s still in the capital.”

“Gao Xu?”

Ye Luo was surprised. “He’s in the capital too?”

Chu Sihan explained, “When the eldest young master of the Shi Mansion got married, Uncle-Master came for the wedding banquet.”

Ye Luo nodded slightly. “In that case, you’ve met your Uncle-Master too?”

“Yes.”

He even gave him a disciple.

“Before I entered the capital, I saw him in Beiyi Country once. However, I did not hear him say that he was coming to Xuan Yue Country.”

Chu Sihan said coldly, “He might not have decided to come then.”

“That’s true.”

After three rounds of drinking, they were already tipsy.

Before keeping the table, Ye Luo poured the remaining wine into his wine gourd.

He cherished wine, especially fine wine. He could not bear to throw even a drop away.

Matriarch Fu had prepared a carriage full of New Year goods for Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan. Most of them were dried fruits. There were also some sweet pastries.

The Chu Mansion no longer had children, and Chu Sihan could not be bothered to bring them back. Hence, he took the initiative to give the cart of New Year goods to Lu Sheng.

When they left the capital the next day, Lu Sheng left some for Ye Luo and the State Minister.

When she, Chu Sihan, and Chu Yun reached the city gate, they saw a carriage parked in the snow.

There were three people standing beside the carriage. One was Fu Sisi, while the other two were Shi Yi and Yun Ting.

Unlike the past two days, Fu Sisi seemed exceptionally excited today.

She heard from Grandmother last night that Cousin and Miss Lu were returning to Huang Yang Town. Hence, she came here early in the morning to wait for them.

However, to her surprise, Shi Yi and Yun Ting were there too.

The moment she saw Yun Ting, all her bad feelings disappeared.

“Sisi? Why are you here?”

Chu Sihan was not surprised to see Shi Yi and Yun Ting.

That was because he had sent them a letter last night.

However, he was surprised to see Fu Sisi here.

“I want to return to Huang Yang Town with you. I miss Brother, Sister-in-law, and Ah Shuo.”

Afraid that Chu Sihan would not let her follow them, she hurriedly held Lu Sheng’s arm and said pitifully, “Miss Lu, you won’t despise me, right?”

“No.”

Lu Sheng smiled and shook her head.

It was a long journey back to Huang Yang Town. It was naturally better to have someone to talk to.

“Cousin, did you hear that?” Fu Sisi raised her chin and said, “Miss Lu said she doesn’t mind.”

Chu Sihan frowned slightly. “Have you told your family?”

“I’ve told Grandmother. I only came because she agreed.”

If Grandmother did not agree, how would she dare to come alone?

“In that case, get on the carriage.”

Chu Sihan glanced at Yun Ting and said lightly, “You and Sheng Sheng can ride together.”

Seeing Yun Ting’s unwilling expression, Chu Sihan could only bear with the pain and give up his position to his cousin.

Someone like Yun Ting, who did not mean what he said, would pay the price one day.

His intuition had never been wrong.

“Oh!”

Fu Sisi glanced at Yun Ting, pouted, and replied disappointedly.

Although she liked Lu Sheng a lot, she still wanted to ride with Yun Ting.

Lu Sheng scanned the two of them and suggested faintly, “Lord, you and Young Master Shi can ride with me. Let Miss Sisi and Young Master Yun ride together.”

“I’m happy to!”

Shi Yi was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

Chu Sihan glanced at Yun Ting. Seeing that he did not object, he nodded slightly.

Although Shi Yi was an extra, he was still very happy to be able to ride with the girl.
