Yang Shi jumped in fright . To prevent them from wasting anymore time, she gave the cloth package that was in her hand to Mu Yunyao . “This are the things that you wanted me to buy . Go quickly, go . ”

Mu Yunyao nodded her head and helped Su Qing onto the carriage . “Uncle Zhao, let’s go . ”

“Alrighty!” The horse gave a light snort and they rode out of Yan city towards the North .

After travelling for about an hour, they reached a fork . “The road on the left leads to Linjiang city, while the other leads to Dongkui city . Where do you ladies want to go?”

(T/N: Linjiang, aka, literally, Overlooking River . In China, it is a county-level city in the southern Jilin province . It is not far from the border of North Korea .

Dongkui, aka, literally, East Chief . No such city in modern-day China . )

Mu Yunyao pushed the curtain to the side and asked, “Uncle Zhao, can you sell this carriage to me?”

“Huh?” Old Zhao thought that he misheard her . “Miss, this carriage is not for sale . ”

“Old Zhao, according to the market prices, the total cost of the carriage and the horse is around 100 silvers . I will give you 400 silvers, 200 will go to you for the carriage and horse, while I must trouble you to pass the remaining 200 to coroner Liu as a thank you gift . What do you say?”

200 silvers, Old Zhao widened his eyes . This girl looked to be quite young and her clothes looked very ordinary . How does she have so much silver?

Mu Yunyao secretly squeezed the drug powder in her hand . When she saw Old Zhao nod his head, she quietly sighed in relief .

(T/Nonsense: What do you think? Clearly Mu Yunyao had that drug in her hand to knock Old Zhao out, but what kind of worst-case scenario do you think Mu Yunyao thought was most probable . )

After taking her silver, Old Zhao taught her how to drive the carriage . When he was done, he left .

Su Qing was a little terrified . This was her first time going somewhere so far .

“Yao Er……”

Mu Yunyao chuckled as she comforted her . “Mother, don’t be afraid . I asked beforehand, from where we are now to Linjiang city, it would only take about 1 hour . When we reach there, we can start to plan . ” As she finished speaking, she hopped into the carriage and opened the cloth bag that Yang Shi handed to her . She put on the male clothes and then reached down to the ground and wiped some dirt onto her face . She sat onto the coachman’s seat and drove the carriage towards Linjiang city .

Since it was winter, there were not many people on their way towards Linjiang city . Mu Yunyao and Su Qing’s hearts were in their mouths until they finally, peacefully reached the gates of Linjiang city .

Mu Yunyao found a quiet spot in the forest and stopped the carriage . She brought Li Shi down and then stroked the horse’s neck . “They say that old horses can recognise their way . We are not far from Yan city, you should know the way back . Go, go find your Master,” As Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she patted the horse’s back . When she saw that the horse had already pulled the carriage to a large distance, she sighed .

“Yao Er, why did you release the horse?”

“Mother, the road to Jiangnan is very long . Going by the land route is way too difficult, we will have to pass by many cities and towns . This would be way too dangerous for just the two of us . Thus, I thought that we should travel by water . It would be much faster that way . A carriage is much too attention-grabbing . There might be people who will start to raise ill-intentions towards us . Why not be a little more low-key, it would save us so much trouble . ”

“En, Yao Er is very clear-minded . ” When she saw that Mu Yunyao was very careful, Su Qing felt much more relaxed . “But, are the two of us able to carry your Grandma all the way?”

Mu Yunyao laughed coldly, “Grandma, as you can see, Mother and I do not have the power to carry you . Why don’t you rest here?”

(T/Nonsense: In peace . )

“Yao Er, I am your Grandmother, you can’t just leave me alone just like that……” Li Shi’s eyes were filled with anxiety . Now, she could only rely on Mu Yunyao and Su Qing . There was no other way for her to survive .

Su Qing’s heart skipped a beat . “Yao Er, in the end, she is still……”

“Mother, do you remember what I told you before? My leg became useless, and yet, how did she treat me? Mother, the fact that we are not going to kill her is already for the sake of Father! Just think about what she has done to us in the past, she knew that the Zhang residence is a terrible place, once you step in you can never step out again . Yet, she still sold us in exchange for silver . Does a person like that deserve your sympathy?”

Su Qing bit down on her lip, hard . A moment’s later, she turned away and walked out of the forest .
