Mu Linger was originally feeling awkward that Han Yunxi had rescued her, but the woman’s words only shamed her into fury. “Who told you to save me? Meddler!”

Han Yunxi was too busy to stay and argue, but once again, Mu Linger ran in front of the carriage and blocked their way. Gu Qi Sha quietly toyed with the hidden weapon in his hands that he hadn’t gotten the chance to launch out, his thin, bony fingers playing with the object. He didn’t seem in a rush to leave, either.

But Long Feiye’s patience had limits. He sternly asked the driver, “What’s the holdup!”

Mu Linger could clearly hear the angry undertones in his voice, but her desperation won out against her fear. “Hold it, Han Yunxi, I just have one question for you!”

“I’m telling you for the last time, we aren’t the ones who locked up Mute Granny!” Han Yunxi had lost her temper as well.

But Mu Linger only stared at her for a long time before asking faintly, “Do you know where my Qi gege went?”

She couldn’t even afford to pay for a room at the inn anymore, so she’d gone collecting plants in the mountains so she could sell them off to the local pharmacies for silver. Instead, she’d ran into bandits. Although there were plenty of medicinal plants in the wild, not all of them were worth money. A full basket’s worth still couldn’t pay for half her room rent since she was staying at Tianning capital’s most expensive establishment. Moreover, the two letters she’d received from her father yesterday and the day before yesterday were full of exhortations for her to go home. If Qi gege wasn’t going to show up, she didn’t know what she’d do next. She was determined to leave her family and go wandering all over the world, but the person who was to be her companion was nowhere to be found.

When Han Yunxi caught the glimpse of disappointment in Mu Linger’s eyes, she felt her heart ache and wondered if she was mental. Why would she feel sorry for the rotten brat who’d cursed her out and pushed her towards her death?

Well alright, she was actually looking for Gu Qishao too! Heaven knows where that devious man had ran off to.

“You’re asking the wrong person. Your Qi gege isn’t on close terms with me,” she said irritably.

By their side, Gu Qi Sha’s fingers noticeably stiffened at her words before he quickly recovered and pretended that he’d heard nothing at all.

Mu Linger grew incensed. “Qi gege treats you so well, but you still say you aren’t close to him! How could you act like this?”

Han Yunxi only felt a chill down her back at these words. She didn’t dare turn around and look at Long Feiye’s current expression. This stinkin’ lass, she’s simply seeking trouble for Gu Qishao!
