Chapter 1074: Chapter 1068: She Left
“Oh dear, so pitiful!”
In the carriage, Cuiya was quietly telling Miss Du about last night’s events.
“I was let out from the storeroom, initially thinking they were ordinary rchants based on their attire. These bandits often kidnap rchants, so it’s quite normal for them to be enemies with rchants. But then I saw soone I recognized, it was Young Master Jie Zhonglin, and realized they might not be ordinary rchants.”
She lowered her voice and said, “I rember after Young Master Jie left Manxiu Building, he went to East Sea to join his elder brother and enlisted in the military. Their ruthlessness in killing doesn’t seem like that of ordinary rchants, so…”
“Get to the point,” Miss Du interrupted her impatiently.
Cuiya, with tearful eyes, said: “Miss, later I entered the room you were in with Young Master Jie. I saw you tied up on the bed in such an embarrassing pose. I tried to untie you, but those bandits had tied the ropes in a way that the more I tried to loosen them, the tighter they beca.
Then Young Master Jie sent out to fetch so hot water. But I was unfamiliar with the village, everyone alive was locked up, where was I supposed to find water? So I just drew so from the well myself, lit the firewood, and boiled water for you.
But when I ca back, many people were guarding outside the room, firmly prohibiting from entering. I could faintly hear your voice continuously calling for Young Master Jie throughout most of the night. The water cooled down, and I had to reheat it before finally bringing it in.”
She secretly glanced at Miss Du, who was close to dying from sha, and whispered softly: “You were carried into the bathtub naked by Young Master Jie, he bathed you and then sent out, don’t you rember any of this?”
Inside the carriage, there was silence for a long ti until the rchants finished restocking and planned to resu their journey. Only then did everyone see the two won co out one after another.
Jie Zhonglin hurriedly stuffed a packet of pancakes into a nearby soldier’s hand and strode towards Miss Du.
“Xintong, I…”
“Don’t speak, don’t talk to .” Miss Du, with a pained expression, didn’t look at him and quickly walked towards another rchant caravan at the station.
“What’s wrong?” Left with no choice, Jie Zhonglin had to grab Cuiya.
Cuiya, looking at Jie Zhonglin as if he were an enemy, angrily said: “My mistress will not travel with a shaless person like you, we should each go our own way, goodbye! Oh no, never see you again.”
Miss Du traded a jade bracelet from her wrist for acceptance into the rchant caravan.
This caravan was heading to Liangcheng in Xining, which was exactly where Miss Du also intended to go.
“Store Manager!” A soldier, sowhat worried, looked at Jie Zhonglin; that’s how they addressed him outside since they were part of a rchant group.
“No worries, let’s move on.”
Miss Du had already started traveling with Cuiya following the rchant caravan ahead.
Their general is pitiful indeed!
The soldier sighed helplessly.
“Who exactly is that girl?” Still, there were those who were overly curious and couldn’t help but ask.
Thinking about the perilous nature of his current mission, unsure if he ever would have another chance to talk about her, Jie Zhonglin bitterly smiled and said, “She used to be my wife, officially married. But I didn’t treat her well, and she ended up divorcing . Now that I want to treat her well, she no longer gives a chance.”
