Chapter 659: Chapter 441 Departure
Ye Shiqi found that the carriage rely stopped at the entrance of the estate, her carriage and convoy did not enter the estate.
However, a group of people erged from the estate, including carriages and horse-riding guards.
This convoy, they seed to be transporting food.
Ye Shiqi felt in her heart, the old housekeeper was blatant, sending such a large fleet to go outside the border together, he was no longer afraid of the Old Emperor knowing, nor other spies.
It made sense, after all, the soldiers out there were already struggling, and if the court did not help with supplies, then only her own family could send food. Why hide it?
Overtly, it was just right to let the world know.
What concerned Ye Shiqi was whether such a large convoy, travelling such long distances, might encounter bandits and be robbed at so location?
The boss’s family seed to have done this many tis and should have rich experience.
As the carriage was about to leave, Ye Shiqi spoke to Li Zhihao, reminding him not to forget those waters if they encountered ergencies, poisoning, or if soone fell critically ill.
Once Ye Shiqi ntioned it, Li Zhihao understood right away, his niece was worried about the safety of his three daughters, after all, she would be away for several months.
The waters of the Capital City were deep, who knew when an ergency would occur, and such ergencies would be man-made, necessitating their own resolution.
Since arriving in the Capital City, Li Zhihao had seen many important figures and had moved from being nervous to being able to calmly manage affairs.
He was out early and back late every day, and since he could not always stay at ho nor neglect his duties outside,
Ye Shiqi instructed Li Zhihao, they still had to proceed, and they could only bid each other to take care.
When Ye Shiqi was bored in the carriage, she began to close her eyes to rest, and during this rest, images of her elder sisters appeared in her mind, their eyes glistening with tears while escorting her that morning.
That reluctance, that affection.
How could she not be moved as a human, not a plant?
Since entering this era and accepting these family mbers, she had felt warmth from her family every mont.
It wasn’t like before, in her past life, where she had a stepmother and a sister without blood ties who suffered from their sches.
Naturally, there were disharmonious and complex elents in the family. As a reborn person who had seen these shoddy intrigues before, she didn’t even know what the complexities entailed?
Until now, knowing that her father was not actually her grandfather’s biological son, and their grandfather was soone else.
The various complexities that arose at ho in the past could be explained by the fact that their grandmother was indeed unkind to her father because he was not her biological son.
And they, the cheap grandchildren, would beco expendable.
Ye Shiqi could understand why her grandfather was so urgently taking concubines, everyone thought he was lecherous, lecherous because he had money, but only they as a couple knew the secret embedded within.
She dozed off in a daze, and a familiar yet strange face appeared in her dream.
The person called her na, “Tang Shiqi, you said you went ho. Why didn’t you contact ? Why did you die?”
In the dream, Ye Shiqi rembered who this person was, her good friend from her studies abroad, a fellow overseas Chinese. Why would she dream of this person?
It had been many years since her rebirth, and over these years, she never dreamt of this man.
It’s not to say that this man never appeared in her mind when she was awake.
Separated as if by life and death, she appeared here and could never return, that friend might not even know she went ho and died.
That friend might just be a passerby in her life, since they could no longer et, even an enemy might not co to mind on ordinary days, let alone a friend, who could only fade into oblivion.
Ye Shiqi had slept for a very long ti in this dream, listening to this person in the dream say a lot to her.
She even heard words that had never been spoken before.
A confession of love? So this friend, who was like a brother to her, liked her?
In the dream, Ye Shiqi recalled their past and indeed saw a different kind of affection in this man’s eyes.
She tried hard to say sothing in the dream, but it seed like she couldn’t make any more sound; she had thoughts but couldn’t express them.
“Young master, wake up, it’s ti for lunch.”
Ye Shiqi opened her eyes and pulled back the curtain of the carriage, outside was the bright sunshine, and they had stopped at the roadside to rest and eat.
The maid placed dishes and food on the small table in the carriage for her.
Ye Shiqi saw that the people outside were eating buns and dry food; at a glance, beyond the mountains were fields, and villages in the distance.
They had actually not stopped in a place with shops to enter and eat.
Was it going to be like this from now on? This was too much of a disservice to herself.
“Housekeeper, co and eat a bit too.”
The old housekeeper shook his head and said to Ye Shiqi, “Young master, I have dry food here. Let’s eat quickly and hit the road early to find a place to rest at night.”
Ye Shiqi could only nod. She discovered that the al was cooked on a small stove inside the carriage; the ingredients must have been prepared before dawn and had been cooked, cooled, and the rice was freshly boiled, then the dishes were reheated.
This first day was already this hard; she now knew how challenging it would be in the future.
However, she had also prepared a lot of food in her space before setting out, so even if they did not go to so places to buy food, there was enough supply for a month.
This was also because they were just hurrying on their way, avoiding crowded places, and not giving anyone a chance to poison or attack them.
From the old housekeeper’s previous experiences, wherever they went, they ate. If it was a forest, their people would hunt; at riversides, they could also catch fish.
More often than not, they would not stay in inns to save money.
They thought they were being careful and wouldn’t be targeted; how could they know?
So people deliberately caused trouble for them, hiring others to ambush them and steal their food.
And those planning this were not just one group.
The stove in the carriage was continuously boiling water; after they set off in the hot weather, by midday, the guards carrying water bottles had already finished their water.
Boiling water was one of the tasks of this carriage; it had an iron bucket filled with so water for cooking and boiling.
Ye Shiqi secretly added so Space Water into the iron bucket, whoever drank this water would have their fatigue expelled.
By evening, when they had to find a place to stay, their procession entered a bustling city.
This city was only a day’s journey from the Capital City and was not considered remote; the old housekeeper chose to stay here because of the presence of the lady.
They couldn’t just save silver by setting up tents in the wilderness.
Ye Shiqi learned they would be staying in this bustling city, and they also prepared so food and drink for the next day here.
Introduced by the old housekeeper, this city was nad Bian City, with many rivers and water routes; they entered here, and it was possible they would later take water routes, as many places on land required crossing rivers and hiring boats.
