184: Buying Yuanbao (4 more updates)
Xie Zhinuan thought for a moment, then nodded, “Alright!”
If she didn’t learn some martial arts for self-defense, she could only count on herself, and if she encountered thieves, there would be no way to escape.
Suddenly entering her space was a good idea, but she would certainly be regarded as a demon by others.
Li Hengyi also disagreed, his voice soft, “Yuanbao is right, some skills are better not learned. If you want to go out, just tell me, and I’ll have Yuanbao follow you. With his martial arts, it’s not about fighting thousands single-handedly, but against a hundred, he can still manage!”
Xie Zhinuan smiled and nodded slightly.
But in her heart, she still thought that she must have her own people, her own martial arts training.
What’s wrong with being lowly? When facing danger, if one can get away, that is the best skill. She didn’t refute Li Hengyi outright; after all, he had just used his power and status to solve her problems and support her. To argue openly would be too irrational.
The carriage was not moving fast, and soon a rider came up to the window to report, “My lord, Miss Han from the Han Family has caught up!”
“…”
Li Hengyi frowned slightly.
“Pay her no mind!” he said in a deep, low voice.
He sneaked a glance at Xie Zhinuan.
Other young women, upon learning of his identity, would act like this, without any shame, sticking to him. Only she, after knowing, showed no change from before she knew; she didn’t approach him, nor did she reveal any excess emotions. She was the same as before.
She didn’t take him to heart at all.
The feelings between men and women seemed to be nonexistent.

When the carriage arrived at Fengping County, it was still early. Li Hengyi and his team decided to go to the posthouse. Xie Zhinuan pondered for a moment and decided to go along.After all, she still had to cook dinner for Li Hengyi in the evening.
The arrangements were made quickly. The government officials at the posthouse were even faster; they cleaned the rooms spotlessly, handling everything with extreme care as they moved the belongings inside.
Xie Zhinuan had Yuanbao help keep an eye on things, while she had the maiden rig the mule cart and inquired about the location of the pawnshop, heading towards it.
“Miss Xie, do you want me to send someone to follow you?” Yuanbao asked eagerly.
His lord had been in a bad mood ever since they got to the posthouse.
At first, he didn’t understand why, but now it was clear, and naturally, he hoped Xie Zhinuan would go by carriage and take his lord out as well.
“No need, the maiden and I will be fine!” Xie Zhinuan waved her hand, called Routuan and the grey wolf onto the mule cart, “Maid, let’s go!”
“Yes!”
The maiden led Xie Zhinuan away.
Yuanbao stood at the entrance of the posthouse, stamping his foot.
The lord was going to be angry again.
When he went back to report, the expression on Li Hengyi’s face was indeed worse.
“My lord…”
“Get out!” Li Hengyi ordered sharply.
Yuanbao immediately ran off, not daring to get closer to Li Hengyi at that moment.
When he came back out and saw the other courtyard being tidied up, Han Jiaqi was standing at the entrance with her maid. Seeing him, she smiled and approached, “Are you Yuanbao?”
“…” Yuanbao nodded slightly, “Miss Han!”
Han Jiaqi smiled, looked at her maid, who immediately stepped forward and offered a pouch.
Without opening it, Yuanbao knew that it contained a silver note.
At least two hundred taels…
Looking at Han Jiaqi with a faint smile, he asked, “What is the meaning of this, Miss Han?”
“It’s nothing much, just a token of my esteem for your hard work by the prince’s side. Take it and have some tea,” Han Jiaqi said softly, her eyes carrying a determination to succeed.
Yuanbao laughed.
He accepted the pouch, opened it, and saw a silver note for three hundred taels.
He chuckled, “Miss Han, with just this amount of silver notes, you want me to run errands for you. Aren’t you underestimating me, Yuanbao?”
