The little sister is a troublemaker

Chapter 16 Do you believe this is a coincidence?

The next morning, several people packed their luggage and prepared to leave.

Chu Jie's eyes were slightly red, and he obviously didn't sleep well. Li Mulan didn't say anything when she saw it, because many things couldn't be solved by her in a few words. But after last night, she became more interested in Chu Jie's identity.

The village chief also came with a group of people to see them off. They were the same people from last night, and they brought a few bags with them.

"My dear benefactors, these are some food prepared by the women in the village overnight. Please accept them. Although... they are not precious things, they are also our thoughts. Please don't despise them."

Huo Yuanruo stepped forward and took over a few bundles, saying without any politeness, "Thank you, Village Chief. We need to hurry on our way, and these foods will come in handy. We won't be polite."

The village chief saw this and smiled. "That's good. Originally, everyone in the village wanted to come and see our benefactor off, but I didn't agree because I was afraid of disturbing them." Then he looked at Li Mulan. From what happened last night, it seemed that this girl was the one who made the decision. "Lady, I have something to ask you."

Li Mulan took two steps forward and said, "What is it? Please tell me, Village Chief."

"We have already... dealt with those beasts yesterday, but that woman said she was also the daughter of a good family and was captured by those beasts. She said she did not do it voluntarily. Moreover, she said she was just following orders and did not do anything evil. I don't know..."

Li Mulan narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness. "Did the village chief ever interrogate the people who were with her?"

"Well, after the interrogation, it's still a dog-eat-dog situation. I don't know which one is true and which one is false. I don't want to... kill a good person by mistake, so I'll spare her life for now." The village chief was a little helpless.

When Li Mulan heard the village chief say that dogs bite dogs, she knew that he had a plan in mind. She didn't know why he kept the woman.

She considered her words carefully. "Maybe she was a girl from a good family in the past. But she has been able to live well with these beasts all these years. If she says she has done nothing wrong, do you believe it? I think she is much smarter than those men in terms of methods, otherwise you, the village chief, would not be so embarrassed now."

The village chief shook his head helplessly, "Oh, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."

"Although we didn't see her kill anyone, she wanted to do it yesterday, but she didn't succeed. I don't believe that such a person has no blood on her hands."

The village chief nodded seriously, then bowed to Li Mulan, "I also know that this woman is definitely not a simple person, but she is good at acting pitiful, which makes some villagers speak up for her, so... But after hearing what my benefactor said, I know what to do."

Li Mulan nodded and didn't stay any longer.

After leaving the village, Chu Jie has been silent.

"Xiaojiu, let's go buy a carriage in the next town."

Li Mulan looked at the bags and Xiaojie and nodded, "Okay, we'll probably have to stay in Xiangyun City for a while, so it would be more convenient to have a carriage. By the way, Xiaojie?"

Chu Jie raised his head and looked at Li Mulan in confusion.

"You haven't told me where you're going."

"I..." Chu Jie pursed his lips, "Sister Lan, can I go with you to Xiangyun City?" He didn't say that his destination was actually in Xiangyun City.

Li Mulan smiled playfully, "Why? Don't you want to go home?"

Chu Jie lowered his head and said nothing.

"Okay, I'm worried about you being a little kid, so just follow us. But...your family will probably be worried, right?"

Chu Jie frowned. He thought that person was the only one who was worried, but... he still wanted to do things his way. Having made a decision, he would not compromise easily.

"It's okay, I... I will send a message to my family." When he arrives in Xiangyun City, he will find a way to contact his people.

"Okay, as long as you know what's going on. Haha, great, we can spend more time together."

Chu Jie also smiled when he heard this. He was not a child who was easy to please. In fact, he was more difficult to get along with than many adults. But for Li Mulan, although they had only been together for two or three days, he just trusted her for no reason. Maybe this was fate. However, if that person knew about this, he would definitely scold him for being too gullible.

Chu Jie felt a little disappointed when he thought of this. It seemed that it would be difficult for him to satisfy that person. Although he had tried very hard, it seemed that he still could not meet his requirements...

"Master, we found the young master." Shinichi, who is usually calm, is a little excited at this moment.

"Where?" Chu Chenfeng put down the book in his hand, looking lazy.

"It was Xing Er who sent the news. Your subordinate..." Xing Yi hesitated for a moment, "Your subordinate sent Xing Er to investigate the girl who said you were a "beauty" and found that the young master was following them to Xiangyun City."

"Oh?" The man's expression changed slightly at this moment, and then he chuckled, "That's really a coincidence. Xingyi, do you believe this is a coincidence?"

He paused, "We have investigated, but didn't find anything... Master, rest assured, I will continue to investigate and will never let you fall into danger."

Chu Chenfeng didn't know what he was thinking of, and ordered, "Don't expose yourself for now, just follow in secret."

"Not taking the young master back?" Xing Yi was puzzled.

"Since he wants to go, let him go. He will grow up one day, and I can't stay with him forever." Chu Chenfeng had no expression on his face, tapping the table with his fingers, "Is the arrangement in Beijing OK?"

"Master, rest assured, with Young Marquis Gu here, there will be no problem."

"Oh, shouldn't there be more problems with him around?"

Xing Yi was speechless for a moment and touched his nose, "Young Marquis Gu... has never had any problems with major matters, and Xing Si is here too."

Gu Changqing, who was far away in Kyoto, was writing furiously on a table full of memorials. Suddenly, he sneezed a few times. He rubbed his nose and said, "It's not cold today. Someone must be saying bad things about me behind my back. It must be that bastard Chu Chenfeng."

"Young Marquis Gu has arranged the master's thirty-seventh time today, and the fourth row has been recorded." A cold male voice sounded slowly.

Gu Changqing rolled his eyes and said, "Xing Si, if you are bored, you can come and help me review the documents."

"The master has instructed that these must be reviewed by Young Marquis Gu himself. Xing Si dare not interfere."

"Hmph, Chu Chenfeng is just jealous of my carefree life. He even tried to cheat me after leaving Beijing. This sinister villain, wait until he comes back..." Gu Changqing said gritting his teeth.

"The thirty-eighth time."

Gu Changqing paused, and became even angrier, "I will definitely settle the score with him."

"Hmm~ The master must be looking forward to Master Gu coming to settle accounts with him."

"You!" Oh, this life is unbearable. I can't afford to offend the master. Even my subordinates are black-hearted. I can't afford to offend them.
