Xie Qiao thought she had met a competition.
However, she could not refute her. Feng Yingying’s hand palms were like rings. It was really like what she had said, she would gather energy and wealth.
“Yes.” Xie Qiao nodded, resigned to her fate. “Your calculation is really accurate.”
“That’s right.” Feng Yingying grinned.
Just then, Yu Xian returned.
“I still haven’t managed to get out! The road is indeed hard to recognize. Are we just waiting for people to come get us?” Yu Xian asked, “But what if the horse is stolen on the way? Can it really recognize its way back?”
“Yes.” Xie Qiao believed in herself.
“Well, but even if it can’t, I’m not afraid. I see a lot of wood and vines here. I can make ropes with them. I’ll try again tomorrow. This mountain isn’t big, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get out.”
It was just a small slope in a dense forest, how could it trap her?
Xie Qiao was struck again, and she said, “Tomorrow, when the Yang energy is sufficient, I can lead us out with a compass.”
The compass was useless now.
The evil energy was strong, and the aura was not right. Therefore, the direction of the compass was not accurate now.
Yu Xian and Feng Yingying nodded in agreement.
“Young Lady Xie, you don’t have to feel too much pressure. We chose this ourselves. We can bear it ourselves,” Yu Xian said after a while.
Xie Qiao was really helpless.
Why did she disguised into Mo Chusheng?
This was one of the reasons!
Her appearance and temperament were just like a young lady. She could not intimidate people at all. Even Zhao Xuanjing treated her as a liar when he first saw her and wanted to send her to the government!
These people had poor taste!
The sky darkened bit by bit. Xie Qiao kept looking around. The situation was still okay.
She ate something with them to fill her stomach.
At this moment, Wen Lancheng had arrived at the Xie Residence and was ready to pick up his future wife.
“The First Young Lady and the others are not back yet…” the steward was also a little anxious. “When they’re out late, they would usually get the coachman to come home first to inform us…”
Xie Pinggang had arrived with Wen Lancheng. When he heard that, he immediately arranged, “Send someone to the market to look for them.”
After saying that, he asked Wen Lancheng to wait in the house.
However, after waiting for two hours, there was still no news.
“First Young Master! Bad news. The horse is back, but the First Young Lady isn’t home! There’s a letter!” The steward did not dare to read the letter, but he felt that something was not right.
Could it be that they had encountered robbers?
The letter was to ask for money?!
Those jerks!
After cursing in his heart, he suddenly remembered that the family used to be bandits, so he quickly said, “First Young Master, you know many people. Quick, take a look. Which fool would dare to do such a thing at the foot of the capital city?!”
Wen Lancheng glanced at the steward.
The steward was daring.
Xie Pinggang calmly opened the letter and read it.
After reading it, he handed the letter to Wen Lancheng. Wen Lancheng quickly glanced at it and was puzzled. “What does going after the ghouls mean?”
There were not many words on the letter. Young Lady Xie said that she saw a few strange things, so she went after the ghouls. However, she had chased them too far and could not return now. She planned to sleep in the wilderness and return the next day.
When she wrote the letter, she did not notice that she was trapped, so she did not say that it would be a scary night for them.
In addition, Xie Qiao also doodled the path outside and told Xie Pinggang that there was food and drink in the carriage, so it would not be a problem for them to stay there for the night..
