Yang Wei bowed and said, "Sister Yao, Yang Yu and I will be leaving first. We've been busy with the shop renovations these past few days, and we still have a lot of things to deal with. Let Zhuangzi and Miss Chunxing escort you first. We're not far from the manor now."
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you are really scared, I can give you a ride."
Luo Shuiyao waved her hand. "Alright, go ahead and get busy. I think the road ahead shouldn't be dangerous. Please help Sister Yue Niang. The sooner the shop opens, the sooner I can rest assured."
"Okay, Sister Yao, Yang Yu and I will take our leave first." Yang Wei bowed, and then the two turned around and strode away.
Luo Shuiyao watched the two men leave, then called Chun Xing and Zhuangzi to get on the carriage.
The driver Qian Gang leaned against the shaft of the cart, watching the dramatic scene in a daze.
Seeing several people getting on the carriage, he finally came to his senses. He looked at Luo Shuiyao and the others with a strange expression, then looked in the direction of the wailing coming from the bushes by the roadside, not knowing where to start.
Zhuangzi sat beside him as usual and gestured for him to drive. "Uncle Qian is a wise man, and this incident is not my young lady's fault. I hope Uncle Qian can be lenient and not tell the Marquis and his wife."
Uncle Qian sighed slightly, not knowing whether to be thankful that Zhuangzi hadn't threatened him, or thankful that he was considered a wise man. Then he shook his head. He didn't care; it wasn't something he could influence.
He then nodded in agreement and drove the carriage towards the farm.

On this side, after leaving Chunhua Court that night, Ye Yunzhou rushed back to Yinlongsi overnight.
Ye Yi had been sent out of town to handle affairs recently and had just returned today. However, he did not expect to hear a "thump" sound coming from outside in the middle of the night.
He opened the door and walked out, and saw Ye Yunzhou fainted on the ground with a red face.
Ye Yi was immediately anxious and quickly called for the doctor to come and examine him. The doctor's diagnosis was dire: his condition hadn't improved in the past few days. He hadn't rested properly, and the constant travel, coupled with a recurring illness from his time on the battlefield, had left him unconscious several times. If the doctor hadn't repeatedly warned Ye Yi not to tell his family, Ye Yi would have rushed out to tell the Marquis.
After being unconscious for a day and a night, he woke up again. The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask if he had told the family.
Ye Yi shook his head and muttered, "Prince, how can you be so careless about your body? If anything goes wrong, the Marquis will definitely skin me alive."
Ye Yunzhou frowned slightly and stood up. "No, my father is not that kind of person. Don't tell my family about this. I just need to rest for a day or two."
Ye Yi's face was filled with worry. "Prince, your old illness has relapsed. It won't heal in just a day or two of rest. What if..."
Ye Yunzhou interrupted him, "There's no chance of an emergency, so this is it. I don't want them to worry, especially my mother, who is already in poor health."
Ye Yi had no choice but to obey Ye Yunzhou's orders, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must take better care of the prince and not let him work so hard anymore.
Ye Yunzhou didn't know what he was thinking, so he forced himself to stand up and asked Ye Yi to take out a brand new memorial.
Ye Yi hurriedly did as he was told and handed the memorial to Ye Yunzhou.
Ye Yunzhou took it, dipped it in ink, and began writing on the memorial. His handwriting was strong and vigorous, and despite his discomfort, his writing was coherent and clear. He recorded some important matters and the reasons for his illness in the memorial, preparing to present it to the emperor.
As he wrote, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and his face became paler.
Ye Yi watched from the side, feeling distressed but not daring to say anything. He could only silently prepare tea and a towel for him.
After Ye Yunzhou finished writing, he gently put down his pen and let out a long sigh.
"Ye Yi, please send this memorial to the palace as soon as possible." Ye Yunzhou ordered.
Ye Yi took the memorial and looked at him worriedly. "Prince, I'll take it to the palace right away. You should get some rest first. We can handle other matters once you're better."
Ye Yunzhou nodded and said, "Go quickly."
Seeing this, Ye Yi had no choice but to leave in a hurry with the memorial.
Ye Yunzhou leaned against the headboard and closed his eyes. He only hoped that he could get better soon, as there were still many things waiting for him to do.
Thinking of her resolute and calm look that night, his heart couldn't help but ache slightly.
He knew that she made those requests simply because she didn't want to be involved with him. Perhaps she still resented what he had done to her, or perhaps there were other reasons, but he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to think carefully over the next few days and think about how to win her heart.
Lying on the bed, Ye Yunzhou was full of thoughts.
Recalling every moment he had spent with her, those beautiful scenes seemed to be still before his eyes. He regretted his impulsiveness and mistakes, and his heart was filled with guilt. Those once warm moments had now become memories that stung his heart.
Inside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Emperor Yuanzhen finished his work and suddenly, as if remembering something, asked Eunuch Su, "Little Su, what's going on with Governor Ye? Why hasn't he come to court these past two days?"
The Yinlong Division was under the exclusive jurisdiction of successive emperors, and the supervisor of the Yinlong Division did not have to attend court every day, but if he did not attend court, he would inform Emperor Yuanzhen in advance.
He was a little puzzled. Ye Yunzhou had always been resolute and had never missed the morning court. Why hadn't he seen him for the past two days? He had said that something was missing these past two days, and it turned out that it was his right-hand man who was missing.
Thinking of this, he asked Eunuch Su.
When Eunuch Su saw that he had finished his work and was about to present the memorial that Ye Yi had sent to the palace, he heard Emperor Yuanzhen ask this. He quickly handed over the memorial in his hand and said, "This was sent by someone close to Ye Dusi. I saw that you were busy just now and did not disturb you."
"Your Majesty, take a look."
Emperor Yuanzhen took the memorial and began to read it. His brow furrowed slightly, a trace of worry on his face. After reading it, he sighed softly, "This Ye Dusi is overworked, and his old illness has relapsed. It is only right that I grant him leave."
"Eunuch Su, please tell the Imperial Hospital to send a skilled physician to examine Ye Dusi and make sure he gets better as soon as possible."
Eunuch Su replied, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will do it right away."
"and many more."
When Emperor Yuanzhen saw him about to turn and leave, he waved and called out to him, "Go and get two of my golden pills and give them to him as well."
Eunuch Su was a little surprised. His Majesty has always attached great importance to these golden elixirs, and he was willing to give two to Ye Dusi.
Emperor Yuanzhen saw the doubt on his face and scolded him with a smile: "Hurry up and go! You are plotting against me in your mind. Be careful or I will chop off your head."
Eunuch Su begged for mercy: "I was wrong. I will do it right away."
But there was no trace of fear on his face.
He grew up with Emperor Yuanzhen and they had a very deep relationship. He could tell at a glance whether Emperor Yuanzhen was really angry or not, so he was naturally not afraid.
Emperor Yuanzhen didn't care and waved his hand to signal him to go down.
