Chapter 484 - 179 Bowing Down
Yueyao was not as miserable as Bai Yi had described. She strolled leisurely down the mountain, which looked more like a leisurely walk than a hurried journey.
Yueyao was in no rush, and Xiang Wei and Hua Shaoye were even less so, only Xi Yu was impatient.
Xi Yu anxiously said, "Miss, it’s not safe up here on the mountain. Can we make it down before it gets dark?" Xi Yu didn’t aim to humble her lady, but she was worried about being unable to reach the base of the mountain before nightfall, which would mean having to spend the night outside. It was dangerous in the wilderness.
Xiang Wei said with a smile, "If you could walk a little faster, we could reach the base before dark." It was certain they wouldn’t return to the Capital City before nightfall, but there were households at the base of the mountain. Staying with a farm family wouldn’t be too bad.
Xi Yu quickly shut her mouth; among the four of them, she walked the slowest.
Xiang Wei turned her head to ask Yueyao, "Miss, are we really going down the mountain?" She felt Yueyao was a very rational person and wouldn’t just leave out of anger over something Mingzhu said.
Yueyao laughed and said, "If we do not take drastic measures, how can we control her?" That bad temper was truly not something many people could bear.
Xiang Wei couldn’t help but smile. Indeed, only someone with Yueyao’s disposition could rein in Mingzhu. This time, the Heir’s Wife had found the right person for the task.
Seeing Xi Yu with sweat covering her forehead and hardly able to lift her feet, Yueyao laughed and rested under a large tree by the road.
