Feng Jin had just begun to feel sleepy, and was about to fall asleep when Chu Qing outside the carriage called out in a hurry.
"Young Madam... Young Madam..."
Feng Jin was startled awake by the hurried calls and quickly got up, instantly alert.
"What is it? What happened?"
Thinking something else had happened, Feng Jin's nerves instantly tensed as she hastily inquired.
"It's... it's Cai Qing sister, she sent a message by carrier pigeon."
Chu Qing said breathlessly, handing the letter in her hand to Feng Jin.
Feng Jin quickly took the letter and read it, finally revealing a smile on her face. After such a long time, she finally received some good news.
"Young Madam is smiling so happily, has something good happened?"
"Naturally, it's good news. Lu Shi's injuries are no longer serious, and he has woken up. After such a long time, it's finally something good to make people happy."
Counting the days, everything that had happened was troublesome, and not a single thing brought joy.
"By the way, Chu Qing, thank you for your hard work running this errand. Tell the Young General this, and let him be at ease."
Although Ling Mo Han didn't say it out loud, she could see that Ling Mo Han was actually very worried about Lu Shi. After all, they were brothers who had fought side by side for many years, accompanying him for so long.
In Ling Mo Han's heart, Lu Shi was by no means just a subordinate. When Ling Mo Han learned of this, he could also be slightly at ease and stop looking so gloomy all the time.
"Yes, this servant will go and tell the Young General now."
Chu Qing was also genuinely happy, after all, only when Lu Shi was better could Cai Qing sister not worry so much.
After agreeing, Chu Qing rushed down to inform Ling Mo Han of the matter.
Feng Jin wrote another letter to Cai Qing, asking her to stay and recuperate with peace of mind, and not to rush back to the capital. Everything should wait until Lu Shi's injuries had improved before making any plans.
The current situation made leaving the capital safer. If possible, she wished Cai Qing could wait until everything was over before returning to the capital.
As they were about to arrive at the capital, Feng Jin could not help but become increasingly nervous. She wondered what the situation in the capital was like now, and what kind of situation they would face upon their return. It was all still unknown.
Feng Jin sighed helplessly. In the current situation, all she could do was take it one step at a time.
Thinking too much now was useless. She could only take it one step at a time and make plans after arriving at the capital.
Not long after, Chu Qing returned: "Young Madam, this servant has informed the Young General as you instructed."
Feng Jin nodded slightly in response, hoping that Ling Mo Han's mood would improve slightly after knowing this.
"I'll take a nap. Call me if anything happens."
Her eyelids kept drooping, and she really couldn't hold on any longer. She would discuss other matters after waking up.
Feng Jin yawned, found a comfortable spot, and fell into a deep sleep.
When Feng Jin woke up again, it was already dark. Chu Qing was long gone from the carriage, with only a faint candlelight flickering in the darkness.
"Chu Qing... Chu Qing..."
Feng Jin called out twice, but only silence answered her.
After a pause, Feng Jin got up to go out. As soon as she stepped out of the carriage, the scent of roasted meat filled her nostrils.
Having not seen meat for several days, Feng Jin's appetite was immediately whetted. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and followed the aroma.
"Young Madam, you're awake. This servant caught a rabbit and is roasting it for you. You've arrived just in time."
Feng Jin's gaze fell on the rabbit in Chu Qing's hand. She silently mourned for the innocent rabbit for three minutes, but at the same time, she desperately wanted to take a bite of the rabbit to taste it.
"Here, Young Madam, please have a taste."
Tearing off a rabbit leg, Chu Qing handed it to Feng Jin.
Feng Jin, who was already starving, took it without any politeness and began to devour it.
She had to admit that Chu Qing's skill in roasting rabbits was indeed excellent. Feng Jin was also hungry, so she couldn't help but eat more.
After a satisfying meal, Feng Jin patted her slightly rounded belly with satisfaction. The feeling of being full was truly wonderful.
"Young Madam, have some more. This servant has also roasted a wild chicken."
Chu Qing was very fortunate that she had not only caught a wild rabbit, otherwise, it would really not have been enough for the two of them to eat.
"I'm full."
Feng Jin looked at the half-eaten roasted rabbit, feeling a little embarrassed. She had eaten too much without restraint, which was also because Chu Qing's roasting was too delicious.
"I'll roast the rest. You go and eat something quickly."
Feng Jin felt too embarrassed to let Chu Qing continue to go hungry, so she took the initiative to roast the wild chicken.
Her technique was naturally not as skillful as Chu Qing's, but she still managed to roast it somewhat. Although it was a bit burnt, it did not affect the taste.
After roasting, Feng Jin couldn't resist taking a bite. The taste was still decent, at least edible.
"You two are eating quite well."
Ling Mo Han looked at the slightly burnt, unrecognizable object in Feng Jin's hand and said jokingly.
This remark startled Chu Qing so much that she choked on the food in her mouth and coughed violently.
"Cough... cough... cough"
Feng Jin quickly opened the water flask beside her and handed it to Chu Qing: "Drink some water to help it down."
After drinking several gulps of water, the food stuck in her throat was finally swallowed. Chu Qing's face was slightly flushed. She was so embarrassed to be choked by food.
"How is it? Are you feeling better?"
"This servant is fine. I've worried Young Madam."
"That's good. Eat some more."
She deliberately tore off a piece of the non-burnt part and handed it to Chu Qing.
"No, this servant is full. This servant will go and make the bed first."
She dared not eat any more and quickly got up and walked towards the tent.
"Sigh..." Feng Jin's outstretched hand was lowered again, the words of persuasion stuck in her throat.
After Chu Qing left, she turned her attention to the uninvited guest: "Your face looks like it's written with a few words right now."
Ling Mo Han looked at Feng Jin with a confused gaze: "What do you mean?"
Feng Jin bit into the roasted chicken in her hand helplessly, her gaze distastefully scanning the man: "The words 'do not approach' are written all over your face. Don't you see that you've scared Chu Qing away?"
The moment he appeared, he had a clearing effect. Chu Qing was directly scared away.
"I scared her..." Ling Mo Han's tone was full of confusion. For a moment, he truly couldn't understand.
He hadn't even said a word to drive her away, so how did he end up scaring Chu Qing away? This was too illogical.
"You're standing here with a cold face, and who would dare to continue eating with peace of mind? Anyone would want to leave quickly."
