After hearing these words, Chu Chenyi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, eagerly standing up and shouting angrily, "Why should I go? Haven't you been fully in charge of this matter!"
This was all Ling Mohan's business, how did it end up on him.
"I have other matters to attend to, so these trivial matters will be temporarily handed over to you."
After Ling Mohan finished speaking, without waiting for Chu Chenyi to retort, he directly pulled Feng Jin's hand and walked out.
"Why are you pulling me? I have to stay here tonight."
She had promised Lin Yuwei and couldn't just leave with Ling Mohan.
"No!" Ling Mohan said decisively, then tightly held Feng Jin's hand and walked out.
"Ling Mohan, you... let go..."
Feng Jin said helplessly, tugging hard, but still couldn't move an inch. In the end, she gave up and could only follow Ling Mohan.
"Tell Lin Yuwu that I'm leaving tonight and will come to see her tomorrow."
Turning to shout loudly in Chu Chenyi's direction, Feng Jin followed closely behind Ling Mohan with swift steps. What was this man thinking, to run so fast.
"Slow down, I can barely keep up."
Finally unable to stand Ling Mohan anymore, she suddenly exerted force and flung his hand away, slumping down with slightly weak legs. She was truly exhausted and had no strength left to run madly with Ling Mohan.
Ling Mohan stopped, bent down, and looked at Feng Jin patiently, coaxing her good-naturedly, "It's late now, and it's not safe outside. Let's go home first and discuss other things."
"If you know it's late, why are you picking me up in the middle of the night? What are you fussing about!"
She retorted angrily, seeing Ling Mohan as nothing but trouble. He didn't even give her a single day of peace.
She had only decided not to go back for one night, and had already sent someone to deliver a message. Yet, here he was, coming all the way in the middle of the night to bring her back. Wasn't this just unnecessary trouble?
Not bothered by the trouble at all, Feng Jin rolled her eyes and looked at Ling Mohan unhappily, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"This time, my family was careless. Let's go home first. You can say anything you're unhappy about after we get back."
After speaking, Ling Mohan directly picked Feng Jin up and walked forward.
Feng Jin was also very tired. Her legs were sore. Since someone was willing to carry her back, she wouldn't be coy. It was better to enjoy his service with a clear conscience.
"Young General."
Lu Shi, driving a carriage, hurried over and stopped in front of Ling Mohan.
"You're not stupid either, knowing to have Lu Shi drive the carriage."
She had truly thought Ling Mohan was going to walk them all the way back on foot. She hadn't expected the carriage to be waiting behind.
Ling Mohan ignored Feng Jin, simply placed her in the carriage, and then sat down with her.
Lu Shi yawned and then drove the carriage forward. He was almost asleep when the young general called him up to drive a carriage to Prince Jing's mansion to pick up the young madam.
He had galloped all the way, not daring to rest, and finally arrived in time. If he had been any slower, the young general would have been furious.
Upon arriving at the Ling mansion, Ling Mohan helped Feng Jin out of the carriage and glanced at Lu Shi, "You're dismissed. Go and rest."
"Yes, Young General."
After Ling Mohan and Feng Jin entered the mansion and their figures disappeared, Lu Shi drove the carriage back to its original position and finally fed some dry grass to the horse, who was tired from the night's travel and suffering the same fate as him.
"Who told you to be unlucky? Having to go out in the middle of the night. Have some good food, eat more."
Lu Shi reached out and stroked the horse's neck. Why did he feel that the horse's fate was the same as his own tragic one, having to work late into the night without rest.
After feeding the horse, Lu Shi stood up and prepared to return to his room to sleep.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the light on in the room. He frowned in confusion. Who would be in his room at this hour? Filled with questions, Lu Shi pushed open the door and walked in.
The first thing he saw was Cai Qing sitting there, holding his spare clothes, meticulously sewing them with a needle and thread.
"You're back. Did you bring the young madam back?"
Hearing the sound of movement at the door, Cai Qing looked up at Lu Shi and asked indifferently, without stopping her sewing.
"I haven't washed these clothes yet. Don't sew anymore. You'll strain your eyes sewing in this light."
"I'm fine. These are small matters."
Cai Qing refused, her movements skilled. In a short while, she finished sewing the clothes, picked them up, and examined them carefully. Satisfied that they were repaired, she put the clothes down.
"Be careful when you wear your clothes in the future. Look at how many places are broken on your clothes, all crooked."
The fabric of the clothes felt new, but there were several tears. She didn't know where they had been snagged to cause such damage.
If he continued to wear them like this, the clothes would soon be beyond repair.
"I... I snagged them accidentally. Don't busy yourself anymore. You've been busy all day, sit down and rest. I'll pour you a cup of tea."
Lu Shi felt too embarrassed to let Cai Qing sew his clothes, especially since they hadn't been washed. He trained every day and sweated profusely, so the clothes were full of sweat.
He quickly snatched the clothes from Cai Qing's hand and awkwardly tossed them aside.
"Why are you throwing them away? I can take them and wash them for you first thing tomorrow morning."
Lu Shi was too busy every day to have time to wash his clothes, and even if he did, they wouldn't be washed clean.
Since she didn't have much else to do, she could wash his clothes along with her own. If they stayed here any longer, who knew how many days it would be before they were washed, and they would likely become truly smelly.
"That won't do. How can... can I let you wash my clothes for me."
Under no circumstances would he agree. Cai Qing was already tired enough. He absolutely could not let Cai Qing wash his clothes for her.
"It's alright, just give them to me."
Under Cai Qing's strong insistence, Lu Shi finally reluctantly handed over the clothes.
"If you don't have time or are tired, just leave them there. I'll wash them when I have time."
He was also worried about tiring Cai Qing further, and he would... feel pained.
