Dian Hong couldn’t help but laugh: "Miss Junjun is straightforward and magnanimous, which makes her likable."
Wenren Pingting replied indifferently, "Let’s go, let’s head back."
She walked slowly towards the Prince’s Mansion, and at that moment, she finally let go of the obsession in her heart.
Years ago, a young girl decided to go to the pharmacy to retrieve some Contraceptive Soup to deal with her father’s mistress because her father’s actions had embarrassed her mother.
It was ultimately a disgraceful act, so to hide her identity, she deliberately took off her Brocade Robe and wore ragged clothes to the pharmacy.
However, because of her ragged clothes, she was treated coldly by the Shop Assistant, who even assumed she was a courtesan due to her request for Contraceptive Soup and thus provided her with inferior medicines.
At that time, the young girl was unaware, and it was a frail young boy who also came to fetch medicine who spoke up faintly.
"The Shop Assistant is unduly oppressing the customers; this seems hardly fair."
At this point, the young girl realized that the Shop Assistant was tricking her.
Thus, she immediately confronted him, and they had a big argument.
By the time she emerged victorious, the frail young boy had already left.
Though it was a brief interaction, this cold yet righteous young boy had stormed into her heart.
Their next interaction was at a gathering, and her well-played noble lady friends pointed to a thin silhouette, saying: "Look, that’s Bai Junjun’s fiancé."
"It’s said that he’s a lowly Retainer in their household, frail and sick."
"Ha ha ha, who would have thought the World’s Number One Talent Girl would have such an unimpressive fiancé."
The young girl looked over, and unexpectedly saw that cold young boy...
Shock, heartache, a jumble of emotions... she felt them all.
As Wenren Pingting walked back, her youthful years became even clearer, leading her to sigh unintentionally.
Previously, she felt that Bai Junjun was unworthy of that young man, but now, perhaps only this Bai Junjun was truly meant for him.
It was time to truly let go.
Those unspoken past grievances, like friends, vanished in smoke.
She too had her own life to live.
"Dian Hong, make a sweet and sour fish tonight; His Highness loves it."
The secrets in Wenren Pingting’s heart, Bai Junjun did not know.
At this time, the Bai Family had moved away, arranging three Horse Carriages.
Lady Lin and her children took one, the Seven-Person Team took another, and the Bai siblings, Manager Qiao, and Monk Shan Ci shared another.
Everyone’s luggage was placed on top of the carriages, and so, they arrived quietly and left lightly.
The First Shi Clan, which once reigned, vanished completely from the Imperial Capital, exiting the historical stage of Baiju Country.
Yet, everyone was very relaxed and comfortable along the way, without a hint of regret.
Looking back, about a month ago, everyone had followed Wenren Pingting in her carriage.
It was only a ten-day journey from Ying County to the Imperial Capital, but because of Wenren Pingting’s many rules, it took them twenty days to arrive; without Wenren Pingting who was a drag, everyone sped along swiftly.
Although they stayed in the Imperial Capital for a month, to the Seven-Person Team and the Bai siblings, it seemed as though wilderness survival was the memory imprinted in their bones, hence everyone felt as comfortable outdoors as fish in the ocean.
At each place they settled, those hunting, gathering firewood, making fire, seamlessly filled roles without needing division of tasks.
Lady Lin, who had wandered the world for many years, was astounded by their teamwork and exclaimed that Bai Junjun had taught them well.
Bai Junjun innocently shrugged her shoulders; in truth, she was just a naive country bumpkin.
Every time they camped, aside from watching over the food on the stove, there were no other achievements.
