My Princess Holds Superpowers
Chapter 314 - Chapter 314 Depart at 314

Chapter 314: Depart at 314 Chapter 314: Depart at 314 Once mother and daughter both calmed down, Mrs. He also gave up on trying to dissuade Ye Jiu.

This child might look frail, but her resolve was too strong, and Mrs. He knew that any further persuasion would be futile.

Still, Mrs. He opened the money box, leaving only a few scattering taels of silver, then pushed the rest towards Ye Jiu, “My dear child, take all this with you. The outside world is not like home; there will be many places where money is needed. It’s better to have extra than to be stuck when you need it. Your mother has plenty to eat and drink at home, and money comes in every now and then from the soap business; we don’t lack this much.”

Ye Jiu pushed the money box back and smiled at Mrs. He, “Mother, I am not short of money. You should know, I am the richest person in our family!”

Mrs. He shook her head, her eyes already misty with tears.

Ye Jiu, in the end, did not take the money.

Ye Jiu’s plans to go to the capital city were still unknown to Old Man Ye.

It wasn’t until the crack of dawn on the day Ye Jiu set off that Old Man Ye got dressed and learned of the matter from Mrs. He. He was instantly furious.

However, by then Ye Jiu had already been gone for most of the morning, and even after Old Man Ye hurriedly followed with his donkey cart to the town, he did not catch up to her.

Returning home, Old Man Ye, for the first time, lost his temper with Mrs. He and berated her, “You ignorant fool of a wife, are we lacking food or drink at home? She’s just a little girl; what business do you expect her to conduct out there? These are tasks for grown men, not something a young girl should be doing! With so many bandits and thieves outside, if anything happened to the child, wouldn’t you, as her mother, feel heartbroken?

To send for her fourth brother too, isn’t he just a child himself? Going out, won’t he just get himself lost as well? Even if she finds him, what could she do then? You have traveled to the capital city; you know how far it is. What if… what if she gets abducted by someone? How could we cope!”

The more Old Man Ye spoke, the angrier he became. He couldn’t control himself, and he, an old man, squatted on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

He had heard all the gossip and rumors, how everyone laughed behind his back, saying their youngest daughter surely wouldn’t return and mocked that he had lost a son while searching for a young girl.

Old Man Ye knew all this, yet he was powerless, an old man who, though worried, did not dare to venture far from home.

But now, his precious daughter who had finally returned home had slipped away quietly, how could he not be furious!

Mrs. He too was hurting inside and didn’t wish to argue just for the sake of winning the argument, so she let him ramble on his own.

He was in pain and heartache, and how could her heart not ache just the same!

Meanwhile, Ye Jiu and her companions had long since left the town.

Dressed in men’s attire, and with the toxins having been cleansed from her body, Ye Jiu’s complexion had grown much lighter, and the dark spots were gradually fading. Although she still looked unsightly, it was clear there was an improvement.

She believed that by the time she finished all of the medicine, her body would return to normal.

Ye Jiu, being young and unable to reach the stirrups, was fortunate that Wenzheng had the foresight to provide a carriage for her to travel in comfortably.

And Wenzheng, riding a horse for the first time, could only manage short stints on horseback followed by rests in the carriage, as instructed by the head escort, Mr. Lu; otherwise, his body couldn’t take it.

Because they were hurrying on their journey, most of the time they could only rest in the woods, consuming dry food purchased from street vendors.

Ye Jiu was somewhat more comfortable, having space in her storage, and was able to enjoy hot food. Yet, whenever she ate alone, she felt particularly guilty.
