Chapter 372: 372 rides with who Chapter 372: 372 rides with who She took out several bottles of fine wine from her space, so she wouldn’t come across as impolite when she passed them on.

Unfortunately, due to her age, she didn’t manage to drink a single drop, though she did eat quite a bit of meat.

Early in the morning, the head of the escort team came to say farewell.

And now, Ye Jiu and Ye Wenzheng were ready to hit the road with Sikong Mo.

After these days’ journey, Ye Wenzheng had learned how to ride a horse, so naturally, when it came time to mount up, Ye Jiu chose to ride with the person she was closest to, Ye Wenzheng.

However, before she could get settled on the horse and before Ye Wenzheng had even had the chance to mount, Sikong Mo rode up beside her, reached out his hand, and suddenly Ye Jiu was nestled in his arms.

“Little aunt…” Ye Wenzheng called out worriedly, quickly abandoning the idea of mounting his horse and running up to the front of Sikong Mo’s horse, eyeing Sikong Mo defensively.

At the same time, Ye Jiu was also startled by the sudden feeling of weightlessness, and as Sikong Mo placed her in front of him on the saddle, her fingers instinctively clutched at the clothes on his back.

“What are you doing?” Ye Jiu growled cutely, a sight that made Sikong Mo’s subordinates tremble immensely behind him.

It was all over, they thought, this little girl who just last night was sharing grilled meat with them was probably doomed.

When had their prince ever been shouted at like this? Who wouldn’t tremble in his presence?

Yet what came first was shock, followed by even greater surprise.

Far from drawing his sword in anger, Sikong Mo looked utterly confused.

He himself didn’t know what he was doing!

All he knew was that when he saw Ye Wenzheng trying to climb onto the horse she was supposed to ride, and the thought of her curling up in the arms of another man crossed his mind, he felt an unusual tightness in his chest.

His actions were quicker than his thoughts; before he even knew what he was doing, he had already pulled her back into his arms.

This way, he felt a bit more at ease.

But now, in this situation, how was he supposed to respond?

Si Nan, who was a step behind, was even more anxious.

While it was good news to finally have a girl close to their prince, the unfortunate part was that Miss Ye was still too young.

If they suggested now that Miss Ye grow up to be their prince’s lady, it would likely not only fail to achieve the desired effect but also scare her off completely.

If it were any other family eagerly trying to curry favor with the Royal Residence, it would be a simple matter of offering up the person in question. But Miss Ye was obviously different.

Setting aside Miss Ye’s temperament, which appeared gentle and easy to speak to, she was in reality a small tiger.

Her medicine could silently bring people down, and although he hadn’t witnessed it personally, he had heard plenty from Si Rong and Si Bei.

It was said that during their journey back from Nanchang to Dongyue, the low number of casualties they had was all thanks to Miss Ye’s medicine.

Additionally, from the information they had gathered, although Miss Ye’s family background was ordinary, she was doted on by her mother and had abilities of her own. Currently, she could make most decisions for the Ye Family, so who would dare suggest giving her away?

Moreover, Si Nan could see that their Family Head didn’t seem like the type to abuse his wealth and power.

Concerned, Si Nan stepped forward to relieve his master’s distress, “Miss Ye, our journey to the capital is because of urgent matters. So, the upcoming journey will be very hurried. Brother Wenzheng just learned how to ride, and if he were to take you with him, it would be tough to endure the whole way. Therefore, please understand, Miss Ye. After all, our Family Head is the best rider, and the horse beneath him is the finest one, capable of carrying both of you without any delay.”
