Chapter 662: Chapter 673: Arrival at Jinxiu City

She had never ventured so far from home, and I feared that the experience might leave her with some psychological scars.

There were no further incidents along the way, and it seemed that we were approaching Jinxiu City when Gu Youyou heard the person atop the carriage alight, and shortly afterward, the coachman’s voice.

"Misses, we’ve arrived at Jinxiu City. Shall we go directly to Manxiu Building, or would you like to look around the city first?"

The three of them had been on edge for the entire journey, especially Xiang Chun. The sound of their safe arrival was like music from heaven.

Lin Qianqing let out a sigh of relief and whispered to Gu Youyou, "Is that our coachman?"

Gu Youyou shook her head with a serious expression and said, "No!"After that, she told the coachman, "Let’s go straight to Manxiu Building."Gu Youyou suspected that their carriage had run into trouble midway through the journey. However, whoever had been behind the incident had not succeeded because Jin Zijin must have arranged for strong protection.The coachman had changed, and there had been someone on the roof of the carriage, yet Abao did not react.This indicated that Abao recognized the scent of these two individuals and felt no danger, hence its calm.It was fortunate that they had Abao with them; without seeing its calm demeanor, Gu Youyou wouldn’t have allowed strangers to lead them on their journey—anything could have happened.Surrounding noises hinted at a lively market.Gu Youyou reached to open the carriage window, but Xiang Chun held her hand back.The girl was still in shock, her face deathly pale."Miss Gu, don’t open the door."Gu Youyou laughed, pushed her hand away, and said, "We’ve already arrived at Jinxiu City, listen, someone is selling candied haws. Don’t worry, we’re safe now."Lin Qianqing was also pale, and Gu Youyou tenderly ruffled her hair, whispering, "Look at you, do you dare to venture out again? With such faint-heartedness, you’d better stay in the safety of Beijing’s large mansions."If this could make her take notice and become a proper woman of the inner court, it would be a good thing for her."No!" Against all expectations, Lin Qianqing immediately objected after hearing Gu Youyou’s words."I don’t want to stay cooped up in a mansion. Life should be exactly like this, filled with unexpected surprises!"Gu Youyou: "Surprises?" But weren’t you afraid?Xiang Chun, her face pale: "Miss, that was... terror, right? My poor miss, you were so frightened that you can’t differentiate between surprise and fright."Gu Youyou: "..."Lin Qianqing: "..." She glared at Xiang Chun and flung the carriage window open.A different kind of air entered the carriage, sparking longing in the heart.Outside the window was a bustling street filled with an endless stream of hawkers and pedestrians, even livelier than Beijing, the capital of Zhuzhao Country.No wonder Jinxiu City was wealthier than Beijing.Lin Qianqing looked out onto the street and let out a clear, crisp laugh."I was frightened this time, but I won’t be the next. Cousin, do you often encounter such events? You seem so calm."Gu Youyou gave a wry smile and said, "Often? Not really, just a few times.""Then who were those people?"Gu Youyou glanced subconsciously in the direction of the driver’s seat and said, "Why don’t you ask the coachman later and find out?"Xiang Chun tugged at Lin Qianqing’s sleeve and said, "Maybe we shouldn’t. They’re probably not good people."Lin Qianqing, however, looked at Gu Youyou and saw her smiling softly, as if deep in thought.The carriage came to a stop, and the coachman got down first, then invited Gu Youyou and the others to disembark."Misses, we’ve arrived at Manxiu Building. Please alight from the carriage."
