Chapter 712: Chapter 706 Leaving the City

Gu Youyou shook her head like a bobblehead doll, "I can’t tell, impressive."

All four of them had put on disguises, and each had undergone a big change in appearance.

Yue Rujing joked, "Yi Yan’s skills in disguise have become increasingly refined."

Yi Yan replied with a smile, "Princely Heir Yue, you flatter me." Then, turning to Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing, she said, "Ladies, if you find the makeup on your face uncomfortable after a while, you can simply wash it off with water."

"Will it be uncomfortable?" Lin Qianqing asked, blinking her eyes.

Yi Yan said, "This is the first time the ladies have used these disguise materials, so it may become uncomfortable after a long time. Once we get to the outskirts of Beijing and it’s safe, keeping or removing the makeup won’t matter."

That made sense. As long as they were safe leaving the city, what did it matter if they were discovered upon returning? After all, they would be back by then.

Having chemical substances on one’s face for too long isn’t good.

That girl’s makeup wasn’t ugly, just done in a way that made her look like an ordinary person, the kind no one would take a second glance at in a crowd.

Plainly put, it made the face very unrecognizable.

The plain looks were starkly different from their previous appearances, and among the four imperfect faces, Gu Youyou was considered to have more pleasing features.

The four of them walked out of the city grandly, and once they reached the suburbs, some people brought them horses and also a cart – the kind used by farmers to haul grain, drawn by an ox.

Gu Youyou broke into a sweat.

Yue Rujing said, "It would be too strange for four grown men to ride in a carriage. We should either ride horses or take the cart."

Gu Youyou chose to ride a horse. If she wasn’t wrong, the cart was for transporting medicinal herbs; otherwise, were they pretending to be cohorts going to the countryside to collect herbs?

She looked at Lin Qianqing and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"

They were northerners; the Lin Family and the Jie Residence both had quite a few horses, and many house servants knew how to ride. It was just uncertain whether the ladies knew how as well.

To her disappointment, Lin Qianqing shook her head and said, "No, I don’t. The only time I rode one was when I was little, and my older cousin secretly took me for a ride at my grandparents’ house."

"So you can sit on a horse?" Gu Youyou asked.

"Sit?" Lin Qianqing was a bit confused.

Gu Youyou said with a smile, "Come on, I’ll help you."

So Gu Youyou mounted the horse first and then helped Lin Qianqing get up. Lin Qianqing sat behind her, and they shared one horse.

It was quite frightening to be up high on the horse for the first time, and Lin Qianqing quickly clung to Gu Youyou’s waist.

Gu Youyou laughed, "Hold on tight, we’re taking off!"

Jin Zijin and Yue Rujing each took a horse of their own, and no one bothered with the cart; it would be delivered to them in the countryside later.

On the road, the wind was strong as the horses galloped, blowing their hair into disarray.

Lin Qianqing was very excited, shouting, "Cousin, faster, I want to fly!"

Fly, indeed.

Gu Youyou replied annoyedly, "Hold on tight, I’m afraid you’ll fall off."

Lin Qianqing immediately wrapped her arms tightly around Gu Youyou’s waist.

Gu Youyou started to laugh, using the riding crop to urge the horse forward.

"Giddy up..."

Yue Rujing, watching the pair ahead, also laughed, "They seem to be having fun now, but I wonder how Madam Lin will react when she finds out that one climbed over the wall and the other lied to her to go out and have fun."

Jin Zijin sighed, "With any action comes gains and losses. As long as they think it’s worth it, that’s good."

"Brother, you really are..." Yue Rujing shook his head incessantly, "You’re hopeless. You always listen to her. She should be staying quietly at the Lin Residence now. It’s the best for her. Jin Yi, that guy, I heard he’s come back to Beijing recently. This time, he’s not here for Madam Ru; guess what he’s up to?"
