Shen Roujia glanced at Wei Rui, seemingly asking for his opinion.
Liu Ruyi and Wei Rui naturally followed Shen Roujia’s lead in all matters.
The two exchanged smiles and quickly agreed, “That sounds like a good plan.”
Shen Roujia was genuinely curious about these people, but since they were potentially dangerous, she knew she had to stay vigilant.
If they could somehow help in certain matters, it might be a beneficial arrangement for everyone involved.
Shen Roujia glanced at Wei Rui, who was just as full of curiosity.
After the banquet ended, Liu Ruyi quietly approached Shen Roujia, “Jiaojiao, I’ll arrange for another group to wait in Huizhou.”
Shen Roujia nodded, “Sister-in-law, you’re always reliable. You can handle it without needing my involvement.”
Liu Ruyi smiled, about to say something when Shen Roujia suddenly grabbed her arm. That’s when she noticed Wen Surong had quietly approached Shen Roujia. 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
“Miss, I have a few questions I’d like to ask you privately.”
Shen Roujia smiled without hesitation, but Liu Ruyi, remembering the previous incident, grew nervous and wanted to intervene.
Shen Roujia quickly responded, “Alright, let’s talk over there.”
She led Wen Surong to a small pavilion nearby, while Liu Ruyi anxiously watched them.
Wei Rui, seeing her concern, smiled helplessly, “Ruyi, it’s fine. She knows what she’s doing. Besides, this man is different from the savages at the border.”
Liu Ruyi still kept a wary eye on their interaction, though Shen Roujia seemed calm and composed.
“Uncle, you can speak now. There’s no one here.”
Wen Surong smiled warmly, “You’re quite brave, Miss. If it were any ordinary girl, she’d be terrified just at the sight of us Northern people.”
Shen Roujia covered her mouth and laughed softly, “Is that how you see us people of the Central Plains?”
