Yin Huaixi rubbed the token in his hand. “We can’t be separated anymore. I have to be with her eventually. Wherever she is, I’ll be there. If the mortal world separates us, we’ll break through the barrier of the world. If distance separates us, we’ll cross mountains and rivers. The Xie family is just one of the obstacles to me. I’m not afraid of obstacles, but I’m afraid that her heart isn’t dedicated to me.’

Xie Jingliu sneered. “You want to tell me that you’re worried that my cousin will be loyal to the Xie family and not you after she goes to Quanzhou, so you asked Old Madam Yu for a token to shackle the marriage between the two of you?” He took a deep breath. “You should save these words for my great- grandfather after you go to Quanzhou!”

If Yin Huaixi was really sincere to his cousin, wasn’t he most worried that it would be difficult to explain his status to his great- grandfather?

He analyzed that the Imperial Court was killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. Once the King of Liang rebelled, the Xie family would be annihilated. How could Yin Huaixi dare to joke in front of his great- grandfather when he was forcing the Xie Residence to make a decision?

He could even misunderstand that Yin Huaixi had deliberately approached his cousin with ulterior motives.

Could it be that her great- grandfather wouldn’t think the same?

Yin Huaixi knew that there were some things that he shouldn’t say. If he said too much, he would anger his great- grandfather, so he deliberately looked for him to say it. As a member of the Xie family, he was concerned about the survival of the Xie family. When he heard this, would he not discuss it with his family?

When he said it, the meaning was completely different from Yin Huaixi saying it himself.

After Yin Huaixi explained his identity and revealed the token, his great- grandfather would definitely ask him about Yin Huaixi’s attitude towards his cousin. After all, in the entire Xie Residence, he was the only one who interacted with Yin Huaixi the most.

How would he answer then?

Should he mention what Yin Huaixi had said to him to his great- grandfather?

He was really stupid! Yin Huaixi was a real dog!

Yin Huaixi rubbed his nose. “Do you really think that my punch was for nothing?!”

Xie Jingliu’s fists hardened, and he felt that his punch just now had been too light. “Dog!

Yin Huaixi pretended not to understand. “I’ve never hidden anything about me from Yao Yao. If Yao Yao finds out that you punched me just now, do you think her heart will ache…

Xie Jingliu’s fist itched. He really wanted to punch him in the face again. “What a real dog!’

Yin Huaixi added on. “When Old Madam Yu handed the token to me, she asked me not to tell Yao Yao about this for the time being. In the future, when Yao Yao and I are in love, we’ll talk about marriage.”

This time, Xie Jingliu really believed that Yin Huaixi was sincere to his little cousin. However, based on this alone, he felt that he was tired of living and was asking for a beating.

Yin Huaixi changed the topic. “If you don’t agree, I can get Yao Yao to personally discuss it with Old Master Xie. A calamity is about to happen to the

Xie Residence, so Yao Yao definitely won’t sit back and do nothing.”

Xie Jingliu couldn’t help but curse, “How dare you? You’re really a dog. I don’t think you should be called Yin Huaixi. You should just change your name to Dog Yin! ”

If Yin Huaixi really wanted to implicate his little cousin, he wouldn’t have specially looked for him to talk.

To be able to say this, he must be a real dog.

If you weren’t my future third uncle, I would have offended you and beaten you to death. Of course, Yin Huaixi only dared to think about it in his heart. Xie Jingliu’s expression was a little complicated. The open space on the top floor of the ship could be seen from afar. It was a majestic and strict palace wall.

He tilted his head and glanced at Yin Huaixi. Yin Huaixi lowered his head and rubbed the token in his hand with a very focused expression. He opened his mouth but swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Forget it!

There were some things that he shouldn’t have said in the first place.

After going to Quanzhou, Yin Huaixi had to give his great- grandfather an explanation.

The room on the ship was very big. Considering that Yu Youyao was still in mourning, the decorations inside were elegant and comfortable. Cui Zhu was a little older, about 14 or 15 years old. She looked ordinary and very stable.

After seeing Yu Youyao, she explained eloquently, “Young Miss has been conferred the title of County Head. According to the rules, there are four maidservants in the house, six second-in-charge maidservants, and twelve young maidservants. There are a few people in the courtyard. When Young Miss goes to Quanzhou, the people in the house who serve her might also follow. Old Madam is also worried that Young Miss won’t have enough people in front of her and will suffer.’

Yu Youyao nodded. “Auntie Xu in my house used to come from the palace. She was also the one who arranged the people serving me. Let Xia Tao take you to find her.’

Bi Zhu and Cui Zhu heaved a sigh of relief and left the room obediently.

Young Miss’s attitude was gentle, and when she spoke, she spoke gently and unhurriedly. She should be an easy- going master.

Not long after, Auntie Xu came over. “Your grandmother has chosen an excellent person. She’s a servant of the Xie family. She’s been taught the rules and etiquette. She must have specially found a nanny from the palace.”

“Cui Zhu is steady, so she’ll stay by your side to serve you. There’s a huge difference in customs and rules between Quanzhou and the capital. You have to have someone older and more steady to guide and take care of you.”

“Cui Zhu is a little young, so she’s temporarily arranged to be in the tea room. After arriving in Quanzhou, what you’ll usually eat and drink will be different from the capital. With Cui Zhu around, it’ll be safer.”

Yu Youyao nodded. “We’ll do as you say, Auntie.”

Auntie Xu held her hand. “Your grandmother has thought it through. With these two maidservants around, you and the people around you can know a little about the situation in Quanzhou in advance. You won’t be in the dark when you’re there.”

Yu Youyao ate some medicinal porridge. After another hour, the boat finally sailed.

Next, from time to time, Cui Zhu would mention some of Quanzhou’s customs and favors. She also prepared some books for her to pass the time.

At first, Yu Youyao was a little seasick.

Fortunately, she had brought a doctor along on the ship and taken medicine.

In addition, Cui Zhu and Bi Zhu served her well. In about three to five days, Yu Youyao gradually adapted to life on the ship.

Xia Tao’s seasickness was more serious, and she fell sick in less than two days.

With a doctor taking care of her, there was not much of a problem.

When the merchant ship arrived at the Quanzhou pier, it was already October 20th.

The weather in Quanzhou was warmer, and the weather in October was no different from autumn in the capital.

As she wanted to see her elders, Cui Zhu helped Yu Youyao wash up again. She changed into a light apricot-colored brocade skirt with a slanted top. Her entire outfit was covered with apricot-colored patterns.

Considering that this was the first time Yu Youyao had officially visited her elders, she had to show her filial piety. Her light apricot color was elegant and noble, so it wouldn’t be rude.

After washing up, Cui Zhu helped Yu Youyao onto the deck. The salty sea breeze blew against her face. There were people coming and going on the pier, and it was bust].ing.

Yin Huaixi, who was waiting on the deck, saw Yu Youyao come out. “There are many boats parked at the pier. Your third cousin has to arrange for the loading and unloading. The Xie family has sent a carriage to pick you up. Your eldest uncle and four other cousins are all here. They’re waiting at the pier..”
