The woman’s gaze was dodging, as if she was too ashamed to see Gu Nuo’er again.
The child carried the black wolf cub with an obedient expression. The moonlight covered her delicate eyelashes.
It made her look even more exquisite and beautiful.
“Auntie, you’re the only person with a conscience. Your husband has done all kinds of evil deeds. What awaits him will definitely be severe punishment.
“Back then, you gave me a kind reminder. Today, I’ll give you freedom.”
Tears immediately filled the woman’s eyes.
Back then, she was someone who had been bought and almost offered as a sacrifice to the snake demon.
However, the old village chief found her to be too old and gave her to the villager, w.a.n.g Wu, as his wife.
All these years, w.a.n.g Wu had often beaten and scolded her. If she wanted to run, she would have to be beaten up if she was caught!
Tears welled up in her eyes when she heard the word freedom.
“Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!”
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand, indicating that there was no need to stand on ceremony.
When traveling outside, one should help when seeing injustice!
Just as Gu Nuo’er was about to follow Wei Cang into the carriage and leave…
Wei Cang suddenly said, “Your Highness, I would like to have a word with you separately.”
The child retracted her small foot that had just stepped on the carriage stool.
She blinked her watery eyes and followed Wei Cang to the side.
“Dudu, what’s the matter?”
Wei Cang looked down and saw that she was still carrying the wolf cub in her arms.
He hesitated.
However, he then remembered that this wolf didn’t understand human language.
Therefore, he still said, “Your Highness, it’s our fault for bringing you out of the capital for so long.
“Before we leave Great Qi, I’ll arrange for someone to send you back.
“Let’s part ways here. Thank you for trusting me along the way.”
As he spoke, Wei Cang took two steps back, cupped his hands, and bowed to Gu Nuo’er.
This was an etiquette that only officials had when meeting a princess.
He was doing this now because he acknowledged the child in his heart.
Wei Cang looked up and saw Gu Nuo’er pursing her pink lips and blinking her big watery eyes without saying anything.
However, her expression seemed to show that she was a little touched.
Wei Cang sighed in his heart.
Perhaps the little princess didn’t expect him to let her go either!
Perhaps she was also touched?
“What do you mean by returning?! I’m not going back!” Unexpectedly, Gu Nuo’er said this in a soft voice.
Wei Cang was stunned.
Gu Nuo’er waved her small hand. “I’m having a lot of fun outside. Why would I be in a hurry to go home?!
“I’m not going back, I’m not going back! I’ll wait till I’ve had enough fun.”
After saying that, the child carried the black wolf cub and turned to step onto the stool to get into the carriage.
Wei Cang was stunned on the spot.
Why was this little princess still clinging onto them?!
Didn’t she miss home and her parents?
Gu Nuo’er stuck her head out of the window.
She raised her voice and shouted, “Dudu, don’t be in a daze there! Why are you so slow? Hurry up and set off!”
In the end, Wei Cang came back to his senses and could only choose to continue heading to the Xili Empire with Gu Nuo’er.
When the wheels of the carriage slowly turned and advanced under the bright Northern Dipper Stars that filled the sky…
Gu Nuo’er leaned against the carriage window, resting her chin on one hand and stroking Ye Siming’s wolf ears with the other.
She smiled and whispered, “Elder Brother Siming, Dudu definitely doesn’t know about one saying.”
Ye Siming looked up at the child with his wolf eyes.
Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly and obediently. “It’s easy to invite a G.o.d, but it’s difficult to send them off!”
Just as she finished speaking…
Ye Siming, who was in her arms, suddenly returned to his human form.
He raised his long eyebrows slightly, his eyes handsome. Under the light and shadow, the arrogance and ruthlessness of a youth faded.
In front of Gu Nuo’er, Ye Siming’s thin eyes were gentle like a spring mountain as he gently stared at the child.
“Gu Nuo’er, I have something to say.”
