Because of the emotional bond formed over those few days, Qu Fulan was riding in the carriage with the three young ladies.
They enjoyed watching the scenery outside the window, chatting and laughing, creating quite a lively atmosphere. The journey was harmonious and pleasant.
When they grew tired of watching, everyone leaned back against the carriage wall to rest their eyes, as sleeping was impossible.
Even though they were traveling on the official road, there were some uneven places, causing the carriage to sway, leaving Qu Fulan feeling as though her bones might scatter.
Along the way, the Pei Family's carriage suddenly came to a slow stop.
Because Qu Fulan's carriage was just behind the old lady's carriage, they could hear what was happening ahead from the guards' voices.
The guard's voice was steady and clear: "Madam, the Wen Family's carriage is traveling ahead. Knowing that the old madam is near, they stopped and sent me to pay respects."
