On the tenth day of September, Yun Shi took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out to the capital.
In addition to the coachman and guards, they were accompanied by their attendants, Cuiping, Cuihe, Xiumei, and Mo mo Zhang.
The date of the Prefectural Magistrate's wife's invitation was the 15th of September, but because the journey would take a day, and Yun Shi was worried about any mishaps, she set off four days earlier.
Xingshan County was located in a remote area, so they set off in the morning and arrived at the Prefecture in the evening.
In the evening, the streets of the capital city should turn empty, with shops closing and pedestrians returning home.
However, halfway through, they saw a group of people fighting ahead, with swords and knives shining brightly, which was very frightening.
The coachman wanted to turn around immediately, but the road was not spacious enough, so he could not change its direction, and was forced to freeze on the side of the road, not knowing what to do.
Inside the carriage, Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan were very nervous.
Wei Ruo was also frightened a bit. Who would be so bold as to fight on the main street in the capital city?
Wei Ruo carefully lifted the curtain of the window.
Through this crack, Wei Ruo saw a familiar figure among the fighting crowd - Lu Yuhong.
If Lu Yuhong was here, wouldn't that mean that Chu Lan was also involved?
As expected, when Wei Ruo's sight swept across the block, he saw Chu Lan in the corner next to him, who was protected by several guards.
He didn't take any action, these minions in front of him were not worth his own action.
At the same time Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan, Wei Qingwan, who was sitting in the seat opposite her, also saw him.
Her face was filled with both surprise and panic as she witnessed the chaotic scene, as well as a hint of uncontrollable joy.
After a while, the noise outside quieted down.
Lu Yuhong walked towards the direction of the Wei family carriage.
"Sorry for disturbing your carriage. The situation has been settled and you can continue moving forward."
In order to avoid suspicion, Mrs. Wei did not lift the curtain, but replied through the curtain: "It's okay, I'm glad you're fine, thank you for your help, young master."
Mrs. Wei had already recognised Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong. And knowing their identities, she naturally didn't dare to say anything.
After a simple conversation, Lu Yuhong should have let the Wei family carriage leave. Perhaps Lu Yuhong recognized the Wei family carriage or the Wei family servant who followed the carriage, Suddenly He asked, "Is the eldest young lady Wei in the carriage?"
Yun Shi and Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo together, their eyes showing surprise.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Ruo replied, "What can I do for you, young master?"
Lu Yuhong said, “No, I just want to ask you, do you still have sauce that you gave to Miss Xie?’
Sauce? Shiitake mushroom sauce?
Wei Ruo remembered that she gave Xie Ying two jars of mushroom sauce. At that time, Xie Ying said she wanted to share one jar with her brother.
Wei Ruo knew that Xie Jue was also in Taizhou Prefecture recently, and he should be with Chu Lan and the others.
Listening to Lu Yuhong’s words, he should have eaten the shiitake mushroom sauce at Xie Jue's place.
After pondering for a while, Wei Ruo said, "Sorry, Young Master Lu, I didn't bring it with me."
Wei Ruo didn't want to give it to Lu Yuhong. Although it wasn't something valuable, she didn't really like Chu Lan, which also meant she didn't have a good impression of Lu Yuhong.
But she couldn't refuse directly, nor did she dare to lie and say that she had no more. She truly didn't bring anything with her.
Since Wei Ruo said so, the average modest gentleman would stop at that point and would not chase after a jar of mushroom sauce.
But obviously, Lu Yuhong was not a traditional aristocratic young master. He said straightforwardly, "Then when I go to Xingshan County later, can Miss Wei give me a jar?"

Ew. I may not want another, my family member isn't really my family member and is actually the ML!!! But, buddy, stop. It's not that big of a deal and if you really want it, pay for it. That sauce was a gift to her friend. Not her brother, not you, or the prince.Like, I may be overreacting a bit, but I can't stand people who think persistence is desirable. When someone says "no", no matter how they say, then Back. Off! The sauce isn't that good to back some in a corner.🙄
