Mu Chen was sitting on the side of the road, taking out a spiritual fruit and eating it, when he saw a girl in a green dress walking towards him.
"Child, this is given to you by my wife." The girl squatted down with a smile on her pretty face: "Why are you here alone? Where is your master?"
As he spoke, he handed over the pastry: "Here, eat this!"
Mu Chen glanced at the cake in her hand and said, "No need."
"It's okay, my wife is kind, you can take it!" The girl said, looked at him and asked, "Do you have anything to put in it?"
Seeing the little boy frowning and looking at her expressionlessly, she thought for a moment and said, "How about this! I'll leave the plate here. It's getting dark today anyway, so we'll definitely leave tomorrow. I'll come back later to get the plate back."
Having said that, without waiting for Hao'er to react, he placed the plate of pastries in front of him and left.
Mu Chen glanced at the plate of pastries and did not touch it. Instead, he ate his spiritual fruit and then closed his eyes to rest.
In the carriage
"Madam, the child seemed to be alone, with no adults around. I gave him the pastries, but he said he didn't want them, so I put the plate there and will collect it later." The maid said softly, coming to her side to help her make tea and pour water and serve her.
Hearing this, the lady lifted the curtain and took a look, saying, "For such a young child, their family really has confidence in him."
"Madam, I think this child is very smart! He knows how to follow our motorcade. This way, at least he won't encounter any other problems." The maid said with a smile, poured her a cup of tea, and asked, "Madam, it's not completely dark yet, how about getting off the car and taking a walk?"
"That's fine. We've been sitting here all day." The lady said, and got off the carriage with the help of her maid.
She walked around for a while, then came to the little boy. Looking at the little boy sitting on the grass with his eyes closed to rest, she couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile.
"Are you tired? Come and rest in my spirit beast carriage!" Looking at this child who was only about five years old, pity appeared in her eyes: "You are so young, it is easy to get sick if you stay here at night. There are only me and a maid in the spirit beast carriage, you can sleep in my carriage for a night!"
Mu Chen opened his eyes and looked at her. She looked gentle and soft, which reminded him of his mother. Perhaps because of this, his refusal was softened a bit and no longer as stiff as before.
"I'll just rest here."
Seeing this, the lady smiled and said to the maid beside her: "Go and ask the guards to clear out a small tent."
"Yes." The maid replied and left. Not long after, she came back with a small tent.
"Here's this for you! Since you don't want to rest in my spirit beast car, then go to the small tent to rest, so you don't catch a cold at night." She smiled gently and said, "Our convoy is going to Hongcheng. If you're going the same way, follow us! At least it's safer."
Looking at the small tent, Mu Chen did not refuse, but stood up and bowed to her: "Thank you."
When the lady saw this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "You're welcome." After saying that, she turned around and went back to the spirit beast carriage to rest.
