Five days later, Zhou Yan drove his carriage and silently blended into the Yue Family caravan.
Steward Yue had personally arranged it, so everyone else in the caravan believed Zhou Yan had come from elsewhere. Aside from Yue Yuna, Ruyu, and Yingdian, the two chief maidservants, no one else knew Zhou Yan's identity.
Originally, Yue Yuna had wanted to arrange a carriage specifically for Zhou Yan. It would have been far more convenient and made the journey easier for him.
But Zhou Yan refused it all.
For no other reason than that he was afraid of dying!
Zhou Yan did not understand why Yue Yuna insisted on personally leading the caravan south, but he knew there was no shortage of trouble within these great families. And whenever trouble appeared, it was usually major trouble. Thus, he had come with a measure of vigilance and caution already in his heart.
If his identity as a retainer were exposed, then should danger truly arise, retainers like him would often become the first targets to be hunted down.
In that case, it would be better to go with the flow and remain among the caravan, where he would not look so conspicuous.
Even so, his carriage was still positioned in the middle of the caravan, not far from Yue Yuna's carriage...
"I never expected it. That Zhou Yan seems rather eccentric, yet he can actually mingle with those coachmen without revealing any flaws." Ruyu looked at Zhou Yan in the distance, her expression slightly surprised.
For some reason, Ruyu had always found Zhou Yan displeasing to the eye.
Perhaps it was because Yue Yuna valued him unusually highly, or perhaps it was the unyielding arrogance Zhou Yan had inadvertently displayed. In any case, Ruyu did not have the slightest favorable impression of him.
