Chapter 256
As night fell, Cheng Dalei took a break beside a small lake. The two of them had walked a long road enveloped in dust. Cheng Dalei bore it well enough, but Li Waner, having had a pampered upbringing, couldn't handle it as well.
Cheng Dalei first took a bath and changed his clothes at the shore, while Li Waner hid herself inside the horse carriage.
"You can come out now," Cheng Dalei called after he had dressed.
"You didn't peep, did you?" Clutching her clothes, Li Waner cautiously asked.
"What nonsense! Am I that kind of person? I never even visit brothels in Chang'an."
"No way, you have to get into the carriage too. I'm watching the carriage. If you even as much as poke your head out, I will see it."
"Is that really necessary? I think we're at a point in our relationship where trust and honesty should prevail."
Saying this, Cheng Dalei got into the carriage, but didn't forget his sword, keeping it in his hand.
