Chapter 269: Are you okay?

Xin He's face became cold and resolute. "Prepare the horses for me, I need to make a trip to Duan Mansion," she commanded.

A surprise flashed across Xiaochaihuo's face. "Duan Mansion? Are you planning on visiting Minister Duan? I suppose he should not even be at home right now."

Just at the thought of the scheming man, he went on high alert. He had no desire for Ji Xinhe to have anything to do with him. Despite her cunning, she couldn't always outwit him. If he found a loophole, wouldn't it be over?

He would normally avoid him at all costs. Now she was going to seek him out voluntarily. Wasn't she walking into a trap?!

Xin He scoffed coldly, "Why would I go to him? Do you think I'm begging him to let us go? I, Ji Xinhe, value myself more than that."

With his head down, Xiaochaihuo touched his nose.

Xin He stated icily, "I need to find a more useful person."

Just as Xiaochaihuo was about to inquire further, Xin He had already walked out boldly.
