C235 Long time no see on the road (China)

Of course, only the few people present knew of Duan Yunping's true identity. The servants of the Fu Clan only considered him as a good friend of the Patriarch. There was another time when Xu Mingwei saw Bi Tao yell at Duan Yunping without a trace of politeness, "Hey, who's that … "Oh, it's Mister Duan. Is Young Master in the convoy ahead?"

Duan Yunping was not the least bit displeased by being looked down upon, he only giggled and went forward, then shouted, "Yan Zhen, your little girl is looking for you!"

If not for knowing that he was the eldest son of the Southern Sun King, Xu Mingwei would never be able to put this good-natured, ordinary scholar on the same level as the young duke. She considered reminding the girls in the room a little, but decided against it. They were just enjoying a normal life of being "looked down upon". If she said it out loud, it would be annoying.

They walked like this for four or five days. The group had stayed in the farmhouse and at the inn, so their conditions were naturally inferior to the house. In the entire caravan, only Lian Qiubai, Jiao Jiao Jiao, and Nanny Xu kept taking care of the daily necessities. They were afraid that one of them was weak and the other one was young, teaching the rest of the journey to get sick.

Lian Qiubai sat in his horse carriage bored, but he was afraid that He Lanjiashan would have to accompany her, so he did not walk around. He would frequently invite Xu Mingwei to talk to him on her horse carriage. This afternoon, Jiao Jiao had already taught the nannies how to coax them to sleep. When Xu Mingwei saw that there was nothing else, he took advantage of the time they had to rest and went to find Lian Qiu Bai. When she knocked on the carriage's wall, she clearly heard someone inside groan in pain, and when she raised his head again, it was Little Uncle, He Lanjiashan, whose face was flushed red as she climbed out of the carriage.

Xu Mingwei chuckled, "Looks like I came at the wrong time."

He Lanjiashan glared at her as she walked towards the convoy.

Xu Mingwei secretly laughed as she lifted the curtain of the carriage, Lian Qiubai also looked towards her with a red face, his lips were suspiciously red and swollen. Knowing that her skin was no better than Little Uncle's, Xu Mingwei finally resisted her mischievous smile and said, "If there's a guest coming, would there be any good tea waiting for you?"

Lian Qiubai let out a sigh of relief, turned around to look for the tea canister, and lightly smiled. "Yesterday I drank monkey kai, and seeing that you don't seem to like it, I won't waste it. Do you want to serve black tea?"

The old granny carried Xu Mingwei and helped her into the carriage. She saw Lian Qiu Bai waving at her indifferently and knew that she was not needed to help him inside, so she left with her head lowered.

"Jiao Jiao is asleep?" Lian Qiubai lifted the kettle on the stove and lightly tapped it into the cup in front of him. He only saw the curled up tea leaves teaching the warm water to gently boil. Little by little, they opened their meridians, filling the room with fragrance.

"Mm. When the child is awake, he is always a little demon. Fortunately, his energy dissipates quickly. If he is tired, then he will sleep on his own." When Xu Mingwei saw that her movements when she brewed the tea were comparable to an exquisite dance, and had a kind of extreme grace, she couldn't help but be enchanted by it.

"Since you dislike it like that, then give it to me." Lian Qiubai covered her mouth and laughed, "Jiao Jiao's birth is so cute. When she grows up, those who come to ask for marriage will probably line up from the streets to the end. I'll pick the richest one in my family to marry. What a huge amount of dowry money."

Xu Mingwei looked at her, and sighed, "Why didn't I see that you were such a stinky copper person in the past? Or was it the fault of my Little Uncle? After eating with him for so long, a good scholar like him was tainted? "

Lian Qiubai thought of something and a suspicious blush appeared on his face. He coughed and said, "It's your aunt, she's a little more solemn."

With a pfft, Xu Mingwei extended her hand out towards her nose.

Lian Qiubai didn't understand, so he curiously asked, "What do you want?"

Xu Mingwei laughed sinisterly, "In this one thousand miles, little aunt will first have to pay this year's New Year's money."

was afraid that she would be gasping for breath, so he immediately laughed and begged for mercy, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. I have come back with something to say to you. "

Only then did Lian Qiubai change his expression. He sat down and asked, "Is it about tomorrow?"

Xu Mingwei shook his head and said, "I had originally thought that it would be hard to say these words to you, but since it's my mother's fault, I will probably take some responsibility. So after thinking about it, I decided to explain it to you."

It turned out that before leaving the capital, the matter of Lady Wang secretly investigating the rumors still entered the ears of Old Lai's family in the end. After figuring out the cause of the situation, Xu Mingwei instructed Old Lai's family to let Lady Helan know about the matter so that she could investigate who was serving in the courtyard. After some investigation, it was indeed the Xu family's servants that had gossiped about the bride behind the fake hill that night. However, following the investigation of the head of the household, it turned out to be the Fu Family's Second House.

"How could it be her?" In her impression, all of her aunts were very good to her. She had never expected that someone would use such a sinister method to ruin her reputation.

Xu Mingwei sighed, "Perhaps she did not do it out of ill intentions, but her mouth was not firm, and her words to her family leaked the news. The back of the house is only this big. Whoever breaks a vase in the house will have their tongue chewed on for three days, let alone something as big as this. "

A look of disgust flashed across Lian Qiubai's eyes as he said, "That's all the annoying part about the long-tongued woman. They made everything look as if they had seen it with their own eyes. It's fine if you don't know them, but if you smile kindly in front of others, then turn around and attack and slander them.

Xu Mingwei said, "My mother has already dealt with those two servants, but she thought that you can't keep them in the dark. She had to suffer injustice for no reason before speaking to you shamelessly, all I ask of you is that you not vent your anger, and blame the family for not having a strict upbringing."

Lian Qiubai took her hand and sighed, "This matter has nothing to do with you. The one who was wronged was you." "My aunt has her own way of saying it, so that she will not have to remember your faults in her heart."

Xu Mingwei shook her head and laughed, "That won't be necessary, I have my own debts in my mother's heart, no matter how bad it is, it will always be that way, I have never been afraid of her."

Hearing this, Lian Qiubai laughed and said, "It's a good thing that after following your uncle back to the Yin Mountain, you won't be able to listen to all the gossip in the capital. It's fine to let them talk about it."

For a moment, the two of them laughed, each of them carrying a teacup as they ate slowly.

The convoy had finished resting and was about to set off again, so He Lanjiashan sent Xu Mingwei back to her own carriage. From afar, she saw a woman pulling a handkerchief to cover her face, and looked forward expectantly, but she did not know what she was thinking.

He Lanjiashan's mouth hooked into a condescending smile, and glanced at Xu Mingwei, saying, "They are not even halfway there, and some of them already can't take it anymore."

Xu Mingwei glanced at the person, and saw that he looked exactly like Yao Lan, but did not care, and only said lightly, "It's a flea, you always have to jump up."

He Lanjiashan chuckled as she shook her head and gave up. Xu Mingwei bid farewell to him, and immediately called the Old Lai Clan over, and gave them a rough idea of what she saw just now, and frowned: "Outside, there's a lot of stuff to do, not to mention our family's servants and coachmen, even the escort company has many of them. "No matter how disrespectful she is, she is still an aunt. I will have to trouble Aunt to pass on my intentions. Don't insult the Fu Clan's reputation and embarrass yourself."

The Old Lai family's happiness was gone, after obstructing Cherry and the rest's carriage, they actually reprimanded Yao Lan in front of the crowd. He also said that she was frivolous, so it was inevitable that she would act frivolously. In the end, she was still an aunt, so no matter how frivolous she was, she should know how to be solemn.

Although Yao Lan and the rest's carriage was at the very end, with four to five servants following behind them, they heard what Yao Lan said clearly, not saying a single word. They only covered their mouths and laughed secretly, so embarrassed that Yao Lan could only jump out to strangle the Old Lai family.

However, she only dared to think about it in her heart. She was very clear on the identity of Old Lai's family in the Fu Family. Not just in front of the Lady Helan, even in front of Xu Mingwei, she was one of the few capable women. If she didn't get Xu Mingwei's approval for her reprimand today, one was an aunt, which meant that she was half a master, and the other was a servant, how could she have the guts to give him face in front of everyone?

"Aunt Yao, you heard me clearly. I was waiting for an answer from this old servant." Old Lai asked loudly, his tone full of sarcasm.

Yao Lan bitterly swallowed her saliva, raised her voice, and replied, "This servant knows my wrongs, and will not do such frivolous actions again in the future. I hope that Grandmother will forgive me."

Old Lai's face didn't reveal a smile as he said coldly, "Since Aunt is a sensible person, then everyone should relax." If you teach this old servant that someone is trying to seduce you again, don't blame this old servant for not giving you face. "

This sounded like an exaggeration, but no one present, not even the three concubines sitting in the carriage, dared to make a sound.

When they were finally gone, Yao Lan slammed her cup down in anger and shouted, "Halfway there, I met a mangy dog, but it thought it was a proper dog."

Li Hong stared at her, then laughed out loud: "Who told gamers to be so despicable, to walk on the dog path?"

Yao Lan turned her head to glare at her, and asked while holding back her anger, "Which one are you talking about?"

Li Hong was not afraid of her, and instead smiled, facing Yao Lan's gaze, "Which mouth is it from, that's what it is!"

"You! "You little slut, see if I don't rip your mouth off today." "" As he said that, he rushed towards Li Hong. The Little girl! Little girl in the carriage didn't stop for a moment, and took a bit of effort to separate the two.

Yao Lan wanted to struggle forward, but Cherry said one sentence coldly: "Do you think that the people you lost are not enough? Little girl! Little girl watched all the cars, all of them are lords, what a great leader! "
