Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Qizhe reached out his big hands and grabbed Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling, preventing them from falling out of the car.
The driver lifted the curtain and apologized hastily, "Miss Yu and Master Yu Wu, are you okay?"
"Why did it stop suddenly?" Yu Jiao asked.
"Master Yu and his companions' carriage suddenly stopped. I'll go over and ask." The coachman jumped off the carriage and walked to the front.
Yu Jiao looked ahead and saw that something had happened to the carriage that Yu Jinshu and his companions were riding in. One of its wheels had sunk into a pit and the carriage was tilted. Yu Qiaoshan and his companions had already jumped off the carriage.
It turned out that the carriage in front was running fine, but somehow the originally flat dirt road suddenly fell into a big hole when the wheels passed over it, and the left wheel fell directly into the hole.
The two drivers discussed it and decided that they had to lift the wheel out of the pit, and Yu Qiaoshan called Yu Zhizhou to come forward to help.
Yu Jinshu was rubbing his forehead and cursing. His head hit the wall of the car, leaving a big bump on his forehead.
The wheel sank too deep and was stuck in the pit. The carriage was made of sunken wood and was extremely heavy. The four men lifted it for a long time but were unable to get the wheel up. Seeing this, Yu Qizhe also got off the carriage to help.
At Shilipu, a black carriage with a green curtain covering the roof was speeding. Gu Yun would lift the curtain from time to time to look ahead. After leaving the city, he had urged Liuzi, who was driving, twice.
Liu Ziqi was playing chess with himself, holding a black and white chess piece in his hand. He teased, "Why are you so anxious to catch up with the Yu family's carriage? Miss Yu Jiao's brother said it's inconvenient to travel together."
Gu Yun lowered the car curtain and denied, "How could I chase them? I am just worried about you. You must want to get to Changkui as soon as possible."
Liu Ziqi smiled softly, put down a black piece, looked up at him, and said, "I'm not in a hurry. All these years have passed. There's no need to rush now."
Gu Yun was speechless. He was silent for a while, but couldn't help wanting to lift the curtain to look outside. He couldn't help muttering to himself, "They left earlier than us. Is it because our horses are not good enough? Why can't we see their carriage now?"
Liu Ziqi smiled and said, "Liu Zi picked a fat and vigorous red chestnut horse. It's only a matter of time before he catches up with Miss Yu. But I'm curious, why are you so eager to catch up with her?"
Gu Yun felt guilty for a moment when he looked at her with such a clear gaze, and she defended herself dryly, "I just think she's interesting. There aren't many women like her. Besides, it's still unknown whether Xiao Ning's hand can be restored to its original state. The place she gave us might be a fake place to stay. If it doesn't work, we can follow her to find out where she lives so that we can settle accounts with her later."
Liu Ziqi smiled slightly and teased, "It's rare to see you care so much about a girl."
"How could I care about her?" Gu Yun refused to admit it. "That girl's medical skills are weird. I just think it's interesting. I never thought of her as a girl. What girl is like her?"
Thinking of Yu Jiao's arrogant and confident look, Gu Yun couldn't help but curl his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes. He had seen well-behaved ladies, pretentious ladies from famous families, and domineering young ladies from aristocratic families, but he had never seen anyone like her.
When they first met, he had murderous intentions, but she didn't seem to be scared. Instead, she was incredibly calm and tried every way to find a way to survive. Her courage and conversation didn't seem like someone from a poor country family at all.
Most girls from humble families are timid and humble. When they meet a young man of noble birth like him, they have to be cautious and cling to him. But she, on the other hand, healed Xiao Ning's hand and then turned her back on him.
I really don’t know what kind of family can raise a girl like this, Gu Yun complained in his heart.
Liu Zi, who was driving, said outside, "Sir, Young Marquis Gu, we are going to take the official road. The road is not very smooth. Can we still drive fast? I'm afraid it will be very bumpy."
"Your master and I can handle it, you just keep running. But Liuzi, is this horse not fed enough? Why is it running so slowly?" Gu Yun said as he lifted the carriage curtain.
Liuzi smiled bitterly and said, "Young Marquis, the horse is well fed. I chose the best fodder for it."
"Then hurry up. If you see two carriages with the word Mu marked in front of you, stop." Gu Yun said.
On the other side, the Mu family's coachman unloaded the horse and tied it to a tree on the side of the road. Yu Qiaoshan and five or six others were working together to lift the wheel when suddenly dozens of people rushed out from the woods nearby and rushed straight towards the carriage where Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling were.
