Chapter 4 Wait and See

Finally, the family of four got on the carriage.

"Brother Zhuang, didn't you say that you would stay and guard..." Why did the other three agree to go together?

Li Shan was puzzled. He glanced at the carriage behind him, moved closer to Shen Tao, and asked in a low voice.

It would have been fine if he didn't say anything, but once he did, Shen Tao became even more angry and irritated, and the place where he was kicked by that woman hurt even more.

Is this what he wants?

Damn it, I don’t know what’s wrong with this bitch. She bites whoever she catches like a mad dog. Fortunately, I stopped myself in the end, otherwise I would have messed up the master’s business and he wouldn’t have been able to go back.

He glanced at the sky and said, "Hurry up."

They had calculated the time this time, but they didn't expect to be delayed for so long. Now they have to speed up so that they can arrive before the city gate closes.

"Brother Tao, it's getting dark, and we're already going very fast." If we speed up any further, something bad might happen.

Shen Tao turned his head and glared at him, "Do I still have to listen to you?!"

Nothing good will happen if you meet this bastard!

Pooh!

Li Shan shrank his neck, pulled the reins obediently, raised the whip and lashed it at the horse's butt: "Hurry!"

The horse felt pain and raised its hooves to run as fast as it could.

Because of the sudden acceleration, the people in the carriage lost their balance in an instant. Seeing his wife and children staggering and about to hit the wall of the carriage, Shen Yanrong quickly grabbed them into his arms, and he himself hit the wall heavily.

"Brother Rong, how are you?"

“Daddy!”

"Mother!"

"Haohao, Yueyue, are you okay?"

“…”

Listening to the anxious, nervous and worried voices inside, Shen Tao wanted to laugh out loud.

Haha, fight him!

retribution!

The carriage gradually drove away from Yunshan Village, galloping all the way, and finally entered the city before the city gate closed.

Driving on the wide and smooth streets of the capital, the family in the carriage all breathed a sigh of relief. The journey was very bumpy, and even little Yunhao and little Xinyue, who were sitting in their parents' arms, felt very uncomfortable.

The capital city is indeed the most prosperous place in the entire Dayong Dynasty. Even when the city gates are about to be closed and curfew is approaching, it is still very lively.

only,

The hustle and bustle had nothing to do with the people in the carriage.

As the Shen family got closer, Lu Yao became more and more nervous and heavy-hearted, and she had no idea what the reason was for calling someone back this time.

The short two years she lived in the Shen family and the few times she visited them later left Lu Yao with very bad memories. If possible, she really didn't want to set foot in that wealthy family compound that was envied by countless people again.

Shen Yanrong held her hand: "I won't let you suffer any more injustice."

Lu Yao shook her head. This was not what she was worried about, but she did not explain.

The two children sitting in their parents' arms were extremely well-behaved and sensible. They just looked towards the curtains with their eyes, obviously very curious about the outside. But they also knew that they were going to the very big house, so they leaned quietly in their parents' arms.

Lu Yao rubbed the heads of the two little guys one by one, feeling a little distressed. She glanced at the man beside her, but finally said nothing.

How could Shen Yanrong feel good? Whenever he thought about everything that had happened over the years, he was filled with guilt. After all, he owed the three of them, mother and son, too much...

"This is the last pot. I'll close the stall once it's sold out!"

"Tanghulu, big and sweet Tanghulu."

"Grandma's dear grandson, where are you running to? We have to go back."

“…”

Passing through a busy street, little Xinyue listened to the noises coming from outside and could no longer hold back. She quietly moved her little butt closer to the car window, opened a small corner and looked outside.

When she saw the gorgeously dressed people and the dazzling array of goods, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide. So this is what the city is like.

She grew up in the countryside and had the most contact with her parents and the people in the village. Her brother said that she had also been here, but she was too young to have any memory of it.

Lu Yao wanted to tell her child not to look around, but she swallowed the words back. After all, they, as parents, were letting their child down.

However, little Xinyue was very sensible. She only looked for a while before lowering the curtain and leaning obediently in her mother's arms again.

Lu Yao poked Shen Yanrong and asked with her eyes. The latter nodded without hesitation.

"Mom will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?" She looked at the two children and promised.

The two children's eyes lit up, and then they frowned.

They want to go out and play, but they are not ignorant children.

"Mom, I won't go out." Little Xinyue clenched her fists. She was not attracted by the outside world. She just wanted to take a look out of curiosity.

Xiao Yunhao looked at his sister, whose face was filled with anticipation but whose eyes were tightly closed, and asked uncertainly, "Is it okay?"

Xiao Yunhao is six years old now. He was born smart and knows a lot about the situation at home. In addition, he has memories since he was very young. He hates those people in the Shen family and feels sorry for his parents. However, because he is young, he can't do anything. He can only try his best not to cause trouble for his parents and become an excuse for those people to find fault.

"Okay," Shen Yanrong spoke up this time, "Dad and Mom will accompany you tomorrow."

Little Xinyue opened her eyes in disbelief. After getting a positive answer from her parents, she was so happy that her smiling eyes turned into two small crescents.

Xiao Yunhao, however, looked mature and said, "No need to accommodate us."

Every time they went to the Shen family, they would encounter all kinds of strange things. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they would come and go in a hurry. He didn't want to make his parents embarrassed because of him and his sister.

Shen Yanrong patted his little head and said, "Don't think too much at such a young age."

Lu Yao originally planned to bring her two children out, but after hearing what the man said, she didn't agree.

Shen Yanrong gave her a reassuring look.

Since I have decided to leave here, there is no need to worry anymore. Before leaving, I must let my wife and children have a good time.

Shen Tao, who was in the front, looked at the lowered curtain and sneered, saying, "What a shameless country bumpkin who has never seen the world."

He rubbed his leg which still ached slightly. He would definitely repay the revenge double for today's revenge.

The carriage drove into a side street, turned into an alley, and made many twists and turns. People who were not familiar with the topography of the capital could easily be confused.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally stopped slowly.

"Master Yan, we're here."

Li Shan's voice was heard outside the car door.

Chen Yanrong lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside. There was no light in the dim alley, but his eyesight was pretty good. He could vaguely make out some outlines and roughly guess where this place was.

He lowered the curtain, put Xiao Yunhao in his arms aside, and planned to go down to see the situation first, but he heard Shen Tao's sarcastic voice:

"Master Yan, do you want us to urge you to get out of the car?"

"Yes, you are the master..."

The carriage curtain was lifted at this moment. Shen Tao was startled and taunted angrily: "Oh, Master Yan finally decided to come out?"

Shen Yanrong ignored his ridicule and looked at the small door in front of him, sneering: "This is really putting you in a difficult position."
