Chapter 213 A Fool
"Congratulations, now you can have fun happily?" Xiao Jiuyue had guessed before that the Tang family doted on their daughter so much, and there was also Tang Jing, who was afraid that she would deceive Tang Tian. How could they allow Tang Tian's aunt to force her into a marriage that neither of them wanted?
"Yes, the Lotus Picking Feast is coming soon. I heard that all the young men and women in Hongdu are eager to try and win the title of Lotus Picking Fairy!" Tang Tian was looking forward to this Lotus Picking Feast to the extreme. She said regretfully, "What a pity, Sister Xiao is not here."
"Then you win my share." Xiao Jiuyue said this, and Tang Tian was very happy. She said, "Sister Xiao, I must win, so that I can pick more lotus seeds to take back!"
"Then I'll wait at home." Xiao Jiuyue said with a smile. Before leaving, she warmly invited: "Shaolan, when you come to Lancang County, remember to come and play with me."
"Of course." Sun Shaolan nodded repeatedly and said, "Sister Xiao, I will definitely come!"
Xiao Jiuyue's carriage slowly moved away until it turned a corner and the city wall of Hongdu Prefecture disappeared from sight. Only then did Sun Shaolan and Tang Tian hurriedly get on the carriage and leave.
Xiao Jiuyue returned to the carriage, leaned against it, and thought: Hongdu Mansion, she will come again.
In her ears, Tang Tian's last words when she left just now rang out: "Zhuang Xianxian fell ill when she returned. There is no movement from the Zhuang family for the time being. You don't have to worry. If there is anything, Shaolan and I will tell you the first time."
Xiao Jiuyue had already gotten used to the bumpy ride of the carriage. Shortly after leaving the city, Hua Qing and Dong Gui sped up the carriage, and several carriages were moving quickly in front and behind.
Hongdu Prefecture is very far away from Lancang County. If we can't speed up, we may not be able to make it to Jiayuan's school.
"Whoa."
The carriage, which had been moving rapidly, suddenly stopped.
"Miss, there's a situation ahead. I don't know whose carriage it is, but it's being targeted by three men in black." Hua Qing reported through the curtain.
Dong Gui said, "There must be a woman in the carriage. On this official road, they must be trying to kidnap her and destroy her reputation."
There were quite a lot of people coming and going on the official road, but everyone ran faster than rabbits because no one wanted to get into trouble.
"Miss, let me do some divination." Hua Qing took her divination stone and began to ask for divination again. Soon, she said, "Miss, this person should be saved."
“…”
Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched. Whether he could be saved or not depended on the two stones in her hand.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at the carriage ahead. Both the maids and the driver were protecting the people inside. She asked, "How confident are you?"
"Miss, this is the divination block passed down to me by the clan leader. It's a family heirloom of the Hua clan! It's very effective." Hua Qing saw that Xiao Jiuyue didn't quite believe the divination block in her hand, so she immediately explained. She put the divination block in her pocket and said, "I can easily defeat these little thieves!"
"Donggui." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Donggui, and Donggui immediately jumped off the carriage and walked forward.
Manager Jin, Jin Wen and the guards intentionally stayed by Xiao Jiuyue's side, looking around cautiously to ensure safety.
"Miss, I can do it too." Hua Qing clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could rush forward and take action.
"Hua Qing, please drive the carriage faster. It's most important to get home soon."
Xiao Jiuyue leaned against the carriage, Dong Gui took action, and the three men in black had no strength to resist at all. Ai Qiushi, who was at the end of the carriage, looked at this scene with his eyes lit up. If he could have such good skills, wouldn't he not be so sick like this?
"Miss, beating up these little thieves won't affect your driving." Hua Qing watched Dong Gui swiftly beat up the three men in black and returned. Hua Qing looked at Dong Gui and said, "If it were me, I would definitely be faster than you."
"If it were you, those people would have died." Dong Gui jumped onto the carriage road and said, "Miss, all three of them are still breathing."
"Very good." Xiao Jiuyue was relieved and said, "Then let's go."
Hua Qing was stunned: "Just leaving now?" She glanced at a girl who was being helped down from the carriage. She looked dignified and graceful.
"Hurry up, won't it be delayed if we don't move?" Donggui pulled the reins and shouted, and everyone started to move immediately, and the carriage slowly started to move.
The dignified and graceful woman quickly walked to the front of Xiao Jiuyue's carriage and saluted gracefully: "Thank you for saving my life."
Xiao Jiuyue lifted the curtain and saw the woman's face was unusually pale. She must have been frightened just now. Even though she was in trouble, she did not look embarrassed. Her voice was gentle and intellectual, and it was obvious that she was well-educated.
She smiled and said, "No need, it's just a piece of cake."
"My name is Zhuang Jingning. I don't know your benefactor's name. How can I repay him?" Zhuang Jingning's voice was gentle and intellectual, and her voice was neither hurried nor slow, like a spring breeze. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue with sincere gratitude in her eyes.
Xiao Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly as she said, "Xiao Jiuyue, meeting you today is fate. There's no need to talk about repaying or not. I have things to do. Miss Zhuang should go back early to avoid those people and their accomplices."
"Miss Xiao, how can I find you?" Zhuang Jingning asked again.
Xiao Jiuyue: "If we're destined to meet again, we'll meet again."
After saying that, Xiao Jiuyue lowered the curtain and the carriage slowly drove away. Luo Kui muttered, "There are quite a lot of people with the surname Zhuang in Hongdu Prefecture?" Zhuang Xianxian is quite annoying, and she happens to be the daughter of a prefect!
In the past, even the daughter of a prefect wouldn’t have the right to speak in front of the young lady.
"Miss, could it be that Miss Zhuang and Magistrate Zhuang are... a family?" Lianxin asked.
"How can it be such a coincidence?" Luo Kui looked at Lian Xin in shock, his eyes seemed to say: How can you think it is such a coincidence?
"Luo Kui, that girl just now seemed to be of unusual status, right?" Lian Xin asked.
Luo Kui nodded slightly: "I think she looks more like the prefect's daughter than Zhuang Xianxian."
"That's it, maybe we are a family." Lianxin also had this feeling. Zhuang Xianxian was like a person with his eyes on the top of his head. He was arrogant and conceited, and didn't take others seriously at all.
"Then, haven't we saved our enemy?" Luo Kui frowned.
Xiao Jiuyue chuckled: "If I'm not mistaken, the one just now should be the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family."
"The eldest daughter of the Zhuang family?" Luo Kui stood up excitedly, completely forgetting that she was in a carriage. She covered her head which was hit, and her facial features were squeezed together in pain.
"Luo Kui, I usually tell you not to be so impulsive. Did you hit your head?" Lian Xin said this, but she still reached out to rub her head and asked, "Let me take a look. Is there a bump?"
"I, am I not too excited?" Luo Kui simply sat on the carriage's footrest, looked up at Xiao Jiuyue, and asked doubtfully, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family is aloof and a bit of a fool, but today, it seems that's not the case."
