As the night grew darker, Tian Mingwu, anxious to see his wife, was still galloping on his horse on the official road.
"General, we have been running all day. We need to stop and rest for a while." Chen Cheng said loudly, blocking the cold wind with his hands.
"Run a little longer. If I run a little longer now, I can see Wan'er sooner." If he wasn't afraid that the horse couldn't bear it, he would have wanted to run all night.
Fortunately, Tian Mingwu had some sense and stopped when he came across the inn.
The innkeeper heard the sound of horse hooves from a distance. When the sound gradually slowed down, he knew that a guest had arrived and hurried out to greet him: "Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay at our hotel?"
"Stay in the hotel." Tian Mingwu casually took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it to the waiter, then dismounted and threw the reins to him. "Feed me the best horse feed and take good care of the horse."
"Yes, yes, sir, don't worry, I promise to feed the horse the best horse feed." The waiter hurriedly put the silver into his mouth and bit it, then smiled and pulled the horse's reins.
As soon as the two of them entered the restaurant and sat down, the waiter came to greet them. "What would you like to eat, sir? It's cold, you'd better warm up with a bottle of wine."
"Warm up the pot! Do you have any roast chicken? Give me one, and two fried side dishes and four bowls of rice." Tian Mingwu said generously.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir." After the waiter said that, he quickly went to the kitchen.
It was rare for Shen Cheng to see his general so generous, and he sighed: "It's true that the general is different now that he has a wife."
Tian Mingwu glanced at him without saying anything. In the past, he would not be willing to eat like this when he went out, but since he knew that his daughter had a secret treasury, he changed his previous stingy habit.
Besides, he only planned to have a meal here tonight and would not stop to eat tomorrow, so he naturally had to eat well, otherwise he was afraid that the brat Chen Cheng would not be able to bear it.
It was getting late, and they were the only table eating in the inn lobby.
Fortunately, the kitchen served the food quickly. The two of them ate hot food and drank hot wine, and their bodies, which had been frozen outside, soon warmed up.
After being hungry for a day, the two were busy wolfing down their food and stopped talking.
After a delicious meal, Tian Mingwu asked the store to prepare some steamed buns and dried meat for them, and told them to take them away early the next morning. Then he checked into a cheap room and spent the night there.
Although he had some money, he would never spend it if he shouldn't. A bed was enough for two grown men, there was no need for anything fancy.
The next day, at dawn, Tian Mingwu got up and woke up Chen Cheng who was sleeping soundly.
After all, he was a military general. Even if he was sleeping soundly, Chen Cheng would wake up as soon as he was called. He quickly got dressed and washed up and hurried downstairs.
In the lobby, Tian Mingwu was already eating buns and drinking porridge.
Seeing that the steamed buns and dried meat that he had ordered last night were already on the table, Chen Cheng knew that Tian Mingwu was about to leave. He quickly sat down and finished his portion, wiped his mouth, picked up the dry food, stood up, and walked out first.
After he asked his servant to lead out the two men's horses and load up the dry food, Tian Mingwu also settled the bill and came out.
The two men jumped on their horses and continued galloping towards their destination.
In the capital, Peng Zhang, who had just returned from another place and was advised by Tian An to avoid bad love affairs, picked up a few pieces of the store's most precious cloth without saying a word after receiving Xiaokang's invitation and came to the general's mansion.
Tian An had previously noticed that Yuanyuan was pregnant and told him to be careful. After he returned, he told his mother about it.
Her mother was so angry that she cursed Yuanyuan's ancestors one by one, and then she decided to go all out and packed up Peng Zhang and sent him back to her parents' home overnight, asking him to avoid the limelight and come back later.
Then he quickly collected evidence that it was impossible for Peng Zhang to have had a relationship with Yuanyuan during this period of time, just in case.
Later, after Na and Yuanyuan had been waiting in the shop outside his house for several days without seeing him, they sent someone to Peng's house to inquire, only to find out that Peng had gone on a long trip and would not be back for several months.
She was so anxious that she brought her mother to Peng Zhang's house, hoping to force the baby in her belly to be born on him while he was away.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Peng was well prepared and didn't even let them in. She just started a fight at the door.
He rolled his eyes and waited for the mother and daughter to finish their performance, then he produced strong evidence on the spot and slapped them in the face, making a loud "slap" sound and causing them to lose a lot of fans.
After venting her anger, she told her servants to drive the mother and daughter away, so as not to bring bad luck to her doorstep.
Unexpectedly, seeing that there was no hope of marrying into the Peng family, Yuanyuan decided to go all out. She lay down on the ground on the spot, shouting that her stomach hurt. She insisted that a servant of the Peng family had touched her stomach and that she was going to have a miscarriage, and she wanted the Peng family to be responsible.
It looked like even if they couldn't eat the meat, they would still take a piece of the skin from the Peng family.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Peng was not one to be frightened. Ever since her servant reported that the mother and daughter had arrived, she had already asked someone to invite a doctor from Huichun Hall to wait outside the crowd.
At this time, he winked at the crowd outside, and the famous Doctor Zhang from Huichuntang came forward with an expression as if he was just passing by and saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. He pushed through the crowd and squeezed in front of Yuanyuan.
Before Yuanyuan's mother could react, he took Yuanyuan's pulse, frowned and said, "The girl's pulse is strong, the fetus is healthy, it doesn't look like a sign of miscarriage! But there is a surge of qi and blood, so the meals should be lighter." This immediately brought her back to her original state.
As soon as Doctor Zhang said this, the people watching the show at the door immediately understood what was going on. They started to scold the mother and daughter one after another, and they couldn't even raise their heads.
Finally, he even threatened that the mother and daughter had ugly eating habits and were bad people, and that no one would go into their shop from now on.
Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, the mother and daughter fled with their tails between their legs under the protection of their servants.
I heard that after Yuanyuan failed to find the Peng family, she had to settle for the second best and find Kong Xinju, the biological father of the child. Unfortunately, he was also a scumbag. He had pursued Yuanyuan relentlessly before, but after getting her, he felt that she was nothing special. He didn't even show up when they met and left everything to his mother to deal with.
When Mrs. Kong learned that the mother and daughter had first approached the Peng family and had no choice but to choose their family after they could no longer rely on them, she felt extremely humiliated.
Regardless of whether Yuanyuan was pregnant with the Kong family's child, she said directly, "You are secretly passing through Chencang and giving it to me privately. Either be my concubine or get out."
Yuanyuan's family was furious, but now everyone knew about this matter. If Yuanyuan didn't marry, she would have to become a nun in our family.
But she couldn't bear that kind of hardship, so she had to grit her teeth and agree.
Although Yuanyuan's love affair was resolved, Peng Zhang rarely went back to accompany his grandparents, so he stayed for a few more months. He didn't even attend Tian An's wedding. He only asked his parents to help prepare generous gifts. He only came back now.
Because he felt guilty about the friendship between the three of them, he became even more attentive.
