After having lunch early, Shen Cheng, who had taken people out of the city to scout the road conditions, came back and said, "General, the snow outside the city has melted. We can set off now."
Tian Mingwu stood up and ordered, "Everyone, get ready quickly. We'll set off in a quarter of an hour."
Although the snow on the road had melted, it was still muddy. Even the heavy and stable carriage that Tian An and the others were riding in was shaking, not to mention the ordinary carriages that the children of officials were riding in behind.
Not to mention the women, even the men were shaken to the point of being dizzy, vomiting and complaining.
But Tian An was fine this time. She didn't know if it was the preserved fruits that worked, but she was actually fine.
Seeing this, Tian An immediately asked Deng Xue to take a few bags of preserved fruits and distribute them to everyone.
Zhao Yiming felt so distressed when he saw Tian An distributing her own rations to others, fearing that she would not have enough to eat. But he could not stop her. He could not let those people keep clamoring to stop the car and delay the journey!
Moreover, some of them are children of important officials and loyal ministers. We cannot go too far. If we had known earlier, we should have taken over all the stores.
Tian An was in good spirits today. He felt bored staying in the carriage, so he suggested riding a horse with Zhao Yiming.
Thinking that the team was not moving very fast at the moment, it would be okay for her to come out and get some fresh air, Zhao Yiming agreed, "You have to go back to the carriage after riding for a while."
"Okay." Tian An agreed readily.
Zhao Yiming asked her to stick close to him and wrapped her completely with his cloak, leaving only her head exposed.
Even though Zhao Yiming was riding a horse outside in the cold wind, his body was full of heat, and Tian An leaning against him was like a natural heater, keeping him very warm.
Sitting on horseback, the view was great. Tian An looked at the scenery and then looked at the entire team.
Suddenly her eyes fell on a few carriages in the middle of the team, and she pointed at them and asked, "Who are sitting in those carriages?"
Zhao Yiming looked back in the direction she pointed and said, "They are the women trained by Prince Wenxuan."
"How do you think the emperor will deal with them?" Tian An was a little curious. The emperor couldn't do the same thing as Prince Wenxuan!
Originally, it was forbidden to discuss the Holy Heart casually, but Tian An was curious, so Zhao Yiming said something, “The Holy Lord is kind and will probably send them back to their original homes first.
If they don't have a home, they will most likely be sent to the palace music hall."
After hearing this, Tian An said with some regret, "I was thinking that if no one wants it, I'll take it over and train two singing girls to run a singing and dancing club and sell tickets or something."
"Haha." Zhao Yiming couldn't help but tickle her slender waist. "You're really careless. The clinic hasn't even opened yet! And you're already thinking about the dance hall."
Tian An had told him about the singers of their era, so when he first heard that Tian An wanted to open a dance hall, he did not feel disgusted or resistant.
But when it comes to the clinic, Tian An's attention is instantly drawn. "I've been out for so long, I wonder if Yuhong and the others have been slacking off."
Capital city, Duke Zhao’s mansion.
Zhao Ningsong and Wang Shi spent a lot of money to hire a killer this time. Although the good news of Zhao Yiming and Tian An's death has not yet been reported, they feel that this matter is a foregone conclusion.
He became more and more unscrupulous in his actions in the mansion.
Unable to get the key to the warehouse, they simply had someone break down the door and prepare to empty the warehouse directly.
Unfortunately, Madam Xiao and the servants in Tongxin Courtyard are determined to guard the mansion for their master until their death, so they will not let them succeed.
Finally, Xiangtao took the remaining secret guards and bodyguards to stop them, and the two sides started fighting directly.
Zhao Ningsong and Wang Shi used all their family fortunes to hire assassins, and the men they had were still the same small fry as before, who were no match for the other party's elite troops.
In the end, he was just like a deliveryman, and was beaten up. Even the two masters, Zhao Ningsong and Wang, were beaten up a lot, and their bruised faces and noses were almost hilarious.
The two men shouted that Xiangtao and the others were evil slaves who bullied their master, and they wanted to report to the police to have them all arrested.
Xiang Tao was stunned. She had just beaten the man in a hurry and ignored this problem. But now that she had beaten him, she might as well go all out and had people block all the doors in and out of the mansion.
If he wanted to report to the authorities, he would have to go somewhere! As long as they held out until their two masters returned, they wouldn't have to be afraid of him.
This time, Zhao Ningsong and his wife couldn't beat the man in a fight, and they couldn't go out to report to the police. They were in a dilemma.
Zhao Qianhua, the troublemaker, was finally released and was now eager to show her abilities. Seeing her parents worried about this, she rolled her eyes and came up with a bad idea.
"Dad, Mom, we can't touch the Tongxin Courtyard, and we can't touch the storehouse either, but that bitch Concubine Xu and her daughter are from our Second House.
We can’t live in Tongxinyuan forever! It’s so troublesome! Why don’t we go and bring them back home? "
Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Zhao Ningsong and said, "Master, Qianhua is right! Concubine Xu and Shuhua are from our second house. How can they live in Tongxinyuan forever?"
This is just picking on the weak.
I have to say that these three people are indeed a family. Without the two of them saying much, Zhao Ningsong quickly understood what they meant.
He immediately clapped his legs and laughed: "That's right, even if Tongxinyuan can protect Concubine Xu for a while, what's the use? Can it protect her for a lifetime?
Aren't they pitying my concubine and illegitimate daughter? As a master, I can't do anything else, so torturing these two little bitches to vent my anger and annoy them is not bad."
However, they had learned their lesson this time and did not come to the house to ask for the person in a big way. Instead, they calmly prepared to reason with the old woman, Madam Xiao.
The concubine and the concubine's daughter were all his, Zhao Ningsong's, so how could he let them be imprisoned with a bunch of servants? Even in front of the emperor, he was the one who was right.
When the guard outside the courtyard gate saw the family of three coming again, he immediately took full precautions and sent someone to notify the people inside.
But this time, Zhao Ningsong did not act as usual. Instead, he politely said to Madam Xiao, "My concubine and daughter have disturbed me. Today, I have come specially to take them back.
Madam, please help me and ask someone to go in and call them out. It won’t look good if they keep staying at my nephew’s place.”
Nanny Xiao has lived for so many years, how could she not know what they are planning!
He immediately felt contempt for Zhao Ningsong. No wonder the old Duke and his wife had been gone for so many years, but he still hadn't been able to win the title of Duke from the Emperor.
People who torture their own women and children to disgust others will end up like this in their lives.
Her mind raced, and in just a few breaths she came up with a plan. "Oh! You've come at a very unfortunate time. Aunt Xu and Miss Shuhua just left Tongxin Courtyard a while ago, so I really can't help you call for help right now."
