On the way back, Lu Yuan was in a daze for a long time.
No wonder she felt an invisible sense of oppression when she first met Xiao Lingyu.
She is actually the Princess Protector of the Country!
No wonder she can teach children to read and write, and the clothes she makes for them are so beautiful.
Not only that, she can also paint, knows medicine, and can make unique perfumes and birthday cakes...
What's even more outrageous is that her business acumen is even better than hers!
She should have realized that for a person to have many skills, each of which is excellent, it takes a lot of effort to cultivate, which is something that ordinary wealthy people cannot do.
This world is very snobbish. Her family was in trouble. Normally, everyone would blame her when she fell. Even if she was married to Guihua Village, she could have been sent there by ordinary officials. But she was escorted here by the county magistrate himself.
If there was no hidden agenda, it was that the county magistrate was thinking that she would return to the capital one day, and in order to smooth his official career, he was trying to curry favor with her in advance.
"Mother, since I won't be sending you any rare ingredients for the time being, I want to go to Wuling County with you. I have supernatural powers and I want to be your personal bodyguard."
Xiao Xier hugged Xiao Lingyu and acted coquettishly, "I can't sleep if mommy is not around. You must take me with you when you go to Wuling County."
Su Ningwen was naive this time. He had a feeling that his parents would be in trouble if they left, so he decided to go with them. "Mom, you've been away for so long, there's no one to teach us. We've fallen behind in our studies, and it might be difficult for us to pass the Tongsheng exam. Should we take our books and follow them?"
Su Ningjie touched his chin and said nothing.
He was thinking about how to make his ignorant elder brother, third younger brother and sister obey him and go back home.
"You better be good and stay home."
Xiao Lingyu looked at the three clingy children and felt helpless.
The problem with having many children is that they follow them wherever they go.
"Brother, come with me." Su Ningjie pulled Su Ning'an back to his room.
After half a cup of tea, he called Su Ningwen into his room.
Half a cup of tea later, Xiao Lingyu saw the three brothers coaxing Xiao Xier to the study.
"Brothers, what's wrong?"
Su Ning'an just heard Su Ningjie say that his parents went to Wuling County to protect Xiao Xier. It was not difficult to guess that they were going to meet the villain who persecuted his sister.
"Sister, we have to give Dad a chance and let him protect Mom. I have great strength and can protect Mom, but Dad's martial arts skills can't be used. Mom can't see our Dad's abilities and may not like us. If Mom leaves and goes back to her parents' home, we coax her and act cute, and she will definitely take the four of us siblings back with her, but she won't take Dad with her. What will Dad do? Are we going to abandon him? But we can't do that."
Xiao Xier said confidently: "Mom loves Dad very much, and Dad loves Mom very much too. You don't have to worry about this."
Su Ningjie said, "My eldest brother-in-law has been away from home these days because he is helping my eldest sister check the accounts of restaurants in various counties. This is so that my eldest sister has more time to recuperate and is free to send me to Guihua Village. My eldest brother-in-law is doing this because he truly cares about my eldest sister. We will not go with him this time. Let our father take good care of mother and let mother know that our father truly cares about her."
Su Ningwen said, "If we don't let Mother know that our Father truly loves her and dotes on her, then when Mother returns to her parents' home in the future, she won't come back to be our mother, nor will she marry our Father anymore."
Xiao Xier thought it made some sense, "But it takes a long time for my parents to be gone..."
Su Ningwen said, "We need to be sensible. We stick to mother and follow her wherever she goes. She will be tired too. But that's because she can't bear to be mean to us. If Guiwa's mother were our mother, she might not have the patience to coax us and might even be mean to us."
"Third brother is right." Su Ning'an said hurriedly: "Maybe he will even spank us with a feather duster."
Xiao Xier was so scared that her heart tightened. If it were someone else, the four of them would really be beaten.
"Okay, I won't go with you. I'll stay at my second brother's house for a few days."
Su Ningjie breathed a sigh of relief. He comforted his sister and found that she was very sensible.
"Dad and Mom, we won't go with you. Instead, you should come back early and not keep us waiting for too long."
Su Xingyi was very excited. If the children didn't go with him, it meant that he would have more time to spend with Xiaoyu.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know what Su Ningjie had said to them that made them change their minds, but in any case, she didn't need to waste any more words.
"Okay, you're good. We'll be back as soon as we're done. It won't take long."
Two days later.
After Su Xingyi distributed the rare ingredients, he and Xiao Lingyu sent the four children to the Lu Mansion Villa.
After exhorting each other for half an incense stick of time, the couple, along with Zhu Xu, Yan Wei, Su Yun, Su Ying and several guards arranged by Lu Yuan, boarded the Lu family's merchant ship and headed north to Wuling County.
Wang Lin got off the merchant ship and went to a wonton stall not far from the dock and ordered two large bowls of wontons.
A moment later, a little beggar wearing clean patched clothes stood not far away and stared at them.
Wang Lin frowned, and when the wonton shop owner shouted to chase him away, he asked for a bowl of wontons.
"Eat it."
The little beggar said, "You are indeed a good person."
Wang Lin smiled and ignored him, then heard the little beggar whisper, "Brother Wang Lin, Brother Ming asked you to come with me to find him."
!!!!!!
Wang Lin quickly looked around, "Who is the Brother Ming you are talking about?"
The little beggar said, "Brother Ming asked me to come find you. He said that when you get off the boat you will definitely sit down to eat and eat with your left hand."
Wang Lin glanced at his left hand holding the soup spoon and said, "Okay, lead the way."
Si Mingming was worried that his identity would be exposed, so Wang Lin checked out of Ruyi Inn the day after he left Wuling County.
He rented a yard behind Linglongge Hutong and paid some beggars nearby to help him keep an eye on people.
"Brother Ming, why are you here?" Wang Lin followed the little beggar into the yard.
Si Mingming sent the little beggar to Ruyi Inn to keep an eye on him.
"The person in the painting is so clever. I live next door to him, and if I stay there for a long time, he'll inevitably become suspicious."
Wang Lin said, "Brother Ming is really thoughtful. Madam asked us to buy a large house and several warehouses in Wuling County."
Si Mingming quickly understood Lu Yuan’s intention. It was brilliant, really brilliant!
Si Mingming immediately made some arrangements and rushed to the pawnshop with Wang Lin.
When the carriage came out of the alley, Si Mingming covered his face with a folding fan and glanced at the Ruyi Inn opposite, only catching a glimpse of Lu Yuan's side face.
Si Mingming pursed his lips and had some fun.
Tai Zhuo knew nothing about all this.
"Lu Yuan, how many days have they been gone?"
"It has been four days since my return, my Lord. We will see them returning in three days."
Tai Zhuo knocked on the tea table and said, "After lunch, you will set off for Fenglin County, right?"
"Yes, sir."
