As he spoke, he lashed her with the whip twice. The woman in pink was Xiao Bin's concubine, Aunt Bai. She was usually the most favored in the mansion. She had never suffered such hardship before and could not stand the disparity for a moment.
Thinking of the discussions of people in the capital along the way, and her former good sisters watching the fun on the roadside, they clearly had expressions of gloating on their faces when they saw her in such a miserable state.
So under the multiple pressures, Aunt Bai couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
The officer's name was Liu Yong. He used to work in the Ministry of War, where he was in charge of escorting exiled prisoners.
Originally, with his current position, he no longer had to lead the team himself, but this time, the people from the Duke of England's Mansion ordered him to lead the team personally.

Liu Yong had only one requirement for this escort mission, and that was to be safely transported to Lingnan.
Then hand over the job as soon as possible and settle down in Lingnan with his family.
He listened carefully to the Duke of England's words and was also sensitive to the turmoil in the capital.
If the world falls into chaos in half a year, hiding in Lingnan with the Duke of England is indeed the best choice now.
But along the way, it is inevitable to make some money to prepare for the future.
