Chapter 168 Yun Zhao, just you wait!
Ling Ruofeng led his wife and daughter out of the room. The officials outside the door were already prepared to leave.
The back door of the inn.
Xu Yifei had no idea who was about to emerge and paid no attention to it.
The next moment, Luo Qing woke everyone up, and they unconsciously looked towards the door.
Ling Xuerou, like a proud peacock, led Lin Shujing out of the inn with her head held high.
"Ling Xuerou?"
Xu Yifei blurted it out.
"Oh, what a small world! It's you, you naughty girl!"
He rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward.
Ling Ruofeng immediately stepped in front of his wife and daughter, staring at Xu Yifei with a dark expression.
"With me here, don't even think about bullying my daughter again!"
"Huh? Who are you people? I'm not like you, bullying the weak!"
When Xu Yifei thought of his niece being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall by this man, he felt an urge to give him a good beating!
"Uncle!"
Yun Zhao was worried that he would get into a conflict with Ling Ruofeng, so he quickly went over and pulled him away.
Xu Yifei picked her up and comforted her, "Don't worry, Zhaozhao, your uncle won't stoop to the level of someone like that!"
Over the course of time, he gradually learned to control his temper.
If he weren't worried about causing trouble for his family, he would have beaten Ling Ruofeng up first!
"My uncle is awesome!"
Yun Zhao gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, which made Xu Yifei burst into laughter.
Ling Xuerou then realized that Xu Yifei was not wearing handcuffs!
She looked at the Xu family members suspiciously, then reached out and tugged at Ling Ruofeng's sleeve, pretending to be afraid.
"Father, don't stoop to the level of a brute. Look, he's not wearing shackles, but he can really hurt when he hits you!"
Upon hearing her words, Ling Ruofeng noticed that the brute from the Xu family was not wearing shackles!
He shouted angrily, "What's wrong with you? You didn't even remember to put handcuffs on the prisoners you were escorting! If anyone gets injured because of this, can you take responsibility?"
Xu Yifei rolled his eyes, stuffed his little niece into his third brother's arms, and lifted the handle of the wooden cart with one hand.
"Sir Luo, aren't we still on our way?"
Luo Qing nodded, ignored Ling Ruofeng, and walked to the front of the group.
"Set off!"
Feeling ignored, Ling Ruofeng was about to lash out when Wang Quan immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"Please don't be angry, sir. I've already discussed it with Luo Qing. We'll only be traveling together on the surface."
In reality, they are unrelated; no matter what happens, they'll be there to clear the way.
It's safer for us to follow behind; we won't worry about the rest, what do you say?
To put it bluntly, you can't control him, and he can't control you.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xuerou, who was behind her, secretly rejoiced.
“Father, this is for the best. It will save them from using our kindness in raising us to curry favor with us.”
Ling Ruofeng was somewhat pleased.
"Hmph! Didn't I raise her for five years too? All things considered, they still owe us. Don't even think about getting involved! Let's go!"
Wang Quan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched him finally leave.
These important people are really hard to please, and money is hard to earn!
Luo Qing's group had significantly more people than Wang Quan's group, and they passed in front of the three members of the Ling family.
Ling Xue Rou initially paid no attention to them, but when someone passed by her, her eyes widened in surprise.
My body even trembled twice involuntarily.
This person looks so familiar!
"Father, whose family is that behind the Xu family?"
She quickly lowered her voice and asked.
"The Wei family, the Minister of Revenue? What, you've seen them in your dreams?"
Ling Ruofeng lowered his head and asked.
"That boy looks a lot like the young master from my dream!"
"Who? Wei Jingchen? Impossible, how could the eldest son of the Wei family be that person!"
Ling Ruofeng immediately denied his daughter's statement.
Anyone could be the "Young Master Jun" that the daughter speaks of, but the eldest son of the Wei family could never be.
Why did Father say that?
In her previous life, Ling Xuerou had only seen Young Master Jun's true face once.
But this eldest son of the Wei family, apart from lacking that man's ruthlessness, is indeed very similar to the young master Jun ten years later.
Speaking of Young Master Jun, Ling Ruofeng lowered his voice, afraid that others would overhear.
"The eldest son of the Wei family is known as a gentleman as jade, a very gentle and talented young man, while the young master you speak of..."
Yet he was a ruthless killer who ultimately overthrew the country; these two were complete opposites!
Ling Xuerou suddenly remembered that she had seen the eldest son of the Wei family at a palace banquet.
However, her memories of her past life were so distant that she had almost forgotten them.
Her breath caught in her throat, and she quickly asked, "Mother, do you remember seeing Young Master Wei at the palace banquet before?"
Lin Shujing pondered for a moment, then shook her head.
"Probably not. At the palace banquet, we were nobles, while the Wei family were just newly appointed ministers."
They are never seated together, and only attend the New Year's Eve palace banquet together.
Zhao...Yun Zhao has only attended two New Year's Eve palace banquets. I think even if they've met, they probably haven't had any interaction.
Despite saying that, Ling Xuerou did not give up on the idea.
As they followed each other out of the city, Ling Xuerou's gaze remained fixed on Wei Jingchen.
Yun Zhao sat down next to Xu Yiyan, turned around to chat with Xu Yifei, but secretly glanced at Ling Xuerou.
Noticing that she was staring in the direction of the Wei family, Yun Zhao secretly became wary.
Once outside the city, before Lu Xun and his men, who had taken a detour, could catch up, Luo Qing decided to rest on the spot.
But as soon as they left the city, Wang Quan removed the shackles from the Ling couple.
Xu Yifei stared wide-eyed in surprise, and was about to speak when Yun Zhao grabbed his arm.
The words that were about to come out were immediately swallowed back down.
After putting away the shackles, Wang Quan noticed that Luo Qing had no intention of continuing. After thinking for a moment, he stepped forward.
"Hey Luo, why aren't you leaving?"
"We have a few guards here, and it may take them a while to catch up. Perfect timing, haven't you all had breakfast yet?"
They entered the city very early, so they shouldn't have had breakfast yet.
Wang Quan was dumbfounded.
What kind of guards are needed to escort the officials?
They agreed to stay out of each other's business, so Wang Quan could only stay where he was and wait.
"Let's rest here for now."
Wang Quan gave the order, and the officials began to build bonfires.
The meat broth and steamed buns we took from the inn can be heated up over the fire and eaten.
Surprisingly, Wang Quan and the others were the first to serve the meat soup to the Ling family of three, bowing and scraping with the same respect as servants.
Yun Zhao stared at them, beginning to wonder which family the Ling family was under the protection of.
Ling Xuerou noticed her gaze and subconsciously straightened her back.
"Mother, the meat soup is delicious today!"
She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone else could hear what she was saying.
She thought Yun Zhao and the others would be envious, but Yun Zhao immediately looked away after hearing her words.
In fact, Luo Qing and the others had already eaten breakfast.
Moreover, the meals were prepared by Zhichun's maids, whose skills were comparable to those of the imperial chefs in the palace!
They had been eating the meals prepared by Zhichun and others for many days, and their appetites had long been whetted.
Now that we're out of the city, waiting a few more quarters of an hour isn't out of the question.
Therefore, when Luo Hao and the others saw the thin and watery meat soup in Ling Xuerou's bowl, they had no interest at all.
Seeing this, Ling Xuerou could only sneer inwardly.
See? Even though they were both exiles, she could drink the meat soup served to her by the officials with both hands.
Yun Zhao could only pretend not to envy the meat soup in her hand!
Yun Zhao, I was able to kill you in the last life, and I will definitely be able to trample you under my feet in this life!
