Chapter 169 Has Wei Mingde gone mad?
Ling Xuerou was secretly delighted, unaware that Yun Zhao didn't care at all.
She drank a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the morning and didn't eat much, so she didn't feel hungry at all.
Before long, Lu Xun and his men arrived in an oxcart.
Hearing the noise, Wang Quan turned his head and saw two cars swaying as they approached.
"Who goes there? This is an official procession, not some random nobody..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Hao waved to Lu Xun.
"Brother Lu, over here!"
Wang Quan then realized that the escorts they had been waiting for were actually these two vehicles!
land?
Ling Xuerou subconsciously looked up in the direction of the sound, and her eyes widened immediately.
It was him!
The head of Tingyu Pavilion, Mr. Lu, the Soul-Chasing Blade!
She secretly clenched her hands inside her sleeves, her suspicions growing wildly.
It is said that Mr. Lu of Tingyu Pavilion is the adopted son of Young Master Jun, which is why he is so devoted to him.
Does Mr. Lu's presence here mean that Wei Jingchen, whom she thought looked familiar, is actually Young Master Jun?
Wei Mingde's eldest son is actually Wei Junyan?
Has Wei Mingde gone mad?
The King of Loulan was guilty of treason, yet he actually recognized the Crown Prince of Loulan as his eldest son and even made him take the imperial examination!
Ling Xuerou finally understood.
The adoptive father and the biological father, two families, with nearly two hundred members, all died because of the emperor.
No wonder Wei Junyan acted like he was crazy.
During those years, he didn't care about the lives of others at all; he was determined to seize the emperor's empire!
Ling Xuerou suddenly became frightened.
Such a madman, what if the reborn person really is Wei Junyan?
My adoptive father is still alive.
Yun Zhao is still alive.
Could he be planning to hide on the road to exile and take the opportunity to kill her whole family?
Yes.
Besides Tingyu Pavilion, who else has the ability to quietly empty the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion overnight?
He delivered the evidence of the Marquis of Dingyuan's smuggling of salt directly to the Prefect of Jingzhao!
They used a trick on the road to get the two groups of exiles together.
He planned to take advantage of the dangers of exile to kill her entire family and avenge Yun Zhao!
After figuring all this out, Ling Xuerou's face turned deathly pale, and she trembled uncontrollably!
"Xue'er, what's wrong?"
Lin Shujing noticed her daughter trembling beside her and quickly picked her up.
Ling Xuerou subconsciously looked up at Wei Jingchen, and when she found that he wasn't paying attention to her, she swallowed hard, pretending to be calm.
"No, it's nothing."
She forced herself to calm down and pretended that she knew nothing.
Once Luo Qing saw that Lu Xun and the others had all arrived, he began to make arrangements for their departure.
The journey was relatively smooth until noon when they finally found a place to stop.
This time, Ling Xuerou didn't dare to make a scene again and just stayed quietly by Lin Shujing's side.
Before long, the aroma of meat wafted through the air.
She followed the scent and saw several maids by the fire in the crowd.
It was Zhichun and her friends!
Ling Xuerou suddenly stood up, looking at them in disbelief.
Weren't these maids sent to the Inner Court as lowly slaves in their previous lives, and eventually killed?
"Mother, those are the personal maids of the Princess Consort of Jin!"
"What? Shouldn't maids be sent to the Inner Court as lowly slaves?"
Lin Shujing was startled.
That's how her former personal maids were sent away!
As the maids handed Luo Qing bowls of tenderly stewed meat, Luo Qing beamed with joy.
Lin Shujing finally understood why they had stayed behind specifically to wait for these two cars.
So this maid bribed the officials with delicious food!
"Mother, Zhi Qiu's cooking skills are comparable to those of the imperial chefs!"
Ling Xuerou was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.
This time it was Yun Zhao's turn to tempt them.
"Mmm! Mother, this stewed meat smells so good! The pancakes are soaked in the meat juices, they're so delicious, Zhao Zhao loves them!"
Ling Xuerou: ...Learning from me?
Suddenly, the thin, runny broth in my hand didn't seem so appetizing anymore.
Ling Ruofeng was a grown man who had been used to eating delicacies, so this meat soup naturally could not satisfy his appetite.
The strong smell of meat in the air annoyed him greatly.
"Outrageous! I've raised her for five years, and she won't even give me her flesh if I give it to the Wei family! Even a dog knows loyalty, she's a complete ingrate!"
Listening to Ling Ruofeng's complaints, Ling Xuerou's hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched until they turned red.
She looked around at the people in Yun Zhao's group and then realized that Xu's fourth son was missing.
Moreover, Madam Xu and the others did not receive any stewed meat; they were only eating the coarse cornbread given to them by the officials.
Thinking of this, Ling Xuerou suggested, "Mother, why don't we ask Old Madam Xu?"
"They have such good relations with the officials, they might trip us up on the road!"
Lin Shujing sized up the Xu family members and disdainfully rebuked them: "Although Old Madam Xu is not Xu Qingyi's biological mother..."
But after raising her for so many years, how could they be so heartless as to not even give her a bowl of soup? What an ungrateful family!
"Xue'er, go give her this meat soup and ask these people what's going on!"
"Yes, Mother."
Ling Xuerou, carrying the last few drops of meat soup, quickly walked to Old Madam Xu.
"Madam, here's a bowl of meat soup for you!"
Madam Xu looked up in surprise and couldn't help but lick her lips.
"Mother said she was grateful for the old lady's five years of upbringing and asked Xue'er to bring the meat soup to the old lady."
Ling Xuerou played the role of a good granddaughter, and Madam Xu didn't have time to doubt her. She took the meat soup and dipped the cornbread in it to eat.
"Mother, please leave some for me!"
Seeing this, Xu Qingshi hurriedly stuffed her cornbread into the bowl and dipped it in the soup.
Madam Xu quickly moved away.
"Leave some for your nephew!"
Watching them scramble for a bowl of meat soup like beggars, Ling Xuerou couldn't help but feel secretly pleased.
Those who used to be arrogant and haughty now have no choice but to beg her!
"Madam, how did you all end up in such a terrible state? Where is Fourth Uncle? Why can't we find him?"
Ling Xuerou asked, feigning concern.
Speaking of her son, Madam Xu felt both heartache and anger.
"It makes me angry just thinking about it, all because of that wretched girl Yun Zhao! She killed my son!"
She spoke through gritted teeth about what had happened in the past few days, including Yun Zhao's tiger-raising business.
"Raising tigers?!"
Ling Xuerou was startled.
I'd never heard of her before; I never knew she had such an ability!
Why is it that in this second life, so many things seem different?
"For some reason, the tigers don't usually follow me when we go into town."
They would follow Lu Xun once they left the city, but I haven't seen him today.
Xu Qingshi muttered.
"By the way, why do I see that she has a good relationship with the Wei family? I never saw the two families interacting when I was in the Prince of Jin's residence."
She asked again.
The Xu family is too busy taking care of themselves to have any time to worry about the Wei family.
But Xu Qingshi also realized that Ling Xuerou didn't like Yun Zhao.
She pondered to herself, speaking before Old Madam Xu could.
"It's all because of Yun Zhao! She only helped Yun Zhao clean a fish, and she rushed to help the Wei family!"
"Is she clinging to that eldest son of the Wei family?"
Ling Xuerou asked.
"That's right! Everyone calls him 'Brother Jingchen' all the time! Unlike you, who are so kind and still think of us!"
She had thought that Ling Xuerou would be very happy.
Unexpectedly, Ling Xuerou's expression suddenly turned ugly after hearing these words.
