Chapter 211: Even acting in front of her...]
As for other things, as long as Qu Wenmin or that "master" doesn't come looking for her, she doesn't bother to care.
Early the next morning, Qu Wenmin, as Qin Mengyue had requested, sent people to escort the coolies back to their villages and towns one by one. As for the exile team, Qu Wenmin personally escorted them out of the valley and onto the official road.
At this moment, in an ordinary carriage in the distance, a hand lowered the raised curtains and said calmly, "Let's go."
The driver asked, "Master, are you going back to Beijing?"
The masked man in the carriage smiled and said, "No rush. It's a rare opportunity to come out, so stay a few more days."
The driver said, "Yes."
The masked man looked at the exile team from afar through the window screen, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips hidden under the mask.
The deposed Crown Princess? She's quite... a strange woman...
After the exile team turned to the official road, Qu Wenmin took his men away without further entanglement.
This surprised Shen Fenghe a little.
What exactly is Qu Wenmin planning?
Chen Wuxian took everyone back to the village where they had stayed before, retrieved the mule carts and other things stored in the village, and then set off again.
The people in the village who were captured were also grateful to Chen Fenghe for standing up for them, which allowed them to be released in the end. Therefore, they gave Chen Fenghe a lot of bacon, dried chilies, dried beans, garlic and so on.
Chen Fenghe declined for a long time, but finally had to accept it.
Everyone set off again, but regarding the gold mine, Chen Wu also received a hint from Qu Wenmin's people, and warned the exiled people that they must never tell anyone about the gold mine.
Although he was not as simple-minded as those villagers and did not truly regard Qu Wenmin as a good man who saved them from the den of thieves, he also knew that the mouth could cause trouble.
Daring to mine gold illegally is a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of one's family. Who would dare to do it if they don't have some background?
So it's best to just pretend nothing happened.
Naturally, Shen Fenghe was also happy to see this happen. If the news of this gold mine became known to everyone, wouldn't the missing 100,000 taels of gold and the raw gold ore become the target of everyone's desperate search and snatching?
By that time, it would be hard to avoid revealing any clues about my own space.
The exile team walked for a while, and then heavy snow began to fall. Chen Fenghe tightened his cloak and couldn't help looking up at the sky.
This damn weather is really cold.
Although she was still holding the small stove that Xiao Yunshuo had given her, her nose was still frozen red.
When Xiao Yunshuo saw that it started to snow, he gave up the carriage to Qin Mengyue and a few little ones, and he and Shen Fenghe continued to ride in her mule cart.
Seeing this, Chen Fenghe couldn't help but say, "Master Yun, this mule cart doesn't have any shelter from the wind and snow. Master Yun's carriage may not be big, but it's okay to squeeze in. Why do you have to suffer the cold with me?"
She somewhat didn't want to be alone with Xiao Yunshuo.
If you know that a relationship will not have any future, it is best to nip it in the bud, which is the easiest way to save yourself the trouble.
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at her with his dark eyes and said, "With Madam Qin in the car, it's a bit awkward."
Chen Fenghe: “…”
That's your mother...
Even in front of her...
Since she couldn't drive the person away, she had no choice but to sit as close to the edge of the car as possible to keep some distance from Xiao Yunshuo.
No, the wheel of the mule cart suddenly fell into a pit. Chen Fenghe's body was unstable, and because he was sitting on the edge, he fell down all of a sudden!
"Be careful!" Xiao Yunshuo shouted in shock. In the blink of an eye, someone rushed over and a dark shadow held her in his arms.
