Chapter 212: Provoked him again]
With a "thump", the two fell to the ground.
Chen Fenghe didn't feel any pain. The moment Xiao Yunshuo grabbed her, he spun around and cushioned her.
"Mr. Yun...are you okay?" Chen Fenghe asked with her cheeks feeling a little hot.
This is so embarrassing...
Xiao Yunshuo had already pushed her away at the right time and said calmly, "It's okay. Madam Shen should get up quickly."
Chen Fenghe's face became even hotter, and she quickly stood up.
After all, this was ancient times. She fell under the car and was held in the arms of a strange man, which inevitably caused gossip.
As soon as Chen Fenghe stood up, Yuan Xun, Yuan Xu and several other officials arrived.
“Miss Shen, are you okay?”
"Sir! Are you okay?"
Yuan Xun and Yuan Xu asked almost at the same time.
After asking, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then Yuan Xun looked away angrily.
Xiao Yunshuo had also stood up, coughed twice, and said, "It's okay."
Chen Fenghe also smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yuan. I'm fine. I just got stuck in a pit and accidentally fell."
Xiao Yunshuo glanced at Chen Fenghe with his dark eyes, then suddenly turned around and said calmly, "I'll ride a horse for a while."
Yuan Xu was stunned for a moment, then hurried to the carriage, untied one of the two horses pulling the carriage, the little red horse given to Chen Fenghe, and put on the saddle.
Chen Fenghe watched him walk away without looking back, and couldn't help feeling mixed emotions, a mixture of guilt and... heartache.
Was it because her attempt to avoid suspicion just now was too obvious, causing him to notice and making him angry again?
Originally, if she had not been sitting too close to the edge of the mule cart to avoid suspicion, the mule cart would not have stumbled and fallen off just now.
However, Chen Fenghe quickly dug her nails into her palms and forced herself to be hard-hearted.
Once the decision is made, you cannot get entangled in it, otherwise it will be more painful in the future.
This episode passed quickly and the exile team set out again.
Chen Fenghe was the only one left on the mule cart. She subconsciously glanced towards the place where Xiao Yunshuo had just sat, feeling inexplicably empty in her heart.
Chen Fenghe sighed, took out a medical book, and forced herself to read it attentively.
By the evening, the exile team arrived at a relatively prosperous town.
As usual, Chen Wu was about to go to the inn he often visited to check in. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the town, someone came up to him and asked, "Is this Mr. Chen, the official who came from the capital to escort the exiled criminal?"
Chen Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Exactly. I wonder who you are?"
The man immediately bowed and said, "I am the owner of the VIP hotel in this town. Mr. Chen, it is getting late today. Mr. Chen, please stay in our VIP hotel."
Chen Wu was somewhat surprised.
Although he was an official, he was carrying exiled prisoners after all. Ordinary inns would usually avoid them as much as possible, fearing that something might go wrong, or simply because they felt it was unlucky. Why would they rush to invite them to stay in their inn?
Moreover, this VIP building is the most luxurious inn in town. Even if they really don't mind, these poor officials and prisoners don't have money...
"Shopkeeper, thank you for your kindness, but we don't have much money..."
"Don't worry about the store fee, Mr. Chen. It's already been paid by a noble..."
