Inside the carriage, Xue Yun lifted the curtain and saw Wang Yucen climb into Zhao Cheng's carriage. She shook her head and said, "You shouldn't have made a move."
"I'm so angry!" Wang Yuluan said, her face ashen, cursing, "They say daughters are like birds that fly away from home, and she's not even grown up yet! It's one thing for her to talk about me, but how could she talk about my older brother?!"
"Insolent! Childish!! Idiot!!!"
"Alright! Don't talk about your sister like that!" Xue Yun said, also unhappy. "You said yourself that she's still young and doesn't understand things yet!"
"Her mind is full of stuff from those novels, like savior heroes and romantic love stories, it's all bullshit!"
Wang Yuluan patted the carriage and said, "These are all written by Mr. Pu and Old Xu to make money!"
"Mother, you didn't see the day Su Ye was awarded her title. It was these same few novelists who were selling their words at exorbitant prices... their hearts were so black!"
"Don't be angry." Xue Yun sat down next to Wang Yuluan, patted her son's back, and said, "No matter what, we have to endure it until we go to Changsui. I've figured it out. Whether we can deal with Zhao Cheng or not has nothing to do with your father's status. It's just that we're not quite there yet."
Wang Yuluan asked doubtfully, "Then what should we do? Should we just not avenge our elder brother?"
"Report it, of course we must report it!" Xue Yun's eyes flashed with hatred as he said, "But it's up to your father to make the decision."
Wang Yuluan thought for a moment and said, "I'm just worried that Father will want us to endure it."
"That still depends on your father! But your father is different now; he might not just swallow his anger. In any case, before we see your father, let's not make any moves..."
Xue Yun sighed and said, "That bastard Zhao Cheng is not to be trifled with. The evil schemes in his belly could flood the General's Mansion!"
...
Changsui is a thousand miles away from Yanchuan. From Zhao Cheng's perspective from his previous life, it is a very short distance, but in the days when transportation relied on horses, it would take almost half a month to travel there.
This is considered a fast-paced scenario.
After all, horses need to eat grass, drink water, and rest, and people also need to eat and sleep. Sometimes, the speed will be slowed down due to terrain, weather, and other reasons, so it is not surprising that it would take a month to travel.
Zhao Cheng didn't want to waste too much time on the road, so he deliberately sped up this trip.
But if it's purely for speed, then it's riding a fast horse.
Although Zhao Cheng had never seen those BMWs that could travel 600 or 800 li a day, he could usually travel 200 or 300 li a day without any problem.
When the group arrived in Changsui, Zhao Cheng and Wang Yuluan and her two sons had already spent more than ten days and nights together. Not to mention that Wang Yuluan and Zhao Cheng's relationship had progressed, even Wang Yuluan had become more pleasing to the eye towards Zhao Cheng.
Of course, whenever Wang Yuluan had such thoughts, he would slap himself hard and tell himself that it was just an illusion.
And I remind myself: seeing the same face every day may make me used to it, but it will never be pleasing to the eye!
He's the bastard who killed my brother, stole my sister, and forced me to write a three million yuan IOU. How could I, Wang Yuluan, possibly like him?!
Just as I was thinking about these things, Xia Qi lifted the carriage curtain and came in, carrying a large fruit platter.
"Madam, young general, after we entered the city, my master saw some fresh fruit being sold by the roadside and specially asked me to buy some. Please have a taste!"
"Alright, alright, put it down quickly, Zhao Cheng is so thoughtful!" Xue Yun lifted her bottom to greet her, clearly quite familiar with Xia Qi, and smiled like an aunt, saying, "Xia Qi, you're becoming more and more likable! Will your master arrange a marriage for you in the future?"
"I don't know either, Master never talked to me about this." Xia Qi picked up a piece of fruit with a wooden skewer, skipped over to Xue Yun, and said with a smile, "Madam, this one looks the sweetest, let me feed you!"
"Oh my goodness, you're even more considerate than my Cen'er!"
Xue Yun took a bite, patted Xia Qi's little head, and said, "Thanks to you and Qiu Shu for taking care of me these past few days. After we return to Yanchuan, you must come to visit me often. The General's Mansion welcomes you anytime."
"Yes, Madam!" Xia Qi fed Xue Yun another piece.
"That's enough, that's enough, you're such a good girl..."
Wang Yuluan, watching from the side, gritted his teeth in frustration. He could tell that his mother genuinely loved this girl.
What is all this about?
Zhao Cheng and we have a deep-seated hatred for each other, Mother, can you please not fall in love with someone from the Right Prime Minister's residence?
How can we be swayed by the enemy's sweet-coated bullets?
You and your sister are both dragging me down!
"Little General, have a piece too!" Xia Qi offered a piece of fruit to Wang Yuluan's lips.
"Okay!"
Wang Yuluan popped a piece of fruit into her mouth, then nodded repeatedly, saying, "It's so sweet!"
While Xia Qi was taking care of Xue Yun and her son, Qiu Shu and Wang Yucen were in the carriage marveling at the growth of Changsui, which almost made Zhao Cheng's brain go numb.
These two girls, one sixteen and the other fifteen, Zhao Cheng had had enough of the little girls' 'innocence and naivety' along the way!
"Changsui is really big!"
"The fruit here is so sweet!!"
"Sister Qiushu, look! Those girls are wearing such beautiful clothes!!"
“Xiao Cen, those are courtesans…” Qiu Shu reminded him, “We can’t dress like them.”
"Where are the brothels?" Zhao Cheng peeked out from between the two girls and looked out the carriage window.
"Master, weren't you supposed to close your eyes and rest? You woke up as soon as you heard about brothels!" Qiu Shu pouted.
"You're talking like I've ever successfully rested my eyes and cleared my head?"
Zhao Cheng complained and looked at his peers with a scrutinizing gaze. Unlike Wang Yucen and Qiu Shu, who were experiencing the novelty of coming to a big city, Zhao Cheng had the perspective of his previous life. No matter how prosperous Changsui was, it didn't affect him. He had been in Changsui when he transmigrated, and he had already experienced that sense of novelty five years ago.
