Chapter 55: Don't mind your own business
Xiangli, who was sitting on the wooden cart, was slightly startled.
The three little ones quickly protected him.
Xiang Yuanxiao: "If you take the horse away, what about my uncle's wooden cart? Who will pull it?"
The skinny monkey said he was powerless: "What the military supervisor meant is that you guys pull it yourself."
He looked at Xiangying and said, "Didn't you lose a mare that was used to pull fodder? I'm going to take back what I gave you before."
Tao Xue said anxiously, "How can it be considered our eldest princess' fault? The eldest princess almost disappeared in pursuit of that horse."
"The mare got scared and ran away, but when you went there, didn't you pull back the fallen food and grass?"
"Why are you blaming us for the loss of the mare?"
The skinny monkey was a little annoyed: "What can I do? I am only responsible for the execution. It's not that I want to embarrass you!"
Xiang Xiuxiu's eyes were red: "It's Uncle Jie who wants to embarrass us..."
Xiang Ying asked Qi Fengyi to take Xiang Xiuxiu away.
Her phoenix eyes were cold, and her red lips moved slightly: "Is this all the military supervisor's intention?"
The skinny monkey nodded: "You understand very well. It's good enough to be able to keep the wooden cart, right?"
After saying this, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to dismantle the horses.
They parted without saying a word and walked down from the wooden cart using their crutches.
Lin Lingxiang hurried forward to support him.
"Your Highness, be careful."
Xiangli whispered thank you.
He immediately said to Xiangying, "Aying, my legs are almost healed now and I can walk by myself. Please let them take the horses away."
Lin Lingxiang was a little anxious: "Your Highness, please don't try to be brave. Your knee has just healed. Even if you can walk, you can't keep resting."
She went to ask the skinny monkey: "Captain, please be flexible and let us keep the horse. We will find a way to give you the money and regard it as our purchase."
The skinny monkey waved his hand: "Don't tell me these things, it's useless. If you want to ask, go ask the military supervisor."
After saying this, he and the soldiers really took the horse away.
The wooden cart was left lying on the ground.
Xiang Yuanxiao clenched his fists in anger: "This Jie Chen, I want him... umm!"
Before he could finish his words, Xiangying quickly covered his son's mouth.
"Be good and don't curse him." What if he is your biological father? This kid is almost a traitor.
Xiangying glanced at the front of the team. It was so crowded that he couldn't even see Jiechen's back.
She doesn't care, she never relies on men anyway.
But she thought she had said nothing wrong, yet Jie Chen was so petty and took revenge on her. What a little man!
Xiangying tore off the hem of her skirt and wrapped it around her palm.
Seeing this, Tao Xue asked hurriedly, "Princess, do you want to pull the cart yourself?"
Xiangying said calmly, "Yes, if you can't rely on others, then rely on yourself."
She treated it as weight training.
Xiang Xiuxiu's eyes were red. She threw herself into Xiang Ying's arms, and her soft little hands stroked the crystal beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Mother, Uncle Jie is not good to us, so don't bother with him anymore."
Xiangying couldn't help but smile and kissed his daughter's rosy little face.
"That's right, let's ignore him, but Xiuxiu, mother wants to tell you that you will definitely encounter many problems in life."
"It's possible that your good friends suddenly turn against you, or that your partners betray you."
"But no matter what, don't lose your spirit. If others don't help us, we can rely on ourselves. It's not like we don't have the ability."
With just a few words, he made the children happy.
Taoxue and Qi Fengyi both followed Xiangying's example and tore off the fabric from their skirts and wrapped it around their palms.
But Xiangli refused to sit on the wooden cart no matter what.
He lowered his eyes sadly and said, "I am a man, not only useless, but also unable to share my sister's worries along the way. Now I have become a burden to you."
Letting him sit while the girl pulled the cart and dragged him would be more painful for him than killing Xiangli.
Xiangying forced him onto the wooden cart.
"Brother, I understand your backbone, but now is not the time for you to be entangled."
"My father is a bastard and cannot be trusted. You are the last crown prince and hope of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Supporting you is like supporting the last dawn of the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"If you're really afraid of causing trouble for us, you should listen to me and cooperate with me to get better soon."
She spoke with such passion that even Xiangli was stunned.
When he came to his senses, Xiangying had already grabbed the reins and was pulling the wooden cart forward with Qi Fengyi.
Xiangying just dripped oil on the wheels, so it is still easy to pull.
Tao Xue and Lin Lingxiang pushed the handrails.
Xiangli secretly clenched his fists.
He would never let his sisters suffer with him for too long.
The rest of the people were laughing at their jokes.
Concubine Shangguan used this to warn all the women in the family: "How can beauty serve a man for long? Look, it only takes a few days before she is rejected."
Xiang Qianqian felt that it was a wise decision not to rely on Xiang Ying.
When they reached the uphill slope, Xiangying felt a little tired.
But suddenly, she felt the car become lighter.
There is a huge force pushing the car forward.
She looked back and saw Xiang Xiuxiu holding the bike with one hand, as if she was not using any strength.
The little girl winked at Xiangying and gave a secret signal.
At the same time, the Seventh Princess, Concubine Yu and some people from the Lin family came to help push the cart up the hill.
Their surprising unity made the skinny monkey not far away stunned.
He held a whip in his hand and planned to go up and take care of it.
After all, the military inspector has given the order to strictly control Xiangying and his group.
However, before he could take two steps, Scarface grabbed his wrist.
"Please make it easier for them. It's not easy for a woman to take care of three children."
"Besides, the military supervisor didn't come to ask you. Sometimes, it's better to turn a blind eye."
The skinny monkey frowned: "Why are you here? Go check your food supplies."
He shook off Scarface's hand and just glanced at Xiangying again, but didn't try to discipline them.
The exile team walked until dark, but still hadn't reached Lianhua Ferry.
According to the military supervisor's advice, they rested in a vast, uninhabited wasteland.
There was a stream nearby, and the soldiers led the horses over to get water.
The exiled prisoners were exhausted, and some simply lay down in the stream and refused to get up.
The children were tired after a whole day and wanted to go play in the water, but Xiangying stopped them.
"The soldiers have taken the horses upstream. The water is dirty now. You are not allowed to go in."
After Xiangying finished speaking, he took out a wet towel from the space and wiped the faces and hands of the three little guys.
Take good care of them and keep them clean.
At this time, Scarface took advantage of the absence of Skinny Monkey and the others and came over and handed Xiangying a bag of dry food.
He looked around like a thief and said, "Take this and eat it."
Xiangying stared at him: "Thank you, but you don't have to, we have food."
Scarface lowered his voice and said, "The military supervisor told Skinny Monkey and the others to treat you equally. You will definitely not get any food tonight."
"No need, I catch the food myself and don't rely on others to give it to me." Xiangying said, and asked Taoxue to look after the child while he walked to the stream.
Xiang Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes curiously: "Didn't mother say the water was dirty? Why did you go in there to catch fish?"
Xiang Yuanlang's eyes were indifferent: "She must have her own ideas, let's not care."
Of course, Xiangying was just pretending to fish in trouble.
In fact, she had already thought about what to feed the little ones.
When she was tidying up the space before, she discovered that among the living things looted from the imperial kitchen, there were actually small river crabs!
And there were several tanks of them, alive!
So what are you waiting for? Make spicy crab for the kids, of course!
