Wu Hua paid special attention to the people around her the whole way. Before long, she noticed four or five unfamiliar eyes staring at them, seemingly casually.
It told Qin Luo what had happened, but Qin Luo didn't care and just said to keep on their way and let them see what was going on!
The three chatted and laughed all the way, enjoying themselves immensely.
Since she stopped pretending, Lü Siqing has become much more cheerful!
They spent half a month on the road, even spending the Lantern Festival in the wilderness.
During our journey, we only made a brief stop in the county town to buy some supplies before continuing on our way.
Their donkey cart was fully equipped. As soon as it got dark, Qin Luo drugged Lü Siqing until she was unconscious, and then covered the donkey cart with a thick, windproof tent.
With Teng Teng's fire-type ability, she felt no cold at all.
They had a comfortable and carefree journey, but those who followed them suffered terribly.
Not only was it freezing cold, but they also couldn't eat or sleep well, and after half a month, they all lost a lot of weight.
Qin Luo didn't let the donkey-hide gelatin speed up, keeping it at the same speed as a normal donkey, to prevent them from noticing anything amiss.
Seven days later, at noon, Qin Luo and his two companions arrived in Xingyang County!
She decided that she wouldn't travel today no matter what, and that she would make sure Lü Siqing got a good bath.
Even though it's winter, it's quite normal to go more than half a month without showering.
But Wu Hua's nose was too sensitive; the two of them managed to sneak into the space to take a bath every day.
But Lü Siqing couldn't; he could only wipe his body with water every few days.
This fumes really bothered Wu Hua; she felt like she had a garbage can next to her.
Qin Luo didn't mind. During the famine, she was surrounded by all sorts of sweaty smells every day, and she had gotten used to it.
The first thing the three of them did upon entering the city was to find the largest inn in the city.
Unfortunately, as soon as the three entered the inn, they ran into Lü Simian, who had been waiting there.
Perhaps it was because he had been having too much fun these past few days, but Lü Siqing had completely forgotten about this so-called elder brother!
I didn't recognize him at first glance and walked right past him without even giving him a second look.
Qin Luo noticed it at a glance, but didn't point it out, pretending not to remember.
Seeing that the others didn't pay any attention to him, Lü Simian felt a nameless anger rise within him.
But not wanting to show his surprise on the spot, he pretended to be very surprised and exclaimed, "Brother!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Lü Siqing subconsciously turned around and saw Lü Simian looking at him with a friendly expression.
He reacted immediately and took the initiative.
"Brother, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were waiting for me in Yalan County?"
Lü Simian had prepared his speech in advance.
"I only realized halfway there that I forgot to give you directions to your address. I was so anxious and worried, so I rushed back to find you. I didn't expect to run into you here! How was your journey? Did anything happen?"
Lu Siqing knew perfectly well that all that anxiety and worry was utter nonsense.
Whether I'm doing well or not, you know better than anyone else.
Perhaps your subordinates already informed you that the three of you got along well throughout the trip.
You won't have to wait until Yalan County appears before you come out, will you?
But he still pretended to be very happy.
"Brother, you're such a kind person! I've had a very pleasant journey with you and my younger brother taking care of me!"
Lu Simian had been waiting for these words, and he quickly looked towards Qin Luo and Wu Hua.
Seeing the two people checking in at the counter, he didn't pay attention to what he and Lü Siqing were saying.
I couldn't help but have some doubts. Didn't they say they were already as close as brothers?
Why does he seem so indifferent? Just as he was wondering...
Qin Luo called out to Lü Siqing.
"Hey bro, what are you standing there for? Come get the keys and go upstairs to take a shower, you stink!"
Upon hearing her call, Lü Siqing immediately responded, "Brother, I'm here!"
Then, after greeting Lü Simian, he followed Qin Luo and Wu Hua upstairs.
Leaving behind an angry Lü Simian, who stood alone downstairs with only two servants, looking both lonely and desolate...
The three of them returned to their rooms, and Qin Luo and Wu Hua flashed into the spatial dimension and began to laugh heartily.
"Hahaha! Little one, did you see that person's face? It was as red as a pig's liver! Hahahaha~"
"He saw it, and he thought he was something special! Turns out nobody even paid him any attention! Hahaha~"
Tengteng also rarely expressed his opinion.
"Will he take his anger out on his younger brother?"
One sentence abruptly stopped the laughter, and Qin Luo immediately became annoyed.
After spending these days together, they had a general understanding of Lü Siqing's character and past.
His mother was the daughter of a wealthy merchant. His father took a liking to her, and that very night, his family drugged her and sent her to the residence of the Vice Minister.
He died after giving birth to him. Everyone said it was due to a difficult childbirth, but Lü Siqing said that the nanny who took care of him did not say that!
She specifically went to look when her mother was being placed in the coffin, and her tongue and eyeballs were bulging out.
His face was swollen and bruised, there were ligature marks on his neck, and his mouth and nose were full of blood. It was obvious that he had been strangled to death!
After the Vice Minister's mansion finished handling his mother's funeral, the mistress of the household sent someone to take him to Hanyun County.
The nanny was sent to the Vice Minister's residence by his mother's maternal family; she was originally his mother's wet nurse.
Upon learning that he was to be sent away, he begged his father to go with him.
If it weren't for the nanny accompanying her, Lü Siqing would probably have died ten years ago.
Qin Luo didn't know the truth of the matter, so she didn't judge who was good or bad.
But she felt that Lü Siqing was innocent; he was just a child.
Although she wouldn't meddle in other people's family affairs, she didn't want Lü Siqing to be hurt because she ignored Lü Simian!
After spending so many days together, everyone has come to regard him as their little brother, so let's help him out if we can!
