The carriage had not been traveling for long.
Changfeng then started chatting with Song Zhaodi: "Sister Zhaodi, what brings you to our mistress's house?"
He is different from Chang'an.
He's usually quite talkative and curious about everything.
Upon hearing this...
Song Zhaodi stammered for a long time before she could say anything.
Seeing that she seemed hesitant to speak, Changfeng quickly said, "It's alright, you don't have to say if you don't want to."
We drove for a while longer.
Changfeng saw some candied hawthorns by the roadside ahead, which he liked, so he stopped and bought three skewers. He then lifted the carriage curtain and casually handed one skewer to Song Zhaodi.
"What are you looking at me for? Go on."
Song Zhaodi slowly accepted it.
Candied hawthorn berries are sweet and sour, and they are very appetizing.
After finishing his meal, Changfeng bought two more packs of pastries, one for himself and one for Song Zhaodi.
Song Zhaodi had already eaten his candied hawthorns, so how could she possibly want the snacks he bought? She refused to eat them no matter what.
The two pushed each other back and forth.
Song Zhaodi lost her balance and lunged at Changfeng.
Changfeng quickly caught her.
Song Zhaodi realized she had pressed something, looked down, and her face instantly turned red. She really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
I realized it.
Song Zhaodi quickly withdrew her hand and stood up, supporting herself: "I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean to, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, really, I..."
"You're kind of cute like this. It's okay, I don't blame you."
After saying that, Changfeng stuffed the pastry into Song Zhaodi's hand without saying another word: "I don't have the habit of eating alone. Since you're with me, you should naturally have a share. Take it if you want, don't give it to me."
He's a pretty nice person.
As Song Zhaodi sat in the carriage, looking at the pastries in her hand, an idea popped into her head, but she quickly suppressed it.
Although Changfeng is indeed Jin Beicheng's subordinate, he also holds an official position.
How could she possibly be worthy of someone like him?
Song Zhaodi was preoccupied with something on her mind and was somewhat absent-minded throughout the journey. Therefore, she did not eat a single piece of the snacks that Changfeng had given her when the carriage stopped.
"arrive!"
The sound of a long wind came from outside.
Song Zhaodi snapped out of her daze, grabbed a drawing from the side, and handed it outside.
Changfeng helped her down from the carriage.
She didn't take the snacks off the carriage; she left them inside.
When they entered the shop, Song Xia was directing the shopkeepers to clean and set up the shop.
"Little Sister Xia..."
Upon hearing Song Zhaodi's voice, Song Xia turned around and saw that it was indeed her. She went up to her and said, "Sister Zhaodi, what brings you here today? Is there something you need?"
"I…"
Song Zhaodi opened her mouth, then pulled Song Xia towards the backyard.
We arrived at the backyard.
Song Zhaodi looked at Song Xia and asked, "Sister Xia, when will the workshop reopen?"
"A few more days."
After Song Xia finished speaking, she asked, "What's wrong? Did your mother and the others do something again?"
Song Zhaodi bit her lip and told her.
Song Xia said speechlessly, "Are they even your biological parents? They found you a husband without asking your opinion, and you have to accept such a terrible one."
"Sister Xia, I don't want to get married. Can I not get married?"
Song Zhaodi looked at Song Xia and said.
In their country, it's acceptable not to get married.
Song Xia had thought the same thing before.
now.
Hearing Song Zhaodi's words, Song Xia said in a voice that wasn't too loud, but not too soft: "If you had told me about this, I would have said it's all up to you. But your parents definitely won't allow it. Here's what we'll do: go back and tell them you'll only marry someone you're willing to marry. If they don't agree, you can become a nun. If they dare force you to marry, you can kill yourself in front of them, or if you don't die, you can cause trouble. In short, if you're unhappy, nobody's happy..."
Song Zhaodi was stunned, but she remembered everything Song Xia said.
When leaving.
Song Zhaodi secretly glanced at Changfeng.
Song Xia suddenly realized that he was worried about her going back alone, so he asked Changfeng to take her back.
No, no need.
Song Zhaodi was so anxious that she stammered, fearing a repeat of what had happened before.
Song Xia sensed something was wrong, looked at her, and then at Changfeng.
Changfeng walked over and said, "Mistress, don't worry, I will definitely send her back safely."
Song Zhaodi: "..."
Didn't he hear her say she didn't need it?
Song Zhaodi repeated it again.
Changfeng said to her, "Have you forgotten what happened before?"
Song Zhaodi: "?"
She didn't tell him.
Changfeng touched his nose and said, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop. It was you guys who were talking loudly, and I have internal energy, so I heard your conversation afterwards."
at last.
Song Zhaodi was sent back by Changfeng.
She got off the carriage.
Song Lao Er and his men rushed over.
Qiao Lianhua gave her a good beating: "You brat, you've got some nerve! You dared to push me, and you dared to run around by yourself! You've got guts!"
"You've got enough!"
Song Lao Er was also a little angry, but when he noticed that it was Chang Feng who brought it back, he didn't dare to do anything and even tried to stop Qiao Lianhua.
Changfeng noticed that Song Lao Er was secretly glancing at him.
He jumped down from the carriage: "Second Uncle Song, is Zhao Di and Sister-in-law your biological daughter?"
"Of course."
Qiao Lianhua answered.
Changfeng raised an eyebrow and said, "Since that's the case, why did you treat her like that? What kind of parents act like you? You'd be mistaken for stepparents!"
Qiao Lianhua was not at ease, he said so.
She put her hands on her hips and said, "What business is it of yours what happens to our family!"
Was he afraid of her just because she was fierce?
Changfeng is least afraid of shrewish women.
"She's our mistress's cousin, how can she not be related to me? If you don't want people to gossip, then don't do such outrageous things!"
Qiao Lianhua was so angry that she searched everywhere for a stick.
Song Zhaodi was worried that Changfeng wouldn't dare to fight back against his mother and would get beaten up by her.
She opened her mouth and said, "Brother Changfeng, stop talking and go."
"Okay, okay, I'm leaving."
Changfeng didn't want to put Song Zhaodi in a difficult position, so he got into the carriage.
But unexpectedly.
Qiao Lianhua was a restless person. Unable to find a stick, she picked up a stone and threw it at Changfeng.
"Mother, no!"
Song Zhaodi lunged forward to block, and by sheer coincidence, the impact hit her on the head.
His head was smashed open instantly.
"What have you done!"
Song Lao Er glared at Qiao Lianhua and ran towards Song Zhaodi.
Changfeng ran over to him first: "Sister-in-law Zhaodi, are you... are you alright?"
"I…"
Song Zhaodi wanted to say she was fine, but then everything went black and she fainted.
Changfeng quickly reached out and caught her, ignoring Song Lao Er and the others' reactions, and carried her to the carriage.
Song Lao Er and the others were all stunned. By the time they came to their senses, Chang Feng had already driven the carriage away.
Qiao Lianhua pointed at the departing carriage and said angrily, "That servant Changfeng, he, he carried our daughter! How can this get out!"
“What servant? You’re the servant! No matter what, he works for the general. How could his status be low? Has he taken a fancy to our daughter? If so, that would be wonderful.”
After finishing his speech, Song Lao Er went to rent an oxcart. He had to finalize their marriage today. If that happened, how could their family's future be any worse?
