Chapter 126 Meeting Mrs. Lou Again
At this time, the coachman drove the carriage out of the stable of the inn and stopped at the door of the inn.
"Master, this carriage is too high, I can't get on it."
When the greasy old man beside heard this, he immediately hugged the woman who was talking and said, "Hey, if you can't get up, don't you still have me? I'll carry you up right now."
After hearing this, a maid standing at the door of the inn looked at him with disgust: "Ugh, I'm going to vomit, you ungrateful bastard, you bitch!"
Upon hearing this, another maid quickly pulled her and said, "You're going to die! If you're heard, you'll be in trouble. You've been scolding me all night yesterday, and you're still not satisfied?"
"Yesterday is yesterday, I haven't scolded you yet today."
A woman in her forties at the side looked at the two maids who were talking next to her and said, "Qiuxia, Qiuling, you two should avoid talking in certain occasions in the future. Your master is in a good mood right now. If he gets angry for his beloved, I can't stop him all the time. Do you understand?"
Qiu Ling: "Madam, I just can't bear it. Madam was kind enough to save her, but she turned out to be ungrateful. Once she recovered, she actually seduced the master."
Qiuxia: "Madam, I..."
The lady interrupted them and said, "Okay, after we settle down in Nanzhou City, I will find a way to bring you back. I'll have to bear with you for now."
Qiu Ling was about to say something when the master who had gotten on the carriage poked his head out and yelled, "Qiu Xia, Qiu Ling, what are you two doing? You two are Miss Yue's personal maids now, why don't you get up and serve her?"
Then he looked at the lady who had suddenly agreed to marry Miss Yue, and said with a smile: "Madam, it's windy outside, why are you still standing there? Get on the carriage quickly to avoid the wind, don't catch a cold, if you really get sick, I will be very sad for you."
"Master, please put down the curtain and come in. The wind is blowing in and I'm so cold."
"Hey, little darling, don't freeze to death, I feel bad for you!"
The woman signaled to a maid next to her: "Qiuping, help me get on the carriage."
Qiu Ping walked over with red eyes, supported the woman, and whispered to her: "Madam, the master was actually bewitched by that shameless ungrateful person. They were actually flirting in front of you, madam. This is too much. That ungrateful person did it on purpose. Doesn't the master understand?"
Hearing this, the woman looked towards the carriage with a strange look in her eyes, and said calmly: "Let the master do what he wants! It's my fault that I couldn't give him a child. If Miss Yue can really get pregnant... then no matter what happens in the future, I will still be the legal mother, right? That would be a blessing for the master and me."
Qiu Ping was a little confused after hearing this. In the past, if the Madam knew about the Master fooling around outside, she would definitely kill Him first. How could the Madam be so tolerant now, especially with such an ungrateful man?
The village head led the other two mule carts out of the city. After about an hour, they were suddenly stopped by an old woman who got off the carriage in front.
The village head stopped the mule cart and looked at the old woman blocking the road. He felt that her face looked familiar, as if he had seen her before.
The old woman looked at the head of the village and pleaded, "My dear young man, our coachman had an accident, leaving us three, the master and the servant, behind. Unfortunately, none of us can drive a carriage. Is there anyone among you who can drive a carriage? If you can take us to Nanzhou City, we will reward you handsomely."
Upon hearing this, the head of the village felt that although his side was indeed on the way, this situation was a bit awkward!
Seeing that the car had been parked for a long time, Su couldn't help but pull out the car curtain and come out: "What happened in front? What happened?"
Lin Qi, who was in the mule cart in front, heard what Su said, turned around and explained: "It seems that someone in front stopped Uncle San."
Xu Zhiyi also came out of the carriage, but was blocked by a mule cart in front of him and couldn't see who was stopping the carriage.
Then he got off the mule cart, and when everyone saw this, they all got off and walked towards the head of the village.
The old woman saw everyone gathering around her. When she saw Xu Zhiyi, her eyes lit up and she said, "Benefactor?" Then she walked back to the carriage in front and shouted, "Madam, it's the benefactor who saved us when the horse was startled last time. We meet him again!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Lou came out of the carriage in surprise: "Really?"
Lou Qianqian, who was in the carriage, also got off. When she got closer, she saw the young man who had amazed her last time.
When everyone saw Mrs. Lou and her daughter approaching, they recognized that it was them who startled the carriage last time. How come even the coachman was gone now?
Mrs. Lou saw Xu Zhiyi and said in surprise: "Miss, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"
Xu Zhiyi was also very surprised. They had a carriage, so they should have arrived in Nanzhou City by now? Why were they still here?
Mrs. Lou also noticed everyone's obvious confusion and explained, "Miss, when we arrived at each city, the weather was too cold, so we stayed there for about five days before we started our journey. But when we were about to reach Cangshan City, our horses were startled again. We survived, but we were also injured. We spent twenty days in Cangshan City recovering from our injuries."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi glanced at the scabbed wound on her forehead.
"Later, we found out that the groom had frightened the horse on purpose, so we became wary. When we went to see the doctor, we spent money to buy drugs to knock him out and tie him up for questioning. But we didn't expect that he would suddenly disappear!"
"He has also been a groom in my family for five years! My husband opened a shop in Nanzhou City a year ago and also negotiated a big deal. He bought a house there and planned to settle down there, so I rented out the small shop in Lincheng."
"I was planning to take my daughter to look for my husband, but I didn't expect that the groom, Uncle Fu, would encounter so many unexpected things along the way."
"We had no choice but to ask another groom to help us on our way. But just as we were leaving Cangshan City, he suddenly fell to the ground and started convulsing. He was bleeding from his mouth. It was very scary. He has fainted and hasn't woken up yet."
Xu Zhiyi's whole body convulsed when he heard this? Epilepsy? Bleeding from the mouth? Did he bite his tongue?
Doctor Li, who was standing by, heard Mrs. Lou's description and said, "I'm a doctor. I'll go see him."
After hearing this, Mrs. Lou quickly brought Doctor Li over. At this time, the coachman was lying in the carriage, and Mrs. Lou covered him with a quilt.
Doctor Li carefully felt his pulse and pried open his mouth to check: "He has a dizziness disease. This disease cannot be cured. And he doesn't know when he will get sick. He may be fine suddenly and then get sick the next moment!"
Then he pricked his philtrum with a needle and the groom woke up. However, because he had bitten his tongue, it was very painful when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, and he felt as if his tongue was swollen.
Madam Lou looked at the coachman who was apologizing to her excitedly and comforted him, "Don't be excited. I don't mean to blame you. It's just... with your physical condition, it may be a bit difficult to drive the carriage to Nanzhou City..."
When the groom heard what Mrs. Lou said, his eyes dimmed, knowing that she was not going to hire him! Thinking of his mother and brothers and sisters at home, he wanted to speak up for it, but he didn't know whether it was because of his injured tongue that he couldn't speak, or for other reasons, so he could only remain silent.
