Chapter 721 Gang Fight
Lin Yuesha sat in the teahouse, rested for a while, drank tea, and then had dinner. As the sun set and the city gates closed, she and Bai Youran discussed returning home when the Wei family's carriage finally arrived.
“Miss Wei, the city gates are already closed. I think we should go back to our residence to rest for the night and talk about it again tomorrow.”
Lin Yuesha spoke coldly, indicating that she didn't want to say a single word to Wei Lan unless absolutely necessary.
Wei Lan lifted the curtain of the car window, revealing a rosy face. Her eyes were full of spring water, and she seemed to be in perfect harmony with Bai Dingfeng on their wedding night.
"What does it matter if the city gates are closed? I have the token to leave the city."
As Wei Lan spoke, she took out a token and waved it around, looking quite pleased with herself.
"No, you are no longer Miss Wei. I heard from Sister Bai that you and Young Master Bai are newly married, so you should be called Madam Bai."
Lin Yuesha was utterly impressed by Wei Lan's shamelessness. She was a whole day late, yet showed no remorse or apology whatsoever. Instead, she was smug about having a token to leave the city.
Moreover, only Wei Lan showed her face inside the carriage; Bai Dingfeng remained hidden.
Scholars who read the classics should at least understand the most basic principles of shame and righteousness. This couple is a bunch of scumbags, and their despicable behavior shattered Lin Yuesha's worldview.
"We're heading to the Northwest together to deliver supplies to the soldiers there. Since we share a common goal, let's look after each other on the way. How about we call each other sisters?"
Wei Lan raised her chin, giving Lin Yuesha a "don't be ungrateful" look.
"No need."
For the first time, Lin Yuesha felt disgusted by the act. Were the sisters trying to make her sick? They even said they would look after each other on the way. Today, she felt "looked after" quite well by this newlywed couple.
"We're sisters, and with Young Master Bai around, it's not very convenient."
Lin Yuesha couldn't help but tease Wei Lan, "It would be unpleasant if she were mistaken for Young Master Bai's concubine."
She said this to remind Wei Lan that on the day of the fundraising at the Prince's villa, Wei Lan called Li Ruoxue "elder sister," and now that "elder sister's" body is barely cold, the younger sister is already eager to take over.
"Lin Xiaoya, you country bumpkin, how dare you talk to me like that?"
Wei Lan was furious. Thinking of the information she had received from Lin Yue'e, she couldn't help but shout.
"Miss Lin, it's been a while, but your tongue is still as sharp as ever."
Bai Dingfeng didn't want to get involved, but since he and Wei Lan were newlyweds, he didn't want her to suffer, so he had no choice but to step forward and take charge himself.
"Yes, and she's very skilled. Her spicy peanuts are absolutely delicious."
"Great! I was just about to deal with Bai Dingfeng when this scumbag stepped forward. Lin Yuesha immediately went all out, saying, 'I think that without being a rich heiress, this skill alone is enough to support myself.'"
In one sentence, Bai Dingfeng was put in an awkward position again. It was indeed him who had been chasing after Lin Yuesha for spicy peanuts.
"Lin Xiaoya, you really know how to flatter yourself."
Wei Lan was furious that her husband was rendered speechless as soon as he entered the fray. If she weren't in a hurry to leave the city, she would have definitely picked a fight with Lin Yuesha.
"There's nothing I can do about it, what can I do when I'm beautiful?"
Lin Yuesha touched her cheek and sat back in the car with a smile.
Jiang Baozhu, who was watching from the sidelines, laughed and said, "Wei Lan kept rolling her eyes, her eyeballs almost popped out, haha!"
However, having already offended these two people before even leaving Beijing, the journey ahead will not be smooth.
"Even if you don't offend them, the journey won't be smooth."
After thinking it over, Lin Yuesha realized that since there were risks involved no matter what, she might as well just go for it. So she decided to start her "slap in the face" mode and not let the scumbag get away with it.
Jiang Baozhu nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.
With Wei Lan leading the way, the city gate opened a corner, and the group successfully left the city at dusk.
Because the original plan was not followed, Lin Yuesha had to find a place to spend the night on the official road on her first night away from the capital.
After traveling for several hours, the coachmen went to chop firewood and set up tents, while Lin Yuesha and Jiang Baozhu slept in the carriage.
"Aren't you afraid she'll cause you trouble by openly opposing Wei Lan?"
Wei Lan is petty and narrow-minded; she might be plotting other ways to make things difficult for people.
"If I'm afraid, will she stop bothering me?"
Lin Yuesha didn't care; she and Wei Lan were already adversaries and could never get along.
If it weren't for the need to raise tens of thousands of taels for military supplies, she would have parted ways with Wei Lan long ago.
Ultimately, Lin Yuesha bowed to money.
“A few days ago, she said she would give me the receipt for withdrawing the money, which was obviously a test.”
Lin Yuesha didn't know what Wei Lan was up to, but that didn't matter. As long as the silver was converted into military supplies and delivered to the soldiers in the Northwest, that was all that mattered.
The driver quickly gathered firewood and set up several fires around the area.
There was a small river not far away. Qingxing and Baicha carried buckets to fill the carriage with water. Lin Yuesha specially carried a copper kettle with a narrow spout, containing two packets of ginger and jujube tea powder, intending to brew it with hot water to warm her stomach.
"You dog of a servant, are you blind?"
Lin Yuesha had anticipated that Wei Lan would seek revenge, but she hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
Bai Cha was carrying a bucket of water when Wei Lan blocked her way. Wei Lan raised her hand and slapped Bai Cha hard, making a crisp sound.
Feeling unsatisfied with just one slap, Wei Lan raised her hand again.
"Mrs. Bai, what are you doing?"
The sudden slap made Bai Cha take a step back, and she exclaimed in surprise.
She was Lin Yuesha's maid and had nothing to do with Wei Lan. Even if she made a mistake, she should be punished by her young mistress.
The young lady said that you can't afford to lose out no matter what you eat.
Bai Cha reached out to stop Wei Lan, which immediately enraged Wei Lan even more. She yelled at her maids, "What are you all standing there for? This brat is actually resisting! Beat her!"
At Wei Lan's command, her two maids, Maiya and Maisui, immediately charged forward and pinned Bai Cha to the ground.
Two fists can't fight four hands. Bai Cha lost her balance and fell. Wei Lan seized the opportunity and stepped forward, attacking Bai Cha's face with both hands!
Bai Cha gritted her teeth and endured it, not wanting her young mistress to see this humiliating scene.
"Why hasn't Bai Cha returned from fetching water yet?"
Lin Yuesha saw Qingxing carrying two buckets of water, but there was no sign of Baicha.
"Behind me, I saw that she wasn't very strong, so I took the buckets from her."
Qingxing put down the bucket and noticed that in the distance, Wei Lan and her two servants were laughing together, while someone was kneeling on the ground. Judging from the pink hem of their clothes, it should be Bai Cha.
Seeing Wei Lan's arrogant laughter, Lin Yuesha had a bad feeling. Her temples throbbed with anger, and she said to Qingxing, "Let's go, let's go take a look."
Well, Wei Lan, taking advantage of her inattention to bully her maid, as if she's not breathing?
"Haha, look at this maid, how shabby she is, wearing a broken silver hairpin, probably decades old, right?"
"That's right. I heard she came from the north with Lin Xiaoya. It's a poor, remote place. With such a shallow and unsophisticated master, she wouldn't even give her maid a decent hairpin."
Wei Lan, accompanied by two maids, burst into laughter.
