"Probably not."
"What about you?"
"Me? Jiu Ye might assign me some tasks, so I can take you with me so you don't get bored at the inn."
"We're not staying at Duanjiazhuang? Didn't we say we're staying at Jiu Ye's childhood friend's house?"
"No," said General Youyi, "Now that the Ninth Master has revealed his identity as the Regent Prince Chun, it would be inappropriate for him to stay in a private residence." He paused and then said, "Do you want to meet the Ninth Master's mother?"
Fu Tong'er frowned: "Of course not. Who wants to go see her mother-in-law for no reason? He said he wanted to take me to see her?"
You Yi smiled and said, "No, Master Jiu didn't say that. However, Master Jiu's mother is at the Dingnan Marquis's mansion. If he comes to the mansion, he will most likely bring you with him. If you don't want to see Master Jiu's mother now, you need to tell Master Jiu in advance. I'm telling you this so that you can be mentally prepared. Maybe you don't want to see Master Jiu's mother yet. Has Master Jiu mentioned his mother?"
"She mentioned it once before, but she didn't say she would take me to see her... Well, whoever wants to go can go, I don't want to see my mother-in-law."
General You Yi chuckled and said, "Give the whip to Big Brother. I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Fu Tong'er pulled out the whip and handed it to General You Yi.
"You Yi, Xiao Pu, Xu Changzhou, follow me to the carriage."
"Yes! Master Jiu!"
At this moment, over on the hill, the little girl who had escaped from Dingnan Marquis's residence was running towards this place. The group of servants behind her were chasing her relentlessly with thick hemp ropes and wooden sticks!
"Don't run! Let me see who can save you!"
"Stop! Stop!"
Here, near Jiu Ye's carriage, everything is peaceful.
After You Yi entered the carriage, Fu Tong'er carried a footstool to the carriage window, stepped on it, and listened...
Deputy General Xiao said, "Master Jiu, salt merchants from all over the country have already rushed to Shangyang County. Officials from various cities and counties have also arrived in Shangyang County to await your arrival."
"They're planning to kill me on the road. Where's Wei Shichang, Director of the Salt Administration?!"
Deputy General Xiao said, "According to the report submitted by Zhou Shijie from the Shangyang County government, Wei Shichang was stripped of his official uniform and taken into custody by the Shangyang County prefect for neglecting his duties."
Wei Shichang had previously submitted dozens of memorials impeaching Marquis Dingnan of Pingxi Province. He was the only official in Shangyang County who dared to speak out.
But his influence was weak, and he had no strong support in the court. In his early years, the second prince, Prince Shan, wanted to take him in as a disciple, but he declined. He then worked as a salt official in Shangyang County, Pingxi Province, a moderate position.
"Zhou Shijie..." Jiu Ye pondered the name, "How dare he dismiss local officials without permission?! Who gave him the power?!"
Military Advisor Xu said: "In this world,..."
No sound!
Fu Tong'er leaned in closer, but still couldn't make out anything. Suddenly, the car window curtain was lifted from the inside. Jiu Ye raised his voice and stretched out the words:
"Little cat——!" The deep and deep voice made Fu Tong'er feel a little moved...
"Humph, stinky man!"
Jiu Ye: "I just didn't carry you or help you, and I'm so angry..."
Deputy General Xiao smiled and said, "Miss Fu, congratulations. Master Jiu said that after arriving in Shangyang County, he would go to pay a visit to Concubine Shu. You are going to meet your future mother-in-law."
When Fu Tong'er heard this, she pulled down the carriage curtain with a snap.
General You Yi said inside: "Tongtong said she didn't want to see Concubine Shu so early."
Fu Tong'er moved closer again to eavesdrop.
Jiu Ye asked, "Did she tell you that?"
General Youyi said, "I also think it's a little early for her to meet Concubine Shu..."
Jiu Ye said: "My mother has been a vegetarian and chanting Buddhist scriptures for many years, so she won't be embarrassed. What is there to be afraid of..."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain in Fu Tong'er's hand again.
"Is the cat still eavesdropping?"
"I don't want to see my mother-in-law yet. If you force me, I'll just disappear!"
Jiu Ye looked down at Fu Tong'er and said, "Heh, you're still trying to disappear in this place. Don't let anyone catch you and make you into cat soup..."
"You! You!" Fu Tong'er got down from the footstool and carried it to the back of the carriage.
Jiu Ye sat down again in the carriage.
Before I had sat down for half a second, I felt someone lifting the curtain at the back of my head.
Everyone stopped talking again.
Jiu Ye turned around and saw that the curtain was propped up with a small gap.
