Chapter 15 She is the One Who Separated You
"I'll make her apologize to you!" Lu Shiyan said nothing more and continued on his journey with his two sons.
Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes in her heart.
She doesn't need her apology. She just needs to take care of herself and not be so kind in the future.
"Mom!" Although Lu Tiantian was young, she knew that something bad had just happened, and she grabbed her hand worriedly.
Jiang Tangtang smiled at her and took out a steamed bun from her bag and gave it to her. "It's okay, come on, eat it while it's hot!"
As soon as the steamed buns were taken out, a rich fragrance wafted out.
When the prisoners nearby smelled it, they swallowed hard, as if they were hungry again.
Lu Tiantian took a bite, and her eyes instantly turned into crescents. "Mom, it's so delicious, so fragrant, and so soft."
"It's delicious. I'll make it for you next time." Jiang Tangtang said, and took out a steamed bun from her bag and took a big bite.
Well, it tasted better than she imagined.
All her hard work was really worth it.
After she and Lu Tiantian each finished a steamed bun, Jiang Tangtang continued on her way. She didn't rely on her cooking skills to get any special treatment.
It didn't rain today, but the sun came out instead.
Although the sun at this time is not as strong as in summer, you will still feel hot if you walk in the sun for a long time.
What's more, she was fat and her clothes were soaked with sweat after walking for a while.
This body of fat is so ugly and troublesome. Jiang Tangtang mentally challenged herself and vowed to lose this fat.
Feeling that his physical fitness was much better than yesterday, Jiang Tangtang simply carried Lu Tiantian on his shoulders like a sandbag and continued on his journey.
Every time her legs ached from walking and she was about to give up, she would grit her teeth and think about how terrible she looked now.
Relying on superhuman perseverance, Jiang Tangtang moved from the end of the team to the front center and maintained that position without falling behind.
Of course, sweat was also pouring down.
Lu Tiantian wanted to get down and walk by herself several times, but Jiang Tangtang felt that she could still hold on and refused to let her go.
After walking for more than two hours, the officer in front finally called for a stop and asked everyone to rest on the spot.
As soon as the officers and soldiers shouted to stop, Jiang Tangtang collapsed to the ground.
"Mom, are you okay?" Lu Tiantian asked worriedly.
Because she didn't walk a single step today and just sat on her mother's shoulders and rode a horse, Lu Tiantian didn't feel tired at all.
Just looking at her mother who looked like she had been fished out of the water, she felt even sadder than if she were too tired to bear it.
Jiang Tangtang collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. It took her a while to recover. She said, "Don't worry! Mom is fine. She just needs to rest for a while."
It was almost noon at this time, and Jiang Tangtang was a little hungry. She wanted to find a place to sneak into the space and put the steamed buns in the microwave to heat them up, but then she saw Lu Shiyan walking towards her.
"I just picked up some firewood on the road and planned to make a fire to warm up the steamed bread. Do you want to warm up the steamed bread in your hand?"
At that time, the two of them were busy putting the steamed buns into their pockets, and almost half of their pockets were full.
Jiang Tangtang saved a portion of the Lu family's food rations. Instead of asking her to take it out directly, he asked her in a soliciting tone if she wanted some hot steamed buns. His emotional intelligence is quite high!
"Let's heat them together!" Jiang Tangtang gave him the steamed bun, went to the grove to take care of his three urgent needs, and then went over to help.
It’s not that she was destined to be a hard-working person and wanted to find something to do, but there was only a small hanging pot on the road, and Jiang Tangtang was afraid that they wouldn’t know how to cook and would waste their food.
The pot is too small and it is indeed inconvenient to heat it.
Fortunately, the police were not as strict today as they were in the past few days. While Lu Shiyan was on the road, he found an opportunity to shoot a pheasant.
Looking at the fat pheasant, Jiang Tangtang's eyes turned and he had an idea.
She asked Lu Shiyan to clean the pheasant, then cut off the chicken fat, put the chicken fat in a hanging pot and fry it over low heat, smear oil on the bottom and inner wall of the pot, put the steamed buns in, arrange them layer by layer, then cover the hanging pot and surround it with charcoal fire.
After a while, a rich fragrance wafted through the air.
The prisoners who were sitting on the ground to rest all looked over at them. Lu Zhixi, who had been throwing a tantrum, could no longer hold back and walked over awkwardly.
Jiang Tangtang pulled the hanging pot out of the charcoal fire, opened the lid, and the aroma became even stronger.
One side of the steamed buns in the hanging pot is baked golden brown, and the side not against the pot wall becomes particularly fluffy after being heated.
Lu Zhixi swallowed unconsciously and pointed at the golden, oily steamed bun at the bottom of the pot and said, "I want that!"
Lu Shiyan looked at her coldly and said, "If you want to eat, apologize to your sister-in-law first!"
Lu Zhixi was unconvinced and said, "But I didn't eat anything this morning. This is our ration. Why don't you give it to me?"
Lu Shiyan took out a cold steamed bun from his arms and gave it to her, saying, "If you don't apologize, you'll have to eat the dry rations given by the officials from now on."
This is the tit I shot when I went to the stream to clean the pheasant just now. I specially exchanged it with someone for this moment.
"Brother!" Lu Zhixi said in disbelief, "Are you defending her?"
"She is my wife. Isn't it natural for me to protect her?" Lu Shiyan's eyes were calm. "Since you despise her, then don't eat what she cooks."
Lu Zhixi was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Brother, don't you feel ashamed to marry this ugly, fat black bear? How can she compare to Sister Jinyue? It's all because of her. If she hadn't used such mean means to separate you and Sister Jinyue, we wouldn't be like this."
"Shut up!"
"Jixi!"
Two voices sounded at the same time, one was Lu Shiyan's and the other was Su's.
Su hurried over, raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhixi in the face, angrily scolding, "Are you also making up the princess's innocence? Do you think we have too long to live?"
Why has their Lu family come to this point?
Is it really because their Lu family helped the third prince rebel?
The emperor was just afraid that their achievements would surpass his own, so he was looking for a reason to punish them.
But the daughter didn't understand and still thought that if her son married the princess, the Lu family would be able to escape disaster.
Seeing his always gentle mother glaring at him with anger, Lu Zhixi's scream got stuck in his throat, and for a moment he didn't dare to make a fuss anymore.
Su said to Lu Shiyan, "If she doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. Let her starve. She won't die from starvation even if she skips two meals. Look at the brothers Cheng'er and Heng'er. Don't delay their journey."
Lu Shiyan glanced at his sister coldly, took back the dry food and put it in his arms, and took two steamed buns from the hanging pot to give to his son.
Su looked at Jiang Tangtang and smiled awkwardly, then whispered softly, "Tangtang, Zhixi is a naive child, don't listen to her nonsense. Shi Yan and the princess are innocent and have nothing to do with each other."
