Chapter 582: Awkward Yu Wensong
"Young Master, where are we staying tonight?" Xiao Tao caught up with Yu Wensong and asked after she dealt with the killer.
"Of course we'll live wherever the girl lives."
"Wouldn't that be too obvious? What if they find out?"
"It doesn't matter, Xiao Tao. I think you are just too cautious. You are only fifteen years old this year, right? Why do you act like a nanny?"
"Young Master!" Xiao Tao was furious and glared at Yu Wensong, her pretty face showing great dissatisfaction.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Let's go to the inn. I'm almost dying of sleep."
After saying this, Yuwensong ran away at the speed of light.
The assassination took place at the city gate and was quickly counterattacked. There were officers and soldiers to clean up the mess, and the city was not affected much.
The Lantern Festival is still going on today.
Wan Laoer brought Fubao and Heituan back to the inn. Although Fubao felt a little sleepy, fortunately he did not fall asleep immediately. He lay on the window and looked at the lanterns of various shapes opposite, his eyes full of light.
"Wow, Daddy, come and see, what a big lantern."
While Fubao was yawning, the restaurant opposite suddenly put out a lantern that was two people tall, which was in the shape of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
When Wan Laoer heard Fubao's exclamation, he quickly stuck his head out to look.
"Oh my God, this lantern is so big!" Wan Laoer opened his mouth in shock and looked towards the platform opposite.
At this time, the entrance of the restaurant opposite was surrounded by a huge crowd of people, as if the assassination at the city gate just now had no impact on the crowd.
Just above Wan Laoer's head, the master and his servant were sitting.
"Sir, I didn't expect this small county to have such a big deal."
"That's right. Don't you see whose restaurant is across the street?"
Xiao Tao glanced at the sign of the restaurant opposite and sneered knowingly.
"No wonder, it turns out to be the property of Prince Li's Mansion."
As the lanterns were lit up one by one, exclamations continued from the crowd.
The Lantern Festival reached its climax tonight, and even the county magistrate came in person to show his support, which shows that this restaurant is indeed grand.
However, from Fubao's point of view, the view was better than that from the crowded below. Not only could they see the entire lantern, but the lantern was even higher than the windows of their inn. The people below had to crane their necks to see the lantern, but Fubao and his friends could see it easily.
"The shopkeeper really didn't lie to us. It's really nice to see the lanterns here."
Wan Laoer felt that the money spent today was worth it.
The Lantern Festival soon came to an end. Wan Laoer washed Fubao's face, hands and feet and tucked her into bed. Heituan was a little bigger now, so Wan Laoer didn't let it go to bed, so it lay on the footstool next to the bed.
"My girl, do you think the young master who saved us today was doing it out of chivalry or on purpose? I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Wan Laoer now treats Fubao as a little adult, and sometimes he can't tell who is his father.
There's nothing I can do. Who can blame my daughter for being so smart?
"Dad, whether you are a chivalrous man or not, we will know after we see what happens. I think these killers may come again."
Fubao spoke calmly, and scared Wan Laoer, who was just about to go to bed, so much that he missed the step and stumbled and fell on the bed.
"Girl, do you know something? Do you know why these killers are chasing us today?"
"Well, if these people are not the subordinates of the Yue State Master, then they were sent by the princess to kill me. I ruined her good deeds when I was in the palace. Maybe she will take revenge on me, right?"
Wan Lao Er immediately lost his composure. He had never been calm before. He immediately looked at Fu Bao and said, "Girl, how did you ruin her happiness? You didn't say anything when you came back from the palace that day? Didn't you go to the Plum Blossom Banquet? Wasn't it just to eat, drink and have fun? How could you cause a disaster that could kill you?"
"Dad, some things are not what you think. This matter is a little complicated. You won't understand even if I tell you. But the princess wanted someone to destroy Sister Rou's innocence. I found out the clues and I repeatedly destroyed it. The princess hated me. Sister Rou reminded me at that time, but so many days have passed and we are all safe. I thought maybe the princess is not so petty?"
Wan Laoer sat on the bed, hugging the quilt, his mind a little confused.
"You mean the princess remembers it now?"
"I think the princess has been waiting for us to leave the capital. As soon as we left the capital today, the assassins came. I think they might be the princess's men."
"Then do we have to go back to the Duke's Mansion? We still have one or two months to go to the border. What should we do?"
"Dad, I am Fu Bao, don't worry, they can't kill us. I don't see anything bad in you, and your face is full of rosy glow. Maybe there will be good things waiting for you when you go home."
After hearing what Fubao said, Wan Laoer felt relieved.
"Your words put my father at ease. Now, go to sleep. God is watching over us. We will surely be able to turn danger into safety."
Fu Bao nodded with a smile, "Yeah, that's right."
The conversation between the father and daughter was heard by Yu Wensong and Xiao Tao on the roof.
Yu Wensong raised the corners of his lips and sneered: "Tsk, we are really a family. It's better to beg me than to rely on God."
Xiaotao also shook her head.
"Sir, are we going to stay on this rooftop and blow the cold wind all night? When you say stay in an inn, you don't mean stay on the roof of an inn, do you?"
Xiao Tao opened her cherry lips slightly and glared at her master with her peach blossom eyes.
Yuwen Song touched his nose, glanced away, and muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with living on the roof? It's not crowded here. I have mysophobia, and I won't sleep on a bed that others have slept on."
Xiao Tao knew that this person was being upset again, and it had been like this since childhood.
"Sir, I have to remind you that if you catch a cold, you won't be able to reach the border. If something happens to Miss Fubao, I can't say what Master Mo will do to you."
"You little peach, you are threatening me with that ice face again. I don't even know whose maid you are? I think you are an undercover sent by that ice face, right?"
After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she jumped off the roof, leaving Yu Wensong alone on the roof, jumping up and down.
Xiao Tao looked up at the roof and couldn't help curling her lips. Although this might make the master angry, it was the most effective way to cure his pampered nature. It wasn't like she hadn't seen him eating and living with the soldiers. If she hadn't seen it, she would have believed it. This was the eldest young master's pampered nature again. The lady had told her not to spoil him.
Xiao Tao has the lady's words as her imperial sword, so she is naturally fearless.
Xiao Tao walked into the inn without looking back and asked for two upper rooms. Just after she paid the money, Yuwensong walked in awkwardly.
"Sir, the room has been booked. Please go in."
"Hmph!" Yu Wensong glared at Xiao Tao angrily and went upstairs arrogantly.
The next morning, the weather was fine, and Fubao and Wan Laoer got up early. Fubao had not slept in since the day they set out from the capital to return to the border.
The father and daughter had breakfast with the coachman, packed up their things and continued on their journey. After the two left the inn, Yuwensong and Xiaotao came down from upstairs.
