Chapter 23 Departure to the Capital



Alas, what is love in this world?

It's really hard to control yourself.

Lingzhi ran away, but she didn't know at that time that her young lady and her husband would soon move to the capital to reunite with her.

Time flies. Yesterday was the fifth day of the New Year, and today is already the sixth.

Lingzhi opened his eyes listlessly.

When I saw Xia Qinghe's face, I felt that another bad day had begun.

She had already left the Shen Mansion and got on a carriage with Xia Qinghe, heading for the capital.

The journey to the capital is quite long.

The carriage is comfortably decorated. Not only is it covered with thick velvet carpets, but the benches are also spacious and soft, with pillows on them so you can lie down and rest when you are tired.

There are complete tea sets and other items on the small table, and general daily necessities are placed in the secret compartment.

Xia Qinghe was lying on a soft stool and sleeping, while Ziyi was sitting beside her with her eyes closed.

Everything is very calm.

It was like the calm before the storm, I thought as I just woke up.

"Bang—"

The teacup on the small table suddenly fell and hit the carpeted floor of the car.

"What's wrong?" Xia Qinghe opened her sleepy eyes and asked.

"Maybe the road was rough, so it was a bit bumpy."

Zi Yi picked up the teacup on the ground and put it back in its place.

Then she glanced at Lingzhi and said meaningfully: "You didn't even pick up the teacup when it fell, aren't you stupid?"

Lingzhi looked at her: "Huh?! Who are you calling stupid?"

"I'm talking about you."

Zi Yi looked at her arrogantly and said with disdain, "You sleep like a pig after getting on the bus. Look at you, you have a big pimple on your face."

Quite rampant!

Lingzhi immediately retorted: "I can't help it. This half of my face faces you every day, which is not good feng shui."

"you……"

Zi Yi was furious and sneered at Ling Zhi: "Who do you think you are? You're just a bumpkin from a small county town. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

"hehe……"

Lingzhi let out a sneer. "What? You're talking about me, but I can't say anything back? You were the one who started the fight, so why should I just keep quiet? Or do you simply want to bully a newcomer like me? Is this the rule of the Shangshu Mansion? Is this how you teach your maids to behave?"

Zi Yi was choked by her words and angrily said, "Who said that the Shangshu Mansion has a rule of bullying newcomers? How can a country bumpkin like you question the rules of our Shangshu Mansion?"

Lingzhi sneered: "So, the quality of the Shangshu Mansion is generally high, and only you need to improve?"

She never uses any curse words when she scolds people, and she always leaves them speechless.

Zi Yi was so angry that she was trembling all over. She pointed at her with trembling fingers and was unable to say anything in rebuttal for a moment.

Lingzhi thought that she should now deeply understand that she was not easy to deal with.

"alright."

At this time, Xia Qinghe glanced at Lingzhi and said, "I knew you were very capable, but I didn't expect you were even more ruthless with your words."

The words were full of disparagement.

To put it bluntly, Lingzhi has no special abilities and can only show off his eloquence!

Faced with the ridicule, Lingzhi was very cowardly: "I am wrong to disturb the lady's peace."

"If you make a mistake, you should be punished."

Xia Qinghe took a sip of tea, glanced at Lingzhi, and said lightly: "It's a bit crowded in the car, so I'll punish you by making you sit in the ox cart at the back!"

Zi Yi gloated: "Then you'll have to squeeze into a car with the animals."

An ox cart is just an ox cart.

Want to intimidate her?

Then she would—dismount.

Lingzhi happily stood up and as he was about to get off the carriage, he heard laughter from behind him:

"The stinky oxcart matches her foul mouth."

Lingzhi didn't look back, jumped off the carriage, walked to the ox cart at the back of the team, and climbed up.

The ox cart was used to carry food rations. In addition to grains and cereals, it was also loaded with several small iron cages containing poultry for meat.

The driver was wearing a conical hat, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.

Lingzhi was in a low mood and had no mood to talk to him. She just looked up at the sky blankly.

Life is full of setbacks.

At this time, you only need to embrace your ideals and quickly accept your fate——

You can lie down and sleep.

The scene of Lingzhi lying down and pretending to be in a mess made the coachman laugh.

She turned her head to look for the voice that was laughing unfriendly.

When I saw his face, I was stunned.

This is fucking...

He looks so familiar!

He is not a coachman at all, he is clearly Su Shisan!

Lingzhi was shocked: "Why are you here too?"

Su Shisan chuckled softly: "There's nothing I can do. I'm being hunted by my enemies, so I have to go to the capital to hide."

"Then how did you get into the team?"

"What are you talking about? I was recruited openly to be the guard who will protect the Prince Regent as he returns to the capital."

Find a killer to protect people?

It's quite funny too.

Fortunately, Su Shisan was wearing a mask at the Shen Mansion, so he would not be recognized by Xiao Qingyun.

Lingzhi wanted to ask him how he did it, but then she thought, it was normal for a shady killer like him to know some unconventional tricks.

Su Shisan's eyes were gleaming. "I'm fine now, but you, how come you were kicked off the carriage?"

"I'm not liked by the new master."

Lingzhi didn't take it to heart.

Lingzhi is not a real maid in the Shen Mansion. Whenever she can't make it, she pretends to be dead and escapes, wearing a human skin mask to travel around.

Su Shisan knew that she had an open-minded personality, so he didn't say a word to comfort her.
