The next morning, after breakfast, Qiu Yinong and Qiu Hanqing took Lu Yuan out.
The two elders of the Qiu family worked in a stone quarry in Zeyang County, Huaining Prefecture. It was not far from Qingquan Town and could be reached in two days.
Most of them are official roads, and there are many inns and post stations along the way for rest, so the journey is safe.
Just after we got a short distance onto the official road, a convoy from the escort agency appeared in front of us.
Seeing that the Qiu family's cart was pulled by a deer, the leader was very curious and came over riding an old horse.
"Where are you going, little brother? You can actually catch a stag to drive for you."
Seeing that he didn't look like a bad person, Qiu Hanqing politely replied, "Go to Zeyang County, Huaining Prefecture."
"What a coincidence! We are also going to Zeyang County. If you don't mind, you can go with us. It will be a good thing for us to take care of you."
"We are the escorts from Yangji Escort Agency in Qinyang County." The leader said cheerfully, clasping his fists.
"My name is Yang Hu." Qiu Hanqing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he was a bodyguard from Yang's Escort Agency.
Yangji Escort Agency has a very good reputation, and Qinyang County is also part of Huaiqin Prefecture.
"Then we brothers and sisters would be honored to refuse." Qiu Hanqing happily clasped his fists in return.
Yang Hu laughed and said that since they were going the same way, they could look after each other.
After saying a few more words, Yang Hu rode back to the head of the team.
Qiu Yinong dressed up today, covering her fair cheeks with brown foundation and adding some pockmarks.
The whole person has changed completely, also to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
They had lunch outdoors at noon. After Qiu Yinong showed off her skills, she quickly gained everyone's attention, including the girl who was being escorted.
He even insisted on riding on a cart with Qiu Yinong.
"Miss, please listen and don't act silly. You are the third daughter of the Qinyang Wang family. How can you ride in a cart with that country girl?"
A woman stopped Wang Xinrui, her eyes full of disdain.
"What's wrong with the country girl?" Wang Xinrui pouted unhappily.
But the old woman still refused: "Miss San, you have forgotten what Madam said. You must obey me at all times."
"Well, you just use my mother to pressure me!" Wang Xinrui muttered unhappily.
The old woman was satisfied. She said a few words to the maid and got out of the carriage.
He came up to Qiu Yinong with an air of pride, and Qiu Yinong looked up at the old woman in confusion.
"What are you thinking, girl? Are you trying to get our Third Miss to ride in this shabby cart with you?"
"If you are sick, find a doctor immediately. Don't bite everyone you catch. It's scary." Qiu Yinong stopped Qiu Hanqing and retorted.
The old woman was so angry that she almost fell over. She pointed at Qiu Yinong's nose and cursed: "What a sharp-tongued little girl, you still want to use this broken deer to get close to our Third Young Lady, I... Ouch!"
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, come here, Yang Hu, are you dead?"
The old woman wanted to kick Lu Yuan, but not only did she miss, she was kicked to the ground by Lu Yuan.
She wailed in pain, and Yang Hu walked up to her and looked at her calmly.
"You are a dead man. These two brothers and sisters might be some kind of bandits who are deliberately approaching our Third Miss."
"You are the escort of our Third Young Lady. If anything goes wrong with our Third Young Lady, you will lose more than three heads."
"Catch them and send them to the authorities. Ouch, it hurts so much."
"Madam Wang, what you said is quite interesting. The Qiu brothers and sisters are fellow villagers whom I invited to travel with me."
"Everyone was watching. You were the one who came and picked on the girl. You even tried to kick the deer, and now you got kicked back by the deer."
"You should be thankful that this is a deer and not a donkey, otherwise your old bones would really fall apart." Yang Hu also hit back without any hesitation.
Nanny Wang was so angry that her face turned green. "How dare you, Yang Hu, challenge your employer? You're so bold."
"Oh, you're so foul-mouthed! Nanny Wang, don't you have the habit of rinsing your mouth?"
One of Yang Hu's confidants fanned his nose with his hand and said, "You'd better understand one thing. You're just a slave. What kind of employer are you?"
"The third young lady in your family hasn't spoken yet, how can it be the turn of a servant like you to speak?"
"You!" Nanny Wang was furious.
"You, you, you, what do you mean by you? I am at least a good citizen with an identity document. Do you have one?" As he said this, the young man spat at Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang was so angry that she yelled, "Li Gui, Zhang Fan, where have you all been?"
The two servants whose names were called were not moved at all. This old woman bullied them all the time, so why would anyone help her?
"How outrageous! How outrageous!" Nanny Wang became even angrier.
Wang Xinrui was supported by the maid and came over. She sullenly shouted, "That's enough. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Third Miss!" Nanny Wang looked at Wang Xinrui in disbelief.
Wang Xinrui frowned and said, "It's my business that I like the girl from the Qiu family. Even though you didn't allow me to ride in the cart with her, I agreed."
"What are you doing? What gives you the right to chase people away?"
"They didn't say anything wrong, why should you teach them a lesson on my behalf?"
"If you make trouble again, go back to Qinyang immediately!" Wang Xinrui was really angry this time.
Nanny Wang wanted to use the Madam to suppress her: "Miss San, how could you treat me like this? Don't forget the Madam..."
"Shut up. In the past, I respected you a little for my mother's sake, so you didn't call yourself a slave in front of me. But now you want to use my mother to pressure me again and again."
"If my mother knew you were acting so pretentiously in front of me, I wonder if you can still stay in the Wang family!"
"You've been so arrogant for so long, haven't you even forgotten who your master is?"
Hearing Wang Xinrui's angry rebuke, Nanny Wang was really scared.
I thought the Third Young Lady was a soft-hearted person, but I didn't expect that she would scold her like this today just for a few outsiders.
"I, I'm also doing this for the good of the Third Miss."
"Stop trying to pressure me with the excuse of doing things for my own good. I don't want that. Go back!" Nanny Wang was frightened when she saw that Wang Xinrui was really angry.
The maid came forward to support her, and she didn't dare to look at the maid.
After everyone left, Wang Xinrui bowed apologetically and said, "Captain Yang, Miss Qiu, it's all my fault for not disciplining you properly. I've let you both suffer."
"It's okay, the third lady has also taught her a lesson." Qiu Yinong said with a smile.
Yang Hu also nodded: "Miss Third, the old woman next to you is really taking advantage of her age. You should be more firm so that you won't be manipulated by this old woman."
"I understand. Thank you for your kindness, Chief Yang."
"I'm sorry to trouble you, Sister Qiu. I'll go back first." Wang Xinrui was too embarrassed to stay with Qiu Yinong. After saying this apologetically, she nodded and turned back to the carriage.
Yang Hu smiled and shook his head, then shouted to the team, "Keep going."
