Chapter 153: With the Prince here, the Princess will not be in danger
Shen Xinhou's heart was even more uncertain than Liu's. They could still go to Quanzhou safely now because Princess Xiao did not pursue the matter for the time being. However, Prince Xiao woke up.
Once Prince Xiao finds out what they have done, they probably won't have many days left to live.
But he still gritted his teeth and comforted Liu: "Don't panic yet. Princess Xiao has promised to keep us safe along the way, so I believe she won't make things too difficult for us."
Ultimately, they were forced into a corner. With so many people in their family, if they hadn't obeyed, they would have died long ago. Besides, even if they were bad, Princess Xiao and Prince Xiao were fine. Doesn't that mean nothing happened?
Shen Xinhou thought righteously, and his tone couldn't help but bring out a bit of confidence, "It must be fine. As the dignified Princess Xiao, you can't go back on your word after taking the money, right?"
After being comforted by Shen Xinhou, Liu Shi felt that it made sense and felt relieved.
Liu Hongcai also sensed the danger hidden in the heavy rain. He looked at Prince Xiao and his group, who were walking leisurely at the end of their group, and then at the anxious attitude of Shu Mingyuan and his men. He told his wife, "Tell everyone to stop dawdling and move quickly. Anyone who dares to complain or get tired will have their legs broken by me."
"Okay, got it." Liu Hongcai's wife has always regarded her husband as her God. After hearing what he said, she agreed without asking any more questions and hurriedly instructed people to give instructions one by one.
In this way, Liu Hongcai's family walked the fastest and were the first to walk past the broken river bank. Shen Xinhou's family was afraid that Prince Xiao would kill them secretly after he woke up, so they walked at the same speed. When they had all walked, Ji Xiaohan winked at Xiao Yi and Xiao Er.
Xiao Yi and Xiao Er immediately understood and quickly separated. After Shaoyao and Rong Mama's carriage passed smoothly, their speed of travel gradually slowed down.
Shaoyao and Rong Mama sat in the carriage with the curtains all drawn, so they couldn't see anything outside. At first, they didn't feel anything was wrong. When their carriage was speeding up, Shaoyao asked Xiao Shiliu, who was driving outside, "Sixteenth Brother, why are you going so fast all of a sudden? If you go any faster, the Princess and the others won't be able to keep up."
Xiao Shiliu didn't answer, but continued to drive the carriage forward at full speed. Shaoyao and Rong Mama exchanged a glance, ignoring the rain pouring in from outside the carriage door. They opened it and Rong Mama asked anxiously, "Shiliu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Shiliu was wearing a straw raincoat, and his face beneath his hat was already soaked by the rain. Seeing their anxiety, he said loudly, "It's okay. The prince has something to do. Let's go to the intersection ahead and wait for them."
Aunt Rong looked back worriedly. In the rain and fog, she could only see the families of Shen Xinhou and Liu Hongcai walking on the road. She didn't know how far behind their young lady's carriage was left.
"Sixteenth brother, the princess is following the prince and his men while they are doing things. Will she be scared?" Shaoyao was as anxious as Rong Mama, but they had already run so far away. If they went back, Xiao Shiliu would definitely stop them.
Xiao Shiliu glanced at Shaoyao again, still smiling, "Don't worry, the prince is here, and the princess will not be in danger. You and I will wait at the intersection ahead. If everything goes well, we will meet up soon."
