Chapter 75: Haven’t you eaten pork but seen a pig run?
Shu Mingyuan thought for a moment, summoned two of his men, and whispered a few words to them. Then he walked towards Prince Xiao's mansion. He didn't dare approach Prince Xiao's carriage, but instead found He Bo and respectfully asked, "He, Chief Steward, I have something I'd like to ask you..."
No one on Hebo's side had any accidents last night, so they naturally got up early and had received the prince's instructions long ago. When he saw Shu Mingyuan coming over, Hebo said with a smile, "Brother Mingyuan, you are too polite. Normally, we in the Xiao Palace are not allowed to say too much about these things, but since you asked, then I will intervene for once."
Shu Mingyuan bowed politely, "He, the chief steward, please speak."
He Bo then whispered, "Since it's the refugees' fault, then naturally they should take the blame! Bandits and refugees are rampant in this area, who doesn't know that?"
Shu Mingyuan's eyes lit up. "That's right, Steward He. Thank you for your guidance. I won't bother you anymore. We'll pack up and be on the road soon. Please follow me."
He Bo smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course. We in Prince Xiao's Mansion always remember the emperor's grace and will never forget our status."
After the two men finished their discussion, they each returned to their respective places. A short while later, they heard Shu Mingyuan scolding Liu Hongcai's family, "What are you all arguing about? Who are you to blame for the lost things?"
"On the road to exile, you still dare to hide things? If not your own house, whose house should I steal from?"
"Hurry up and leave! If you delay any longer, you'll have to sleep in the wild tonight. Not only will your things be stolen, but you'll be killed too."
Liu Hongcai's family couldn't refute anything. After all, hiding things during exile was a taboo. Everyone knew what happened last night. It was that group of refugees who stole it...
The eldest lady wanted to say something, but Liu Hongcai stopped her with a look. "Alright, I can't keep an eye on my things, who can I blame? I'm not going to let anyone pack up and get ready to go!"
A bunch of stupid women with long hair and short knowledge, didn’t they see that Shu Mingyuan went to find Prince Xiao’s Mansion first, and then came to urge them to set off?
This clearly shows that they will not be the ones to be taken advantage of for losing something, and the thing that was lost can only blame itself for its bad luck!
All the guards at Prince Xiao's Mansion were skilled in martial arts. They were asleep and had no idea what happened last night, but the people at Prince Xiao's Mansion definitely saw it.
Shu Mingyuan ran to find the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion. It must be because the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion promised not to say anything more that Shu Mingyuan dared to scold them so harshly, because Prince Xiao's Mansion would not help them.
The carriage moved forward slowly. No one knew that Ji Xiaohan had woken up except the people in Prince Xiao's Mansion. Su Wanyan was leaning in the carriage with Ji Xiaohan at this moment, looking embarrassed.
She was woken up by the noise of Shu Mingyuan and the others. She sat opposite Ji Xiaohan in the middle of the night and fell asleep in a daze at the end of the Yin hour. She remembered that she was hugging her own quilt before she fell asleep, but when she opened her eyes again, she was actually... actually lying on Ji Xiaohan. Her quilt had been kicked far away by her.
She looked into Ji Xiaohan's eyes awkwardly, feeling socially frustrated!
"Princess, if you move any further you will have to sit outside the carriage." Just as Su Wanyan was moving and moving, and was about to move to the door, Ji Xiaohan reminded her helplessly.
Su Wanyan: “…”
Calm down! Calm down!
At least you come from a modern society with open-minded people. Even though you've never had a serious relationship, let alone marriage, you've never eaten pork, but you've seen pigs run. So, were all those porn movies on Xiaohuang Island wasted?
You've watched it from a distance and have a deep understanding of it, so how can you be stumped by such a small scene?
