Chapter 92 Farewell
Madam Xiao and Xu Shuyao were naturally unaware of this matter. Their maids were busy packing all the necessary items for the trip.
Wang knew early on that the old lady was going back to her old home, so she began to have people prepare a carriage suitable for long-distance travel.
In order to make the elderly sit comfortably, in addition to laying multiple layers of cushions on the carriage, the carriage was also equipped with shock-absorbing wheels and hubs.
At Mingzhe Hall, the prince personally brought a dozen guards to see his grandmother off.
Xu Shuyao and the old lady rode in the same carriage, followed by a carriage for the maids and servants, and another carriage loaded with gifts brought back from Duke Cheng's Mansion.
Xiao Jinshan seemed eager to do something, but when she thought about her wedding date at the end of the year and the wedding dress that needed to be embroidered, she couldn't say anything.
He just held Xu Shuyao's hand and said enviously, "I've never been far away from home in my life, but this is your second time."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "If you come across any interesting or special items over there, don't forget to bring some back for me."
Xu Shuyao smiled and nodded.
Because it was the old lady of the mansion who was going on a trip, everyone in the Chengguo Mansion came out to see her off.
Chen also took her hand and advised her niece, "You are younger, so you must take good care of the old lady on the road. I know you are a smart child, but you just need to be more vigilant." Xu Shuyao nodded.
Suddenly I thought of my second cousin, and it was not appropriate for her to ask about this matter.
But Xu Shuyao has been going in and out of Songhe Hall these days, but the old lady has never mentioned it. Did she not let the old lady know or did she not hire a concubine?
She opened her mouth, but finally swallowed the words back.
Her aunt looked smart, but she was very concerned about her reputation. She probably didn't want anyone to mention this matter. After all, the ten-mile red wedding was such a perfect and enviable marriage.
Xu Shuyao took advantage of her aunt's conversation to lower her voice and said, "The old lady is not at home these days. If you have any questions, you can ask my uncle or the prince for help."
After hearing this, Chen was stunned and her face turned pale for a moment.
The second master has good character, while Xiao Mo has great supernatural powers.
Although he is not good enough to me, if someone in the Duke's Mansion is in trouble, he should spare no effort to help.
After Chen, Wang also gave Xu Shuyao some instructions.
Liu Qingwan stood there far away, said some polite words to the old lady, and then stood next to the second young master without saying anything to her in particular.
Only Xu Shuyao didn't care.
Thinking of Yuzhu who still lives in Jiyunzhai, they still have accounts to settle!
It would be fine if she could hold back and not take action, but as long as she took action, Xu Shuyao wouldn't mind letting her suffer a big loss.
She had trouble with the lack of evidence regarding the Shen family's affairs, and also because the other party had become the second young lady of the Duke's Mansion.
Liu Qingwan is the host and she is the guest.
If she took the opportunity to take revenge, Xu Shuyao thought that no one in the mansion would stand on her side.
So, she endured it and waited for an opportunity.
The carriage gradually drove away into the distance, and she put down her waving hand with some regret.
The rest of the people were standing outside the mansion gate, only the prince Xiao Mo was riding on a horse, followed by more than ten guards.
Seeing that she finally lowered the curtain, Madam Xiao smiled and said, "It will be very hard along the way, but you will also encounter some different scenery."
Xu Shuyao nodded, and thinking of the girlhood times that the old lady had told her about, she couldn't help but look forward to this journey.
The old man took off his shoes and lay down on the soft couch. He then said, "Not bad! You should try lying down too!"
There is a soft couch on each side of the carriage. I heard that the Duchess listened to her eldest son's suggestion and specially asked someone to make it.
Xu Shuyao could feel that the seat was soft and not uncomfortable at all.
Lie down?
She felt a little embarrassed.
But the old man had a smile on his face, as if he was waiting to see.
Xu Shuyao held her breath for a few moments before finally taking off her embroidered shoes, and then she slowly lay down as she said.
She stretched herself, and seeing the old lady still looking at her, she smiled and said, "Very good!"
After hearing what was said, Madam Xiao closed her eyes and said to her before going to sleep: "Your eldest cousin will only take us out of the city. Call me when he leaves!"
Xu Shuyao smiled and said okay.
The spring breeze in March blows through the curtains onto my face, bringing a warm and pleasant feeling.
Xu Shuyao blinked and turned to face outside the car.
The curtains were occasionally lifted by the wind, letting in a little bit of the scenery outside.
Whether it was the shops on the street, the vendors selling goods, or Xiao Mo's long legs straddling the horse...
Occasionally, a beam of light from outside would shine in and onto her fair face, and she would raise her hand to cover it.
His eyes closed slightly, and soon he fell asleep to the rumbling sound of the carriage.
When she was half asleep, she felt someone was looking at her.
Xu Shuyao was startled and her eyes widened. She saw that the curtain of the carriage in front of her was wide open. Xiao Mo had already dismounted and was standing in front of the window. She didn't know how long he had been standing there.
He seemed to be looking at the pair of feet wearing white silk stockings on the couch, and she hurriedly shrank back into her skirt uncomfortably.
Xiao Mo looked away, "Awake?"
There was a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at her.
Perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the old lady, he leaned close to the car wall and whispered, "I'm going back! If anything happens on the way, call Wuying, there is another one!" He pointed his finger at a burly man.
The man looked to be in his middle age, with a dark and red face, and his back looked like a gangster.
He just turned his head, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and smiled at them, "Hehe..."
Xu Shuyao curled her lips and said, "Okay!"
Xiao Mo continued, "His last name is Qiao. He's not a guard in the palace. He used to be a gangster. With him and Wuying this time, encountering ordinary bandits and bullies shouldn't be a problem. If..."
He looked at Xu Shuyao, and his brows suddenly furrowed. "If there is really danger, I have something for you!"
After saying that, he took out a hidden weapon that looked like a sleeve arrow from his bosom and motioned her to wear it on her wrist.
Xu Shuyao put it on as instructed. He reached out and gently pressed the mechanism. With a "whoosh", a short arrow flew out.
It was inserted into the willow tree by the roadside, and it went in half a finger deep.
The guard tried to pull it out, but couldn't.
Xu Shuyao was a little curious, so Xiao Mo pointed out to her one by one which parts of the arrows were poisoned.
After everything was explained clearly, he mounted his horse and prepared to leave.
She remembered the old lady's words and pointed anxiously at the opposite side.
Xiao Mo smiled faintly and shook his head.
Xu Shuyao nodded, and held the sleeve arrow on her wrist again, suddenly realizing that the prince looked a little gentle just now.
Maybe it was because he thought about her accompanying the old lady all the way, and suddenly he felt a little kind-hearted!
She thought quickly, and then she heard a voice from the side: "Mo'er is back?"
