Chapter 190 What's happening over there?
Fu Zhaoning and his men drove the carriage out of the city.
It might not be possible to get back at night this time, as the city gates would be closed at night, so Fu Zhaoning also made some extra preparations.
Head east all the way.
The autumn wind was bleak. As we got farther away from the city, there were fewer and fewer people on the official road. Only the sound of carriage wheels could be heard in the distance.
"Miss, the carriage in front is traveling at about the same speed as theirs. Are they also in a hurry?" Eleven followed the carriage on horseback.
Fu Zhaoning lifted the car curtain and was a little surprised to hear his words.
"Can you hear that far?"
"Zhong Jian said that my hearing is pretty good."
No wonder Zhong Jian specially sent Eleven to come with him, there was something special about it. Maybe Zhong Jian was worried that something might happen in the wilderness outside the city, and no one would hear her screams, so he sent Eleven here?
Fu Zhaoning pulled himself back to his thoughts.
"Then maybe the other party is also going to Zhuangzi's place."
This is not surprising.
There are a lot of fields and farms gathered together there. Although they have different owners, many of them are connected together. I heard that when there are rice fields or rape flowers, they are also connected together in large areas. The scenery is quite beautiful.
So when the season is right, the owners of those farms will bring their family and friends there to stay for a few days and enjoy the pastoral scenery.
It's no surprise that there are horse-drawn carriages on this road.
"The carriage has stopped."
After a while, Eleven spoke again.
We haven't reached Zhuangzi yet. Did we stop halfway?
This time, Fu Zhaoning was thinking about moving the stones back, so she brought two carriages, a new one, and the old Fu family's carriage. Chen Shan drove one, and Qiu Sheng drove the other behind, with Chun Zheng in tow.
"Miss, then shall we just ignore them for now and drive over?"
Chen Shan was a little nervous. Nothing could go wrong on the way.
"Maybe they just stopped to rest, it's okay."
From a distance, they saw a carriage parked beside the mountain road.
There were two people next to the carriage, one squatting and the other standing, looking around.
When he saw their carriage, the man standing there seemed to be stunned for a moment, then turned around and seemed to say something to the people in the carriage.
"Miss, they don't look like they are just stopping to rest." Chen Shan stared closely.
"Go ahead."
Fu Zhaoning didn't think too much about it. She just decided to leave the city at the last minute. There wouldn't be someone watching her and waiting for her on the way to plot against her, right?
Although she has offended a lot of people recently.
Like Young Marquis Yi, Zhao Chen and his sister, and Song Yuanlin and her sister-in-law.
There is also the second manager of Tongfu Pharmacy or something like that.
After listing them all like this, Fu Zhaoning felt ashamed, as if she had really offended quite a few people.
"Stop the car, please stop the car!"
The man said something to the people in the carriage and then ran to the middle of the road, waving at them.
When they got closer, Chen Shan and the others saw that the other person was a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked like a butler or something, and had a somewhat shrewd look.
The person squatting next to the carriage was a middle-aged woman who was dressed quite well. She seemed to be the housekeeper of a wealthy family.
The carriage looks quite exquisite and majestic.
Especially the horses used for pulling carts, they are strong and energetic, and they look like good horses that are very valuable.
"Miss?"
Chen Shan asked Fu Zhaoning for his opinion.
"Stop and take a look."
Fu Zhaoning had already lowered the car curtain.
The carriage stopped. Eleven, who had no carriage, looked at the man and the woman from his horse.
When the middle-aged man saw them stop, he smiled, walked over quickly, and bowed to the carriage, looking like he was being very polite.
"My lord, my last name is Deng. My master is a merchant from Jiangnan. He just arrived in the capital a few days ago. Today, he is going to visit an old friend at Dongshan Manor. That is my master's aunt. I don't know if he was too tired from traveling a few days ago. Now he vomited after the carriage drove on the mountain road."
He pointed at the old woman squatting on the side of the road.
The old woman stood up with the help of the carriage and turned around.
Only then did Chen Shan and the others realize that even if the other party was a woman, she was a very noble woman. It would be better to say that she was a rich old lady.
But it was a bit strange that such an old lady had no servants to serve her.
Moreover, the people in the carriage said that he was her nephew. His aunt was not feeling well, but he was staying in the carriage alone and not showing up?
Eleven glanced at the old lady, and after a few more glances he realized that she did not match the gorgeous clothes and looked a little haggard.
The first impression was correct, and the second glance at her elegance was only because of her outfit.
She was originally just an old woman, but she dressed up as a noble lady.
When she looked over, she looked a little unhappy.
"Our aunt is from the capital, and she hasn't met our master for many years." Butler Deng seemed to know how Eleven and the others would feel, and gave an explanation.
Eleven asked, "Speak to the point."
This stranger stopped the car on the road. Why did he say so much?
They also have to hurry on their way.
"Yes, yes, I've talked too much." Butler Deng said quickly, "Because my master has something urgent to do and can't waste time, but my aunt can't take our carriage. My master is not in good health, so, can you please give my aunt a ride?"
Are you going to take their carriage?
Eleven took one look at the old woman and refused outright.
"inconvenient."
That old woman also looked mean, and they had their own carriage, so why did they have to make things convenient for themselves and trouble others?
"Oh, oh, oh, my lord, we are in trouble. Our master really cannot be delayed. Her health is not good." Butler Deng was anxious.
"That's your business."
Eleven only wants to protect Fu Zhaoning, what do other people have to do with him?
"My lord, you see, this road should lead to the same place. We are going to Dongshan Manor, and you should be going the same way, right? Our master wanted to go there to look for medicine. We heard that Senior Ji from the World Medicine Alliance and Master Situ from Tongfu Pharmacy were there today, so our master wanted to talk to them about medicine. It's too late, and I don't know if the two will leave."
Butler Deng was really anxious.
As he said these words, he looked at the old woman with displeasure.
It's really infuriating. The master came to the capital, but he didn't expect to meet such a terrible family of relatives. He couldn't get rid of them, and now they are causing trouble.
But the master was too soft-hearted. If it were him, he would have simply left the old woman here halfway and let her walk back to the city by herself.
Fu Zhaoning was stunned when he heard the news about Mr. Ji and Situ Bai.
Master and his disciple Bai all went to Dongshan Manor?
Is there something good over there?
She was actually a little curious.
"Eleven, let's take her with us." Fu Zhaoning said in the carriage, "Let her sit in the back carriage."
