Chapter 1040 It’s Her Territory
But no matter how much Madam Cheng and the others objected, they would have very few opportunities to speak to Xiao Lanyuan during the rest of their trip.
Sometimes, when the team had just been ordered to rest, when they got off the carriage, they learned that Xiao Lanyuan had taken Fu Zhaoning to find water nearby.
They said they were looking for water, but in fact the couple just left so many people behind to go play around nearby.
Sometimes they would bring back a few bunches of wild fruits, sometimes a bunch of wild flowers, and sometimes a few fish.
Anyway, I don’t know anything else, but Princess Fuyun could see that Fu Zhaoning was very happy, because every time she came back, her face was full of smiles and her eyes were bright.
That was a woman who was loved.
There were two other times when she was even carried back by Xiao Lanyuan.
She said she fell asleep while basking in the warm sun on a big rock. Xiao Lanyuan didn't want to wake her up, so he carried her back.
When they entered the city and stayed in an inn, the young couple's room was far away from them, and they never came out once they entered the room.
However, there were two times when they went out shopping at night by themselves, and when they came back they brought back a few bags of local snacks.
Princess Fuyun couldn't eat at all, but Xiaoyue and the others were eating happily.
"It seems like they are just traveling along the way." Princess Fuyun said to Madam Cheng with envy.
Because when they returned to the inn last night, Fu Zhaoning was holding a bunch of little gadgets in his hands, and he gave some to Xiaoyue, even some hairpins and the like.
Eat, shop and play along the way.
But just don’t take them!
Mrs. Cheng could never find a chance to catch up with them. Xiao Lanyuan and Fu Zhaoning slipped away very quickly, sometimes even going out through the window instead of the main door.
She said it tactfully once, but Xiao Lanyuan didn't realize that she had any objections. Instead, he thought it was really strange why they didn't go through the main entrance, and he explained it seriously.
It is said that the street is closer if you jump out of the window, but you still have to take a big detour to get to the main entrance of the inn, so they just want to save trouble.
Madam Cheng also mentioned that Princess Fuyun was also visiting Zhaoguo for the first time, so if she wanted to go to the market or something, she could be taken with her to experience the customs and practices of the various cities in Zhaoguo.
But Xiao Lanyuan said it was inconvenient. What if others thought he had two wives? His reputation would be tarnished, which almost choked her to death.
What has tarnished your reputation?
There are many men who have three wives and four concubines. Who says that this is a disgraceful thing?
But since Xiao Lanyuan had already said so, how could Princess Fuyun have the nerve to follow him?
They were forced to watch the couple play all the way.
There were two or three times when Fu Zhaoning treated patients and received consultation fees. He even treated a local tycoon once, who had two pigs slaughtered and given him meat, and also a large box of gold beans.
Fu Zhaoning grabbed a handful and gave it to Xiaoyue immediately.
"Take it and buy some candy."
Princess Fuyun always felt that Fu Zhaoning's action was a slap in her face, a retaliation for her sending gold beans to Prince Jun's mansion.
She was so ashamed and angry that she got pimples on her face and looked haggard from the journey.
He has been riding in a carriage all the time, eating little, being jealous and sulking, and thinking too much. Isn't this ruining his skin?
When the group finally entered the small town not far from Youqing Peak, Mrs. Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She patted the back of Princess Fuyun's hand, half to comfort her, "Ah Fu, this is where I grew up. Everyone in the town knows me. You don't have to be afraid of anything you want to do in the town."
In other words, this is her territory.
