Chapter 313 Are we friends now?
Song Yuntang saw that she looked very angry and it didn't seem like she was pretending.
Although Jiang Surao is a bit bad at talking, she is a person of true nature. Even if she has bad intentions, they are all written openly on her face. Maybe Yang Linyuan likes this aspect of her.
"Miss Jiang, you can be more confident. Since the Yang family proposed a marriage, maybe they are attracted to Miss Jiang as a person?"
"Come on." Jiang Surao was full of disbelief. "I recalled the scene of our previous meeting again and again. Yang Linyuan was very rude in front of me. He said no more than ten sentences to me."
Song Yuntang touched his nose.
"It's getting late now. Since Miss Jiang is also going to the county town, why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other on the way. When we get to the county town, we will have plenty of opportunities to reminisce about the past."
"That won't work. I still want you to talk to me." Jiang Surao said, turning back to look at her maid, "Qiuyue, go to Miss Song's carriage and ask Miss Song to come to me."
Qiuyue had no choice but to get off the carriage.
She really didn't understand. The handkerchiefs Song Yuntang sold to the young lady were so expensive before, and it was obvious that he was ripping her off. Yet she was still willing to deal with Song Yuntang.
No matter how much you worry in your heart, you still have to listen to your master.
Since they were all going to the county town, it didn't matter which carriage they took, so Song Yuntang didn't refuse. After exchanging carriages with Qiuyue, the Jiang family's carriage went in front and the carriage that Tu Shi and the others were in went behind, and they set off towards the county town.
In the carriage, Jiang Surao glanced in the direction of Song Yuntang. This was the first time she was alone with Song Yuntang, and her expression was quite unnatural.
"Hey, what have you been doing recently? I haven't seen you much in the farm or in your shop."
Even if you look closely, there is nothing wrong with Song Yuntang's facial features.
No one knows what the Lin family was thinking. They discarded the pearl as a fish eye, and then took the real fish eye back and pampered it.
If Lin Zhaozhao was taken back and Song Yuntang was still raised in the mansion, the Lin family would have two legitimate daughters.
At most, she would just prepare a dowry when she got married, but Song Yuntang's marriage partner would definitely be someone who could become a helper to the Yuanwai Mansion.
But I didn't expect that Mr. Lin, who always put profit first, would make such a mistake.
Song Yuntang looked at her in surprise, "Ms. Jiang went to see me on purpose?"
Jiang Surao turned her face away, looking a little unnatural.
"Who is looking for you? Stop flattering yourself."
Listening to her impolite words, Song Yuntang didn't get angry. She smiled and said, "I was really busy recently. I got married and opened a shop. My husband was studying in the county town and stayed there for some time. It's normal that Miss Jiang didn't meet me."
Jiang Surao was surprised.
"When did you get married? Why didn't you invite me to the wedding banquet?"
Song Yuntang smiled and pointed at his hair. "Such obvious marks, didn't Miss Jiang see it?"
Then she said, "My husband comes from a farming family, and he was worried that he might not be able to entertain Miss Jiang well, so he didn't tell her."
I wasn't originally from that circle.
Besides, she and Jiang Surao were not familiar enough to have any personal connections, so she certainly wouldn't rashly invite her to the wedding banquet.
Jiang Surao snorted, "In your heart, I am the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich?"
"Of course not." Song Yuntang said, "Miss Jiang looks difficult to get along with, but she is kind and generous. But you also know that I am no longer a Miss Lin. If I invite you, others will think I am trying to marry into your Jiang family."
Jiang Surao also sighed.
"My mother was talking to me about you yesterday. She said your shop was smashed and someone scolded Lin Zhaozhao."
Song Yuntang looked at her with a smile.
"Is Auntie's illness healed?"
"It's fine now." Then she frowned in confusion, "But I don't know what's going on. All the concubines in the mansion are in poor health, and my father is also in poor health. When I see him these days, I always feel that he is too weak, but my mother told me not to meddle in other people's business."
Song Yuntang knew the reason very well.
Mrs. Jiang's goal should be to get rid of the father and keep the son, so that her children can inherit the Jiang family's property, and get rid of the concubines in the mansion at the same time.
Since my husband’s heart is not with me anyway, I might as well hold on to what I can.
He is a very decisive and sober person.
"Since Auntie has said so, Miss Jiang should just listen to her."
"Of course." Jiang Su Rao looked at Song Yun Tang, "Don't call me Miss Jiang all the time. I call you by your name, so you can call me by my name too, or call me A Rao, that's what my mother calls me."
Song Yuntang nodded happily.
"good."
Jiang Surao looked at her with a smile, "So now, can we barely be considered friends?"
"certainly."
Just as Song Yuntang finished speaking, the coachman let out a "whoosh" and the carriage suddenly stopped.
Because they stopped in a hurry, she and Jiang Surao lost their balance and rushed forward, hitting the edge of the car.
Jiang Surao was hit on the arm and shoulder, and Song Yuntang's forehead was swollen and red, with even some blood oozing out from the middle of the swelling.
"Uncle Qian, what's going on?" Jiang Surao asked.
She felt like her arms were going to be broken.
Uncle Qian, who was driving the coach, swallowed nervously.
"Miss, someone is blocking the way ahead."
The two men covered their injured parts and looked at each other. They lifted the car curtain and saw more than a dozen burly men standing across the road in front of them. Each of them was big and strong and looked very ferocious.
The driver of the carriage behind might have seen it from a distance, and his first reaction was to turn the carriage around and drive back as fast as possible.
The people sitting in the carriage didn't understand the situation. When they saw the coachman turning back, Qiuyue became anxious.
"Master, why did you turn around? We are going to the county town. You have to catch up with the carriage in front."
However, the driver just kept on driving and said, "Ladies, if you still want to live, don't talk."
"No, our young lady is still in the carriage in front." Qiuyue was almost crying.
I couldn't help but blame Song Yuntang in my heart. Why couldn't he find a more reliable driver? How could he turn back before he had even driven halfway?
Could it be that the driver only took half the money?
When Tu Shi heard the noise, he quickly opened his eyes, first lifted the curtain to look back to see what was going on, then quickly walked to the driver and snatched the reins from his hands.
"Get off the carriage and hide first, quickly!"
The driver was the first to jump off the carriage.
For him, although the carriage is his means of livelihood, his life is obviously more important than the carriage.
Moreover, he couldn't beat the man who asked him to get off the carriage, so he might as well find a place to hide and make plans after the group of robbers in front left.
