Tang Chen's hand holding the kettle trembled slightly. Beauty, what beauty? Didn't this beauty already escape? Who else could there be?
Seeing Tang Chen's puzzled expression, Jiang Wangyue asked, "Why do you think those people haven't made any movement in all these days?"
“…Is it possible?”
Jiang Wangyue nodded helplessly and explained, "My pretty lady is waiting for me to go back and rescue her. After all, she is not you. If we wait too long, I'm afraid she will be exposed."
Tang Chen said, "You don't have to worry about that at all. Those guards just play cards and drink all day long. They don't do any real work at all."
Jiang Wangyue looked at Tang Chen like he was an idiot and said, "A prisoner of your rank, do you really think he would be so foolish as to let a bunch of idiots watch you? I've wanted to rescue you for a long time, but I waited five or six days before finding the opportunity. I really don't know if you're really stupid or just pretending to be stupid."
When he mentioned this, Tang Chen suddenly realized that she had really thought that group of people were just here to mess around, but she didn't expect that they were actually talented actors. "Oh my god, why didn't I think of this?"
Jiang Wangyue always felt that time was running out. Seeing that Tang Chen's face looked much better than before, she urged him, "Get ready to ride when you've rested enough. We still have a long way to go."
Tang Chen touched his stomach, glanced at the bundle on the horse's back and asked, "Ah, aren't you going to eat anymore?"
Jiang Wangyue had to see her off and then rush back to pick her up. It was just lunch, so he could just eat a few bites while riding. "Save time, you won't starve to death if you skip a meal."
That being said, in the past, she wouldn't mind skipping a meal, let alone a whole day, but things are different now: "...Brother Jiang, there's something I'm not sure if I should tell you or not."
Jiang Wangyue said, "If you have something to say, please say it quickly."
Tang Chen held the kettle and looked at him pitifully, "I'm pregnant, can you take it easy?"
"Trouble," Jiang Wangyue said. Just as she was about to reach out to pull Tang Chen, she suddenly pulled her hand back, almost falling over. "Wait, what did you say?"
Tang Chen smiled helplessly, then gently lifted up her loose coat, revealing her round belly that was visible to the naked eye: "...I'm a pregnant woman, do you understand?"
Jiang Wangyue quickly dismounted and pulled Tang Chen aside to sit down. He then took out a cloth bag from his bag and filled it with hay as a cushion while complaining, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tang Chen explained: "I have kept this secret from the whole world, how dare I tell anyone else!"
Thinking of Qingliang Valley's current situation, it was understandable that Tang Chen had kept it a secret from him. "...Forget it. There's a small town not far from here. Let's go there and buy a carriage. The roads ahead are all mountainous. What can we do?"
Tang Chen continued to drink water while stretching out her two-meter-long legs to show that they were real legs, not just for show. "Don't bother with that. Just climb up. I'm pregnant, not a cripple."
When his beautiful lady got pregnant before, Tang Chen hadn't been so indifferent; in the end, he was already scared. It would have been fine if it was his own family, but why did he have to deal with someone else's family? "You decide for yourself. Write me a life and death agreement later. I won't be responsible if anything happens."
Tang Chen happily agreed: "Okay, no problem at all, sir!"
After buying a carriage in town and some dry food and clothes, the trip back and forth only took two more days. When Jiang Wangyue drove the carriage to take Tang Chen to his door, the two of them moved the carriage to the side of the road and prepared to walk over.
After a few steps, the boundary marker of Bugui Peak appeared before them like an icicle emitting a cold aura. Tang Chen's footsteps also stopped here: "......!"
Although her memory was not very good and she did not recognize the way, she was very familiar with this place. Wasn't this the place where the two brothers from the Song family took her to "deliver the goods"?
This is the Peak of No Return. Could it be that when Jiang Wangjiu said "go home", he meant to send her back to her hometown? I can't see it, I can't see it, what a beast in human form!
"Why don't you leave?"
Jiang Wangjiu turned around and saw that Tang Chen's expression suddenly became alert. Thinking that she had discovered something, he quickly stopped and looked around.
Seeing him approaching, Tang Chen was very cautious. He took out the rolling pin from his bag and stepped back a few steps: "Who are you?"
Jiang Wangyue didn't know what was wrong with this man. He acted exactly the same as when they first met: "I'm just a hero. Otherwise, who do you think I am?"
Tang Chen said with a look of "you are a big liar" on his face: "Back then, the Song brothers brought me here and took the jewelry away. Now that I think about it, the clothes and appearance of that group of people at that time were exactly the same as when I first saw your true face in Mount Lu!"
When she was rescued, she was so carried away that she forgot to ask about the relationship between the Song brothers and him. Now it seems that she is really a fish on the chopping board.
Jiang Wangyue frowned slightly. Could it be that this man had lost his memory? "Didn't I tell you that the Song brothers are dead?"
Tang Chen said categorically: "Not at all, you liar!"
Jiang Wangyue realized she wouldn't be able to escape anytime soon, so she casually dropped the bag from her shoulder and sat down on it. She held her forehead and said, "...It's my fault for not explaining it clearly, but isn't it a bit slow for you to realize it now? If I were really your captor, why would I have gone to so much trouble to rescue you?"
Although what he said made some sense, what if they were in cahoots and were using illogical methods to deceive her? "How would I know!"
"So do you want to hear my explanation now?"
Tang Chen pointed a rolling pin at Jiang Wangyue and said confidently, "I'm pregnant and can't run, so I have no choice but to listen. But you must stay five feet away from me. If you do anything inappropriate, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide immediately. No one can take advantage. It's fair."
Jiang Wangyue scratched her head and cheek uncomfortably, saying, "You're such a stubborn person! If Wanying wasn't the only daughter in our Jiang family, I'd really doubt if you were her twin sister. You have exactly the same bad temper."
Tang Chen urged angrily, "Stop talking so much nonsense. Hurry up, it's going to be dark soon."
It wasn't until dark and the bonfire was lit that Jiang Wangyue leaned against the boundary marker and told Tang Chen all the details he knew. It wasn't enough to just talk, he also produced various evidences to prove the truth of his words. Only then did Tang Chen put down the rolling pin he had been holding tightly in his hand and said, "You mean, someone kidnapped me in the name of Bugui Peak?"
