What does this have to do with anything?
Does she look that unchaste?
Forehead.
It seems there really is.
"I……"
She opened her mouth to explain, but didn't know how to begin, so she could only look to Yu Mingxiang for help.
Their eyes met.
Yu Mingxiang understood and immediately explained the origins of these people to her mother-in-law.
Grandma Gu: "!!!"
After learning who these people were, he regretted it so much that he slapped his thigh.
"Hey! What a mess this is!"
The old lady looked at Mei Fang apologetically and said, "I was just a little confused when I saw so many men suddenly appearing in the house, and I almost made a mistake!"
"Your aunt has misunderstood you. I'm sorry, Mei girl, please don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Gu was about to bow to Mei Fang to apologize.
Mei Fang dared not accept such a courtesy and quickly helped her up, saying, "I'm staying at your house, Auntie. I'm so grateful for your concern. It's nothing, Auntie, please don't do this!"
As she spoke, Mei Fang changed the subject and turned to look at the twelve young and strong men.
"My people are alright."
Her beautiful face was sharp, and her voice was chilling as she said, "You've all been through thick and thin with me. I only have one thing to say: Sister Yu has been incredibly kind to me, and I treat her just like I treat myself!"
As she spoke, Mei Fang turned to look at the other six people, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, and said, "You don't need me to remind you."
"You were ordered to protect Sister Yu. You must know better than I do what Sister Yu means to the Xia Kingdom!"
"Protect her up the mountain, and bring her, Old Gu, and Yuan Tiansuo back safely!"
"I'm here, waiting for you!"
The sound falls.
Mei Fang immediately stepped aside.
Seeing this, Yu Mingxiang stepped forward and looked at them, saying, "Then please bear with us for the rest of the journey. It's getting late, so why don't we... set off now?"
Upon hearing this, the group of twelve exclaimed, "!!!"
Stand at attention immediately.
"As Madam Yu commands."
The sound falls.
The twelve people immediately set about on their own.
The two climbed over the wall and left the courtyard ahead of time to scout ahead. They went to the front yard to get the luggage and dry food that Old Madam Gu had prepared. The rest of the people nodded to Yu Mingxiang and said, "To prevent causing a disturbance among the villagers, Madam Yu, please leave the courtyard on your own and walk up the mountain path. We will protect your safety in secret. Once you are out of sight of the village, we will show ourselves."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang secretly praised their thoughtfulness.
Seeing her nod, the group nimbly climbed over the wall and left the courtyard. Yu Mingxiang, escorted by Mei Fang and Old Lady Gu, arrived at the narrow mountain path at the top of the village.
Seeing the guards hidden behind the big tree in the distance nod to them, Mei Fang and Grandma Gu reluctantly waved goodbye to Yu Mingxiang.
Yu Mingxiang walked along the mountain path for a while and soon met up with the guards.
The group headed up the mountain.
After walking for about half an hour, Yu Mingxiang glanced at the sun and stopped.
"I can't walk anymore."
She stroked her lower abdomen and said, "Could someone carry me on their back?"
The twelve guards exchanged glances, and immediately half of them stepped forward.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
After glancing at their clothes and confirming that they were all people sent down from above, he raised an eyebrow and climbed onto the back of the person closest to him.
It's not that she's being dramatic.
It's really...
She was pregnant and didn't dare to take any risks.
The six people sent by Mei Fang looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the mainlanders carrying Yu Mingxiang and walking briskly through the woods. During a break, one of them mustered up his courage and stepped forward, speaking in a Hong Kong accent: "Madam Yu, please don't misunderstand. It's not that we don't want to carry you, it's just that... we are outsiders after all, and we're afraid you'll overthink it."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang chuckled and said, "I didn't think much of it."
"What do you mean by outsiders? We'll be family sooner or later!"
As she spoke, Yu Mingxiang took out her water pouch and threw it at the man.
"My water."
She smiled and said, "You've been guarding my house every day, you should know your purpose. Share the drink, and we'll continue on our way later!"
