Chapter 435 Meeting
An aunt covered her mouth, but it was too late.
Anyone with children at home would be horrified when seeing this scene.
How could such a small child, trampled by a horse, be safe? This is the voice of countless people.
Everyone's heart was in their throat.
The man on the horse was still urging them on and waving his whip, not caring at all that a little girl was about to be trampled under the horse's hooves. He even revealed a cruel and bloodthirsty smile when he saw that she was about to be drowned under the horse's hooves.
"Hey, another untouchable."
These were his last words in this world. A flash of cold light passed by, so fast it was almost invisible. By the time anyone reacted, a sword had been thrust into the horse's head. The horse roared in pain, then paused, its hooves raised high, letting out a final, remnant cry.
"hiss-----"
"Ahhhhhhh, help me, save me, I am the son of the Wang family, please save me, I have money at home, ahhhhhhhhh."
His cry for help did not elicit any response from anyone. Everyone just looked at the man riding the horse indifferently, and fell down with the horse.
God does not favor fools, and the horse fell down and crushed him.
After falling and being pinned down again, the man spat out a mouthful and tilted his head. It was unclear whether he was dead or not.
"Go, bring the child out and help her find her parents."
Not far away, Pei Ji whispered instructions, then disappeared into the darkness with his group and rushed towards the palace.
Tonight is the final battle.
The winner and the loser will be decided today.
News arrived from the Zheng family, and they also sent a lot of food and vegetables.
Zheng Ci looked at the letter from her grandmother. "Grandma said that the whole family is doing well. They are staying indoors, there is enough food at home, and there are servants to guard the house. Everything is fine."
Qiao Xianglan nodded, "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
In this chaotic world, everyone has one and only wish: to stay alive.
"It will be over soon, right? This has been going on for almost a month."
“Almost.”
Qiao Xianglan: "It looks like we can have a peaceful and stable New Year this year."
In order to cheer her up, Zheng Ci changed the subject, "During the New Year, why not invite the uncles and aunts from the Qiao family to join in the fun."
When talking about the Qiao family, Qiao Xianglan had a smile on her face. Her family was getting better and better, and her son and daughter were both doing well. She was very happy.
"Good. If your grandparents were still alive, they would definitely be very happy. Your grandfather's greatest wish was to become a royal merchant, and your uncles actually achieved it. Now the Qiao family's business firm is very famous."
Since becoming the imperial merchant, the Qiao family has been in the hands of three uncles, and the business has begun to expand rapidly.
It is not limited to cloth shops, writing brushes, inkstones, bookstores, restaurants and diners.
The Qiao family is like a signboard. In addition, they are honest and sell products at a price that satisfies your budget. Therefore, they quickly became famous.
The several percent profit that the Qiao family had promised had expanded Zheng Ci's private warehouse many times over the years.
She is now considered a wealthy woman.
"What about you, Mom? Is there anything you want to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
Qiao Xianglan was stunned. She had never thought about this question. She would just stay at home as a girl, find a good family to marry when she was old enough, and then take care of her husband and children.
That's how life is.
"Mom, don't you have anything you want to do? Like start a business, or go out and see the world."
"There's nothing I want to do. I just hope you're all well."
"Mom." Zheng Ci took her hand and said, "Do you have anything you want to do? We are all grown up now. If you want to do something, just go for it."
This was the first time that Qiao Xianglan thought so seriously about a wish that did not include others.
She was stunned for a few seconds and uttered a few words, "If I were to say what I want to do, it's to go out and see the beautiful mountains, rivers, and scenery. I rarely went out when I was still unmarried, and now that I'm married, I stay in the backyard all day. Mother has hardly seen the beautiful scenery outside."
Zheng Ci encouraged with a smile, "Since mother wants to go out, why not discuss it with father and wait until things calm down and find a day to go out for a walk."
Qiao Xianglan suddenly seemed to have expectations, different from the hopes for her children to be well and for a large family with children and grandchildren. It was a wish that belonged to her alone.
This feeling is so wonderful, as if there are more different choices in life.
It's not a one-way street.
"Madam, madam, the master is here. The master is here to pick you up." Wanxiang pushed the door open and said excitedly.
"Where is he?" Zheng Ci dropped the book in her hand and didn't have time to put on her shoes before a tall figure stood at the door. The figure walked straight towards her, and then, regardless of other people's gazes, hugged Zheng Ci directly.
The two hugged each other tightly, and Zheng Ci could smell the fresh scent on him.
"Did you wash here?" Zheng Ci raised her eyes, her eyes red.
It goes without saying what was washed.
In wars, people die, and when people walk out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, blood flows like a river. The fact that Pei Ji can stand here means that the emperor's people have succeeded.
The prince and the imperial concubine lost.
"Yeah, I've washed it." Pei Ji kissed her thick hair. "I don't want you to smell that disgusting smell. I miss you, Zheng Ci, I miss you so much."
He hugged her tightly, his arms holding her whole body to his chest, and she could even hear the steady heartbeat.
"I miss you, too. I think about you every day and night, what you're doing, whether you're safe, and whether you're injured. Hu Zi misses you too. Hu Zi calls me daddy, and he remembers you and misses you too."
Zheng Ci's voice choked as she spoke.
Her sister-in-law and mother were afraid, worried about her brother and father. She was also afraid, but in order not to worry others, she could only avoid her own sadness and pessimism and tried her best not to think about it.
At this moment, she finally relaxed, letting her emotions vent and looking for a way out.
"I'm fine. I'm injured, but it's not serious."
"Where!" Zheng Ci suddenly raised her eyes, a look of heartache on her face.
"I'll let you see it tonight..."
"I want to see it now."
"Are you sure?" Pei Ji's eyes were dim and his voice was hoarse.
Zheng Ci keenly sensed something was wrong, as if the injury was not located in a very elegant position.
"Forget it, forget it... Let's watch it tonight." She said with little confidence.
His voice was hesitant like a guilty child.
Pei Ji laughed, lowered his head suddenly, and then found her lips. The soft and sweet touch swept over their bodies.
At this moment, the souls of both of them were trembling.
Zheng Ci allowed himself to be immersed in the vortex created by Pei Ji, gradually falling and being drawn into it and becoming a part of the vortex.
If Pei Ji was a whirlpool or a swamp, she would sink into it willingly.
The two of them were immersed in it, and the people around them retreated unconsciously, leaving only the sound of the rain outside.
After a long time, he let go and looked at Zheng Ci with her eyes closed, two lines of tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
