Luo Xue suddenly looked up at her.
"Sister, you went to Mount Wutai because Leng Ming is there, right?"
This sentence made Luo Lan and Xiao Ling stunned for a moment. After they looked at each other, Luo Lan hurriedly asked:
"How do you know?"
Luo Xue shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"Yesterday, before she left, Chang left me a message. She said she was going to Mount Wutai and Leng Ming was there. She also asked me to go and persuade him."
Hearing this, Xiaoling waved her arms in anger.
"This Chang is really haunting me. She really doesn't want you to be happy!"
Luo Xue smiled indifferently.
"Mom, she doesn't want me to be happy, but I am very happy. She should be the one who is unhappy. She forced her own son to become a monk, and she still wants me to persuade him? She is simply dreaming. Besides, what does it have to do with me whether he becomes a monk or not?"
Seeing her pretending to be righteous, Luo Lan sighed worriedly.
"Xue, do you still want to go to Mount Wutai with me?"
"Of course I have to go. You and the Emperor are praying for the people of Mianzhou, and I'm going to pray for my mother, so why shouldn't I go?"
Her carefree attitude made Luo Lan feel distressed.
When she mentioned Leng Ming, her eyes were dazed for a moment, which was enough to show that she had not given up on Leng Ming, she was just holding her breath.
She smiled and nodded.
"You have such an idea. Mother and I are happy for you. It's settled then. Our trip to Mount Wutai has nothing to do with Leng Ming. It's purely for praying and self-cultivation."
"Okay, I'll take care of the business matters tomorrow, and I'll accompany you to Mount Wutai for a few days. I heard the scenery there is beautiful, and the mountains are covered with early spring green, which will definitely be refreshing."
Luo Lan could see that the relaxed expression on her face was not enough to hide her inner panic.
However, as long as she has feelings for Leng Ming, perhaps something can change.
…
As the sky gradually darkened, the carriage that Chang rented stopped before reaching the foot of Mount Wutai.
She lifted the curtain door and asked in confusion:
"Horseman, why don't you leave?"
The groom sat at the helm, whistling and shaking his head.
"The horse is tired and doesn't want to go any further."
Upon hearing this, Chang immediately became anxious. It was already dark. If he didn't leave at this time, what if he encountered bandits in this remote place?
Thinking of this, she scolded angrily,
"Are you tired after just a day's walk? Is your horse made of paper? I'm telling you, if you don't send it to the destination quickly, I won't give you a penny."
The coachman was not in a hurry. He jumped off the carriage, turned around, squinted his eyes at Chang, and pointed at the ground.
"Come on, get off the bus quickly. You won't give me a penny? Even if you give it to me, I still don't want it."
Chang clutched the carport tightly, staring at him with vicious eyes.
"You brought me here? You asked me to get off the car? Are you a bandit who's after money and life? Do you believe I'll report it to the police?"
"Go and report it, you have to report it now, you old woman, you have been nagging me since we left the city, I am earning this little money from you, your ears are almost callused. Now I don't want the fare anymore, you get off the car quickly and go wherever you want."
This is a deserted suburb. Not only is it pitch black all around, but the howling of wild beasts can be heard from time to time.
Not to mention it was night, even during the day, she wouldn't dare walk alone.
Looking at the strange face in front of her glaring at her, she suddenly felt a little scared. She was just a weak woman, and facing such a burly man, it was better not to conflict with him.
Thinking of this, her tone softened immediately.
"Well, big brother, if the horse is tired, let it rest for a while. We can get on with our journey after a short rest, okay?"
"No, I don't want to pull you down anymore. Get down quickly, or I'll take over."
Seeing the driver roll up his sleeves, Chang was frightened and turned pale. She waved her hands immediately.
"No, no, no, brother, you are in this business, you can't ruin your business, otherwise, I will give you more silver, an extra five taels of silver, how about it?"
The driver blinked and then raised a finger.
Chang looked at him happily.
"Big brother is really particular, then add one or two!"
Just as she was feeling proud for a moment, the driver roared, "I told you to add a hundred taels."
One hundred taels?
Chang quickly covered her bag with her hands, staring and shaking her head.
"That won't do. I don't have much silver on me. Besides, I have other important uses for the silver I have. I can only give you ten taels at most."
The driver waved his hand at her impatiently.
"Get out of the car now. I won't take you anymore. Get out of the car now."
"I won't get off. You have to take me somewhere."
"I told you to get out of the car."
The driver suddenly shouted, and Chang was so scared that her body trembled.
She had more than two hundred taels of silver in her pocket and had originally planned to use the silver to find Ming'er. If she got off the car here and encountered bandits, not only would her silver be robbed, but she might not even survive.
Thinking of this, she straightened her neck and said, "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels. You have to promise to send it to me as soon as possible."
Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly came over and looked at her with a ferocious expression.
"So straightforward? Then I have another request. Can you agree to it?"
Looking at the man's wretched face, Chang looked at him with some fear.
"Do you know who I am? I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I tell you. If you know what's good for you, hurry up and get on with your life. Don't make me angry."
