Chapter 142 The pregnant belly doesn't look like a three-month pregnancy.
The team continued its journey.
The Xiao family bought a carriage from a car dealership. The carriage could only seat a maximum of six adults. Two children were equivalent to one adult, leaving one adult and one child extra.
Xiao Xuance was in charge of driving the carriage. Another person could sit on the outer carriage shaft, but too many people and horses would be exhausted.
Xiao Xuanwu voluntarily got out of the car and walked.
Xiao Mingshu felt embarrassed to sit down, so she jumped down as well.
Ms. Yang felt sorry for her daughter, "Shu'er, get in the car. You're so thin, you won't take up much space or be heavy."
“Mother, I’m going with my fifth brother. You don’t need to worry about me. If I can’t walk anymore, I can get in the carriage and sit for a while.”
Yang wanted to persuade her again.
Suddenly a weak voice broke in, "Mother, Mother, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was so wrong before, please forgive me just this once, I'm so sorry to you, so sorry to everyone, my eyes were blinded, I only realized yesterday that sleep is truly the best thing for me, cough cough cough..."
With that, Xiao Xiuning knelt down and kowtowed, “Mother, I was wrong. I have failed you in your years of careful guidance. Third brother and sister-in-law, I am sorry. The eldest brother is like a father. Now that Father and my two older brothers are gone, I should have obeyed your words, Third Brother. I should not have disobeyed you, and I should not have opposed you at every turn. I am sorry! Please forgive me…”
Every time he said "I was wrong," he would kowtow once, until his head was bleeding.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
Mrs. Yang was heartbroken. After all, she was her daughter whom she had raised for more than ten years. Even if you raised a dog, you would still have feelings for it.
She jumped off the carriage and helped her up, preventing her from falling. "Ning'er, you're still sick. It's cooler on the ground."
Xiao Xiuning threw herself into his arms and sobbed, "Waaah, Mother, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. Last night, I was kicked down the hillside. I thought I was going to die. When the things that happened before came to mind, I realized how good you have been to me. You have always been tolerant and always indulged me. You are my real family."
As he spoke, he continued to kowtow.
Yang held her shoulders and covered her red, swollen, and bruised forehead with a handkerchief. "Don't kowtow anymore, Mother. I forgive you."
"Mother, sob sob sob..."
Xie Wanyun and Song Mingyan, who were in the carriage, were also moved by this scene, realizing that it is of utmost importance to correct one's mistakes.
Yun Zhaoxue lifted Xian'er off her lap; there was another spot over there.
She lifted the curtain and said to Xiao Mingshu, "Shu'er, I noticed you've been clutching your stomach. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh, I see. It must be because you've been starving for over ten years and suddenly ate too much, causing your stomach to hurt. Hurry up and get in the carriage to rest."
Xiao Mingshu was completely bewildered, "I..."
Yun Zhaoxue winked at her.
She saw that there was only one seat left in the carriage and immediately understood. "Oh, I'm coming right now."
She got into the carriage, but there was no room left.
The guards counted that everyone was present and told them to pack up and prepare to depart.
When Yang held Xiao Xiuning, she noticed that he was still very hot and that walking would not help his recovery, so she gave her seat to him.
When they lifted the curtain, they found there was no room left in the carriage.
“This…” She looked at Xiao Xiuning with guilt.
Xiao Mingshu rested her head on Yun Zhaoxue's shoulder with her eyes closed.
Yun Zhaoxue said, "Mother, I ate too much and have an upset stomach, so I can't walk. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Xiao Xiuning said, "Mother, it's alright, I can walk."
Yang helped her follow behind the carriage, and the two walked slower and slower until they almost fell behind the group.
The escort gave him several verbal warnings.
Xiao Xuanwu couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he took the initiative to walk to the back of the group to help Yang Shi support Xiao Xiuning.
Others without carriages envied those who could ride in them and longed for their carriages, just like the Third Prince's two carriages, which eventually fell apart as they went along.
Someone, unable to contain their anger, secretly kicked a stone under the wheel.
Xiao Xuance adjusted the direction of the car and avoided it.
Yun Zhaoxue, who was in the carriage, ate a peach, lifted the curtain, and spat the pit towards her forehead, causing a large bump.
The man clutched his forehead, his face contorted in pain. "Ouch, that hurts so much!"
His family member walking beside him pulled his arm and pulled him back: "Shen Yan said a few words and they cut out his tongue. They're ruthless killers. Why did you provoke them? Don't you want to die?"
The man covered his forehead, feeling a wave of lingering fear.
Xiao Mingshu did not see Yang Shi and the others.
"Mother, they haven't come up yet. They might have fallen behind in the line. Why don't I get off the bus and let them come up and sit down?"
She took Yang's place, and since the other party was her mother, an elder she respected, she felt very guilty.
Yun Zhaoxue was peeling an orange. She peeled another one, broke it in half, and handed it to her. "You don't need to get down. Just sit still. There are guards behind you. They have to keep going even if they can't walk. They won't get lost. Don't worry."
Why not share it with others? Because they think it's too sour and they can't get used to it.
Only Xiao Mingshu agreed, saying, "Oh, okay."
She listens to her third sister-in-law.
At the time, Xiao Xiuning felt very uncomfortable when her mother wanted her to ride in a carriage.
Fortunately, my third sister-in-law had the foresight to let her get a seat on the carriage.
"Don't overthink it. Instead, let's think about what to eat later."
"What does Third Sister-in-law like to eat? I'll make it for you."
Her third sister-in-law was so good to her, and she had no way to repay her except with her excellent cooking skills.
Yun Zhaoxue thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything specific I want to eat, but I'm thinking of something spicy."
Xiao Mingshu listed a few dishes she could cook: "Spicy chicken, stir-fried beef with green peppers, braised fish, braised rabbit head, braised lion's head meatballs..."
"Braised fish or grilled fish is fine, but the one at the inn isn't very good today, the taste is a bit off, so I'll have to make it myself."
"Grilled fish? Is it skewered and grilled over a fire?"
what to do?
That's something she's not good at.
"It wasn't grilled directly. It was similar to the method of braising fish. On the first day of our exile, the second and third families snatched our fish, and that was grilled fish."
"Oh, I remember now. If there's anything you want to eat, Third Sister-in-law, I'll cook it for you. If there's anything I don't know how to do, I'll try my best to learn."
Yun Zhaoxue smiled and said, "Shu'er is so good. From now on, you'll be my little sister. I'll protect you, and no one will dare to bully you."
Xie Wanyun and Song Mingyan across from her kept staring at her stomach.
The prison uniform was loose and completely covered her pregnant belly, so you couldn't tell that her belly was protruding. Only now, sitting face to face, could you really see that her pregnant belly didn't look like that of someone who was two or three months pregnant.
"Third sister-in-law, your belly doesn't look like you're three months pregnant, it looks more like you're four or five months pregnant."
Yun Zhaoxue's beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously. "What do you mean by that, sister-in-law?"
Is it because they suspect she's cheating on them?
Before the original data could even cheat, she transmigrated into the original owner's body.
The child is Xiao Xuance's offspring.
Xie Wanyun was startled and stood up from the carriage, accidentally bumping her head. "Bang!"
"Hiss~"
Ouch, that hurts so much!
He sat down again, clutching his head, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Third sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."
