Chapter 224: Minding Other People's Business >

ity twice, and the taste is very strange. 。"Well, why are they killing pigs at home again It's not even a holiday or anything," Liu Ziheng and Mr. Wen asked each other while eating, inquiring about vi...The young man didn't come down or say anything idle. With a few simple gestures, he had his soldiers quickly bring everyone's luggage up.

All the women, even Li Lao Si and others, were helped onto horseback and rode together with the soldiers.

The flower, as if intentionally or unintentionally, approached the Marquis of Xinting. She wished to be with him, but a cavalryman intercepted her, scooped her up, and hurled her behind him.

The arrival of the crowd was impressive, and they moved quickly and decisively. Within a short time, less than a tea break, the foot of the mountain was empty.

Hua Ru Yue sat behind the soldier, she didn't want to cling tightly to the soldier in front of her, but her position had no saddle. Without clinging tightly, she would fall down, which made her frown and grit her teeth secretly.

Though it was only a few miles, riding with all speed, they arrived at the dock in the blink of an eye.

Several large ships were already waiting by the riverbank. The crowd dismounted and began boarding the boats.

The women, perhaps feeling safe, momentarily grew weak in their legs and didn't want to move.

Huo R Yue just fell off her horse while riding, and her hairpin is now missing. She also lost one of her shoes, and she's all disheveled and looking quite distressed right now.

They still wanted to sit down and rest, but the soldiers shouted, "Hurry up and get on board! Do you want to die Why bother rescuing you back Don't you know that the enemy army has already advanced" Hurry up and leave!"

The women, hearing this, were frightened and stood up in support of each other, but couldn't help but complain.

"What's so aggressive for Someone is already exhausted, helping them out won't kill you."

"Well, my legs are weak, please quickly carry me."

This coquettishness and that petulance, more than twenty women together are truly more chaotic than a flock of ducks.

The twenty soldiers who had followed up the mountain were now hiding far away, wishing they had nothing to do with these troublesome women.

A squad of soldiers were under the command of a woman with a dark face and a harsh demeanor. She didn't hesitate to whip them without any warning.

"Get on board immediately! If you dare say another word, I'll throw you overboard! If you fall into the hands of the barbarians, you'll regret it!"

Huashu Yue looked around but couldn't see Xintighou anywhere. She became anxious and urged everyone, “Get on the boat. We’ll talk about it when we reach Jiangnan.”

The women then boarded the ship and immediately collapsed onto the deck, refusing to move another inch.

On the neighboring boat, Master Ye was talking to Old Li Four. "You've been delayed for too long this time. Your stepmother is worried and came with your second brother to pick you up. They just arrived at noon, and they brought Fu Niu with them."

Li Lao Si's heart pounded with anxiety, afraid of being scolded. He quickly said, "I didn't expect this trip to take so long. Your Lordship has to speak up for me, otherwise my mother will definitely not let me out again."

Young Master Ye chuckled upon hearing this, "I can't help you with that, Auntie’s nagging is enough to make me retreat. You better figure it out yourself."

Jia Yi and Liu Yang were originally very tired, but at this moment they also became happy. They took turns checking the cabin and touching Ye Gongzi's big black horse.

And Hua Ru Yue on the neighboring boat finally discovered them. Seeing Li Laosi and Ye Gongzi chatting and laughing like this, she suddenly regretted it deeply.

I originally thought that this Li Lao Si was just the steward of the Houye's manor, but looking at his appearance, I'm afraid we all got it wrong.

This looks very familiar and close!

Had she known this beforehand, she would have lowered her stance along the way, gathered more information, and made more connections.

Thinking about this, she resented her subordinates again. None of them were competent and none of them managed to seduce Old Li Four along the way.

But now it's too late to say anything, I can only go to Jiangnan slowly and plot.

After less than two quarters of an hour, the boat arrived at the opposite bank pier. Immediately someone came to greet them and help lead the horse and unload their belongings.

Jiayin hugged her second uncle's neck, her little feet stepping on his palms, trying to climb up to see farther.

Finally seeing her father's figure, she shouted loudly, "Father, Father!"

Li Laosi vaguely heard the noise. He just glanced at it, and he jumped onto the dock and ran over quickly.

"Mother! Second Brother! Funiu!"

Just as the result was about to reach him, he was pulled by his mother's arm.

Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she took off her cloth shoes and slapped her son's back relentlessly.

Originally, his son would be home in just two or three days after going out, but this time he waited for almost a month.

This past month, the family has been unable to eat or sleep, worrying until their hair is turning white.

Mrs. Cui sent someone on a fast horse to inquire three times, but she couldn't bear it any longer so she came to look for him with her son and granddaughter.

The son actually grinned, showing a big white tooth, and even had the face to laugh!

How could she not be angry!

When Jiayin saw her father, he was just a bit thinner and blacker, but unharmed. She felt relieved and giggled as she watched her grandmother waving the shoe soles, secretly clapping her hands in applause from time to time.

Li Laoer found it amusing. He patted his little niece and then asked the two men huddled beside him, Jia Yi and Liu Yang, "How are you guys Are you hurt"

"No, no!" Jia Yi and Liu Yang shook their heads quickly, backing away two steps, afraid they might get kicked too.

At this time, Hua Ru Yue and others also disembarked. Seeing the commotion on Li family's side, Hua Ru Yue pushed a woman.

The woman tidied her hair, hurried forward, and blocked Li Lao Si's path. She looked anxiously at Li Laotai and cried out, "Who are you Why did you beat my brother Li Si Li Si is our benefactor, if you want to beat him, beat me first!"

Old Mrs. Li wouldn't dare to hit her son, the sound was loud, but it didn't hurt at all when it landed on him. It was more like hitting the shoes to knock off the dust.

But just as she was about to put the shoe sole away, she was suddenly interrupted and froze, holding the shoe sole in her hand in surprise.

Who is this woman Why is she protecting the fourth one

Jia Yin's eyes widened even further.

What on earth has happened this month

Dad, did you cheat Did you fool around with someone else!

Li Laoer thought of his younger siblings at home. He had to work in the valley and also worry about his husband. These days, he had lost a lot of weight.

Unexpectedly, the younger brother had actually attracted other women outside. He was also angry and glared, asking, "Fourth Brother! What's going on Did you do something wrong outside"

Li Lao Si was even more dumbfounded.

Although this woman had been following him closely since he left the mountain, he hadn't said a superfluous word to her or given her an extra glance.

At this moment, the woman suddenly came closer, acting very friendly. What was going on

He instinctively grabbed the woman and threw her aside, then grabbed his mother's shoe and waved it at himself, "Mom, keep hitting, keep hitting! I don't know this person!"

Li Laotai saw her son's face turn red with worry, so she put on her cloth shoes and glared fiercely at him, "Useless thing, wait until we get home, I'll deal with you."

The woman fell to the side, tears streaming down her face from the pain. Before she could even speak, Jia Yin had already burst into tears.

"Father, boo hoo, don't leave me and mother, boo hoo, you are bad, a bad person!"

Old Li saw his daughter's chubby little finger pointing at him, crying with tears like broken beads, and he almost went crazy with heartache. He hugged his daughter and soothed her, calming her down.

"Father was wrong, father was wrong, Fu Niu don't cry, Father didn't abandon you and your mother, really, Father was wrong!"

Unfortunately, Jia Yin refused to listen. She tightly hugged her father's neck and continued to cry loudly.o for one"Unfortunately, Old Master Liu refused to budge, waving his hand repeatedly. “Impossible, nothing can be exchanged. My Zhiheng is a failure; he failed the imperial examinations, but now that...
