The road down the mountain was very rugged, but the Grand Mistress seemed to be throwing a tantrum. She tiptoed as she walked and almost fell several times, but she didn't say a word. Lin Wanrong saw that she didn't even look at him and thought, "This girl is starting to play arrogant again. She's really not an ordinary kind of stubbornness."
When the two of them came down the mountain, they saw that all the soldiers had already left. It was so quiet that not even a bird's shadow could be seen.
Lin Wanrong was completely clueless here. He could only distinguish between north, south, east, and west. The Grand Mistress saw him standing on the main road and looking around like a silly goose. She couldn't help but let out a puff and quickly covered her mouth. She thought, "Who told you to provoke me?"
Lin Wanrong saw that her expression was calm and knew that she must know this place. He smiled bitterly and said, "My Grand Mistress, just say something."
The Grand Mistress snorted lightly and a proud smile appeared on her face. She said coquettishly, "This is Dantu County."
This Dantu County was in the Anwei Province. It was a few hundred miles away from Jinling. Those thieves had really put in a lot of effort. When the Grand Mistress was doing business, she had been to Dantu County several times. Naturally, she knew the way.
The two of them rested for a while in town, ate breakfast, changed their clothes, and took a bath. Then, they hired a carriage and went straight to Jinling. Fortunately, Lin Wanrong had brought some silver with him to be able to hire this carriage. Xiao Yuruo was the Grand Mistress. She didn't have the habit of bringing silver with her, but she did bring a lot of rouge and face powder. Women, ah, are all like this. Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart.
The carriage continued its journey to the north. Grand Mistress was silent in the carriage, but Lin Wanrong yawned. He hadn't slept the whole night with Xiao Qingxuan. He was very tired now. He leaned against the carriage and was about to fall asleep when he heard the Grand Mistress say, "Lin San, where is Miss Xiao from?"
Lin Wanrong replied, "Probably from the capital." Xiao Qingxuan did not talk about her background, and Lin Wanrong respected her, so naturally he would not ask.
Xiao Yuruo snorted and rolled her eyes at him. "She is extremely beautiful. I don't know why such a fairy-like person would fall for you. You must have used some despicable trick to get it. "
Lin Wanrong felt ashamed in his heart. Without the help of the aphrodisiac, it would be hard to say what would happen between him and Xiao Qingxuan. However, this Grand Mistress seemed to look down on him too much. Lin Wanrong angrily said, "She and I are in love with each other. How can it be as dirty as you say?"
Xiao Yuruo snorted and did not speak. Lin Wanrong found the bag he carried with him. He held the flintlock in his hand and played with it for a while.
In this era, a gun was a rare thing, especially this kind of double-barreled gun. The craftsmanship was very high. It was said that Old New York specially brought it from the West for Xiao Qingxuan. In the whole of China, it was the only one. From the quality and feel of this gun, it must be an extremely valuable thing in the West, let alone in China. Lin Wanrong was probably the only person in China who owned a gun.
Thinking of Xiao Qingxuan, Lin Wanrong's heart warmed. He had a very special feeling for this girl. He felt like a confidante. She understood Lin Wanrong very well. Things like the aphrodisiac and the gun were the most suitable treasures for him. Thinking of this, he was somewhat grateful to Tao Dongcheng. If it wasn't for his tricks, according to Xiao Qingxuan's character, the two of them would not have this opportunity in their lives.
He had forty to fifty percent of Xiao Qingxuan's martial arts and got the gun from her, but he did not feel that he was living off a woman.
Living off a woman? Damn, a girl like Xiao Qingxuan, if I didn't rely on my manly charm, how could I conquer her? I conquered her psychologically and physically. I relied on my strength. You said I'm living off a woman. If you have the ability, go and conquer one for me. Damn, it's pure jealousy.
"Lin San, how did that Tao Dongcheng find soldiers to save us?" Grand Mistress suddenly said after thinking.
Save us? Hehe, it sounds nice. He asked in return, "Grand Mistress, do you think he really came to save us? Although his father is a Suzhou weaver, do you think he could move the Jiangsu Commandant's troops to save us with just the Suzhou weaver? "
Xiao Yuruo nodded and said, "There is something strange about this. Last night when Tao Dongcheng killed his way up the mountain, I didn't see many White Lotus Sect bandits. If they escaped, why did they leave me behind? "
Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. This Lady Xiao didn't fall into Tao Dongcheng's trap, so she could have such a calm mind. If he didn't show up in time last night and Tao Dongcheng got the upper hand, no matter what, Grand Mistress wouldn't be able to analyze the problem so calmly.
"Grand Mistress, think about it. Why were those White Lotus bandits so polite to you? Was it just because they hoped that Madam would bring gold to ransom them? "
This was also what Xiao Yuruo was puzzled about. Lin Wanrong went further and said, "You were in a strange coma yesterday. When you woke up, there were no bandits around you, and Prince Tao arrived in time —"
When it came to serious matters, Xiao Yuruo was a quick-witted person. Shocked, she asked, "You mean — Young Master Tao is in cahoots with them?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."
The Eldest Miss rolled her eyes at him. She was very displeased that he was trying to shirk his responsibility. She pondered for a while, then sighed and said, "If that's really the case, then what reason does Tao Dongcheng have to associate himself with the White Lotus Society? He has identity, status, and a lot of money. "
Lin Wanrong probably knew the reason, but he didn't want to tell her. He shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific reason."
Grand Mistress didn't speak. Lin Wanrong thought of something and said, "Grand Mistress, our Xiao Family has a branch in the capital. How is the business there?"
Xiao Yuruo replied with a straight face, "Of course. The capital is under the feet of the Emperor. There are countless officials and nobles. How can I ignore it? Besides Jiangsu, the capital is the biggest business of my Xiao Family. After this year's business is finished, I will go to the capital next spring to promote it. "
Lin Wanrong was happy. He wanted to go to the capital for Xiao Qingxuan. Now that he heard that Grand Mistress would go to the capital next spring, he naturally raised his hands and feet in approval. Occupying Jinling and the capital, it was really interesting to be a servant of the Xiao Family. He kind of fell in love with this feeling. Playing the pig to eat the tiger was really cool.
"Why are you so happy?" Xiao Yuruo suddenly asked coldly, "Is it because Miss Xiao is in the capital and you want to see her?"
There was nothing to hide about this. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "No delay, no delay."
Xiao Yuruo looked at him and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything. The atmosphere in the carriage was silent for a while.
Lin Wanrong was about to lean against the carriage and sleep, but he saw Lady Xiao's face was red and her expression was coy. She looked out of the window from time to time, as if she had something urgent to do.
Lin Wanrong also pulled the curtain and saw that the carriage was driving next to a dense forest. Thinking about Lady Xiao's coy expression, Lin Wanrong thought in his heart, Is she going to urinate? Since her acupuncture points were hit last night until now, 14 to 16 hours had passed. It was normal for her to have some needs. It was just that Grand Mistress was so thin-skinned that she didn't have the nerve to say such a thing.
"Driver, stop the carriage." Lin Wanrong shouted, "I want to pee."
"Vulgar!" Grand Mistress's face was red as she cursed, but she heard him say to her, "Grand Mistress, the scenery in the forest over there is good. The forest is deep and the leaves are dense. It's very hidden. You should go down and have a look. It won't be too late to rest for a while before leaving."
He winked at Grand Mistress as he spoke, and Grand Mistress's face turned red. She thought, This bad guy actually saw through it. She was a little grateful, but she was thin-skinned. She didn't dare to admit it, so she got out of the carriage without saying a word. She saw Lin San standing next to the carriage and was about to untie his belt. It seemed that he wanted to solve the problem on the spot. She hurriedly shouted, "Lin San, what are you doing?"
Lin Wanrong said, "Didn't I just say it? What do you think I'm going to do?"
Grand Mistress exclaimed, "Shameless." She was so shy that she hurriedly turned around and ran into the forest.
Lin Wanrong shook his head and smiled. This girl, can't she even make a joke?
The driver strangely asked, "Don't you need to pee?"
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "This is saline-alkali land. Even if I pee, it won't get any fertilizer. It won't grow any crops. It's too wasteful. Let's take it home and water the garden." The driver also burst out laughing.
Grand Mistress ran to the edge of the forest, but she was a little scared. This forest was so dense, who knew if there were snakes, insects, rats, and ants. Hearing the laughter of the two people behind her, she turned around and saw that Lin San was not doing anything dirty. He was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed. Young Miss thought, so he deliberately lied to me. This person thought of this idea to scare me, it was too hateful.
She didn't dare to enter the forest alone, so she softly called out, "Lin San, Lin San, come here."
Lin Wanrong thought, this is strange, why did you call me over? Don't tell me the two of you are coming together? He laughed a few times in his heart, walked over and said, "Grand Mistress, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yuruo weakly said, "This forest is too deep, I'm a little scared. You stay here, I'm going to look at the scenery." When she said the last few words, her face was as red as the rosy clouds.
"Understood." Lin Wanrong pretended not to understand her meaning and said, "If there's anything, just call me."
Xiao Yuruo softly made an 'en' sound and walked into the forest. When she walked to a place where Lin San couldn't see her, her heartbeat returned to normal. She thought, this person, other than being bad, everything else is good.
Lin Wanrong waited for a while. When he saw the Grand Mistress came out with a red face, he knew that she was shy, so he pretended not to see it. He looked around and said, "This place's scenery is really good. If there's a chance, I will come again.
Grand Mistress softly said, "Lin San, let's go."
The two of them got in the carriage. Grand Mistress was quiet and didn't speak. Lin Wanrong also ignored her. This time, she should sleep.
Xiao Yuruo saw him leaning on the carriage with a tired look. She thought, this time, it's all thanks to him, otherwise, she doesn't know what would have happened. She felt a little grateful in her heart, and the way she looked at him also became much gentler. Lin Wanrong yawned and said, "Eldest Miss, don't look at me like that, I will be shy."
"Go to hell — —" Grand Mistress was instantly angry. She threw a pillow in the carriage at him. The little good impression she had for him disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Lin Wanrong never needed to prepare when he flirted with girls. Although he did it by chance, the effect was extraordinary. Just like this time, when they arrived at Jin Ling city, they traveled for hundreds of miles. Grand Mistress didn't say a word to Lin Wanrong again. She looked like an enemy with a black face. Anyway, Lin Wanrong was used to it. If he saw Grand Mistress smiling at him, he might think that she had other intentions.
When the carriage entered Jin Ling city, Xiao Yuruo's eyes became moist. In the past, when she left home, she didn't have this strong feeling. Thinking about how she almost couldn't come back, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, and they started to fall.
Lin Wanrong saw that she was crying, but she didn't want to cry out loud. He thought, 'this girl has suffered a lot.'
When they arrived in front of the Xiao Fu's door, Grand Mistress held her cheeks with her hands. Her shoulders were slightly trembling. She couldn't even get out of the carriage. Lin Wanrong jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, stood in front of the door and shouted, "Grand Mistress is back — —"
The people in the house were in panic. After a while, a large group of people came out. The one in the front was Lady Xiao.
"Xiao Yuruo, Xiao Yuruo, where is — —" Lady Xiao shouted in panic. Tears were dripping down her cheeks.
"Mother — —" Xiao Yuruo got out of the carriage and threw herself into her mother's arms. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
'This is so f * cking touching.' Lin Wanrong wiped the corner of his eyes and said in his heart.
"Lin San, you're back." Uncle Fu and Lin Wanrong gave each other a bear hug.
"Uncle Fu, I missed you so much, hug — —"
"Wow, Chang Bo, I missed you so much, hug — —"
"Oh, Butler Wang, I missed you too, hug — —"
"Madam, I missed you so much, hug — — take care!" Lin Wanrong and the others hugged each other. Just when he wanted to take advantage of Madam, Lady Xiao glared at him.
He smiled embarrassedly. Seeing his Young Cousin was waving at him, he walked over and said, "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Lin San, Miss Qin is gone." Guo Wuchang said with great disappointment.
Gone? That's great. Lin Wanrong secretly rejoiced in his heart. If this girl was still here, with her character, who knows what would happen. Although Qin Xian 'er had deep feelings for him, Lin Wanrong was very worried about her character of killing people. Maybe it was a good thing that she was gone.
Of course, Lin Wanrong knew why Qin Xian 'er left. Seeing Guo Wuchang's sad look, he thought that he was really infatuated with Qin Xian' er. Who knew that Young Cousin said, "She's gone. What excuse do I need to find to see my Dongmei?"
"F * ck!" Lin Wanrong shouted and raised his middle finger. I despise you.
Seeing that Lady Xiao had returned safely, Xiao Fu was very lively. However, when Lin Wanrong looked around, there seemed to be a figure missing from the crowd. Where was Yushuang? Where was Yushuang?
He hurriedly pulled his Young Cousin and said, "Young Master, where is Second Miss?"
Young Cousin sighed and said, "Cousin Yushuang, she's at Xixia Temple!"
"Xixia Temple — — she wants to become a monk?" Lin Wanrong jumped up.
