Xiu was not a brainless person. If she wanted to make trouble, she wouldn't do it without a reason.
However, since she said that she wanted to teach Sumei and Yuan Mei a lesson, she had to find a reason, didn't she?
By the time they finished their breakfast, the rumor of Yuan Mei and Sumei had spread throughout the camp.
Now, everyone was looking at the two of them with envy and gossip in their eyes.
As for the awkward look on Yuan Lin's face, most people thought that he liked Sumei.
However, Yuan Lin had a beautiful and lovely wife by his side. Now, the beautiful and lovely girl of the Dongfang family was also around him.
As a younger brother, no matter what, he had to give in to his elder brother, right?
However, the atmosphere was a little awkward because of the hostility between the two brothers.
Because the three of them had agreed to go first, Lin Mengya rode on the horse with a sullen face and didn't talk to anyone.
Qiu Yu was also happy to be at ease. He followed behind Lin Mengya and fawned on her.
Therefore, Long Tianhao, who was pestered by Sumei, was in an extremely bad mood.
"Brother Yuan, why don't you take me with you? I'm very flustered if I follow them alone. "
Since early in the morning, Sumei had been pestering Long Tianhao. She either served him tea or helped him eat and dress.
She didn't look like a good girl at all. Her eyes were full of affection. Anyone could tell that the two of them were already entangled in a complicated relationship.
Hongyu was worried before, but when she saw that Yuan Mei didn't avoid her, she gradually felt relieved. However, she was a person who had been through it.
It was just that she had been through it. The relationship between Yuan Mei and Yuan Lin was probably not as simple as that of brother and sister.
Sumei looked pretty good, but compared with Yuan Lin, she was far from being able to compete with him.
If they really became Yuan Lin's concubine, they would not have an easy life with such a powerful mistress.
Moreover, it was Yuan Lin who saved them from the fire pit.
Wasn't it a little too unkind to do this?
"Sister, why don't we wait here? It's dangerous ahead. Don't make trouble for Young Master Yuan, okay? "
She pulled Sumei, who was still acting coquettishly, away. Others might not have noticed, but she could see it clearly. Sumei's shadow had never been in Young Master Yuan Mei's eyes.
Although she did not know what had happened to make Sumei believe that Yuan was not interested in her. However, she was very clear that if she continued to pester him like this, she would definitely die. Sumei would be the one who would be hurt.
"Don't pull me. I know what I'm doing."
Inside the tent, Sumei was no longer as charming and gentle as before. With an impatient look on his face, he flung Hongyu's hand away.
"Sumei, I'm your elder sister. Regardless of whether you recognize me or not, I have to consider your future. That Young Master Yuan doesn't look like he's from an ordinary family. Why bother? "
Hongyu did not know how to get along with Sumei.
His childhood memories were so blurry that only a rough outline was left.
After living in the brothel for so many years, she was used to scheming to earn more money.
She could deal with the most difficult guests, but when it came to her biological sister, there was only helplessness and anxiety.
Even if it was for her own good, he still had to be careful.
"So what? After so many years, you're used to seeing high officials and dignitaries. If you say he's not an ordinary person, he must not be an ordinary person. As long as we can keep hold of him, we don't have to worry about our future. "
Sumei said indifferently, as if she did not care about Hongyu's worry.
Standing on the spot, Hongyu suddenly did not know what to say to persuade Sumei.
Riches and honor were like clouds and smoke. At that time, many high officials and dignitaries wanted to redeem her as a concubine, but in the end, she declined all of them.
That was because she knew all too well that those wealthy families were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
"Listen to me. You really can't afford to offend that Young Master Yuan. Even if you can catch his eye, you'll only be a concubine. Although I can't make you rich and powerful, I can find you a rich and good family in the Nation of Lintian, so that you can live a peaceful and stable life. Isn't that good? "
Hongyu held Sumei's hand, trying to convey her feelings to her.
But Sumei gave her a sarcastic look and withdrew her hand easily.
"Find a rich family? You want me to be a peasant woman for the rest of my life with the money you earn from selling yourself? Sister, how can you be so selfish? "
Her sarcastic tone, coupled with her extremely disgusted attitude, made Hongyu feel cold. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over Hongyu's heart.
She had always been thinking about her sister. Why was she so misunderstood by her sister?
"I just …"
"Do you really think that father and mother don't know that you've been sold to a brothel? To tell you the truth, you didn't go missing. You were sold by father and mother. They sold you for five taels of silver. That was the best year we've had since we were young. Unfortunately, we could only sell you this time. Father and mother regretted it so much that they refused to sell me again. Do you know that? "
The coldness spread from her heart. Hongyu did not know how pale her face was.
She also did not know that she looked like she was on the verge of collapse. It was as if she would fall at any time.
She took a step back before she managed to support herself.
She could understand why her family sold her because they were poor.
But why did her biological sister seem to feel that she did not have enough money to sell herself?
Could it be that in her heart, her sister was not as important as a few taels of silver?
"Oh, you're feeling bad now, aren't you? Sister, you've been living a good life all these years. Have you ever thought about me and our parents? When Mother died, I was the one who served her. Now, I finally have a chance to do so. Not only did you not help me, but you're also a hindrance to me. What kind of intentions do you have? "
She … she was only thinking about her sister, but she did not expect that in Sumei's heart, she was a hindrance to her.
Hongyu felt her vision blacking out.
Was this girl really her biological sister?
"Let me tell you, I'm determined to have Master Yuan. So what if he's a concubine? As long as I don't have to live a life where I don't know the next meal, I'll do anything. Sister, you don't have to help me, but if you stop me again, don't blame me for being rude! "
Sumei threatened Hong Yu. Unknowingly, her delicate and pretty face had turned into a vicious expression.
Hongyu looked at her sister in a daze, and a drop of tear fell from the corner of her eye.
She knew that they were not living well at home. In her memory, she and her sister ate coarse grains like wheat bran, sweet potatoes and sorghum.
But she never expected that her sister, who used to be so innocent and lovely, would become like this for no reason.
Could it be that she was really wrong?
Her reason told her that if Sumei continued to make mistakes, she would burn herself by playing with fire.
However, she did not try to dissuade her. Sumei would not listen to her at all. She just wanted to help her sister. Oh God, what should she do?
Her silent crying made this famous prostitute, who used to be good at dancing, extremely sad.
She hoped that Sumei would not go too far. Otherwise, even she would not be able to protect Sumei …
The three horses walked side by side. Lin Mengya sat in the middle, while Long Tianhao and Qiu Yu sat on either side.
Each of them had their own thoughts. It was funny that every time the three of them got together, the atmosphere was always so awkward.
Lin Mengya looked around and snickered in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.
It was Long Tianhao's fault for flirting with Sumei without discussing it with her.
Qiu Yu was not a good person either. He was gloating, as if she could not see it.
After getting out of the apricot forest, the three of them soon stood on a small soil slope.
Lin Mengya could not help but gasp. It was no wonder that Master Guo had repeatedly warned him not to barge in if there was any accident.
"God, is there such a wonder in the world?"
Not only Lin Mengya, but also Long Tianhao, who saw it for the first time, could not help but be shocked.
In the distance, the sky and the earth seemed to be split into two halves by a huge axe.
The deep valley was only a dozen meters wide, but the two banks were neat. Looking left and right, they could not see the end. It seemed to be boundless, and they could not help marveling at the supernatural workmanship of nature.
They let the horses move forward slowly, and in front of them was a mountain road that had nothing to rely on, but it was the only way to the other side.
"Be careful, there is nothing below."
Qiu Yu, who was familiar with the terrain, quickly reminded them. Lin Mengya got off the horse and looked ahead cautiously.
She could not help but gasp. God, there was a real abyss in front of her. Although she was not afraid of heights, at a glance, it was actually surrounded by clouds and mist. It was unfathomable.
Lin Mengya could not help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. If she fell, even a rock would be smashed into pieces, let alone a human.
"Is this mountain road really formed by nature?"
Lin Mengya carefully stepped on the only stone path, but before she could stand firm, a gust of strong wind blew fiercely towards her.
Long Tianhao, who was quick-witted, quickly pulled her over. In the blink of an eye, Lin Mengya's palms were soaked with cold sweat.
"Well, we people of the Nation of Lintian call this the Immortal Road. It is said that the Nation of Lintian and Dajin were originally one. Later, the cavalry of Dajin fought in the east and west, and the people of the Nation of Lintian had no way to live. Later, an immortal split the two banks with an immortal axe. And he walked through this stone road. "
Qiu Yu's eyes were a little complicated.
Lin Mengya did not think too much about it. Maybe it was because he was so close to home.
Anyway, Qiu Yu was the imperial physician of the emperor in Dajin, and it seemed that he was loyal and trusted by the emperor.
