Chapter 276 Zhao Zhao, Be Good, Be Patient
When Lin Wan heard the woman say that bandits had killed the general, his gaze paused and his hand holding the bundle tightened unconsciously.
The eldest brother was murdered?
How can it be?
He was apparently fine when they saw him. Could it be that his father knew about his eldest brother's identity and conspiracy, and was afraid that it would implicate the Lin family, so he killed him?
But if it has been confirmed that my eldest brother is a traitor of the previous dynasty, my father should take him to the Dali Temple in the capital and let the emperor make the final decision before he commits any treason.
In the end what happened?
Lin Wan's thoughts were in a mess, and the conversation between those people was still going on.
"So the strict investigation now is to find Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin?"
"Yes, the portrait is posted everywhere. Miss Lin is so beautiful! But after being robbed by the bandits, I guess she is innocent..."
portrait?
Yes, portraits... She remembered that just as she was walking along the road, she saw those officers and soldiers holding portraits and looking for someone.
She should have tried to get a portrait.
"Hush! How dare you say that? Are you going to die?"
A woman looked around and after making sure that the officers and soldiers had not heard it, she lowered her voice and said:
"Where did you hear that? How could such a powerful person as the general be killed by bandits? The general is the god of war on our border. How could a few bandits defeat him?"
The other woman heard this and looked around. After confirming that it was safe, she said:
"You don't know this, right? It is said that the current emperor was afraid that the Duke would become too powerful, so he wanted to take back the military power. The general's death was planned by them, and they even sent the third prince to come here personally..."
The woman was halfway through her words when she saw Lin Wan was about to leave, and she said sternly:
"Where are you going?"
The voice was very unfriendly. Lin Wan just paused, ignored her and continued walking forward.
"This bitch!"
The woman grumbled and quickly followed to stop her.
Aunt Huang just said that this is a girl from a good family. The so-called good family in their place does not mean a virtuous woman, but a rich fat sheep. The poor people in their place refer to girls who have no money but a good appearance and can be sold at a good price.
They won't let this fat sheep get away!
Lin Wan looked at the person who stopped her, alert in her heart, and said coldly:
"What do you want to do?"
At this time, Aunt Huang came over with six other women. Seeing the two people at loggerheads, they hurried over to mediate:
"What's going on? What happened?"
Before Lin Wan could speak, the woman spoke first:
"She's leaving."
When Aunt Huang heard what the woman said, a strange look flashed across her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal and said:
"If the girl wants to leave, just let her go! The girl is my guest, and you are also my guest. It's not easy for everyone to be away from home. Why are you so fierce?"
"It's not easy to gather people here. If she leaves, we'll have to wait forever. We're also in a hurry."
"Okay, okay, okay, look, everyone is here now, right? Don't worry."
After Aunt Huang finished communicating with that person, she turned to look at Lin Wan, still smiling, and said:
"Miss, are you leaving? We are the only ones in this area who take the Pusong Road. It will probably be afternoon if we go there and come back. Not to mention that if we come back in the afternoon, it will be evening if we go there again. We don't know if you can find us by then. We won't be soliciting customers in this area in the afternoon."
It is definitely safer during the day than at night. A hint of hesitation flashed across Lin Wan's eyes.
Seeing that she was somewhat relaxed, Aunt Huang narrowed her eyes slightly, but did not force her, and just said:
"Girl, think about it carefully first."
Then he said to the women behind him:
"Everyone, please get on the bullock cart first!"
There were two ox carts in total, each carrying five people.
When everyone was ready, Aunt Huang looked at Lin Wan and said:
"Girl, have you made up your mind? Do you want to go?"
Lin Wan pursed her lips, feeling conflicted. When the ox cart was about to start moving, she finally raised her foot and followed.
She couldn't afford to waste any time now. Every moment she delayed would put her father in more danger.
Seeing Lin getting on the ox cart at night, Aunt Huang's gaze unconsciously swept over the small bundle in her hand, and a hint of deep meaning flashed across her eyes.
"Okay, girls, sit tight. This road is a bit bumpy and not as comfortable as the official road."
The oxcart started moving, much slower than the horse carriage, and it shook violently. Lin Wan felt his butt hurt from the shaking.
The ox cart drove into the small road. Lin Wan had been pretending to be busy and had not paid attention to it, but now she realized that all the people Aunt Huang was pulling were women, and they were about the same age as her.
She instantly became alert, looked around, and tightly grasped the gold hairpin under her sleeve.
"Auntie Huang, is this road wrong? Why do I feel like this is the way back?"
"What's the matter!"
Aunt Huang smiled.
"This path is full of twists and turns. Don't worry. We are in this business and we also want to have a good reputation. We will definitely send you all to Pusong safely."
The woman who had just stopped Lin Wan also started to chime in, looking at him with disdain:
"You're not a local, are you? Have you never walked this road?"
The other women were originally wary because of Lin Zhaoyue's words, but after hearing what the woman said, they relaxed.
Locals are reliable. If they ask further questions, they will act like they have never seen the world.
Some people even chimed in to show that they were familiar with this area:
"Don't worry, girl. There are so many of us! We can just take the small path."
Lin Wan didn't say anything else, just observed his surroundings carefully.
The ox cart went further and further off the track and went farther and farther away.
"I guess everyone hasn't had lunch yet! Come on, everyone, have some buns to fill your stomach."
Aunt Huang took out a bag of buns and distributed them to everyone enthusiastically.
The woman who had just stopped Lin Wan took it, said thank you sweetly, and then took one and started eating.
It’s a good deal if you don’t take advantage of it. Seeing this, others also quickly picked one up and started eating.
The buns were still warm.
Aunt Huang saw that they had all eaten, and the smile in her eyes deepened. When she glanced at Lin Wanshi, she saw that she didn't move, and a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she said:
"Why don't you eat, girl?"
Lin Wan looked at her and said:
"I was already full when I came here, and I want to keep this bun."
"It's so cold in this weather. If it gets frozen, it won't taste good."
Aunt Huang said.
"It's okay. I need to go to the bathroom. Aunt Huang, can you please stop?"
Aunt Huang looked at her and said:
"parking."
Those people had received benefits from Aunt Huang, and seeing Lin Wan looking for trouble, they said impatiently:
"Why do you have so many things to do? We are all traveling together, but no one is willing to accommodate you."
"That's right, squeamish..."
The others hadn't even finished their words when their vision blurred and their bodies fell limply.
Seeing this, Lin Wan ran away.
Aunt Huang looked at Lin Wan's back coldly and gave orders:
"Chase me!"
This bitch is quite alert.
The two drivers immediately unbend their hunched backs and get off their carts to chase after him.
Lin Wan was already exhausted, and was caught up by them after only running a few steps.
She held the golden hairpin and pointed it at the two strong men, saying:
"I am the eldest daughter of Duke Lin. If you arrest me, my father will definitely..."
"I am the eldest daughter of Duke Lin, and I am her father. You bitch, you still want to run away!"
A sturdy man spat and hit Lin Wan with the stick in his hand. Lin Wan was knocked unconscious and fell limply on the snow...
……
Mrs. Lin stayed in the dilapidated temple, waiting for Ning Yi to come back for a long time. Her eyelids kept twitching and she felt uneasy.
At this moment, she heard some noise outside and subconsciously hid behind the window. She saw through the gap that the person coming was Ning Yishi and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Ning Yi had a small bundle hanging on his body, with a rolled-up paper in one hand and food that looked like beggar's chicken in the other.
Ning Yi entered the ruined temple and when he saw only Madam Lin, he said:
"What about her?"
Mrs. Lin was inexplicably afraid to look Ning Yi in the eye, and stammered:
"Wanwan was worried about her father and her brother, so she went back to Beizhou City."
Ning Yi has always been a person who doesn't show his emotions, and is even a little numb, but at this moment, he subconsciously frowned, and there was a hint of panic and even irritation in his eyes.
The task the girl gave him was to take the two of them to the coast, but now he had messed it all up!
Moreover, now that his master's life or death is uncertain, he needs to leave the country as soon as possible to pass on the information to Shen Yanzhou.
Mrs. Lin thought Ning Yi would scold her after she said this, but she didn't expect that Ning Yi had already put her on a horse as soon as she finished speaking:
"Which direction did she go?"
Mrs. Lin pointed in the direction Lin Wan left.
After Ning Yi handed the beggar's chicken to Mrs. Lin, he pulled the reins and rode away on his horse...
……
As soon as the red rash on Lin Zhaoyue's body disappeared, her whole body became hot again.
She felt as if there was a fire burning inside her body, burning her internal organs and limbs. A hot current flowed from her abdomen downwards. Her body twisted involuntarily and her hands unconsciously clutched the corner of Xiao Yan's clothes.
Her lips parted slightly, a soft moan escaping her mouth.
His face was flushed, as if he was looking for some kind of relief but couldn't find it, and he was extremely unbearable.
Her three-day illness broke out.
"Zhao Zhao, be good and bear with it for a while."
A deep and pleasant voice sounded in her ears, and it seemed to come from chaos. Lin Zhaoyue wanted to open her eyes, but her eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't open them no matter what.
The scenes in the dream are so touching that one would blush at the first sight of them.
In the dark night, two red candles illuminate the entire room.
Inside the house, a man wearing a pure black satin Zen robe (specifically a single-layered garment, not a monk's robe) was seen leaning on a reclining chair covered with pure white mink fur. The Zen robe was open on both sides, hanging down on both sides of the chair, and the man's smooth muscular lines could be vaguely seen, full of masculine power.
She wore a soft and smooth black skirt and a red satin belt around her waist, which highlighted her slender waist. The excess belt hung to the ground and swayed gently with the movements of its owner.
A beautiful girl sat astride his strong waist, her whole body clinging to him as if she had no bones.
The girl wore a light green bellyband embroidered with embracing mandarin ducks inside, and a pure white satin Zen robe outside, nothing else.
The man placed his big hand on her slender waist, and reached his other hand into her Zen robe.
