Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Art ran out of breath, holding a dagger in his hand and came to the side of the carriage where the wine was being warmed, and said:

"for you."

"Wow! Is this still the same bandit?"

"He looks much more handsome without his beard."

"He is a good young man. If he can turn over a new leaf, maybe the wine will be interested in him."

"Haha, you old fool, don't mess around with the couples. The wine may not agree to it."

"That's not necessarily true. If Meijiu doesn't like him, how can he accept his things?"

There are gossipy women everywhere. Whenever they see something happening between a man and a woman, they often know more than the parties involved.

After she said this, people who didn't know the truth actually believed it.

"That's right. The wine seemed quiet before, but it's really powerful."

Although Wen Meijiu couldn't hear clearly the women's muttering, she could tell that they were all talking about her.

Putting the dagger on his waist, Wen Meijiu glared at him and said:

"Go back."

"Hey, don't say it, this is really good stuff."

Art had an excited look on his face. He had just shown the dagger used to warm the wine to his brothers. They were all envious and praised him for being so lucky.

After saying this, he did not forget to glance at Prince Wang who was sitting in the carriage in front.

Prince Wang has recovered. In order to make more room for the children, he is now sitting sideways in the car. He does not need to look back, as he can catch a glimpse of the situation here with the corner of his eyes.

At this time, Lanling, Jinxiang, and Gu Junchu were all sitting in the car in the front. Children loved lively places and were bored on the road to escape famine. When they heard the noise over here, they all stared eagerly.

"Isn't this the black guy Sister Meijiu called?"

Lanling is young and has no fear, so he dares to say anything.

"He's not too dark even after shaving, is he?"

Jin Xiang was more fair. She glanced at Prince Wang who was sitting next to her, then looked at Art who was sitting behind her, and made this comment.

In her eyes, Art was a little darker than Prince Wang, but still far inferior to the darkest old man in the village.

Two of the three children expressed their opinions. How could Gu Junchu not say something, otherwise he would seem out of place.

"If we talk about handsome features, tall stature, and stern and strong appearance, he is naturally inferior; but if we talk about unrestrained, sunny and willful, smart and handsome, he is the best here."

Gu Junchu was a child, and although he didn't say it explicitly, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was comparing Prince Wang and Art.

Someone felt unhappy when he heard this, but he couldn't get angry at a child, so he could only endure it.

Looking at that person trotting along with the carriage carrying the warm wine, he didn't leave for a long time, but became more and more excited as he talked.

"Miss Wen, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you or not?"

Wen Meijiu had already ordered him to leave, but he still refused to leave. He acted like this in public, which was intended to embarrass her.

Not wanting to make fun of so many people, Wen Meijiu raised his voice slightly and said:

"Please talk about official matters. We can talk about personal matters when we have time."

"Official business, of course it's official business, and it's urgent."

What he said was so important that Wen Meijiu took advantage of the situation and jumped off the carriage, saying to Dazhu, the driver:

"Brother Dazhu, you guys go first, I'll follow you later."

Dazhu nodded and drove the carriage away. Wen Meijiu and Art walked slowly and gradually fell behind the team.

"Say something quickly."

Wen Meijiu didn't look at him. She pulled at the half sleeve that he had pulled off. Feeling very hot, she pulled it up again.

Art walked beside Wen Meijiu, feeling happy, and said:

"It's not a big deal. It's just that my brothers feel that you, Miss Wen, are a little biased."

Wen Meijiu glanced sideways at his face. It was indeed much more comfortable than before. It was so refreshing, how nice.

"Where's the bias?"

"Look, we are all protecting you. You give food to Zhizheng and the others but not to us. Doesn't it seem a bit biased to outsiders?"

Afraid that if he spoke too hastily, Wen Meijiu would chase him away again, Art spoke carefully and did not dare to sound so tough, after all, he did not have the confidence enough.

"Then you can go. I can't support so many people here. Do you think it's easy to feed so many mouths?"

Look, she is still anxious, and he hasn't even said a few words yet.

“No, that’s not what I meant.

In fact, we still have some meat and grain, so we are not short of food.

Personally, I certainly don't want to add to your burden, but my brothers are often bullied because of this matter, and they get very annoyed when they talk to me about it."

There is no shortage of food, and just to avoid being bullied, this is very satisfying. To warm the wine, all you need to do is tell Zhizheng.

"That's not difficult. I'll go find Zhizheng later."

"What's the point of looking for him? That's what he said."

"Impossible, Zhizheng would never say such a thing."

In Wen Meijiu's impression, Zhizheng is a very sensible person and will never attack others without reason unless others provoke him.

In terms of character, she would rather believe that it was Art who provoked Zhizheng first, and Zhizheng was forced to say such words.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance."

Wen Meijiu's attitude made Art very unhappy. He tried so hard to please her, but she didn't believe him. Why did she believe him even though Zhizheng didn't say anything?

Wen Meijiu wanted to say something on Zhi Zheng's behalf, but then she thought that if she said too much, she would not expose the fact that she had known Zhi Zheng for a long time.

It is better to have less trouble than more. She has enough food. As long as they behave themselves, Wen Meijiu doesn't mind feeding more people.

"Okay, okay, I believe everything you said, is that okay?"

Wen Meijiu's words were nonchalant because she didn't take the matter to heart. In Art's opinion, she was just impatient.

No, he had to do something to make his subordinates believe that Wen Meijiu was a good person, but also to prevent Wen Meijiu from thinking that he was a gigolo.

“Miss Wen, just trust me.

Don't worry, I just want to clear the name of my brothers so that others will have nothing to say in the future.

I still have some food and meat, I can give them all to you, which will be regarded as our formal membership in the Guards."

Patting his chest loudly, Art spoke with great passion. Now, they were much more respectable than when they had just quarreled.

To put it bluntly, Zhizheng and the others come here to eat for free, while they bring food in to help Wenmeijiu and the others improve their lives. The two are completely different and cannot be compared.

From now on, let's see who dares to act arrogantly in front of them. As for them, they can walk sideways in front of them.
