After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"What did you just say?"

Sitting on the horse was a woman in gorgeous clothes, who was angrily pointing at the driver with a whip and asking.

The driver who was speaking just now didn't expect that he was heard just by muttering a few words, and he was trembling with fear.

"I didn't say anything. You must have heard it wrongly." He hurriedly distanced himself from the matter.

"This princess has very good ears." As she said this, the woman whipped the coachman.

With a "snap", just when the coachman thought he was going to die, the whip was grabbed by the guard who appeared out of nowhere.

"When beating a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Princess Gao Li, do you want to kill someone in front of me?"

Xiao Minshen sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and spoke to the people outside.

A hint of surprise flashed across Princess Gao Li's face as she rode on her horse, but when she saw Shen Yunjin beside Xiao Minshen, her face darkened.

"I was wondering whose servant was so unruly, it turns out he's from Prince Qi's mansion."

"Princess, you can't slander people at will. Although they are servants, they are also human beings." Xiao Minshen said coldly.

"I clearly heard him swearing, how can that be considered slander?"

"Where's the evidence? I didn't hear anything while I was in the car, but the princess could still hear it even though she ran so far away. Could it be that the princess has clairaudience? Or is the princess delusional?"

Princess Gao Li was so angry that she was fuming. The King of Qi actually said that she was sick?

If she had known that he was like this, she would not have saved him and would have waited for him to die there!

"You!...Me!..." The princess turned her horse around in anger and was about to leave, but was stopped by the guards.

"King Qi, what do you want to do?" The princess' horse was pulled around.

"Apologize!" Xiao Minshen threw out two words.

"Apologize! You want me to apologize to a servant? Are you crazy? I am your future sister-in-law!"

Xiao Minshen looked at her expressionlessly.

"First, you wronged my driver and you must apologize. Second, you are only my second brother's concubine, not his principal wife!"

Princess Gao Li, who was furious, pulled the reins, and the horse raised its front legs and jumped, running away beyond the guards' obstruction.

"Your Majesty, it is my fault. Please punish me."

The driver knew he had gotten into big trouble and knelt down in front of the carriage.

"Mo Yi, it's dealt with." Xiao Minshen said, and lowered the curtain.

After a while, someone else took the wheel and the carriage continued to move forward.

Shen Yunjin held the little tiger in his arms without saying a word.

"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Xiao Minshen turned around and found that the mother and son were too quiet.

"Did the driver lose his life just because he said something wrong?"

Shen Yunjin became unhappy when she heard that Xiao Minshen asked Mo Yi to deal with the driver.

"In your eyes, am I a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately?"

Xiao Minshen lifted Shen Yunjin's chin with his hand so that she could look at him.

"That's not what I meant. I just thought it wouldn't be a dead end."

Shen Yunjin bit her lip and said, it was too much that he lost his life just because of a casual complaint.

"I didn't take his life. He was just replaced. Of course, he will be punished when he returns."

Xiao Minshen picked up the little tiger and held Shen Yunjin in his arms.

"Misfortune comes from the mouth. It is common to offend the powerful and lose one's life. If he can't control his mouth, it will bring disaster to the palace in the future."

Shen Yunjin nodded, she understood the logic.

It seems that the job of a housekeeper is not just to feed and discipline the servants.

Just now, when Princess Gao Li secretly mocked the Qi Palace for having no rules, wasn't she mocking her as the mistress for not doing a good job?

"Your Highness, it's my fault." Shen Yunjin felt very guilty.

"It's okay. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry."

Xiao Minshen patted Shen Yunjin's shoulder and placed the sleeping little tiger on the couch.

"Didn't the imperial decree come out before, that the princess should marry the second prince? Why hasn't the marriage been completed yet?"

Shen Yunjin put the small blanket on her son.

"Princess Gao Li said she missed her family. She also said that according to their local customs, a woman's natal family must come to see her off when she gets married. She wanted to wait for her family to arrive before getting married. Second brother agreed."

Xiao Minshen stretched out his long legs and changed into a comfortable position.

"My mother's family, aren't they the Huns? They won't let the wolf into the house."

Xiao Minshen looked at her with appreciation.

"So, Father proposed that there should be no more than five men and no more than twenty people. Also, the followers brought by the other party cannot carry weapons."

"Princess Gao Li is walking back and forth on this road. Her family should be arriving soon."

Not far around the corner was the place where Shen Yunjin and the others rested last time. Xiao Minshen ordered the car to stop and rest for a while before setting off again.

Everyone jumped off the car, some fetched water, some fed the horses.

Shen Yunjin and Xiao Minshen got off the carriage. She pointed to the hill next to them and said, "We hid behind this last time and watched you run over."

Xiao Minshen took a look and found it was indeed a good place. The mountain was not high and there was a small depression there, which also provided shelter from the wind.

A few people drank the water from their water bags and ate some dry food, and were about to get on the carriage to continue their journey.

Mo Yi flashed over, "Master, there are a lot of cavalry coming not far away!"

Xiao Minshen made a prompt decision, "Let the coachman drive the two carriages to the back of the mountain, and the others clean up the place quickly."

He picked up the little tiger who was staring at a small insect on the ground, and walked towards the valley with Shen Yunjin in his arms.

Several maids and wet nurses followed quickly, and the remaining guards hurriedly swept the ground clean with dead branches.

Just as they all hid, the first horse appeared in everyone's sight.

The first one, the second one, the third one...these were all the Hun cavalrymen, densely packed with nearly several hundred people.

Shen Yunjin's heart was beating like thunder, afraid that the little tiger would make a sound.

She grabbed Xiao Minshen's clothes tightly and stared at the little tiger in his arms.

The little tiger propped up his head, stared with his eyes, and looked forward, as if wondering what everyone was looking at?

Not until all the Hun cavalry had left did Shen Yunjin breathe a sigh of relief, let go of Xiao Minshen's clothes, and sat down without caring about his image.

Mo Yi, along with a few guards, followed quietly at Xiao Minshen's signal.

Xiao Minshen looked at the little tiger looking around in his arms and nodded secretly in his heart. He was indeed his son, with great courage!

"Rest here and wait for Mo Yi and the others to come back."

Everyone sat down where they were, without saying a word, waiting for Mo Yi and the others to come back.

Most of them were women and children, and they were unable to fight against the Hun cavalry.

The Hun soldiers were very cruel and would not show mercy just because they were women.

He would even insult a woman first, then shoot her in the stomach, and then throw her child to death.

This is why people in the Central Plains want to kill all the Hun soldiers when they talk about them.

After a cup of tea, Mo Yi and the others came back.
