Being called out of nowhere, Xie Ling looked up in surprise, and saw the girl looking at her with a smile, looking sweet and soft, as if she really just wanted to get to know her.

If you ignore the fleeting jealousy in your eyes after seeing her face.

There was some interest in Xie Ling's eyes.

Admire yourself?

The original owner never left the house. Although she was beautiful, she had never appeared at any banquet for noble ladies in the capital. She lied so eloquently.

Xie Ling immediately defined her in her mind.

A white lotus that is slightly higher in rank than Liu Rouhan.

Gu Shiyu came over, held Xie Ling's hand, and said in a light voice, "Cousin Gu Wei is handsome and elegant, and sister-in-law is also so beautiful, like a fairy in a painting, charming and elegant, she doesn't look like a concubine's daughter, but like a legitimate daughter."

He secretly backstabbed Xie Ling for being a concubine's daughter and having an evil appearance.

But the tone is so innocent that it is hard to find any fault with it.

Pei's eyes suddenly turned gloomy as she looked Gu Shiyu up and down.

Xie Ling curled her red lips lightly, her eyes curved with a smile, "Miss Shi Yu is really gentle, polite and talkative, and your mother..."

At this point, Xie Ling's eyes flickered, "You really don't look like your mother at all."

Xie Ling's words were lingering and graceful, and everyone present naturally knew what she meant.

Gu Shiyu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and didn't speak.

Xie Ling added: "She doesn't look like a girl who was not raised by a father at all. She looks just like a girl who was raised by a father."

Xie Ling was happy in her heart. Are you trying to compete with me in being sarcastic?

Seeing that Xie Ling was not bullied, Pei responded fluently and naturally with a smile in her eyes.

Gu Shiyu's long eyelashes fluttered constantly, and it was obvious that she was extremely angry.

Gu's second daughter-in-law walked over angrily, and as soon as she opened her mouth, Gu Shiyu grabbed her wrist.

When Gu Shiyu raised his eyes again, he looked gentle again.

She said softly: "Although Shi Yu has no father, he has three uncles who have taught him how to behave since he was a child. I remember that when cousin Gu Wei was not sick, he often taught Shi Yu some truths. I don't know when cousin Gu Wei will wake up."

At this point, Gu Shiyu's eyelashes became wet. He took out a small handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, then looked around, "Where's cousin Gu Wei?"

Gu Li said quickly: "Second brother is over there."

Gu Shiyu looked in the direction of Gu Li's hand and felt even sadder. Just as she was about to go over to see Gu Wei, Xie Ling stretched out her hand to block her way.

Xie Ling said calmly: "Miss Shi Yu, your cousin Gu Wei is not wearing any clothes."

When Gu Shiyu glanced just now, she clearly saw that Gu Wei was well dressed, and Xie Ling obviously didn't want her to get close to Gu Wei.

But Xie Ling had already said so, and if she continued to pester him to watch it, it would be shameless.

Gu Shiyu swallowed the anger in his chest and said, "That's really unfortunate. I'll come to see my cousin another day."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of officials beating drums and gongs could be heard outside the inn.

"Let's get going. Take a break and get organized. Let's get going!"

All the people from the Gu family's side branches dispersed.

Xie Ling looked at Gu Shiyu's back in confusion.

What exactly is this woman's purpose?

A quarter of an hour later, all the prisoners gathered outside the inn.

The officers were counting the number of people one by one.

A fat official looked at the dozen carriages lined up in a row and said sternly, "There are so many carriages. Do you think you are going to Jiangnan for a trip? Only four families are allowed to keep the carriages. Sell all the others. If you can't sell them, throw them away!"

Leader Shen glanced around with his eagle eyes and pointed at four people, "You four can stay, the rest of you just walk away!"

The people he was referring to were Xie Ling, Gu Sanlang from the Gu family's side branch, and two other families, all of whom had given him benefits.

Xie Ling thought secretly that it was fortunate that her uncle was a good person and gave Leader Shen a gold ingot.

After a burst of wailing, an official beside Leader Shen came out to play the good cop, "It's not that we don't sympathize with you, it's just that you are here to be exiled, not to play.

If the person in the capital knew that you were so leisurely, would you be able to get away with it? Besides, there are robbers all over the road, so many carriages are just sitting ducks, right? "

A man jumped out and said indignantly: "Why can these four families do this? We bought so many things and put them on the carriage. Leader Shen, what do you say we should do?"

Leader Shen pointed at Xie Ling and said, "They have a pregnant woman at home, there are two elderly people in that family over there, and this family has so many children..."

Anyway, he has reasons for what he says.

The prisoners also realized that Leader Shen favored their four families.

Looking at the excited prisoners, Leader Shen sighed and said, "Forget it. I'll give you half a minute to buy a cart. You must set off on time in half a minute. If you don't arrive, it will be considered as running away."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the owner of the horse market happened to be next door and brought dozens of carts.

The prisoners rushed over to sell their carriages and buy carts.

Xie Ling had a deep suspicion that Leader Shen and the horse market owner were in collusion, and that he would get a few cents commission for every cart sold.

The people in the second house were so angry that their faces twisted. Zhang even sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "What a scoundrel! Our carriage cost a total of 500 li of silver, but we could only buy a cart. That cart is just a few broken wooden boards. Is it worth 20 taels of silver?"

The horse market owner snorted, "If you think it's too expensive, don't buy it! After leaving Baishui Town, the next town is 500 miles away. If you think you can get there before you die of exhaustion, don't buy it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those families who were originally hesitant all made up their minds to buy the carts.

Leader Shen had said before that we could buy horse-drawn carriages and supplies, so every family bought countless amounts of rice, flour, and dry food. If there were no carts and they could only rely on their backs, they would be exhausted to death in such a cold and windy day.

Xu Xingzhi was smart and had anticipated the current situation, so he did not buy a carriage.

After the Gu family got a carriage, they moved Gu Wei onto the carriage.

The cart was no longer needed, so Xie Ling asked Gu Li to send the cart to Xu Xingzhi's home.

Xu Xingzhi and Yu Niang were not pretentious. They accepted the carriage and expressed their sincere gratitude.

Xu's mother is old, and without a cart, she really can't reach Lingnan.

After loading all their belongings onto the carriage, the family got in.

Xie Ling took out the rechargeable little sun from the space, cut a few pieces of rice cake and put them on it to roast. The carriage was warm and filled with the rich aroma of rice.

Gu Li was wearing the close-fitting thermal underwear given by Xie Ling, a hat and gloves, and was sitting outside driving the carriage.

Xie Ling opened the carriage curtain, and Baishui Town turned into a small dot and disappeared in the distance.

Suddenly, Xie Ling noticed with her sharp eyes that tiny gold powder was scattering from her carriage as it moved forward.

She withdrew her eyes in confusion and returned her gaze to the carriage.

There were tiny sparkles of golden light on the fingertips of her cheap husband, exactly the same as those scattered outside the carriage.

Is Gu Wei exposing his whereabouts?

Exposed to whom?

His men?

Xie Ling lifted a corner of the car curtain again and stared outside the car without blinking.

Sure enough, several dark figures were found among the vast green mountains.

It was fleeting, but Xie Ling still caught it.

At this moment, Gu Wei listened to the familiar chirping of insects outside the carriage and thought that he should be able to wake up soon and protect his family.
