Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

The follower snorted coldly and ignored her.

Seeing him like this, Hehua was so angry that she was fuming. She was about to argue with him a few more words when she suddenly heard Shen Nankui calling her. She just glared at him, hurriedly picked up the snacks on the ground and left.

"what happened?"

After passing by, Shen Nankui asked.

He Hua held up the snacks covered in dirt and showed them to her. "Miss, I was kind enough to send food to Mr. Cai's followers, but he didn't appreciate it and even ruined it. These are snacks from Lan Fang Zhai. Now they are covered in dust and can't be eaten. What a pity!"

Shen Nankui comforted him: "Maybe he didn't mean it, don't be angry."

Cai Ling's face darkened. "No matter what it is, you shouldn't vent your anger on Miss Hehua."

He took the snack from He Hua's hand and said, "I'll go talk to him."

He Hua was delighted and bowed to his back, "Thank you Mr. Cai for your justice!"

Cai Ling walked over with the dirty snack and handed it directly to Hei Niu, "Eat it."

Black Bull frowned in disdain, "Sir, this is all covered in mud, won't it break your teeth if you eat it?"

Cai Ling said calmly, "When you and I were practicing in the mountains, we were short of food and even ate snakes and rats. Why should you be afraid of a mere snack covered in mud? Besides, I have taught you not to waste things casually. It is wrong for you to vent your anger on Miss Hehua. Others may not eat this snack, but you must eat it. This is a lesson for me."

"Well, if you want me to eat, I will eat it."

Hei Niu took the snack and swallowed it all in three or two bites, and then kept sifting out the dirt with the sound of "Puh Puh".

"Do you realize your mistake?"

Hei Niu made a bitter face and said reluctantly: "Hei Niu knows he was wrong, but I really don't understand. Young Master just left Jiangnan a few years ago. He left Cang County this time and was originally going to Jizhou. How did he end up going to Jiangnan?"

He glanced in Shen Nankui's direction, "Could it be that you did this for her? But her father is an official, and she is close to the Hu family. Do you want to break the rules you set? In my opinion, you have helped her enough, why do you have to take this trip?"

Cai Ling's face turned cold and he cast a stern look at him.

Hei Niu shrank his neck in fear, "I said something out of turn..."

"You still know how to speak out of turn?" Cai Ling said coldly, "I have taught you not to bow to power, but I have never taught you to be arrogant. Miss Shen is brave and knowledgeable. She is a teacher, runs an academy, and runs a business and a shop. She is far beyond the reach of ordinary women. She is a respectable person and will not tolerate your reckless remarks. Besides, am I too lenient with you on weekdays? You dare to teach me how to do things?"

Cai Ling is a free-spirited person who doesn't like being restricted, so he doesn't really discipline Hei Niu.

As long as he didn't do anything out of line, he always turned a blind eye. But now it seems that he was wrong. His ignorant character almost made him look bad in front of Miss Shen.

Seeing that his young master was really angry, Hei Niu hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake.

"Please calm down, sir. I know I was wrong."

Cai Ling glanced at him and said, "Go and apologize to Miss Hehua later. Also, put away your stinky face."

He suddenly felt a little irritated and walked alone under a tree not far away.

It is said that servants should be filial to their masters. Miss Shen, don't you think that you are such a frivolous person?

When they were traveling in the afternoon, Cai Ling no longer rode his horse to follow the carriage, but walked in front, saying that he was going to explore the way first.

However, the black bull suddenly changed his temper and stayed beside the carriage waiting for orders.

He Hua made sarcastic remarks, but he did not retort.

Shen Nankui was puzzled and spoke to him in a friendly manner. Suddenly he asked, "Mr. Cai is not going to Jiangnan this time, right?"

Hei Niu was about to nod, but he remembered his master's instructions and quickly reacted. He shook his head and said, "Where else can we go if not to Jiangnan? Why did Miss Shen say that?"

Shen Nankui felt relieved and said with a smile: "Nothing, just a casual question."

Shen Nankui didn't see Cai Ling for the whole afternoon until it was almost dark and she passed by a town, then she saw the figure waiting at the entrance of the town.

When they came closer, Cai Ling said, "I can ride fast on horseback. I have already booked a room in the town and asked the host to prepare food and hot water. Miss Shen, the journey to Jiangnan is long and the suffering is yet to come. You should rest early after eating and washing up to recuperate."

Shen Nankui hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you Mr. Cai for arranging it for us."

Cai Ling waved his hand and walked ahead to lead the way.

……

For five consecutive days, Cai Ling arranged the itinerary very carefully, and never missed a place to stay, no matter how fast or slow the journey was.

Shen Nankui had been sitting in the car for several days and his body gradually began to feel exhausted.

Every day, she either fell asleep in the car or felt tired, and sometimes she even felt dizzy and nauseous. In just ten days, she looked swollen.

Cai Ling was a little worried. "Miss Shen, it will take a few more days to get to Yongzhou. You are in such a bad condition that you can't hold on any longer. There is a county town thirty miles ahead. Why don't we go in and rest for two days and then ask a doctor to see you? Otherwise, you might collapse before we even get to Jiangnan..."

Shen Nankui also found it a little strange.

Clearly, she was fine on the first two days of the journey, but as time went on, she felt uncomfortable whether sitting or lying down, could not eat or sleep, and she became swollen for no apparent reason.

It was also Hehua's first time to travel far away, but she didn't react at all.

Is it really because I had a miscarriage that my body became so weak?

Seeing that everyone was worried about him, Shen Nankui did not show off and nodded, saying, "There is no rush for the workshop. Everyone has been traveling hard, so let's go to the city to rest for two days before setting off again."

In just thirty miles, Shen Nankui vomited twice. His face was pale, without a trace of blood.

Cai Ling was also anxious. After sending the person to the inn, he went straight to find a doctor.

After checking the pulse, the doctor asked, "Are you from Cang County?"

Hehua answered yes, somewhat confused as to why he asked such an irrelevant question.

Before she could ask, the doctor asked, "What kind of emergency is it that would make you let a pregnant woman travel so fast?"
