Chapter 138: Two Groups

On the way from Yujia Village to Huangzhuang, Chunwang rode a donkey and led the way.

He seemed nonchalant, but his eyes almost never left the car in front.

The conversation between Xu Rongrong and Luo Xiao kept coming into his ears, which made him feel a little relieved.

Five miles away, you can see a prosperous and bustling village.

Judging from the flags planted at the four corners, this village is at least the size of two Yujia villages.

Mu Rong whispered, "Not bad."

Upon hearing this, Chunwang was quite proud: "Of course, it's the Crown Prince's estate, how dare we not take care of it." "Since it's an imperial estate, why don't we use the imperial flag?" Mu Rong asked.

"Mr. Mu, you don't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a reserved and low-key person. He has issued several strict orders, all of which forbid us from acting ostentatiously."

Mu Rong remained silent after hearing this.

But he knew in his heart: This is really not the prince's style.

In his previous life, when he was ordered to confiscate the prince's manor outside the capital, the show was even more arrogant and luxurious than your majesty's.

Seeing that Mu Rong did not answer, Chunwang thought that he had never seen the world, so he briefly explained the regulations of the prince's manor. Mu Rong listened to it one by one and understood every detail.

As he was speaking, he heard a very abrupt "click" sound coming from behind.

Then came the woman's exclamation.

"What happened?" Mu Rong pulled the reins and stopped.

There was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. Mu Ai jumped off the rear car and stepped forward quickly: "Master, it's... the bottom axle of the rear car is broken."

"How could this happen? Didn't you check carefully before leaving?"

"Because General Chunwang urged me so urgently, I didn't take a closer look. I think the carriage broke after being driven for days and couldn't bear the pressure."

Mu Rong scolded after hearing this: "What a piece of junk!"

Upon hearing this, Chunwang hurriedly rode his donkey back and circled the carriage twice. Sure enough, he saw that the bottom axle of the carriage had been broken and the wheels were a little shaky.

He asked, "It's damaged like this... How long will it take to repair it?"

Mu Ai estimated: "It will take about half a day."

"You're really messing up!" Mu Rong lost his patience and glared at Mu Ai. "Then you stay and fix it. We'll go ahead. Once you've dealt with it, come find us at the farm!" He said, and Mu Ai quickly replied, "Yes!"

Seeing this, Mu Rong turned around and glanced at Chunwang. "What are you doing, Chief Chunwang? My brother is seriously injured and needs medical attention urgently."

His words left Chunwang with no better reason to refuse, so he glanced at the car in front and nodded, "Alright."

After he finished speaking, he pointed out the direction for Mu Ai: "Follow this road and you will enter the village directly. I will greet the gatekeeper and they will send someone to show you in."

Mu Ai thanked him with a bit of embarrassment: "Thank you, Chief Chunwang. It's all my fault. I almost delayed the matter."

"Since you know, why don't you act quickly!" Mu Rong glared at him again.

Seeing this, Chunwang didn't know what to say.

He continued to ride his donkey in front to lead the way, and the gorgeous carriage followed behind Chunwang, swaying forward along the path.

Mu Rong rode his horse aside and glanced back at Mu Ai.

The latter nodded.

Luo Yuqi couldn't wait to lift the curtain of the damaged carriage and watched the carriage carrying the county lady and her mother gradually go away, tears filling her eyes.

Wen Yao's hand had been covering Luo Yuqi's mouth, and she just put it down. She patted the girl's back and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! They will be fine."

Luo Yuqi nodded, and her tears flowed even harder.

Wen Yao sighed.

Ever since Chunwang stood outside the door this morning and repeatedly said that he invited Mr. Mu and his family to go to Huangzhuang together, Xu Rongrong knew that this person's real target was all of them.

Although she didn't know what secrets were hidden in the imperial manor, she didn't know why she had to invite guests there.

Furthermore, the words of the old Yu clan leader from last night until now seemed to be preventing this from happening. What was the relationship between Yujia Village and Huangzhuang?

Why do the women in Yujia Village look so miserable?

As a woman herself, she knew that life in this world was extremely difficult for women, but she had never seen or heard of a case like Yujiacun before.

So she decided to go in and take a look herself.

After all, she still had the identity of the county lord, and even if the people of the imperial farm were extremely brave, they would not dare to attack the county lord easily.

However, this journey was still full of unknown dangers. She did not want to implicate Luo Xiao's mother and daughter, so before getting on the carriage, she and Mu Rong made a plan to escape: when they were halfway there, Mu Ai would break the bottom axle of the rear carriage, causing Luo Xiao's carriage to get stuck in the middle of the road and unable to move.

In this way, the mother and daughter will not fall into danger.

Xu Rongrong knew Luo Xiao's personality, so she made this plan behind her back.

But what no one expected was that Luo Xiao was so perceptive!

She noticed something was amiss when she found out the driver was Mu Ai, so as soon as she got on the carriage, she and Wen Yao exchanged carriages.

However, Luo Yuqi was kept in the dark about all this. When she saw Wen Yao coming to accompany her, she secretly criticized her mother for being so attentive. She knew that she could get along well with Wen Yao's sister, so she specially brought her over.

It was not until the axle broke that she learned the truth. She could only watch her mother and the county lady enter that unknown and strange place.

She grabbed Wen Yao's hand as if it were a life-saving straw: "The Marquis will protect the county lady and my mother, right?"

Wen Yao nodded. "The Marquis and the County Lady both hold high status. The people of the Imperial Manor wouldn't dare offend them easily. Perhaps they'll be released soon."

Luo Yuqi leaned her head on Wen Yao's shoulder.

Mu Ai, who had been squatting under the car pretending to repair it, naturally did not miss the discussion of the girls in the car.

At this moment, he couldn't tell what the outcome of the Marquis and the County Lady's adventure would be.

But no matter what, he also has his own mission to complete.

After replacing the spare axle, he knocked on the carriage window and said, "Don't worry, the Marquis has made all the arrangements."

After saying that, he climbed into the car.

With a flick of the whip, he drove the carriage towards the Jiangnan Road garrison camp...

……

The gate of the imperial farm is not as low and spacious as that of ordinary farms.

It looks more like the gate of a military camp, tall and majestic, with a faint sense of deterrence.

Shu Qing, who was sitting on the bicycle frame, touched Mu Lu's arm and motioned him to look up.

There are actually four sentry posts on the left and right sides of the village gate!

How could this be a manor? Chunwang showed his token, and the gate slowly opened.

He turned around, still with that polite smile on his face: "Everyone, please come in."

After saying that, he took the lead and rode his donkey inside.

The carriage followed closely behind.

Just separated by a door, the inside and outside of the village seem like two different worlds.

The people working and walking here are all concentrating on their own work, and no one speaks.

As Mu Rong rode in, the village gate slowly closed behind them.

A chill slowly rose up Shu Qing's spine.
