After the rebirth of the wronged soft girl, the devil's crematorium
Chapter 75 Robbery
The Queen Mother's eyes changed, and then she smiled lightly, "What can there be between the two of them? A divorced woman, not to mention plain-looking. Xie Yin is used to hanging out with the brothels, how could he possibly be interested in her?"
Yu Lang also found it funny. "Of course this is impossible, but Xie Yin is very cunning. I'm afraid he might use the Su family girl to do something."
Besides, Su Wan caused chaos in the Zheng family yet was able to escape unscathed. Was it the Su family's plan or someone else's behind the scenes? It's hard to say."
Empress Dowager Yu had naturally heard of Su Wan before, but she was just a naive, unsophisticated woman who had married Zheng Yanchen thanks to her father's favor. If it weren't for Su Yanci, this woman wouldn't have been worth her attention. But upon closer inspection, it was precisely these insignificant people who ultimately influenced the overall situation, which forced her to be on guard.
"Brother, do you have any solution?"
Yu Lang smiled lightly, "I heard that Madam Xie has high hopes for Xie Yin. If he really gets involved with that divorced woman, I wonder if Madam Xie will agree."
With that, the Queen Mother lowered her gaze and curled her lips. She had a good relationship with Madam Xie in her youth. But after she became Queen, due to this particular situation, the two had drifted apart. However, it wasn't to the point of utterly estranged.
Yu Lang spoke a few more words to the Queen Mother and then bowed and left.
"What is Anle doing?" Empress Dowager Yu asked the nanny beside her.
"The eunuch who went to deliver the medicinal food came back and said that the princess was reading a storybook in her study."
Empress Dowager Yu looked like she was a child who could not be taught without punishment. "You are not young anymore, but you still think you are a child."
In Anle Palace, Princess Anle, who was missed by the Queen Mother, was leaning on the couch and carefully flipping through the storybook in her hands. Her phoenix eyes sparkled with proud light, and her red lips added some charm when they were curved.
"You're old enough to become a nun, yet you're a complete mess even at housekeeping, and yet you're still leisurely here." Empress Dowager Yu walked in, and the maid who was massaging her legs hurriedly stood up and saluted. The empress dowager gave her a look, and all the servants in the room retreated.
Anle lazily stood up and lay on the Queen Mother, "Mother, I want to go out and play. It's too boring to stay in the palace all the time."
"The Queen Mother doesn't like the hustle and bustle outside, and I'm worried about asking them to take you out. It's best to give up this idea as soon as possible."
Princess Anle's eyes flashed, "How about Xie Yin? He is the best at playing, and he is also a martial arts expert. He is also the person that His Majesty trusts the most. There should be no problem following him."
The Queen Mother smiled, "Don't you dislike him? You're always in a bad mood when you see him. Why are you bringing him up again now?"
Anle raised an eyebrow, "I just can't stand his arrogant look. Wouldn't it be disgusting for him to be my bodyguard? As long as I can disgust him, I'll be happy."
This is one of the reasons. Another reason is that she hasn’t seen that guy for a few days and she wants to know what he is busy with.
The Queen Mother snorted and chuckled, then stood up and said, "You'd better be more careful, otherwise he would have been snatched away by that divorced daughter of the Su family."
An Le's expression, which had been full of satisfaction just now, suddenly changed. "What Su family girl?"
"I only heard about it, but if you don't have that thought, then I won't have to worry."
Looking at the figure of Empress Dowager Yu, Anle fell into deep thought, "Luwu!"
"Princess."
"Send someone to find out about the daughter of the Su family who divorced and returned home."
"Yes."
Su Wan had no idea someone was thinking of her so much. After two days of travel, they had already reached the outskirts of Beijing. It was early summer, and the air was filled with a warm yet slightly hot atmosphere. Su Wan was fanning herself in the carriage when she heard a commotion outside.
"Liu Shang, what happened outside?"
Liu Shang, who was sitting on the shaft of the cart, turned around and said, "It seems like a group of refugees are gathering at the teahouse now."
"Refugees?" Su Wan opened the curtains and looked ahead. Under the bright sun, a group of ragged people were queuing up, waiting for alms from the tea shop.
Since Dachang's migration south, the nation has weakened, its military forces are scarce, and its borders are frequently invaded by neighboring states. The imperial court, helpless, has relied on the private armies of aristocratic families and the recruitment of refugees to defend its territory. These individuals, driven by a desire for survival, have fought bravely on the battlefield, pledging to defend their homeland to the death, yet this has also been tempered by a certain brutality. Some, however, have taken advantage of this situation to stir up rebellion, attempting to exploit the chaos.
Coupled with the open and covert struggles among the aristocratic families, some rising generals took advantage of this opportunity to stir up trouble, making the local situation even more chaotic and the people's lives miserable. Su Wan looked at the ragged people queuing up under the scorching sun, holding broken bowls, and receiving thin porridge. A deep sorrow welled up in her heart.
She once asked her father, puzzled, why he was so constantly worried, since he had decided to stay away from the political disputes. He had simply sighed and said that his country was in trouble, and while he was powerless, he couldn't stay out of it. Now she understood his feelings.
"Let's go quickly. Something feels wrong." Liu Shang urged the two servants.
The servant was about to crack his whip when he saw a refugee standing in line on one side, staring intently at him. He immediately ran over and said, "Good man, please be kind and give us some water and food."
When the people crowded outside heard the voice behind them, they immediately turned around, their eyes like hungry wolves rushing towards them when they saw food.
The guards surrounding the carriage protected Su Wan on one side. One refugee threw away a hidden weapon from the guard's hand and said, "You eat and drink well in the capital, and saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The little charity you give is just scraped out of your pocket, it won't hurt you!"
The guards hurriedly shouted "Back off!"
"Don't worry, everyone. Our master said he was in a hurry to travel and didn't bring much dry food. Here are some. Please move aside and we will give them to you."
As he spoke, Liu Shang handed over a bag of food from the carriage. Most of them were staying at the inn and couldn't bring much with them. This was simply a drop in the bucket for the refugees.
"Don't give it to them yet. These people are starving. If they start snatching it, someone might get killed."
The thousand-man looked at the dry food in Liu Shang's hand and approached, saying, "There's food here, come quickly."
As he spoke, those people pressed forward.
The guards were afraid of causing a loss of life, so they didn't dare to draw their knives.
"Oh no! The horse is frightened!" The servant roared, and the horse's hooves were raised high, and Liushang and the servant on the shaft were thrown off.
Then the horses broke into a frantic gallop, dragging the carriage forward. Su Wan and Liu Yan held onto the sides of the carriage, trying to maintain their balance.
One of the guards jumped on the horse and tried to keep his balance. It was not that he had not thought about stabbing the horse, but the blind horse was obviously crazy. If he was too anxious, the people behind him might be in danger.
“If I go out, I’m afraid there’s still a lot left.”
"Didn't Andy have someone?"
"That's right, Egg Tart can't show up because he needs to wait!"
The horses were running too fast and the people in the carriage were jolted and felt uncomfortable.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Ah!" While Liu Shang was puzzled, a dagger suddenly shot into the carriage. Fortunately, the two of them dodged it in time.
Su Wan said with a stern face: "Now!"
As they were talking, the two of them opened the curtains. Just at this moment, a figure quickly came to the shaft of the carriage, took Su Wan in his arms, and dragged Liuyan with him, and landed steadily on the ground.
