Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister
Chapter 236 You Killed Someone
She thought to herself, "Why don't they just rob someone of a hundred taels?"
But looking into Lin Shuyun's eyes, he didn't dare to speak.
The old butler shakily opened the package he carried on his back and took out a cloth bag from the dried biscuits.
"This... I don't have a hundred taels. This fifty taels, plus the two taels of silver in my pocket, is all the money we have. Please, madam, save my young master."
He then knelt down.
"Aunt, don't joke around."
Lin Shuyun also got off the carriage, told the old steward to get up, and pointed to the east.
"Look, that herb over there is anti-inflammatory. You can crush it and apply it to the wound from the wolf bite. It should be effective."
The wolf's mouth is poisonous; ordinary bandaging won't suffice.
"Thank you, Madam Jiang. How much silver is it?" The old steward thanked her profusely.
Lin Shuyun shook her head, "No need, you didn't take our medicine, it's just some herbs that grow by the roadside."
She didn't look closely last night because it was dark, so she only noticed it now.
Sure enough, after applying the herb, Chen Jingfeng seemed to be in less pain and stopped talking nonsense.
Xiaoqing let Chen Jingfeng sit in his carriage.
Chen Ting also climbed up.
Only the old steward remained. Qingfeng led the skinny horse, while the old steward continued to sit with Old Man Xu, and the group continued on their journey.
Chen Ting only had a fever for a while, but after Xiao Qing reminded her to drink more water, the fever subsided, and she looked at Xiao Qing with gratitude.
They started talking a lot more around Xiaoqing.
She had already screamed herself hoarse last night, so she didn't continue to pretend to speak like a man this time.
Although Xiaoqing also disliked Chen Ting's troublesome nature, she didn't say anything for the sake of Chen Jingfeng and the old housekeeper.
Once upon a time, he also had a loyal old servant by his side, but that old servant died before he could enjoy a single good day.
Seeing the old steward always reminded Xiaoqing of the old servant, and she felt a pang of guilt.
Another day passed quickly, and the sun was already setting.
Old Xu asked excitedly, "Girl, what are we eating today?"
I've been looking forward to this meal tonight. It would be so relaxing to lie down and sleep after a delicious meal.
Lin Shuyun is now riding on horseback, while Old Man Xu is riding in the carriage, and Tingni is driving.
Pointing ahead, he said, "There should be an inn up ahead. Old man, are you addicted to sleeping in the wild every day? Why do you insist on sleeping in the wilderness when there's a bed available?"
If you don't find an inn, you sleep in the same place. If you do find an inn, why not stay there? It's not like you don't have money.
"Hehehe, isn't it because your cooking is so good? I just really want to eat your cooking." Old Xu chuckled twice.
After walking for a short while, they found an inn with few people inside, so they all settled in.
The old housekeeper only asked for one room for Chen Jingfeng and Chen Ting, and then busied himself getting medicine for the two of them.
Xiaoqing noticed that his straw sandals were worn out and his exposed feet had some minor cuts and bruises. She knew that the two young masters were fed and drunk well, but she couldn't even bear to buy herself a pair of shoes. Seeing that the size was about right, she gave the old steward a pair of her own shoes.
The old housekeeper refused to accept it, so Xiaoqing left it at their room door.
After taking the medicine and sleeping through the night, Chen Jingfeng's fever subsided considerably. Although his face was still flushed, he was at least able to get up and eat by himself.
The inn offers free white porridge in the morning; anyone who wants some can come down for a drink.
Besides them, there were a few other scattered individuals.
It's pretty good to have some plain porridge when you're out and about; it's better than eating dry food all the time.
While we were eating, a group of people suddenly entered the inn. "Innkeeper, bring out your best wine and meat right away!"
There were five or six men on horseback, and the horses were tied up at the gate.
"Gentlemen, we're almost here." The innkeeper hurriedly urged the waiter to go to the kitchen to call for help.
One of them sat down, took a sip of water, and began to complain, "The adults went back themselves, leaving us in this godforsaken place. Where are we supposed to find them?"
“A frail woman running into the mountains would probably have turned into a pile of bones long ago. How could she possibly be alive now!” another person said.
"Go ahead and search. We need to find the body, otherwise we won't be able to explain ourselves when we get back!"
Jiang Changtian gripped the cup in his hand tightly, and Lin Shuyun placed her hand on the back of his hand, which brought him back to his senses.
"Brother Xiaoqing, are you alright?" Chen Ting accidentally spilled some porridge on Xiaoqing.
"It's nothing." Xiaoqing asked Gu Ru for a handkerchief to wipe herself.
The commotion drew the attention of the five or six people, one of whom gave Xiaoqing several wicked glances.
"That pretty boy is quite good-looking."
The person sitting next to him scoffed, "What are you looking at, you're not a woman, are you? Third brother, you don't have a thing for men, do you?"
"So what if I like this kind of thing? If I didn't have important business to attend to, I would definitely be having a lot of fun!"
Xiaoqing's face was as black as could be.
Then the innkeeper started serving meat and vegetables, and the people began to eat.
"These people seem to be looking for someone?"
As Chen Ting spoke, she couldn't help but glance at Guan Suyi.
She heard this name from Qin Niangzi; it seemed that Jiang Changtian's mother had this name.
Just as everyone was about to leave, the man called "Third Brother" suddenly spoke up, "You guys, stand up."
Tingni asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, is there something you need?"
After being disguised, Ting Ni looked like an ordinary-looking, cheerful young man.
The third brother carefully examined Guan Suying. "Is the person the master wants accompanied by several maids?"
Another person spoke up: "Five, there are only four here, one is missing, it shouldn't be, the appearance doesn't match."
Xiugu, Bailu, Xiazhi, and Shuangjiang were all on tenterhooks.
"Forget it, they can't be here anyway, let's not cause trouble!"
The third brother said from the grassland: "That bitch Guan Suyi, she just knows how to cause trouble for us! When we find the magistrate this time, he will definitely not let her off easily."
The group threw down a silver ingot and left.
Xiugu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. These people were all skilled in martial arts, and they were no match for them.
Lin Shuyun shielded Jiang Changtian, preventing others from noticing the murderous intent in his eyes.
Not long after those people left, Jiang Changtian led Qingfeng and the other three to chase after them.
Lin Shuyun led the old man and others to stop not far from the inn.
"Yunyun, don't worry, Tian'er knows what he's doing." Guan Suyi came over to comfort Lin Shuyun.
"I'm not worried about my husband at all, and you shouldn't worry either, my beautiful lady. Here, have some fruit, we can eat them together." Lin Shuyun took out a pear and handed it to Guan Suyi.
Guan Suying was stunned the moment she received the pear. The taste was exactly the same as the one sent by Consort Xian.
So this is what pears are like?
It turns out she saved me so early on; it was all preordained.
Qin Niangzi leaned closer, "Great! I caught you guys stealing food, I want some too!"
Old Xu also came.
Lin Shuyun had no choice but to give one to everyone, even Chen Jingfeng.
Chen Ting didn't want it, and Lin Shuyun certainly didn't intend to give it to her either.
After a long time, Jiang Changtian and his four companions finally returned, except for the bloodstains on their bodies.
"you……"
"Ah! You've killed someone!"
Chen Ting let out a scream.
