Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Qi Wangsheng dared not linger in Wang Yue's carriage. By daybreak, he was already huddled by the fire, looking pitiful.

However, this trick was completely useless against Lian Rongrong.

Before setting off, Lian Rongrong asked Chun Tao to cook noodles, and the aroma of the seasonings and noodles filled the air.

Watching the Lian family members happily eating bowls of hot noodles, Qi Wangsheng and the others could only silently swallow their saliva.

Wang Yue's gaze swept past everyone and landed on Qi Wangsheng. When their eyes met, Wang Yue nodded slightly.

Such a hint was enough to ignite Qi Wangsheng's hope.

If he could just endure another half day, he could hide in the warm carriage and enjoy a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

After everyone had breakfast, they packed everything up and prepared to set off.

To make it seem more realistic, Qi Wangsheng pleaded for quite a while.

However, the result was obvious: not only Lian Rongrong, but almost no one in the Lian family was willing to say a word for them.

This also includes Wang Yue.

"Chuntao, don't you think Wang Yue is acting very strangely today?"

Inside the carriage, Lian Rongrong gently patted Fu Bao while chatting with Chun Tao.

"What's wrong? I didn't notice anything unusual."

“She always ate noodles with the most gusto in the past, showing no signs of being a young lady from a wealthy family. But today she seemed a little absent-minded.”

Besides, have you noticed that she and that bastard Qi Wangsheng always seem to make eye contact unintentionally?

Chun Tao rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before slowly answering:

"Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true. But that's not surprising."

Before Miss Qi married into the Qi family, Miss Qi often seduced Qi Wangsheng in this way.

The maids have all heard about it. We're all talking about Miss Biao in private..."

Chun Tao stopped talking at this point, after all, those comments were really unbearable to hear.

It's one thing to talk nonsense on ordinary days, but if the young lady hears it, he'll probably get a scolding.

However, Lian Rongrong didn't seem to care much about what the maids talked about; she was still lost in thought.

"If that's what you're saying, then Wang Yue's behavior is even stranger!"

"Even stranger?"

"Yes! Think about it, what does this woman usually like to do the most?"

“Of course, it’s about going against Miss!” Chun Tao blurted out.

"That's right, what she loves most is going against me!"

That's why I find it strange that someone like Wang Yue would give up such a great opportunity to oppose me.

Did you notice that when I said I wouldn't bring Qi Wangsheng's family, Grandmother was still a little hesitant, but Wang Yue didn't make a move at all?

Is that reasonable? And as you just said, there's something ambiguous between her and Qi Wangsheng.

Chuntao hummed in response, then continued somewhat uncertainly:

"Perhaps it's because Miss Biao feels she can't compete with you, and since the General, Madam, and the two young generals all dislike the Qi family, she doesn't dare to say anything more?"

Lian Rongrong smiled and shook her head, saying nothing more, but in her heart she felt that Wang Yue was not such a quiet person.

Something unusual must be going on! It's just that we're missing a "demon-revealing mirror" right now.

After the convoy had been traveling for a while, Wang Yue indeed started causing trouble.

She kept changing her mind, saying she needed to urinate one minute and complaining of stomach pain and wanting hot water the next. For about an hour, this woman never stopped.

Wang Yue's repeated disruptions greatly displeased her companions. According to the original plan, they would reach the border of Kunshan in two more days.

Kunshan is like a clear dividing line; even in winter, it is much colder north of Kunshan than south of it.

Despite the warm clothing and carriages provided for everyone, the dozen or so people driving the carriages still suffered from chapped cheeks due to the cold wind.

Just when it seemed things would get warmer in the south, this young lady kept causing trouble.

Even so, no one dared to say much, after all, she was still the mistress of the Lian family, and a woman.

You can't really stop someone from getting off the bus to relieve themselves.

After all that trouble, Wang Yue arrived at the first gentle slope she had agreed upon with Qi Wangsheng.

Seeing that the time was right, Wang Yue immediately shouted from inside the car, "Ouch, it hurts so much! Stop the car!"

The driver for Wang Yue was Liu Da, the most honest guard in the Lian family. Liu Da also harbored some resentment towards the young lady's antics.

But when he heard that Wang Yue was in excruciating pain in the car, he became worried that something might really be wrong.

Liu Dale stopped the carriage and asked Wang Yue through the tent, "Miss, are you alright?"

"No, my stomach is killing me! Make them stop right now!"

Liu Da didn't dare look into the car, but Wang Yue's voice sounded really serious.

Liu Da responded and hurriedly ran to the carriage where Lian Xiuyan and the old lady were to report.

Upon hearing that her daughter had fallen seriously ill, Lian Xiuyan was immediately filled with anxiety. She told everyone to stop and then went to Wang Yue's carriage.

At this moment, the people in the other carriages also got off.

The Lian family had been fighting on the front lines for many years, and both the father and sons were practically doctors, especially the second son, Lian Yicheng.

Upon hearing that Wang Yue was seriously ill, Lian Rongrong immediately invited her second brother over.

Despite Lian Rongrong's kindness, Wang Yue secretly glared at her.

Even if Lian Yicheng came, Wang Yue wasn't afraid, because she already had a plan.

Lian Yicheng took Wang Yue's pulse, frowned, and said, "You're fine! Your pulse is strong and healthy, even better than mine!"

The moment the words "strong and powerful" were uttered, even Rongrong nearly burst out laughing. It has to be said, her second brother really knows how to flatter.

But Wang Yue was immediately alarmed upon hearing Lian Yicheng's words. "Cousin, although you know some medical skills, do you also understand matters concerning women?"

Lian Yicheng was taken aback by the question; he truly didn't understand matters concerning women.

Seeing Lian Yicheng's discomfiture, Wang Yue felt even more emboldened. Clutching her stomach, she feigned weakness and continued:

"I've come to Kui Shui, how could a grown man like you understand this kind of tenderness?"

"So what do you want? To wait until you're no longer in pain before you leave?" Lian Rongrong sized up Wang Yue, secretly wondering what this woman really wanted to do.

Wang Yue, not to be outdone, looked Lian Rongrong in the eye and shouted loudly:

"I can't let myself die from the pain. I need some hot water and a hot water bottle; maybe if I'm warm, I'll feel much better!"

As soon as Wang Yue finished speaking, Lian Rongrong suddenly revealed a knowing smile.

"Okay, I'll do as my cousin says. Tell them to boil water!"

After leaving Wang Yue's carriage, Chun Tao, who had been following Lian Rongrong, couldn't help but ask:

"Miss, I have a feeling that Miss Biao is deliberately stalling for time."

"You noticed all of that?" Lian Rongrong's lips curled up slightly.

"Hmm. But what exactly is she trying to do?" Chun Tao was still puzzled.

Lian Rongrong suddenly stopped and looked down at the desolate mountains behind the convoy. "I guess she's waiting for someone!"
