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

While Lian Rongrong and Chun Tao were talking, Qi Yuan was watching them with a complicated look from inside the carriage not far away.

He hadn't spoken to Lian Rongrong for half a day, and the heartless girl seemed completely oblivious to it.

Looking at Lian Rongrong's shrewd eyes, Qi Yuan was even a little dazed and confused.

He had thought that Lian Rongrong treated him differently, but at this moment, Qi Yuan began to lose confidence.

In this woman's heart, what exactly is he? Is he a part of a scheme, or just an insignificant passerby?

Qi Yuan irritably lowered the curtain, blocking his gaze from Lian Rongrong.

Qi Yuan knew that Wang Yue was probably going to be in trouble again, but he couldn't muster any interest in these things that were originally quite interesting.

Because of Wang Yue's antics, all the guards and maids in the family had to get busy.

Setting up a fire and boiling water took almost half an hour. After five or six hot water bottles were delivered into Wang Yue's carriage, the young lady complained of being hungry again.

It was almost noon, so everyone decided to prepare a meal.

Meanwhile, Lian Rongrong, who should have been the most impatient, was sitting in the carriage eating melon seeds and potato chips with Chun Tao.

"Miss, why aren't you worried at all? Miss Biao is obviously plotting something."

"A conspiracy? When it comes to conspiracies, no one can beat your young lady. Just eat your food, there'll be plenty of fun to watch in a bit!"

Chun Tao put a potato chip in her mouth with some doubt, while Fu Bao next to her drooled with envy.

About half an hour later, everyone had finished lunch, and Wang Yue finally stopped causing trouble.

After finishing the last mouthful of porridge in her bowl, Lian Rongrong smiled and instructed Chun Tao:

"Go ask Miss Biao if she feels any discomfort?"

Although Chuntao didn't know what her mistress meant, she still obediently did as she was told.

In just a moment, Chun Tao returned to Lian Rongrong's side with a droopy face.

"Why do you look like this? Did Wang Yue bully you again?" Lian Rongrong asked, frowning.

Chuntao shook her head and replied, "No, not at all."

Ever since Miss stood up for Qiuju and me, Miss Biao has never made things difficult for us again.

However, she was in a bad mood today.

I just went over to ask her if she was feeling unwell anywhere, and she told me to get lost!

"Didn't you see Wang Yueren?"

"No. Miss Biao's car is completely covered up; you can't see anything!"

Chun Tao answered truthfully, but seemed unaware that something was amiss.

In contrast, Lian Rongrong, standing to the side, was smiling particularly brightly.

"Miss, why are you so happy?" Chun Tao asked, puzzled.

Lian Rongrong winked meaningfully at Chun Tao, then replied in a relaxed and contented manner:

"Those people you hate will soon get what they deserve. Aren't you happy about that?"

Lian Rongrong didn't explain further, and Chun Tao wisely refrained from pressing the matter.

The rest of the journey went smoothly, and Wang Yue didn't cause any more trouble. The only unusual thing was that Wang Yue ate an unusually large amount at dinner.

However, this was nothing to the group, who were exhausted from their journey. Except, of course, for Rongrong.

Because of Wang Yue's delay in the morning, the group had to spend the night in the mountains again.

For the Lian family, who already have some experience, spending the night in the wild is no longer a big deal.

The maids and guards methodically tidied everything up. The fire was lit, and everyone took their positions.

According to the schedule, Xiao Liu, Chen Si, and Liu Da will be on night duty at three different times tonight.

Lian Rongrong had specifically instructed the three of them early on to keep a close eye on the movements of Miss Biao.

After all, Miss Biao was feeling quite unwell today. Not only that, but Rongrong also instructed the three of them to report immediately if there was any movement, and not to act on their own.

Besides Liu Da, Chen Si and Xiao Liu also sensed something unusual.

However, for everyone, the Third Miss is the backbone of the entire team.

Sometimes, she was even more astute and intelligent than the general and the young general.

Chen Si and Xiao Liu were both willing to stand on the side of the Third Miss, so they dared not neglect Lian Rongrong's instructions in the slightest.

Just after midnight, after Chen Si and Xiao Liu took over, the first thing they went to was Wang Yue's carriage. He listened carefully for a while, but there seemed to be nothing unusual inside.

Just as Chen Si was about to leave stealthily, a rustling sound suddenly came from inside Wang Yue's carriage.

Along with the sound came a soft, restrained panting.

Chen Si, being a married man himself, immediately understood what was happening inside the carriage.

But who could be the man in Miss Biao's car right now? Chen Si racked his brains, thinking of all the men in the group, and finally decided that Qi Yuan was the most likely candidate.

After all, apart from that boy, none of the guards in the Lian family could catch the eye of Miss Biao.

But wasn't Qi Yuan and Miss deeply in love? How come he's suddenly hooking up with Miss Biao?

Thinking of this, Chen Si suddenly stopped in his tracks. He slapped his forehead and muttered:

"No wonder Miss told us to keep an eye on Miss Biao's movements. She must have discovered something and wants to catch them in the act."

Imagining Qi Yuan harming Lian Rongrong, Chen Si became extremely angry. He quickened his pace and walked towards Lian Rongrong's carriage.

"Miss, I am Chen Si." Chen Si stood respectfully beside the carriage, his voice very low.

Upon hearing this, Lian Rongrong suddenly opened her eyes. She seemed to have anticipated the outcome tonight, which was why she had been half asleep and half awake.

Lian Rongrong sat up, opened the small window on the tent, and asked Chen Si:

"What? Is there some movement over there?"

"As expected, Miss Qi Yuan really did go to meet Miss Qi Yuan under the cover of night!"

Chen Si didn't realize that his guesses and assumptions were merely his own wild guesses. But his nonsensical speculations completely baffled Lian Rongrong!

"What did you say?" Lian Rongrong felt her heart suddenly race. She looked at the carriage far away and murmured, "What did you say?"

"You mean the person with Wang Yue is Qi Yuan?"

Lian Rongrong's behavior surprised Chen Si, but he still didn't react. Instead, he asked Lian Rongrong in return:

"Didn't Miss already know?"

The nonsensical conversation between master and servant annoyed Lian Rongrong. She stopped talking to Chen Si, dressed, and jumped off the carriage.

"Don't alert anyone yet, come with me to take a look!" Lian Rongrong instructed Chen Si as she quickened her pace.

When she arrived at Wang Yue's carriage, the sounds inside were still going on. Lian Rongrong, who had originally thought she would have a great time, suddenly hesitated.

Just because of one sentence from Chen Si, she was in a state of turmoil. Although she felt that the man inside could not be Qi Yuan, she still couldn't help but worry and overthink.

"Miss, shall we just stand here?" Chen Si cautiously reminded her when he saw that Lian Rongrong hadn't moved for a while.

Lian Rongrong snapped out of her daze, finally took a deep breath, steadied herself, and shouted:

"Cousin, are you alright?"
