Chapter 110: There is still a lingering fear, and there is a tail behind
"From now on, we must be more careful whenever we camp outdoors."
After settling down, Shen Xiangwan slumped in the chair. Natural disasters are the most uncontrollable. If you are not careful, you may lose your life at any time.
"That's right. Today was really thrilling."
Zhao Yuping, who was standing by, took over the conversation with lingering fear. When the mountain slid for the first time, she stuck her head out to take a look and was so scared that she almost lost her soul. It was too horrible. If they had been a little bit later, they would have been buried in the mudslide.
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, thank goodness you are here."
Wei Linger hurriedly nodded in agreement. Even now, she still felt scared.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Holding her shoulders with concern, Wei Chenghe comforted her softly.
"Ah."
Leaning on him with confidence, Wei Linger nodded vigorously. This time she was really a little scared.
"Don't worry. From now on, whenever you camp outdoors, I will be responsible for keeping watch."
Looking at his mother and siblings respectively, Wei Chengyi reached out and held Shen Xiangwan's hand, his eyes filled with naked heartache. When he was exiled at the beginning, because of the verbal agreement with him, his wife had always taken the responsibility of protecting his mother and the others. Later, it seemed to have become a habit. It seemed that she seemed to have forgotten that he could be relied on. Moreover, now that he had detoxified and his martial arts had improved, it was her turn to rely on him.
"Ah."
Nodding, Shen Xiangwan withdrew his hand and stood up: "Ling'er, come with me downstairs to cook."
I have been traveling in a hurry today. I have been eating dry food in the morning and at noon. I have to have a snack in the evening.
"it is good."
She really needed to do something to divert her attention, and Wei Ling'er immediately stood up.
"Aunt, drink milk."
When he heard the word "cooking", the little cub who was playing nearby jumped over to Shen Xiangwan.
"Well, let grandma change it for you."
Shen Xiangwan smiled softly as he took out a ceramic jar of milk powder from his bag.
"it is good."
Holding the pottery jar in both hands, the little cub turned and walked towards Zhao Yuping: "Grandma, drink milk."
"Okay, okay, grandma will get it for you right away."
Looking at her grandson's cute appearance, Zhao Yuping couldn't help but laugh.
"let's go."
Seeing this, Shen Xiangwan and Wei Linger nodded, and they turned around one after the other.
"Second Master... Madam."
Just as they were about to go out, Qingying hurriedly walked in from outside and almost bumped into Shen Xiangwan who was walking in front. Fortunately, he was very skilled in martial arts and steadied his steps in time and took two steps back.
"problem occurs?"
Shen Xiangwan frowned barely noticeably. Qingying had always been a steady person, so it must be something big that could make him so anxious.
"this···"
Qingying hesitated for a moment, and looked towards Wei Chengyi in the room for help. Wei Chengyi sighed helplessly in his heart, stood up and walked over to Shen Xiangwan, put his arm around her shoulder, and pushed her outside: "Go cook, I'm really hungry, just leave the things here to me."
"...Okay, let me know if you need any help."
Looking back and forth at them, Shen Xiangwan did not force them, and took Wei Linger downstairs after she finished speaking. After watching the two figures disappear from sight, Wei Chengyi turned around and said, "Mom, Chenghe, you take An Ge'er to the next door, I have something to talk to Qingying about."
"it is good."
Zhao Yuping and her son had no objection and quickly took the child out.
Wei Chengyi sat down at the table again, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea: "What's the matter?"
"Second Master, the guards hiding in the dark just sent a message that we have a presence behind us. There are about dozens of them, two of whom are masters, and the rest are all innate masters. They seem to be very good at hiding their whereabouts. If it weren't for today's accident, we would not have been able to find them. We didn't want to alert the enemy, so the guards didn't dare to get too close. Judging from their clothes alone, they look a lot like the Dragon Shadow Guards who attacked you at night."
Qingying said with a serious expression that they were not sure at the moment how long those people had been following them. The only thing that was certain was that they were probably waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to ambush them like they did to those bandits last time.
"is it?"
Raising his eyebrows, Wei Chengyi picked up the teacup and took a few sips slowly: "Let's go out tonight."
Regardless of whether those people are Dragon Shadow Guards or not, he will not let them disturb his wife and mother again. Since they are here, they can all stay.
"Yes."
After understanding what he meant, Qingying clasped his fists and bowed respectfully.
"Don't tell Wanwan about this. She is too tired and needs a good rest."
Just as he was about to retreat, Wei Chengyi's voice rang out again.
"Yes."
This time, Qingying agreed with him from the bottom of her heart. Madam had done enough.
"Ah."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi closed his eyes, bowed and retreated. When no one was watching, his deep eyes opened again, reflecting a terrifying brilliance. Since the emperor was not giving up, he would make sure that all the people he sent out would never return. He wanted to see how many people he had.
Downstairs, head to the kitchen corner.
"Second sister-in-law, she is the concubine of the Shen family, right?"
When Shen Xiangwan and Wei Linger went downstairs to cook, they happened to see Shen Xiangping hiding in the corner, shivering and crying. Wei Linger pulled her clothes and asked in a low voice. If it were in the past, she would probably have felt pity, but now, she was just watching.
"Ok."
Shen Xiangwan nodded vaguely and continued to walk forward, without any intention of interfering in other people's affairs. She knew with her knees that it must be the Shen family that bullied her again. Maybe she was indeed a little pitiful, but she did not sympathize with her. Even though she had been forced to follow Zhao Shan by the Shen family before, what about after that?
As far as she knew, Zhao Shan treated her quite well. At least he did not ignore her like other escorts who slept with her once or twice. Any smart person should have taken the opportunity to please Zhao Shan, seek his protection, and draw a clear line between herself and the Shen family. When she arrived in Chenzhou, she could ask Zhao Shan to find a way to set up a female household for her. She would no longer have to rely on the Shen family and would not be manipulated by them. It was she who gave the Shen family the opportunity to manipulate her at will.
Shen Xiangwan didn't pay any attention, let alone Wei Ling'er. Although she was only thirteen years old, she knew very well that she needed the protection of her brothers and sisters-in-law, and she had no right to meddle in other people's affairs.
"Wanwan, Ling'er, you are here too."
"Second cousin, Ling'er."
In the kitchen, seeing them come in, the women of Wei Jingyi and Wei Jinghan's families hurriedly wiped away their tears and took the initiative to greet them.
"What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that all of them had red eyes, Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"No, it's nothing."
Waving her hands, Wei Jingyi's wife Wan wiped her tears again. Others wanted to say something, but seeing her like this, they dared not say anything and could only shed tears silently.
