Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

Dong Jingtang asked Butler Sun to prepare the carriage. It seemed that Afu had to go, but after counting around, there was no one who could escort her.

They couldn't rest assured if she was allowed to go on the road alone.

At this time, Dong Jingtang thought of Cui Qiyan.

He and Afu have the same destination, and he still has some skills, so protecting Afu shouldn't be a problem.

And he told Afu this, and he must be responsible for the consequences.

However, Dong Jingtang still had doubts about his intentions. If he did it on purpose, he was sure that after Afu found out, he would go to Yangzhou without hesitation so that he could continue to pester Afu. Wouldn't that be a sheep in a tiger's mouth? Already?

Therefore, before making a decision, Dong Jingtang had to ask clearly. If he found anything wrong, he would never entrust Ah Fu to her.

Dong Jingtang went out and was about to get on the carriage when he caught a glimpse of a figure from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw that the person he was looking for was standing at the wall of his house.

He raised his feet and changed direction, Dong Jingtang walked towards Cui Qiyan.

"Since Mr. Cui is here, why don't you go in?"

Cui Qiyan raised his hand and saluted, very calmly.

"If Mr. Dong doesn't come out, there is no need for me to go in and disturb you."

Dong Jingtang stood still in front of him, "Are you waiting for me?"

"It's getting late. I don't want Mr. Dong to jostle back and forth, so I'll just wait here. If Mr. Dong wants to see Xiaguan, he can see him when he goes out."

"Master Cui is so talented that he can predict the hearts of so many people."

"I don't dare to do this. I just know a little bit about Miss Dong's temperament, and I also know Lord Dong's love for his daughter."

Dong Jingtang said with a straight face: "Is your purpose of telling Afu just to lure her to go to Yangzhou with you? Otherwise, why didn't you just tell me this morning that the doctor who had the accident was her master?"

"Xiaguan never meant this." Cui Qiyan met his gaze and said, "Xiaguan does have selfish motives. I didn't tell you because I wanted to tell her personally. This is my chance to see her. I I don’t want to miss it, otherwise I won’t know when I can see her again.”

"I don't want her to run around, but if she makes up her mind to go, I will take care of her along the way."

Cui Qiyan's frank words made Dong Jingtang's expression soften, but he still warned: "Behave on the road. I agree with you to go with Afu, but I don't let you do whatever you want. If you dare to bully her, I don't care if you Whatever your identity is, I will never forgive you!"

"Master Dong, I did have excessive thoughts about her in the past. This was my fault. But during the time when she left, I figured it out and I will respect her wishes."

Cui Qiyan solemnly said: "I promise you that this trip is only to protect her safety and will never go beyond the limits."

Seeing that his attitude was sincere and not fake, Dong Jingtang felt relieved.

"Remember what you said, go ahead and come back tomorrow at Tatsuki."

This is a pass. Cui Qiyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I will arrive on time tomorrow. I'll take my leave."

Seeing him riding away, Dong Jingtang also turned around and went back.

"Master, are you still leaving?" the coachman asked.

Dong Jingtang waved his hand, "Go back home."

Xu Yiwan was startled when she saw Dong Jingtang coming back, "Coming back so soon? What should I do about Afu?"

Dong Jingtang glanced at Dong Jiafu and said, "Afu, you can go if you want. Let's go with the boy from Duke Dingguo's mansion and set off at midnight tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, both Xu Yiwan and Dong Jiafu were greatly surprised.

"How can you let Afu be with that person?" Xu Yiwan frowned, not very happy.

Dong Jingtang comforted him: "Don't worry, he promised me that he doesn't dare to do anything to Ah Fu. Ah Fu can't go alone. They are on the same journey, so it's always good to have him take care of her."

"In such a short period of time, you met him?" Xu Yiwan said in disbelief.

"That guy is very smart. He is sure that Afu will go. If we don't worry, we will think of him. He has been waiting outside the door and said he would save me the trouble of running back and forth."

Dong Jingtang, whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, could not help but feel a little angry when talking about what happened just now.

Dong Jiafu couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard this. He was really "considerate". I think he came here directly after coming out of the teahouse.

Dong Jingtang quickly returned to normal, "That's it. Let's pack our things quickly."

After he reminded her, Xu Yiwan forgot about her entanglements and immediately got off the couch.

"Yes, Afu has been away for many days and has to bring all the things he needs."

"Master has to rush there as soon as possible, so just bring some necessary items." Dong Jiafu went to pack her luggage with her.

During dinner in the evening, Dong Jingtang told Dong Jiabao and Dong Jialin about Dong Jiafu's return to Yangzhou.

After hearing this, Dong Jialin didn't care about eating, put down his chopsticks and said, "How can you let Ah Fu be with that person? No, I have to follow."

"Second brother is not looking for a shop recently, where can he get away?" Dong Jiafu said.

"You have to do it even if you can't, but I can't let you suffer!"

Dong Jiabao also spoke: "Afu, you don't have to consider us. If you don't want to go with the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, I can go with you."

"Thank you to the eldest brother and the second brother. I'm fine. Besides, we're not the only ones on the road. Xia Zhi and Maofeng will also be following us. The eldest brother is concentrating on preparing for the exam, and the second brother is preparing for the new store. Will the teahouse be settled when I come back? "Dong Jiafu said with a smile.

Dong Jingtang said: "Okay, you two, please don't cause any trouble. Everything has been arranged. Each of you should do your own thing and wait for Afu to come back."

Xu Yiwan brought some food to Dong Jiafu, "Afu, hurry up and eat. Everything you cook tonight is what you like. You have to leave tomorrow. You will definitely have to suffer while sleeping and eating on the road. Eat more."

Dong Jiafu nodded, "Mother eats it too."

Before midnight on the second day, Cui Qiyan and Ji Bai came to Dong Mansion early to wait.

Dong Jiafu was sent out by the whole family after breakfast.

"Master Dong, Mrs. Dong." Cui Qiyan stepped forward.

"Mr. Cui has been kept waiting for a long time. Why don't you go in and have a cup of hot tea?" Dong Jingtang said politely.

"Miss Dong is going to travel far away. She must have a lot to say to her family. I won't interrupt you."

Maofeng drove the carriage over, "Master, madam, the luggage is all packed."

These words were like a switch, turning on Xu Yiwan's tear ducts.

She held Dong Jiafu's hand with red eyes, and warned reluctantly: "Don't be too anxious to rush on, your health is important, take care of yourself. If you lose weight when you come back, my mother won't let you go."

Dong Jiafu responded with a smile: "I have written it down. Don't worry about me too much, mother. I will come back as soon as the master is fine."

"Okay..." Xu Yiwan turned her head and wiped her tears.

"Get in the car." Dong Jingtang walked over and said to Cui Qiyan, "My little girl, please leave it to Master Cui."

"Don't worry, Mr. Dong, I will protect her both in public and in private."

Cui Qiyan looked back and watched Dong Jiafu get on the carriage, saluted Dong Jingtang, turned around, got on the horse, and rode forward.
