Zhao Tieniu just went to ask Xu Shihuan for instructions. They had been walking for more than three hours and should they stop to rest and have some lunch. But before Xu Shihuan could give the order, he heard Li Xian'er's shout from behind.

"stop!"

She gave the order and the long queue immediately stopped. Xu Shihuan turned around and explained to the two envoys:

"Something seems to have happened behind the scenes, I'll go take a look."

With that said, she turned around and got off the carriage and walked towards the direction of Princess Shuhui. Although the two envoys didn't know what happened, they also knew that something was wrong with the goddess, so they quickly followed her.

Before he could reach the front, Xu Shihuan heard Li Xianer's crazy roar. These days, she has accumulated too much dissatisfaction and grievances. The dowry matter became the last straw that broke her back.

"Why are you still standing there? Didn't you see that the princess is hysterical? Go call the doctor quickly!"

Xu Shihuan roared loudly, and the accompanying guards trembled in fright. The maid named Xia He was the first to react and hurriedly ran to the back to find the accompanying doctor.

Xu Shihuan opened the car curtain and saw Wen Yidi kneeling straight in front of Li Xianer. His face, which was originally as white as jade, was now covered with eye-catching palm prints, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

Li Xianer, on the other hand, acted like a madman, grabbing Wen Yidi's collar and shaking it desperately, shouting that Wen Yidi was plotting against her and should kill him quickly. It's a pity that after she shouted for a long time, none of the guards dared to step forward and take action.

After all, Wen Yidi holds the position of imperial merchant, and Princess Shuhui is about to marry the prince of Siwu Kingdom, so there is no need to cause trouble for her.

"Hahaha, hahaha, you despicable things! I am Princess Shuhui of the Wanhua Kingdom. If you dare not listen to me, I will let the emperor chop off your heads and kill the nine tribes!"

Although Li Xian'er said something powerful, she also knew that she was completely doomed. How could Wen Yidi have the guts to change her dowry? Looking at the entire Wanhua Kingdom, her imperial uncle was the only one who dared to do this.

At this time, the accompanying doctor hurried over. Xu Shihuan then said:

"Doctor, come and have a look! Princess Shuhui suddenly got hysterical and is talking nonsense here. Come and show her."

When Li Xianer heard this, she noticed that Xu Shihuan was coming, and rushed towards her, punching and kicking her while crying:

"Xu Shihuan! Are you proud to see me like this? Did you say something in front of the emperor's uncle that made him so ruthless to me?"

Xu Shihuan's face was filled with impatience. He grabbed Li Xian'er's hands and restrained her with a twist. Seeing that she kept shouting, he had to use one hand to give her a hard blow on the back of the neck. Li Xianer's body went limp and he fell down.

"You cheap businessman, why don't you get out of here! Do you want to delay Princess Shuhui's medical treatment by staying here?"

As she said that, she seemed to be using force, but in fact, she stopped her strength and kicked Wen Yidi. With her kick, Wen Yidi jumped off the carriage and found an inconspicuous place to stand.

The two envoys looked at his red and swollen cheeks with confusion on their faces, wondering what had happened. Xu Shihuan asked the accompanying doctor to get on the carriage, and after some beating, he prescribed some decoction for Li Xianer to make her weak. Then he got out of the car and explained to the two envoys:

[The goddess knew that she had to leave the Kingdom of Wanhua, so she felt angry and took her anger out on the poor servant. However, we have given her a soothing potion. As long as she no longer sees the servant, she will not be irritated and can reach Suu Country safely. 】

Xu Shihuan's words were stumbling, and it was too difficult for her to say such complicated content in Siwu. The two envoys also listened half-heartedly. They only knew that the goddess could not be allowed to see the poor man again.

[Master Xu, that man is very pitiful. Can you find him a carriage to recover from his injuries? As long as he does not get out of the car, the goddess will not see him. 】

What the envoy said was exactly what Xu Shihuan meant. She nodded to the envoy and said quickly:

"The envoy said that Princess Shuhui is about to marry the prince of Siwu Kingdom, and she can no longer have any close contact with the man. Wen Yidi, I don't care why you angered Princess Shuhui today, but from now on First of all, you can’t let Princess Shuhui see you again.”

As she said that, she walked up to Wen Yidi, looked him up and down, made a tut-tut sound, and then said:

"It just so happens that I have to take part in the examination after this trip. I still need a book boy to help me study and write during this journey. I wonder if Mr. Wen would like to be my book boy?"

Wen Yidi lowered his head and said in a very soft voice:

"willing."

"Ah!"

A disdainful smile burst out of Xu Shihuan's mouth, and he joked to the entourage next to him:

"Did you hear that? Mr. Wen said he was willing. However, only lowly students can be the book boys. Isn't it too unfair for Mr. Wen to be a book boy?"

A few brave ones among the entourage actually interrupted:

"Then what's the grievance? Who doesn't know that our Lord Wen was born in a merchant family, and he himself is a lowly citizen. How happy he must be to be Lord Xu's book boy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many people laughed out loud. Although two of them did not laugh, they carefully observed Xu Shihuan's reaction, wanting to know whether her appearance was real or an act.

However, Xu Shihuan was too involved in the drama. They observed for a long time but saw nothing, so they could only dispel all their previous guesses.

[Two friends, I have just made you worried. Let’s rest for a while and eat something before continuing on our way. This servant, I will let him stay in a carriage with me, it will be safer that way. 】

The two envoys had no objection to Xu Shihuan's arrangement and walked straight to the carriage where they had been waiting for lunch.

Xu Shihuan got on another carriage, and seeing Wen Yidi still stunned, he said angrily:

"Master Wen, since you want to be a book boy, you must have the attitude of being a book boy. Are you standing there waiting for me to invite you over?"

Seeing Xu Shihuan's attitude, the people next to him thought that Master Xu's style was comparable to that of Princess Shuhui, and Wen Yidi was in bad luck now.

They watched Wen Yidi carefully get on the carriage, with some sympathy in their eyes.

Unfortunately, they couldn't see what was going on inside the carriage. I saw Xu Shihuan drag Wen Yidi to the seat, put his lips to his ear, and said softly:

"What I just said didn't count. Don't be angry with me."

As she spoke, she took out a bottle of ointment from her arms, took some with her fingers, and gently applied it on Wen Yidi's face.
