Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

Ziyao and others noticed the movement here and immediately stood around in front of their master.

"Master, are you okay?"

Lu Qingqing curled her lips: "Nothing!"

"Girl, are you not hurt? I just happened to be passing by and happened to encounter this scene. Girl, please don't blame me for being abrupt!"

The man was dressed like a scholar, with half a silver hollow mask on his face, and he said to her apologetically.

"Thank you!" Lu Qingqing's cold reply made the man stunned.

Looking at the bodies on the ground, Lu Qingqing shouted to a few people to leave.

"let's go!"

She turned around and got into the carriage. Zi Yue and others behind her also got on the carriage. Ling Feng nodded to the man, then shook off his whip and drove the carriage towards the distance.

The man didn't expect that the Anning County Lord would be so difficult to deal with, but it didn't matter anyway. The goal was achieved this time. Just looking at the corpses on the ground, the man frowned and gestured behind him, and soon several people stepped away. appear before him.

In the carriage, Xia Yun and Bi Yun were sitting around their master, muttering about what had just happened.

"It's really unlucky that we ran into bandits just after we had gone very far." Xia Yun muttered with a gloomy face.

Biyun nodded with fear on his face.

Ziyue, who was standing next to her, saw the sarcastic smile on her master's face and asked in confusion: "Did the master discover something?"

Lu Qingqing smiled mysteriously, raised her eyebrows at a few people and said that she would know it later.

The maids were confused and did not understand what their master meant.

Biyun couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking. He picked up the teapot on the low table and poured a cup of warm water for her.

"Master, drink some water and moisten your throat!"

Lu Qingqing took the tea cup in her hand and stared at the clear and steaming water in a daze. The bandits nearby had been wiped out by her brother in secret a long time ago. This was a secret order from the emperor.

Where are the bandits? And they just left the capital...hehe...

Thinking of this, Qingqing's lips curled into a sneer, and the cold light in her eyes flickered.

Bao'er, who was in the carriage behind, poked his head out of the carriage and asked worriedly: "Sister Ziyao, are you not injured?"

Ziyao raised the corners of her lips and reached out to touch her bun, shaking her head gently.

Huan'er was very envious of Ziyao and the others for their martial arts skills. In the past, her mother always said that they should learn more from the noble girls of aristocratic families and be ladies of the world. Now think about how ridiculous it is and what's the use!

Envious that even Bao'er could learn kung fu, she bravely asked Ziyao outside the carriage: "Miss Ziyao, I...can I still learn kung fu at this time?"

"Ah? You seem to be in a bit of trouble, but if you want to defend yourself, you can go to the master and ask for some poisonous powder!"

Huan'er was still very disappointed after hearing the previous words, but when she thought about how old she was, she had to start learning kung fu from childhood, so she felt relieved. As for the medicinal powder that was lying around, it seemed that she had to go to her master to ask for it if she had the chance. .

The carriage passed by a village slowly and leisurely.

At this time, Chu Haochen from the capital dragged his tired body back to the princess mansion, and Mo Er immediately handed the letter to him.

"Master, this was sent by the county master yesterday."

Chu Haochen sat in front of the case and rubbed the tiredness on his brows. When he heard Mo Er's words, he cheered up instantly, took the letter, and opened it.

Mo Er stepped aside and watched his master's face getting darker and darker as he read the letter.

"Damn it! This girl can't run very fast!"

When Mo Er heard his master's words, he guessed that the county master must have left the capital!

"Master, what the Emperor wants to investigate this time is Mr. Chen, the Minister of Rites!"

A cold smile appeared on Chu Haochen's lips. Chen Yu also had a clinging temperament. If the emperor hadn't seen some clues this time, he wouldn't have given him a secret order to investigate him.

His son and Xiao Ziyi occasionally get together, but I don’t know...

"Master, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Chen's family has sent invitations to pay homage to her over and over again, but the princess has rejected her invitations. Ms. Chen is quite persistent."

Mo Er didn't know what Chen Lanhui was thinking about his master. He glanced at the corner of his mouth and said, hum! Even if the mistress is not here, if you want to get close to the master, it still depends on whether Mo Er answers or not!

If Chu Haochen knew what his subordinates were thinking at this time, he would be so angry that he would laugh!

Since Chen Lanhui came back from the last palace banquet, she was so frightened that she was sick for several days before she could even get out of bed.

"Yizhu, Yizhu, I want to drink water."

Chen Lanhui slowly sat up from the bed and shouted outside in a hoarse voice, and soon Yizhu's voice came.

"The lady is here."

Yizhu walked toward the inner room with hot tea. When she saw her master sitting by the bed, her face improved a lot, and he stretched out his hand towards her forehead.

"Miss, your fever is gone. It seems that the medicine prescribed by the doctor is still effective." Yizhu said happily.

Chen Lanhui drank a sip of hot tea in a daze, which eased the hoarse and unpleasant sound in her throat.

Listening to the chaotic sounds outside the yard, Chen Lanhui frowned and asked Yizhu beside her.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Yizhu glanced outside the door and said hesitantly that a matchmaker would come to the front yard today to marry the second young lady.

"It's true, Master and Madam, there is obviously a young lady above, so why is there no one to take care of the young lady's life-long affairs!"

The more Yizhu talked, the angrier he became, and his eye circles were red with anger.

Chen Lanhui smiled sarcastically and muttered that even if the madam let her see her, would it be fine? The good ones can be given to her!

"But miss..."

"Okay, stop talking!" Chen Lanhui rubbed her eyebrows and waved to Yizhu, who was chattering away.

Yizhu saw the tired look on her master's face as he was recovering from a serious illness, and asked the lady distressedly what she wanted to eat. She went to the kitchen to bring it.

She secretly murmured in her heart that fortunately, the step-wife was very good at showing off, and was also a very face-saving person. She did not treat their master and servants too harshly in terms of food and food.

They didn't know that this was what her good father had told her, and they couldn't let any words harmful to his official position come out in the capital, so they beat the lady in advance.

Chen Lanhui once went to pay her respects to her good mother. Her son heard what her father said to her and wanted to use herself to win over Mr. Hai from the Ministry of Justice and marry her to the crippled Mr. Hai.

From then on, she began to plan for herself. She must find her ideal husband before her parents facilitated this matter, otherwise she could only become a pawn in their hands.

"Yizhu, have you received any response to the post I sent to the Princess Mansion before?"

Yizhu lowered his head in embarrassment and whispered that he was rejected! The housekeeper of the Princess Mansion said that Princess Changning was unwell today and would not be able to see guests, so...

Chen Lanhui's grip on the quilt tightened little by little. She couldn't sit still and wait, otherwise it would be too late.
