After the zombies traveled through time, they were tricked by the villain into becoming a stepmother

When Pei Changjing heard that it was that heartless and mentally ill idiot who did it, he immediately became breathless.

"…How come Chenghua got in touch with the Liu family? How come I didn't know?"

"How can I know what your sister did if you don't know about it? Anyway, my mother said that Princess Chenghua's consort was a classmate of Lin Jinnan, but I didn't listen carefully at the time."

He snorted in frustration, but couldn't control his natural chatterbox nature, so he asked out of curiosity.

"What's the matter? Why do you want to ask this? Who do you want to punish?"

"No, it just suddenly occurred to me that we seem to have such a cousin. Oh, by the way, how old is the cousin of the Gu family? Is she married already?"

Chu Zongyuan sneered, reached out to stroke the slight crease on his sleeve, and answered nonchalantly.

"Have you forgotten the scene a few years ago when Fourth Aunt came back to make a scene in order to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her daughter? She cried and howled, forcing Grandmother, an old noblewoman of the first rank, to go and support the daughter of a fourth rank official. Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."

"Tell the important point!"

"Gu Qiulan is exactly eighteen this year, so it's not too early for her to get married. After all, Liu Jinnan is two years older than me, so he must be anxious to get married. What do you think..."

Having learned almost everything he needed to know, Pei Changjing was too lazy to listen to his cousin's ramblings, so he turned around and left. Chu Suizui was left confused, watching his cousin jump on his horse and leave gracefully under the protection of a group of soldiers.

"No, what does he mean?"

Chu Zongyuan's personal bodyguard knew his master's temper very well, so he didn't say anything random words. He just urged him with a blank expression on his face.

"Third Master, it's time to set off."

"Let's go, let's go. I'll talk to him about this when I get back to Beijing. After all, I'm his cousin. Do you really have to look down on me like this every day? What did I say..."

He climbed onto the horse's back muttering angrily, and when he shook the reins, the horse kicked and trotted away.

Shen Mufeng sat high on the horse, took another deep look at the woman in pink, then whipped his horses and galloped away with a group of soldiers.

Only when those people disappeared did Chu Chi turn around and stare at the big black man standing in front of the carriage acting as the driver. She greeted him politely.

"Hello, you said you are Shen Xiaowu's bodyguard?"

Jiang Chengtao, who already knew that his mistress had been given a nickname, was able to keep his expression under control. No matter how he felt when he looked at this suspected future mistress, he bowed his hands in greeting with extreme respect.

"Miss Chu, I am Jiang Chengtao, and I have been following my master's orders since I was a child. If you and Master Lin have any business in the future, please just tell me."

Lin Youan on the side looked at this person carefully. Judging from his words and actions, the other party responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, with an upright posture and a calm expression. He didn't seem like an ordinary guard or servant, right?

Pei Dingyang, who was standing beside him, was naturally cold and didn't like to talk much, but he was always careful. After noticing the confusion in his friend's eyes, he whispered to him to explain.

"The Jiang brothers under General Shen are both military officers with high ranks. They are the generals of the Shen family."

It became clear after hearing this. Lin Youan suddenly understood.

When his father was alive, he had explained several times some of the rules of the wealthy families. Looking through the history books, it is not difficult to find famous families who like to keep retainers and retainers, to put it bluntly, they are all training right-hand men for the master.

However, these are classes that I have never come into contact with before, so it is inevitable that I feel a little confused.

Zhao Jiuniang came over with a small flower basket in her hand, which contained various tools and fabrics for making hairpins. She smiled and walked forward to take Chu Chi's arm and led him to the carriage.

"Sister Chuchu, let's get in the car quickly. I brought all the tools. The official road is flat and not bumpy. We can stay in the car this afternoon and I will teach you how to make hairpins without delaying our journey."

"Okay, let's go. I'm going to make two of the most beautiful hairpins for Kanan!"

Someone with clumsy hands is always extremely confident in himself. As long as I have seen it, I will definitely be able to do it. If I can't do it, it must be the problem of the materials, not me!

After the two girls, one big and one small, got on the carriage, Jiang Chengtao bowed to the three young men standing on the ground, raised his long legs and sat on the shaft. He shook the reins and gave a gentle call, and the horse took steady steps sensibly.

Don't be fooled by his simple appearance, he is actually very clear-headed. The master kept him here to protect Master Lin, and his biggest role was to guard the suspected future mistress.

Think about what kind of person your master is? Isn't he still a coachman for Miss Chu? When Jiang Chengtao saw this scene for the first time, he almost dropped his eyes in shock.

His master was a very particular person who loved cleanliness. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was arrogant! But looking at the man who was diligently holding the horse and whipping him, he once suspected that someone had taken over his master's body.

Later, he watched the scenes of asking about each other's well-being and showing courtesy more often. Hey, now he has become accustomed to it. His master, a great general, has lowered his status, so how dare he, a small general, put on airs? Just drive the carriage honestly...

This guy is so active inside that he doesn't look like a serious person, but you can't tell from his face that he is quite a character.

Wu Zhongzhao was not afraid of the cold and climbed into the car first. After waiting for a long time, when his friends still didn't get in, he stuck his head out of the car window, sniffed from the cold and shouted hello.

"Ye Xiaoer, what are you doing down there? Come up quickly, it's freezing cold. Youan, didn't you say you wanted to ride in a carriage with us? Why haven't you come up yet?"

"coming!"

The two children looked at each other, raised their eyebrows and smiled, and quickly climbed into the carriage. The driver in front, after making sure that the young masters were seated, also drove the horse to move.

The line was still quite long, even though the soldiers escorted Prince Xuan and his party and left first. However, the Lingqiu County yamen runners were still there, as were the Li family's escorts, the Zhao family's master guards, and many of the people left behind by Shen Mufeng.

All these things added up would be enough for Chen Lingfang to arrange for a while.

Anyway, the official documents on him had been approved by King Xuan, so Chu Zongyuan was allowed to take them away first. Then his remaining responsibility was to escort these people to the capital safely.

There was no urgent pressure, the troublemakers had all left, and there was no need to worry about bandits or assassins popping out to attack at any time.

So the team slowed down a bit and moved forward leisurely.
