She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband

Chapter 135: Meeting at the city gate, siblings getting along

Qin Chongxiao had no time to explain his suspicions and urged, "Miss Li, let's go now while the defense is relaxed."

Li Jingwan knew that she couldn't persuade him to leave, so she could only get up.

"Brother Qin, even if you find out something, you have to spread the news."

"If you trust me, tell me how to get in touch with you."

Her eyes, even in the darkness, looked bright and full of determination to move forward.

Although he was alone, Qin Chongxiao didn't want to drag other people into it. The fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be.

But what Li Jingwan said made sense, and he naturally trusted her, so he no longer hesitated.

"Xirong Capital, Saint Medical Hall, I go there to get medicine on the first and fifteenth day of every month."

"I remember that." Li Jingwan said solemnly, "Brother Qin, you must be more careful. I will meet up with you on the first day of next month."

Qin Chongxiao nodded gently, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Brother Qin, you must be careful." Li Jingwan said reluctantly, "The eldest lady is still in the capital. She will definitely be very happy to see you."

"I will." Qin Chongxiao said, "Miss Li, be careful on the road."

Li Jingwan nodded, looked at him deeply, then turned around and walked forward quickly.

Qin Chongxiao stood there for a long time, watching her figure gradually disappear into the darkness ahead.

Now, he is finally no longer fighting alone and has hope in his heart.

He still had many questions to ask and much to say, and hoped that they would have time to sit down and talk in detail next time they met.

-

According to Qin Chongxiao's arrangement, Li Jingwan indeed found a horse after walking a few miles.

After riding until dawn, we finally left the area where the camp was located and saw a small market.

She then went to rent a carriage, and the coachman spoke fluent Shengchao dialect.

The Sheng Dynasty had a huge influence on the Western Rong. The closer to the northwestern border, the more people there were who could speak the Sheng Dynasty dialect, and the better they spoke it.

The coachman was a talkative man. He said he had done business in Tacheng, but had recently returned to Xirong because of the tense situation on the border and was making a living at home.

He asked Li Jingwan why she was alone. Li Jingwan said that she also did some small business in Tacheng and came to Reduo to do some work. Now she rented his carriage to go out of the city to pick up her family.

"Girl, are you going to pick up your husband?" the coachman asked with a smile.

"Yes." Li Jingwan admitted what he said, and this was also a message to him that she was not alone.

The construction style of Reduo is different from that of the city in Sheng Dynasty. It has only one city gate. As long as you enter the city gate, you are in the city even if you are on the grass.

Because the border of Reduo is short and guarded by soldiers, it is difficult for outsiders to cross the border unless they are officers and soldiers, and they can only go through the city gate.

This method of enclosure resulted in a very large area of ​​land within the city of Reduo, and people entering and leaving the city gate were concentrated in one place every day, resulting in a very long waiting time.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour and finally arrived at the city gate. There were many people queuing in front to leave the city.

Li Jingwan agreed with the coachman to take her out of the city.

If she had to be questioned by the guards at the city gate when leaving the city, it would be easier for the coachman, who was a Western Rong man, to get through it than for her, a woman from the Sheng Dynasty, to face it alone.

After waiting in line for a while, Li Jingwan was leaning against the wall of the car and drowsy when she heard a noise coming from the front.

She opened the window and looked forward, asking the groom, "What's wrong?"

"Several people were stopped from entering the city, and the guards at the gate wanted to take them away."

The groom raised his chin and tried to look, "The one who was stopped was from the Sheng Dynasty..."

Before she finished speaking, Li Jingwan opened the door of the car and got out. When she took a few steps forward and saw the person who was stopped, her eyes suddenly widened.

At this time, at the city gate, the guard said sternly in Sheng Dynasty dialect, "There is an order from above. All suspicious Sheng Dynasty men are not allowed to enter or leave. They must be detained for questioning first."

Chu Tingyu's face was calm, with a hint of flattering smile, "Brother Guard, we are here to do business in Reduo, may I ask if there is anything suspicious?"

"You are doing business, why do you come here empty-handed? What kind of business do you do? Which store? If you can't explain it clearly, it's suspicious."

Chu Tingyu felt secretly uneasy.

Although the situation between the two countries was tense, they did not go to war and their exchanges were not affected.

Normally, people entering and leaving the city would just be randomly checked and asked a few questions, why are they being interrogated in such detail now?

He continued with a smile, "Brother Shouwei, we are engaged in tea and medicinal materials business in Tacheng. This time we came to Reduo to investigate whether we can expand the business, so we haven't opened a store yet."

The guard scolded, "Who knows if what you said is true? If you can't explain it clearly, just go away. Someone will come to check on you later."

Chu Tingyu looked at the troops around him, there were about twenty people, and he only brought Qi Ming and four others.

If we force our way out, we have a chance of winning, but we don't know if there are any hidden troops nearby.

"Go and wait." the guard shouted.

Qi Ming and his companions were already on high alert and were ready to take action as soon as Chu Tingyu gave the order.

When the atmosphere was tense, a female voice sounded——

"Husband."

Then, a woman ran over and hugged Chu Tingyu's arm, "Husband, I just arrived too, and was about to wait for you outside the city gate."

The sudden intruder startled everyone.

Chu Tingyu was not used to being so intimate with a woman for the first time. When he was about to shake off her arms, he found that the person was actually Li Jingwan!

For a moment, shock, surprise, loss and recovery, and other emotions surged into Chu Tingyu's heart. He was speechless and just stared at Li Jingwan.

Qi Ming and others were also very surprised when they saw Li Jingwan.

Li Jingwan blinked at Chu Tingyu and continued, "Husband, why are you standing here? I said from a distance that she looked like you."

Chu Tingyu finally reacted at this time, with a smile on his face and an intimate tone, "The guard brother was questioning us. I said we were here to see if there were any business opportunities, but he said we were suspicious."

Li Jingwan turned around and looked at the guard. "Brother Guard, please don't wrongly accuse my husband. We are both honest businessmen who came to Reduo to look for business opportunities. I arrived a few days ago, but my husband was delayed by something, so I only arrived today."

"I'm here to pick them up. If you don't believe me, you can ask my driver." Li Jingwan pointed at the coachman next to her, "He can testify."

The coachman quickly smiled and explained to the guard in Xirong language.

Chu Tingyu could understand the Xirong language. The coachman said that they were indeed doing business. The woman went into the city first, and today she rented his carriage to meet her husband at the city gate and take him into the city.

He also told the guard his address, and if he didn't believe him, he could send someone to ask.

While they were talking, Chu Tingyu kept holding Li Jingwan's hand, as if he was worried that she would suddenly disappear.

With the testimony of the locals, the guard finally gave up his suspicion and let them pass. "Go in."

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Guard. We will go outside the city to get some things first. We will trouble you to make some arrangements when we enter the city later."

As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot and secretly handed it over, "We have to go in and out of Reduo these days, and it will inevitably cause you trouble. Please accept this little gift."

She was beautiful and capable, and after the guard received the silver, a smile appeared on his originally cold face.

"No problem, as long as you are doing business peacefully. If you want to get out, hurry up, there are people waiting behind you."

Several people left the city immediately, and the coachman also drove the carriage out of the city gate.

Li Jingwan took out some silver as a reward for his hard work and asked him to wait for a moment while she borrowed the carriage to talk to her husband.

The silver was enough to buy the carriage, and the driver smiled brightly and said they could use it as long as they wanted.

Li Jingwan then got on the carriage with Chu Tingyu, and said a little embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for offending you just now."

"It's okay." Chu Tingyu stared at her, not wanting to miss a single glance, "Luckily you showed up to save us."

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "My Lord, it's a good thing your disguises are simple, otherwise I wouldn't be able to recognize you."

Chu Tingyu also laughed, "Miss Li, you have suffered these days."

"Not bad." Li Jingwan felt a little embarrassed when she saw him staring at her intently, and quickly changed the subject, "Prince, are you here to see me?"

Chu Tingyu nodded, "Bai Yiyi went back to Tacheng and told what happened that day. I found out that it was Wu Shilie's men who kidnapped you, so I followed her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

She knew that Chu Tingyu would come to find her.

"What happened during this period?" Chu Tingyu had many questions, "Why did you suddenly appear today?"

"I am..."

Li Jingwan was about to answer when there were three knocks on the carriage wall, followed by Qi Ming's voice.

"Your Majesty, a group of Xirong cavalry are coming towards the city gate."

Li Jingwan looked outside and saw that it was indeed the team’s flag that she recognized.

"Your Highness, it's Yeqilu's cavalry."

"Do you know him?" Chu Tingyu asked in confusion.

"I have seen."

Now is not the time to talk, Chu Tingyu’s safety is the most important.

"Your Highness, let's go back to Tacheng first and discuss this in detail. Yeqilu and Wushilie are both in Reduo."

"Okay." Chu Tingyu was also a little worried because of the strict inspection by the guards at the city gate today.

Now that Li Jingwan has been found, the most urgent task is to bring her back to Tacheng safely.

After Yeqilu's cavalry entered the city, Chu Tingyu and his companions immediately set off and left on horseback.

The horse was fast, and after riding for half a day, Li Jingwan finally returned to Tacheng in the evening.

The first thing she did after entering the city was to go see Li Dingzheng.

During a short break, Chu Tingyu told her that Li Dingzheng had been taken to his residence and was being taken care of by Xiang Mingfang personally, while Xu Rui was treating him.

When Li Jingwan entered Li Dingzheng's yard, the maid had just set the table for the meal. Xiang Mingfang was just coming out with the maid and turned around to see Li Jingwan.

He was stunned for a moment, then ran over with great joy, "Miss, it's really you. You're back, so good, so good..."

As he spoke, his voice became choked up, and finally he burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Uncle Xiang, I'm fine, don't cry." Li Jingwan hurriedly comforted him, "Look, I'm fine, look."

"It's all my fault. It's all my fault that I didn't protect you..." Xiang Mingfang felt extremely guilty and cried, "If anything happened to you, I would lose my life."

"I've already told you that I'm fine. This has nothing to do with you." Li Jingwan joked, "If you cry again, I'll tell your grandchildren that their grandfather likes to cry."

Xiang Mingfang's face turned red, and he wiped his tears with his sleeve, "I'm glad you're back... The eldest master is in there, having dinner, please go in quickly."

Li Jingwan couldn't wait any longer, "Uncle Xiang, I'm going to go see Ding Zheng first, and I'll come find you when I'm free."

After spending a few days together, Li Dingzheng could feel the kindness of Xiang Mingfang and others towards him, so he was not opposed to getting along with them. However, he was still a little cautious and only ate with the cattle tenants.

Today, Niu Dianhu went to meet his friends in Tacheng, so only Li Dingzheng had dinner with him.

As soon as Li Jingwan entered the room, she saw her brother sitting upright at the table, holding a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, picking up a dish in front of him.

"Ah Han." Li Jingwan said happily, "I'm back."

Li Dingzheng slowly raised his eyes and saw that she didn't say anything, but had put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"Do you still remember me? I'm Xiaowan..."

As soon as I finished saying this, tears started falling uncontrollably.

"I am also...your sister, Dingzheng. My name is Li Jingwan, and your name is Li Dingzheng."

In the past few days, Xiang Mingfang has told Li Dingzheng about what happened before he lost his memory.

He still couldn't remember it, and he got a headache when he thought about it too much.

When they said Xiaowan was his biological sister, although he couldn't remember, he never doubted it.

"Please sit down, please sit down..." Li Jingwan saw him stand up and said hurriedly, "Dingzheng, please have dinner first. We'll talk after you finish eating."

Li Dingzheng finally spoke, "Together."

"You mean we should eat together, right?" Li Jingwan smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Yeah." Li Dingzheng nodded.

"Okay, let's go together." She went over and sat down. At this time, Xiang Mingfang came in with a set of bowls and chopsticks. After putting them down, he immediately left so as not to disturb the siblings' time together.

Li Jingwan had no appetite and just kept picking up food for Li Dingzheng.

"Ding Zheng, eat more. You are too thin now."

"This is your favorite dish. You wrote to me in Tacheng before, saying that you wanted to eat this dish."

"Are you used to it these past two days? Do you have a headache?"

She asked a bunch of questions, and Li Dingzheng listened quietly before lowering his head to eat.

Soon, he put down his chopsticks, scooped a spoonful of crab roe tofu with a spoon and put it in Li Jingwan's bowl.

"you eat."

Li Jingwan, who had been looking at him, tried to hold back her tears and nodded continuously, "Well...thank you Dingzheng."

She picked up a piece of tofu and tears fell into the bowl.

Seeing this, Chu Tingyu, who was outside the door, quietly stepped back, signaling others to leave with him first and not to disturb the brother and sister who had been reunited after a long separation.

After dinner, Li Jingwan chatted with Li Dingzheng for a while before getting up, "Dingzheng, you should rest first."

She has something important to say to Chu Tingyu.

Li Dingzheng followed her silently to the gate before speaking, "How many days will you come back?"

Li Jingwan was stunned for a moment, then smiled after she understood.

"I'll come to see you early tomorrow morning and accompany you every day, okay?"

Li Dingzheng nodded slowly, watched Li Jingwan walk away, then opened his mouth and whispered, "Sister."

Li Jingwan went straight to Chu Tingyu's courtyard. Chu Tingyu expected that she would come and was already waiting for her in the study.

He first asked about Li Dingzheng's situation, "How is Dingzheng?"

"Very good." Li Jingwan smiled when she thought of her brother. "Although Dingzheng still can't remember, I believe he will remember the past."

"Yes." Chu Tingyu did not tell Xu Rui's diagnosis results.

He couldn't bear to see Li Jingwan sad.

And later, he will tell you something that will make Li Jingwan very sad.
