The Little Lucky Girl
Chapter 12 Departure
Feng Xu's family members were not in the capital, so the housekeeper came to see him off, gave him some instructions, and then waited on the side.
Lu Tai's grandfather was going to court today, and his father came to see him off.
Both the father and the son were very calm and spoke in low voices, as if the exile had nothing to do with them and it was just an ordinary conversation between father and son.
Lu Tai's side was also finished quickly. His father had something else to do, so he left first.
As soon as Father Lu left, Feng Xu immediately came over and whispered, "You two are so polite to each other."
Lu Tai smiled and said nothing.
Feng Xu touched his nose and pointed forward, "Look, Zheng Huan's mother is here too."
Duke Zheng did not come to see him off, only stepmother Jia and Zheng Huan's biological sister came.
Jia was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and her mournful voice pierced everyone's ears, "My son, you have suffered so much..."
Zheng Huan lowered his head, clenched and unclenched his fists, "I am an unfilial son. I made my mother worry."
Lu Taifengxu looked at him with sharp eyes, and even Ming Youyou in his parents' arms couldn't help but look back frequently.
"What are you looking at?" Her mother patted her.
Ming Youyou chuckled and said, "I'm watching someone perform."
Jia felt that she had done her job well, so she let go of Zheng Huan and said, "Talk to your sister too."
Miss Zheng came over and said softly, "Brother Huan."
Zheng Huan couldn't help but almost shed tears.
Seeing that Jia was still standing beside the siblings and had no intention of leaving, Lu Taifengxu looked at each other and immediately surrounded Jia, pushing Zheng Huan and his sister aside.
"Aunt, you love us the most, you must find a way to save us..."
"Aunt, do you have any money left? Can you lend me some? My parents are not in the capital. I will return it to you when they come back. You are the best..."
The wails of the two were so loud that passers-by stopped to watch. Jia had no choice but to deal with them with a stiff smile and had no time for anything else.
Miss Zheng helped Zheng Huan straighten his clothes and choked up, "You are like this now, all because of me..."
"No, sister, it has nothing to do with you. I was just too impulsive." Zheng Huan said hurriedly, "I fell into someone's trap. You clearly warned me before."
"You are still young, and you treat her like your own mother. And she controls the entire Duke's Mansion," Miss Zheng said with a wry smile, "How can we be her opponent?"
"From now on, you will be the only one in the house, so you must be careful." Zheng Huan was worried. It would be too easy for his sister to be taken advantage of if she was in the back house.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on. This time she hired someone to spread rumors to ruin my reputation because she was afraid that I would marry someone higher up than me. But what she did was actually what I wanted." Miss Zheng's gentle voice revealed a hint of determination.
"I have already told my father that I will go to my aunt's home in Yuzhou. I will ask my aunt to help me find a family to marry in the local area."
Yuzhou is far from being as wealthy as the capital. Zheng Huan disagrees, "You are too wronged."
"Silly brother, this way I will be at ease in the future." Miss Zheng smiled and helped him put his scattered hair behind his ears. "So don't worry about me anymore, just take care of yourself."
Miss Zheng looked at Zheng Huan, with reluctance in her eyes, "If you can't protect yourself in the future, don't return to the capital."
After Zheng Huan said goodbye to his sister, he didn't say another word until the team set off.
The officers guarding them were not the same ones who were responsible for the exile in the past. The beaten Prince Xiao said that he was worried that the officials of Dayu would be partial to each other, so he sent five people to escort them.
The five men were wearing black and red outer garments, with long swords on their waists that gleamed coldly in the sun.
They were obviously not as tall and strong as the county officials, but somehow they were more intimidating.
"Why are they all wearing masks on their faces?" Ming Youyou was a little scared, and couldn't help but steal a few glances at them, and asked in a low voice.
Feng Xu came closer and also lowered his voice and said, "These people are Xiao Ningyi's personal guards. I heard that Xiao Ningyi himself looks terrible, so he can't stand seeing others look good, so the personal guards he chose are all ugly with scars on their faces."
"Don't call people ugly." Ming Youyou slapped Feng Xu hard.
What's wrong with having a wound on her face? She has seen a lot of them since she was a child. Those people are all big customers of her family. "If they are cured, they might look better than you."
"Impossible, I am one of the most handsome boys in the capital." Feng Xu said unconvinced, "Right, Zheng Huan."
Zheng Huan nodded, "Yes, the countdown."
"Hey you traitor, come here and take my punch."
"What are you arguing about?" The masked guard came over and threw a bag at them. "Eat your lunch quickly so as not to delay your journey in the afternoon."
Each person had two steamed buns, which were a little dark and mixed with a lot of bran.
Ming Youyou took a bite and chewed it for a long time before she could barely swallow it. It stung her throat and it hurt.
Seeing this, Zheng Huan and the others broke the steamed buns in half, looked for the parts with less bran, and gave them to her.
A few people in the morning were still able to walk and chat, but in the afternoon they all became listless and listless, feeling so tired that they almost didn't feel like themselves anymore.
We could finally rest at night and several of us fell asleep immediately.
Ming Youyou felt a few cramps in her calf while she was sleeping. She kicked the quilt uncomfortably, then turned over and fell asleep again.
They were woken up at dawn the next day.
"Good morning." Ming Youyou yawned and greeted Zheng Huan and the others with a dazed look.
"Good morning. How did you sleep last night?" The three of them responded while yawning.
"I slept okay, but when I woke up, my legs and arms hurt. Everything hurt." Ming Youyou wiped the tears from her eyes, "Also, I'm so sleepy. I feel like I can never get enough sleep."
Ming Youyou was really sleepy. She even walked with her eyes closed and her head nodding. Zheng Huan and the other two were frightened, fearing that she would trip at the next moment.
But she is so magical. When she encounters potholes, she always wakes up in advance, avoids them accurately, and then continues to move forward unsteadily.
The system flashed silently, hiding its merits and fame.
