C189 (1/2)

On this night, the team entered the depths of the valley. It was desolate and overgrown with vegetation, as if several hundred years old large trees towered into the sky. The dense foliage covered the moonlight, making it impossible to see through.

The team set up camp on the spot, saying that it was a tent, but it was a simple shack, but Wei Tengfei gave the best place to Xiaowan and Hanxi. His soldiers were self-disciplined and would never embarrass the two women.

In the forest deep in the mountains, there was no condition for to wash up with hot water. Xiaowan thought that Hanxi would not be able to take it, but seeing that she had directly splashed water on her face and quickly passed the handkerchief to her, she asked with a smile: ”Is it cold?”

Hanxi shook her head and said weakly, ”Sister-in-law, you wash too.”

Just now, Ling Chaofeng had come over to remind him that there would always be beasts around. Wearing their clothes, they could sleep quickly and escape from this place.

The Xiaowan naturally wanted to follow her husband, but Hanxi was very pitiful. Thus, she separated her patience from her husband and secretly took a sip before peacefully accompanying Eldest Miss.

Not long after they laid down, they gradually unconsciously leaned against each other. Like this, they were both warm and peaceful, with their backs against each other, the distance between them gradually shortened, and Xiaowan very naturally began to call out Hanxi's name, no longer estranged from each other.

Hanxi then asked her: ”Sister-in-law, what is General Wei doing in the mountains, catching bandits?”

Xiaowan did not dare to casually reveal it, so she replied: ”I don't know either, I followed them.”

Hanxi said, ”Isn't Manager Ling running an inn, why would he come into contact with General Wei?”

Xiaowan thought for a moment, then laughed: ”I didn't ask for details, I asked next time, then I will tell you, okay?”

Hanxi laughed: ”Sister-in-law, can you not say?”

Xiaowan turned over and replied shamefully, ”You are a smart girl who has studied before, you are much stronger than me. Since you can understand, don't blame me for what's good for me.”

Hanxi also turned around and shook her head: ”Why would I blame sister-in-law? I suddenly appeared and caused all of you so much trouble. ”I'm just asking out of curiosity. I'm only thinking of my mother right now. My mother is fine, anything else is fine.”

”I heard my husband say that General Wei thinks that walking is too slow, he just needs to send the person over, he doesn't care about anything else, so he would hire a horse carriage to send Mrs. Bi directly to the Siping Mansion.” The Xiaowan comforted Hanxi, ”On the road, you will definitely not suffer anymore, it's just that once we get there, you will have to work or something, so it will not be good for you to get involved.”

”If that's the case, then why didn't he ask me to follow him?”

”Once we reach the Siping Mansion, your mother will be put on trial again for punishment. She definitely doesn't want you to see how miserable she is. ”Do not misunderstand the general's meddling.”

”Yes, I cannot misunderstand him. General Wei is a good person, I am very grateful to him. ” Hanxi was full of guilt, ”I don't even know how to repay him, and I even made him angry, this is already the second time he has saved me.”

”You knew each other before?” Xiaowan asked.

”Just last year …” Hanxi told her about him being forced to marry Wei Tengfei once, and even made her try to seduce Wei Tengfei no matter what methods she used, and the more he said, the more sorrowful he became. ”Father didn't just let down Brother Xingye's mother and son, he treated me, my brother, mother and grandmother, as mere pawns in his eyes. We were in a mess, and he was at home, and the world was unfair, and he was my father. ”

The Xiaowan touched Hanxi's arm and covered her with more of her blanket, then said gently: ”Right now, Young Noble Bi is setting up his own sect. If you and Ershan were to travel together in the imperial palace, you will definitely be even more amazing than your father.

In her heart, she thought, ”Every family has its own problems. Wealthy families may not be able to get along well, but she can marry her husband. To be able to meet such a good family, she must cherish them well.”

”Go to sleep, you might have to travel early tomorrow morning.” The Xiaowan said and patted Hanxi. The two of them snuggled together and unknowingly fell asleep.

The people outside the tent were also nestling together to keep warm. Ling Chaofeng closed his eyes to rest his mind, but suddenly he heard some movement in the forest around him. He stood up and vigilantly observed his surroundings to see if there were any signs of movement.

”Are you alright?” Wei Tengfei also came over, holding his sword.

”It's fine, let's go.” Ling Chaofeng said, ”Usually no one visits this place, the beasts here are quite fresh when they see us.”

Wei Tengfei laughed: ”It's been a long time since I've stayed in such a dangerous place. I'm so excited.”
