Chapter 187 - It’s Mrs. Ye II (1/2)

In her carriage were Wong Mudan, Chen Ju and Baoxue. Their faces blue with fear, the two adults decided to get off the carriage after a while.

Chen Ju said, “I didn’t expect that horses also have tempers, just like men.”

Wong Mudan said, “How can you compare horses to men? Men are sensible, but horses are animals. They will be much fiercer if they get mad.”

Scared by their conversation, Baoxue s.h.i.+vered involuntarily and held her mother tightly.

Sitting in Ye Xiaoxian’s carriage were some daring boys and Old Mr. Xiao. Baocheng and Baoyang had been crying in excitement since it was their first time riding in a carriage.

Annoyed by the noise, Old Mr. Xiao shouted, “Why must those big families have carriages? I thought it would be comfortable to sit here, but my b.u.t.t’s aching from the jolting!”

No one bothered to respond to his complaints. The boys kept cheering Ye Xiaoxian on to go faster. Of course, she didn’t satisfy their strong desire. For one thing, she wasn’t skilled in driving the carriage. For another, if her horse ran faster, Xiao Tieshu and Xiao Tongshu would undoubtedly lag far behind. Therefore, she just took her time.

…

Since there were too many people and carriages around her, Ye Xiaoxian had to be very careful to avoid collisions. Not long after she pa.s.sed through the gate, a grand carriage overtook hers and stopped.

“Mrs. Ye?” the driver asked.

Ye Xiaoxian squinted at him and saw that it was Fengsheng.

“Fengsheng!” Ye Xiaoxian greeted.

Since his master had recovered from the disease, Ye Xiaoxian hadn’t seen Fengsheng again. During these days, she had been occupied with preparations for the escape. She had thought that they had returned to the capital.

“Mrs. Ye, where are you going?” Fengsheng asked.

Ye Xiaoxian kept on driving as she replied, “I don’t know. Perhaps we can find a dwelling on the way. What about you? Are you going to the capital?”

He answered, “Perhaps. We don’t have anywhere else to go.”

She replied with a polite smile. Then, he let her go ahead and followed slowly behind.

“Young master, Mrs. Ye is in front of us,” he said turning around.

Bored to death, Li Chengru was sitting limply in the carriage. “I heard it. I’m not deaf,” he drawled lazily.

“Young master, don’t you want to say ‘h.e.l.lo’ to her?” Fengsheng asked.

“No!” Li Chengru rejected decidedly. He hadn’t planned to escape the county. The invaders could be easily handled by the convened forces. Besides, he was anxious to get to the front lines and fight to the death.
