Translator: 549690339
On the tenth of September, Madam Yun took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan out to the Government City.
In addition to the coachman and the guards, the attendants CuiPing, CuiHe,
XiuMei, and Madam Zhang accompanied them.
The invitation of the Magistrate’s wife was for the fifteenth of September, but since it would take a day to travel, Madam Yun, worried about unexpected occurrences, decided to depart four days earlier.
Xingshan County was in a remote location; they set out in the morning and only arrived at Government City in the evening.
The streets of Government City should have quieted down by evening, shops
closing and pedestrians heading home.
However, when the Wei Family’s carriage was halfway there, they saw a crowd of people fighting ahead, with the flash and clash of weapons terrifyingly dazzling.
The coachman wanted to immediately turn back, but the road was not wide enough to make the turn, so they were forced to stop at the side of the road, at a loss of what to do.
In the carriage, Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan were tense.
Wei Ruo was also startled. Who could be so audacious as to fight and brawl on
an important street in the Government City?
Wei Ruo carefully lifted the corner of the curtain.
Through the gap, Wei Ruo saw a familiar figure in the middle of the melee-Lu
Yuhong.
If Lu Yuhong was here, wasn’t Chu Lan involved too?
Sure enough, when Wei Ruo’s gaze swept across the street, she saw Chu Lan in a corner, surrounded by a few guards.
He didn’t move, the minions in front of him weren’t worthy of him personally taking action.
Wei Ruo saw Chu Lan at the same time as Wei Qingwan, who was sitting across
from her.
On her face was both the surprise and panic of witnessing this chaotic scene, and a hint of uncontainable glee.
About an hour later, the commotion outside subsided.
After a while, Lu Yuhong came towards Wei Family’s carriage.
“I apologize for disturbing you, the situation is now under control, you may proceed.”
To avoid any suspicion, Madam Yun didn’t lift the curtain, but replied through it: “No harm done. All is well now, thanks for your hard work.”
Madam Yun had already recognized Chu Lan and Lu Yuhong, and knowing their status, she naturally didn’t dare object.
After a short conversation, Lu Yuhong was supposed to allow the Wei Family’s carriage to leave. However, suddenly, whether recognizing the Wei Family’s carriage, or the Wei Family’s servants along for the journey, he asked: “Is Miss Wei in the carriage?”
Madam Yun and Wei Qingwan looked at Wei Ruo in surprise.
Wei Ruo thought for a moment, and replied: “What can I do for you, sir?” Lu Yuhong said: “Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you still have any of the sauce you gifted Miss Xie?”
Sauce? Mushroom sauce?
