42 Safe Journey
“Madam! They…”
Lin Yue lifted the curtain of the carriage. Without any warning, he saw Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao hugging each other. He immediately stopped and hurriedly lowered the curtain.
Bai Wutong did not expect him to suddenly come in. She subconsciously pushed Chu Tianbao away, but she realized that it was useless. She was so angry that she could not help but pinch his back.
Chu Tianbao cried out in pain. He looked up with his watery black eyes. “Wife, why are you pinching me?”
Bai Wutong said angrily, “You deserve it!”
!!
Chu Tianbao pouted and tried to rebut.
Bai Wutong covered his mouth and said fiercely, “Go and cook porridge!”
Chu Tianbao couldn’t speak. He could only nod obediently.
Lin Yue stood on the carriage, his face red. He was uneasy and hesitated. “Madam, I didn’t mean to…”
Qingfeng, who was by the carriage, glanced at his face that was as red as a monkey’s butt and his cold gaze lingered for a moment.
After a while, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao came out of the carriage.
She glanced at Lin Yue and skipped the topic. She coughed lightly and asked, “Why were you looking for me just now?”
Lin Yue was usually more manly than a man, but now he was even more sissy than a woman. He blushed and glanced at Qingfeng. “She’s looking for you.”
If Bai Wutong didn’t know that Lin Yue hated Qingfeng so much, she would have misunderstood that Lin Yue was a little interested in her.
Bai Wutong turned his gaze to Qingfeng. “What is it?”
Qingfeng said simply, “Half the rations.”
Bai Wutong asked, “Are you taking it away now?”
Qingfeng nodded. “Yes.”
Bai Wutong noticed that there were many injuries on her body. He said, “After you’re done applying the medicine, eat with us before you leave.”
Qingfeng hesitated. Lin Yue looked at her hatefully, as if to say, get lost immediately.
She immediately agreed. “Okay.”
Bai Wutong said to Lin Yue, “Go prepare medicine for them.”
Lin Yue said anxiously, “Madam, how can we give it to them?”
How many of their people had Qingfeng killed before?
Bai Wutong stopped him with a look. “Have you forgotten how we left the city? Hurry up and get the medicine!”
Lin Yue nodded. However, the expression on his face was too unwilling.
Qingfeng stared at his back that was emitting an angry aura and she said to Bai Wutong, “Just give me a third of the rations.”
Bai Wutong was surprised for a moment before she reacted to it. Qingfeng didn’t want to take her medicine for nothing.
What an honest person she was. Indeed, rumors could not be trusted.
Seeing that Bai Wutong revealed an expression implying that she was an honest person, Qingfeng said indifferently, “If there’s too much rations, it will be troublesome on the way.”
Bai Wutong looked at her even more confused, as if saying, “You don’t have to force yourself to explain. Actually, I understand your good intentions.”
Qingfeng was a woman, so it was not convenient for her to apply medicine outside.
Bai Wutong asked her to apply medicine in the carriage. When she came out after applying the medicine, Chu Tianbao had also finished cooking the porridge. He even happily carried several types of pickled vegetables to Bai Wutong and asked, “Wife, which one do you want to eat?”
Bai Wutong smiled. “I eat what Tianbao likes.”
Chu Tianbao immediately raised his favorite radish and pickled vegetables happily. “Then let’s eat this and this!”
“Okay.”
Bai Wutong placed the bowl in Qingfeng’s hand and said, “Let’s eat together.”
Qingfeng looked at the bowl in jer hand and sat down with Bai Wutong. Madam Yang carried Little Stinky over. He reached out his little hand and asked Bai Wutong to hug him. He cried out in a childish voice, “Ah Pu… Ah Pu…”
His fleshy cheeks trembled as he spoke. He was so cute.
Bai Wutong couldn’t help but rub his chubby face and smile. “I’ll cook for you later.”
Without getting a hug from Bai Wutong, Stinky’s eyes landed on Qingfeng’s face.
Then, he extended his hand to Qingfeng again. Not only was he smiling brightly, but he was also giggling.
When Bai Wutong heard Little Stinky’s laughter, she turned around and caught a hint of a smile in Qingfeng’s calm eyes.
Bai Wutong suddenly said, “He likes you very much. You should carry him.”
Qingfeng was stunned. Madam Yang had already raised Stinky and handed him to her. “You have to hold Young Master like this, this hand holding his waist while the other hand…”
Before Madam Yang could finish speaking, Qingfeng had already taken Stinky. Her movements were careful and very practiced.
Madam Yang looked at her and said with a smile, “I didn’t expect Mister to be so good at carrying children.”
Bai Wutong brought Stinky’s food to Qingfeng. “Are you going to feed him?” She could tell that Qingfeng liked Stinky.
Qingfeng nodded and brought the bowl over. She fed Stinky a little bit of rice paste with a small spoon.
Lin Yue was so angry that he almost became a pufferfish. His gaze did not leave Qingfeng for a moment, afraid that she would do something bad to Stinky.
After the meal, Stinky burped contentedly in Qingfeng’s arms and blinked sleepily. Qingfeng stared at his chubby face and hesitated for a moment. In the end, she could not help but rub against his face.
His delicate baby skin was smoother than the most expensive silk. After a few more rubs, her entire body seemed to glow with a new light.
Lin Yue forcefully carried Stinky away with the excuse that he was going to sleep. Feeling her arms empty, Qingfeng lowered her eyes, and a trace of disappointment flashed across them.
After everyone had eaten, Qingfeng bade farewell to Bai Wutong and said, “The late emperor has died, but Duke Ping still won’t let Sheng Huaixuan off. When the news of my appearance in the Beiyun City gets back, he will definitely send someone else. You guys have to be careful.”
Bai Wutong frowned and thought for a moment. “You guys are going to Ling Kingdom too, right?”
Qingfeng didn’t deny it.
Bai Wutong said, “You need a household register to enter the Ling Kingdom. It’s inconvenient with your current identity, and Duke Ping won’t let you go. Why don’t you come with us?” Everyone in the Dark Guards Team was a skilled expert. If they could let Qingfeng follow along them, Stinky would be much safer, and the team would be much safer.
Although her excuse was lousy, Bai Wutong still wanted to test Qingfeng’s intentions.
Qingfeng was determined and she said, “Farewell.”
Bai Wutong sighed. “Safe journey.” It was a pity, but a forced melon was not sweet.
It was probably the first time someone had told her to have a safe journey. Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, but she quickly got on the horse as usual. “Giddy up~”
The rations were tied to the backs of Qingfeng’s horse and the others. They rode their horses and quickly disappeared from sight. Bai Wutong suddenly realized that Qingfeng’s words were really not intentional. If there were too much rations, they really couldn’t bring it away.
She also suddenly realized that Qingfeng was probably implying that they were too slow.
No matter how slow they were, they had to move on. Bai Wutong and the others packed their things and quickly set off.
They had been walking for about two hours when they saw a grazing horse at the side of the road as the sun was about to set.
The horses were carrying food.
Bai Wutong looked at them. Wasn’t this Qingfeng and the others’ horses?
She immediately said to Lin Yue, “Bring some people to scout ahead and see what’s going on.”
Bai Wutong and the others waited for a while before Lin Yue rode back and said, “They seem to have fallen to some plot and had fainted on the road.”
