The female supporting role never believes in fate

4 The Return
"Miss, it's getting hotter and hotter, the sun is hot, and there are many mosquitoes in the mountains. You'd better go back by carriage. Otherwise, the journey will be rough and frosty, won't you feel distressed when you meet Old General Huo in the capital?"

In the early morning of the second day, the fourth prince set off from the camp. At the gate of the county government, in front of everyone, Nanny Chen put away the anger she had lost last night, and gently called Cheng Yuguan to stop, and opened the curtain of the carriage to let her get into the carriage.

The gentle look made the Fourth Prince and the others follow suit.

Cheng Yuguan glanced at the expressions of the people around him, and couldn't help but want to laugh.People are like this, they are always easily moved by the gentleness on the surface.

If she showed a cold face at this time, Nanny Chen would probably be even more humble to set off her willfulness.

"Madam Chen is really old. When I was chased by bandits yesterday, you couldn't save me, and now my memory is not good. Have you forgotten how dizzy I was in the carriage for more than ten days?" Uncomfortable? It’s finally getting better now, why do you want me to take a carriage again? It was said that the mansion did not arrange it well, and there were no extra horses for me, so I can’t take a carriage. Today we follow the fourth prince, and some of them are war horses. The carriage is still You come and sit, I grew up in a small country, I am not so delicate, I will ride a horse back with the fourth prince."

Cheng Yuguan's indifferent words made everyone around him understand.

Cheng Hou's mansion is also one of the most famous families in the capital, usually rich and prestigious, but they are so stingy with the eldest lady of the mansion.

To pick up people, just send a nanny, a maid, and a carriage, even a wealthy family in Beijing will not be so shabby.

Miss Cheng, the former son, wronged herself and had vomited for more than ten days.If he went back in a carriage again, wouldn't he lose half his life?
People in the army are more straightforward, they don't care about Cheng Yuguan's cold tone and attitude, but they look sideways at Chen Nanny, who seems to be gentle but harbors evil intentions.

Mother Chen was ridiculed by Cheng Yuguan, and seeing the cold faces of the fourth prince, she didn't dare to pester her anymore, and climbed the wall carriage in a dejected manner.

Mother Chen had already made up her mind yesterday, but Cheng Yuguan could not be allowed to follow the fourth prince. Although the fourth prince was cold-faced, he was noble after all.If Cheng Yuguan and the fourth prince were given a chance to get in touch, there would be no guarantee that side issues would not arise.

Therefore, even though the march was tough, she still had to follow the fourth prince and the eldest lady, monitor their every move, and make sure not to let them have any extra contact.

Seeing Nanny Chen climbed into the carriage, Qinglu smirked at Cheng Yuguan, her eyes dodged, she didn't even dare to look at the heavily armed guards, and climbed into the carriage instead.

No one made any noise, so Cheng Yuguan got on the horse given to her by Lin Jing's guard, and returned to the capital with the army behind the fourth prince.

The march is bitter.

In the wilderness, along the official road, it takes more than two hours to walk.

Cheng Yuguan didn't have a map and didn't know the destination. He just felt that the road in front of him seemed to have no end and no end.

"Miss Cheng, if you feel dizzy, you can come down and walk for a while. Many people will feel uncomfortable when marching for the first time. Even the soldiers below will have to practice for a long time to get used to it."

Zhao Cheng, who had a meeting yesterday, drove to Cheng Yuguan and said.

A big man can't stand the pain of marching without training, let alone Cheng Yuguan, a young lady?He was afraid that Miss Cheng would not be able to get off the stage after she said harsh words to Nanny, and he was embarrassed to get off the horse, so he came here specially to give her a step down.

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your kindness."

Cheng Yuguan also knew good and bad, so he thanked Zhao Cheng in advance.

Zhao Cheng quickly waved his hand, "Miss Cheng is too polite, you can call me Zhao Chengcheng."

Cheng Yuguan cupped his hands, "I grew up in the countryside with my cousins ​​since I was a child, and there are not so many details. Big brother Zhao Cheng kindly pointed out, it doesn't matter if I respectfully call you big brother."

A smile appeared on Zhao Cheng's face, and Cheng Yuguan went on to say, "I was not spoiled and raised since I was a child. Now that the fourth prince kindly asked me to accompany me back to Beijing, I naturally can't hold back His Highness. Right now Although it's a bit uncomfortable, I can still persevere. It's still far away from the capital, the sooner I can train, the sooner I can keep up with His Highness's rhythm, so as not to drag His Highness down."

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan's face was turning blue and still insisting on not getting off the horse, and hearing Cheng Yuguan's words, Zhao Cheng stopped trying to persuade him.

Everyone has their own difficulties. Zhao Cheng has been with His Highness for many years in the capital, and if he has seen many dignitaries, if he is out of power, life will be more difficult than ordinary people.

Even if Miss Cheng is the daughter of the Hou family, she can tell from Nanny Chen that it will be difficult for her to return to Beijing in the future.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to suffer more now.

Therefore, Zhao Cheng stopped persuading him, took out the golden sore medicine from his pocket, and handed it to Cheng Yuguan.

"This is the golden sore medicine that His Highness gave us. The medicine is very effective. You can keep it."

Cheng Yuguan took the porcelain bottle and put it in his arms, "Thank you, Brother Zhao, and thank you, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng drove his horse away again and went forward.

At this time, Cheng Yuguan was controlling the horse and followed behind the guards. He also breathed a sigh of relief, grinned his teeth, endured the pain in his inner thigh, and continued on his way.

From early morning to dusk, except for the half hour at noon when eating, Cheng Yuguan got off the horse to relax for a while, and for the rest of the time, Cheng Yuguan gritted his teeth and held on to the horse's reins, unable to get off to death.

"Set up camp!"

With Lin Jing's voice, Cheng Yuguan stopped standing upright, and as soon as he loosened his strength, he slid off the horse.

"Miss Cheng, are you okay?"

Zhao Cheng has been paying attention to behind him intentionally or unintentionally. Seeing this, he hurried over to give him a helping hand.

Cheng Yuguan was holding the saddle to support his body, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, so he just waved his hand first, indicating that he was fine.

"In a while, I will ask the kitchen staff to boil a pot of hot water for the eldest lady, and the eldest lady will soak in hot water to relieve fatigue."

Cheng Yuguan, no matter in his previous life or in this life, although he was not rich and pampered, he has never suffered any crimes.

Even in Chengjia Village, there used to be a nanny, and later the patriarch's family loved them, but they just suffered a little and never suffered.

Today at Mama, Cheng Yuguan only felt that his waist was broken, his legs were numb, and he couldn't even feel the pain in his inner thighs.

When he was suffering, someone came to comfort him, and Cheng Yuguan felt like tears were about to fall.

She sniffed secretly to stop the tears she was about to shed. It would be too embarrassing to shed tears because of hard work at the moment.

Therefore, Cheng Yuguan lowered his head halfway, not letting Big Brother Zhao see his red eye circles, "Thank you Big Brother Zhao, I understand."

Now that Zhao Cheng has passed the weak crown, he is nearly ten years older than Cheng Yuguan. Looking at Cheng Yuguan who is pretending to be innocent, how can he not hear the nasal sound in her voice?

However, although he has known Cheng Yuguan for a short time, he knows that Cheng Yuguan is a man who wants to save face, and he doesn't want to expose it. He only points to the temporary tent set up beside him, "That is the tent that His Highness ordered for you. Inside, you can go there in a while."

"Well, I see, Brother Zhao."

Cheng Yuguan secretly opened his eyes wide, and after holding back his tears, he looked at Zhao Cheng in front of him and smiled.

Seeing that Cheng Yuguan had a smile on his face but his eyes were moist, Zhao Cheng just nodded and turned to leave.

"Miss, the servants are exhausted after a day's journey, so we can't serve you anymore. We have to go back and rest first, so as not to be unable to keep up with the Fourth Prince's march tomorrow and delay your return journey."

As soon as Zhao Cheng left, Nanny Chen came over with Qinglu and the coachman, and said in a strange way.

She was dressed in silk clothes, and the side where she was lying in the carriage was wrinkled. At this time, she was supported by Qinglu, holding her forehead, and she looked uncomfortable.

Cheng Yuguan glanced at Qinglu, but she shyly avoided Cheng Yuguan's gaze.

She clearly said she was bringing her a girl, but at this moment she was serving beside Nanny, and Cheng Yuguan didn't bother to say, "You can do whatever you want."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yuguan exerted all his strength to control his legs, not to show timidity in front of Nanny Chen and the others, and returned to the tent that Brother Zhao Cheng pointed out to her just now.

The skin on her thigh must have been worn out, she had to go back to wash up and apply some medicine, after all, tomorrow was another day.

"Mommy, isn't it good that we are like this, after all, we are the young lady..."

Seeing Cheng Yuguan's stiff back, Qinglu couldn't bear to say it.

When Chen Momo heard Qinglu's words, she tapped her forehead fiercely, "Didn't you listen to what the young lady said just now? She let us do whatever we want. You can just listen to the young lady! When she gets too brave, she needs us Only then will we be decent. Thinking about the fact that the eldest lady was frightened yesterday, she can’t argue with this tone. Will we have a good life when we return to the house? Only she can’t hold on, and she gave in to our softness. She won't be ashamed to pursue us when she returns home."

"But..." Qinglu is not a girl bought from outside, but a child born at home. She grew up in front of her parents. thought.

At this moment, when she heard Nanny Chen say this, she felt that it was wrong but she couldn't refute it, so she just subconsciously obeyed the arrangement.

After another glance at the direction of the eldest lady, Qinglu helped Nanny Chen who had been lying down all day back to the tent.

The fourth prince has a noble status and considerate actions, so naturally he will not ignore them.

Over there, Cheng Yuguan applied medicine to himself with great difficulty, and after taking a few mouthfuls of food, he lay down and fell asleep.

In the middle of the army, a large tent was opened, and the fourth prince sat upright, looking at the map on the table.Beside him, there was even an auspicious beast incense burner, burning green smoke.Lin Jing and Zhao Cheng guarded the left and right.

After a long while, Zhao Cheng couldn't help complaining, "Madam Cheng Hou has always been famous in the capital, but she would not think of acting so stingy in private. She sent a nanny over for the first wife's daughter. Marquis Cheng Not to mention, she is not afraid that General Huo will see him in the future, and the two relatives will become enemies instead?"

Cheng Yu got sick in the carriage for ten days, couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep well, she was already emaciated, and she was frightened by bandits twice yesterday, and her spirit was strong, and today she is strong again, Following them all the way, Zhao Chengcheng, who had been on the battlefield and had a hard heart like iron, couldn't bear to look so strong, and complained in front of His Highness.

Hearing what Zhao Cheng said, Lin Jing couldn't help shaking her head when she thought about how many times Mother Chen got out of the carriage to eat and go to the bathroom today, there was a little girl by her side to serve her, and when she thought about Cheng Yuguan's pale face when she was eating, "Know people, know face, but don't know heart. In the past, Li Chenghou's family was considered harmonious and happy in the capital. Who knows, there is such a hidden secret behind it. I heard that Mrs. Cheng Hou was not liked by Mrs. Hou in the past. It was less than a year after Mrs. Hou passed away. In [-], she helped the current Mrs. Hou, and had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Huo family. The Huo family had guarded the border for many years, and now that they returned to Beijing, they thought it was a signal of reconciliation between the two families. It seems that there may still be trouble."

The fourth prince also saw today's master and servant of the Cheng family in his eyes. At this moment, he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words of the two subordinates who were faintly biased towards Cheng Yuguan, "This Miss Cheng family is not smart. She is the master, and she wants to serve as a servant." Serving is a matter of course. Because of being angry for a while, what is the use of it except wronging yourself? The Huo family can leave her in the Cheng family's ancestral house for more than ten years. Now that they return to Beijing to contact the Hou's mansion, they are just staying at the border for a long time. It's just that there are many helpers in the capital. Miss Cheng's existence is important, but not so important. If she knows how to be knowledgeable, and has a good life, she will not worry about a good life. But if she continues to be so stubborn, I'm afraid the Cheng family and the Huo family are right She doesn't have much patience."

Hearing what His Highness said, Zhao Cheng and Lin Jing looked at each other with serious expressions.

There are nobles and dignitaries, and some people hold a golden spoon in their mouths and are pampered.Some let them live and die coldly.In the end, it's all about profit.

With Cheng Yuguan's temperament, it's really hard to say what will happen to him in the Hou Mansion.

"The Huo family guards the border. His family has a good relationship with the Chenghou Mansion. I'm afraid His Majesty would not like to see it?"

Lin Jing pondered.

However, Zhao Cheng said, "It's my own birth. The Huo family and the Cheng family won't be too cold-hearted, right? Why don't His Highness remind Cheng Yuguan a few words to wake her up?"

As soon as Zhao Cheng finished speaking, the fourth prince and Lin Jing looked sideways.

The fourth prince's expression was inexplicable, "You actually feel pity for fragrance and jade?"

Lin Jing looked at his companion with an inexplicable expression.

Zhao Chenghei blushed, and quickly waved his hands, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? How old is the eldest lady of the Cheng family? The humble job is to see that she is a little girl, and her father doesn't love her mother and dies early, and she is so strong, so I feel pity for her." That's all. If this child is a kid, it would be easy to beat him with a humble job, but she is a girl with such a noble status, and now she doesn't even have a servant, which makes people look unbearable."

Seeing Zhao Cheng's embarrassment, Lin Jing also smiled, "You black charcoal, I didn't expect you to be soft-hearted."

Zhao Cheng muttered, "They all have no father and no mother. In this world, if you don't have a mother, you have no protection. If you have a father, you also become a stepfather."

After hearing what Zhao Cheng said, the fourth prince and Lin Jing also fell silent.

On the second day, Cheng Yuguan got on the horse again, but he didn't know if his body had gotten used to it, or if the distance today was easier and gentler than yesterday, in short, Cheng Yuguan felt that he seemed to be more used to it.

"There is a town ahead, let's rest at the post today."

"Well, I see, Brother Zhao."

Today, instead of gritting his teeth all the way, Cheng Yuguan regained some energy and communicated with the few people who were on the road together.

The one who talked the most was this dark-faced and kind-hearted elder brother Zhao Cheng.
