Shen Qing nodded with satisfaction and got into the most luxurious carriage. Naturally, the three of them and one dog were traveling together.

Chu Yuming drove the carriage, and Luo Qin stayed with her inside. Occasionally, she would go out to change shifts. When she was driving the carriage, Chu Yuming would go to other carriages to rest.

Xiao Hei, apart from the convenience of getting out of the car, stayed at Shen Qing's feet all day long.

Shen Qing would also be happy to read or sleep on its shiny fur, otherwise he would just argue with Luo Qin.

There was a small charcoal stove in the carriage, and Shen Qing asked Luo Qin to modify it. He opened a hole in the wall of the carriage and found two bamboo tubes to exhaust the smoke to avoid gas poisoning.

So it was very warm in their carriage, and besides being boring, there were no other shortcomings.

It's just that Su Han's side is miserable. Not only is there no heater, but there is also a cold and hard wooden board under the buttocks. There is only a layer of cotton padding on it, which is better than nothing. I don't know how long it has been there. It is very hard and damp. It couldn't give her much warmth at all.

She protested several times, but all she got was ignored.

She is not stupid, on the contrary, she is also quite smart. There are not many children in the Su family who are stupid.

Seeing Butler Su's attentiveness to Shen Qing, coupled with her own experience, she knew whether she was being retaliated against or by the country girl she despised the most.

After figuring this out, she started cursing in the carriage from the second day on.

When I took a break and went to the toilet, I wanted to rush to Shen Qing and cut her into pieces.

But no matter how much trouble she made, the other party just watched calmly, not letting anyone stop her or defending herself, as if... she was watching a farce.

And she is the worst actress.

Su Ming had been following the convoy silently. He was riding a horse and only had two boys with him.

Before going out, he heard about Su Han's experience and was educated by his mother.

So he feels more at ease this time. Of course, he is also biding his time and keeping a low profile. There is still a long road ahead! No hurries.

The treatment of the Zhou family's mother and daughter is much better.

Shen Qing not only asked Butler Su to make the carriage comfortable and warm, but also bought her some good clothes on the way.

What good clothes are there?

Naturally, he gave her some of the most expensive clothes in the most expensive ready-to-wear store among the towns she passed, and also gave her some jewelry.

This worry made Zhou Maimiao stunned for a moment, and at the same time, she felt a little uneasy.

She knew that their identities were the same, just like the palace maids to be selected, whoever could win the Lord's favor would be able to rise to the top in one step.

Yes, in her opinion, this is reaching the sky in one step, even flying on a branch and becoming a phoenix is ​​not enough.

Shen Qing knew her concerns and comforted her. Since they were both on the same road and women, they should naturally take care of each other. Besides, she didn't come up with the money.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhou's mother happily turned the things over and turned them over, "Girl! If these clothes are exchanged for silver, they can be sold for dozens of taels. We won't lose money on this trip."

Zhou Maimiao's initial joy turned to anxiety, "Mom, I heard that the eldest son of the Su family has been ill since he was a child, and he hasn't recovered in recent years. I also heard that he had previously married two daughters-in-law, and they died not long after they got married. He said he died of illness, could it be that he was infected? Oh, what should I do? If I am infected with his disease, will I die soon?"

Mother Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly denied it, "It's nonsense, it's just been passed down from person to person, and it has changed. Mom, I heard your cousin say..."

She leaned close to her daughter's ear and spoke to her in a low voice.

Zhou Maimiao's eyes widened the more she listened, "No, isn't it?"

Mother Zhou disagreed, "Ahem! What your cousin said is true. It means that something bad can happen to the rich family in our village, let alone a family like theirs. Don't think too much about it. The worst will happen when the time comes. Just stay a widow and be content. When our family gets better, you say... just ask him to divorce his wife, and then my mother will find a good family for you." The mother-in-law said while hiding in the carriage. Yes, they were camping in the wilderness at this moment. They thought they were being hidden, but they didn't know that the carriage was not soundproof.

People outside can hear it clearly.

Butler Su lowered his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. After a while, he reached out and wiped his face again, and then looked at Shen Qing who was sitting by the fire, "Miss Shen, what are your plans?"

Shen Qing knew what he meant by asking. She flicked the burning fire with a fire stick. The closer she got to the fire, the higher the temperature. But if she took a step closer, she would be burned. "We'll talk about it then!"

Not getting the answer he wanted, Butler Su was a little disappointed and looked up in the direction of the capital. "We will be able to arrive in the capital tomorrow evening. Just in case, we need to disguise ourselves to avoid any complications."

So the next day, they pretended to be out-of-towners visiting relatives.

There are many powerful people in the capital. As long as they don't go to Su Jing, who knows whose relatives they are.

The journey into the capital was uneventful, and we got in before the gates closed.

The capital of Northern Xia was divided into an inner city and an outer city, so naturally the location they were standing in was the outer city.

It was getting late, and the shops on both sides of the street had hung up lanterns, obviously not intending to close down, and there were shouts one after another.

Xiao Hei smelled the aroma of broth, squeezed away from Shen Qing, lay down by the car window, stretched out the dog's head, and greedily smelled the aroma in the air.

Shen Qing slapped it in a funny way, "Look how greedy you are, why don't we stop and have a rest first? Find something to eat on the way."

Chu Yuming naturally agreed wholeheartedly, and he was not in a hurry anyway.

Although Steward Su was anxious, the closer he got to the imperial city, the more uneasy he felt. He just wanted to send the person to his master as soon as possible. It would be best if he completed his errand.

But considering that there was still an hour to go, he had no choice but to agree.

It was dinner time, and the restaurants on both sides of the main street were all crowded and extremely lively.

Butler Su took them directly to the largest and most luxuriously decorated restaurant on the main street.

He ordered the coachman to stop the carriage and said hello inside. Immediately, several waiters rushed out.

"Isn't this Butler Su? I haven't seen you for a while, but you're okay. It's been a hard journey..."

Butler Su impatiently interrupted the waiter's chatter, "Stop talking nonsense, are there any private rooms available?"

"Yes, there are two more standing ones."

"We only need one room, so we will immediately ask someone to prepare a table with more exquisite dishes. In addition, the horses have been fed. We will leave after eating."

"Okay! You guys come over here to lead the horses, and some of you please come in."

Shen Qing and others had already got off the carriage. She stood at the front and looked up at the plaque above, "Jinxiu Tower"

It turned out to be his property, no wonder.

Other than that, she had no other emotions.

Su Han stood behind her, trying hard to adjust her clothes so that no one would notice that she was being abused. However, no one had been waiting on her these days. Her hair was a mess, and her clothes were wrinkled no matter how much she adjusted them, so her expression was the worst. Smelly.
