After starting from scratch, he was targeted by big bosses

Chapter 43

"coming!"

Lu Huai was leaning in the carriage in a daze, when he heard the sound of horseshoes approaching, he stretched out his head and smiled.

Xie Cheng's eyelids moved slightly, but he didn't speak, until the carriage stopped aside, he opened the curtain and said, "It will take a month to get to Cold Water City from here."

As soon as Tang Xi heard his voice, she hurriedly lifted the curtain. Under the light, her round head poked out, and she frowned and said with a smile, "Thank you for your concern, the city lord."

Xie Cheng coughed lightly, put down the curtain and said to the coachman, "Let's go."

The coachman responded and hurriedly started driving out of the city.

Lu Huai looked at him with a smile on his face for a long while, then sighed, "Have you cared about the little girl?"

"You think too much."

After Xie Cheng finished speaking, he immediately closed his eyes.

But Lu Huai didn't intend to let him go, and continued: "You still don't admit that you are duplicity. There is nothing wrong with Miss Tang except that she is younger. Well, of course, although her status is a little lower, but stay by her side and do her best. A concubine is also okay."

Xie Cheng suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the words, looked at him with a frown, and said in a serious tone: "My Xie family does not have the habit of taking concubines. If you have such thoughts, I will make my sister reconcile with you immediately."

"I'm joking." Lu Huai immediately sat up straight and said in a serious voice, "Miss Tang doesn't look like she is willing to be a concubine."

Xie Cheng gave him a cold look, closed his eyes again and remained silent.

Lu Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, how could he have forgotten that his brother-in-law hated talking about taking concubines the most.

The son of the Xie family can only marry one wife in his life, and he will never leave that kind of wife for life.

Xie Cheng has always kept himself clean and self-respecting, and there is not even a servant girl around him, only Mo Yi and a few servants.

"Sister, it was today's big brother who was talking, right? Where are we going with him?" Tang Xiao's wet eyes were full of doubts.

Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, it's him, we're going to Cold Water City with him."

"Is Hanshui City far away?" Tang Xiao asked again.

"It's far away, it will take a month's journey." Tang Xi looked at him and said, "So, Ah Xiao should go to bed quickly so that he can continue on his way."

Tang Xiao frowned, with a confused expression: "But, I don't want to sleep yet."

It was his first time riding in a carriage, and he was so happy that he didn't feel sleepy at all.

Tang Xi smiled, and didn't say any more, just let him chatter all the way, and she patiently answered them one by one.

At some point, the sound in the carriage gradually disappeared, and finally only a thin snoring sound could be heard.

The carriage is large enough to accommodate six people, and there are also teapots, snacks, and a small couch.

Tang Zheng asked Tang Xiao to lie on the small couch, while he and Tang Xi sat on the futon beside him, leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed to rest.

Hearing the sound of snoring from the opposite side, Tang Xi opened her eyes slightly. She didn't feel sleepy and didn't dare to enter the space, so she could only lower her eyes in a daze.

Tonight is the [-]th, the moon outside the window is exceptionally round, and the clear light leaks in from the car curtain, injecting a ray of light into the darkness.

Tang Xi stared at the ray of light in a daze, and at some point, drowsiness gradually struck, and after a while, she fell into a dream.

When he woke up again, the carriage was still driving, the trees outside the window had been receding, and there was basically no one on the road except their carriage.

It was not until noon that the carriage stopped in front of a ruined temple.

As soon as Tang Xi lifted the curtain of the car, he saw Xie Cheng walking over, and said in a low voice, "Have lunch first before continuing on the road."

"Okay!" Tang Xi nodded at him with eyebrows bent.

Xie Cheng took a deep look at her, then turned and entered the ruined temple without saying a word.
