Xiao Lingzi came on horseback, looked at the sky, and said puzzledly:
"Princess, we have just been out for less than two hours. It is a bit early to rest now."
"It's getting late. Let's go tell the prince that the second lady has some personal matters to take care of. We just happen to have a rest here."
"I understand, I will go find the prince now."
With these words, Xiao Lingzi rode his horse and quickly headed towards the front of the team.
"My lord, the princess has asked your subordinates to tell you to rest where you are for a while. The second lady has some personal matters to take care of."
Leng Yu looked around in confusion. When he saw the road sign for Fanjiatun, he nodded with understanding.
"Okay, let's go ahead and let everyone rest here."
Leng Xi rode a horse and stood beside him. He seemed a little nervous after listening to Xiao Lingzi's words, but he thought that the Fan family and his wife might not recognize him. If they really appeared here, he would just avoid them.
After receiving Leng Yu's permission, everyone rested where they were. An An also got off the carriage. Luo Lan waved to A Cai, who hurriedly trotted to her side.
"Ah Cai, give some broken silver to the second lady."
An An hurriedly shook his head to stop,
"No, just sixty copper coins."
Luo Lan looked at her puzzledly,
"Why only sixty copper coins?"
"Because grandma gave me sixty copper coins, I only need to pay back sixty copper coins. If I pay back more, grandma will definitely think that I used money to buy her love for me."
An An's words seemed to make sense. Luo Lan nodded happily.
"If you are willing to go back and take a look, that grandma will definitely be very happy. Let's go, my mother will accompany you."
After saying this, she turned back to the transaction and said:
"Cheng'er, please wait here with your adoptive father. We will be back in a moment."
Yicheng nodded heavily, and Leng Yu came to Luo Lan and An An when they were about to enter Fanjiatun.
"Madam, you go and return quickly. We will arrive in the capital before dark today."
After Luo Lan nodded and smiled at him, she took An An's hand and walked towards the village with Ah Hong and Ah Cai.
Ever since An An ran away alone, Daya had placed the blame on her mother for delaying her fortune, saying some unpleasant words to her from time to time, and scolding her from time to time.
Grandma didn't care about this. The most common thing she said was: You must have a clear conscience. No matter how difficult life is, just make it easy.
Just when eating in the morning, Daya mumbled over something trivial again. Fan Tiancheng threw the bowl and chopsticks impatiently. Grandma returned to her own room with her crutches. The two children were bombarded. Went to school, leaving Da Ya alone, sitting there sulking.
"How can I feel sorry for you when you block a good way to make money and still show off to me all day long? You also said that I caused trouble for your sister's family. Was it me who was involved? It was obviously him who was caught stealing, and What does it have to do with me? Even if it’s nothing to do with me, wouldn’t he still have to face the consequences?”
She told her mother and Fan Tiancheng together. The old lady hiding in the west wing kept sighing angrily, and Fan Tiancheng hiding in the main room kept smoking the cigarette in his hand.
He really couldn't understand why his mother-in-law was so dissatisfied. The man in black gave them the money to take good care of An An, but when An An left, Prince Yu and Princess Yu didn't take the money that should have been returned to them. She was still thinking about An An's silver reward, and every time she arrived During meal time, she had to talk a lot, and she forgot that when Prince Tianyu came to the house the day before yesterday, he almost scared her to death.
"well!"
Fan Tiancheng had no choice but to hide in the room and sulk.
Daya's complaints were getting louder and louder, and he really didn't want to hear it anymore, so he simply picked up his Guazi and put it on. He was going to go into the mountains to pick up some firewood and bring it back, so as not to worry about hearing her curse.
The moment he pushed the door open, Daya opened it with a shout,
"Where are you going? Don't you want to listen to me? Then why don't you do that?"
"What did I do? Wasn't it all your fault?"
"You dare to talk to me like this, don't you? Are you too brave?"
Seeing that Fan Tiancheng dared to refute her, Da Ya scolded him angrily, took off her shoes, and threw them at Fan Tiancheng. Fan Tiancheng had no time to dodge, and the shoe was thrown squarely in his face.
He covered his face that was hurt by the beating, bent down to pick up the shoe, and roared through gritted teeth:
"I haven't laid a finger on you for so many years. If I don't hit you today, I, Fan Tiancheng, will be considered a man in vain."
As he spoke, he prepared to rush over. The door to the west wing opened at this moment. The old lady hit the ground heavily with the crutch in her hand, and cursed in her mouth:
"What a sin. Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son like you? I just let you live a good life and curse all day long. In this case, my old lady won't stay with you anymore, and I won't listen to your petty words when I go out to beg for food."
Seeing that her mother was about to leave, Daya thought she was trying to scare people, so she waved her arms and shouted:
"Okay, you go. If you go, don't come back. You let that girl go without my consent? Are you still reasonable? The man in black came here a few days ago. He said, if we can't find An An, we The whole family has to pay for it with their lives, how about you, are you still causing trouble here? You go, go quickly, the man in black is coming later, I have an explanation, and, if it weren't for you, I would be 10,000 liang now The silver reward is all in my hands. By then, when we take the silver and fly far away, we won’t be afraid of retaliation. Now it’s better. I haven’t caught the silver, and I still have to worry about it every day. I’m afraid that others will retaliate. What do you think I should do? ?”
Da Ya Niang shook her head and sighed while walking towards the door.
She felt that her daughter was hopeless.
"Mom, you can't leave."
When Fan Tiancheng saw that Da Ya Niang was really leaving, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
"Mom, where are you going? At your age and in poor health, how are you going to live?"
"Even if I die, I won't die here. Tiancheng, I recognize you as your son-in-law, and I will never recognize you as your daughter again until I die."
As she spoke, the old lady was about to walk out. At this moment, Luo Lan appeared in front of her, holding An An's hand.
"grandmother……"
The moment An An saw her grandma, she called her sweetly. Her grandma looked at her in astonishment and burst into tears.
"An'an, what are you doing? You've found your mother. This is a great thing."
An An stepped forward and took grandma's hand, nodding happily.
"Grandma, thank you very much for this. Otherwise, I will starve to death. I passed by here when I returned to the capital and came to see you. This is the copper I borrowed from you, and I will give it back to you now."
As she spoke, she took the bunch of copper coins from A Cai's hand and stuffed them into grandma's hand. She looked at the bundle on her body and asked with some surprise:
"Where are you going?"
