The two brothers planned to help depose the prince and rehabilitate their own family. Gongliang Subai gave Gongliangxian some easily hidden food and asked him to secretly give it to several family members tomorrow, and then went back. After all, there would be more food tomorrow. They had to rush on their way, so they couldn't say much. They had to get enough sleep to have the energy to rush on their way.
The next day, Gong Liangxian quietly gave the food to several family members, but other than telling Gong Liangqin that Gong Liangsu had caught up and was the steward of the caravan, he did not reveal Gongliang Subai's identity to anyone else. Including Lan Shichu, a fair and fair wife.
When Gong Liangqin learned that his younger son was actually following his team in disguise, he was worried and relieved. In the end, he only told his eldest son to be careful when meeting him, and not much else.
Lan Shichu had lost interest since she knew that the person who sneaked into the men's shop last night was Gongliang Subai. When Wenshi quietly stuffed two glutinous rice cakes into her palm, she asked in a low voice with "surprise" : "Where did it come from?"
Mrs. Wen didn't know that Gongliang Su gave this food to her husband for free, so she just shook her head and said, "I don't know either. I probably exchanged it with someone in the caravan."
"Do your parents have any?" Lan Shichu asked again. Although this glutinous rice cake is better than dry and moldy flour pancakes, it is not a good thing for Lan Shichu who has no worries about eating and drinking with a companion, so she I want to give it back to the two elders.
However, Mrs. Wen misunderstood her meaning and thought she was too filial, so she comforted her and said: "Don't worry, my parents have enough, and they are not missing you. You'd better eat it by yourself. You're still pregnant, so you can't be short." Nutrition……"
Lan Shichu had no choice but to quietly throw the glutinous rice cake into his companion space and said, "I'll eat it when I'm hungry."
Wen didn't urge her anymore, after all, the glutinous rice cakes wouldn't go bad for a while.
A group of people were still busy on their way, and were already tired and hungry by the time they reached the next accommodation point.
Lan Shichu lay on the bed with her eyes closed and pretended to sleep. She didn't expect that Gongliang Subai would come to her, but he didn't wake her up. Instead, he stood aside and stared at Lan Shichu, not knowing whether he would come to her again. What to think.
Could it be that his conscience discovered that he was dragging himself down? Lan Shichu guessed in his heart.
But if this guy wants to watch, he should watch it quickly and leave as soon as possible. She also has a hard time pretending to be asleep. After all, she has to keep her eyes unblinking and her breathing steady, Lan Shichu thought impatiently.
Gong Liang looked at his sleeping wife with complicated eyes, hesitating whether to wake her up, but he had only met her a few times, and had no feelings at all. Even if he woke her up, he would have nothing to say. Said, so he only hesitated for a moment before deciding not to wake her up.
But after a night of kindness, Gongliang Subai bent down and lifted one of Lan Shichu's feet, taking off her socks to see the injury on the sole of her foot.
When Lan Shichu's hand touched her ankle, she almost kicked him out of reflex, but at least she still remembered that she was pretending to sleep, and finally suppressed her muscle reflex and kept her foot from moving. Stiff, Gongliang Subai discovered that she was awake.
Gongliang Subai's thoughts were all on Lan Shichu's scarred soles. Apparently, these legs had a lot of blood blisters due to the non-stop driving for days. The blood blisters broke and grew, and they grew and burst again. There was never time. Let it rest, and when the soles of the feet get used to the intensity of walking, the wounds caused by the blood blisters will scar and turn into cocoons. Then the blood blisters will no longer grow, but they will become ugly feet.
Although Gongliang Subai had no feelings for Lan Shichu's wife, he still had a sense of responsibility. He took out the medicine he brought and applied a thick layer on Lan Shichu's soles.
Lan Shichu rolled her eyes in her heart. She had already cured the soles of her feet. If she had waited for his medicine, her feet would have become useless and there would be no way that only scars would be left.
After giving Lan Shichu medicine and putting on socks, Gongliang Subai looked at her face.
He remembered that when he raised his hijab on the wedding night, Lan Shichu's skin was snowy, white and delicate, like a person made of jade, which was astonishingly dazzling in the candlelight. But now, her face was sallow, and her neck and hands were also exposed to the sun. After being exposed to the sun for many days, it turned yellow, black and rough, and it was no longer possible to see that she was a noble young lady...
If Lan Shichu knew what he was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes: She used various makeup lotions to create this skin color, so as not to go out of line, so there is no need for him to pity her, thank you!
Gongliang Subai stuffed another small purse containing several snacks into her belt, whispered "I'm sorry" to Lan Shichu, and then left.
After Lan Shichu waited for him to leave, he took out the small purse and found a few pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, which were good enough to fill his stomach.
But Gongliang Subai didn't know what he was thinking. Wasn't he afraid that she would be frightened when she woke up in the morning and found that a small purse was suddenly stuffed into her waistband? This thing that appeared on her clothes inexplicably was so scary. Aren't you afraid that she would be frightened by her random thoughts?
Lan Shichu turned over, scolded Gongliang Subai for being unreliable and continued to sleep.
Nearly a month passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was used to the intensity of traveling. Those who were too weak had died on the road, and those who were not dead gradually got over it. Human potential is amazing, even if no one knows it at the beginning. They have adapted to such hard days, but slowly, the bodies of those who survived got used to it.
Gong Liangqin and Liu survived because Gong Liang Subai secretly helped.
Lan Shichu's belly has slowly swelled, and the five-month-old fetus can already move. Sometimes Lan Shichu will be interrupted by the active fetal movement in her belly while walking, but she doesn't care. Normal means that the child is normal, but Wenshi is very worried about her, because pregnant women in the second trimester will have a big appetite and want to eat a lot, but now, they can't even eat enough, let alone eat well.
"Subai, my sister-in-law is pregnant, you know that, right?" Gong Liangxian saw Lan Shichu's bulging belly and finally remembered that she was still pregnant. During this period, she behaved like a normal person, allowing Gong Liangxian to have a baby. I had forgotten that she was pregnant, but now I remembered and reminded my brother.
"She's pregnant? I didn't know..." Gongliang Subai was shocked.
Gong Liangxian was shocked: "You don't know? How could you not know?"
But after he thought about it, he felt that it was understandable that Gongliang Subai didn't know. After all, he hadn't sent a letter to his family since he ran away from home. His family didn't know how to notify him if they wanted to, and the deposed prince didn't know how. She was concerned about the internal affairs of her maternal family and naturally would not tell him. So so far, Gongliang Subai only knew that Lan Shichu was still alive and did not know that she had his child in her belly.
Gong Liangxian wiped his face. From this aspect, his brother was obviously not a good and responsible husband.
