In order not to irritate the third prince and make him do something irrational, the third prince's concubine did not inform him of Bai Ling's departure.
Concubine Chen didn't know that her son's accident was related to Bai Ling, so she had no intention of revenge.
When something like this happened, the third prince would rather never mention it again in this life, and he would never tell anyone about it. People who know a little bit of the inside story will only suspect it in their hearts, but they can't verify it.
Finally, it was time to return home, and Bai Ling and his party set off early.
Baicao came back one day early and stayed at her parents' house for one night. Mrs. Yang didn't say anything about it.
"Cao'er, Mom knows that your life in the Yang family is not easy. But your parents are incompetent and can't protect you. If you are unhappy, your parents will welcome you home whenever you come home. Don't
Put more burden on yourself, our family doesn’t have so many poor rules.”
There is a pavilion for people to rest outside the city gate, which is mainly used for people seeing off to say goodbye.
Mrs. Bailiu couldn't bear to part with her eldest daughter, so she naturally had many things to explain.
"We are all gone, and you are the only one left in the capital. Don't hold on when something happens. If you can't, go to the Han Palace for help. If you owe me a favor, my parents will pay it back..."
Mrs. Bailiu talked for a long time, and the two of them wiped away tears from time to time, which made the family feel sad.
Bai Sanshu was afraid that Bai Liu would be hurt if she cried too much, so he persuaded her for a while before getting her into the carriage.
"If eldest sister encounters difficulties, go to Bai Mansion and find the people in my yard. They will know how to help you and you can trust them. It is not easy for Bai Wei outside. If she has something to ask eldest sister, eldest sister does not need to take care of me.
, just help when it’s time to help, and it’s better to walk around a bit more often." Bai Ling whispered as he sent Baicao back to the carriage.
Bai Ling didn't want to tell anyone about the third prince's concubine's words, lest many people become worried.
Furthermore, without evidence, Bai Wei would not believe it. On the contrary, it would make her emotions rebound even more and easily push people to the third prince's camp. That would be more gain than loss.
"Concubine Chen and I have a feud between mother and son. If eldest sister cannot avoid meeting them at the banquet, she should stay away if she can. If you can't avoid it, be careful and don't confront them head-on. Just like my mother said, eldest sister
When you are in trouble, you can go to Prince Han's Mansion for help, Princess Han will not stand idly by."
Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, and then reminded Bai Cao in another way, fearing that she would be plotted by the Third Prince's group.
"Don't worry, I won't let myself be wronged anymore." Baicao warned with her red eyes: "Mom has a body, and she will inevitably suffer hardships on the road, so she has to rely on you to take care of her. When you get married, I will
I'll rush back as soon as I can to add some makeup to you and give you a wedding."
"Okay, I'm waiting for eldest sister at home." Bai Ling smiled softly, waved goodbye to Bai Cao, and walked towards the carriage Bai Liu was riding in.
Horse hooves were raised, and the group of people left under the escort of the bodyguards. No one left their hearts behind because of the prosperity of Kyoto.
Baicao kept holding the carriage curtain until the team could no longer be seen clearly, then ordered the carriage to return to the city.
As a married daughter, you cannot interfere too much in the affairs of your mother's family. Your husband's family is the battlefield in this life.
The carriage traveled all the way, but in order to take care of Bai Liu's body, the speed was not very fast.
I bought a lot of things with local characteristics, and had no choice but to buy another carriage.
Nowadays, both the Bai family and the Liu family have sons and daughters with official status. Naturally, the number of carriages is not limited, and you can go to the officials to pick strong horses.
"Second girl, why is this town so weird? Is there something wrong? Why don't we hurry up and stay here tonight?" Bai Liu looked at the people on the street and whispered to Bai Ling.
.
"I also feel something is wrong, but I can't tell where it is." Bai Sanshu agreed.
Bai Xing didn't speak, just leaned closer to Bai Liu.
Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng left first, planning to take a detour back to their hometown. Quan thought they would go on a study tour for a few days before going to the Yamen to report.
Bai Ling looked outside the carriage with complicated eyes. The pedestrians on the street had strange expressions.
Either they looked dull and stupid, or they just stared at the group of them, and they knew they had ulterior motives at a glance.
But there are no locals in this town, and I have never heard of any problems before, otherwise Haitang would not have chosen this place as her residence.
"The next town is still far away. If we don't stay here, we will have to sleep outdoors again tonight. It's still too cold at night in this season. Not only can my mother not stand it, but neither can Xing'er and I. Besides, my grandpa is also old.
Well, if you catch the cold, you will suffer." Bai Ling hesitated for a moment, but chose to stay the night.
After hearing what Bai Ling said, Bai Sanshu and his wife stopped talking.
They hired a team of bodyguards and took care of the guards themselves, so safety shouldn't be a problem.
The team arrived at the only inn in the town, and had its own escort to arrange accommodation.
Bai Ling and Bai Sanshu supported Bai Liu and went to the upper room to rest first. Liu Zhenyou and his son lived in the same room, which was closest to the stairs.
The guest room of the Bai Ling sisters was in the middle. After all, they were both girls. Placing it on the side made the family feel uneasy, and Bai Ling could not refuse the family's kindness.
"Miss Bai, I have something I want to talk to you about." After everyone settled down, the head guard lowered his voice and said to Bai Ling.
"Myolie, you go and stay with mother, I'll come back in a while." Bai Ling confessed and invited the head escort into the room. Haitang naturally wanted to accompany her.
Bai Lingyunying was unmarried and it was inconvenient to see her husband alone, and the escort understood it.
After confirming that no one was outside the door, the escort leader said bluntly: "This is not the first time I have passed by this town as an escort. Although I have only been escorts before, the situation in this town is not like this. I am afraid that there will be danger tonight. Can you please invite a girl?
Give me some sweat-inducing medicine or something like that so that the brothers can defend themselves."
Bai Ling admired the escort's keenness, and glanced at Haitang, asking her to prepare for the attack.
"Actually, when we are escorts, we also bring some medicine with us. It's just that this town makes people feel panicked. I'm afraid those medicines won't work, so I can only shamelessly ask Miss Bai to get some." After the escort leader finished speaking, he didn't.
Sorry.
"It's just some medicinal materials, don't worry about it. Although we spent a lot of money to hire you, we don't want anyone to get hurt. How many people come out, how many people go back, this is what everyone's family is looking forward to.
"Bai Ling understood what the escort meant, but he didn't care about taking out something.
If it weren't for Bai Liu's health and Liu Zhenyou's age, Bai Ling wouldn't have insisted on staying here even though he knew something was wrong with the town.
If someone dies because of this, Bai Ling himself will not be able to pass the test.
The inn has a kitchen, but for safety reasons, Bai Ling asked to bring rice, noodles, etc. when setting out. Even meat and vegetables were bought when leaving a place. Bai Ling checked them on the way before adding them to the next one.
For standing use.
It's not that Bai Ling is too cautious, but when you go out, no one can guarantee what will happen to you, so it's always good to be prepared.
Forsythia and a few girls were cooking in the small kitchen, so that if there was any problem with the cooking utensils, it would be easy to find out in time.
After Bai Ling went to see Bai Liu, he came downstairs and nodded to the escorts sitting around the table, but did not see any other guests.
"Shopkeeper, has the business in this store always been so deserted?" Bai Ling chose a seat close to the counter and sat down, chatting with the shopkeeper. (To be continued)
