Finally, the family of four got into the carriage.

“Zhuang Ge, didn’t you say you were staying behind to watch over them…” How come the other three agreed to go together?

Li Shan was puzzled. He glanced at the carriage behind him and leaned towards Shen Tao, asking in a low voice.

It was better for him not to speak, but as soon as he did, Shen Tao became even more resentful and irritable. The place where he had been kicked by that woman was even more painful.

Was this what he wanted?

Damn it, he didn’t know what medicine that bitch had taken, she was like two mad dogs, biting anyone she could get her teeth on.

It was fortunate that he had stopped himself in the end, otherwise, if he messed up the master’s business, he wouldn’t be able to go back.

He looked at the sky, “Hurry up.”

They had planned the timing of their return, but they had been delayed for so long. Now they had to hurry up and try to reach the city gate before it closed.

“Tao Ge, it’s getting dark, this speed is already very fast.” If they went any faster, something could happen.

Shen Tao turned his head and glared at him, “Do I have to listen to you?!”

Meeting this bastard was never a good thing!

Tsk!

Li Shan shrank his neck and obediently pulled on the reins, he raised his whip and slapped the horse’s rear end, “Whoa! Giddy up!”

The horse was startled, it raised its hooves and ran at full speed.

Because of the sudden acceleration, the people in the carriage lost their balance. They were about to crash into the wall of the carriage.

Shen Yanrong was quick and grabbed them into his arms, while he himself crashed heavily into the wall.

“Rong Ge, are you okay?”

“Daddy!”

“Mommy!”

“Hao Hao Yue Yue, are you alright?”

“…”

Hearing the anxious, nervous, and worried voices from inside, Shen Tao wanted to laugh out loud.

Heh, you’re fighting with me!

Karma!

The carriage gradually drove away from Yunshan Village, they galloped all the way, and finally managed to enter the city before the city gate closed.

Driving on the wide and smooth streets of the capital, the family in the carriage couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The journey had been bumpy, and even Little Yun Hao and Little Xin Yue, who were sitting in their parents’ arms, had been very uncomfortable.

The capital was indeed the most prosperous place in the entire Da Yong Dynasty. Even though it was close to the closing time of the city gate and curfew, it was still very lively.

But,

The prosperity and noise had nothing to do with the few people in the carriage.

As they approached the Shen family, Lu Yao became more and more nervous and heavy.

She didn’t know what was going on this time that they were called back.

In the two short years she had lived in the Shen family, and the few times she had visited later, the memories she had were all bad.

If she could, she really didn’t want to set foot in that grand mansion that so many people envied.

Shen Yanrong held her hand, “I won’t let you be wronged again.”

Lu Yao shook her head, she wasn’t worried about that, but she didn’t explain.

The two children sitting in their parents’ arms were exceptionally well-behaved and sensible.

They just kept looking at the curtains with their eyes, obviously curious about the outside. But they also knew that they were going to a very, very big house, so they quietly leaned against their parents.

Lu Yao rubbed the heads of the two little ones one by one, she felt a little 心疼，she glanced at the man beside her, but she didn’t say anything.

How could Shen Yanrong feel good? Whenever he thought about what had happened over the years, he was filled with guilt. He had wronged his wife and children so much…

“This is the last batch, we’ll close up after we sell out!”

“Candied haws, big and sweet candied haws.”

“Grandma’s precious grandson, where are you running to, we have to go back.”

“…”

As they passed by a bustling market, Little Xin Yue couldn’t help but quietly shift her little butt and lean towards the window. She lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out.

When she saw the people dressed in luxurious clothes and the dazzling array of goods, she couldn’t help but open her little mouth wide. So, this is what the city is like.

She had grown up in the countryside, and the people she had most contact with were her parents and the villagers. Her brother said she had been here before, but she was too young to remember.

Lu Yao wanted to tell the child not to look around, but she swallowed the words. After all, it was their fault as parents.

But Little Xin Yue was very sensible, she only looked for a while before she put down the curtain and obediently leaned against her mother again.

Lu Yao poked Shen Yanrong and asked with her eyes. He didn’t hesitate at all, he nodded.

“Mommy will take you out to play tomorrow, okay?” She looked at her two children and promised.

The two children’s eyes lit up, then they frowned again.

They wanted to go out and play, but they weren’t foolish children.

“Mommy, I won’t go out.” Little Xin Yue clenched her tiny fist. She wasn’t attracted by the outside, she was just curious to take a look.

Little Yun Hao looked at his sister, whose face was full of anticipation but who was closing her eyes tightly, he asked uncertainly, “Can we?”

Little Yun Hao was six years old now. He was born precocious and knew a lot about the situation at home. Plus, he had memories from a very young age.

He hated the people in the Shen family, he was 心疼 for his parents, but he was too young to do anything, so he could only try his best not to cause his parents any trouble and become an excuse for those people to pick on them.

“You can,” this time, it was Shen Yanrong who spoke first, “Daddy and Mommy will go with you tomorrow.”

Little Xin Yue opened her eyes, she couldn’t believe it. After receiving a positive answer from her parents, she was very happy, and her smiling eyes became two crescent moons.

Little Yun Hao looked very mature, “You don’t have to accommodate us.”

Every time they went to the Shen family, they would encounter all sorts of strange things. To avoid unnecessary trouble, they would come and go in a hurry. He didn’t want to cause his parents any trouble because of him and his sister.

Shen Yanrong patted his little head, “Don’t think so much at such a young age.”

Lu Yao had planned to take the two children out, but hearing her husband’s words, she didn’t agree.

Shen Yanrong gave her a reassuring look.

Since they had decided to leave this place, there was no need to worry anymore. Before they left, they should let their wife and children have some fun.

Shen Tao, who was in front, saw the curtain being lowered and sneered, country bumpkins who haven’t seen the world, making a fool of themselves.

He rubbed his leg, which was still aching, he would definitely get revenge for this.

The carriage turned onto a side street and turned into an alley. It twisted and turned, people who didn’t know the capital’s terrain would easily be lost.

They didn’t know how long they had been driving, but finally, the carriage slowly stopped.

“Young Master Shen, we’re here.”

Li Shan’s voice came from outside the carriage.

Shen Yanrong lifted a corner of the curtain and looked out. The dark alley was completely dark, but his eyesight was still good, he could vaguely make out some contours and guessed where they were.

He lowered the curtain, put Little Yun Hao in his arms to the side, and was about to get out and see the situation before he said anything, but he heard Shen Tao’s sarcastic voice:

“Young Master Shen, are you going to make us beg you to get out of the carriage?”

“Well, you are the master…”

The carriage curtain was lifted at this moment, Shen Tao was startled, he sarcastically said in annoyance, “Oh, Young Master Shen, you finally deigned to come out?”

Shen Yanrong ignored his sarcasm, he looked at the small door in front of him and sneered, “You’re really making it difficult for you.”
