After lunch, we set off for our return trip. I had already lost the excitement I had when I came and was starting to feel bored again. Sigh, how could the life of the ancient women be like this? It was rare for them to go out, but they didn't go to the lively places in the market. They came out in a hurry and went back in a hurry. When they took a car, they even used a thick curtain to cover their faces so that no one could see them.
The carriage shook and I felt a little dizzy, so I leaned against Mrs. Qiao and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of someone arguing. I rubbed my eyes and sat up, only to realize that the carriage had stopped.
"Who dares to defy the ban? Take them all for me." It was a man's voice.
I jumped in shock and turned to look at Madam Qiao. She was clearly shocked as well. Her face was pale and her delicate eyebrows were furrowed. It was Madam Qiao's maidservant Cai He who was the quick-witted one, saying,"Madam, I'll go out and take a look first." She lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
I quickly hid behind the curtain and eavesdropped.
"Milord, this is my wife's carriage. There are some women inside. We are here to pay our respects at the Zhuo Long Temple. Sir, are you mistaken? What kind of ban can we break?"
The lord snorted coldly and said,""Today, the emperor has already explicitly prohibited you from paying homage to any Taoist temple. You are knowingly violating the law. How do you know that you are not a rebel of the Yellow Turban Army?”
It turned out that the reason why the Taoist temple was so deserted was because of the ban…But it was no wonder. The Zhang brothers had gathered together to revolt in the name of the heavenly masters. At their peak, the incense offerings in the entire country could not compare to the Imperial City. Now, the Imperial Palace was still in a state of fear, so it was reasonable for them to issue such a ban.
However, we didn't know that. Isn't it too much of a fuss to arrest us for such a small matter?
Cai He said,"So there is such a ban. My Furen usually doesn't go out of the door or step outside, so she really doesn't know." Please understand."
" Little girl, what you said is ridiculous." The adult was obviously impatient." If everyone who committed a crime gave me a 'I didn't know' statement, wouldn't they be exempted from punishment?”"Cut the crap and take him down!"”
Cai He screamed, not knowing what happened to her.
Mrs. Qiao was so scared that she was out of her wits. There was no blood on her face, and she looked like she was about to faint.
F * ck, this doesn't make sense. Isn't it just a misunderstanding? It's fine as long as you make it clear. Why are you so persistent? I despised this adult from the bottom of my heart. I lifted the curtain and jumped down.
Cheng Wu and Jiang Ge called out " Miss " from behind, wanting to pull me back. However, I'm agile. I turned my body slightly and got out of the car.
When everyone saw a little loli jump out of the car, they were obviously stunned.
I smiled proudly in my heart. Not bad, this is the effect I wanted! Watch me fool you.
I stood up straight and said seriously,"Sir, why did you stop our car?”
The adult frowned, probably not wanting to talk to the child. I glanced at him and couldn't help but shiver.
In fact, he was quite good-looking. He was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with handsome facial features, appropriate manners, and good taste in clothes. Logically speaking, he could be considered a handsome and elegant noble son. The problem was that I always felt that the way he looked at people was a little evil. It made my hair stand on end. I didn't know if it was an illusion…
Damn, could it be a perverted pervert? I gulped and mustered my courage."Sir, may I know your name?”
The adult glared at me,"Who is this little girl?"”
Cai He trembled as she replied," Second…Second Young Miss…" Only then did I notice that Cai He had been held up by a soldier and was even shackled.
My anger rose all of a sudden. Seriously, he actually treated a girl like this! Moreover, I seriously suspect that the Imperial Army soldier will take advantage of this opportunity to take advantage of me.
"Don't cause trouble, child. Call your wife out to speak."”
I sneered,"Don't you know that men and women can't give and take clearly?" My mother is the wife of an official with a clean background. You didn't even tell me your name when you came, how would I know your background? Who knew if it wasn't a rebel of the Yellow Turban Army pretending to be an official soldier, causing trouble and cheating people?”
As soon as I finished speaking, even I couldn't help but admire myself. Ah, my high school debate team really wasn't for nothing. Look at how clear our logic is. It's reasonable and well-founded. We're simply geniuses! She managed to intimidate that lord in just a few moves. Yes, yes, it would be a waste if I didn't act like a mother to the world.
When the lord heard this, he was indeed speechless. The expression on his face was really indescribable. After a long time, he said,"I am Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry. I wonder which family's madam is sitting in the car?”
I frowned. Was your surname Xiahou, and then your father…your father…was adopted by a eunuch in the palace? I swallowed the last half of my sentence. The eunuch's adopted son didn't seem to be a glorious thing. It would be rude to ask.
However, it seemed that I spoke too quickly and had already said what I shouldn't have said. Cao Cao's face sank, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, making my heart turn cold. Damn it, this heartless fellow was bullying a child?
Seeing his shifty eyes turn towards the carriage, I hurriedly said,"My father is Lord Qiao. If you bully him like this, he won't forgive you!”I don't care. Although I don't know who my father is, I'll just say it first.
When Cao Cao heard this, his expression changed and he said solemnly,""Is your father the Guanglu Physician, Lord Qiao Xuanqiao?”
Uh, really? He did not know.
But my instincts told me that admitting was the right choice, so I nodded my head vigorously.
Cao Cao's expression softened and his attitude softened. He bowed slightly in the direction of the carriage and said,""I didn't expect you to be Lord Qiao's family.”
Yo, Qiao Xuan's name is quite useful, but the problem is, is he my father? I suddenly realized that I was really confused. I've been here for so long, but I don't even know who my father is…Sigh, who asked me to be the kind of person who doesn't think about tomorrow when there's food to eat?
After a short while, Mrs. Qiao's voice came from behind the curtain.
"General Cao, I really didn't know about the ban. I went rashly and caused you trouble.”
"There's no need to be so polite, Mrs. Qiao," Cao Cao said."Lord Qiao has done me a great favor. When I was down and out, he helped me a lot. I'll always remember that." However…" He changed the topic." Everyone in the capital knows that I, Cao Mengde, do not care about personal affairs. Mrs. Qiao, I know you're innocent, but I have to explain myself.”
"General Cao is right," Madam Qiao said."But how should we deal with this?"”
Cao Cao immediately said," I'll search the carriage. If there's no traitor hiding, then we have a witness. It'll make sense in the future."”
I raised my eyebrows. Strange, these words sounded quite right. Why did I keep feeling that he was up to no good?
Madam Qiao hesitated for a long time before saying,""Forget it, I can't make things difficult for General Cao.”
Cao Cao said,"I'm sorry."
The carriage's curtain was lifted, and a few servant girls helped Madam Qiao out of the carriage. I quickly ran over.
Cao Cao's eyes were fixed on Madam Qiao, and he didn't say anything.
Meow, damn lecher! I stomped my foot and said,"There are only a few of us in the carriage. General Cao, go and take a look. There are definitely no traitors." It's almost dark. Hurry up and take a look. We're rushing back!”
Cao Cao seemed to have just come to his senses. A suspicious blush appeared on his handsome face as he ordered his subordinates to search.
The result was obvious. After the search, Cao Cao kept his promise and clapped his hands to let us pass.
I got back into the carriage and pulled open the curtains to look behind me. Cao Cao did not leave. Instead, he stared in the direction of the carriage with a meaningful gaze. I looked at Mrs. Qiao, who seemed to be completely oblivious to the situation. However, I felt a faint sense of unease.
