Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen

Chapter 54 Sudden accident

Old Madam Song didn't say anything else, but looked at Xiao Lengyue and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"have eaten."

"That's good. I'll pack up first. Don't rush around because we're leaving soon."

When Song Ye heard this, he said, "I'll go see if I can find another cart."

Song Ye came to the yard and was about to look for something when he saw Xu Yuan walking in hurriedly.

"Master Xu, what happened?"

When Xu Yuan saw Song Ye, he did not hide anything and said, "The town officials received news that a plague has occurred in the town 200 miles away.

If we set out now, we will definitely be infected.

But if we don’t set out, we won’t be able to reach the handover point within the designated time.”

After hearing this, Song Ye pondered for a while and said calmly: "I have a suggestion, you can listen to it."

When Xu Yuan heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "General Song, please speak."

"We will stay for one day today, and one person from each family will go to the town we passed yesterday to buy some supplies.

Tomorrow, we will take a detour to the mountains, so that we can avoid the town."

Xu Yuan knew the other route Song Ye was talking about. He pondered for a while and said, "If we take a detour, it will take about ten more days to travel."

"What if every family had a wooden cart?"

Song Ye finished speaking, without waiting for Xu Yuan to speak, and said: "I have walked on that mountain road before, and wooden carts can pass through.

The reason why people travel slowly now is that there are too many things. If we have a cart, we can travel much faster.”

Xu Yuan pondered for a while, then made up his mind and said, "Then I'll listen to the general. I'll also prepare some medicinal herbs just in case."

After Song Ye finished talking to Xu Yuan, he went to find Xiao Lengyue and the others. When she heard about the plague, Old Lady Song was shocked.

She said in a trembling voice: "What about us?"

Song Ye: "Mom, don't worry, the official said that we should go to the town we passed by yesterday to buy some things today and leave tomorrow.

We took the mountain road, bypassed that town and went directly to the next town.

So think about what else you need to buy besides the cart, because you will be going to the town with the officials soon."

When Xiao Lengyue heard about the plague, she wondered, "How could there be a plague in this season?"

Song Ye shook his head, "They didn't know either, they just said that a passing official told them.

Now we can’t be sure whether it is true or not, so we can only prepare for the worst.”

After hearing this, Xiao Lengyue didn't ask any more questions, but her expression became a little solemn.

After a while, I heard Xu Yuan calling someone in the lobby.

After everyone had gathered, he said, "Each family will send one girl to go with us to the town to buy things, and all the men will stay here.

I'll give you a little time to discuss it while I go borrow a mule cart from the waiter."

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, he left. Old Lady Song looked at Sister-in-law Song and Xiao Lengyue. When she was considering who to let go, Xiao Lengyue spoke.

"Mom, let me go. I'm stronger than my sister-in-law and can buy more things."

When Mrs. Song heard this, she said with some guilt: "Xiao Yueyue, I'm going to make you suffer again."

Xiao Lengyue wanted to go for her own reasons. She had space and could buy some more things and put them in the space.

If Mrs. Song goes, the things she can buy will be limited. In this case, it would definitely be better for her to go by herself.

Old Mrs. Song looked at Xiao Lengyue's face, ran directly to the kitchen, took out a burnt firewood from the stove, and came to Xiao Lengyue.

After touching the charcoal with his hand, he directly rubbed it on Xiao Lengyue's face and explained: "Xiaoyue, you have to be patient. When you go out, safety is more important.

Ye'er can't go with you this time. Although you have some self-defense skills, you still have to be on guard against others."

Xiao Lengyue did not refute, but just stood there quietly and let Old Lady Song do it herself.

Old Mrs. Song did not apply it randomly. After she finished applying it all, she saw that Xiao Lengyue's face became much more ordinary. It was impossible to tell that it was applied with charcoal.

Old Madam Song looked at her face, frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoyue, remember to buy some rouge.

Next time when you need it, use rouge. This stuff is too damaging to the skin."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Okay."

So, when Xiao Lengyue appeared in front of everyone, they were shocked.

Xu Yuan saw Xiao Lengyue's face and said nothing, "Each family takes a backpack, and then they set off."

Xiao Lengyue took the backpack from Song Ye, and seeing that he didn't let go, she looked at him in confusion.

Song Ye looked at her and said seriously, "Come back early, I'll wait for you."

Xiao Lengyue nodded, "Okay."

"Yue'er, don't lie to me."

Hearing this, Xiao Lengyue smiled and said, "I'm not kidding, don't worry."

Hearing Jun Wu joking, Song Ye laughed helplessly. He did not correct her. He just helped her put on the backpack and sent her out of the lobby.

Sister Song looked at their backs and whispered to Old Lady Song, "Mom, Xiao Yueyue, our daughter-in-law, will definitely not run away."

When Old Lady Song heard this, she laughed, and seeing that there was no one around, she whispered, "It looks like he won't run away.

You don’t know how worried I was.”

Mrs. Song nodded quickly, "Me too, I was afraid that when I woke up, Xiao Yueyue would be gone."

Listening to Mrs. Song chattering away, Old Mrs. Song's eyes were full of smiles.

It turned out that this was the true character of her daughter-in-law. She had been very curious before why her naive eldest son would like such a quiet girl. Now, the mystery was finally solved.

Old Mrs. Song saw that Song Tianrui was fascinated by Sister Song, so she picked him up and sat him on a chair, whispering, "What are you looking at?"

"Grandma, my mother is so happy, happier than before."

Old Mrs. Song nodded, "Well, it's good to be happy."

When Song Tianrui heard this, he turned his head to look at Old Lady Song and asked in confusion: "Grandma, don't you think that mother doesn't look like a lady from a wealthy family?"

Old Madam Song shook her head and said, “Grandmother doesn’t like the look of a lady from a wealthy family.

Grandma likes to be her own child.”

After Mrs. Song finished speaking, she looked at Song Tianrui and saw him looking at her in confusion.

Seeing him like that, Old Lady Song touched his face and asked, "Do you like your previous mother or your current mother?"

Song Tianrui said without thinking: "The mother now."

"why?"

Song Tianrui pondered for a while, looked at Sister Song again, and said, “I think my mother is very happy now.

Although my mother used to smile, she never smiled with her teeth showing. "

When Old Lady Song heard this, she sighed and said, “That’s because your mother has been given many identities.

Those identities could not allow her to laugh freely like she does now.

If she was in Beijing and acted like this, people would talk about her.

Many people cannot face those comments directly.”

Song Tianrui nodded as if he understood, and asked, "What about my aunt?"
