C8 All along the Way the Steward Would Count Them

It was already late in the night after the Qin Family had been tidied and tidied up.

In this capital, it was not suitable for them to stay for long.

The next day, when there was someone who came to look for trouble, only the empty courtyard was left …

… ….

In an inn a hundred miles away from the capital.

When Jiang Wan woke up again, she was still lying on the bed with Chixi. Qin Si didn't come back.

She was worried about sleeping with an unfamiliar man and even woke up several times in the middle of the night. When she saw that there was only Chixi on the bed, she immediately felt relieved.

Well, she wasn't ready.

The one guarding Jiang Wan was Second Sister-in-Law Miss Qing.

Jiang Wan was awakened by the rustling sounds. When she opened her eyes, she saw Miss Qing lying on the edge of the bed. At first, she was stupefied.

The two looked at each other, and her young and tender voice rang out, "Aunt, you're awake."

With a silly smile, she explained, "Mother told me to look after you. Are you thirsty and hungry?"

Miss Qing was a good girl, a quiet and obedient girl.

Jiang Wan smiled gently. "Aunt is not thirsty. What time is it now?"

"It's a quarter past one now."

The children of officials usually had to be taught by their teachers. Miss Qing was intelligent, but at the age of four, she was able to recognize the timing.

The woman asked Miss Qing tentatively, "Have I slept till now? Can it be that I have delayed my journey?"

Jiang Wan remembered that she found a place to rest after rushing out of the capital last night. She was too sleepy, so she fell asleep immediately.

"Auntie, you don't have to worry. Third Uncle still need to pack his stuff before we can continue on our journey."

Jiang Wan didn't know what the ancient rules were for being demoted. Listening to her words, she thought to herself: If they kept going like this, they wouldn't have enough money to eat even if they didn't go to that labor place.

Suddenly, the image of Qin Si, with his disheveled hair and dirty face, protecting him behind his back appeared in his mind. His heart was slightly moved. So he was protected by someone like this …

Jiang Wan coughed lightly. Why did she think of him …

When Jiang Wan heard the baby crying, she came back to reality. She smiled and said to her little niece, "Qing Er be good, can you help Auntie get some clothes?"

She first coaxed the awakened little ancestor to sleep.

Sigh, this child is too pitiful. He moved away with his family the moment he was born …

Sister Qing agreed readily. "Sure."

The children were all simple in their minds. If you laughed at her, she laughed too. Miss Qing felt that this aunt of hers had become amiable and her actions were much closer than usual.

Jiang Wan put on her clothes and walked out of the room with Chixi and Sister Qing in her arms.

As soon as she came downstairs with her two children, she saw Mrs Chen sitting at the table.

"Second sister in law."

"Mother."

Miss Qing threw herself at Mrs Chen.

Mrs Chen smiled as she held her daughter in her arms. When she saw that Jiang Wan was wearing so little, she frowned and said in a reproachful tone, "Why did you wear so little to come out? Don't catch a cold."

"Second sister in law, I'm going to Little Jie to look for Cui Liu and ask her to look after Chixi."

Mrs Chen laughed dryly, "I'm too nervous. Let's go, I'll take you to find me. Sister-in-law, we should depart by noon. "

Jiang Wan and Mrs Chen handed the two children to the remaining maidservants as they headed for the restroom.

Jiang Wan said that she didn't want to wear a shirt. Under the warm sun, a gust of wind blew past her, causing her to shiver.

Shame!

The woman sneaked a glance at Mrs Chen. Luckily, she didn't see her …

Jiang Wan thought that Mrs Chen was not an ordinary person, so she pretended to be casual and asked, "Second sister, do we have to be counted by the officials from now on?"

Mrs Chen looked at Jiang Wan in puzzlement. This was all common knowledge, how could she not know?

She wasn't a suspicious person in the first place, and the other party's question was natural as well. She had only treated her as a pregnant fool for three years and had forgotten about it.

Mrs Chen explained, "Of course not. There are only a few big cities in the Kingdom of Meng Yuan. Although it's a long journey, we only have three locations to choose from."

"Oh, that's good. I'm worried about the child …"

Jiang Wan got what she wanted, so she changed the subject. The two sister-in-law and sister-in-law chatted happily.
