On the second day, Wen Jiu recovered his composure. Xie Qi had also said that the house plate that Xie Heng gave her seemed to be more useful than any kind of medicine. He immediately asked the attendant and the servants to arrange a carriage for her and help her return to mother.

Xie Qi also said that he wanted to go.

Wen Jiu looked at the sky, "Although the sun is shining brightly now, I do not know when it will rain again. Isn't the Third Brother going to lecture you later? I'll be back soon. "

Xie Qi nodded, and said unhappily: "Then come back earlier."

After instructing Wen Jiu to bring along his maidservants and attendant s, Wen Jiu was unable to push them away, hence he brought along someone called Tu Mei and a coachman, and went back to the Wen family.

She leaned against the carriage and wondered.

The relationship between Xie Qi and the few young masters of Xie Family seemed to be especially good. When Fourth Young Master was outside, he would ask attendant to bring some small things back to Xie Qi from time to time.

It was no wonder that when Xie Qi's brothers saw her escaping in her previous life, they would have wanted to send her to hell.

The carriage was bumpy, and Wen Jiu was feeling sleepy as he leaned against it.

It had been a habit in the past to be busy all day long, but every time she sat in a carriage or in a sedan chair, she would take the chance to catch up on her sleep, causing her to fall into a state of slumber whenever she swayed.

"Fifth Young Madame."

"Which way do you like to go?"

Wen Jiu said: "Let's go to the government."

Ever since her father had fallen and become crippled, with no source of income in the family, Mrs. Wen set up a tea stand on the road, selling cold tea in the summer and boiling wine in the winter.

Although the Changping County wasn't a rich place, it connected to all directions, and it was the only way for all parties to travel to and from this place. Mrs. Wen worked hard to earn money and barely managed to support his family.

He might not even be able to see the mother when he goes home, so he might as well go to the tea stand.

Wen Jiu squinted for a while, opened the curtain, and saw that from afar, it was a simple shed made of straw. Mrs. Wen was dressed in old clothes that had turned yellow, and was busy with work, greeting a few customers who were passing by.

Wen Jiu got off the carriage, rolled up his sleeves and walked over to help.

Mrs. Wen saw that her face was filled with joy and immediately stopped her, "Don't dirty your clothes." He then wiped the cloth on the table, "There aren't many people here, so there's no hurry. You can take a seat here first."

"Let me help Madam." Hua Mei was very smart and quickly followed him.

Mrs. Wen said a little awkwardly, "No need, no need." He then took a pot of tea and gave it to the guest at the next table, and also took out two Herbal Tea Eggs and placed it in front of Wen Jiu, "Two of them are broken, it's hard to sell now, this is for you to eat."

"Young Madame ?" Tu Mei wanted to say something, but she hesitated. What treasure could not the Young Madame s of Xie Family eat?

Wen Jiu laughed: "It's even better if it's broken."

When she was young, she would always complain about why the Heavens were so unfair when her family was so poor and she couldn't eat until she was full. Later on, when she was dressed in brocade clothes and had a soft pillow on her bed, she dreamt that the mother was busy, and looked up to smile at her.

From then on, she knew that no matter how rich and powerful she was, not all of her family's health was important.

The guest at the next table continued, "Great Jin countries are getting more and more arrogant. I heard that a few days ago, we went to the imperial capital and requested for a land removal to compensate for the losses. If this goes on, how much more land would our Great Yan have?"

"Ever since the State Duke Heng died with grievances, the entire family has been loyal, loyal, or dead. How could anyone dare to fight in our Great Yan? The attitude of the person up there is truly chilling! "

"That big shot keeps asking for peace. The emperor is old. His sons are thinking about how to win the hearts of others so that they can sit in that position. Who cares if we live or die?"

"Sigh, this world ?"

Since they were all merchants, it would be difficult for these common folk to even eat their fill and dress warmly in this world. How could they have any silver to use to purchase items? Business was getting more and more difficult.

Before long, the few of them each set off on their own journey.

Mrs. Wen called the coachman and Hua Mei to drink a bowl of tea together, and Wen Jiu threw the egg in the bowl to the side of the pile of straw.

Suddenly, he saw traces of blood all the way to the pile of grass. The color in Wen Jiu's eyes slightly changed as he turned around and walked away.

A bloodstained longsword suddenly emerged from the grass and pressed against her neck. "Miss, I don't want to kill you. Don't make a sound."

In fact, if Wen Jiu moved, the sword tip would cut her throat.

"Young Madame ?" When Tu Mei saw that she had not come back for a long time, the moment she walked out of the thatched cottage, she saw a man covered in blood putting a sword on Wen Jiu's neck.

"Don't make a sound." Wen Jiu's voice was calm, "Go and bring the horse over to him."

Hua Mei's legs couldn't even move anymore. She was so scared that she started trembling. "But ?" "Less ?"

"A brave warrior is in trouble here. I think I just need some help."

Wen Jiu had her back facing the man and her body was a little stiff. She forced herself to stay calm and said, "The things I have on me are still worth some silver, so I'll give them to the strong warriors as a plate ?"

The man suddenly leaned over and whispered into her ear, "It seems like you are more valuable."

Wen Jiu saw his face from the corner of his eyes, and all the hairs on his body immediately stood up.

The man who was hiding inside the pile of grass after getting injured was actually Zhao Fan!

When he thought about the humiliation he had suffered at Zhao Fan's place in his previous life, Wen Jiu bit her lips and his body started to tremble uncontrollably.
