Chapter 149: Sudden Recourse
The "she" He Sui said must be Sister-in-law Ye, and there are two pieces of information revealed by this passage: first, this Sister-in-law Ye is a servant woman who has only recently entered the He family; Second, the Huang family threw a servant woman who didn't know how to serve to her daughter, which shows that she didn't take He Sui seriously at all, and only threw her heart on her two sons.
He Sui's grievances are thought to come from this.
Li Xi looked at her with a little sympathy, and said softly: "My sister is too polite, it's okay." ”
Chen Ying still didn't say anything, but her eyes swept over Sister-in-law Ye on the side, and she always felt that the aura exuded from her body was a little familiar.
The "babbling" sound only sounded for a short time, and after the body shook a few times, it returned to its previous stability, presumably on the official road.
"Now you can." In the silent carriage, Sister-in-law Ye opened her mouth again, her tone was flat, and she really didn't look like a subordinate should have, and then she lifted the curtain with one hand, her movements were a little clumsy, as if she didn't often do this kind of thing.
But Chen Ying noticed that the amplitude of her lifting the curtain was almost the same as before, and even the shadows of the sun sweeping on the ground were the same as before.
Li Xi quietly kicked Chen Ying with her toes, with a smile on her face.
It was about the first time in her world that she had seen such a clumsy and self-talking maid, so she thought it was very new and interesting.
Chen Ying returned her with a reassuring smile, and her attention was more focused on Sister-in-law Ye.
This taciturn maid gave her a special feeling. In the eyes of Mr. Detective, this unique person is always attractive.
The carriage continued to move forward, and the scenery outside the carriage was the same, even if the autumn sun was shining, it could not hide its desolation.
However, the scene can be emotionally relaxing.
Compared with the miserable situation of those displaced people, no matter how barren the natural scenery is, it will not make people worry.
Li Xi had forgotten what he saw outside the city gate at this time, and pulled He Sui to the window to talk, Chen Ying was a little uneasy, and continued to wipe the bowstring, while silently calculating the speed and distance in his mind.
The carriage had already gone out about ten miles, and Ni should have seen the strange letter.
But I don't know what is written in that letter?
Chen Ying thought in his heart, and his subordinates kept moving.
At this moment, the car shook suddenly, and then the hoofs sounded, and the carriage actually galloped wildly.
Li Xi and He Sui were defenseless, screamed, and both fell to the side.
Sister-in-law Ye, who had been sitting silently in the corner, reacted surprisingly quickly at the moment, and pushed the two back into place as soon as she stretched out her hand, and Rao was like this, and the two little girls were also frightened.
Chen Ying's movements were also very fast, and she grabbed Xun Zhen next to her with her backhand, helping her stabilize her figure, and asked in a voice, "What's wrong outside?" ”
The sound of wheels rumbling across the ground, mixed with the sound of swift horses' hooves, thundered in her ears, and her questioning was completely drowned out.
"I'm going to Zhaoyuan County." There was a low sound of iron grinding in the carriage.
Chen Ying looked at Sister-in-law Ye.
Sister-in-law Ye finally stopped sitting in the corner in silence.
I don't know when, she was already squatting by the window, while constantly looking out, while raising her hand to push Li Xi.
It seemed to be a very casual action, but the two women couldn't help themselves, and they moved to Chen Ying's position with her strength.
Li Xi and He Sui's faces turned even paler, and they couldn't speak for a while.
"Who are you?" Chen Ying asked, but the action of wiping the bow and arrow did not stop, and one hand seemed to hold the middle of the arrow unintentionally, taking the momentum of the backhand.
"You don't know." Sister-in-law Ye's gaze swept over her, and she turned around and said absently, as if she was not in good spirits, but her eyes looked out of the window, but they were as sharp as an eagle falcon, and her body was always firmly guarded by the window.
Chen Ying stared at her for a while, her expression was slightly relaxed, she put down her arrows, and beckoned to Li Xi: "Cousin, Second Miss He, you sit down here." ”
It wasn't until this moment that Li Xi and He Sui seemed to have finally understood the situation, He Sui's face became more and more pale, and he said hurriedly: "Third Miss Chen, I really don't know if she is ......"
When she said this, her voice became softer, and she timidly glanced in the direction of Sister-in-law Ye.
The strength that Sister-in-law Ye had just shown, and the kind of strength that could not be controlled at all, made her instinctively afraid.
"Don't be afraid, she should have been sent by my uncle to protect us." Chen Ying's voice was calm.
Sister-in-law Ye glanced at Chen Ying, there was no expression on her indifferent face, only a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth at her: "The position where the Venerable Driver is now is the weakest point of this car's defense. This is an official road, the road is smooth and free of bandits, and the only thing that galloping carriages need to guard against is the attack of cold arrows, so the windows are the most dangerous. Just then did the two of them push away, and they stayed here, and their attitude was calm, and they didn't see any malice. From this, I have come to the conclusion that you are a friend and foe. ”
She paused here and added, "Besides, the carriage suddenly accelerated, but there was no screaming and shouting outside, so it is evident that the servants must have been instructed in advance. If I guessed correctly, when I was two miles away from the city, my aunt read my uncle's letter, and made the current arrangement according to the letter. Going to Zhaoyuan County should also be my uncle's idea. ”
Speaking of this, she pulled Li Xi, who had listened to the stupid one a long time ago, and whispered: "You sit next to me, don't fall." ”
Li Xi nodded dumbly, as if he didn't understand what Chen Ying was talking about at all.
Sister-in-law Ye was also nodding, nodded, and spit out a word in her mouth: "Yes." ”
Then, she turned her head to stare out the window again, and the momentum on her body became more and more obvious.
"Cousin, this is ...... What's going on? Li Xi asked softly, while tightly pulling Chen Ying's sleeve.
In the end, she is not an ordinary girl, and she has gradually understood at this moment.
Chen Ying patted her back comfortingly, and said calmly: "I don't know what's going on, but I can guess, are you willing to listen?" ”
Li Xi raised a pale face that was obviously frightened, smiled reluctantly, but his voice was trembling: "I...... I'd like to hear it. ”
When she said this, she looked at Sister-in-law Ye with jealousy, with a little beast-like vigilance in her eyes.
The kind of Jianghu aura exuded by Sister-in-law Ye made her extremely repulsive.
It was the smell of another world, which was completely contrary to the world she was familiar with, and the rules, constraints, and hierarchical relationships that prevailed in this world could well become useless in that world.
Or rather, Li Xi was shocked by the simpler, more direct, and more barbaric laws of the other world.
At this moment, she is more willing to listen to the people on her side than to face strangers in a strange world - such as Sister-in-law Ye.
