Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 410: Love Twists and Turns

The next day, Chu Fengmian woke up at dawn. After a quick wash, he came to the counter with a distracted look on his face. He hurriedly said a few words to the shopkeeper, "Please take care of the inn's affairs these days. If there's anything important, I'll handle it when I get back."

After saying this, without waiting for the shopkeeper's response, he strode away and headed towards where Shen Li was.

Soon, Chu Fengmian caught up with Shen Li and his group. At this time, Shen Li was directing everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to set off.

Seeing Chu Fengmian rushing over, she nodded slightly. Shen Li thought that the space in the car was limited, so she put the little koi back into the space. After showing the three little ones and the warhorse yesterday, she put the space back into the space again.

Bai Fan turned back into a white jade bracelet and returned it to her wrist.

But who could have imagined that when Chu Fengmian arrived, he would go straight into the carriage. The carriage was not spacious to begin with, and when he squeezed in, the interior instantly became cramped.

Not only that, he also did something more extreme. He raised his chin towards Chu Qiu and said in a casual yet unquestionable tone: "You, get out."

Chu Qiu's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment and grievance. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, Chu Fengmian continued, "Look at Fu Sheng, a grown man, driving a cart alone. How hard it must be. It's such a long journey, he needs someone to talk to and relieve his boredom, right? Why don't you go down and join him?"

Shen Li sat in the car with a frown on her face, quite dissatisfied with Chu Fengmian's unreasonable behavior.

But considering that they still had to travel together, it was not convenient for him to lose his temper on the spot, so he could only suppress the anger in his heart.

Chu Qiu had no choice but to bite her lip and reluctantly get off the carriage, sitting side by side with Fusheng in the driver's seat.

Fusheng glanced at Chuqiu, who looked aggrieved, and sighed softly, saying to her in a soothing voice, "It's okay. We'll be more comfortable outside."

As for Chu Fengmian, he sat in the car as if nothing had happened, with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was very satisfied with his arrangements.

Inside the carriage, Shen Li looked at Chu Fengmian's calm demeanor and finally couldn't help but ask, "Pavilion Master Chu, our carriage can clearly accommodate everyone, but you chose to kick Chu Qiu out. Is there some hidden meaning behind this?"

As soon as she said this, she started to think about it. As the head of Tianji Pavilion, Chu Fengmian has always been cunning in his actions. There might be other hidden secrets behind this move.

Chu Fengmian glanced at her nonchalantly after hearing this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said with a half-smile, "Girl, can't you give your brain a break? You've been thinking about this and that all day long. In your eyes, I, the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion, have no dignity at all!"

Shen Li didn't buy it. She raised a mischievous smile and said bluntly, "You look so nonchalant, and you still have the nerve to talk about authority? I don't see any of it." As she spoke, she deliberately looked Chu Fengmian up and down, her eyes full of ridicule.

The lively scene of people coming and going in the carriage was seen by everyone.

Su Ran sat in the corner, silent, his eyes moving back and forth between Shen Li, his master Chu Fengmian, and Luo Lingchen, his heart filled with resentment.

The methods Shen Li displayed yesterday woke him up from his dream. He was shocked to realize that although he had been guarding her by her side for many years, he had never really understood this girl.

He bit his lower lip tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white due to the force. The scenes of their past interactions kept flashing in his mind, but now they all had a strange air.

In comparison, Nangong Qi may be the happiest among these people.

When he heard Chu Fengmian assert that Shen Li would become the empress in the future, his heart was instantly filled with joy.

In Nangong Qi's heart, nothing is more important than being with Shen Li.

Even if he could only become a concubine in the future and occupy a corner in her glorious life, he would be happy with it.

Nangong Qi's lips curled up unconsciously, and he gazed at Shen Li gently. A picture of the future had already been outlined in his mind: in that magnificent palace, he would accompany Shen Li and witness her heroic figure in governing the world.

No matter the changing situation in the court or the trivial daily life in the palace, as long as he can stay by her side and share her joys and sorrows, it is the greatest happiness in his life.

Luo Lingchen looked at Shen Li, who could easily joke and get along with everyone, but his heart was filled with jealousy.

Especially when he thought of Chu Fengmian's assertion, his heart felt like it was being pulled hard.

In the future, Shen Li will own a kingdom and will be surrounded by all kinds of people. Doesn't that mean that someone will share everything with her?

Luo Lingchen's eyes dimmed unconsciously, his expression filled with loneliness and worry.
