Chapter 162: Being on guard against others is essential
"Who would have a conflict with that kind of person?"
Ji Mo rolled his eyes in anger, annoyed that Li Yaoguang was bringing up such irrelevant issues, but he was also afraid that the girl whom he had rarely recognized would suffer, so he could not help but endure it and gave the instructions with gritted teeth.
"Anyway, I am the big brother you recognized yourself, so you have to listen to me. Would the big brother hurt you? That man is not a good person, so you should stay away from him."
Cheng Su, who was standing by, saw the two talking about these things. Although he did not want to make any malicious assumptions about the little girl, after spending such a long time together, he knew that Ji Mo was not the kind of person who would speak without purpose. Since he had said so, and thinking back to Xu Miaoniang's performance when they were in danger in Wuding Prefecture that day, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
Looking at his own child, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"Sister Guang, Brother Mo said something right. You should always be on guard against others."
What did he mean? Li Yaoguang, who was talking to Ji Mo, couldn't help but look at his uncle.
Being stared at by his own child, Cheng Su no longer concealed the truth. After confirming that Xu Miaoniang and her brother had not arrived yet, he told Li Yaoguang about Xu Miaoniang's reaction when they were in danger in Wuding and boarding the ship. Only then did Li Yaoguang realize that there was another reason why they were slow to board the ship.
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but she didn't notice that someone under the fence next to her was rubbing his chin, mumbling the word "Shen Yue" in a trance.
With the reminders from his uncle and Ji Mo, Li Yaoguang still took it to heart and secretly paid attention when he set out on the road again.
It would have been fine if she hadn't observed it. After observing it, Li Yaoguang found that Xu Miaoniang was a very strange person. She was very tolerant and resentful. She had secretly seen several times that when this person was facing away from her, she looked at her with a sinister look, but when she looked at her, her expression would quickly change and become gentle and amiable.
That kind of people……
Li Yaoguang shuddered subconsciously, followed the advice, and secretly became defensive. He just wanted to settle the siblings as soon as he got to the place, and from then on they would go their separate ways. With this secret thought in mind, he stayed away from Xu Miaoniang. Even Yu Meixue was carefully warned by her husband behind her back.
Xu Miaoniang was a very sensitive person, so of course she noticed the attitude of Li Yaoguang's family. She thought that among the group of people, only Yangge'er and Yige'er seemed unaware of it.
As they approached Yangzhou City, Xu Miao Niang, who had been silently enduring all this, became more and more anxious and sensitive. She was often distracted, looked haggard, and was also sad about the passing of time.
Yi Ge'er watched all this silently and was anxious. He racked his brains to try to make his sister, who depended on him for everything, happy. Unfortunately, Xu Miaoniang was unmoved and looked depressed. Yi Ge'er didn't even know what his sister was thinking because she never told him.
Gradually, he even played less with Yang Ge'er, as he was worried about his elder sister. The little guy became quieter and quieter day by day, and this atmosphere continued until they entered Yangzhou City.
It is said that fireworks are everywhere in Yangzhou in March, which is the most beautiful season in Yangzhou. However, Yangzhou in early spring is also extremely beautiful.
Yangzhou is a big city and an important city for salt transportation. It is heavily guarded. Now that it is safe and the people are living in peace, they naturally need to enter the city to rest. In addition, when they parted in Wuding, Gu Dajia and the others said they would settle down in Yangzhou. Now that they are here, Li Yaoguang is also ready to look for and meet old friends.
When the group entered the city, Li Yaoguang wanted to find a nice inn to stay in as usual, as she was not short of money anyway. However, Ji Mo stopped her. When they arrived in Yangzhou, he was considered a local tyrant.
The roots of Qijitang are deep in Wugong Mountain, and its external medicine halls are spread all over Dajing. The main branch, Jiqitang, is responsible for the south of the Yangtze River and the coastal areas. Yangzhou is also an important branch, and naturally there are many industries here.
When they got here, how could Ji Mo let his recognized friend live in a useless inn? He stopped Li Yaoguang and took him to his villa, which was his private property. The villa was so large, with servants and women, pavilions and towers, elegant and luxurious. Ji Mo ordered everyone to serve them well. Even Xu Miaoniang and her brother were arranged to stay in the courtyard farthest from the main courtyard. The servants did not neglect them, which made Xu Miaoniang's heart, which was originally ashamed and angry, beat slowly.
Early that morning, seeing her brother coming to talk to her again, Xu Miaoniang changed her usual indifferent attitude and gently took her brother's hand to show concern. Yi Ge'er was so happy that he excitedly threw himself into her arms.
"That's great, elder sister, you're finally well!"
"Silly brother, I'm sorry for what I did recently. I'll never do it again."
"That's good, as long as you are well, elder sister."
Yi Ge'er threw himself into Xu Miao Niang's arms, feeling the tenderness of his sister caressing his head. Immediately, Xu Miao Niang's gentle voice rang out above his head.
"By the way, Brother Yi, why didn't you go play with Brother Yang today? Aren't you two the best friends?"
How could Yige'er, a little kid, think too much and know that his sister was trying to find out something behind his words? Yige'er was so happy that he stayed in his sister's arms and cuddled her, innocent and defenseless.
"Brother Yang is not free today. Sister Yaoguang and Doctor Ji took him out. They said they were going to visit friends and take a stroll."
Xu Miaoniang raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She paused her stroking hands and said in a sharp voice, "Why didn't you go with them? But they were so biased as not to take you with them and left you behind on purpose?"
Yige shook his head quickly, "No, elder sister, sister Yaoguang also invited me and asked me if I wanted to go shopping together. It was me, it was me..." He was worried about his sister and didn't feel comfortable with her being alone, so he declined sister Yaoguang's kindness and the concern of uncle and aunt Cheng. He just wanted to accompany his sister. He didn't want his sister to misunderstand and get anxious. He was afraid that his sister would miss him too much and feel sad again. Yige explained quickly, "elder sister, it was Yier who wanted to accompany you."
Xu Miao Niang glanced at her anxious brother, loosened her hand, and said angrily, "Who wants you to accompany me?"
When Yi Ge'er saw that his sister was angry, his little body trembled, but he was still more worried than afraid, so he came up timidly and tried to speak carefully and nervously.
"Elder, elder sister, please don't be unhappy. Yi'er only has you. Yi'er wants you to be happy and live happily every day. She doesn't want you to be sad."
Dad once said that he was a man and the support of his mother and eldest sister. Although his parents were gone, he was still here! He wanted his eldest sister to be happy, so he smiled. The little guy held Xu Miaoniang's hand, ignoring her dark face, and asked cautiously and expectantly.
"Eldest sister, your birthday is coming soon. Can you tell Yi'er what you like?"
"What do you like?" Xu Miaoniang fell into deep thought, murmuring, "I like a smooth and happy life, I like gorgeous clothes and accessories, I like delicious food..." I like having servants to serve me when I go in and out, I like everyone to respect me, like the girls envied me like before, and I like having a handsome and considerate lover who is hard to find...
It’s a pity that none of these belong to me.
My lover took me away but left me behind, without even considering whether my fragile self would be in danger;
The lover would rather accompany a yellow-haired girl to go shopping and visit friends than to look at me. God is really cruel...
