Chapter 37: The Madwoman
Pan Yingying stood still, her smile still gentle, "Cousin, you have also been practicing in the temple for 8 years. Have you met those outstanding men?"
Liu Pianran was choked. How could she explain this? Should she say that she had seen him in her previous life? Or that she had seen him while practicing in the temple? Unless she wanted to die immediately.
She could only change the subject awkwardly, holding Pan Yingying's soft and delicate hand with her roughened hand, "Cousin, let's not talk about this. I came here this time to buy another dose of medicine for my uncle. He just won't get better. Mother said that I should drink two more bowls of medicine first, and when we get to the county town, I'll find a way to send my uncle to the city's clinic to see a doctor."
Pan Yingying lowered her eyes and looked at her folded hands.
One is well maintained, like a real daughter, and the other is rough like a country peasant girl.
Liu Pianran followed her gaze and retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted.
"My family said whether to buy or not, it's my turn to honor my uncle." Pan Yingying said, and whispered to the carriage: "Husband, bring us a pack of each of our medicines."
Yu Chaosheng's voice sounded outside the carriage, "Okay, my lady, I'll go right away."
Liu Pianran's face froze. When did the peasant come outside the carriage? How much did he hear?
Liu Pianran was thinking about this question until she left, but she did not see any emotion on Yu Chaosheng's face. He was still the same, gentle and polite to others, just like those elegant young men from noble families she had met in the capital in her previous life.
Watching her leave, Yu Chaosheng's face darkened and he turned to glare at Pan Yingying, "Hey! Don't leave me!"
That crazy woman actually dared to look down on him and let the crazy woman find a better one. Bah! In the entire Dayu Dynasty, only he and the crazy woman are the most suitable! They are from the same era, and they understand each other. They know each other. They are the best match!
Pan Yingying rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're just being sloppy."
Yu Chaosheng hugged her arm and laughed, "Hehe," "Sister Pan still knows me best."
When Zhao came over and heard this, she coughed twice in embarrassment.
Yu Chaosheng let go of Pan Yingying's arm, said hello to Zhao, and went to find a few younger ones. Today it was his turn to teach the children how to kill.
Without waiting for Zhao to ask, Pan Yingying repeated word for word what Liu Pianran had said to her.
Zhao's face was ugly, and she spat viciously, "I'd like to find a chance to ask him how the Liu family taught their daughter!"
Pan Yingying shook her head, "Mom, the Liu family may not know Liu Pianran's plan."
Ever since Liu Pianran said that just now, she is now unwilling to call her "cousin" even for the sake of face.
Zhao recalled the Liu family's family tradition and concluded, "It must be that the Xie family's offspring is not good."
Pan Yingying: ...
"Mom, I always feel that she has some conspiracy. We should be careful about everything recently." She gave Zhao a shot of prevention in advance.
Yu Chaosheng has a very accurate sixth sense. He intuitively feels that something bad is going to happen recently, and that must be correct.
The last time bandits attacked was proof of that. She guessed that it must be his golden finger that could sense danger.
Zhao curled her lips and suddenly looked at Pan Yingying seriously, "Yingying, if you can't reach the county, send a call to the Dragon Shadow Guard. When you arrive in Yaocheng, their people may be gathered."
Pan Yingying didn't want to do it too much. She couldn't afford to feed 2000 people, how much money it would cost.
But when she met Zhao's hopeful gaze, she could only nod. She thought that Zhao wanted her to recall the Dragon Shadow Guard because she was thinking about her.
There is already a Liu Pianran who knows the existence of the Dragon Shadow Guards and knows the jade token to summon them. There is no guarantee that there won’t be Zhang Pianran or Li Pianran. It is safer to have the Dragon Shadow Guards protecting you.
After confirming with Zhao about recalling the Dragon Shadow Guard, Pan Yingying began to think about how to earn a large sum of money in the shortest time possible.
Those 2000 people had to survive in Yaocheng, not to mention that after so many years, if they got married and had children or took in one or two apprentices to inherit their legacy...Oh my God! She couldn't even imagine how many people that would be!
So, money, money, she needs money, lots of it!
"Why are you frowning again? What did your mother-in-law say?" Yu Chaosheng, with a candy in his mouth and drying clothes in his hands, saw Pan Yingying's expression and asked quickly.
Pan Yingying sighed, thinking that this second-generation rich man would not be able to help her, but she could still bring it up for discussion. Two cobblers are better than two-thirds of a Zhuge Liang.
"I want to recall the Dragon Shadow Guard, but I don't have the money."
Yu Chaosheng folded his clothes and put them in the carriage. Hearing this, he exclaimed, "I thought it was a big deal."
Pan Yingying's eyes widened. How could this second-generation rich kid have a solution? Why didn't she believe it?
Yu Chaosheng pushed himself up with both hands, sat on the carriage, and patted the seat next to him to greet Pan Yingying.
Pan Yingying jumped up and sat next to him. "Tell me quickly, if your method works, we'll split the profits according to the old rules."
Yu Chaosheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister Pan is very generous."
After saying this, he told her his suggestions in detail. Pan Yingying's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she couldn't wait to set out to earn those huge amounts of money.
……
……
After Liu Mingxuan drank the medicine and lay down, Liu Mingwu took Liu Pianran back to where the mother and daughter slept.
Liu Pianran lowered her voice and spoke coquettishly to Liu Mingwu, "Mother, when we get to the county town, let's go in and buy some supplies." She didn't dare say that the things sold by her little cousin and her gang were too expensive. It was obvious that they were deliberately taking advantage of them, a group of fugitives.
Liu Mingwu put down the bag in her hand and untied it. She took out a small blanket from it and put it on the ground, then let Liu Pianran lie on it.
She also wanted to go into the city to do some shopping. Which prisoner didn't want to? But the key point was that the officials would not let them in.
"We can't get in." Liu Mingwu said helplessly. No amount of silver would do the trick.
Liu Pianran lay on the blanket and blinked mischievously, "Don't worry, mother, I have a way, just follow me when the time comes."
Liu Mingwu was skeptical. Her daughter had been well-educated and well-mannered since childhood, but unfortunately she was not a very smart person. She didn't know whether the method she said would work.
Liu Pianran saw her mother's expression, reacted, and cursed herself in her heart for not being cautious enough. She smiled and tried to make amends, "It was my little cousin who helped me think of this solution. They will meet us in the city when the time comes. We can just give the things we bought to her, and she will bring them out for us later."
Liu Mingwu didn't understand. "Then just ask them to help with the shopping. Why do we have to go in?"
Liu Pianran was choked, but quickly came to her senses and replied with a worried look, "The main reason is that I also want to go to the clinic to see a doctor. I'm worried that there may be some root cause of my previous illness."
