leting his mission, he was utterly extinguished.Ripple then slipped into the shopping mall and dragged over two sections of counter from the side, plugging up the broken glass. She didn't immediately..."Ripple, you're so quick-witted!"
Wang Zhenzhen said with a smile.
"Auntie Zhen has to return to Wang's family, isn't that like sending herself to their doorstep"
Ripples tilted her head and asked.
"I left the Wang family to heal at sixteen and it has been eighteen years. Apart from attending your mother's wedding, I haven't shown my face at the Wang family. The time I went down the mountain to bring you back to the Su Nü Palace, I only sent a letter of well-being to your grandmother. Our correspondence these years hasn't been frequent either."
Your grandmother, for my and your safety, generally doesn't reach out to me proactively.
Now the Wang family should be handed over to Wang Yaohui. Your great-grandfather's health is deteriorating every day. If you wait for your great-grandfather to pass away, your grandmother's situation will become very bleak. Besides, some people are making underhanded moves privately. If I don't show up, it will be your grandmother who suffers.
As a daughter, I have already failed to fulfill her wishes by not marrying and having children. If I cannot ensure my mother's peace and tranquility in her old age, then all that I have learned at the Pure Maiden's Palace over these years would be meaningless."
Wang Zhenzhen said calmly.
"I understand that Lian Yi will listen to Auntie Zhen's arrangements and protect Grandma."
Ringlets smiled in reply.
“As for matters concerning the family, because I have been away for too long, my knowledge is limited. Your grandmother would not bother me with family affairs anyway, she only lets me focus on my studies at Su Nu Palace. So, to fully understand the current situation of the Wang family, we will have to wait until we meet your grandmother.”
Wang Zhenzhen knew that there would definitely be a tough battle waiting for her when she went back, so she didn't hide anything from Lianyi.
"Aunt Zhen, rest assured. We'll meet any challenge head-on! In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are mere paper tigers. Now that we've made our presence known, the mastermind behind this will eventually step out of the shadows."
They looked at each other and smiled, then waved their whips, urging the leisurely horse into a run. They had to leave the Su Nü Palace's grounds within the day and avoid those who were watching them.
The two traveled for three days before finding a small town to rest in. The town wasn't very big, and the only people passing through were merchants. Business at the inn was fairly good; Ripples and Auntie Zhen could only get an upstairs room, and that was because the person who had reserved it hadn't arrived yet. The innkeeper only gave it to them then.
After washing away the dust and fatigue of their journey, and having finished dinner, the two retired early for the night.
Of course, when traveling, one must always be cautious. Ripples had been set up in the room; if any scoundrels dared to enter, they would surely meet with misfortune. The night passed peacefully until just before dawn, when a commotion and shouts suddenly erupted within the inn.
When ripples were in the Sùnnǚ Palace, she would always wake up early to practice her kung fu, so when it was time, she naturally woke up. As for Wang Zhēnzhēn, she was very sensitive to sounds, so after hearing the commotion, she had already gotten up.
The two walked outside, naturally unable to wear the training uniforms of the Pure Woman's Palace. They both changed into short-sleeved riding outfits that were convenient for movement. Wang Zhenzhen wore a light blue outfit, while Lian Ri wore a bright red one. Neither of them had any extra accessories, but they were very eye-catching.
Yesterday, when I entered the town, it was already late, so I didn't attract much attention. Today, the two of us weren't planning on going out for a stroll and were preparing to have a good rest for the day. We were going to set off as soon as the sun rose tomorrow, who knew we would be disturbed so early.
Just as the two people had finished dressing, someone knocked on the door, very roughly. At first glance, it didn't look like anything good.
Just as Liàn Yī was about to go forward and open the door, he was stopped by Wáng Zhēnzhēn:
"Ripple, you pack your things up. If you're not tired, we'll set off in a while."
"Yes, Aunt Zhen."
The ripples nodded in agreement.
The main thing is Wang Zhenzhen's burden, her burden is just for show, everything is in the space, no need to carry it herself.
After Ripples tidied everything up, Wang Zhenzhen also sent the person who knocked on the door away.
Let's go!
"These people are so domineering, they clearly missed the reservation day and now they're ordering us to leave!"
Listening to the ripples of their conversation, he naturally knew what was going on.
"It's no big deal! The innkeeper doesn't dare offend these people, so he can only take it out on us. But the companion who came with us said that we'll get a full refund for tonight's room charge, so we won't lose anything."
Wang Zhenzhen didn't mind these things.
The two went downstairs and straight to collect the returned silver, but just as they were taking it, the inn's door "bang" shut from the inside. Two burly men with menacing faces blocked the doorway.
At this sight, the shop owner immediately ducked under the counter and hid. It seemed he was used to such situations.
"Two beauties, you have taken the room that this young master reserved. Are you going to pay for it"
A boisterous voice rang out from the corner.
Ripples and Wang Zhenzhen turned their heads and saw a young man in fine clothes sitting at a table in the corner of the hall. He was unremarkable in appearance, but his clothes made him look impressive. At this moment, he was proudly raising his chin and looking at the two of them.
A number of burly men stood beside the young man in fine clothes. One could tell at a glance, from their bulging arms, that they were martial artists, undoubtedly bodyguards for the young man. Roughly speaking, there were fifteen people standing in the inn's hall.
At this time, besides them, there were only the two women, Ripple and Wang Zhenzhen, in the hall. Ignoring the shopkeeper and his assistants who were hiding, it must have been this group of people who drove everyone else away after all that commotion before.
"Sir, you are being quite domineering. You missed your reserved room and now you're making things difficult for us two frail women. What reason do you have"
After looking the young man over, Ripple finally smiled and spoke.
This young master came out in a hurry this time and is lacking a maid to serve tea and water, as well as someone to chat with and relieve boredom. I see that the two of you are a perfect fit, so just stay by my side. Your room and board will be free of charge, and I'll give you some benefits later on to protect you both from harm.
The young gentleman put on a show, opening a folding fan and pretending to be suave, he fanned himself twice.
Wang Zhenzhen's face was expressionless. Lian Ri still smiled sweetly and asked:
"Excuse me, sir, where are you headed If your path lies in our direction, we would be honored to accompany you."
"That must be the right way to go, even if it's not, it has to be! This young master is going to Longxi this time."
"Wow! It's really on the way, so let's go with you."
The young man paused, fanning himself with a slight hesitation. He hadn't expected such quick agreement from the two of them. He eyed Ripple and his companion with a hint of suspicion.
"Well, young master, are you afraid we'll harm you Then let us go ourselves. Have your attendants open the gate. Don't waste our time."w large swords and wooden sticks in their car as a pretense, the only gun on Eaglewing was also taken away by those people.Actually, all the weapons were already placed in Wu Lianyi's space beforehand...
