Assassin Farmer

Chapter 128: The Congregation (2)

“Can we rent one of your horse carriages?” After having breakfast, Xue Li walked to Lin Si Yao, not hurried at all.
He didn’t want to chase his son on whether to accept them or not.
He just asked to rent one of his carriages and followed him home. 

Yeah, to people with strange nature, one must apply some round-about method like this. 

“No.” Lin Si Yao didn’t lift his head, denying directly. 

“Yes, we have an available carriage.” After grabbing her bags, Su Shuilian was in the middle of walking downstairs when she heard Xue Li’s request.
When A Yao denied them directly, she was afraid that the other would be mad.
No matter what, they were A Yao’s parents, her in-laws.
She hurried to smile and answer. 

They did have an available carriage.
Since Yang Jing Zhi and Qing Lan were afraid of being bored on the way, they had proactively moved to ride the same carriage with Liang-momo.
That’s why their carriage was available.  

Lin Si Yao furrowed his brows, looking at his wife.
Seeing her flattering smile, his objection was swallowed back.
He just let her arrange as she pleased.
It was rare that she would stand up and make a decision on her own.
He just let her do what she wanted then. 

At first, Xue Li had worried that his son, who was said to be extremely cold and merciless, would break Su Shuilian’s neck because she supported him.
He didn’t expect things to go as smoothly as this.

“We bother you.” Feng Ruo Er smiled, thanking Su Shuilian.
As she remembered the other was her daughter-in-law and she had given birth to a pair of twins for the Xue family, her smile turned brighter. 

“Not a problem.
If you need something, just tell me.
Here’s your food and tea for lunch.
We have to go to Shui Yue City to find a place to rest.” Su Shuilian guided Xue Li and the other three to the empty carriage and handed them a bamboo basket. 

After they exited the imperial city’s territory, their next stop was Rong Cheng, which was several miles away from there.
There were only ranges of mountains and valleys between the two cities.
It was rare to see an inn there.
Thus, they had prepared tea and food to save themselves from being hungry.
And, they could always let the horse rest and graze grass anywhere near the water source by the mountain foot.

“My Lady, please let our guests take that carriage.” When Xue Li was about to support Feng Ruo Er in the carriage, Bai He rushed over, pointing at the renovated carriage they were taking. 

From Qing Lan, she knew that those people were the Emperor and Empress of the Blood Union.
From this situation, they knew that the others wanted to follow their Lady and Guye back to Fan Hua Town.
Thus, Liang-momo and the girls had discussed and decided to give the carriage they were riding to Xue Li’s group. 

Su Shuilian thought for a while and she agreed.
The man who led an entire country couldn’t just drink cool water or eat cold food.
However, if she wanted to give them the carriage her family was riding, of course, A Yao wouldn’t agree.
It was his limit to agree to let her give them this four-horse carriage provided by Prince Jing’s mansion. 

“Okay,” Su Shuilian nodded, then explained to Xue Li and his wife, “Bai He’s carriage has a brazier that you can use to make tea or heat up the dry food.” 

“You’ve trained your maids well.” Xue Li smiled at her while Feng Ruo Er complimented her honestly. 

“Ah, no, it’s their careful thought.” This was unrelated to her.
Su Shuilian smiled, shaking her head and rejecting the other’s compliment. 

Taking the four to the carriage, Su Shuilian wanted to go to Bai He’s carriage to chat for a while, but Lin Si Yao pulled her into their carriage. 

“Enough,” he frowned, looking grumpy. 

“Okay,” Su Shuilian smiled, nodding to him.
She had already made arrangements.
She raised her hand to rub his pinched eyebrows.
“You shouldn’t furrow your brows.
It’s not handsome.” 

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get mad?” He sighed begrudgingly, reaching his hand to cover her small hand. 

“I am,” Su Shuilian smiled, admitting.
“But I am also afraid that they would get mad.
It would scare the kids.” 

Since they were family, why would they have to get mad at each other and make others uncomfortable?
