Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 345: Everything Is Ready, Just Waiting for the East Wind

Chapter 345: Chapter 345: Everything Is Ready, Just Waiting for the East Wind

!

"Hyah, hyah..."

The carriage moved slowly, driven by Wang Xiaoliu.

Initially, Long Yue didn’t plan to bring Wang Xiaoliu along, but he insisted on following, saying that his life was given by Long Yue, so no matter what, he would remain loyal to them. Wherever his master went, he would follow.

In his own words: There are still several siblings at home who are all filial, so I have no worries following you. Just let me come along!

Such loyalty made Long Yue reluctant to disappoint him, so she agreed.

Also accompanying them was Huanhuan.

Some matters concerning women still required a close maid to attend to. Rather than finding one on the road, it was better to bring someone familiar.

Moreover, with Huanhuan’s sturdy build... going out like this, those with ill intentions would probably retreat at the sight!

"This journey will take quite some time; let’s consider it a chance to relax. Honestly, staying in the bustling Capital City day after day feels rather empty."

Long Yue let Li Qingmu lean against her thigh. The softness could reduce the carriage’s jolts, and she gently massaged his temples, easing the pressure and lifting his spirits.

Li Qingmu closed his eyes, a gentle smile on his lips. The jostling carriage was like a cradle, lulling him into a haven of tenderness.

"Tsk tsk, people leave and the tea cools, the tree falls and the monkeys scatter!"

A scornful and arrogant voice rang out from one side, coming from outside the window. Long Yue hurriedly lifted the curtain and saw a young man, head slightly raised, riding alongside them on a gleaming black horse.

"Young Prince, why are you here?"

Long Yue was surprised. Had Qi Jingyu actually followed them?

When they left, they hadn’t seen him, assuming he was upset over Li Qingmu’s confession. That matter dealt a big blow to them. The Emperor knew they had privately hoarded armor and weapons. Even though Li Qingmu took all the blame himself, it wouldn’t improve Prince Lingjiang’s impression.

Not showing up to see them off was understandable, yet Long Yue never expected him to come personally.

And, seeing him with a bundle on his back, was he coming on a journey too?

"The wind is chilly by the Yi River, the hero leaves, never to return. I came to see you off, to fulfill my duty as a friend!"

Li Qingmu slowly rose from his little wife’s soft lap, glanced outside the window, and said with a smile, "We’ve received the Young Prince’s gesture, thank you!"

Um?

Qi Jingyu was internally a bit depressed, but outwardly maintained his customary arrogance, lifting his head with a snort, riding alongside them.

Long Yue was curious, "Young Prince, why are you still here?"

Li Qingmu chuckled beside her, "Perhaps he intends to accompany us farther? I’ll accept this sentiment from the Young Prince, myself."

Their joking words had an acerbic tone. Qi Jingyu felt uncomfortable hearing them, muttering, "I’m going home!"

Going home? Going to the Lingjiang Imperial Mansion?

Long Yue and Li Qingmu both paused briefly, then saw the Young Prince snort, "Grandpa probably doesn’t want to see me right now. Rather than staying bored in Shengjing City, I might as well go home, at least I can take care of Father!"

Such a filial young man!

Li Qingmu and Long Yue didn’t tease him further, exchanging glances.

"No need to worry, Young Prince, we’ll be back! Consider this departure a pleasure trip."

Qi Jingyu pouted, "That’s the only way to think of it!"

Qi Jingyu followed them out of Shengjing City, heading towards Jiangling County. At the city gate, a middle-aged man stood high atop the city wall, watching their group gradually recede, sneering repeatedly.

"I only intended to deal with this disobedient daughter, but now the couple goes together, well, well, consider it a father-daughter bond, letting you be a pair of short-lived mandarin ducks. It isn’t too heartless of me, as a father, ha ha ha!"

Pang Wenzheng’s eyes were full of madness, already envisioning what awaited this couple upon reaching Luanshi Ridge!

"Just to be safe, send a few skilled martial artists to lay in ambush near Luanshi Ridge, ready to strike fatally at any moment!"

A man in black appeared beside Pang Wenzheng. Upon hearing this, he immediately bowed and accepted the order, "I shall see to it at once!"

"Yes, if the task is not completed, don’t bother returning!"

"Understood!"

As the man in black left, a graceful woman gradually approached Pang Wenzheng from behind; it was none other than Lady Xue, Xue Mingzhu!

"Tsk tsk tsk, to be so ruthless to one’s own daughter, such ability, I truly cannot comprehend it. I even wonder, might there come a day when I too am discarded like an obsolete bow?"

Xue Mingzhu slowly came up behind Pang Wenzheng, her eyes flirtatious.

Pang Wenzheng’s expression was stern, "She’s just a wretched child, not my own flesh and blood. Her life or death is inconsequential. As for you, you’re my trusted aide, why would you be discarded? You’re overthinking!"

"Oh, hearing that puts my mind at ease! By the way, have you considered what happens if the plan fails?"

Xue Mingzhu lightly leaned against Pang Wenzheng, absorbing his strong masculine aura. Her eyes charmingly flickered, blushing for a brief moment.

Pang Wenzheng sneered, "It doesn’t matter, the aim of this is primarily to divert them because something more important needs to be done. Even if that side fails, everything here is already set in stone. At that time, life and death will be decided by our word alone!"

"Oh, are the people ready?"

"Yes, everything is in place, all that’s missing is the east wind! Once the Empress acts, our plan will go smoothly. Without those two troublemakers, who can stop the momentum of our grand plans? Ha ha ha..."
