Pfft!
Lin Shuang quickly pinched her arm, otherwise, she couldn’t guarantee not bursting into laughter.
Han Ling reluctantly nodded in resignation. After Lin Shuang and several maids got into the carriage, he unwillingly sat on the driver’s seat and instructed the coachn to drive away.
Watching the carriage disappear in a cloud of dust, Lady Liu gently clutched her chest, wondering why she felt uneasy today, as if sothing was about to happen.
Hope Shuanger will be safe outside the city!
The carriage traveled along, passing through several main streets and out of the city gates.
It was early spring, and everything was full of vitality. Even though the distant fields weren’t yet fully green, breathing in such fresh air was incredibly refreshing.
Lin Shuang lifted the curtain, greedily taking a breath of the fresh morning air, her face full of enjoynt.
If only a certain soone’s chatter didn’t spoil the mood, she’d be even more at ease.
"Miss Lin, you don’t go out much, do you? Look, over there is the He Family Manor. Don’t be deceived by those red-brick and green-tile houses; it used to be a bleak little village ten years ago!"
Han Ling, proud of his knowledge, pointed to a small village by the roadside, bragging to Lin Shuang.
"It’s said that a vineyard suddenly sprang up there, producing a lot of red wine! So, the villagers got rich overnight!"
After speaking, Han Ling couldn’t help but click his tongue twice. It was unclear whether he envied the villagers of the He Family Manor or coveted the vineyard that had brought them prosperity.
While he spoke enthusiastically, Lin Shuang yawned in boredom.
"Not just the vineyard, but there are many dicinal herbs planted in the manor too!"
Han Ling was stunned. How could he have not heard that there were dicinal herbs in this manor?
However, one shouldn’t speak ill in front of a beauty; thinking this, praises flowed out naturally: "Miss Lin, you’re so knowledgeable..."
Lin Shuang shrugged: "I’m not knowledgeable; it’s just that the people planting those dicinal herbs happen to be !"
Pfft!
Han Ling nearly spat out blood.
A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he cautiously asked, "Then, that vineyard..."
"It’s my aunt’s!"
Pfft, pfft!
This ti, Han Ling was truly coughing up blood. He thought he was showing off his knowledge, but it turned out he was bragging about other people’s possessions!
This was truly bringing sha all the way to his grandmother’s house!
After that, Han Ling never spoke again.
This saved Lin Shuang a lot of trouble. She leaned against the carriage, squinting in a feigned sleep, finding the gentle sway of the carriage quite comfortable.
However, she was soon awakened by soone beside her.
The one who woke her was one of the two won sent by Zhao Hongyan.
Both were Hidden Guards without nas, so Lin Shuang temporarily nad them Xiao i and Xiao Li.
Xiao i glanced outside and whispered, "There’s sothing wrong with this carriage; this road isn’t leading to Cuibi Mountain."
Though Hidden Guards, both were quite familiar with the layout of the Capital City.
Xiao Li also nodded, lowering her voice: "In my opinion, we’re likely heading to that small manor to the east of the city."
Zhao Hongyan had already inford Lin Shuang and the two Hidden Guards about the findings from Xiao Luozi’s tracking.
The small manor to the east of the city was one of Ling Frost Pavilion’s counterfeit production hideouts.
Now, Lin Shuang had to admit that Han Ling indeed had ties to the counterfeit operation.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be taking her to that manor.
But since it was a counterfeit hideout, why was he bringing her there? Wasn’t he afraid she’d expose his secret?
Rolling her eyes, Lin Shuang asked loudly, "Young Master Han, are we nearing Cuibi Mountain? I’m feeling a bit tired."
Sitting on the driver’s seat, Han Ling was fantasizing about the wonderful ti he’d spend with Lin Shuang. Hearing her question, he felt more at ease.
Talking about having her dicinal herbs at He Family Manor, it seed she’d only been to He Family Manor at most!
Cuibi Mountain was in the west of the city, yet they were now heading east, and she hadn’t noticed it at all.
"Miss Lin is tired? We’re almost there, at most, another fifteen minutes!"
Another fifteen minutes? Even another two hours wouldn’t be enough!
Lin Shuang snorted coldly, her tone remaining calm: "But why haven’t I seen Cuibi Mountain? I heard it’s quite tall!"
