Rural Woman's True Colors 041. Sudden Passion
What Yang Tao didn't expect was that when she and Lu Dama Liu came to the village entrance with their embroidery, they actually saw two horse-drawn carriages, as well as Ling Hongfei's signature white clothes as snowy and his warm smile like sunshine on his face.
Wow! She just borrowed Qingcang for a use, to let Grandma and others feel at ease. How did this Qingcang become a big seller and handsome guy multiplied by two, and even pretended to be real? Could it be that she was fascinated by the plot she wrote, so she unconditionally subscribed to the next chapter?
It's just that this reason is too far-fetched, and it's hard for her to believe! In fact, when Qing so readily agreed to her unreasonable demands, she had a fleeting moment of doubt. Although she essentially thought they were good people, at least they looked like good people, but she also knew that bad people not only never say they are bad people, but also don't necessarily look like bad people.
She'd better be more careful, or else she'll really bring trouble upon herself.
"Hey, Hongfei brother." Yang Tao looked surprised but still pretended to be excited. "You also came! Actually one horse carriage is enough, why did you bring so many?"
Yangtao said, while lifting her small foot to take a look, but didn't see Qingcang's big sale, instead saw a horse, presumably Ling Hongfei had ridden here. And this time the carriage seemed not to be the same as last time, even the coachman appeared to have changed, it seems that this time, Ling Hongfei really came prepared.
The kite gang's carriage and driver were the originals, Yang Tao swept a glance at the driver, who was now expressionless waiting for them. He seemed very calm in the face of Ling Fengfei and another carriage that had suddenly appeared, and if one didn't know better, they would have thought he was also one of Ling Fengfei's underlings.
"Two elder sisters-in-law." Ling Hongfei bowed to Lu Danni and Liu Shu, appearing polite and refined, with less of his usual Jianghu demeanor. "My cousin is indisposed and cannot personally come to receive Taozi and the two elder sisters-in-law, so he has sent me to bring people here. I hope the two elder sisters-in-law will not take offense at his lack of courtesy. As we didn't know how many people would be going to town, we were afraid one carriage wouldn't be enough, so we brought an extra one just in case."
Ling Hongfei was indeed good at talking his way out of things, while the kite's driver remained nonchalant, leaving Yang Tao no choice but to admire the high quality of Kite's subordinates.
"This young master is too polite." Mrs. Lu hastily said. "However, we can just take one horse carriage."
"Yes, Brother Hongfei." Yang Tao pretended to take a look at the two horse-drawn carriages and pointed to the one from the Wind Kite Sect. "Let's take this one! Brother Hongfei must be very busy, he can take that carriage back first and doesn't need to accompany us."
Yang Tao chose this, not because she thought Fengzheng was more trustworthy, but because she had already offended Fengzheng, borrowed money from him and used his carriage, and almost even used Pei Yifan as collateral. Given that provoking so many people with unknown identities wasn't a fun thing to do, she decided it was better to just provoke one person.
Alas! If the kite hadn't been so extraordinary and flirtatious, she would have just let it play the patient in the first place, and wouldn't have come up with the idea of selling it to Qingcang.
"Peach said it right," Aunt Liu chimed in. "We've already been too much trouble for you with your car, if we bother you again that would be even more embarrassing, let's just take a walk ourselves, it's actually more comfortable."
Yang Tao nodded frequently, indicating agreement with Mrs. Liu's words.
"Two elder sisters, since I've come all the way here, let's go to town together. Once we're in town, you can take care of your own business, it's the same." Ling Hongfei didn't insist, and it seemed like he really was just trying to repay a favor, without any other motives.
"Alright." Yang Tao hastily replied. "When the time comes, we won't trouble Brother Hongfei much. After we've finished our business, we'll naturally let this rickshaw driver send us back."
Ling Hongfei glanced at Yang Tao, this girl was indeed clever. Looking at her attitude, it was clear that she wanted to cut off all ties with He and Qingcang. However, since she had caught their attention, it wouldn't be easy for her to hide now. She couldn't approach them openly, so she could only think of other ways.
"Alright then, let's get going!" Ling Hongfei still had a smiling face.
Yang Tao secretly rolled her eyes. In her heart, Ling Hongfei had become a "smiling tiger" and no amount of bright smiling could change that.
Along with Old Lady Liu, they got on the kite carriage. Yang Tao couldn't help but lift up the curtain to take a look outside. Ling Hongfei was riding his horse slowly in front of them. The carriage was also following theirs, one in front and one behind. If it weren't for this narrow mountain road, she really wanted to order the coachman to go ahead. However, since they were intentionally trying to get involved with her, if they didn't voluntarily back out, it would probably be difficult to shake them off.
Several people arrived in town at the same time, and Ling Hongfei immediately sent the carriage and driver away. He exchanged a few polite words with Lu Dainiang and Liu Shu, then bid farewell with a bow. This made Yang Tao feel that it was a wise decision to have Lu Dainiang and Liu Shu follow him to town. If he had brought Lu Dahei and Pei Yifan instead, it would be strange if Ling Hongfei could leave so quickly!
After all, adults are not easy to cheat like children.
"Taizi, you and Dahei saved that person, it's quite a heavy emotional debt." Liu Aunt couldn't help but sigh as she watched Ling Hongfei leave.
"It's okay!" Yang Tao's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately felt that Ling Hongfei was too clever. If he had continued to follow them, Lu Danni would have thought he was overly enthusiastic and suspicious. Now that he had left, he had instead left a good impression on them. So Yang Tao deliberately pouted her small mouth. "I just hope we didn't save a bad person."
"Taizi, don't say that, I think Ling Gongzi doesn't seem like a bad person," said Lu Danniang.
"Ah ah, you're quite enthusiastic." Yang Tao had no choice but to go along with Road Big Mother's words.
The villagers are simple and honest, which has nothing to do with age. But how would Lu Danni know that she and Lu Dahei have never saved anyone, and Ling Hongfei had a history of abandoning her in the wilderness, now suddenly becoming enthusiastic, making her believe he had no ulterior motives, unless she was an idiot.
However, thinking that she chose Ling Hongfei and Qingcang to help because they didn't look like bad people on the surface, wasn't it because she was afraid that Grandma and Da Niang would be worried? Now that her goal has been achieved, even if she had a lot of doubts in her heart, she couldn't let Lu Dama and Liu Shu see them, otherwise wouldn't she have been busy for nothing?!
"Big sister, aunt. Let's go and hand over the embroidery first!" Yang Tao shook off various doubts in her mind and said to Road Dama and Liu Aunt with a light tone. "That boss's wife is very nice, if this time we can get more embroidery work back, it would be great."
Anyway, with Road Big Niang and Liu Shu around, Ling Hongfei wouldn't dare to act rashly even if he had any ideas. If they really had some unmentionable purpose, who knows where they would be hiding now, discussing countermeasures with Qingcang Da? For the time being, she should still be safe.
