Chapter 198 I threw you away
Manager Cui tried to step forward to help block it, but it was too late. He could only watch as the jade pendant grazed the man's face and then embedded itself deeply into the carriage wall with a 'thud'.
The man seemed stunned, his face pale. It took him a long time to react. He first wiped the blood from his face, then raised his trembling hand, pointed at Lin Shu, and said incredulously:
"Ah! My face... You... You dare to hurt my face... I'll kill you..."
Lin Shu completely ignored the other person's roar and stared at him with icy eyes.
Seeing that the man was staring at Lin Shu, A Zhu behind her felt a little displeased. She went around to Lin Shu's front to block the man's view from the carriage and gave him a fierce look.
Then, he turned to look at Lin Shu and for the first time bared his teeth at her, as if forbidding her from looking at him again.
Looking at the innocent and naive look in Azhu's eyes, Lin Shu's coldness inadvertently dissipated slightly. Then she raised her hand and touched Azhu's head, and Azhu's expression immediately turned into a silly smile again!
The man in the carriage was even more indignant when he saw that Lin Shu and her companion didn't take him seriously. He said to Steward Cui, "Grab them! I'm going to slash their faces to pieces!"
Upon hearing this, Steward Cui did not immediately step forward. Instead, he looked at the group of people in white. After all, they had come out to transport the military equipment behind them. If their manpower was diverted, something might go wrong!
But when she looked toward the woman in white, she found that all the people in white were looking at A-Zhu with an inscrutable expression on their faces.
Finally, after exchanging a glance, they actually took a few steps back with some apprehension...
Upon seeing this, Butler Cui was startled. Could these three people be someone important? He then turned to the man who was still covering his face and shouting, and secretly shook his head.
Seeing this, the man clenched his fist, lowered his head to hide the hatred in his eyes, and then, to avoid further trouble, lowered the carriage curtain, leaving the matter entirely to Butler Cui...
Steward Cui breathed a sigh of relief before saying to Lin Shu, "The three of you, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you wish to leave, the people of the Cui family will not stop you."
As she spoke, Steward Cui glanced at the group of women in white, implying that while the Cui family would not interfere, she could not guarantee whether others would.
Lin Shu followed Butler Cui's gaze and saw that the white-clad women's eyes were all fixed on A-Zhu, who was standing in front of them.
So, Lin Shu frowned, pulled Azhu behind her, and looked across at the other side.
Although the women in white opposite them looked displeased, they didn't say anything and instead made way for them.
Such behavior was unexpected not only by Lin Shu and the other two, but even Steward Cui was secretly astonished: When did the people of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion become so easy to talk to?
Lin Shu didn't have time to care what they were thinking. She told Ji Wan and A Zhu to get into the carriage quickly, then climbed onto the carriage shaft and drove away from this troublesome place.
Unbeknownst to the three, inside the Cui family's carriage, a venomous gaze was piercing through the curtain and directed at the speeding carriage.
On the carriage.
Ji Wan was never one to keep her mouth shut, and seeing that they were slowly moving away from the place of trouble, she asked Lin Shu, who was driving outside, in a puzzled voice:
"Lin Shu, what's going on here? I was planning to make a big splash! Why are you suddenly letting us go?"
Lin Shu remained silent upon hearing this, unconsciously recalling the way those people looked at A-Zhu, and she had a feeling that A-Zhu's identity must be more than just ordinary...
Five days later.
South of the imperial city, inside an inn.
Lin Shu and her two companions hurried along and finally entered the imperial city before nightfall.
They randomly found a nearby inn, booked three superior rooms, and asked the waiter to bring the food to their rooms.
After meal.
Ji Wan, her large pregnant belly protruding, leaned back in her chair, picking her teeth with an air of enjoyment: "Haha! So comfortable! The food in the capital is definitely the best!"
As if she had thought of something, she suddenly looked at Azhu, leaned close to Lin Shu, and asked in a low voice, "Lin Shu, we're already in the capital, are you still planning to bring this little fool along?"
A-Zhu's ears twitched, and she glared at Ji Wan with hostility.
Lin Shu glanced at Ji Wan but didn't say anything. Instead, she gently placed her hand on A Zhu's head and rubbed it softly in response.
Ji Wan watched their actions, her lips twitching. Taking advantage of A Zhu's dazed state, she asked another question:
"No way! Girl! Are you serious? Don't forget, we're leaving Nanli soon!"
Ji Wan looked Lin Shu and A Zhu up and down, her tone filled with surprise, and she forgot to try to hide it, her voice unconsciously getting louder.
A-Zhu immediately stepped forward, tilting her head, and asked in confusion, "Sister, why are you leaving? Where are you going?"
Before Lin Shu could answer, Ji Wan, who was sitting on the other side of Lin Shu, snorted coldly: "Hmph!"
"What else could it be?" Ji Wan glanced at A Zhu, then pretended to be disgusted and continued:
"Of course it's because we think you're a burden, you little fool. You're not only dirty and fierce, but you also eat, sleep, and love to spend money... so we're planning to throw you away and leave on our own..."
After saying that, Ji Wan stuck her butt out, ready to run away if the little fool pounced on her like before.
But to everyone's surprise, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement from the other party. When they looked up, they found that the little fool was crying with tears streaming down his face...
"Uh... why are you crying? I was just joking! We're not leaving, we're not leaving, okay?" Ji Wan didn't expect this little fool to be so easily teased, and was a little at a loss.
It was meant as a joke, but the naive Azhu took it seriously. He didn't care about leaving or not leaving at all; he was just heartbroken because Lin Shu was going to abandon him.
So, he pouted, looked at Lin Shu with teary eyes, and in the blink of an eye, large tears rolled down his fair face, 'plop' hitting the table and splashing up a small circle of water...
A-Zhu raised her still slightly oily hand, casually wiped away her tears, and reached out to tug at Lin Shu's sleeve, pouting and saying in a wronged tone:
"Sister! Don't throw Azhu away! Azhu is very well-behaved, Azhu isn't dirty..."
Finally, looking at his small, dirty hands that had just been used to wipe away tears, he withdrew them and tucked them under his shirt, as if that would make them cleaner...
However, the tears flowed even more fiercely!
