At this moment, the door was pushed open. The eldest aunt’s son, Ah Sheng, had returned. Ah Sheng was a young lad. When he saw Xuan Yingluo who had already awoken, his face quickly turned red.
“Ah Sheng, you’re back. Quickly come over. This lady has awoken and is going to the capital to deliver a letter to her family. I’ll leave this matter to you,”the eldest aunt said.
Ah Sheng came before Xuan Yingluo and accepted the jade pendant. “Alright, I’ll do it right away. By the way, May I know your name?”
Xuan Yingluo said, “My surname is Xuan, Xuan Yingluo.”
Ah Sheng felt that this name was very beautiful, just like Xuan Yingluo. Her weak complexion and thin body could not cover her original peerless beauty and her alluring, clear eyes. Unfortunately.., there was a scratch on her face, and it was ruined.
“Miss Yingluo, it’s lunchtime now. I’ve prepared lunch. Let’s eat together first, and then let Ah Sheng deliver the letter for you.”
“Okay.”
The three of them sat together and ate. Ah Sheng’s father had passed away a long time ago, so it was aunt who had painstakingly raised Ah Sheng. Aunt and Ah Sheng were both kind and honest people.
“Miss Yingluo, come and eat a drumstick.”The aunt placed the only drumstick into Xuan Yingluo’s bowl.
Xuan Yingluo quickly placed the drumstick into Ah Sheng’s bowl. “I don’t need to eat it. give the drumstick to Ah Sheng.”
Ah Sheng looked at the drumstick in the bowl and his face turned even redder. He felt that the disfigured Xuan Yingluo was just like a fairy, tempting him.
Xuan Yingluo had something on her mind. It was Zhou Yu. She and Zhou Yu disappeared together in the explosion. She was lucky enough to survive, but what about him?
The news was kept secret here. Xuan Yingluo asked the aunt and Ah Sheng. Both of them did not know the situation outside. After all, small figures did not care about such things.
After the meal, Ah Sheng took the jade pendant and left the house.
Xuan Yingluo washed the dishes with the aunt. Although she was still very weak, she was very grateful to the aunt for taking care of her for such a long time.
Xuan Yingluo asked, “Aunt, did any strangers come here recently, or did something big happen?”
“I’m not too sure about that. But I heard that a few days ago, the leader of the previous tribe was killed by his son-in-law. That son-in-law became the new leader of the southern region. And these days, this leader of the southern region has been constantly conquering the north and south. I heard that he is very brave and good at fighting. He has conquered several tribes in a row and has become famous. Now, everyone still feels afraid when talking about this person.”
Xuan Yingluo’s heart skipped a beat. She was almost certain in an instant that the new minister of the South was Zhou Yu!
She didn’t expect that they would reveal themselves to the south at the same time, and that they would be so close to each other.
Xuan Yingluo could quickly predict the situation in the capital. Zhou Yu had lost that battle and couldn’t go back. Her parents must be doing their best to search for her.
This place was too far away from the capital. It would be difficult to send the message.
Ah Sheng..
Xuan Yingluo suddenly remembered that Ah Sheng was wearing her jade pendant to deliver the message. could he really deliver it?
Xuan Yingluo had a very bad premonition.
At this moment, the sound of horses’hooves could be heard from outside. Someone kicked open the door of the house, and a cold wind blew from outside.
Ah Sheng was already tied up.
The aunt was shocked and quickly rushed forward. “Ah Sheng, Ah Sheng, why did you capture my son? Is there any law in broad daylight?”
