The Fierce Farm Girl Has A Secret Space

Chapter 2783: Chapter 2783: Aunt (6)

”Alright, you go rest first.” Yang Ruxin waved her hand, but her heart felt incredibly heavy. Before she came to Beijing, Yong Cang had just taken a batch of Divine Sauce from her, along with a consignment of medicinal wine, both personally sent off by Old Bai onto the ship bound for Wa Country. Even if everything went smoothly, the sea voyage alone would take two months, and the round trip would take at least two and a half months. If they encountered storms or currents, it would take even longer. But now, Yong Cang was in Haijin City, which meant only one thing—Yong Cang was lying to her.

A lie might be well-intentioned at times, but from a Wa Country native, Yang Ruxin found it hard to believe it was well-meaning. Suddenly feeling her hair stand on end, she quickly wrote a letter and summoned Xiaohei: ”Quick, take this back to Shangguan Fei immediately.”

Noticing Yang Ruxin’s urgency, Xiaohei swiftly soared into the clouds; day or night, they made no difference to him.

At that time, Cui Meng, along with her nanny, had just disembarked from a canal boat and taken a half-day carriage ride before stopping. Reasonably, she should be heading to Hanzhong, but she wasn’t. Instead, she headed to the seaside.

It was evening, and Cui Meng looked at the endless sea and the sunset on the horizon, her eyes wavering slightly.

”Your Highness,” the nanny walked over, ”though it’s summer, the evening breeze is cool, don’t catch a chill.”

Cui Meng shook her head: ”Nanny, how long has it been since we’ve seen the ocean?”

”Many years,” the nanny smiled.

”I still think the sea is wonderful,” Cui Meng smiled, ”the salty sea breeze is really nostalgic.” Saying this, she closed her eyes and lifted her head, enjoying the wanton sea breeze.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind, stopping behind her: ”Aunt.” If Yang Ruxin were here, she would recognize the man as none other than Yong Cang.

Cui Meng quickly opened her eyes, turned to look at the man before her, and suddenly raised her hand to slap him: ”If it weren’t for you, we would’ve killed Yang Ruxin earlier, and our plan wouldn’t have failed.”

Yong Cang’s face reddened immediately, showing a clear handprint, but he wasn’t angry: ”Aunt, your reprimand is justified.”

”Now I can no longer remain in the palace. Fortunately, Haohao still has Hanzhong as a base, where there are plenty of troops,” Cui Meng sighed. ”After you go back, you should also gather forces to assist Haohao.”

”Alright,” Yong Cang agreed without refusal.

”Yang Ruxin must die,” Cui Meng’s face suddenly contorted with fury.

”I’ll handle this.”

”No, I want you to do it yourself,” Cui Meng squinted slightly. ”Now, aren’t you her business partner? She won’t guard against you, so you’re the best one for the job.”

Yong Cang furrowed his brow.

”What? Reluctant?” Cui Meng sneered, ”Romantic entanglement is the last thing one needs. Now, the Emperor has become a puppet, and the Tokugawa Family members are addicted to Divine Sauce, long reduced to useless people. Tokugawa Ken is the only one left and he won’t last long. Next, you will be the master of Wa Country, and there are plenty of women to choose from, aren’t there?”

”It’s not that I’m reluctant,” Yong Cang shook his head, ”I just don’t know how to go about it. That woman is tougher than expected.”

”That’s your problem,” Cui Meng said, turning to walk toward the carriage, ”The sooner the better with this matter.”
