Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 209 - 206: Manager Yuan Still Worried She Wasn’t Full, Gave Her More Provisions
With so many goods, the people at the post station will definitely notify Huo Zong.
Manager Yuan, seeing the situation, hurriedly nodded but refused to take the Silver Coin.
"Miss Ruan, since you have important matters at hand, these coins must be for personal use. I have no lack of them, and besides, you’ve helped me so much. How can I accept your Silver Tael?"
"But I see that you don’t even have a horse. Traveling anywhere will be inconvenient!"
After saying this, he immediately called the coachman and had a sturdy horse unloaded for Ruan Mian. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Ruan Mian tried to refuse but couldn’t, so she reluctantly accepted it.
Manager Yuan, still worried she hadn’t eaten enough, also gave her a lot of dry food.
"Take these for the road to eat, but... are you going alone? Where is a young woman going? I fear..."
Ruan Mian realized Manager Yuan might assign someone to her, and quickly said,
"I have companions, they’re not far ahead. I’m just making a trip to Xingjia State, which isn’t very far."
"Manager Yuan, since you refuse to take my Silver Tael, I’ll talk to you properly when I return next month when you deliver goods again. I also know of another profitable opportunity that will surely interest you."
Upon hearing this, Manager Yuan was quite embarrassed: "Given the chance, I’d naturally want it. But Miss Ruan, it’s best to be cautious on your way to Xingjia State this time."
"Recently, there have been many people there as the Eldest Prince of King Jin is marrying General Hu Lie’s daughter from Lanqiang. Many from Lanqiang have come, and the official has sent envoys to receive them. The place is crowded and chaotic, so be careful."
Ruan Mian slightly frowned, the son of King Jin marrying General Lan Qiang’s daughter? His biological father is King Yan.
Is this one of King Yan’s strategies? Trying another way to gain external support?
Ruan Mian tried hard to recall the plot from the original book and vaguely remembered that indeed there was a wedding plot point.
But she couldn’t remember much at the moment, as it was getting late, she withdrew her thoughts and didn’t waste time.
After giving thanks and farewell, her heart was filled with warmth.
This feeling was like her small boat, gently propelled by the arising waves behind her.
Huo Zong said, the adult came to Xingjia State to manage relationships for his teacher.
On arriving at Xingjia, Ruan Mian first found an inn to stay, planning to later inquire at the government office’s prison in Xingjia.
However, as soon as she settled in the inn and had a meal, an unexpected person appeared... Lisi.
At the moment, Lisi was saying something to the waiter, eyes reddened with urgency, on the verge of getting angry.
Ruan Mian hurriedly stepped in to help her out.
Lisi, seeing it was her, was pleasantly surprised and incredulous as she took her to her chamber, eagerly inquiring.
"Sister Mianmian? How are you here?"
If she recalled correctly, Sister Mianmian was an exile and couldn’t easily leave Wuheng.
Ruan Mian chuckled: "I should be asking you this."
Lisi truthfully replied: "I was ordered by my brother to accompany General Hu Lie’s daughter here for the marriage."
"My brother is on good terms with the General, knowing I can speak the Da Jing language and possess skills, and as that daughter is about my age, it’s convenient for me to accompany her, so I was sent along."
"Sister Mianmian, your Da Jing is indeed prosperous, warm weather with no sandstorms, rather comfortable."
Hearing this, Ruan Mian recalled again: "General Hu Lie’s daughter? How come I didn’t hear about her marrying into Da Jing before?"
Lisi honestly told her: "Weren’t we at peace now? It’s said that someone from Lanqiang advised it, and General Hu Lie also thought it would be a way to maintain peace."
"We from Lanqiang intended to maintain friendly relations, but the leader had no daughters, so they chose from among the great generals."
"General Hu Lie’s daughter Nabuhui was recognized not long ago. I heard she was lost in her childhood and taken to grow up in Da Jing. With such an experience there, it naturally makes her the best to come for a marriage."
So, that’s how it is, but the name Nabuhui... did not leave any impression on Ruan Mian.
As she racked her brains, the wedding plot became clearer in her mind. But it was precisely because of this that Ruan Mian recalled that in the original book, the woman who married the Eldest Prince seemed not to be named Nabuhui.
She thought for a moment, looking at Lisi, saying: "Lisi, since you’re accompanying Nabuhui, is she also staying in this inn?"
Lisi hastily shook her head: "Of course not, actually, I’m not staying at the inn either but at the Prince Mansion, they specially arranged a chamber for us."
"Today, I came out because Nabuhui allowed it, to buy some food for her. She likes these foods."
Following Lisi’s gaze, Ruan Mian saw some sweet cakes and many delicacies, which were quite expensive.
"Can’t she go out? Always staying at the Prince Mansion?"
"Of course not, today she went boating on the lake with the princely heir, I’ll deliver these to her after buying."
It was just right after all.
Ruan Mian whispered two things to Lisi.
Then she followed behind Lisi, heading to the boat ride.
However, by the time they arrived, Nabuhui and the others were already planning to return to the mansion.
She was gracefully helped into a luxurious carriage, her demeanor captivating, but that familiar face caught Ruan Mian’s eye, and her expression changed dramatically.
This was clearly Ruan Jiao’s face.
It’s her? That day, someone found a female corpse eaten by beasts in a forest in the valley, its face unrecognizable, and everyone thought it was the escaped Ruan Jiao.
Because the clothing on the corpse matched what Ruan Jiao usually wore.
At the time, Ruan Mian only felt the matter was dubious, but didn’t pay much attention to Ruan Jiao, her life or death unrelated to herself, naturally requiring no extra effort to investigate.
Now it seemed that her supposed death was indeed a deception.
Now, she transformed, becoming General Hu Lie’s daughter from Lanqiang and marrying into the Royal Family in an arranged marriage.
Previously, she was merely an inconspicuous concubine at the Chen Anbo Mansion.
I underestimated her capability.
Ruan Mian lowered her head to cover her face, hiding among the many servants.
After Lisi boarded the carriage, she seized the opportunity to leave the procession.
Now with Ruan Jiao transformed into a high-ranking heir’s wife, daring to sit in such a position, given her vengeful nature, it surely wouldn’t bode well for her own family.
If she’s not brought down, there would be endless troubles.
Moreover, in the original book, the person who should have married the heir seemed to be another woman. What happened behind the scenes for her to replace that woman?
What has she done to that woman, no one can say for sure.
...
Prince Jin Mansion.
Ruan Jiao reluctantly parted with the Eldest Prince, returning to her chamber with a love-struck look, sitting before the bronze mirror eating the snacks Lisi bought, happily rewarding her with some gifts.
