?

  The King of Lanling was holding a two or three year old child, he could have run away, but he couldn't. Zhang Qi was still behind him, he ran faster, she couldn't keep up.

  This child in her arms, if she dies, then so be it, Zhang Qi can't lose another one.

  Zhang Wei dragged on for too long and couldn't move anymore. Zhang Qi was also exhausted and couldn't move either.

  Just as Zhang Yi was about to ask King Lanling to leave, the king walked up to a horse carriage and grasped the reins, saying in a deep voice, "Sir, may I borrow your carriage for a moment? I will return it within two hours!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, a small fat man suddenly lifted the car curtain and shouted at Langling Wang, who was covering his head with a silk hat: "Bastard, what are you talking about? Is your family's carriage something you can summon at will?" In an instant, he caught sight of Zhang Qi, who had rushed over in haste, her figure so beautiful that it made one's mouth dry. His eyes lit up and he pointed at her, shouting: "Give this woman to your father for a day, and your father will lend you his horse..."

  Before the word "car" was spoken, suddenly, in the midst of snowflakes filling the sky, a cold light flashed by, and a chilly sword tip pointed at Xiaopang's throat!

  This sudden change was as swift as lightning. The little fatty's face turned pale, and Langling Wang had already taken two steps forward. He swiftly sheathed his sword, then with a quick flick of his right hand, he picked up the fatty and tossed him into the street.

  Then he ordered Zhang Qi and the two women: "Get on the carriage."

  "Yes." Zhang Qi hastily pulled Zhang Wei onto the horse carriage.

  The King of Lanling turned his head and saw the charioteer crawling down, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. The King of Lanling frowned, took two steps forward, jumped onto the chariot seat, shouted loudly, and drove the horse carriage to move forward.

  This series of actions was very quick, the little fat man rolled twice on the ground and got up. The Lanling King threw it, looking fierce but just right. Throwing him into the ditch where the snow was thick, not even his fur was hurt.

  Staring blankly at the family carriage driving away, Xiao Pang involuntarily touched his throat, remembering that sword. The chilling and terrifying aura made him sit down again.

  He scrambled up and shouted: "Quickly, help me back, quickly!"

  He supported him for a few steps and asked in a trembling voice: "Lang Jun, what about the horse carriage?"

  "Don't mention the horse carriage, don't mention anything." He came from a merchant family and still had some discerning eyes. The majestic and dignified aura of that man with the veil covering his face was something he had rarely seen in his life. People like him were not to be trifled with. Thinking of this, Little Fatty trembled again and said: "Let's hurry up and leave!"

  As the carriage sped along, Zhang Wei slowly turned her head and looked at Zhang Qi. She called out in a hoarse voice: "You are... Ah Qi?" That illegitimate daughter whose status was even lower than hers?

  Zhang Qi bowed her head, took off the veil on her head, and nodded with red eyes: "A Wei. I am A Gui."

  As if stunned by her radiance, Zhang Wei didn't come to until after a while. She murmured: "Are you A Qie? I actually met A Qie?"

  She suddenly thought of something and became sad. She covered her face with both hands and burst into tears.

  In Zhang Wei's sobbing, the carriage soon arrived at their lodging inn. After calling a few guards to ask for a doctor, Prince Lanling handed the girl over to Zhang Gan and said to Xiao Er: "Arrange something for this lady."

  "Yes."

  The King of Lanling turned to the other two guards, "They are frostbite patients. You're good at this, go and help deal with it."

  "Yes."

  The doctor was invited over immediately, and upon examination, it turned out to be two. The little girl's condition wasn't severe, she was just cold and hungry, and on top of that, her innate physical weakness couldn't withstand it, which led to this situation.

  At this time, the guards with rich anti-cold experience had already rescued the little girl from her frozen state. The doctor said that as long as she took medicine for a while longer, her life should be out of danger.

  Zhang Qi rested for a while and calculated the time. Zhang Wei should have fallen asleep by now. Zhang Qi told Lanling Wang and then came to her room.

  In the room, Zhang Wei was staring blankly at his daughter on the bed in a daze. Hearing footsteps, he quickly turned his head.

  At this time, Zhang Wei had already cleaned up and looked refreshed. After eating and sleeping, he seemed to be in high spirits. However, the long scar on his face made his otherwise handsome face look shocking.

  Jian was Zhang Qi, and Zhang Wei quickly got up from the bed, bowed to her and said with a choked voice: "Sister Qi's kindness of rebirth, I'm afraid it can't be repaid in this lifetime."

  Zhang Qi shook her head, she walked to the bed, gazing at the little girl sleeping in the quilt, her small face was pale and purple all over, having a sweet dream, unknowingly, her eyes turned red again.

  She quietly turned her head, opened her eyes and let the wind dry them, then Zhang Qi turned back again.

  She met Zhang Wei's dazed gaze.

  Her eyes held a mix of envy, gratitude, and a hint of emptiness, as if she was deeply lost in thought.

  After a while, Zhang Wei asked in a low voice: "Ah Gui, is that your husband?" When she said the two words "husband", she smiled softly and wiped her eyes with her sleeve. Zhang Wei murmured to herself: "It turns out that there are also husbands in this world who care about their wives like this."

  At this point, Zhang Wei didn't know what he was thinking of, and reached out to touch his wound.

  Seeing her expression was despondent with despair, Zhang Qi moved his lips, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

  "After a while, Zhang Qi said: 'Sister, don't be sad, it's all over.'"

  "It's all in the past." Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Qi with gratitude, she hadn't expected that in this life, she would still meet her cousin. And it seemed, this cousin was living a good life.

  In this era where clans are required to watch out for each other, Zhang Wei meeting a willing clan member who is willing to help her means she has found home. As for what happens next, Zhang Gui will take care of it, so she doesn't need to worry.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Wei looked at her daughter sleeping soundly on the bed again, and a kind of indescribable warmth and relaxation surged up from her heart.

  At this time, she heard Zhang Qi ask in a low voice: "Ji sister, was it the wife or concubine of that old man who bullied you?"

  She nodded, and as soon as she mentioned the past, her tears couldn't be held back. She covered her face with her sleeve and choked out: "He was very lustful, and there were fifty or sixty wives and concubines in the mansion. As soon as I arrived at the Zhou's place, he abandoned me and didn't care about me anymore. When Ah Xiang was born, he didn't even come to take a look, let alone put Ah Xiang on the family tree. Sister saw that we had no means of livelihood, so she thought of using her embroidery skills to exchange for some silver money. Who knew that the embroidery was seen by the fifth madam in the mansion? She grabbed Ah Xiang and beat him until he was covered in injuries, just to force sister to teach her the embroidery skills. Sister had no choice but to teach her. But who would have thought that as soon as she learned it, she cut off sister's face and drove both sister and Ah Xiang out of the house? She said that only if sister ruined her looks and became a beggar for life would she never have the chance to take revenge on her!

  Upon hearing this, Zhang Qi coldly smiled and said: "What's that man's surname? What's the name of that fifth madam?"

  Zhang Wei was taken aback, she could hear it, Zhang Qi wanted to avenge her.

  She slowly raised her head, staring blankly at Zhang Qi for a long time. Suddenly, Zhang Wei covered her mouth and rushed to Zhang Qi's face, hugging her waist and bursting into tears: "Sister, why did you come so late... why did you come so late!"

  Just then, the door opened and Lanling King's low voice came in, "What happened?"

  His voice was steady and calm. But he had just cried here, and then he came over!

  Zhang Wei hastily wiped away her tears, stood up in a hurry and bowed to Langling Wang. She thought: My younger sister is really lucky, she met the person who loves her the most. In an instant, she thought again: Ahui is so beautiful, with her beauty, even being an imperial concubine would be suitable for her. Such a beauty, I'm afraid any man who gets her will also love her dearly.

  After finishing the ceremony, Zhang Wei quickly raised her head. She stared at the familiar and handsome side profile of Lang Ling Wang in disbelief, softly calling out: "You... you are Lang Ling Wang!"

  She turned her head and stared at Zhang Qi in shock, exclaiming: "Ah Qi, your husband is the Prince of Lanling?"

  In the past, when King Langling first arrived in Jiankang, how many young women gathered there to watch him? Each of them dreamed that one day they could enter the eyes of this extraordinary handsome man and become his beloved.

  They never thought that Ah Qi, who had the lowest status, would achieve it. She has become the person at the heart of this extraordinary beauty!

  Facing Zhang Wei's inquiry, Zhang Qi didn't know how to respond and remained silent. She only counter-questioned: "A Wei, what is your husband's surname, and what about the fifth madam?"

  Zhang Wei thought, she was going to tell this to Langling Wang herself. She bowed to the two of them again and quietly wiped away her tears before saying in a low voice: "His surname is Yu, his name is Yu Neng, he's the Minister of Personnel of Zhou Guo, a third-rank official, and the fifth madam is from the Qian family."

  Zhang Gui nodded and asked a few more questions, seeing the little girl on the bed weakly calling out "mother", then instructed a few sentences before leaving the room with Lanling Wang.

  Walking on the snowy ground, the snowflakes crunched crisply. After a moment of silence, Zhang Gui turned around and bowed to Lang Ling Wang, saying in a low voice: "Chang Gong, can you lend me a few people for use? Is that okay?"

  "Do you want to help your cousin get revenge?"

  Zhang Qi lowered her eyes and said, "Yes."

  "How much?"

  "Twenty people."

  "Okay."

  "I choose the people."

  "Okay."

  As soon as she heard her own voice drop, Zhang Gui bowed slightly and quickly turned around, but Lang Ling Wang suddenly called out: "A Gui."

  Zhang Qi stopped in her tracks.

  Looking at her figure, the King of Lanling thought about what he had thrown to her, but she had kept it intact in that package. He clasped his hands behind his back and said slowly: "I got your chaste body, and made you lose your child, even if I gave you ten thousand gold pieces, it would not be too much. You can use that money as you wish."

  From that dowry, taking just two items would be enough for her cousin to live a life of comfort and security... He knew she couldn't refuse.

  Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, and after a while, she lowered her head and silently nodded at him.

  Seeing her about to leave, Lang Ling Wang said slowly: "That kind of filthy person will easily dirty your hands, let me handle it."

  He had already promised her once, promising again wouldn't be a big deal. After a moment of silence, Zhang Qi bowed to him again.
