“Alright, let’s set off quickly after you’re done packing.”

Lu Sheng brought five cans of crab roe sauce and five cans of ketchup. The cans were not big, but they looked exquisite.

She had been using these when she was in the mountain. She did not know where her master brought them back from.

She had quite a lot of those bottles. She often used them to store pickled vegetables on the mountain.

Her master would look at her hesitantly, as if he wanted to remind her about something. However, he would always sigh helplessly and then leave.

She brought half a box of potatoes and a basket of tomatoes before leaving in her carriage.

After letting the two children board the carriage, she locked all the doors before leaving in her carriage.

She bought ten pounds of pork belly and ten pounds of pork ribs at the entrance of the village, intending to bring them to Grandma so that she could nourish her body.

An Mu Village was not far from Liu Yue Village. It would only take an hour to travel there by horse carriage, which was similar to the journey to town.

Lu Sheng followed the owner’s impression and steered the carriage forward.

There were either forests, lakes, or drains on both sides of the road.

It was no wonder that Lin Jiang Mansion had not experienced any drought in the past hundred years. With so much water and frequent rain, it was indeed impossible for a drought to occur.

The only problem was that the road was not good. It was bumpy and muddy everywhere.

She was still afraid that the two children would get carsick, but they were laughing happily inside.

Lu Sheng could only smile helplessly.

After a long journey, they finally reached An Mu Village.

“Second Sister, have we arrived?”

Lu Jiang lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to ask.

“It’s right in front. Sit tight.”

“Okay!”

Lu Jiang lowered the curtain obediently and returned to the carriage.

Lu Sheng watched from afar and saw a few people gathered at her grandma’s house.

She frowned and had an ominous feeling.

When the carriage drove in, she heard an old person crying. It was a familiar voice. From her impression, it was her grandma.

Her expression turned cold and she hurried over on her carriage.

A few young men pushed a man with a bruised face out and said angrily, “Zhang Hui, you’re too shameless. How can you, as a fellow village member, not know what’s going on with Ah Qin’s family?”

“That’s right. Does the Zhang family still have some dignity? If not for Brother Qin’s poor family background, what kind of girl would he not be able to find?”

Lu Sheng glanced at him and recognized that he was her uncle, He Lai.

“I don’t care.”

The man with a bruised face waved his hand and said arrogantly, “Either he takes out ten taels of silver today or he doesn’t need to think of breaking off the engagement.”

“Yes!”

A woman standing at the side placed her hands on her waist and said, “Breaking the engagement will damage our aunt’s reputation. He has to compensate. Otherwise, he’ll have to fork out twenty taels as the betrothal gift.”

Lu Sheng listened from the side and roughly understood the situation.

“Hey, Lu Sheng, why are you here?”

He Lai looked up and saw Lu Sheng.

Only then did everyone realize that a carriage had silently stopped beside them.

Lu Sheng alighted from the carriage and asked He Lai to take care of the two children and their items. Then, she entered the courtyard expressionlessly.

In the courtyard, He Qin, who was also badly battered, was consoling the wailing Mdm Zhao.

Lu Sheng suppressed the fury in her heart and ignored the doubtful gazes of everyone. She went up to greet her uncle and grandma.

“Lu Sheng, why are you here?”

He Qin looked at her in surprise.

“I came to visit Grandma and you!”

When she heard that it was her, Mdm Zhao stopped crying and looked up at her with watery eyes. “Is my Ah Sheng here?”
