When Zhou Gang saw this, he quickly said: “Miss Bai, Prince Jin asked me to go back with you. In fact, that is to let me protect you on the road.”

Of course, Bai Zhi knew his purpose, but she was not in a good mood now. She doesn’t know what to say in front of Hu Feng.

Zhou Gang didn’t use the whip, he looked at Hu Feng embarrassingly: “Your Highness, would you like to talk first?”

Hu Feng shook his head, “No, I’ll see her soon. I will explain it to her at that time. Go ahead, be careful on the road.” He was really uneasy to let her go back alone. Although their village was not that far, she was, after all, an unarmed little girl. If Zhou Gang was with her, he will be at ease.

When the carriage started to move, the dust also started flying in the wind. He stared at the carriage until the little girl’s figure completely disappeared into the distance.

In Huangtou Village.

“Aunt Lan, take a sip. If Zhi’er comes back and sees you thin like this, she will be very sad.” Zhao Sue, who was carrying a bowl of porridge tried to persuade  Zhao Lan in worry.

Zhao Lan shook her head: “I have no appetite, I can’t eat.” After a pause, she said: “If Zhi’er really cares about me, how could she run to the military camp alone? Does she know what that place is? She’s trying to kill me!”

While Bai Zhi had been away for a few days, she had been sick for a few days. She lost a lot of weight. If Zhou Awu didn’t stop her, she might have already rushed to the military camp to bring back Bai Zhi.

Zhao Sue sighed and said: “Aunt Lan, what Zhi’er did is wrong, but she must have her reason. She is smart and clever, she will definitely come back safely.”

Zhao Lan comforted herself by also thinking like this, but no matter how much she comforted herself, she couldn’t get rid of fear. That was the military camp, where war happened, she didn’t know how many people die there every day. How could she dare to go?

The next moment, Zhou Awu came in and said to Zhao Lan: “Aunt Lan, Old Lady Bai, and Mrs. Liu are here.”

Zhao Sue immediately frowned: “Why are they here again? What do they want to gain from coming here every day?”

Zhao Lan smiled bitterly: “What else can it be? They hope for me to die. Zhi’er is not here now. If I die, do you think they will let go of this house and our fields?”

Zhou Awu said: “Bah, shameless things. I will send them away.”

Zhou Awu just turned around, but before he could even go out, Old Lady Bai and Mrs. Liu already rushed inside.

It was their first time coming to this room. When they went before, they only let them stay downstairs, but Zhao Lan didn’t go down. Zhou Awu didn’t let them go up to see her. They came here so many times, but they didn’t see even Zhao Lan’s shadow.

Today, they made up their minds to see Zhao Lan in person. They wanted to know how sick she was and how long could she live.

After the two entered the room, they were immediately attracted by the unique furniture in the room. There were not many things in the room, but everything was exquisite, which they had never seen before.

If Zhao Lan dies, all these things will become theirs. Just by thinking about this, their heart almost floats in the air.

“Who told you to come in? Get out of here!” Zhou Awu angrily shouted. If they were not women, he would have beat them a long time ago.

Mrs. Liu stare at back at him and said: “Why are you so fierce? We didn’t come here to see you. Why are you acting like the master of the house?”

Zhao Lan had no energy to deal with them. She was too lazy to talk. She just closed her eyes and lay down. She acted like she didn’t see those two people.
