Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Foreign Spy (8)_1

Feng Wei rode Chang Yonglin’s horse and traveled overnight.

Pei Yuan and Pei Wendong, even Chang Yonglin, were all still looking forward to Pei Qin returning home after receiving her reward.

With Feng Wei away, the three of them practiced martial arts at home. Pei Yuan set up a pancake stall and baked the pancakes to sell on her own.

Chang Yonglin had his servants help with kindling the fire, and when it was time to pack up, they helped with that too.

The servant’s face was grim, his eyes brimming with tears. The Young Master was making him start the fire again! But luckily, it wasn’t every day! No, wrong, these days the only one cooking was Second Miss Pei, so he still had to light the fire! Such a tough life!

Zhang Yan also felt that Pei Qin really had a hard life, from childhood to now, one event following another. Just as she was about to make a break from Old Pei’s House and carve out her own path, she was about to face another ordeal.

Seeing Pei Yuan talking to Wang Ting with a beaming face about the Yamen Government Office of the Magistrate paying a visit, Zhang Yan fondled the ring on his finger, wondering whether he should save Pei Qin this time.

With Pei Qin not at home and having gone to Fu City, Wang Ting was a bit unhappy. He had been to Fu City many times, their family had many shops there, and there were Tian Zhuang lands; she was going to Fu City and didn’t even tell him. He didn’t stay for the meal, but took a pocketful of sesame pancakes and returned to the county city.

Zhang Yan thought about it all the way, and finally, his gaze fell on that pocket of sesame pancakes, with an image of her sunny smile and a hint of an emerging aura flashing through his mind. After sending Wang Ting home and having lunch, he said he needed to step out.

Yuanyang County was at the northernmost part of Runing Prefecture, and it would take two or three days to get to Runing Prefecture by horse-drawn carriage.

Pei Qian was cheerful all the way, mentioning that if Pei Qin bought anything useful in Fu City, she wouldn’t stop her.

Pei Qin made a list; anyway, they were traveling by donkey cart, and if the prices were lower than in Yuanyang County, she would buy everything and take it home.

Upon hearing the list Pei Qin was making, Pei Qian’s face darkened.

Sun Lizheng was also in a good mood, despite the travel being a bit hard and a little cold, but during this trip to the Yamen, Pei Qin had even taken the initiative to suggest he, the Lizheng, accompany her; when Pei Qin received her reward, he, as the Lizheng, could also get a share of the glory!

Along the way, Pei Qin drove the cart, occasionally slowing down to enjoy the roadside scenery. After three and a half days, they finally arrived in Fu City.

The government officer was almost running out of patience and, with a forced smile, ushered them to go to the Yamen’s hall.

Pei Qin saw a cereal shop across the street and guided the donkey cart there, striking up a conversation with the Shopkeeper, shamelessly claiming she was Young Master Wang’s teacher, there to handle affairs at the Yamen, and asked to leave the donkey cart there.

Female teachers were rare, and there were no female teachers among those teaching the Wang brothers. Observing her appearance and after she was proven to be adept at skateboarding, even better and flashier than the boys on the street, the Shopkeeper believed her and allowed them to leave the donkey cart at the shop.

"Big sister! Why do we need to leave the donkey cart here? We’re familiar with Young Master Wang, not with this Shopkeeper. What if we lose it? Wouldn’t it be safer at the Yamen?" Pei Qian was reluctant.

Their own safety was not even guaranteed, let alone that of the donkey cart! Pei Qin glanced at her and, clutching the calling card Shen Songming had given her, led her and Sun Lizheng to the Yamen.

The Yamen was much more imposing than the County Government Office, and even the stone lions at the entrance were much larger.

Pei Qin squinted, taking in the sight, and strode forward.

Pei Qian followed closely behind, carrying a mix of awe for the Government Office and the excitement of impending rewards.

Sun Lizheng, seeing Pei Qin’s calm demeanor, began to doubt. She was just a fifteen-year-old girl about to receive a great reward from the Government Office, yet she was so composed, even more so than himself. Such courage was certainly not to be underestimated!
