Chapter 20: Departure

  Chapter Twenty Departure

  By evening, Lin Xing Province had brought the official document back from the county seat. Upon learning that his sister had injured her benefactor, he was also in a state of panic. However, Lin Wan'er had already been punished and the benefactor did not seem to hold any grudges. As her brother, all he could do was comfort his sister.

  They got Li Mingfeng's gold, and that night's dinner was still sumptuous. Several red candles were also lit in the hall, and the big household's momentum was fully displayed. For some consideration, Lin Dehai also let his wife come out to see the guests, and the four of them had dinner together. Lin Xingchu saw this arrangement and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but Li Mingfeng came from modern times and felt that this was a normal arrangement, so he didn't think much about it.

  After a few days, Lin Wan'er's body also recovered, but Li Mingfeng never saw this classical beauty again.

  On this day, Lin Dehai and his son saw Li Mingfeng hastily returning to Guangzhou, so they rented a horse-drawn carriage and put down soft cushions. Lin Dehai ordered Lin Sheng to carry Li Mingfeng out, and also asked Mrs. He to pack up the four treasures of the study, fine silk, and official documents in preparation for departure.

  Lin Wan'er had been harboring a deep-seated hatred for Li Mingfeng since the beating, but after hearing from her mother that he was well-connected and powerful, she could only swallow her anger.

  Her father and brother were both going on a long journey, so Lin Wan'er naturally had to come out to see them off. She deliberately avoided Li Mingfeng, but this time she could only force herself to put on a smiling face to deal with Old Li.

  The horse carriage was ready, Li Mingfeng was helped onto the carriage and lay down, Lin Xing province took over the package from his mother's hands, Lin Sheng held the whip, it seemed that this little guy could still drive a horse.

  Everything was ready, Lin Dehai said to his daughter: "Wan'er, you have also read many poems and books since childhood. This time, I will take your brother to Guangzhou for the exam, you can come with us too, and see the grandeur of the provincial capital's scholars."

  Lin Wan'er was overjoyed when she heard the news. She had been very competitive since childhood, reading many books of poetry and even refusing to bind her feet. She often dreamed of becoming a heroine like Hua Mulan. However, in this era, women were subject to many restrictions, and Lin Wan'er had only been to the county town so far. How could she be content with that? Today, when she heard that her father was willing to take her to Guangzhou City to see the outside world, Lin Wan'er was naturally extremely excited.

  Lin Dehai ignored his daughter's flashing eyes and continued, "You're a girl, weak in body, and it's not good for you to be out on the road, so take a carriage instead. You can also attend to your brother Li at the same time."

  Lin Wan'er was taken aback by these words, and thought to herself that it wasn't proper for a man and woman to ride in the same carriage. Why would her father arrange such a thing? She looked up at her father's eyes and saw the deep meaning in them, and suddenly understood something. Hurriedly, she said: "No! No! Brother Li has an injury on his leg, and the space in the carriage is narrow. If I'm not careful and bump into Brother Li's injured leg, that would be terrible."

  Li Mingfeng, although from modern times, still knew a bit about the etiquette of ancient times. How could this feudal society allow a young unmarried woman to be in the same carriage as a man? Thinking about Lin Dehai's affectionate attitude towards her over the past few days, and how he had recently stopped calling her "Li Brother" or "Master", Li Mingfeng also understood the old man's intentions.

  "Lin, don't be afraid, my leg has almost recovered in the past few days, a slight collision won't cause any problems." Old Li was not a modest gentleman, with a beauty delivered to his doorstep, he wouldn't push her away.

  When they heard Lin Mei's title, Lin Dehai and Lin Xing Sheng also felt a bit unnatural, and Lin Wan'er's face turned bright red, but it was unclear whether she was shy or angry.

  Lin Xing Province saw Li Da Ju Ren had spoken, how could he not help his great benefactor speak on stage? He also said seriously: "Sister, what are you still pushing away? Brother Li is a dignified scholar, can't you be afraid that he will make an impolite move? Brother Li has great kindness to our family, Father and elder brother rely on him. Now he has leg disease and cannot move easily, you don't go up to serve him, but instead twist and turn, how can Father and elder brother bear it?"

  Li Mingfeng looked at Lin Xing Province with great surprise, never expecting that this seemingly somewhat rigid guy would speak so cleverly, and in just a few sentences, he left Lin Wan'er speechless.

  Seeing Li Mingfeng coming over, Lin Xing also showed a triumphant smile, with a hint of seeking credit.

  Lin Wan'er opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Seeing the sharp eyes of her father and brother, she knew that refuting them would be futile. Turning back to look at her mother again, she found that Madame He was also smiling all over her face, it seemed that the whole family wanted to send herself into the tiger's mouth.

  Lin Wan'er was very proud, and at this point, she didn't refuse either. A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she glanced at Old Li with a light gaze. Li Mingfeng suddenly felt a chill run down his entire body, and subconsciously moved his injured right leg back a bit. Only now did Li Mingfeng slightly regret letting this woman come up.

  Lin Wan'er got on the carriage and sat at the very back, Lin Sheng lowered the curtain, cracked his whip, and they officially set off. Lin Dehai also sat outside the carriage, while Lin Xing-sheng followed behind on horseback. This horse was Li Da's ill-fated horse, which had been tripped and only suffered minor injuries, and after a few days of rest, it had already recovered to about 70 or 80 percent.

  Since she got on the car, Lin Wan'er had a sly smile on her mouth and was staring at Li Mingfeng's right leg with an eerie gaze.

  He swallowed his saliva, and Li Mingfeng dryly laughed: "Hehe, this Lin sister can take care of herself, don't need to worry about me. These past few days my leg has gotten much better, no need for sister to take care of me."

  Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "How can this be, Father and big brother both let me serve you, Master. If I'm slow, wouldn't that go against their words?"

  As soon as the words fell, Lin Wan'er stretched out her hand to lift her leg, and it was actually going to kick Li Mingfeng's injured leg. This time Li Mingfeng was really scared, if this kick was real, he would be in big trouble, and even if Lao Xiucan asked what happened, this dead girl would just keep crying, and he would be guilty no matter what, and even jumping into the Yellow River couldn't wash it clean.

  In a moment of desperation, Li Mingfeng suddenly grabbed Lin Wan'er's calf and, fearing she would make another move, pulled her entire body over with one swift motion. In an instant, Li Mingfeng had pinned Lin Wan'er beneath him.

  "Ah!" Lin Wan'er's exclamation was about to escape when her cherry-like mouth was covered by a large hand.

  Lin Wan'er never thought that this dignified scholar would be so shameless, is this still the behavior of a scholar? Even a dissolute young master wouldn't be so frivolous.

  One hand covered her mouth, the other grasped her embroidered leg, feeling the soft and delicate body beneath him, a certain part of Li Mingfeng's body stiffened uncontrollably.

  Lin Wan'er had been resentful of Li Mingfeng since she was beaten, but after hearing from her mother that he was a powerful and influential person, Lin Wan'er could only swallow her anger.

  Her father and brother were both going on a long journey, so Lin Wan'er naturally had to come out to see them off. She deliberately avoided Li Mingfeng, but this time she could only force herself to put on a smiling face to deal with Old Man Li.

  When they heard the name "Lin Mei Mei", Lin De Hai and Lin Xing Sheng also felt a bit unnatural, Lin Wan Er's face turned bright red, it was just unknown whether she was shy or angry.

  Lin Xing Province saw that Li Da Ju Ren had spoken, and how could he not help his great benefactor speak on stage? He also spoke seriously: "Sister, what are you still pushing away? Brother Li is a dignified scholar, can't you be afraid of him being rude?
