Let's rewind the time to three months ago.
It was the season when the grass was growing and the kites were flying.
Since Lin Miner was in a bad mood, Zhao Zheng, who doted on his wife, informed the elders in the family and then took Lin Miner on a journey to visit the mountains and rivers.
Although Lin Miner was from a prominent family.
However, her mother had never been much favored since she was a child, and she herself didn't win Lin Feng's favor either, so she didn't receive much love.
The Lin family was a prominent family in the Eastern Ze Great Wilderness. But Lin Feng had a great many concubines and quite a few children. Lin Miner had always been timid and submissive since childhood and dared not make a fuss. When encountering problems, she mostly shrank back.
So,
She suffered all the hardships of being a daughter from a prominent family but didn't enjoy much of the treatment of a well - bred young lady.
She had been raised in the deep boudoir since childhood.
Then she met Zhao Zheng.
As days went by,
They fell in love.
Regardless of the family's opposition, she was determined to elope with Zhao Zheng.
She was like a bird kept in a golden cage, having never seen the outside world.
After giving birth to Zhao Shuning,
She devoted all her heart to this daughter and never even thought about going out.
Since her daughter went missing,
Lin Miner had been in low spirits all day long.
Zhao Zheng couldn't bear to see her spend the rest of her life in grief. Gritting his teeth, he made a decision to take Lin Miner out to visit the mountains and rivers.
Originally,
This was a good thing.
Because their daughter Zhao Shuning later became famous, Zhao Zheng also reaped many benefits. Zhao Shuning brought many high - level spiritual herbs for nourishing spiritual roots to Zhao Zheng.
In the long run,
Although Zhao Zheng's strength could never fully return to what it used to be, he was still strong enough to protect Lin Miner if he was careful while traveling in the martial world.
Facts proved that
It was indeed a right decision for him to take Miner out.
Along the way,
There were more and more smiles on Miner's face.
Although she would still wake up crying from her dreams at night, the frequency was gradually decreasing.
Seeing the effect,
Zhao Zheng was in no hurry to go back.
Instead, he took Lin Miner to the State of Cangwu.
Along the way,
They tried their best to keep a low profile and didn't flaunt the name of the Zhao family.
The reason they went to Jiangning was that when they arrived in the State of Cangwu, it happened to be the Flower Festival.
The Flower Festival held by the Baihua Family in the State of Cangwu had always been very grand.
Zhao Zheng then took Lin Miner to stay in Jiangning temporarily.
He thought that in a couple of days,
He could take Lin Miner to the capital to witness the grand occasion of the Flower Festival.
However,
Things didn't go as planned.
On the day they set off,
It was misty and rainy.
There was a lot of stagnant water on the road, and the ground was bumpy.
Worried that Miner might catch a cold, Zhao Zheng hired a carriage. According to the schedule, they could still reach the capital of the State of Cangwu before the Flower Festival.
It was just that
The weather was against them.
After their carriage had traveled for about half an hour,
The wheel got stuck in a deep pit. The horse neighed. Zhao Zheng got off the carriage and tried to drive the horse, but it was of no use because the wheel of the carriage was firmly stuck. When Zhao Zheng exerted more strength, the wheel fell apart.
Fortunately,
They were on a main road.
So although the weather was not good, there were still quite a few people coming and going.
Seeing that their carriage was broken,
Several merchants stopped and thought for a while.
"Gentlemen, could you please give us a hand? I, Zhao, will surely reward you handsomely afterwards."
Hearing this,
The merchants walked towards them.
At this time,
Lin Miner's worried voice came from inside the carriage.
"Brother Zheng, let me get out and help."
"Miner, it's raining outside. You're in poor health. Don't get out. If you get caught in the rain and fall ill, that won't be good."
Hearing this,
The curtain of the carriage, which had been half - lifted, was put down again.
Perhaps the rain got a bit heavier and wet the horse's eyes.
The horse got startled and took a few steps forward.
This time,
The carriage, which already had a broken wheel, lost its balance.
The whole carriage tilted.
Lin Miner was not a practitioner.
In this situation,
She fell out of the carriage.
Fortunately, Zhao Zheng had been paying attention to the movement of the carriage.
Seeing Lin Miner fall out of the carriage, he didn't care about anything else and quickly stepped forward to catch her.
At this moment,
Everyone around was stunned.
Lin Miner was gentle - looking and good - looking. Moreover, her soft - spoken way of talking made men feel pity for her.
In the misty rain,
A man was holding a beauty in his arms.
The beauty was extremely gorgeous. There was always a faint melancholy between her eyebrows. The woman was wearing a goose - yellow dress. Her fair skin was set off by the goose - yellow dress, making her look like a demure and charming young lady, having a unique charm.
The fine rain hit the woman's face.
She couldn't help reaching out her hand to block it.
Zhao Zheng quickly put Lin Miner down, fetched an oil - paper umbrella from the tilted carriage, and held it over Lin Miner.
"The rain is slanting. Even with an umbrella, your clothes may still get wet. Miner, try your best to protect yourself. I'll repair the carriage with these gentlemen, and then you can change your clothes."
Lin Miner nodded.
She looked so obedient.
Indeed,
Over the years,
Her personality had remained so mild - tempered.
If it didn't involve her children, she would always be so gentle and quiet.
Just as the merchants were about to step forward to help,
Another voice came from the side.
"Yo? What happened here?"
The one who spoke,
Was from another convoy.
Behind the convoy,
There were about a dozen servants and similar people following. It seemed that this person had a relatively high status in Jiangning.
The sounds of women's laughter kept coming from the luxurious carriage.
Hearing this voice,
And seeing the convoy,
The merchants immediately dared not move.
"That's Lord Yang's convoy."
"The one who spoke is Lord Yang."
"Since Lord Yang has intervened, let's not get involved in this mess. Otherwise, even if we get the money, we may not have the fortune to spend it."
After the merchants discussed,
They all left one after another.
Zhao Zheng couldn't stop them.
He had to look in the direction of the convoy. Who was the person in the carriage? How could just one word make these merchants show such a frightened expression?
"Sir, my carriage is broken, and I'm looking for someone to help. I wonder where I've offended you?"
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words,
The man in the luxurious carriage sneered.
He lifted the curtain.
In this Jiangning City, no one had ever dared to address him as "Sir".
Whoever saw him, Yang Hun, didn't respectfully call him Lord Yang?
"You've got quite a nerve."
Yang Hun looked in this direction.
At this time, Lin Miner was also worried. She lifted the oil - paper umbrella and looked in Yang Hun's direction.
The oil - paper umbrella was slightly lifted.
A woman with beautiful eyes and charming eyebrows came into view.
Just one glance,
All of Yang Hun's words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say another word.
What kind of woman was this?
She was completely different from all the women he had seen before.
She had the charm of a married woman and the delicacy of a young girl.
The man's mouth curled up involuntarily.
A woman pounced on him from behind, but he kicked her to the ground without a trace of pity.
Lin Miner felt terrified when she saw the look in the man's eyes opposite.
That Yang Hun,
Seemed to regard Lin Miner as his prey.
In his eyes,
There was only admiration for the prey.
