Chapter 223: Inexperienced
When it was daybreak, Shen Yiyi and Jiang Zuo were already thirty miles away from Shuntian Prefecture.
While driving the carriage and eating a bun, Jiang Zuo recalled the scene at the inn. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked.
"Miss, weren't you afraid when you killed those people?"
Even though I have seen the eldest lady attack those people more than once, I am still very puzzled.
How could the Crown Princess, a daughter of a wealthy family who never leaves the Prime Minister's mansion, be so bold and cruel?
Just like those killers, when taking people's lives, there was not a trace of fear on their faces, and they didn't even hesitate.
Even those of them who travel with their masters all year round have to think twice before taking someone's life.
The Crown Princess didn't even hesitate, which really puzzled him. As soon as she finished speaking, Yiyi's head popped out of the carriage.
“……………………” Jiang Zuo trembled with fear.
He was so nervous that he crushed the bun in his hand. Looking at the broken buns in his hand, Shen Yiyi frowned.
"What are you afraid of? I can't eat you!" She rolled her eyes at him again, saying that he was such a grown-up but still so timid.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
I was just thinking about something when the Crown Princess suddenly came out of the carriage. I would have been scared if I hadn't.
He looked at the crushed bun in his hand and thought it would be a pity to throw it away. It would be broken into pieces in his stomach anyway. So he stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites. Shen Yiyi frowned when she saw it.
"……………………"
It's so disgusting to eat! I remembered what he just said and patted his shoulder again.
"You are just too inexperienced and don't understand. I will teach you a lesson today."
Shen Yiyi also climbed out of the carriage and sat in Han Chun's previous seat. She crossed her legs and looked at Jiang Zuo earnestly.
"I tell you, people can't be too kind."
"Huh?" Jiang Zuo was stunned, obviously not understanding what the Crown Princess said.
"I mean, it's okay to be kind, but when and against whom do you score points?"
After Shen Yiyi finished speaking, she moved closer to Jiang Zuo, as if she was afraid of being heard by others.
"Just like those people in the inn, you must never be kind to them, and if you meet them, you must not keep them."
Seeing the Crown Princess' serious expression, Jiang Zuo also became serious.
"Why?"
Even though he also thought that they were not good people and did not deserve to die, seeing how confident the Crown Princess was, he still wanted to hear what she had to say.
"Because if we keep them, we're harming others. People like them have already turned into wicked people.
If we leave them here, who knows how many lives will be lost at their hands and how many families will be destroyed by them.
So if we get rid of them, we are doing a good deed, do you understand?"
"Well, I understand, but Miss, aren't you afraid at all?" Jiang Zuo looked at Shen Yiyi.
Even though he knew that what the Crown Princess said was not wrong, he was still puzzled when he saw her indifferent look.
More than a dozen lives were lost just like that. How could a young girl like the Crown Princess remain so calm?
"Afraid? No! We are doing good things, we should be happy, how can we be afraid?"
Shen Yiyi looked at Jiang Zuo as if it was a matter of course, and there was no fear after killing someone.
"Oh." Jiang Zuo nodded. He saw that the Crown Princess looked like nothing had happened and was really not afraid.
I really don't know how he developed his psychological quality. If I hadn't investigated the Crown Princess, I would have thought he was an old killer in the underworld.
Seeing Jiang Zuo's dazed look, Shen Yiyi patted his shoulder again.
"Are you scared? No, I have some sedatives for you to take. The world is very dangerous, and you are not experienced in it. Just practice a little."
After saying that, he climbed back into the carriage. Xiao Jiang was just too young and inexperienced, so he just needed some exercise.
“……………………”Jiang Zuo.
He is still young and inexperienced! He has been running around with his master since he was ten years old.
After what happened at the inn, Shen Yiyi and Jiang Zuo decided to sleep outdoors. It was not because they were afraid of being robbed, but mainly because there were too many things in the car.
Even if you rent an inn, you can't go back to the house to rest. It's not cost-effective just to take a bath.
Jiang Zuo didn't object. No matter where he slept, he would be on duty for the Crown Princess. Besides, it would be more convenient to sleep outdoors.
Seeing that they would arrive in Lingbei tomorrow, Shen Yiyi and Jiang Zuo were very excited. Although it would be interesting to walk around along the way.
But there were too many things in the carriage, and it was so hot that sleeping was not enough to relieve my fatigue.
I thought that after I found a place to stay in Lingbei, I must have a good sleep.
Jiang Zuo was not thinking about these things. He heard that there were constant wars in Lingbei and that there was a shortage of supplies in the rear.
I didn't know how my master was doing now. I saw the tea stall on the side of the road from a distance. After hesitating for a moment, I turned around and looked at the carriage.
"Miss, there is a tea stall up ahead, shall we take a break?"
Although he couldn't wait to see his master, the Crown Princess kept complaining about the hot weather all the way.
There happened to be a tea stall in front, so I thought of letting the Crown Princess stop there to have a cup of tea. We were almost in Lingbei anyway, so there wouldn't be much time left.
Shen Yiyi, who was lying on the bed fanning herself, immediately sat up after hearing Jiang Zuo's words.
"Yes, I want some tea."
It's so hot now. It would be so comfortable if I could drink a cup of cold tea to cool down.
"Okay." Jiang Zuo agreed, quickened his pace, and stopped in front of the tea stall.
"Boss, give me a pot of herbal tea!" he shouted towards the tea stall.
"Okay!" The boss grinned and looked at a woman next to him.
"Go and wipe that table over there!"
"Yes." The woman looked at the man timidly, then took the rag and went to another table.
Looking at Shen Yiyi getting off the carriage, a hint of pity flashed across his eyes, but he still lowered his head and went back to serve tea.
Shen Yiyi didn't notice any of this. There was an empty table over there, so she walked over happily.
"Boss, what kind of tea is this? How much is it?"
"Miss, this is green tea, two cents a pot." The boss grinned and handed the teapot in his hand back to the woman.
"Go and give it to the girl!"
"Yes." The lady nodded, took the teapot, lowered her head and came to Shen Yiyi.
"Girl, have some tea."
As he spoke, he poured a cup of tea for Shen Yiyi and Jiang Zuo.
“……………………” Jiang Zuo frowned.
He pointed at the woman and wondered why she looked so timid. He then looked at the other tables around him and saw that all the people drinking tea were men, and strong men at that. It was obvious that something was wrong.
Seeing Jiang Zuo looking at her, the woman was so scared that she lowered her head again and immediately turned around and left.
Shen Yiyi was unaware of all this. She picked up the teacup and was about to drink it when she smelled something wrong with the tea.
"Ok?"
