Chapter 212

Du Ruo turned back, and sure enough, it was that annoying scum Du Ren Mei.

Bad luck.

Hmph, she rolled her eyes, too lazy to say anything more, and turned straight to walk toward the city gate.

There were so many carriages at the city gate, someone must know where Yugui Shan was, right?

Wei Ming was so anxious he stamped his feet and had to look at Du Ren Mei with his eyes.

"Lord Du..." You should stop her, that's your own daughter!

Du Ren Mei naturally knew the stakes, lifted the hem of his official robe with his hand, and trotted over to block Du Ruo's path.

"Aman, listen to your father's advice, don't go, it's dangerous there."

Du Ruo turned a deaf ear and bypassed him to continue walking forward.

Seeing her attitude was so firm, Du Ren Mei was helpless; this stubborn daughter was destined to be incredibly noble in the future, so he couldn't afford to offend her.

But, before becoming incredibly noble, he had to save her life first.

Thinking of this, Du Ren Mei had to thicken his skin and chase after her, trying hard to maintain the posture of a father, but his tone revealed a hint of fawning, "Fine, fine, if you want to go, then go, Father won't stop you, but you must promise Father a few things..."

Du Ruo stopped, turned to look at him, and sneered, "Lord Du, don't talk about father this and father that; to me, you are nothing."

Du Ren Mei: "..."

That was too much; although he wanted to ease his relationship with Aman, he also had a temper!

"You!" Du Ren Mei's face flushed red, pointing at Du Ruo and saying "you" for a long time, but finally suppressed his temper and put on a doting smile, "You child, you just know how to anger your father."

Du Ruo got goosebumps all over.

Forget it, she should leave quickly, otherwise she was afraid she would be disgusted to death.

After walking a few steps, Du Ren Mei's voice came from behind again, "Aman, without the token I give you, you won't be able to see Jiang Li!"

Du Ruo's figure paused.

Token?

"Yes, Sister-in-law." Wei Ming hurriedly ran over and told her, "Head Jiang and the Xianling are both at the camp below Yugui Shan, guarded by hundreds of soldiers; to prevent infiltration by those bandits and spies, unless it's someone with a token or an official from the two county offices, other unrelated people are not allowed to enter."

Although Du Ruo was Jiang Li's wife, she was also among the unrelated people.

That is to say, even if she arrived at Yugui Shan, she could only watch from the periphery, unable to enter, let alone see Jiang Li.

Du Ruo's expression was dark and unclear.

Was there really no other way besides the token...

"I can give you the token." Du Ren Mei cleared his throat and straightened his back, "That, you just need to call me Father, and I'll go get it immediately!"

Pfft, Du Ruo turned and walked away.

Du Ren Mei was discouraged, "Alright, alright, don't call me that then; wait a moment, I'll go get it for you, is that okay?"

As he spoke, he gave Wei Ming a wink, signaling him to watch Du Ruo and not let her run away.

Then he walked into the Xian Ya himself.

Du Ruo really waited.

She wasn't stupid; why not use readily available resources? Using them didn't mean she acknowledged the scum; crossing the river and tearing down the bridge, maybe she would feel guilty if it were someone else, but for the Du family—

Heh, guilty? That doesn't exist.

After about a quarter of an hour, Du Ren Mei came out, followed by a person.

Thirty-something, medium height, rough skin and dark face, wearing a constable uniform, with a horizontal sword tucked at his waist.

Yang Dian Feng?

Du Ruo narrowed her eyes.

"Aman, I have already given the token to Constable Yang." Du Ren Mei thought very thoroughly, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone; Constable Yang has good martial arts, with him escorting you, I can be more at ease."

Hearing this, Wei Ming wanted to say something but stopped.

Du Ruo glanced at Yang Dian Feng, smiling without warmth, "Why, are there no other people in the office?"

Yang Dian Feng and Jiang Li were not on good terms; this was no secret, yet Du Ren Mei didn't send anyone else, but specifically sent Yang Dian Feng.

Was his brain flooded with water?

She even suspected Du Ren Mei was doing it on purpose, just to give her a show of force.

Du Ren Mei naturally saw Du Ruo's displeasure and hurriedly explained, "Actually, it's like this: most of the constables in the office have followed the Xianling to suppress bandits, and the remaining few are all out on errands; only Constable Yang just returned from leave and is free, so it's him."

Yang Dian Feng stood there with his arms crossed, a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Miss Du doesn't need to be so guarded against me; don't worry, public is public and private is private; since I promised Lord Du to send you safely to Yugui Shan, I will absolutely not break my word."

Du Ren Mei also hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Constable Yang has already written a pledge in front of me; if anything goes wrong on the road, I will only hold him accountable!"

Du Ruo was speechless.

She reached out to him, "Give me the token, and you can skip the person."

Du Ren Mei didn't give an inch this time, "No, if you want to go, take the person, otherwise don't go."

Repairing the father-daughter relationship was important, but the premise was not to let Aman die.

Du Ruo was so angry her teeth itched, she cursed a national treasure under her breath, too lazy to pay attention to this self-righteous hypocrite, and walked away without looking back.

Du Ren Mei immediately signaled Yang Dian Feng to follow.

Looking at the two backs, one in front and one behind, Wei Ming really couldn't hold back, "My Lord, should I go too?"

"You?" Du Ren Mei looked at him suspiciously.

"My Lord, think about it, a man and a woman traveling together, it's inevitable that gossip will arise, and it won't be good for the young lady's reputation. With me there, wouldn't it be justified?"

Du Ren Mei thought about it carefully, and it made sense.

Aman was someone who would be an Empress or a Noble Consort in the future, her reputation couldn't be damaged.

So he waved his hand, "Fine, then hurry up and go, I'll have others take your shift."
