Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Avoiding Bandits (Three Chapters in One)_1

Yingbao brought Madam Wen's carriage into the bamboo grove, stopping next to her own mule cart.

Spring Maiden was slightly surprised to see her daughter riding back on a deer, but held back her reprimand when she saw Madam Wen's family.

"Mr. Wen, how is the situation in the village?" asked Spring Maiden.

Madam Wen said, "Everyone has taken what they could and moved to North Mountain. Our carriage couldn't make it there, so we had no choice but to come here."

"There's no need to say this is out of desperation." Spring Maiden said, "We're all just finding refuge together. Eh? What about the other gentleman? Did his family not come with us?"

Madam Wen sighed, "They insisted on hurrying to the town, claiming it'd be safer there. No matter how I persuaded them, they didn't listen."

She feared that the road to the town would already be blockaded by bandits, which would undeniably worsen their situation.
