Chapter 573 Aunt 3

Now she just hoped that the enemy's bodyguard wouldn't go forward to check, and since she had been so discreet just now, he shouldn't have seen her putting things away.

The guard did not see it. When he saw Du Mingxian taking off her clothes, he turned around. By the time he heard Du Mingxian finish putting on her clothes, he saw that she had already walked away.

However, he still glanced back and saw nothing there, so he didn't go forward to check and quietly followed the group.

Once the carriage started moving again, Chunfeng, who had been following along, quietly approached and found the note Du Mingxian had left behind in the haystack she had trampled. After only glancing at it, she quietly followed.

Du Mingxian always thought they would arrive at their destination by nightfall, but it turned out... the place was really far. That night, they went directly to a small town and rested at an inn.

There were only four people: her, the coachman from the Tian family, the old man, and the man who drove the old man's carriage. Yet the old man asked for six rooms.

As soon as Du Mingxian got off the carriage, the old man asked her to go to her room. A short while later, a waiter brought food into her room.

She didn't dare eat any of these foods, keeping them in her spatial storage, while she ate the food she made herself from there.

There was no sound all night, but the next day, just as dawn broke, there was a knock on her door.

"Who is it?"

"Xiao Du, we should go."

Du Mingxian was startled; it was a woman's voice, and it sounded very familiar: "I understand."

After getting dressed and tidying up, she opened the door and saw Aunt Bai standing outside with a cold face. She subconsciously called out, "Aunt Bai."

Aunt Bai looked her up and down, then gave a curt reply, "Yes, it's getting late, let's go."

"it is good."

Once outside, not only was Aunt Bai there, but also a young maid. However… the old man was gone, and there were several men dressed as guards. The coachman sent by the Tian family was also nowhere to be seen.

Aunt Bai rode in the old man's carriage, while Du Mingxian still rode in the smaller one prepared by the Tian family.

With women accompanying her, even going to the outhouse was done with someone following her, Du Mingxian's freedom was greatly restricted. However, Aunt Bai wanted the child in her belly, so she didn't go too far and even took good care of her.

The pace of travel was slow, and I didn't feel any discomfort.

The place they were taking her to was quite far away, and it took them six days to reach it. Perhaps Aunt Bai deliberately didn't want Du Mingxian to know where they were, so they took some small paths instead of the main roads.

Du Mingxian really couldn't figure out where she was. She wasn't from here, but she remembered the general direction.

On the afternoon of the seventh day, they entered a village surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was extremely remote, and from the outside, the villagers' living conditions didn't look very good; they all lived in thatched huts.

However... it wasn't a low thatched hut. The house was similar to a brick house, except the walls were made of mud and the roof was thatched, which looked very strange.

The village looks quite large, with probably a hundred or so households living there.

Aunt Bai led her directly to a courtyard, got off the carriage, and called out into the courtyard, "His third aunt, his third aunt."

"Oh, she's here." Soon, a woman rushed out of the courtyard. She didn't look like an easy person to get along with. She was very happy to see Aunt Bai. "Little Bai is back."

"Yes, we brought someone back. She's heavily pregnant, and I think she's about the same stage of pregnancy as your daughter-in-law. We don't have anyone else available right now, so let her stay at your place for now."

The woman referred to as Third Aunt immediately looked Du Mingxian up and down, who had just gotten off the bus, her eyes gleaming with gossip. "Xiaobai, who is this person?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. She's not a particularly important person. What's important is the baby in her belly. Your job is to watch her give birth to the baby."

"Okay, I'm good at this."

Aunt Bai was very satisfied. "Then you'll have to take good care of her these days. Her child can't be harmed; we'll need him very much."

"Okay, got it."

Aunt Bai waved her hand, "Then you make the arrangements, I'll go back first."

"it is good."

After Aunt Bai left, Third Aunt turned back to look at Du Mingxian with eyes full of disdain, "Let's go."

Du Mingxian could tell at a glance that this third aunt was not easy to get along with, but she wasn't worried at all.

Entering the courtyard, you'll find it's quite large, with three main rooms, two side rooms, and on the other side, a kitchen and a storage room.

Third Aunt pointed and said, "Alright, go inside and tidy up now. From now on, you'll live in the storage room just like that wretched girl in the house."

Du Mingxian didn't say anything, and walked in resignedly. The storage room was quite clean. There were all sorts of odds and ends piled up at the entrance. On the other side, near the window, there was a wooden board with a pile of straw on it.

The thatch had long been flattened, clearly indicating that someone had been sleeping here for a long time.

She searched around but couldn't find anything good. In the end, she could only take some dry straw and spread it in the corner, and then take out a piece of cloth and draw a curtain.

Thinking that he might need to enter the space at night in the future, which would be inconvenient, he simply put up a cloth over the place where the "dead girl" that his third aunt was talking about was sleeping.

This is where she will live next. It would be impossible to sleep on thatched roofs, so she took out a thinner mattress and a thicker one from her storage space, folded them up and put them in her corner.

Just as we finished tidying up here, my aunt was already yelling outside, "Newcomer, newcomer, come out here!"

As Du Mingxian walked out, she saw a woman coming out of the opposite room, also carrying a very large pregnant belly, which looked much bigger than her own.

"Third aunt."

"Since you've come to our house, you can't just eat and stay for free. We don't support idlers. Go cook now, and we'll take care of all the cooking from now on."

Du Mingxian had no objection to this, "Okay."

She walked towards the kitchen, and her third aunt followed behind her, saying, "If you cook well, I won't let you go hungry. If you don't cook well, you'll be sorry."

"it is good."

Have you ever cooked before?

"I have done it."

"That's fine. As long as you serve our family well, I won't mistreat you. But if you disobey, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

"I heard from Xiaobai that you are not important, the baby in your belly is important, so you need to recognize your place."

Du Mingxian remained compliant, replying, "Yes."

Third Aunt was delighted by Du Mingxian's obedience. "That's right. I like obedient servants like you. When that brat of ours comes back, you and she can work together. All the household chores will be handled by you."

Du Mingxian deliberately asked, "Who is that brat?"

Third Aunt rolled her eyes. "Our girl is a money-loser. You'll see when she gets back. Now go cook."
