Chapter 182: My Lord, I'm Back to See You

The capital city is brightly lit under the night sky.

Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo walked hand in hand on the bustling street.

After staying in Jizhou for a while, Xiao Chengjin naturally knew the difference between the capital and Jizhou.

The capital city appears prosperous on the surface, but people's hearts are very complicated.

Although Jizhou is not a wealthy place, people live freely there.

"Ruoruo, do you like the capital?" Xiao Chengjin asked subconsciously as his thoughts surged.

Jiang Ruo was enjoying the night view happily. When she heard Xiao Chengjin's words, she blurted out, "I like it!"

Xiao Chengjin turned his head to look at the person next to him, a smile flashing in his eyes.

"Since you like it so much, why don't you take it down and give it to you?"

Jiang Ruo stopped when he heard that.

She looked around and dragged Xiao Chengjin into a dark alley.

"You stupid man, are you?"

"What's so good about being an emperor? Every day I have to get up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. I have to deal with endless memorials and worry endlessly."

"If the dog emperor likes the throne so much, then give it up."

"When he gets tired of living and starts looking for trouble with us, we'll just throw him into the cold palace and lock him up...let him continue to handle memorials and worry about things."

It’s a free tool, so don’t waste it if you don’t use it.

Xiao Chengjin was stunned by Jiang Ruo's teaching.

What Ruoruo said...seems to make sense.

He took off the silver mask on his face, lowered his head and kissed Jiang Ruo's forehead, and said in a flattering manner: "Ruoruo, you still see things clearly."

Jiang Ruo smiled complacently when he heard this.

She raised her hand and pinched Xiao Chengjin's cheek, and said proudly: "As far as I know, people who live long are those who don't worry."

"In order to live longer in the future, we have to worry less, understand!"

Xiao Chengjin: "......"

Okay! Ruo Ruo is right.

Jiang Ruo thought about going to the Duke's Mansion tonight, so she stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of Xiao Chengjin's lips.

"Okay, let's go to the Duke's Mansion!"

Just as Jiang Ruo was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Chengjin pulled her back into his arms.

"Ruoruo, I want a kiss..."

"Hmm..."

After a long while, Jiang Ruo rubbed her red lips lightly and muttered, "I suspect you did it on purpose."

Xiao Chengjin coaxed with a guilty conscience: "Ruoruo, I just can't help myself."

Jiang Ruo's ears flushed as she asked, "Really?"

What a scheming dog. He knew that he would visit someone later, but he still kissed his lips until they were swollen.

"Ruoruo, let's take a shortcut from here to the Duke's Mansion." After Xiao Chengjin finished speaking, he naturally took Jiang Ruo's hand.

The Duke's Mansion has not had an easy time in recent years and is under surveillance every day.

The dog prince has complained about this more than once.

Xiao Chengjin brought Jiang Ruo to a relatively secluded corner of the Duke's Mansion with ease.

"Ruoruo, let's go in from here."

"good!"

The two of them swiftly entered the Duke's Mansion and quietly walked towards a courtyard...

Xiao Chengjin: My Lord, I’m back to see you.

The Duke's Mansion.

Ning Jinghuai frowned slightly and paced back and forth in the yard.

Thinking of the back figure he saw during the day, he felt puzzled.

Why does that back figure look so much like the Dog Prince?

Ning Jinghuai stopped, looked up at the night sky, and muttered to himself: "Could it really be him?"

After he woke up, he suddenly realized his mistake and secretly returned to the capital to retrieve the important "item".

To rise up and seize the throne...

Thinking of this, Ning Jinghuai couldn't help but chuckle, "Hehe!"

Haha, I can finally marry a wife with peace of mind.

When Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo sneaked into Ning Jinghuai's yard, they saw him standing there like a fool, looking at the night sky and grinning foolishly.

"cough!"

Ning Jinghuai was startled back to his senses by a light cough.

He looked around warily, "Who is it?"

Xiao Chengjin slowly walked out from the shadows holding Jiang Ruo's hand.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's me."

Ning Jinghuai took two steps forward, unable to conceal his excitement, "Lord Dog, is it really you?"

"Come back to the room with me quickly." Ning Jinghuai said, and took the lead and ran straight to the room.

It would be bad if I was captured after finally coming back.

Xiao Chengjin and Jiang Ruo looked at each other and followed Ning Jinghuai's pace.

Jiang Ruo: This guy... is quite interesting.

In the room.

Ning Jinghuai looked at the "man" next to Xiao Chengjin and scratched his head in confusion.

No wonder the Dog Prince is not interested in women. Those people really guessed it right.

When Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai's expression, he knew that he had wrong thoughts.

"Ruoruo, he is Prince Ning." Xiao Chengjin took off his mask and naturally took Jiang Ruo's hand.

Jiang Ruo curled the corners of her lips, "Hello, Prince Ning!"

When Ning Jinghuai heard the female voice, he knew that Jiang Ruo was a woman disguised as a man.

Ruoruo, it must be Jiang Ruo!

Haha, Xiao Chengjin made a lot of money from this wedding.

It was almost a misunderstanding.

Ning Jinghuai put away his nonchalant look and said with a bit of embarrassment: "Sister Ruoruo, come and sit over here."

Jiang Ruo glanced sideways at Xiao Chengjin and coughed lightly, "Xiao Chengjin, we have known each other since childhood."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but raise his voice, "What? You've known each other since childhood?"

Ruoruo and Ning Gou have known each other since childhood. Why didn't anyone tell him?

After coming to his senses, Xiao Chengjin held Jiang Ruo in his arms with a vigilant look on his face.

"Ruoruo, he is not a good person, stay away from him."

Ning Jinghuai: “….”

Lord Dog, you're going a bit too far.

You must be jealous!

Jiang Ruo chuckled, "Xiao Chengjin, you're almost there."

Ning Jinghuai looked at Xiao Chengjin with displeasure and snorted coldly.

"You guys wait here, I'll make some tea."

After Ning Jinghuai left, Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo with a wronged look on his face, "Ruo Ruo, you didn't even tell me that you knew the Dog Prince."

Jiang Ruo glared at Xiao Chengjin coquettishly, "There are so many things you don't know, so why don't I tell you."

Xiao Chengjin pretended to be sad, "Shouldn't we be honest with each other?"

Jiang Ruo snorted proudly, "Whether you confess is your business, whether I confess is my business, we can't mix the two!"

You must be curious about many things!

Hehe, I just won’t tell you.

Xiao Chengjin: "......"

Woohoo, Ruoruo really doesn’t love me enough.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ning Jinghuai returned to the room carrying a tray.

He sat at the table, pouring tea slowly.

"How's the situation in Jizhou?"

"For now, everything is fine." Xiao Chengjin said, raising his eyebrows at Jiang Ruo.

The people of Jizhou were able to cope with the drought easily, and his Ruoruo played an indispensable role.

Ning Jinghuai looked at the two people flirting with each other and held his forehead helplessly.

"During this time, I secretly prepared some food. The higher-ups were keeping a close eye on it. I had originally planned to send someone to transport it out of the capital on the day of the Crown Prince's wedding..."

Now that's all, you can transport it back by yourselves!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin raised the corners of his lips slightly, "We are not short of food in Jizhou for the time being."

Ning Jinghuai raised his eyebrows, "In that case, we are relieved."

In order to secretly prepare the food, he went to the brothel every day and played the role of a playboy.

His father, without knowing it, went to the brothel with a machete and hacked people every day...

Now, everyone in the capital knows that Ning Jinghuai from the Duke's Mansion is a playboy.

This made things even worse for him as he was already unable to find a wife.

Alas, he is simply too difficult.

Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai's helpless expression and smiled, "No matter what, Ruo Ruo and I still want to thank you for your kindness."

My family is very wealthy, how could I possibly starve to death?

Besides, my Ruoruo won’t let me starve to death.
