Chapter 222: I haven't seen you for many years, it's normal not to recognize you

In the carriage.

Chu Ruoyan snuggled up to the general's wife and said coquettishly, "Mother, please go back home first. I'll just take a walk around here."

"I promise not to get into trouble."

The general's wife reached out and gently tapped Chu Ruoyan's forehead, "I really can't do anything about you."

"Remember what you said."

Chu Ruoyan looked obedient, "Okay, mother."

"parking."

The driver pulled the reins and took off the riding stool.

After Chu Ruoyan got off the carriage, her personal maid Ling'er lifted the curtain and said, "Miss, please take it easy."

Don't get carried away.

"Ling'er, take good care of my mother and bring you something delicious when I come back."

Ling'er curled her lips when she heard this: Miss, please don't bribe me with delicious food anymore.

You are so thin and I am so plump, is this...appropriate?

After Chu Ruoyan watched the carriage leave, she turned around and suddenly looked at the figure standing at the door of the brothel.

Prince Dog, although your reputation is still there, you always go in and out of places like this, so there is no guarantee that you will not "lose your virginity".

Thinking of this, Chu Ruoyan clenched her hands and looked fierce.

No, I am still a "sickly kid", "cough cough..."

Chu Ruoyan restrained her expression and walked towards Ning Jinghuai, coughing every few steps...

Recently, Ning Jinghuai has regarded strolling around brothels as his "job".

He thought, since his reputation was ruined, he might as well act more realistically!

I don’t know if that lingering pretty boy will show up tonight.

Why do I miss him a little after not seeing him for a day?

Thinking of this, Ning Jinghuai shuddered.

What are you thinking about?

I just want "revenge".

"Cough, cough..."

Ning Jinghuai listened to the cough coming from far away and looked up...

Oh, what a coincidence.

I actually met Chu Ruoyan from the General's Mansion.

I haven't seen her for many years, and I don't know if she still recognizes me.

Well, that "pretty boy" looks quite like her when she was young.

Chu Ruoyan said: Don't worry, even if you turn into ashes, I can still recognize you.

Ning Jinghuai looked around and walked towards Chu Ruoyan.

Chu Ruoyan coughed as she walked.

She seemed to be admiring the night view, but in fact she was observing Ning Jinghuai in front of her.

When she saw Ning Jinghuai walking towards her, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

The night is so alluring, and I am also alluring.

As they walked, the two of them got closer and closer...

"Ahem..." When Chu Ruoyan came to Ning Jinghuai's side, she stumbled and fell uncontrollably...

Ning Jinghuai had been looking at Chu Ruoyan. The moment he saw her "fall", he quickly stepped forward and helped her up by the waist.

Chu Ruoyan didn't expect Ning Jinghuai's reaction to be so quick. The moment he was helped up by the waist, her ears turned red.

After she stood up, she said in a whisper, "Thank you, thank you."

Ning Jinghuai looked at Chu Ruoyan, who looked as weak as a willow in the wind, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He said jokingly, "Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite. It's just a small favor."

It is true that girls change a lot when they grow up.

I still remember that when she was young, Chu Ruoyan was like a little bully. She would beat down the legitimate son of one family today and make the legitimate daughter of another family cry tomorrow.

Tsk tsk, how come he becomes such a sickly child after growing up?

It is said that in the winter when she was seven years old, she fell into a lotus pond because she was playing too much. After that, she fell seriously ill and has been in poor health ever since.

"Ahem...Do you know me?" Chu Ruoyan asked while coughing and pretending to be confused.

Ning Jinghuai heard this and looked towards the alley not far away, "Miss Chu, please move over, let's talk over there."

Your father is a great general, and my father once fought alongside the late emperor on the battlefield. Both of our families are feared by the one above us.

It’s better to be careful.

In the alley.

"Chu Ruoyan, I'm Ning Jinghuai."

"We were good friends when we were young, how could you have forgotten me?"

"Besides, I'm also attending the palace banquet tonight." Ning Jinghuai said, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Why does the smell on her body resemble that of that pretty boy?

Chu Ruoyan coughed lightly and said with a hint of disappointment, "Prince Ning, I'm really sorry. I haven't left the house for several years, so... I didn't recognize you."

Sorry, I beat you up in the brothel yesterday.

Ning Jinghuai listened to Chu Ruoyan's somewhat lost tone and immediately turned on the "warm man" mode.

"It's normal that I didn't recognize you after not seeing you for many years."

"By the way, it's so late, you might run into bad guys outside, let me take you back home!"

While Chu Ruoyan tried her best to suppress her laughter, she covered her lips and coughed lightly a few times in a pretentious manner.

Bad guy?

It’s not certain who the bad guy is!

"In that case, thank you, Prince Ning."

Since you are so warm-hearted, I will beat you more gently next time.

Ning Jinghuai looked around and suggested, "Let's go down this alley and turn a few corners to get to the back door of the General's Mansion."

The two of them walked and talked like old friends...

In order to pretend to be sick, Chu Ruoyan covered her lips and coughed lightly from time to time.

Before they knew it, they had walked to the back door of the general's mansion.

Chu Ruoyan stopped and played with the handkerchief in her hand, "Thank you, Prince Ning, for taking me back home."

How did you get home?

Run farther next time.

Ning Jinghuai took a step back and said, "Miss Chu, there's no need to be so polite. Remember to bring guards with you when you go out next time."

"Goodbye!" After saying that, Ning Jinghuai turned and left.

It's a bit inappropriate late at night.

It doesn't matter to me, but it would be bad if it ruined Miss Chu's reputation.

Chu Ruoyan looked at Ning Jinghuai's back and curled her lips slightly, "Prince Ning, take care."

This "date" was pretty good.

When Ning Jinghuai's figure disappeared, Chu Ruoyan jumped into the general's mansion.

Jiang Mansion.

At midnight, Jiang Qinian, who was tossing and turning, put on a robe and went to the yard.

The huge mansion was silent.

At this moment, he seemed to understand that the Jiang Mansion was really not the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He stared blankly at the bright moon hanging in the night sky.

Suddenly, all the scenes of the past came flooding back to him like a tide...

Nangong Li's every smile and frown, and Jiang Ruo's babyish "Daddy" when she was little, are even clearer in such a quiet night.

Aping stood outside the yard, looking at Jiang Qinian's back and shook his head.

My Lord, you have brought all this upon yourself.

Do you regret...

At a certain inn, the yamen runner sent by Fan Qijun to deliver a letter said: On this day of reunion, this letter really cannot be delivered to your door!
