On the official road, a carriage was moving slowly.

Chen Ningzhu had a wooden face and stared at the handsome man opposite.

After not seeing each other for such a long time, the man was as handsome as ever, with a pair of bright and tender peach blossom eyes that moved gently, depicting Shen Ningzhu's eyebrows.

It makes people unable to help but sink into it.

If you didn't know, you would think that the person with a cold face and a cold dagger against her neck was not him.

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for so long, Shen Ningzhu was the first to break the silence.

"Why did you arrest me this time?"

Jiang Yanche had a gentle smile on his lips, wearing a jade crown on his head, black hair draped over his shoulders, and a brand new moon-white cloud brocade robe. The chest and cuffs were simply embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns with silver thread. Light and shadow floated as he moved, low-key yet luxurious.

As light as a startled swan, as graceful as a flying dragon.

Hearing this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

There was a hint of cunning in his tone, "Guess."

Shen Ningzhu almost couldn't help rolling her eyes, her tone full of sarcasm, "Your Highness Prince Chen kidnapped me, so you won't miss me, right?"

The man was stunned, then laughed out loud.

"Zhuzhu, you're so smart. You guessed it all? That's right, I really miss you. A day without seeing you feels like three years. So, I've come all the way to the capital to find you."

The corners of Shen Ningzhu's mouth twitched.

Thank you for listening to me.

I used to think he was just a green tea girl, but I never thought he could be so smooth-talking.

"So, you kidnapped someone and took the official road openly? You even had the carriage drive slowly. Are you afraid that others won't be able to catch up?"

"you guess."

Shen Ningzhu finally lost her patience, her face turned cold, and she turned her head away without saying another word to the fool.

Jiang Yanche touched his lips and smiled softly. He seemed to be in a good mood, and his chest was shaking with laughter.

Seeing that Chen Ningzhu didn't even look at him, he had to lower his head and use a gentle voice as if he was just meeting her for the first time, to coax her.

"Okay, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I swear I will never tease you again, okay?"

What's the meaning of his doting tone?

Shen Ningzhu was a little confused about this fickle man. He leaned lazily against the wall of the car, smiled wantonly, and said in a nonchalant tone,

"I know Jiang Xuanyan is at the banquet. I also know that upon hearing that you were kidnapped, he will definitely rush here regardless of everything."

"So, I have laid a dragnet along the way."

Every once in a while, there were hundreds of assassins waiting for him. This time, he didn't believe that he couldn't kill Jiang Xuanyan.

As long as Jiang Xuanyan dies, the world will soon return to his hands.

Chen Ningzhu seemed to be smiling,

"Are you so sure that he would risk his own life for me?"

The man spread his hands in feigned helplessness.

"Alas, love makes people blind. I admit that Jiang Xuanyan is indeed very smart and resourceful, but it's a pity that he is an emotional love-brain."

Shen Ningzhu pursed her lips.

The autumn wind was blowing, and the leaves on both sides of the official road were golden, which was a beautiful sight.

Chen Ningzhu simply relaxed and stopped talking. Her slender fingertips gently lifted a corner of the curtain and she carefully admired the scenery along the way.

Beside him, a man's faint voice sounded above his head.

"Don't bother worrying about it. You can't escape."

Shen Ningzhu turned back with amusement, "Why should I run away?"

Jiang Yanche also laughed, "I am not that idiot Jiang Xuanyan. I will not be deceived by you again and again, and I will not foolishly believe such nonsense as you want to escape from Jiang Xuanyan."

Shen Ningzhu ignored him.

She certainly wouldn't run away.

This trip to Yu County would have been worth it if either he or Jiang Xuanyan died.

However, she hoped that the person who died would be Jiang Yanche. Jiang Xuanyan was the biological father of the children, and he had no descendants. Even if he were alive, he could not shake her son Nian'er's position as the crown prince.

As long as Jinxiu is still the princess, Huanian is still the prince, and Song Hanchuan is still the prime minister, then the people she cares about can live well and without being coerced.

In this way, even if this trip to Yu County would cost her life, she would have no regrets.

The carriage swayed for a long time before finally arriving at Yu County. After entering the city, it stopped at the gate of the Yu County government office.

Only then did Shen Ningzhu realize that the magistrate of Yu County was actually Jiang Yanche's man.

He frowned immediately.

I hope Jiang Xuanyan won't be impulsive and come here alone, otherwise, he will be walking into a trap.

Jiang Yanche took her into the county government office, and then called a maid to take Shen Ningzhu back to the backyard, and had someone help her wash and eat.

Chen Ningzhu allowed the maid to help her bathe, change clothes, and re-dress before sitting back at the table.

Just when I was at a loss, I heard sounds of arguing at the door.

"Miss, you can't go in here."

"You lowly slave, open your eyes and see who your master is. Have you forgotten that I am the county magistrate's legitimate daughter? Do I need other people's permission to enter my own courtyard?"

"This... Miss, please forgive me. The master has ordered that this is a distinguished guest staying here and no one is allowed to disturb him."

"What if I must go in?"

"Get out of the way. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the responsibility myself."

The maid was so frightened that she trembled all over and quickly knelt on the ground, but without saying a word, she blocked the way.

The young woman was very angry.

Shen Ningzhu rolled her eyes and raised her voice, "Who's at the door? Let her in."

Hearing the clear female voice, the woman could no longer bear it, kicked the maid blocking her way away, and ran in quickly. When she saw the graceful Shen Ningzhu clearly, she was stunned.

Soon, his eyes were attracted by the ancient double-disc cloud-shaped Qianshui skirt on Chen Ningzhu, and his eyes were instantly bloodshot.

"Bitch, who allowed you to wear this dress?"

In order to get this skirt, she begged her father for a long time. Her father always treated her like a treasure and would try his best to satisfy her any request. So, he took great pains to help her get it.

But a few days ago, she said that something unexpected happened and she couldn't give her the skirt for the time being.

She cried and made a fuss for a long time, but it was of no avail. She had thought something serious had happened.

If her maid had not just accidentally seen another maid walking towards her with a gorgeous dress, she would not have known that the dress she had been dreaming of was actually being worn by this bitch.

And this yard.

This is the courtyard with the best location and the most spacious and luxurious rooms in the county government office.

Before, she had been asking her father for it for a long time, but her father refused to give it to her, saying that he had the yard for his own use. But today, he actually let a bitch of unknown origin live in it.

Why?

How could she swallow this?

Li Jiaojiao's eyes were blazing with anger, her chest was heaving violently, and she wished she could eat Chen Ningzhu's flesh and blood and cut him into pieces.

"Come here, take off this bitch's ancient double-disc cloud-shaped Thousand Waters skirt for me."

The maid behind rushed forward to stop them.
