Chapter 117: Trying to escape by running away from home

After Fei Chan sat down, she secretly glanced at Gu Qingheng who was sitting above her.

How rude! How could I peek and get caught? Feichan wailed in her heart.

However, Feichan's eyes were shining, and he looked even more handsome up close. How could there be such a handsome man in this world?

"Ahem." The city lord next to him felt humiliated when he saw his daughter's silly look.

Fei Chan was awakened. She stood up after sitting upright and walked to the center to pay her respects. "Fei Chan's words and actions are rude. I hope you won't blame me, young master."

Gu Qingheng nodded lightly.

The scene suddenly became much quieter. Fei Chan couldn't stand this kind of atmosphere and was scratching her head.

"Sir, what do you want to talk about when you want to see me?"

"Cough cough... cough cough." The city lord put his fist to his lips and said:

"Why are you in such a hurry? The young master will speak naturally if he has something to say. Why are you rushing?"

It has always been just the ministers like them who are waiting, and no one has ever dared to urge them.

A few lives, so cool.

The city lord secretly complained, but his expression remained unchanged. He knew that he could not blame his daughter, as the prince's trip was a secret.

It's understandable that she acted unscrupulously without knowing the truth.

After cursing, the city lord comforted himself.

Feichan held her breath. Her father was furious and always contradicted her with everything he said.

"Your daughter is young and lively, that's normal."

Gu Qingheng said casually, and then asked Feichan: "I want to ask Miss, what do girls of your age like?"

Feichan said without hesitation: "Everything that is good-looking and obedient."

After hearing this, Gu Qingheng held the teacup. Zhao Mingzhu was the same age as her, so maybe she was the same?

Was he not obedient enough? Gu Qingheng's eyes fell on the peach tree outside the window. Thinking about it carefully, Zhao Mingzhu had always been the most obedient.

She was unwilling to do so, so she pretended to obey.

Gu Qingheng sneered. If he wanted to listen to her, the first thing he should do was to let her go.

"Besides that, what do you all hate?"

Feichan thought for a moment and said, "There are many, some ugly, some smelly, and some disobedient."

Feichan nodded secretly, almost everything was covered.

Gu Qingheng frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Thank you very much." Gu Qingheng nodded, stood up and walked towards his room.

Feichan was left confused: "Is that all?"

The city lord walked behind her and said, "Fortunately, it's gone."

"You damn kid, how many times have I told you to be more careful and stop acting like a fool all the time?"

"Am I your biological daughter? How could you talk about your own daughter like that?" Fei Chan curled her lips.

"Stop talking nonsense and leave now. Don't come here without my permission in the future."

Feichan followed behind the city lord, frequently looking back and whispering, "I'm going to marry him, Dad."

"Your father is dead, don't scream." The city lord replied.

Two days later.

Gu Qingheng stood in front of the window, listening to the city lord's reply behind him.

"Your Highness, I sent someone to check the naturalization register in the atlas. Recently, three families moved in with two raccoon servants and settled in Osmanthus Lane."

The city lord asked cautiously, "Your Highness, do you want me to lead people to arrest them now?"

He always thought that the thief was a big-name bandit, but he didn't expect that it was actually a woman, and she brought two cats with her.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like the women are running away from home...

Gu Qingheng glanced at the booklet and walked straight around the desk.

"I will go there myself."

This meant not to alert the enemy, and the city lord followed behind him.

In the Osmanthus Alley, Changhe and Changshu came back and said:

"Neither. One has all white cats, and the other has only Colorful Roaring Clouds and Rolling Brocade."

Neither are oranges nor dark clouds.

Gu Qingheng had a calm expression as he stared intently at the last house in front of him.

Changhe knocked on the door, and a silver-haired old lady came out. She squinted her eyes and said loudly:

"What are you doing?"

Changhe said, "Can we go in and take a look?"

The old lady came closer: "A basket of apricots?"

She waved her hand: "No, no, I don't have any teeth left."

Changhe: ...

Everyone: ...

The city lord stepped forward, then pulled the old lady over, leaning close and saying three times, "Look at your cat!"

The old lady finally heard the last sentence clearly. She nodded and said loudly: "Look, look, don't scare them."

After Changhe Changshu went in, he quickly found the two cats.

The two of them said in unison, "It's not them."

The two tabby cats lying there were as fat as balls, obviously not them.

The city lord outside the door kept asking where the previous family had moved to, but the old lady couldn't hear at all. Fortunately, an old fisherman passing by happened to hear it.

"Sir, the girls from the previous household should have moved out a long time ago. They wanted to leave during the heavy rain a while ago, but I persuaded them to come back."

"Now that it's been sunny for several days in a row, it should be gone."

"What do they look like, old man? Do you still remember?" Changhe asked hurriedly.

After hearing this, the old fisherman recalled: "They were all very beautiful, especially one of the girls, who was like a fairy." He still felt a little regretful.

"I'm just unlucky. I can't eat any of the seafood I picked up at the beach."

Gu Qingheng instantly recalled those annotations.

Chang He took out some silver and gave it to the fisherman: "Thank you very much. If I see them again when I go out to sea, please be sure to come to the City Lord's Mansion and tell us."

The old fisherman nodded, took the money and left happily.

At this time, the entourage of the Lord of Chuncheng came closer and whispered a few words to him.

The city lord frowned and scolded: "How do you do things?"

Seeing everyone's attention focused on him, the city lord said to Gu Qingheng, "All the naturalization books in this atlas are here, but because of the Sea God Festival, there were so many people and things were complicated that the Blue Water Island book was mistakenly taken as a book from previous years."

"If Your Highness wishes, I can take you to the island for a look. The Sea God Festival is a major festival, and all the people of Spring City will go there to enjoy it when they have time."

"Those two are girls. There's no reason not to go to such a lively place."

…

On Blue Water Island, Zhao Mingzhu sneaked out of the house and looked back.

I ran into Ayu head-on.

She quickly covered Ah Yu's hand and said, "Don't talk."

The fragrance of flowers hit Ayu, and her face turned red and she nodded.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Zhao Mingzhu let go of her hand and took a step back: "I'm going to go out and get some peace and quiet, so that Qiao'er won't keep thinking about me."

She refused the arranged marriage.

Ah Yu nodded after hearing this and said softly, "Miss, I will go with you. Otherwise, I will be worried if you go out alone."

Zhao Mingzhu had no objection to this, but what about the two cats?

Ayu seemed to understand what she hadn't said.

"Miss, please wait here. I will take the cat away."

Zhao Mingzhu thought about it and decided to stand there waiting for Ayu to come back.

A moment later, Ayu came back, but he hurriedly hid the cat box behind him.

Qiao'er grabbed Zhao Mingzhu below.

"Miss, how old are you? You actually want to run away from home to escape? Didn't you promise me that you would go with me?"

Zhao Mingzhu knew she was in the wrong, and said, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have run away."

After hearing this, Qiao'er put her hands behind her back and turned around to see Ayu trying to sneak away.

"stop!"

Ah Yu turned around and admitted her mistake: "Sister Qiao'er."

Qiao'er knew from looking at the cat box that the two of them had communicated with each other.

"You didn't persuade the young lady, and even ran away from home with her. Ah Yu, you won't have any salary next year!"

Ah Yu nodded after hearing this: "Sister Qiao'er, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."

Qiao'er held Zhao Mingzhu with one hand and pulled the cat box away with the other: "We're going out together later, and no one can be absent."
