Chapter 295: No flower lasts forever, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is no exception
After hearing what Commander Wu said, the two elders of the Tang family turned pale.
They murmured to themselves, “How could this happen?”
Is this the end of the Tang family?
The next moment, the two could not bear the blow, their eyes rolled back and they fainted.
Tang Zhongxu and his wife ran with the Imperial Guards until their mouths were dry and their legs were shaking.
Before they could catch their breath, they saw the two elders of the Tang family fainted on the ground.
Their legs gave out and they fell to the ground, shouting hoarsely, "Dad, Mom, what happened to you?"
When the neighbors who were resting heard the noise, they put on their cotton coats and quietly came out to find out what had happened.
After inquiring, they found out that Tang Zhongxu had "committed a crime".
No flower lasts forever, and the Prime Minister’s Mansion is no exception!
After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin came out of the warehouse, they quickly ran out of the Tang Mansion and hid in the alley.
Just then, two royal guards guarding the back door arrived.
Jiang Ruo stopped, looked back at the two imperial guards guarding the back door, and whispered, "You're late. Bye!"
"Haha, let's go home and count the money."
Xiao Chengjin curled the corners of his lips, pulled Jiang Ruo and ran towards the princess's mansion.
The two of them passed through several dark alleys and suddenly saw two people talking and pulling each other in front of the alley.
Xiao Chengjin noticed with his sharp eyes that the man looked like Ning Jinghuai.
Oh no, they are hiding here to talk about love!
Thinking of this, Xiao Chengjin grabbed Jiang Ruo and whispered, "Ruoruo, let's go this way."
Jiang Ruo vaguely heard a deliberately lowered female voice, "You...lecher."
She thought someone was bullying the woman and wanted to step forward to rescue her.
"There's a woman being bullied over there. Let's go save her."
Xiao Chengjin leaned close to Jiang Ruo's ear and said, "That's Ning Jinghuai and Chu Ruoyan. They're flirting with each other. Let's not disturb them."
If I disrupt his date, Ning Jinghuai will probably break up with me.
Jiang Ruo: "..."
You know what, it sounded like Chu Ruoyan's voice just now.
"Hehe, I really want to see how other people fall in love."
At this moment, Ning Jinghuai's low voice came from the other side: "Yan'er, please be gentle, it hurts me."
When Jiang Ruo saw this situation, she pulled Xiao Chengjin away.
"Let's not disturb other people's love here, let's go!"
Haha, Chu Ruoyan is quite skilled. Prince Ning will probably get beaten a lot in the future!
.......
In the alley.
Chu Ruoyan was cornered by Ning Jinghuai and stammered, "Ning Jinghuai, how did you recognize me?"
Ning Jinghuai chuckled and said in a mean way, "Guess?"
Chu Ruoyan: “….”
He is so careless and deserves a beating.
Just as she was about to take action, she was caught by Ning Jinghuai who had been prepared for it.
"Yan'er, be gentler when you hit me next time. It still hurts here from last time!" Ning Jinghuai said, pressing Chu Ruoyan's hand on his chest.
Chu Ruoyan blushed and her ears turned red because of Ning Jinghuai's teasing.
Even though I call you a scoundrel, you still keep your word.
She coughed lightly and threatened in a low voice: "If you dare to move your hands again, I will beat you."
Ning Jinghuai chuckled softly and said rudely, "Beating is love, scolding is affection. I hope you can do more. Yan'er, just remember to be gentle."
Chu Ruoyan was so angry that she laughed at Ning Jinghuai's ruffian attitude.
She pushed Ning Jinghuai, who was blocking her way, away and said with a curled lip, "Okay, I'll be gentler." I can't kill you.
No wonder I was always beaten by others when I was a child. I was so rude.
Ning Jinghuai raised his eyebrows and put away his cynical look.
He slowly held Chu Ruoyan's hand and said seriously, "Yan'er, I was able to recognize you because of the smell on your body and the mole behind your ear."
It’s also my own fault for being stupid. I’ve met him several times but didn’t recognize him.
If it weren't for that unexpected encounter, and seeing the mole behind her ear, I might have called her a "gigolo".
Upon hearing this, Chu Ruoyan raised her hand and touched the mole behind her ear.
That's how it was exposed.
Ning Jinghuai stroked Chu Ruoyan's palm and asked in a whisper, "Yan'er, when we were children, you said...that you would protect me forever. Do you still mean that?"
Chu Ruoyan: “…”
Humph! I thought you had forgotten your promise to "marry me when you grow up"!
Seeing Chu Ruoyan didn't reply, Ning Jinghuai said to himself, "The promise we made as children must be kept."
He took out a jade pendant from his arms and placed it in Chu Ruoyan's hand, "Yan'er, this is my family's heirloom."
"You put it away."
Chu Ruoyan was completely stunned by Ning Jinghuai's actions.
Did you get my consent?
Chu Ruoyan clenched the jade pendant and stammered, "Ning Jinghuai, did I promise you?"
Ning Jinghuai chuckled, "Whether you agree or not, you are my wife."
"When the right opportunity comes, I'll have 'someone' arrange our marriage."
Chu Ruoyan's eyes widened in shock at Ning Jinghuai's words.
She took a step forward and covered Ning Jinghuai's mouth directly.
"Just shut up."
Ning Jinghuai took the opportunity to kiss Chu Ruoyan's hand, "Okay, I'll shut up."
Chu Ruoyan noticed Ning Jinghuai's little movement, her face flushed red, and she quickly took her hand away.
"You, you...just deserve a beating."
"Well, it's getting late. I want to go back." Chu Ruoyan said, turning around and about to leave.
If she hadn't noticed someone was following her, she wouldn't have gotten off the carriage!
Seeing this, Ning Jinghuai grabbed Chu Ruoyan's wrist.
"Yan'er, I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Chu Ruoyan: Why are you so clingy!
"Hurry up and tell me!"
Ning Jinghuai's eyes wandered, and he stammered, "Yan'er, I'm serious about what I say later. You must believe me."
This is my promise.
Chu Ruoyan chuckled, "Go ahead, I'll listen carefully."
Ning Jinghuai looked around warily, his ears red as he said, "Yan'er, I promise you that I will only marry you in this life and will never take a concubine."
Chu Ruoyan stared at Ning Jinghuai blankly for a long time without saying a word.
Ning Jinghuai pinched her cheek upon seeing this and said, "The men in our Ning family are the most respectful of male virtues. You can rest assured."
"If I were to have affairs with other women, my parents would probably break my legs..."
Chu Ruoyan's eyes were slightly red, and she whispered, "That's what you said."
"If you dare to do anything wrong, I will break your other leg."
Ning Jinghuai couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, "Okay, I'll take you back."
The night was alluring, and the two of them walked hand in hand towards the general's mansion.
The royal guards who were preparing to move valuables in the Tang Mansion were dumbfounded when they saw the worthless things in front of them.
Is the Prime Minister’s Mansion so poor?
Why is the warehouse empty?
Someone must have emptied the Prime Minister's Mansion in advance...
