Chapter 203: Traveling all night...it feels a bit like fleeing
In the space.
"Ruoruo is right. Those are our things. Why should we leave them to others?" Xiao Chengjin said as he began to look for the desk.
Jiang Ruo looked at the palace's wealth and various items with great joy, her face full of greed.
This is our family property and must be preserved.
A moment later, Xiao Chengjin came to Jiang Ruo with an exquisite rosewood box with phoenix pattern.
"Ruoruo, open it and take a look."
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly and reached out to take the rosewood box.
The moment Jiang Ruo opened the wooden box, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, this is... a top-grade blood jade bracelet."
Xiao Chengjin looked at her surprised expression, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
As long as Ruoruo likes it.
Ruoruo has everything he needs, so he feels embarrassed to give out such small items.
He took out the blood jade bracelet and gently put it on Jiang Ruo's wrist.
"It suits Ruo Ruo very well."
Jiang Ruo looked at the blood jade bracelet on her wrist and said shyly, "Isn't this too ostentatious?"
Go show it off to the old man when you have time.
Xiao Chengjin chuckled, "Not ostentatious at all."
I am a little jealous of this bracelet. I also want to stick to Ruoruo every day.
Jiang Ruo chuckled and put down his sleeves naturally, "Okay, let's go out!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin closed his eyes obediently.
With a flash of their bodies, the two appeared in the room.
The sun sets.
There were cheers and laughter from the crowd in the yard.
Jiang Ruo smiled and raised his glass, "Cheers to our ordinary yet beautiful life."
When Butler Lin and the others saw the blood jade bracelet on Jiang Ruo's wrist, they were stunned for a moment.
Is this the priceless blood jade bracelet?
It turned out that the late emperor had given it to Imperial Consort Xi.
When the late emperor was alive, the old woman in Ningkang Palace asked for it many times, both openly and secretly, but the late emperor refused to give it to her.
Haha, if she knew that the blood jade bracelet was in the master's hands, she would be so angry that she would vomit blood.
Xiao Chengjin glanced at everyone with pride, covered his lips and coughed softly, "Cheers!"
Steward Lin and the others smiled and quickly picked up their wine glasses, "Cheers."
Jiang Ruo turned his head to glance at Xiao Chengjin, who had a smile on his lips, and drank the wine in the glass.
Oh, it would be great if my aunt and the old man were here.
Next time I go back, I'll bring them back.
"Everyone, come and eat!"
BBQ and delicious food are created.
......
It was getting dark.
"Ruoruo, it's getting late, let's go back to our room and rest." Xiao Chengjin said as he took the wine glass from Jiang Ruo's hand.
I have to go out and "rob" tonight, so I have to coax Ruoruo to sleep first.
Jiang Ruo was a little tipsy at the moment. After she stood up, she pinched Xiao Chengjin's cheek.
"Okay, I won't drink anymore, housekeeper."
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo with a dazed look in her eyes, and quickly helped her walk towards the room.
Everyone looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
Although this courtyard is small, it is full of happiness.
After eating and drinking, they quietly cleaned up the scene.
The night deepens.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Jiang Ruo who was sleeping soundly in his arms and kissed her forehead lightly.
Ruoruo, have a good sleep, there will be a surprise tomorrow morning.
Xiao Chengjin got up from the bed and went to the side room to change into a nightgown.
He tiptoed out of the room, closed the door gently, and jumped out into the yard.
At this moment, An Er had already harnessed the carriage and was waiting outside.
The moment Xiao Chengjin appeared, he quickly took down the stool and said, "Master, please."
Xiao Chengjin got on the carriage and said, "Wait on the official road to Ningzhou."
"Yes, Master."
The master and servant rode in a carriage and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Mansion.
When Mr. Zhou was processing the house deed, he promised the man surnamed Zheng that he would move out of the Zhou Mansion within three days.
After returning home, the first thing he did was to dismiss the concubines.
Those concubines held the letter of release and ten taels of silver and cried for a long time.
In the end, they left Zhou's house crying after being scolded by Mr. Zhou.
The concubines said: They thought that they could benefit from the prodigal son's marriage to the Prime Minister.
This is great. No matter whether they are old concubines or young concubines, they are all abandoned.
At this moment, Mr. Zhou arranged for two strong men to load all the packed valuables into the carriage.
He hurried to Zhou Zexuan's yard and whispered as he entered, "Xuan'er, we're leaving."
Zhou Zexuan, terrified, ran off the bed, not even bothering to put on his shoes, and ran out pulling Zhou Yuanwai.
"Dad, let's get out of here quickly."
"Jiang Yunyao and Mrs. Zhou are here to take my life again." The hoarse voice was filled with fear.
Mr. Zhou stopped and slapped Zhou Zexuan a few times in frustration.
"Xuan'er, what are you yelling about?"
"Do you want everyone in the world to know that you killed the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Zhou Zexuan stood there with a dazed look on his face, not daring to shout anymore.
Madam Zhou came to the courtyard and lowered her voice, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we leave Jizhou."
"Xuan'er, go back to your room and put on your shoes. The carriage is waiting outside!"
"Okay, mother. Xuan'er will listen to you." Zhou Zexuan staggered back to the room.
A moment later, the family of three supported each other and walked towards the back door.
back door.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou looked at the huge mansion in the moonlight and burst into tears.
The thing I regret most in my life is asking my son to go to the government to inquire about the theft in the granary.
If he hadn't gone to the government office, he wouldn't have met Jiang Yunyao, and if he hadn't met Jiang Yunyao, he wouldn't have...
Alas, it’s too late to regret!
"Young master, please!" The strong man in the carriage behind took down the horse stool.
Zhou Zexuan didn't respond and quickly got on the carriage.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhou did not dare to waste any more time. After wiping away their tears, they helped each other into the carriage.
"Go to Ningzhou."
The strong man driving the car: “…”
Aren’t you going to the capital?
Why are you going in the opposite direction?
He pulled the reins of the horse and asked cautiously, "Sir, are you..." confused?
Mr. Zhou poked his head out and said, "Let's go to Ningzhou to visit relatives first, and then go to the capital."
"Okay, Master."
Two carriages drove towards Ningzhou in the silent night.
The two strong men said: Traveling all night...it feels a bit like fleeing.
It's really suspicious!
"Master, there is an official road ahead."
"Okay, I understand."
For some reason, Mr. Zhou suddenly felt inexplicably uneasy.
He took out the prepared dagger from his sleeve and held it tightly in his hand.
He told himself in his heart: Nothing will happen?
No one knew that they would leave Jizhou in the middle of the night?
No one knew that they had returned to Ningzhou!
