Chapter 50 Is the girl... already married? 】
Chen Fenghe: “…”
What are you responsible for? I didn't ask you to be responsible!
Chen Fenghe was speechless!
Jiang Shuo didn't wait for her to finish. He stared at her more seriously and said, "I was very disrespectful to you yesterday. I inhaled snake venom, and I accidentally hugged you at night. Moreover, we spent the whole night alone in a cave together... Don't worry, I am willing to marry you and will never let your reputation be damaged!"
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Chen Fenghe chuckled dryly and said, "Actually... you sucked the snake venom to save me, and hugging me was purely an accident. I really don't care. Can't we just pretend that nothing happened?"
No matter how handsome this man is, she is crazy. She has to marry him just because she spent a night in a cave where nothing happened?
Moreover, she has a special status. She is the Crown Princess who plotted rebellion against the Crown Prince and an exiled criminal. Anyone who has anything to do with her will probably suffer. Why would she want to harm him?
Jiang Shuo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Chen Fenghe to refuse.
"Is the girl... already married?" He couldn't help but ask, staring at Chen Fenghe without blinking.
Chen Fenghe didn't hide it, nodded, and said, "Yes. I'm already married. I'm very sorry if I made you misunderstand."
When Jiang Shuo heard this, his eyes were filled with surprise at first, and then turned dim.
He was a little embarrassed and a little disappointed and said: "I see... Then I was very rude last night, I hope Madam Shen..."
Chen Fenghe interrupted him and said, "I don't mind. I just hope that Brother Jiang can forget about what happened today. If we meet again in the future, just pretend we've never met before."
Jiang Shuo let out a bitter smile and said, "Of course, Madam Shen, please rest assured that I will forget everything that happened from yesterday to today."
He naturally knew how fatal these things were to a woman's reputation. If her husband knew...
Shen Fenghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the man did not pester me.
Afterwards, she was exiled all the way north, and those fleeing famine must have gone to the southeast, so there was almost no possibility of meeting.
Chen Fenghe handed Jiang Shuo half of the mushrooms and wild ginger she had picked and said, "Brother Jiang, although these are not worth much, consider them as my thank you for saving me. Please accept them."
Jiang Shuo hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted it.
He handed the two fish in his hand to Chen Fenghe and said, "Take these two fish back, otherwise, your husband will probably blame you!"
Imagine a man who actually asked his wife to go into the mountains alone to find food. I'm afraid he wouldn't treat her well. If he saw that she only brought back some wild ginger and wild mushrooms, he would definitely be furious...
Chen Fenghe was stunned for a moment, and quickly declined: "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jiang, I..."
Jiang Shuo said domineeringly, "Take it! Consider it... a thank you gift for eating your rabbit yesterday."
Seeing this, Chen Fenghe had no choice but to take one and said, "Then I'll take this one. Thank you, Brother Jiang."
After the two men divided the fish, they went down the mountain one after the other.
Chen Fenghe asked, "Do you know there's a dilapidated temple nearby?"
It rained all night last night, so the exile team might have spent the night there.
However, she fell from a landslide and now she can't figure out the way.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuo said, "Are you asking about the Mountain God Temple? It's on the other side of the mountain. We just stopped there three days ago. Is your husband...your family there?"
Shen Fenghe nodded and replied vaguely, "Yes."
Jiang Shuo said, "It's rained a lot these past two days, and many roads have been washed away. Let me give you a ride."
Chen Fenghe declined a few times, but seeing Jiang Shuo's insistence, she finally gave up.
The two of them walked halfway up the mountain, taking one step forward and one step back. Jiang Shuo stopped only when he could see the roof of the dilapidated temple.
"That roof is the mountain temple. Madam Shen will be there once she descends the mountain. I will send her there. Madam Shen, take care."
After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Shen Fenghe to say anything.
Chen Fenghe opened her mouth but said nothing. After watching his back disappear, she looked around to see that there was no one around and went straight into the space.
First, he took off his wet undershirt and changed into dry new clothes, leaving only his outer shirt in its original state. Then he came out and continued walking towards the mountain temple.
At this moment, in the mountain god temple, because of the heavy rain and the serious incident of robbery, the exile team was still delayed in the mountain god temple.
It turned out that Chen Wu had waited for a long time yesterday but the prisoners and officials who went into the mountains to collect the materials did not come back, so he had a bad feeling and immediately sent Yuan Xun to take a few good men to the mountain to check.
He was still careless! He thought that some people might be disguised as refugees to plot evil, but he didn't expect that they were actually lying in ambush in the mountains!
When Yuan Xun led his men up, they saw the officers, the prisoners, and a dozen masked bandits, their hands and feet bound, lying in a heap in the forest! One of the officers had even been shot dead by an arrow!
He quickly woke up one of the officers and asked what had happened.
When the officer saw who was coming, he quickly grabbed Yuan Xun's hand and cried, "Brother Yuan! There are... there are bandits robbing prisoners!"
As he spoke, he looked around and immediately pointed at the bandits and said, "These are the ones! They're going to rob Lai Hu!"
After hearing this, Yuan Xun asked, "Were you the ones who subdued these bandits?"
The officer was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head and said, "Brother Wang was shot dead by an arrow. Afterwards, we were all knocked unconscious and didn't know anything..."
Yuan Xun was stunned for a moment. Who subdued these robbers? Could they have tied themselves up?
At this time, another officer came over and reported anxiously in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, a prisoner has escaped..."
"Who?" Yuan Xun asked.
"Crown Princess Shen Fenghe!"
Yuan Xun turned his head and looked at the officer in surprise.
Throughout this journey, both he and Chen Wu, although they didn't mention it, felt in their hearts that the prince couldn't possibly be plotting treason and must have been framed. Therefore, they always sympathized with Shen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue.
Coupled with Shen Fenghe's performance, he had a very good impression of Shen Fenghe.
Moreover, when she followed them to catch wild boars before, Xiao Shitou was seriously injured. If she wanted to escape, her chance would be better at that time.
How come... you only ran away now?
"Brother Yuan, what should we do? It's okay for the others, we can just report them as having died suddenly, but she's a serious criminal, and we have to find her alive or dead! If she escapes, I'm afraid we'll all be beheaded!"
