That girl is so cool!
Her face was somewhat youthful, but her figure was extremely tall. Her honey-colored skin was quite unique, and she possessed a sunny and vibrant beauty, a stark contrast to the delicate young ladies who were raised in seclusion.
"Are you the young lady from the Murong family?" Chu Huanzhao went over to greet her curiously. Seeing the gun that was broken in two at her waist, he wondered when he could have a match with her to see if her marksmanship was better or his whip skills were more impressive.
"Hello, Second Sister!" Murong Qinghe called out subconsciously, but her cheeks quickly flushed, and she immediately corrected herself, "Hello, Miss Chu, I am Murong Qinghe."
She wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground. She and Brother Chu weren't even officially dating yet, so how could he be calling her Second Sister?
She just hadn't expected Madam Chu to come, which made her feel completely unprepared and apprehensive, like she was suddenly meeting the parents.
At this moment, Qin Wanru also noticed Murong Qinghe and walked over: "This must be little Qinghe. You Zhao often mentioned you in her letters. You are really handsome."
She was very satisfied with this first meeting; Youzhao really had good taste.
The only worry is that Youzhao is not a boy; what will happen when he gets married?
"Greetings, Madam Chu." Murong Qinghe was usually quite bold in the military camp, but when he met his future mother-in-law, he couldn't help but feel shy, afraid of leaving a bad impression on her.
"Since it's our first meeting, I didn't prepare any gift. Here, take this bracelet. It's been with me for many years, and it should be passed down from generation to generation." Qin Wanru said as she took off the blue jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to her.
"This is too precious, I dare not accept it." Murong Qinghe blushed and waved her hand. The preciousness was secondary; the main thing was the meaning it contained. It seemed to be something only the matriarch of the Chu family would wear, clearly meant to be passed down to her daughter-in-law. Although she and Brother Chu were now mutually in love, but…
"Keep it. What's so valuable about it? This jade bracelet is just an inanimate object. It's nothing compared to you, a living person." Qin Wanru put the bracelet on her wrist without further ado.
Murong Qinghe couldn't refuse, so he said, "Then thank you very much, Madam."
Her little face was flushed; did this mean the Chu family approved of their relationship?
Brother Chu used to say that his mother had a bad temper, but now she seems to be quite nice.
Thinking of how the Murong family had fallen on hard times and how she had become a wanted fugitive, yet the other party didn't seem to mind at all and even passed the bracelet representing her daughter-in-law to her, her eyes reddened, and she was so moved that she wanted to cry.
Brother Chu took a huge risk to take her in, and Madam Chu did not look down on her current status at all. There was also Brother Zu, who even killed the Prince of Jin for her sake.
In that instant, she made up her mind that no matter what the future held, she would marry into the Chu family and never leave her brother Chu.
“Everyone’s here, let’s go to the prison together,” Jiang Luofu said.
Hearing where they were going, Murong Qinghe pursed her lips: "I...I also want to go see Father and Grandfather."
At this time, the Murong family was also imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison. No one knew how they were doing or whether they were suffering.
Jiang Luofu hesitated, "Your current public identity is still that of a wanted criminal by the imperial court. If you go directly to the imperial prison..."
Murong Qinghe's expression darkened, realizing that he most likely wouldn't be able to go. Not only would he be in danger, but he would also implicate them.
At this moment, Zu'an's voice rang out: "It's alright, we can just disguise ourselves a little."
He then took out a mask as thin as a cicada's wing and handed it to her: "Put this on, change your clothes, and pretend to be one of our servants. No one will recognize you."
Murong Qinghe was both surprised and delighted: "Thank you, Brother Zu!"
Brother Chu's brother-in-law is so nice. If I hadn't met Brother Chu first, I might have liked him too...
Bah! Murong Qinghe, don't you know any shame? That's Brother Chu's brother-in-law! How could you have such thoughts?
She went back to her room, disguised herself for a while, and soon came out, transforming from a spirited and beautiful young woman into an ordinary passerby.
Jiang Luofu couldn't help but exclaim, "Auntie, your mask is truly magical. If you use it to steal perfume and jade, I doubt anyone will know it was you afterwards."
Qin Wanru and Chu Huanzhao, the two sisters, immediately perked up their ears. Could it be that he really used this mask to do bad things?
Zuan was speechless: "I got this by chance before. I kept it because I found it useful for traveling around. It's not as dirty as you think."
Jiang Luofu smiled and said, "It's just a professional habit. I've been investigating a case of a lecherous thief these days, so I just said it out of the blue. Don't mind it."
"Do you need any help? Those lecherous thieves are skilled with drugs, so you should be careful," Zu'an hurriedly reminded him. He had just witnessed the power of Forget-Me-Not Rosemary a few days ago and was still a little scared.
Jiang Luofu twirled the pencil in her hand, her face cold and arrogant: "Don't worry, I am, after all, a disciple of the teacher, the eighth master of the back mountain of the academy. If I can't even handle a little lecher, I might as well give up my profession."
