Chapter 481: Cutting the Wind (5)
How come he doesn't know these things?
"Why haven't you told me this before?"
Huo Zhanfeng was shocked and suspicious.
"Oh, my Lord, everyone knows the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, how dare we say anything!"
But the brothers really felt sorry for Huo Zhanfeng.
"But Your Highness, I, too, have experienced many life and death situations. You, too, have been gone at any moment. We used to have women to warm our beds, but you, on the other hand, are either training or hunting. It's so hard to get back to the capital..."
The brother couldn't continue.
But everyone knew that these people had followed Huo Zhanfeng back to Beijing to report on their work.
It would have been fine if the Second Madam didn't come to Xichuan, but the Prince finally came back to Beijing and she gave him the cold shoulder.
They went to the Marquis' Mansion to find the Prince, but were met with the Second Lady's cold stare.
People think they are rude!
Even if they were polite!
"You idiot, what are you talking about! The prince is a noble man now, what's the big deal?" Another brother hit him.
“That’s right!”
San Lengzi seemed to have been holding it in for too long, and his tone was filled with anger. "The rules of the Marquis' Mansion are wrong to begin with. How can our prince be compared with other young masters? The other young masters are all in the capital, and their wives are all around them. Only the prince is like a widower in Xichuan..."
Sanlangzi still remembers that one day during the day off, everyone took a bath in the river together, and someone told a dirty joke.
They were all hot-blooded men, and they had ideas at that time. They wanted to go to the restaurant to have some fun.
Everyone knew that the prince had strict upbringing and he would not go to that kind of place, so no one dared to shout.
Sanlangzi lost his purse and went back to look for it, only to see the prince himself...
The discomfort in Sanlangzi's eyes almost burst out of his pupils.
He was feeling sorry for Huo Zhanfeng.
This reminded Huo Zhanfeng of the embarrassing scene at that time, and he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
At the same time, I feel the blood boiling in my body, making me feel restless and irritable.
In the past, he did have excessive blood and often had trouble getting relief. He usually took some medicine to reduce the heat, and only occasionally would the symptoms go away.
Ever since he came back from Northern Mongolia, he had lost interest in these things and had become much more pure-hearted. He had neither the energy nor the time to think about them.
Now that Sanlangzi mentioned it, why did I start to have wild thoughts again?
"Your Highness, please forgive my disrespect! Just marry Miss Cheng! She is much better than the Second Madam... the Second Princess!" Sanlengzi said without caring about anything.
Even if the prince beats him to death, he will still tell it!
Judging from Miss Cheng’s expression just now, she still has feelings for the prince!
"Your Highness, I also agree that Miss Cheng is the most suitable person for you." Another brother didn't care and spoke his mind.
"I also feel that..."
One by one they...
"Stop talking nonsense!" Huo Zhanfeng interrupted several people.
Seeing that he was not angry, the attendant beside him laughed and said, "My brothers have been at the mines all the time. They probably don't know that our prince has divorced Xu and currently has no princess."
"Ah? Really?"
"That's perfect!"
Several people were very happy.
Huo Zhanfeng was speechless. "Hurry back to the barracks! There's still a lot to deal with! That Liu Cheng was so audacious and reckless, he's done something truly evil! I have to deal with him quickly."
At this time, someone came to the military camp to report the news.
"Your Highness, the leader of Wa Village has brought people to launch a surprise attack!"
"Hurry up and leave!"
…
After Cheng Ruoying returned home, she waited for a long time and finally someone delivered a box of things.
However, the person who came was not Huo Zhanfeng, but just one of the attendants he brought with him.
The loss was evident in his eyes.
"Miss Cheng, this is a small gift from our prince, please accept it."
"Thank you very much."
Cheng Ruoying walked into the room holding the box.
At this moment, she was still a little excited, wondering what was in the box.
County Magistrate Cheng was puzzled as he watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but ask, "My dear brother, my daughter's marriage has already been decided, why is your prince still sending gifts?"
"My Lord, Miss Cheng has helped the Huo family in the capital. Whether she gets married or not, these are to be given to her. They are just some jewelry that can be used for personal use. You can keep them."
Only then did County Magistrate Cheng understand.
The jewelry is nice and can be used as my daughter's dowry in the future.
Although he is the governor of a city, all governors are different. In this barren frontier area of Xichuan, he is not even as good as a small official in the capital.
I was worried that my daughter didn’t have much dowry!
He was quite happy, but after Cheng Ruoying opened the box in the room, the warmth in her heart completely cooled down.
By the way, Aunt Tian said that he came to congratulate.
The jewels were all good quality ones, and each one could be exchanged for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. She had also been to the palace, so she naturally knew the value of the jewels.
This small box of jewels would be worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.
So generous.
Cheng Ruoying had a wry smile on her face.
She seemed to understand what he meant. If money could be used to get rid of him, there was no need to involve anything else.
That’s right, he is now a high and mighty prince, and she is just the daughter of a poor governor of Xichuan County.
The status is very different.
Cheng Ruoying felt a little tired, so she lay on the table with her head down.
Aunt Tian knocked on the door and brought a bowl of medicinal porridge.
Cheng Ruoying casually picked up a few pieces of jewelry and gave them to her.
"Oh, Miss, how can I be worthy of such a precious item?"
"How can you not be worthy? You've been taking care of our family since I was ten years old. Dad took you in as a concubine, but he didn't even buy you a few decent pieces of jewelry.
We lost our mother when we were young, and you have taken care of us like a mother for so many years. It's just a few pieces of jewelry, you deserve it."
Aunt Tian's eyes were a little wet. Knowing that she was a man of her word, she carefully took the glittering gold jewelry.
It would be more accurate to say that she was willing to serve the county magistrate rather than the two motherless children.
Unfortunately, the second young lady was not as open-minded as the eldest young lady. She never told her anything and only liked to read. She could not get involved in anything, which led her astray.
"By the way, Aunt Tian, you're pregnant, so don't do everything yourself from now on. If you don't have enough maids, I'll buy a few more."
"No, no, no, that's enough. Don't spend that money."
Aunt Tian has always been thrifty, and she waved her hand when she heard this.
Back then, when they first came to Xichuan, all their money was robbed. It was really thanks to Aunt Tian’s housekeeping skills.
After talking to her, Cheng Ruoying felt less depressed.
She suddenly felt unwilling.
Huo Zhanfeng doesn’t have a wife now, why can’t she give it a try!
Anyway, I don’t see him having anyone he likes!
Thinking of this, she stood up and left the house again, heading straight for the military camp.
At this time, County Magistrate Cheng was studying a portrait with a blank face.
This was the painting he found at the bottom of the cabinet in Cheng Ruoying's room two years ago after she left.
The eldest daughter had never learned any painting, so she didn't paint her face, probably because... she couldn't.
County Magistrate Cheng took a brush and drew a face and hair on the rough body.
Take a look after finishing the painting.
This is not right...
