Chapter 9 You Must Try It
"But... he'd better not have any bad intentions towards the General's Mansion. Otherwise, if I find out that someone dares to plot against me, I will definitely not let him off easily."
Zhang Tiancheng nodded and glanced back at the ancestral hall, feeling somewhat worried. "Miss, will those people from the second and third houses return the money? And what about the request to publish the family tree..."
At first, he thought that Bu Ruo coming to the ancestral hall to make trouble was just a childish act, but after interacting with her for these days, he vaguely discovered that his young lady seemed to have some real abilities.
Especially today, after Bu Bowen fell, the few petals that appeared under his feet were not the variety in the courtyard.
Bu Ruo glanced at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Steward, the ancestors have no objection."
Ancestors: We have opinions, but we dare not speak them out.
…
Prince's Mansion
"Your Highness, the second and third branches of the Bu family were driven out, and the second branch was even beaten by the newly returned young lady of the Bu family."
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Crown Prince Xiao Jingrui: "The young lady of the Bu family is really beyond my expectations. I thought she would let the Bu family succeed, but she turned out to be a tough nut to crack."
"Have those words been spread?"
The secret guard standing below trembled slightly: "I have asked people to spread it, but for some reason it has not spread."
"Not only that, now the young lady of the Bu family not only did not arouse public anger, but the people sided with her and beat up the Bu family members."
"Your Highness, I feel that... this young lady from the Bu family is not simple. There must be someone secretly helping her."
Xiao Jingrui finally raised his head from the secret report, displeasure visible in his narrow and sinister eyes.
"I didn't know there was someone in Kyoto who could evade my detection and do such a thing."
"Go check it out. I want to find out who has this ability."
"By the way, I heard that my good uncle has returned. Is there any news?"
The secret guard shook his head and said, "Your Highness, no, the Ninth Prince has hardly left the main gate of Prince Zhan's Mansion since returning from the villa."
Xiao Jingrui hummed and continued to read the secret report in his hand: "Keep sending people to keep an eye on him. Although my Ninth Uncle is only a few years older than me, he has extraordinary abilities and is also closely related to the Bu family."
"If it weren't for that...who knows who would be sitting on the throne now."
…
At noon the next day, Bu Ruo sat in the yard looking at the man in front of her, her eyes rolling around.
"Jin Congcong, I don't believe you."
The man almost cried when he heard this: "Ruo'er, seriously, my father really doesn't want me anymore. He asked me to come find you and asked you to raise me."
"Ruo'er, you know, my father has raised you as his own daughter since you were young. I'm like the one who was picked up."
"When we were little, you cut his favorite robe into a bag to hold fruit. He couldn't bear to say a word to you, so he beat me up."
"You teased the cats and dogs and got your hands scratched, and I got beaten!"
"If you climb up the roof and tear off the tiles, I'll get beaten!"
"If you don't practice seriously, I'll beat you up!"
"The worst part is, you caught a cold and I got the beating!"
"Now that you're gone, he just packed me up and threw me down..."
"Woo woo, Ruo'er, since I took so many beatings for you since I was a child, please take me in. I came here with sincerity."
Jin Congcong said this and directly spread the bag on the stone table and opened it: "Ruo'er, this is all my token of loyalty! Although I can't learn martial arts, I am smart."
"Look, my father's token, as well as the tokens used by various manors to collect money, are all here. This is my token of loyalty."
"Hey? Why is there a letter here? Who put it in there? How come I don't know about it?"
Bu Ruo glanced at him and took the letter. On it were written big words "Dearest letter from Ai Bu Ruo".
As expected, she said that her master was such a smart old man, how could he not know that this idiot had looted so many things from him.
After taking a quick look at the three lines, Bu Ruo smiled.
The general meaning of the letter was that his son had never experienced any setbacks since he was a child in the mountains and had grown up to be too... naive. Now he was thrown down and asked to let him experience the dangers of the world and give him a good lesson.
Knowing that his apprentice is the type who will not do anything without profit, he considered these things as her hard work fee.
Hard work fee? Bu Ruo's beautiful eyes lit up, and she waved her hand: "Bi'er, ask the housekeeper to arrange a yard for him. From today on, we are good brothers."
Jin Congcong breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Bu Ruo would not want him and would kick him out.
On the way here, he had heard about the General's Mansion. He was two years older than Bu Ruo and grew up together. After knowing her life experience, he felt extremely distressed and swore on the way that he would take good care of her after arriving.
Looking at Jin Congcong going out with Bier, Bu Ruo lowered her head to look at the letter in her hand again, and a warm feeling flowed through her heart.
The master's intention to train his son was fake. The real intention was that he was afraid that she would be lonely and wanted to send someone to accompany her.
However, by doing this, the master did save Jin Congcong's life. That guy was destined to have a great disaster. If he continued to stay in Wuming Mountain, he would die within three years.
I'm afraid even the master himself didn't realize this.
Forget it, he is the master's son after all. Even though he is a little stupid, he is still one of us. I'll stay and protect him.
Sure enough, Bu Ruo received the medicinal food from Jin Congcong in the afternoon.
"Ruo'er, are you in a bad mood? I made this myself in the kitchen. Try it."
Jin Congcong is seventeen years old this year. Although he is the son of the owner of Wuming Mountain, a leader in the martial arts world, he has never had any interest in martial arts or strange arts since he was a child. He has a special liking for cooking.
So be it, the mountain master has four outstanding disciples besides his son, so no one says anything.
But this guy just likes to study medicinal food...
You may say he has no talent, but sometimes his medicinal food can really save lives and even detoxify strange poisons, with unexpected effects.
But if you say he has talent... Haha, if you ask him to do it again, he will definitely not be able to do it at all. They even think that he might poison people to death.
But these so-called medicinal foods all have one characteristic, which is that they are unpalatable, super, particularly unpalatable!
Bu Ruo looked at the bowl of colorful porridge and the expectant look in someone's eyes, and swallowed hard: "Um... have you eaten it yourself? Or you should eat first."
Unexpectedly, Jin Congcong looked at Bu Ruo with pity in his eyes: "I have eaten, this is what I made for you."
"I heard from the people in the mansion that you've been getting irritated by other members of the Bu family lately. This is the heat-reducing porridge I made especially for you. It contains many precious medicinal herbs that I brought from the mountains. You must try it."
