When they climbed ashore, both of them were soaked and looked miserable. Chu Chen was very polite. After getting ashore, he looked around without looking at Lu Yanluo, and said, "Sister-in-law, wait here for me. I'll find you some clothes." After that, he walked away.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a wealthy family in Tongzhou. He has to find the owner of the house immediately and find a clean piece of clothing for Lu Yanluo. Although the weather in June is already warm, if Lu Yanluo catches a cold in his hands, he will not be able to explain when he sees Chu Xuan.
Before Lu Yanluo could stop him, Chu Chen disappeared. Helplessly, she could only wait here for a while.
In less than a cup of tea, a little maid ran over quickly, holding a set of clothes in her hands. She looked very nervous and said tremblingly, "Princess, this... this is our young lady's clothes. It is clean. Please change into it, Princess."
Seeing this, Lu Yanluo smiled and nodded kindly to express her gratitude: "Thank you very much."
"No... no thanks. No, I dare not!" The little maid realized that she had said something wrong and quickly knelt down to apologize.
She was originally a maid of the Han family, a medicine merchant in Tongzhou. She had lived in Tongzhou City since she was a child and had never had the opportunity to meet someone of such noble status as the princess. For a moment, she was at a loss.
Lu Yanluo helped the man up, smiled, and said nothing more: "Please wait for me to find a place to change clothes. I will go to see your master later."
Upon hearing this, the little maid hurriedly led the way, found a clean room and invited Lu Yanluo in, then led Lu Yanluo to the main hall.
The situation in the main hall was not much better. Although the drug dealer Han Baicheng traveled far and wide to do business, he was really uneasy about the sudden appearance of a prince in his home.
Chu Chen didn't want to explain anything to him. He sat quietly in the chair at the top and drank tea. When he saw Lu Yanluo came out after changing her clothes, he put down the cup and stood up.
"Sister-in-law."
Lu Yanluo nodded, then turned to look at the frightened Han Baicheng and politely said, "Master Han, we are really helpless today. We are sorry to bother you. Please don't mind. We will leave now."
"This..." Han Baicheng wanted to keep them, but was a little timid. In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent the two gods out the door.
"If you two nobles need my help in Tongzhou, please send someone to find me. I will do my best."
Lu Yanluo nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the government office.
Behind him, the maid who hadn't recovered from her shock came and murmured, "Just...just left like that?"
Han Baicheng looked at the direction where Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen left, pondered for a moment, and turned back home.
"Close the door, and tell anyone who comes to look for me that I'm not here, I've gone out."
The little maid was confused. Didn’t she just ask the man to come and ask for help with something? Why did she want to go out again now?
Why? Han Baicheng walked into the mansion, wondering, this man claimed to be Su Wang Chu Chen, and even took out a golden seal to prove his identity.
If this person's identity is true, then it will be a big deal. Who in Qingtong States doesn't know what Chu Chen is doing here?
Prince Su Chu Chen and Princess Ye came to settle accounts with Qingzhou and Tongzhou. Qingzhou prefect Xie Tianzhang had been persuaded by the two, and by now Qingzhou's grain might have almost reached Tianque Pass.
That's why Chu Chen and Lu Yanluo appeared in Tongzhou.
Early this morning, the gates of Tongzhou were closed, presumably to prevent the two men from entering the city. If the prefect Wang Jiyang knew that the two men entered Tongzhou from the Han Mansion, then the Han Mansion would be finished.
Just as Han Baicheng was planning how to escape this disaster, Lu Yanluo and Chu Chen stood in front of the Tongzhou government office.
Perhaps they thought that the two of them would never be able to enter the city, so the guards at the gate of the yamen were lax and the gate was wide open. Chu Chen took a few steps forward, walked up to the gatekeeper, and said, "Go and call your lord Wang Jiyang out, tell him that Prince Su and Princess Ye have arrived, and ask him to come out quickly to greet them!"
The officer was stunned by what Chu Chen said. He looked at Chu Chen doubtfully. Instead of going in to report, he asked, "Are you the prince? Is that true?"
Chu Chen: “…”
Lu Yanluo smiled and walked a few steps closer with a kind face: "Sir, he is talking nonsense. We are friends of Lord Wang. We just passed by here and came to visit him. Please go in and inform him."
Compared with Chu Chen, the beautiful woman Lu Yanluo was obviously more popular with the official. He just snorted, turned around and went into the house to deliver the message.
Chu Chen was so angry that he pointed at the door and was speechless: "Who... who is this person!"
Lu Yanluo was helpless and nodded at Chu Chen: "You are too impulsive. If Wang Jiyang knew who we are, are you sure we can walk into the gate of this government office?"
Chu Chen was speechless, snorted coldly and curled his lips.
It’s because the officer thought Lu Yanluo was pretty!
The officer had been in there for a long time but hadn't come back yet. Chu Chen was getting impatient and frowned: "Is Wang Jiyang, this coward, afraid to come out? I'll go in and take a look."
Lu Yanluo raised her hand to stop him, but Chu Chen dodged it. The officer at the door saw Chu Chen's aggressive look and suddenly changed his expression. He tightened his knife and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Chu Chen got angry and no one could stop him. Just as both sides were about to fight, a figure finally appeared at the gate of the yamen.
"Stop!" The man was dressed in a navy blue suit, with his hair neatly tied behind his head with a hairpin. He was dressed like a man, but Lu Yanluo could tell at a glance that this person was actually a woman and not a man.
The person who came was Wang Yueniang. She walked a few steps to Chu Chen, looked him up and down without any courtesy, then smiled and asked, "Are you my brother's old friend? You came at an inopportune time. My brother is busy and can't come to see you. You can tell me what's going on."
Chu Chen tilted his head slightly and looked at Lu Yanluo, his eyes full of confusion. Who is this person?
Seeing this, Lu Yanluo stepped past Chu Chen and stood in front of Wang Yueniang, nodding slightly: "I heard before that Lord Wang has a sister named Yueniang, so I guess she is the girl, right?"
Wang Yueniang felt uncomfortable as her identity as a girl was exposed. She coughed to cover up and asked, "How did you know I'm a girl?"
After leaving Wang Jiyang's place, Wang Yue Niang was unwilling to let her life be arranged by others at will, so she was about to go out angrily. Unexpectedly, she ran into the official who was going to find Wang Jiyang to report the news. Hearing that it was Wang Jiyang's old friend, Wang Yue Niang became suspicious and immediately rushed over to see who this so-called old friend was.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she went out, a handsome man with extraordinary demeanor came into her sight. Wang Yue Niang secretly looked at Chu Chen, her heart beating fast.
This kind of man is her ideal husband. He has an extraordinary demeanor just by looking at his appearance. If she wants to marry, she must marry him!
