Chapter 086 How to get married in the future
"Everyone step back and let him go." Ruan Qingzhou shouted anxiously.
"No, he is holding the Prime Minister's cousin hostage. We can't let him go. We have to kill him to save her." Liu Yueru's face looked like a ghost, with blue and purple patches, and her nose was even a little crooked.
These were all given by Qu Yuancheng. If he hadn't died, she might have been the one to die.
"Let's see who dares?" Lu Qingzhou shouted loudly, and Qu Yuancheng regained consciousness and lightened his grip. He knew that this woman was his last chance to escape, so she couldn't die.
The officers of Jingzhao Prefecture recognized Ruan Qingzhou, the prime minister's brother-in-law. He was mistakenly arrested as an adulterer and brought to Jingzhao Prefecture that day. The prefect went through a lot of trouble to send the giant Buddha away.
After he spoke, no one dared to act rashly.
Wei Mingxi was already crying her eyes out: "Ruan Qingzhou, save me, I don't want to die, I'm not married yet, I'm not a mother yet, um... um... help me."
Ruan Qingzhou closed his eyes.
It is not difficult to subdue Qu Yuancheng, but the difficult part is that he has a knife in his hand. If he makes a slight mistake and cuts Wei Mingxi's neck, even if a great immortal comes, he will be unable to return the knife.
The rain was getting heavier at this moment. Qu Yuancheng moved out of the alley little by little. When he retreated to a patch of bamboo poles, Ruan Qingzhou used his inner strength to quietly push a bamboo pole forward a little, just blocking Qu Yuancheng, forcing him to move the bamboo pole away.
While he was pulling the bamboo pole, Ruan Qingzhou threw a stone he had prepared in advance, which hit Qu Yuancheng's wrist holding the knife. At the same time the short knife fell to the ground, Wei Mingxi felt his neck loosen and he was pulled to Ruan Qingzhou's side.
Ruan Qingzhou protected the man behind him and exerted force with his hands. Qu Yuancheng knelt on the ground in pain, and his arm hung down as if it had no bones. It was unclear whether it was broken or dislocated.
When the officers saw that the hostages had escaped, they rushed forward and captured Qu Yuancheng and Liu Yueru together.
A man who looked like the chief of the police came over and was about to thank Ruan Qingzhou, but was pushed aside. When he looked up, he saw the woman who had just been held tightly around Ruan Qingzhou's neck, crying loudly.
Ruan Qingzhou had not expected this to happen, and quickly raised his hands to explain: "You saw it, it wasn't me who took the initiative to hold her."
The chief officer coughed uncomfortably upon hearing this, and said with a bow, "Thank you, Master Ruan, for your help. Bye."
Who dares to speak nonsense about the Prime Minister's family affairs?
So he can't get this certificate.
Seeing that everyone had left, Ruan Qingzhou said anxiously, "Hey, hey, hey... Don't I have to go back with you to question you... Hey, I'm a witness... And have you forgotten about the victim?"
"We will go to the Prime Minister's residence to inquire about Miss Wei's testimony."
Ruan Qingzhou: “…”
**
In the shop, Wei Mingxi was still sobbing. Unlike her previous crying, this time she was truly so scared of escaping death. All she could think of was the image of Ruan Qingzhou rushing over to save her without hesitation.
Even she herself was not aware of the subtle changes that had taken place in her heart.
Ruan Qingzhou took out his own long gown and said, "There's nothing else here, so you can change into it first."
After saying that, he couldn't help but yawn, and looked down at his soaking wet self. Who did he offend to become such a mess?
I just hope that after today, this young lady will let him go.
"Are...are you okay?" Wei Mingxi was a little worried.
"As long as you don't bother me again, I'll be fine." After saying that, he turned and went to the side room.
Wei Mingxi was not much better off, he was soaked from head to toe, and because of the accident just now, a few strands of scattered hair were stuck to his face, making him look very messy.
As he was changing his clothes, there was a hurried knock on the door. Ruan Qingzhou also heard it. He frowned in annoyance. He was restless even on a rainy day. Could it be that the police came to question him?
I opened the gate with an umbrella, and at the door were Mr. He and his wife and Wei Mingxi's maid.
The maid's eyes were red from crying, and it was obvious that she was really anxious: "Why did Master Ruan open the door just now? It really made me anxious to death."
She bought the umbrella and came back but didn't see the young lady, so she had to come here to look for her. However, no matter how she knocked, there was no response. So she had to go back to the prime minister's residence to find the master and the lady.
"There was an accident just now, and there is no one in the yard."
Then he took two steps away and said, "It's raining. Uncle and aunt, please come in and talk."
Meng Suqiu: "My dear nephew, is Mingxi here?"
When asking this question, Meng Suqiu was somewhat unsure. Mingxi had caused a lot of trouble during her visit to Beijing this time, and she was inevitably exhausted. She wanted to send her home as soon as possible, but she didn't expect something to happen again today.
Just say that I was in the same room with a man twice. What would happen if this got out?
Ruan Qingzhou led them to the room where Wei Mingxi was. "She is changing her clothes. Madam, please go in by yourself."
Meng Suqiu and He Qizhang said almost in unison: "Change clothes?"
"No, we were all caught in the rain just now, so..." Before Ruan Qingzhou could finish his words, Meng Suqiu was so angry that she pushed open the door and went in. Seeing this, the maid followed closely behind her.
He Qi Zhang had a complicated look on his face, and followed Ruan Qingzhou to the side room: "What on earth happened just now?"
Ruan Qingzhou had no choice but to tell him the whole story. He Qizhang frowned and said angrily, "How dare you commit a crime in broad daylight?"
Fortunately, no one was hurt. "We are very sorry for this today, nephew. Mingxi has been spoiled since she was young. Please bear with her for any inconveniences. When the weather clears up, we will send her home."
"Uncle, it's not serious. We are all relatives. There's no need to talk about this."

The rain continued until the evening. Ruan Qinghuan and He'an returned to the prime minister's residence. When they passed the flower hall, they saw their mother, who was sitting at the top seat, had an unhappy look on her face. Wei Mingxi, who they hadn't seen for a long time, had tears in her eyes and looked aggrieved.
"I'm not leaving anyway. Aunt, you love me the most. If I go back like this, my mother will probably not let me come again in the future." Wei Mingxi felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke. He simply lay down on the couch and buried his head in his arms.
"Mingxi, you are not a child anymore. You should think about the consequences of your actions. You are a girl, and you stayed in the guesthouse for a whole month just to find Qingzhou. What would people say if it got out?"
“I was…”
"What do you mean?" Meng Suqiu interrupted her, "Aunt has said this many times, the last time I threw you into the vat was to save you, and this is the end of it, you are not allowed to mention it again, understand?"
"Don't mention it, I'm not leaving anyway."
Meng Suqiu sighed. She really loved her niece. Although she was angry, she still advised earnestly: "Mingxi, your cousin is married. You have spent a lot of time together since you were young. You should know his character well. He has no affection for you. Even if you live in his house for the rest of your life, it will only cause you trouble."
"Who said I stayed for my cousin?"
Meng Suqiu glanced at He Qizhang, who also looked bewildered: "If you really have figured it out, why don't you go home?"
"I..." Wei Mingxi bit her lip but didn't dare to say it out loud.
Meng Suqiu thought she was just covering up: "Okay, auntie understands your feelings, and it doesn't mean I don't love you anymore. Just be obedient, and when you meet someone you like in the future, you will naturally get over it."
"If it weren't for my cousin, I would never meet someone I like again." Wei Mingxi stood up angrily, tears of grievance falling.
Meng Suqiu lost her patience: "Kid, how old are you and you already know about the future?"
"I...I..." Wei Mingxi stamped her feet anxiously and said, "Ruan Qingzhou kissed me, how can I get married in the future?"
