Chapter 109 What did you do?
After the formalities, Ruan Qinghuan asked Xia Lian to take Zimo and Qingchi back to the prime minister's residence, while she was taken to the teahouse by Chu Li.
The two of them sat down, and Chu Li scolded, "Ruan Xiaoyue said that, why didn't sister-in-law teach her a lesson?"
"You're the one who stood up for me, aren't you? You've said everything I wanted to say."
Chu Li smiled when he heard this: "You know what, it feels good to argue, and it feels even better to win."
"What's the reason for this? In the capital, is there anyone you can't argue with?"
Chu Li's eyes flickered when he heard this, and after a while he muttered, "It was Ji Lingchuan who tricked me into going to the military camp to accompany him in training for a month using a warhorse. He...he even asked for an imperial decree."
Ruan Qinghuan was confused by what she heard. It was not surprising that Ji Lingchuan asked her to go to the military camp. After all, chasing after his wife was like chasing a crematorium, so he had to find a way to create opportunities.
Ever since Chu Li was seriously injured and unconscious for many days in Lucheng, Ji Lingchuan seemed like a different person.
Before, he instinctively wanted to run away when he saw Chu Li, but he didn't know that his feelings for Chu Li were not as resistant as he imagined. It was not until he almost lost her that he finally saw his true heart.
But it was really surprising that an imperial decree had to be requested for this matter.
Chu Li knew what she was thinking and explained, "His horse was untamed, so he proposed a bet. Whoever tames the warhorse first will win, and the loser..."
He sighed and said, "How would I know? The horse was a gift from the emperor, and he and the emperor had agreed on this bet in advance. To put it bluntly, the emperor was angry at my reckless behavior when I came back from Lucheng, and he was punishing me on purpose."
"I think this is fair. You chased him before, and now he chases you and you hide..." Ruan Qinghuan poured her tea and smiled as he got back to the point: "It's just a bet, you shouldn't have so many complaints."
Chu Li: “…”
But this month, she became Ji Lingchuan's follower, doing his orders. This made Chu Li, who had always longed for military life, develop resistance to the military camp for the first time.
As the two were talking, there was a commotion outside the window. Chu Li loved to join in the fun, so he ran to the window and looked for a while before his eyes widened: "Hey, isn't that Mr. Ruan?"
Qingzhou?
Ruan Qinghuan, who had not cared at all, came to the window immediately after hearing what was said. She indeed saw Qingzhou being chased by a woman. The woman knew kung fu, and Qingzhou could not get rid of her even after climbing walls and running on rooftops.
I only heard her chasing him and shouting, "Ruan Qingzhou, stop right there."
This scene made Chu Li's blood boil. This girl's kung fu is really good.

This was the most frustrating moment in Ruan Qingzhou's life. He had been running for nearly half an hour but still couldn't get rid of the person. He had no choice but to stop in an alley.
The girl stood facing him with anger in her eyes, and asked between her breaths: "Run again, why don't you run anymore?"
"Zi Ning, why are you chasing me?" Ruan Qingzhou looked helpless.
"I haven't heard from you since you left Jiangnan. I went to Zhou's mansion to ask many times, but they always gave me the false answer. It was only when I asked someone to find the official letter from Tongzhou that I found out that you had returned to the capital." The girl was angry, but also a little aggrieved: "Why didn't you tell me you left?"
Tell me, can he still leave?
Ruan Qingzhou said earnestly: "My home is in Beijing, so it is only natural for me to go home."
"What about me?"
"Just follow Master. By the way, have you told Master that you came to the capital?" Facing this little junior sister, Ruan Qingzhou had a headache. He thought he would be free after returning to the capital, but he didn't expect that she would follow him.
"Of course I can't tell my father, otherwise I won't be able to leave Jiangnan." Zi Ning's tone softened: "Brother, why do you have to go back to the capital? Isn't it better to stay in Jiangnan?"
"This is not a question of good or bad. This is my home, do you understand? Just like you like to stay in Jiangnan because your home is in Jiangnan!"
"No, for you, I can leave Jiangnan."
Ruan Qingzhou: “…”
When Ruan Qinghuan chased out, there was no trace of the two people. Chu Li joked, "Look at how fiercely this girl is chasing after someone. She looks like she won't stop until she catches him. Could it be that this is the romantic debt your brother owes her?"
Ruan Qinghuan: “…”
She couldn't explain it clearly. Qingzhou had lived in his grandfather's house in Jiangnan most of the time since he was a child, and learned skills from a master there.
Over the years, I have never heard him mention any girl, let alone say he has a crush on someone. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to the blind date arranged by his father.
But it is true that someone has come to find us, so we have to get things straightened out.

Ruan Qingzhou stopped at the gate of Ruan Mansion. At the same time, the carriage from the Prime Minister's Mansion arrived and Ruan Qinghuan got off the carriage.
Seeing his sister, Ruan Qingzhou seemed to have seen a savior. He walked over quickly without waiting for her to come closer and said, "Sister, I want to ask you for help with something?"
Ruan Qinghuan scrutinized: "What's going on?"
Ruan Qingzhou whispered a few words in her ear, his eyes full of pleading, and was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, Ruan Qinghuan grabbed her ear and said, "We're already at the doorstep, you should go back and explain things to your parents and grandmother."
Seeing that Ruan Qingzhou wanted to run again, Zi Ning prepared to chase him, but unexpectedly he was stopped by this woman.
Seeing that she looked about 50% similar to Ruan Qingzhou, he boldly guessed, "Excuse me, are you my senior brother's sister?"
Zi Ning didn't know that Ruan Qinghuan was the wife of Prime Minister, and since she came from a Jianghu background, she just bowed to greet her.
"Do you know me?" Ruan Qinghuan looked at the girl in front of him with a cold and elegant temperament. She had a sweet look with a sense of freedom and ease of a man of the world. She was wearing a light blue dress with a layer of multi-colored ribbons fluttering on the hem. She looked casual and lively, and her beautiful almond eyes were wary.
Zi Ning nodded: "I used to go to the Zhou Mansion often. It was the uncles and aunts of the Zhou family who told me about you. They said you were as beautiful as a fairy. I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw you today, you really were beautiful."
Ruan Qinghuan chuckled when she heard this. She had never thought that this girl had some connection with her grandfather's family. "Are you Qingzhou's junior apprentice sister?"
Zi Ning nodded: "My father is his master, my name is Xu Zi Ning, sister, you can just call me Zi Ning on weekdays."
"Okay, welcome Zi Ning to visit the capital. Let's not stand here anymore. Let's go inside and talk."
Seeing that Ruan Qinghuan didn't act like a master, Xu Zining dispelled his doubts and looked at Ruan Qingzhou: "Brother, I'll go in then."
Seeing her go in first, Ruan Qingzhou begged in a low voice: "Sister, you are my biological sister, you can't side with outsiders, please let me go, I will go back to your shop to live in the next few days."
"No, the shop is already open, and the rooms in the backyard are reserved for the employees."
"Then I'll stay at the inn."
"Ruan Qingzhou." Ruan Qinghuan's face turned cold: "The girl traveled all the way to the capital to find you, but you acted like a mouse meeting a cat. What on earth did you do to offend me?"
"No, I didn't do anything. Zi Ning is just too clingy and it annoys me."
"A guest is a guest, not to mention she is your master's daughter. What's the point of you being like this?" Ruan Qinghuan sighed, "At least you have to show your courtesy as a host."
It can be seen that Zi Ning likes Qing Zhou. Ruan Qing Huan has never thought of interfering in his brother's feelings, but he still has to observe the necessary etiquette. Running away like this makes him seem guilty.
