Chapter 710: Knowing a Lot

The guards were already panicking. This place was still some distance away from the Duke's Mansion, and they didn't dare to carry the Duke back on their backs. They had already sent someone back to the Duke's Mansion, but seeing that the Duke was not in a good condition, they became panicked.

The guard calmed himself down and said, "Thank you, we do need a carriage."

At least the Duke can lie flat in the carriage, and as long as he is safe, he can return to the Duke's Mansion quickly.

Chang Lian and Rong Chuan stepped aside, "Please."

The guards didn't have time to be polite. They carefully picked up the Duke and put him on the carriage, saying to the driver, "Let's go."

As for the two people who helped, he didn't need to ask too much, because he was familiar with the official uniforms of the Hanlin Academy.

Chang Lian waited until the carriage had left before he said, "I hope the old man is safe."

He just took a look and saw that the old man had his eyes tightly closed. The situation was really not very good.

Rongchuan was a little absent-minded. The old man just now looked a bit like him. He thought to himself, it's a good thing that he met him when he came back from picking up the jewelry today.

Chang Lian didn't hear Rong Chuan's reply, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Rong Chuan's eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

Rong Chuan came back to his senses, "I'm not thinking about anything. Our family is waiting for us to have dinner. Let's go back quickly."

Chang Lian is not someone who can be fooled easily. After taking two steps, he realized something was wrong. The old man just now seemed a bit like Rongchuan. It's not that he is sensitive. The mystery of Rongchuan's life experience has never been solved. Rongchuan looks a bit like Master Ning. Based on this inference, the old man just now must be the Duke!

Chang Lian thought of some things he had overlooked, and he felt like he knew too much.

At Zhou's house, Zhulan waited for Rongchuan and Changlian to change their clothes before asking, "Why did you come back so late today? You are almost an hour later than usual."

Rong Chuan blushed, embarrassed to say that he had decided to give the jewelry to Xue Han, and lowered his head, "I had something to do and went out to the street."

Chang Lian thought to himself that he had the courage to order the jewelry, but he didn't have the courage to speak out and expose Rong Chuan. "We encountered an emergency when we came back. We walked back, so we were a little late."

Zhou Shuren spoke up after hearing this, "What happened?"

He hasn't left Beijing yet!

Chang Lian explained what he had done and concluded, "I think the old man is the Duke of Ning."

Zhou Shuren knew what Chang Lian relied on for his guess, and he sighed in his heart that the capital city was really small. He was also glad that the Duke was in a coma. He had heard from his wife that Rong Chuan did not look like the Empress or his parents. A few days ago, Lord Ning came to the mansion and mentioned the deceased eldest son of the Ning family from time to time. He had an idea in his heart. Today, his wife just confirmed his guess.

Considering the reactions of Lord Ning and Lord Ning, Rong Chuan looks like the deceased Lord Ning, and maybe very similar. If Lord Guo woke up today and saw Rong Chuan, he would be shocked!

Chang Lian's heart was racing when he saw his father remained silent. He felt that his father must know something. Now that his father was silent, he knew something. Chang Lian was a little dazed. So Rong Chuan was really the child of the Duke's Mansion?

Then I became confused again. If he was the Duke's child, why didn't they acknowledge him? Was it because they couldn't find evidence to prove it, or was it something else?

Zhu Lan saw Rong Chuan frowning and patted Zhou Shu Ren on the shoulder, "Okay, the food is getting cold, let's eat quickly."

Zhou Shuren stood up. He didn't care. He just wanted to let things develop as they would. He didn't want to bother thinking about it anymore. "Let's go and have dinner."

After dinner, Chang Lian stayed behind, wanting to talk but hesitant. Zhou Shuren pretended not to notice and waved his hand to stop him, "Hurry up and leave. Don't disturb me and your mother from resting. We have to hurry back to Jinzhou tomorrow."

Chang Lian looked outside and saw that it was not yet dark. His father's excuses were becoming less and less sincere, but he was happy in his heart. This was a sign of his father's closeness to him. As a son, he did not need to find a perfect excuse. "Dad, you and mom should have a good rest."

Zhou Shuren was happy, "Let's go."

In the garden, Xue Han took the hairpin given to her by Rong Chuan. Seeing that Rong Chuan's brows were wrinkled, she handed the hairpin to Shui Pozi and asked her to return it. Then she reached out and grabbed both sides of Rong Chuan's eyebrows and pulled them outwards with force.

Rong Chuan hissed, "It hurts, it hurts."

Xue Han looked at the smooth brows and then let go of her hand with satisfaction, "Don't frown."

Rongchuan was particularly bold today and held Xuehan's hand, "I know you are smart, you must have guessed something, I..."

Xue Han covered Rong Chuan's mouth with the hand that was not held by Rong Chuan, "Why think too much about something you can't control? Moreover, you didn't take the initiative to seek the truth at the beginning, so you shouldn't suffer anymore today. Haven't you already made up your mind to let nature take its course?"

Rongchuan's lips touched Xuehan's hand. It was the first time they had been so intimate in all these years. Xuehan's palm was burning hot, as if it had burned his heart. His ears and hands also became hot.

Xue Han felt it and hurriedly let go of her hand, then pulled the other hand out of Rongchuan's hand and ran away quickly. She was so embarrassed, why did she reach out her hand in such a hot-headed way!

This hand has thoughts of its own, and they are definitely not her thoughts.

Rongchuan looked at Xue Han who was running away and laughed softly. The worries in his heart were long gone. He thought that instead of worrying about his own life experience, he should focus more on how to marry Xue Han as soon as possible.

Chang Lian came out from his hiding place and patted Rong Chuan on the shoulder. "Look at you, you want to get married. It's a pity that your parents want to keep you for two more years."

Rong Chuan was startled, and then he felt his scalp was smoking. "How long have you been hiding?"

"Ah, since you held my sister's hand, this is you. I tolerated it, but you should also be more careful. Fortunately, my sister will return to Jinzhou tomorrow."

Rong Chuan had a dark face. Zhou Changlian held back his actions, but he was not polite with his words. He was trying to hurt Rong Chuan even though he knew that he was reluctant to let Xue Han leave!

In the courtyard of the third room, Mrs. Dong was walking on the ground holding her daughter's hand. Seeing her husband coming back, she asked, "Didn't you go to see dad for something? Why did you come back so soon?"

Chang Lian spread his hands and said, "Dad told me to come back, so I came back."

Mrs. Dong chuckled, "Look at you, it seems like you have come to terms with it?"

Chang Lian raised his eyebrows. Dong married into the Zhou family a long time ago, and they grew up together. He knew that Dong understood him, but he didn't expect that Dong guessed a little bit without him saying anything. "Well, I've come to terms with it. When I came back, I heard what my sister and Rongchuan were talking about, and I came to terms with it."

Mrs. Dong doesn't worry about things that she can't worry about. With her mother-in-law at home, she only needs to take care of the third room. "Mother will go back to Jinzhou tomorrow."

Chang Lian carried the fat lady up and said, "Mom, go back. You have to attend the banquet by yourself."

Dong narrowed her eyes and said, "I'm ready now."

These days, her mother took her to participate once, and then went to the Wang Mansion. Later, she went there once by herself. She already had a rough idea in her mind.

Chang Lian curled his lips and said, "I knew my wife would be fine."

Mrs. Dong was delighted when she heard this, and she hummed, "If you give me more surprises, I will become even more powerful."

Chang Lian, "......."

Therefore, it would be better for Mom and Dad to return to Jinzhou as soon as possible. Without Mom and Dad above them and Rong Chuanxian's attentiveness below them, he and his wallet would have an easier life!
