Traveling through ancient times.

After Ning Jianren hurried to Zezhou, he found out that Lord Jia had indeed been officially transferred to Kyoto and would arrive there in three days at the latest.

I was glad that I arrived in time.

So he used the connections he had previously made in the Jia Mansion to contact Miss Jia.

Jia Rouyi looked much thinner and more haggard than she was three months ago, but her pretty face was still visible.

When she saw Ning Jianren, she knew that he must have received her letter and rushed over, and she suddenly felt like she had found her backbone.

Ning Jianren took Jia Rouyi into his arms, gently wiped away the tears on her fair cheeks with his fingertips, and said in a choked voice: "Rou Rou, it's all my fault. I made you suffer. I am sorry for you. If I had been more resolute at the time, I would not have..."

Jia Rouyi placed her slender jade fingers on the other person's lips, "Don't say it, I... did it voluntarily."

Ning Jianren couldn't help but hold her tighter in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Me too, when I see you, I can't help myself. Ah Rou, you don't know how much I miss you."

Jia Rouyi felt like she was about to turn into a puddle of water under the other person's tenderness, and she suddenly thought of something.

I subconsciously wanted to ask, but it seemed... too difficult to say.

So she moved her delicate body uncomfortably in Ning Jianren's arms, and even rubbed that place with her elbow intentionally.

what……

She was stunned for a moment, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, and the heart that had been hanging in the air for the past few days was suddenly relieved. At the same time, her face couldn't help but flush.

"Arou, I...I think..." Ning Jianren placed delicate kisses on Jia Rouyi's forehead, eyes, and neck. His breathing gradually became heavier, and he spoke hoarsely in her ear.

Jia Rouyi quickly pushed the other person away, “Well, no, I, I…” She put one hand on her lower abdomen.

Ning Jianren seemed to have finally come to his senses, and he quickly apologized, panting: "I'm sorry, Arou, I was too impatient. I will love you twice as much in the future..."

After some tender and sweet talk, they decided to get down to business.

Jia Rouyi said: "... Dad's family in Kyoto has always been headed by my stepmother. Dad was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't plan to take my mother over. He said he would leave the house and shop here to my mother. He wanted me to go back with him, but I heard that my stepmother is the most jealous. The daughters of several concubines were married to those playboys as concubines, or suffered for peddlers. I'm sure it won't be good for me if I go..."

Jia Rouyi burst into tears again as she spoke, this is the sorrow of being a concubine's daughter.

Ning Jianren quickly assured that he would take care of them and would never let them suffer any injustice.

Ning Jianren swore that Jia Rouyi was his true love.

As long as they get married, he can stay here with a clear conscience to take care of her and the baby in her belly, and he will be filial to her mother like his own biological mother.

This point touched Jia Rouyi's heart.

What Jia Rouyi is worried about now is that since she and Ning Jianren separated last time, her father has never mentioned recruiting Ning Jianren as his son-in-law, let alone promoting him to be the Langzhong of the Ministry of Works of Zezhou. It seems that he wants to arrange for the nephew of another Beijing official to take this position.

She also vaguely heard that it was because of Ning Jianren's current wife, who was very strong and jealous, and most importantly, looked like a she-demon.

How could such a woman be worthy of the handsome and elegant Mr. Ning?

Although it was a little unfair for her to marry Ning Langjun as his wife, she had to make a decision now. As long as the wedding was completed and Ning Langjun stayed in Zezhou and became a doctor in the Ministry of Works, she could divorce that country woman. If she dared to pester him again, then...

Therefore, in Jia Rouyi's view, Jiang Yizhou, who stood between them, was not a big deal at all.

The most important thing right now is how to convince her father to agree to her marriage with Ning Langjun. As long as the marriage is done, she doesn't believe that her father would rather promote an outsider than his own son-in-law? !

The two discussed it and then went their separate ways.

With Ning Jianren's assurance, Jia Rouyi became more determined in her choice.

But she had begged her father many times, but was always rejected.

So, she decided to talk to her mother.

I believe that my mother will help her persuade my father for the sake of the baby in her belly and that Ning Langjun will take care of them.

…Ning Jianren sent Jia Rouyi away, and his eyes, full of tenderness, suddenly became gloomy.

He felt that if he just let Jia Rouyi go, things would still be a little uncertain, and he had to give Jia Yuzhen a drastic measure.

What kind of handle can make him afraid?

He thought about it for a long time, and for a moment, it seemed that apart from the fact that he got the girl pregnant, he couldn't find any other flaws.

Including the previous carbon stone business, he established connections through him and everything was done flawlessly.

Ning Jianren waited anxiously for a whole day but received no news from Miss Jia.

I waited another day, still nothing.

Instead, news came from the Jia Mansion that Lord Jia had packed his luggage and would return to Beijing tomorrow under the escort of a convoy.

Ning Jianren sighed deeply, it seemed that he could no longer rely on Miss Jia.

There was only one day left, so he mustered up his courage and planned to meet Jia Yuzhen in person and be frank with her.

The reason why he dared to go there at this moment was that he was somewhat confident. After all, Jia Yuzhen had said more than once that she admired him very much.

Even if the Jiang family's problem has not been solved for the time being, if Jia Yuzhen intervenes, wouldn't it be just a matter of waving a finger?

However, when he met Jia Yuzhen, the other party directly ordered the servants to beat him up.

Ning Jianren was almost frightened to death on the spot: Jia Yuzhen must have known something.

However, he did it so secretly, and he had blocked the news from that side.

The doctor also died suddenly of an illness, and no one knew his secret.

And that place is hundreds of miles away from here, how could he possibly know?

Besides, he knew that Miss Jia seemed a little suspicious when he met her that day, so he made preparations in advance. Looking at Miss Jia's reaction, it was obvious that she completely believed him.

Why is it that when I get to Jia Yuzhen...

Who betrayed him?

Could it be Qihao?

It's impossible. He knows the other party's secret, and he has the other party's indenture in his hands. Moreover, from the current perspective, their interests are the same - only when he becomes rich and stands in a high position can he help him get revenge.

He had no reason to backstab himself.

Could it be Jiang Yizhou?

How did she know about that... So, actually, she was the one who caused the accident?

But how did she get in touch with Jia Yuzhen?

By the way, when he left, he heard that County Magistrate He went to Yunshan Farm and reached some deal with Jiang Yizhou.

So, could it be through County Magistrate He?

However, are County Magistrate He and Lord Jia several levels apart, or are there other relationships between them?

If that's the case, then I'm really in trouble this time.

Lord Jia snorted coldly at Ning Jianren and said, "I came to see you because we once knew each other, so that you can give up completely. I'll tell you the truth, I know all your stories. It's a good thing for a man to have lofty ambitions and want to climb up. I can't control what you do, but don't use that on my daughter. If you come to pester me again, don't blame me for being merciless."

Ning Jianren was filled with fear and lay on the ground for a long time without coming to his senses.

He later found out that in order to marry him, Jia Rouyi told her mother about her pregnancy, and her mother then used this to beg Jia Yuzhen to give birth to the two children.

Then, Jia Yuzhen had Jia Rouyi locked up, forced her to drink some medicine, and then marched her back to Kyoto.
