It was daybreak and thick fog was everywhere. Everything around was dark and unclear. Honeysuckle held an oil lamp in her hand to light the way for Poria.

Fuling half-knelt in the carriage, took the packages handed to her by Su Ling, opened the lockers in the carriage, and arranged them carefully.

It was almost done when Li Xinglan came out holding Su Su's hand. Su Su was so excited at the thought of embarking on a long journey to find Ergou that she couldn't sleep all night. Now she was still full of energy.

Li Xinglan passed her half-eaten meat bun to her mouth and said, "Finish eating before getting on the bus, or you won't be able to eat again if the car shakes you."

"I don't want to eat anymore. I'm full." Su Su patted her belly with a cute look on her face, then climbed onto the carriage by herself.

She hopes that everything will go smoothly on the journey and that they can arrive in Laoshan before New Year's Day so that their family can welcome their first New Year together.

Li Xinglan stood by the car and gave Su Ling a few instructions, basically asking him to hold his ground and report immediately if there was any movement.

After giving the instructions, he naturally picked up the buns left by Su Su without showing any disgust. He ate two bites and then got on the carriage.

He went up to her and hugged her tightly, then dozed off on her lap. He wanted to make up for what he didn't hug last night!

Honeysuckle drove the carriage forward, and Fuling, who was sitting beside him, waved to Su Ling proudly, "Bye~"

As a top secret guard, if the master doesn't take you with him, the important tasks will still depend on me, hahahaha!

Su Ling didn't care about these things. If he didn't want to bring it, he didn't have to bring it. He didn't have to suffer the gaze of his master, and he was happy and relaxed.

The tall figure was hidden in the mist. Su Ling walked back to his own courtyard. In a trance, he saw someone sitting on the steps in front of his house.

Who would be here when it's still dark? He had a bad feeling.

He squinted his eyes and looked again, and it was indeed Miss Shen who had hit his head.

Perhaps it was too cold, she wrapped herself tightly in the fur-lined cloak, stamping her feet from time to time and exhaling a cloud of white air.

Su Ling was about to sneak away, but Shen Jiaojiao seemed to sense something, suddenly looked up and saw him.

She ran to Su Ling angrily, "Why did you come back just now? I waited so long that the hot water bottle in my hand became cold!"

The tone was so righteous that Su Ling was dazed for a moment. The wife who blamed her husband for not returning home was probably just like that.

"I ran away from home. Please lend me a place to rest!"

Seeing that Su Ling still had a stern face and didn't react, Shen Jiaojiao threw him a gold ingot, "You will serve me during this period of time. Don't let others find my whereabouts. When I can hide for this period of time, there will be a reward!"

Su Ling just felt that Shen Jiaojiao was not smart enough. He walked around her without saying a word, opened the door, and closed the door casually in her incredulous eyes.

Without the master's order, why would I care about you, young lady?

Shen Jiaojiao stood at the door for a long time before she came to her senses. Her pretty face was full of anger. What a bastard man is so inhuman!

If she wasn't afraid that her father would come looking for her, she wouldn't dare to look for her familiar friends, otherwise it would never have been the turn of this expressionless brat!

"You don't even want the chance to make money! How stupid!" This is a gold ingot that an ordinary person cannot earn in two years!

After cursing at the air for several times, Shen Jiaojiao left shivering, "Wow, it's so cold!"

After Su Ling had slept enough, he went to the gambling house leisurely. Counting the days, Chuan Zhu should be back in the next two days.

Walking through the crowd of people in the venue, Su Ling still had a cold face and took a look around. Well, good, there were no troublemakers.

Passing by a private room, he seemed to hear someone inside mentioning the Shangshu Mansion. For some reason, he stopped and listened.

"If you lose, you can come back another day. Prince Han still has to discuss marriage today. I heard that the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion is extremely beautiful. Prince, you must cherish her."

"What is there to discuss? Give the Shangshu Mansion some face. He married Shen Jiaojiao. If he makes me unhappy, I will take her as a concubine. They can only endure it!"

After saying that, Prince Han waved his hand impatiently, "Come on, continue! Continue!"

There was a burst of noise and Su Ling frowned unconsciously. It turned out that Shen Jiaojiao was going to marry Prince Han?

No wonder she was anxious. She even ran away from home. Anyone would be anxious.

The reason why I was so impressed by Prince Han was not only because he was a gambler and often stayed in the casino all night long, but the most important reason was that he was extremely ugly.

I heard that he was once ranked among the top three ugliest men in Jingyun City. I don't know how he looks like this, but he has royal blood flowing in his body, so it shouldn't be like this.

He sighed softly, feeling a little sympathy for the unruly Miss Shen, but it was just sympathy. Some people in high positions are destined to have no control over many things.

That night, Shen Jiaojiao ran with unsteady steps and stumbled along the deserted street. She looked back from time to time, as if some evil spirit was chasing her.

Hiding behind a stone lion, Shen Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress the desire emanating from deep within her body. Her face was flushed and she was gasping for breath. Her cloak had been thrown away long ago and her clothes were disheveled, revealing her delicate collarbone.

She felt so uncomfortable, so hot, and so scared.

She kept trembling and cheering herself up. It would be almost time. She would be able to run back to the Shangshu Mansion and she would be safe!

Soon, a flurry of chaotic footsteps could be heard. The leader was a subdued middle-aged woman who rudely slapped the young maid next to her. "What a waste! We finally got the chance, and she ran away! Don't you know that if we don't handle this well, we'll all die!"

The little maid cried and kept admitting her fault, but the middle-aged woman slapped her again, drawing blood. She said viciously, "You just know how to cry! I'll deal with you later!"

She directed the servants behind her, "You! Go and guard the Shangshu Mansion to prevent her from returning! The rest of you, follow me to find her! Even if we have to search Jingyun City thoroughly, we must find her! I want to see where she can go after giving her the drug!"

Shen Jiaojiao bit her lips and covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound. Although the effect of the medicine was getting stronger and her will was getting weaker, she still recognized that voice!

A pair of beautiful eyes filled with hatred, waiting for me to get through this, I will pay you back double!

After an unknown amount of time, the surroundings seemed to be quiet. They must have gone far away. Shen Jiaojiao struggled to get up from the ground. Although she couldn't go back to the Shangshu Mansion, she could still go to the yamen.

She knew that if she appeared in her current appearance, she would be ridiculed in the future, but she knew even more clearly that if she was caught, the consequences she would face would be even more dangerous.

She used all her strength to grab the edge of the stone lion and finally stood up. As soon as she took a step, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.

No, it’s really uncomfortable. The heat is about to swallow her up. Shen Jiaojiao couldn’t help sobbing.

Sitting on the cold ground, although she was a girl who had never experienced love, her desire and the instinct for survival drove her slowly into the depths.

But it was totally unacceptable. The combination of shame and despair gradually made her collapse.

She is extremely helpless. Could anyone come and save her?

It seemed as if God heard her call. Before her last trace of consciousness faded, a figure appeared in front of her in a trance.

It was Su Ling. He frowned, with a stern face, and looked down at Shen Jiaojiao condescendingly.
