The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 124: Lecher?

As night fell, Luo Xiao prepared dinner.

On the other side, Mu Lu used his old trick again, holding the medicine bowl and putting on a bitter face: "The Marquis still refuses to take the medicine."

Luo Xiao almost laughed out loud, but she turned her back and tried hard to hold it back.

Xu Rongrong didn't stand up this time. Instead, she scooped a spoonful of egg custard into her mouth with a spoon. "Marquis Weiyuan is a dignified first-rank military marquis, but he doesn't even have a single useful person around him. What a pity! After returning to the capital, I will go to the palace and ask the Empress to replace the Marquis with some useful subordinates."

Mu Lu: “…”

What? Is this the end of my job? He hurriedly said, "It's not that my subordinates are incompetent. They have no problem marching and fighting, but... feeding the Marquis medicine is such a delicate task."

"Are delicate jobs meant for women?" Xu Rongrong stirred the spoon in her hand.

Mu Lu quickly fell silent: "That's not what I meant."

"I don't care what you mean." Xu Rongrong smiled. "The current situation is that either you can show sympathy to your own Marquis and help him take medicine and recover soon; or you can let him endure it on his own and see if he can pull through."

"It's really unreasonable for you to come to me for help again and again." Xu Rongrong looked unhappy while speaking.

Even though Mu Lu was thick-skinned enough, he didn't dare to say anything after being scolded like this and had to leave.

Seeing him leave, Xu Rongrong let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief.

Thinking of the embarrassing scene that afternoon, she wished she had never entered Mu Rong's room! Now, if she was asked to go in again, she would never be able to do so!

Luo Xiao served Xu Rongrong another bowl of soup: "But the charcoal fire in the room is too strong? Why is the county lady's face so red?"

Xu Rongrong quickly lowered her head and covered it up by saying, "It's okay, maybe I was just in a hurry to eat."

In Mu Rong's room, he had already opened his eyes.

Since Xu Rongrong didn't want to come, there was no need for him to pretend.

What's more, lying in bed all day made his whole body feel uncomfortable.

"Do you really want to drink it?" Mu Rong wanted to vomit when he smelled it.

Mu Lu nodded: "This is what Doctor Shu specifically instructed."

"Did Shu Qing tell you to do that, or did you?" Mu Rong spoke in a calm tone.

Mu Lu knelt down quickly and said, "I dare not... Doctor Shu told you to take your medicine on time. I just want Miss to feel more sorry for you."

Mu Rong looked at the dark medicinal juice and said nothing: "Put it down."

Mu Lu was as if pardoned and quickly put the medicine on the table.

"Is there any news from the capital?" Mu Rong asked.

Mu Lu quickly called Mu Ai in. Mu Ai had always been responsible for conveying news to the capital, and he didn't dare to interfere.

"In reply to the Marquis, news came from the capital this morning that the Second Prince has been imprisoned by His Majesty."

"What else?" Mu Rong asked.

"There is no other news. Lord Chang Jing was not affected by the flood. His Majesty said that his merits and demerits offset each other, so he returned to Jiangnan and continued to serve as the Jiangnan Dao Promotion and Demotion Envoy. Although he was not promoted, he was able to retain his original position after this major event. His Majesty's attitude is already clear." "Yes." Mu Ai also agreed with this.

But he didn't expect that only the second prince was punished for this matter.

Although he did not return to Beijing, Cao Yang could definitely handle this matter alone.

Duan Chuannan's identity will definitely be exposed, but given the Second Prince's flamboyant personality, such a complicated conspiracy must have been orchestrated by someone else behind the scenes.

Mu Rong believed that this person was closely related to the Fourth Prince, but he did not expect that after all the turmoil in the capital, the Fourth Prince was not hurt at all!

It seems that the Fourth Prince is hiding deeper than he imagined.

But it’s better this way. The second prince fell much earlier than in his previous life, and Duan Chuannan will not affect the third prince.

The tragedy of the third prince's death in front of him in his previous life will never be spoken again.

Thinking of this, he instructed Mu Ai, "Send a letter to the Third Prince, asking him to stay in the mansion as much as possible before I return to the capital."

"Yes!" Mu Ai replied, "I have another matter to report."

"explain."

"The guard named Chu He who was with the young lady has not been seen since last night. I went to Yaju to inquire, but no one knows where he is."

Chuhe? Mu Rong frowned.

Mu Ai was a little worried. "This man has good skills, but his whereabouts are strange. I'm worried he might harm the young lady. And this time, he happened just when Lin... Mu Wan'er was planning to harm the young lady. I'm sure his disappearance is also related to this."

Mu Rong sneered, then said firmly: "He won't harm Rongrong."

Mu Lu on the side opened his eyes wide: "My Lord, that person is your love rival! Is it really okay for you to do this?"

"But this matter still needs to be investigated. He wouldn't disappear inexplicably at this moment." Mu Rong ordered.

……

On the other hand, the suspected Chu He was now outside the post station in Suzhou City.

After Mu Xiner told him Lin Jiaoyue's hiding place, he followed the official road and caught up with the team transporting tribute from southern Xinjiang to the north.

This team has more than a hundred guards. He tested them twice in the afternoon and found that they were indeed masters picked from thousands of people.

It would not be easy for him to kill Lin Jiaoyue here and escape safely.

Therefore, he chose to make a test in the dead of night.

The people who came to Beijing from southern Xinjiang were a pair of clan leaders, brother and sister, Wali and Wai.

The people of Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou differed significantly in appearance. As a woman, Wai had been constantly pointed at and criticized. Suddenly, she encountered the beauty of Lin Jiaoyue, who treated her like a girl her own age. Within half a day, she had become a close friend. Lin Jiaoyue, having revealed herself as the daughter of a minister, had traveled to Jiangnan with her maid, only to be targeted by a villain.

Her maid also died tragically in a foreign land in order to protect her.

As she spoke, her appearance was so sad and beautiful that even Wai, who was also a woman, felt pity for her.

She never expected that in the envied territory of the Great Zhou, someone would dare to offend a girl from a decent family in broad daylight!

This further aroused her desire to protect her, and that night, she placed Lin Jiaoyue in the bedroom next to her own.

Chu He quietly sneaked into the post station. Just as he approached Lin Jiaoyue's room, a flying knife was just thrown out when it was noticed by Wei.

The girl from Southern Xinjiang, dressed only in a white lingerie and clutching a steel fork, rushed out of the room and immediately knocked away the flying knife thrown by Chu He. "Lecher! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Chu He: "..."

This was also the first time he had encountered such a situation. He was inexplicably labeled a scoundrel. Seeing the murderous aura of the man, Chu He jumped over and hid under the eaves.

There were small jade beads in Wei's hair, which sparkled in the moonlight. She was originally a petite girl, but now she was standing outside Lin Jiaoyue's door with a huge steel fork in her hand. No matter from which angle she was looked at, she looked like a door god.

There was a lot of commotion in the post station, and guards came from all directions.

Chu He knew he couldn't stay any longer, so he quietly hid in the night.

When I looked back, Lin Jiaoyue had already hidden in the room and dared not show up, while the girl from southern Xinjiang was resolutely guarding her.

"Idiot!" Chu He thought to himself.
