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

Chapter 230 Girl Wai

Wai continued to chatter on, describing the suffering of the Lin family's sister in her eyes.

In her heart, Lin Jiaoyue was a kind and simple woman who was bullied by a heartless man and was hunted down by people sent by her love rival, leaving her with nowhere to hide.

Xu Rongrong seemed to be listening to a story.

Luo Shu beside him was also stunned: Is this... what Guard Chu meant by "not having a good brain"?

As Wai was speaking, he saw Xu Rongrong's calm face and his originally fluent speech became halting: "...What? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and asked her, "Have you ever thought about why she, the daughter of the Minister of War, would end up wandering alone in the south of the Yangtze River, without a single guard or even a maidservant?"

Wai: “…”

"She was fleeing alone in Jiangnan, destitute and being hunted. Why didn't she seek help from the government? According to you, the place where you met wasn't far from the provincial capital. Why didn't she seek the government's protection? You said the Marquis was powerful, but she is the only daughter of the Minister of War. Even if her title of princess was abolished, the government would not just ignore her and watch her be hunted down."

Wai blinked, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Because you don't know the rules of the Great Zhou. When women from the official families of the Great Zhou travel, they need a travel permit wherever they go. Firstly, it shows that they are not leaving without permission, and secondly, they can seek help from the government if they encounter any problems. If she is traveling as you said, then she will naturally have a travel permit. With this, it will not be difficult for her to find help."

"So that's how it is." Wai murmured. She didn't expect it would be so troublesome for a girl to go out in the Great Zhou!

In their southern border, she often ran away and disappeared for a month or two. As long as she reported her father and brother's names, the official express post stations would allow her to go in and rest.

"So, the distraught look you saw her in can only mean that the Minister did not provide her with a travel permit for this trip."

"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't her father only have her as a daughter?" Wai asked curiously.

Xu Rongrong nodded: "So... her going to Jiangnan was not arranged by the Minister, but to do something unspeakable."

Wai pouted, thinking about the "Sister Lin" in her memories, and then looking at the "beautiful sister" in front of her.

These days, as she interacted with the people in the Marquis' Mansion, she always felt that everyone here, including the "lecher" Chu He, seemed to speak differently from her sister from the Lin family.

So, she stammered, "Then...then what did she do?"

Xu Rongrong then told the story of how Lin Jiaoyue tried to kidnap her but ended up kidnapping Wen Yao by mistake, and how she abandoned her loyal maid to save her own life.

Wai was stunned by the completely different statement.

"She...she won't!" She was so anxious that she jumped up and down!

"If you have the chance, you can ask her in person for confirmation." Xu Rongrong said calmly.

"I won't believe you!" After saying that, Wai stamped his feet and ran away.

The master and servant were left standing there, both laughing and crying.

……

When Mu Rong returned home in the evening, Mu Yi told him about Madam Lu's visit in the afternoon.

"Got it." Mu Rong casually handed over a list. "Have the items listed here prepared in advance by the warehouse. When the county lady moves in, take them with her."

"Yes." Mu Yi took it and took a closer look. They were all ornaments and toys awarded by the palace over the years, suitable for female members to use.

Because there was no hostess in the Marquis's Mansion, these items were sent from the palace and locked in the warehouse and never opened again.

After Mu Rong made the arrangements, he went to Xinghui Hall.

Xu Rongrong was leaning against the window looking at the account book. The candlelight shone from behind her, bringing out a touch of soft beauty.

Two little white balls were nudging against her legs. Sometimes they got itchy, so Xu Rongrong would pat their heads.

Mu Rong stood in the corridor and watched, with a smile on the corner of his mouth that he himself did not notice.

It was Wen Yao who saw him first and hurried forward to greet him.

Mu Rong nodded, took a step with his long legs, and walked into the house.

"Third brother was ordered to leave the capital this morning and head for the border. Now everyone in the capital knows that the Great Zhou is going to trade with Fanwai. Rongrong must have made a lot of money these days." He smiled at Xu Rongrong. Xu Rongrong didn't deny it. She held the two little ones in her arms and stood up. "I was just thinking of discussing this with the Marquis. Now that spring is about to begin, Mr. Xu has been staying at the farm in the southern suburbs for a while. I'm sure he's familiar with the farm. I'd like to ask him to return to the capital in the next two days to discuss arrangements for this spring."

She was wearing a bright white jacket today, with furry collar and cuffs.

With the two furry little ones in his arms, he looked incredibly soft.

Mu Rong looked at him, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

"It's all up to you."

He had a smile on his face.

"Mrs. Lu came today and invited me to stay at Zhuxiang Yayuan for a while. The Flower Festival is coming soon, and I'm thinking of moving there that day. Is that okay?"

"It's all up to you."

Xu Rongrong: "..." "What arrangements does the Marquis have for Miss Wai?" Xu Rongrong changed the subject.

As expected, when talking about others, Mu Rong's expression changed. "After leaving the court today, I ran into Wali who was about to come to the palace to ask for an audience, so I told him about Wai's situation."

“???…” Xu Rongrong waited for what was to come.

Seeing her curious look, Mu Rong couldn't help but smile: "He is a smart man. When he heard me say that Wai had been missing for more than half a month, he realized that the palace had some plan for his sister."

Wai had been missing for more than half a month, but His Majesty did not tell the truth. He sent people to search for him secretly and also sent people to monitor the Honglu Temple to prevent Wai from returning.

This style of doing things is inconsistent with Your Majesty.

I think that in his previous life, Wei died tragically and his body was left in the Zhou Dynasty. He must have had some connection with the palace and even His Majesty.

However, despite knowing the ending of his previous life, Mu Rong couldn't understand why such a girl would be plotted against. Moreover, if they fell into the Great Zhou, and the capital at that, they would surely retaliate against the Southern Xinjiang clan, and His Majesty would know that.

Unless... there is some secret in Wai that makes His Majesty willing to take risks to achieve his goal.

But Mu Rong couldn't figure out why.

I told you the truth today because I wanted to see if there were any clues on Wally.

really……

After hearing what he said, Vali didn't angrily rebuke them for kidnapping her, nor did he go to the palace to make a scene with His Majesty. Instead, he respectfully performed the formalities of the Great Zhou Dynasty and said, "I think Vali is used to being carefree. I think she has caused a lot of trouble for the Marquis' Mansion these days. Please keep an eye on her, Your Majesty. I will bring her back soon."

His sincerity and courtesy made Mu Rong believe that Wai must be hiding some secret.

However, as long as it didn't affect Rongrong, he didn't want to ask any more questions.
