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

Chapter 314 Chu He is back

Early the next morning, Wen Yao brought in the neatly ironed crown and robes of the county lady.

There will be a banquet tonight, which will also be the last palace banquet that Xu Rongrong will attend as the county lord.

After this, she could only use the identity of Weiyuan Hou's wife.

Therefore, Wen Yao paid special attention to it and packed all the hats and accessories carefully.

When she came back, Xu Rongrong was lying on the bed with sleepy eyes, rubbing her forehead.

A face full of bitterness.

A hangover...it's really uncomfortable. Wen Yao glanced at her, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, saying angrily, "Young lady, you really don't know how to restrain yourself. From now on, I will never dare let you leave the house alone again."

Xu Rongrong blushed at being scolded by her maid. She took a sip of hot tea to warm her dry throat and replied weakly, "How could I have known the rice wine on the stall would be so strong... Didn't we brew some at home? It's warm and smooth, like sugar water, how could it be intoxicating?"

"How dare you use the wine from the stall in the middle of the night? That's for men to drink at night. To keep guests, they naturally use strong liquor. You thought it was the kind brewed by Madam Xiao! The Marquis is really something. This is your first time out of the mansion at night, but he is so knowledgeable. How could he not know these tricks? He didn't even bother to persuade you and let you come back drunk."

Wen Yao usually spoke in a gentle and kind manner, rarely sounding so harsh. Now, with just a few words, Xu Rongrong was being accused of being wrong. Just as she was about to explain herself, she heard her shift the blame to Mu Rong. She quickly responded, "That's right! This is all the Marquis' fault. He told me the rice wine wouldn't be a problem, so I accidentally got drunk."

But Wen Yao was no fool. How could she not see through her young lady's thoughts? She snorted coldly, "Look at what you said. On a normal day... the young lady is wary of the Marquis like a thief, often giving him a cold shoulder. And yet, she came back drunk after going out with him. It's more plausible to say you're just craving alcohol than to say you mistrusted the Marquis!"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She could only act pitiful and said, "Wen Yao... I have a headache..."

Wen Yao was angry, but in the end, she was soft-hearted. After sighing, she turned around and went to the kitchen to make sobering soup for Xu Rongrong.

Seeing that the person had left, Xu Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief:

You really can't drink too much! Otherwise, everyone will come to criticize you.

Unbelievable, unbelievable!

Just as Xu Rongrong was full of resentment, Luo Shu ran in excitedly: "Miss, Guard Chu is back!" "Huh?" Xu Rongrong was still in a daze and did not react for a while.

When she figured out who it was, her eyes lit up immediately: "Chu He?"

"Exactly! He's in the front hall right now, wearing his bamboo green flying fish suit. He looks so impressive!"

"Really?" Xu Rongrong's face was full of joy. "Come and help me wash up. Just keep it simple and quick."

……

As a seventh-rank captain of the Imperial Guard, Chu He served as deputy to the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard to escort the siblings Vali and Wai back to Southern Xinjiang. Three months had passed in the blink of an eye.

After such a long time, he felt a little dazed for a moment when he looked around the unfamiliar hall.

Before leaving Beijing, Xu Rongrong had just moved into Zhuxiang Yayuan, and he was working in the palace at that time. He was the captain of the imperial guards who was promoted by the emperor as an exception. He didn't know how many people were watching him. In order not to cause trouble for Xu Rongrong, he never set foot here.

The only time was on the eve of departure, when I came here to say goodbye to her in a hurry.

Therefore, both he and most of the servants in Zhuxiang Yayuan were very unfamiliar with each other.

The front hall had a wide view, and busy servants were shuttling back and forth, looking at him with curiosity.

There was another person who, in addition to being curious, also had a hint of temptation.

Chu He looked at the maid who was pouring tea for him and asked, "What's your name?"

"In reply to Lord Chu, I am Zhuyu," the maid replied with her head lowered.

Chu He was of the seventh rank, so except for the girl Luo Shu who was used to calling him "Guardian Chu" and forgot to change her words for a moment, everyone else called him "Sir".

"Do you have any martial arts skills?" Chu He looked at her hands with distinct joints and strong wrists.

"When I was young, I learned some boxing and kicking from my brother, so I have more strength than the average person." Zhu Yu replied in a low voice, "I can't say I have any kung fu skills."

Chu He looked at her with deep eyes, but did not ask any further questions.

Zhu Yu let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief and stood aside with his head down.

Soon, a bright color caught his eye.

In the distance, a moon-white figure ran towards him, holding up the hem of her skirt: "Chu He, you're back!"

Chu He stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss."

Xu Rongrong smiled and stepped aside: "You are now the meritorious Lord Chu, no longer the guard of the Xu family's rear house, you can no longer act like before."

Chu He's eyes darkened when he heard this: "No matter what time, Chu He will never change." He spoke seriously and firmly, and no one would doubt the weight of this sentence.

Xu Rongrong was startled at first, then she smiled with her eyes curved: "I know!"

Southern Xinjiang is mostly a smoke-covered place. Chu He was away for three months, and when he came back he looked very different. Not only was he darker and thinner, he also looked much colder than before.

Xu Rongrong sent people to follow him secretly, and knew that he was safe along the way, so she was not worried.

It was just that Chu He was coming back half a month earlier than previously expected, so he asked, "Why did you come back so soon?"

"I..." Chu He looked at the girl in front of him and didn't know how to start.

He was afraid that she would be deeply tortured by the cold poison remaining in her body.

He was also afraid of the open and covert attacks from others after the dramatic changes in the palace.

So, when he was entrusted by Shu Qing to infect the death row prisoners in southern Xinjiang with the ice-sealing poison, he rushed to the capital day and night.

He completely ignored...his own injuries.

When he stood in front of Zhuxiang Yayuan last night, looking at the girl in Mu Rong's arms who no longer showed any signs of illness, a hidden pain in his heart exploded in his chest, making half of his body completely numb. He didn't even notice that the bandages wrapped around his body were soaked with donated blood.

At this moment, as he looked at the girl's beautiful smile, thousands of words came together: "I said I would come back to attend the eldest lady's wedding."

"You..." Xu Rongrong was slightly surprised. "May 12th is still some time away. You don't have to be so anxious."

Xu Rongrong was left in tears and amused by this reason. Looking at the bright dark circles under Chu He's handsome face, she felt a warmth in her heart.

Chu He was still as sincere as when they first met in their previous life.

She hoped that he would always maintain this sincerity in this life, and not help the evildoers and shoot arrows at her. She didn't want to experience the feeling of the sharp arrow piercing her chest again, it was very painful.
