The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!
Chapter 83 Xu Rongrong is going to Jiangnan
Chapter 83 Xu Rongrong is going to Jiangnan
Mu Rong's injuries have completely healed. Now even the scabs have completely fallen off, leaving only a mark the size of a copper coin.
But for someone who comes from the military, this mark means nothing.
As Mu Yi applied medicine to the Marquis for the last time, he sighed, "When the Marquis was shot with an arrow, his condition was so severe that even the imperial physician was helpless. Later, the Imperial Physician told his subordinates privately that although the Marquis had survived, he would need at least six months to recover... But who would have thought that in just two months, he'd already recovered like before, all thanks to the young lady."
Mu Rong curled the corners of his mouth. Indeed, it was all thanks to her!
He remembered the arrow wound he received while hunting in his previous life, and it took him half a year to recover.
Later, an epidemic broke out and spread throughout the country. Your Majesty was afraid of unrest and wanted to urgently dispatch troops to help.
But he was still recovering from his injuries, and His Majesty had no one to use, so he was extremely anxious.
It was during that time that he recommended Lin Jiaoyue's brother, Lin Yunce, then General of the Capital Guard, to lead troops to aid various regions. He was eventually given a high position because of this and was promoted all the way to the position of General of the Northern Frontier.
Finally, he became Wu Tianqi's accomplice.
He will never give the Lin family any chance again in this life.
However, at the moment, although he did not suffer as much as in his previous life, his injuries had healed greatly and he had been harassed by the prince recently.
Like right now.
In the study of the Eastern Palace, Crown Prince Wu Tianao sat in front of him with a smile on his face, personally pouring tea and water for him.
Mu Rong just watched quietly.
Although he couldn't say he hated the Crown Prince, he was indeed annoyed by his incompetence! As the Emperor's eldest son, and born when the Emperor and Empress's friendship was at its strongest, the Crown Prince had been pampered since childhood, far more than his other brothers could ever hope to be.
He was both orthodox and had support, and all officials had long believed that he would be the next emperor.
But he had messed up a good hand! A few small moves by the Second Prince disrupted the overall situation, ultimately leading to fratricide and the rise of a treacherous ruler.
Now, knowing that there is someone behind the flood, and with all the clues and directions, as long as he follows the guidance he has given and digs deeper... he will surely be able to uncover the Second Prince's conspiracy.
But he just didn't move, just kept pestering me:
"Brother Rong, please go to Jiangnan for me!"
"I can only rely on you now! If you are not willing to help me, then I don't want to be the crown prince anymore."
Mu Rong frowned and gave him a cold look: "Prince, be careful with your words."
After all... before a capable person emerges, the position of crown prince will depend on you.
The prince hurriedly said, "I only dare to say this in front of you..."
Mu Rong put down the tea bowl. The matter of the Xu Mansion had just come to an end, and he was preparing to ask the emperor for permission to marry Xu Rongrong at the end of the year. How could he leave the capital at this time?
So he said in a deep voice, "The Junior Secretary of the Crown Prince's Mansion was once a student of the Minister of the Supreme Court. Six murders occurred simultaneously, so there must be some connection. With his ability, it shouldn't be difficult to find out. Isn't he a better choice?"
The prince slapped his head and said, "You mean Cao Yang? Oh! How could I have forgotten him! Rong Ge'er, just wait, I'll summon him right away!"
Mu Rong: "..."
……
It was noon and the sun was warm on my body.
After the previous period of hustle and bustle, Xu Rongrong was unwilling to waste this moment of peace.
She ordered someone to place a couch under the tree in the yard, and she sat under the tree with a cup of tea in her hand, flipping through the "Baicao Fang".
This book records the story of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs. It has been revised and supplemented many times by later generations and has now become an encyclopedia of herbal medicine.
Although Xu Rongrong was not familiar with medicine, she found it easy to understand the "Baicao Fang" after reading it.
She knew that there were many medical books in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. In her previous life, it was because she accidentally entered the library and saw the precious medical books left by the late princess that she became interested in herbs. Eventually, she studied and planted them in the mansion herself.
Most of those books were out of print, so even though Luo Shu went to all the libraries in the capital, he couldn't find a similar one.
She knew that if she asked, Mu Rong would not refuse.
But she didn't want to have any more involvement with him, so she could only rely on this book "Baicao Fang" for comfort.
As a result, she nearly tore the thick book apart. After finishing her tea, she looked up and saw Luo Shu walking in with a smile on his face.
Xu Rongrong raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Any news from Doctor Shu?"
Luo Shu narrowed his eyes in a smile. "Young lady, you're truly as foresighted as a god! My brother just sent me a message saying that man sat there for a whole day and night, and finally smashed all five jars of strong liquor that young lady brought. He said he wanted revenge and would be at your disposal from now on!"
Xu Rongrong rubbed her brows and said, "If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it! Why smash it? You really don't know how to cherish it!"
Luo Shu covered his mouth and chuckled: "Then deduct it from his monthly salary!"
Xu Rongrong: “…” That’s not really necessary.
Xu Rongrong looked up at the midday sun and asked, "What day is it today?"
"October twenty-seventh."
"It's almost done." Xu Rongrong stood up and said, "Come with me to visit my father."
……
Xu Chaoqian didn't have to attend court, so he was very idle all day long.
I asked someone to get him two sparrows from outside, and he spent the whole morning sitting on the porch playing with them, even though his arms were swollen.
I just finished lunch and I'm feeling a little sleepy.
When Xu Dong heard that his eldest daughter was coming, he felt a little impatient, but he didn't dare to refuse to see her.
After all, she is the county lord.
He had no choice but to dress properly, sit up straight, and act like a father: "Sister Rong, what's the important matter? Come over here in the middle of the day."
Looking at his sleepy face, Xu Rongrong sneered in her heart.
But a trace of guilt lingered on his face. "My daughter was rude and interrupted your father's lunch break. It's just that... the person my daughter sent out to inquire about my wife's whereabouts just came back and said someone saw her on the outskirts of the city, and from the tone of her voice, she seemed to be planning to go south." "South?" Xu Chaoqian frowned. "Isn't Jiangnan suffering from floods? What is she going there for?"
"Perhaps she's planning to return to the Liu family?" Xu Rongrong speculated. "I'm completely baffled, but the south isn't safe right now. Besides, if Madam returns to the Liu family alone... I don't know what they'll say to you, father. I think it would be best to go south myself and persuade Madam to return."
"You're going there in person?" Xu Chaoqian's eyes rolled around.
Now that there is a county lady above him in the family, he always feels a kind of oppression that is both present and absent, which always makes him feel uncomfortable.
If she left too, wouldn't I be more relaxed and comfortable in the mansion?
But…if she really went to look for Xu Liushi in person, would others think she was mean? She actually let an unmarried girl go out on an errand.
So he tried to test her, "That's not right. After all, you're a girl. How can you go so far? In your opinion, you should find a reliable maid to go with you."
