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

Chapter 84: I Changed My Mind

After so many years as father and daughter, Xu Chaoqian could guess what he was thinking just by looking at his expression.

She knew that her father was not really worried about her safety, but wanted her to give him a reason to convince others.

Thinking of this, she smiled softly, "Thank you for your compassion, father. However, the lady must have misunderstood the mansion this time, which is why she sneaked out at night. I think if I want her to change her mind, either you or I need to go and explain it in person. However..."

She glanced at Xu Chaoqian's legs and continued, "My father is having a lot of trouble right now, and as the eldest daughter, I'm in charge of the affairs of the entire family. After much thought, I think it's safest to go there in person."

Xu Chaoqian nodded, quickly calculating in his mind:

Xu Liushi was probably completely ruined, and it would be best if she died outside! But after all, they had been married for many years. If they really ignored it, wouldn't it make people who didn't know the truth shudder?

Besides, if she really goes back to the Liu family, she will definitely not let me go. What if she does something to ruin my official reputation?

So, he made up his mind: "You have a point. Since you have made up your mind, I can't stop you. I will follow your lead. I will prepare the necessary documents for you along the way."

After saying this... Luo Shu, who was standing by, scratched his ears in disgust.

Xu Chaoqian didn't notice these little movements, and he thought of another question:

Now that Xu Rongrong is the county lady, her goings and comings must be quite grand... How much money will this cost?

So he asked again: "...How many people are you going to take with you?"

Xu Rongrong looked into those timid eyes, pondered for a moment, and replied, "Madam has been gone for a few days, so I need to travel light to catch up. Chu He is very skilled, and Wen Yao is careful and considerate, so I think it's enough to take them both. Father, do you think it's appropriate?"

"It's suitable, it's suitable!" Xu Chaoqian breathed a sigh of relief: There are only two people, so it won't cost much money!

Then he waved his hand and said: "All expenses for this trip will be paid from the public treasury."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She suppressed her nausea and briefly explained the affairs of the mansion.

Xu Chaoqian naturally agreed.

On the way back to Wutong Courtyard, passing by the flower garden, Xu Rongrong smelled the last wisp of fragrance before winter, which dispelled the nausea in her heart.

Luo Shu said distressedly, "Miss, when will you stop... dealing with people like the Master?"

Xu Rongrong looked at her: "You are so bold, you even dare to comment on the head of the family." "How does he look like the head of the family... He has been an official for so many years, and yet..." Luo Shu paused.

"Did they all get into the dog's stomach?" Xu Rongrong continued with a smile.

Luo Shu blushed.

Xu Rongrong twirled her long hair with her fingers, lost in thought. "Not everyone is responsible. Some people...pursue personal gain, covet power, ignore the suffering of the people, and don't think about their families. They just want to live a happy life."

"But... you are his biological daughter." Luo Shu was angry.

"So what if she's his biological daughter? In his eyes, he sees his daughter as nothing more than a tool, an object. But he sees me the same way." She might be a county princess now, but in the eyes of the world, she was just an unmarried girl. Without her father's permission, she would have attracted countless unnecessary troubles by venturing out into the world of martial arts. But with the documents he provided, she had no scruples and could do whatever she wanted.

Luo Shu understood the young lady's thoughts, but she had a new doubt: "But hasn't the Madam already?..."

Xu Rongrong nodded and said, "Yes! But my father doesn't know. I just need to let him know that I'm going out to find his wife, and he won't interfere. Besides, looking for someone is a troublesome thing in the first place. No matter how long I'm gone, he won't get suspicious."

Hearing this, Luo Shu pouted: "But... Miss won't take me with you!"

Xu Rongrong raised her hand and tapped her nose:

"Do you think I'm taking Wen Yao on a sightseeing trip? We don't know if this trip will be dangerous, so how could I involve both of you?"

"Besides, there are still so many things in the capital that need you and your sister. The shops need Luo Chen to take care of them. The medicine shop is on track, but the two porcelain shops still need careful management. There is also Chu Yun in the mansion who needs your care. After I leave, you can clean up a small room in Wutong Courtyard and take Chu Yun in to take care of him. I am worried about him living alone in the servants' quarters without Chu He to protect him."

"Also, if we need the help of those doctors your brother has collected who are good at treating epidemic diseases, we will rely on you to dispatch them."

"You play a very important role!" Xu Rongrong praised Luo Shu.

The happy girl put all the unhappiness behind her and said, "Miss, are you going to bring Doctor Shu Qingshu with you on this trip?"

Xu Rongrong nodded.

This time, she was sending Shu Qing to Jiangnan. If possible, she hoped to suppress the epidemic in its infancy as early as possible.

As the two talked, they walked further and further away.

Xu Xiangnan, squatting deep in the flowerbed, trimmed the remaining branches, put down his tools and seemed lost in thought. ...

Meanwhile, Mu Rong finally broke free from the prince's entanglement and rode back home.

As soon as he dismounted in front of the door, he noticed that there were people coming in and out of Xu's mansion, and it was very lively.

Mu Rong was confused and handed the reins to Mu Yi who came forward.

Then he asked, "What happened in the Xu Mansion today?"

Mu Yi hurriedly said, "I was just about to report this to the Marquis. The Xu family... said that the eldest daughter is planning to go to Jiangnan and will leave the day after tomorrow. Right now, the family is buying and preparing some necessary items for the journey."

"Why so sudden?" Mu Rong frowned. "The floods in Jiangnan haven't subsided yet. What is she doing there now?"

Mu Yi lowered his voice. "I heard that the young lady asked Lord Xu to prepare the necessary paperwork for her journey under the pretext of searching for Madam Xu, but...according to information from Lay Buddhist Xu, the young lady seems to have other plans, but we don't know for sure at the moment." "However, Lay Buddhist Xu said that the young lady mentioned that she would bring a doctor named Shu Qing with her on this trip."

"Shu Qing?" Mu Rong pondered for a moment, then suddenly understood.

Even though he had not witnessed the tragic situation in Jiangnan in his previous life, he knew that the person who finally ended the epidemic was Shu Qing, who was known as the "ultimate doctor".

She actually found him!

So, is she doing this for the epidemic that hasn't even appeared yet?

Thinking of this, Mu Rong laughed at himself: She is so free and easy, she can leave whenever she wants without considering herself at all.

He turned and ordered Mu Ai, who had just dismounted, "Go to the East Palace immediately and tell the Crown Prince that I have changed my mind. What exactly happened in the four provinces of Jiangnan? I am willing to find out for the Crown Prince."

Muai: "..."

Somehow, he suddenly felt a little sorry for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
