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

Chapter 85 Are you afraid that I will be lonely?

Jiangnan Dao had four prefectures under its jurisdiction, namely Yuzhou, Suzhou, Yingzhou and Xianzhou.

Xianzhou, the seat of the prefecture, is about ten days' journey from the capital, passing through two cities and seven counties.

But precisely because Xianzhou was the seat of the provincial government and Chang Jing, the Jiangnan Dao promotion and demotion envoy, was personally in charge, the flood damage was not serious.

What's more, more than a month has passed and the situation there has long been under control. I think if the epidemic broke out according to the trajectory of the previous life, it would not have started in Xianzhou.

Therefore, Xu Rongrong chose Yuzhou, the city most severely affected by the disaster, as the first stop of her trip.

Considering that this trip would not attract attention, she did not plan to ride in the county lady's ceremonial carriage. Instead, she chose the day of the Qixi Festival banquet, and Xu Chaoqian, out of respect, had to buy her a new carriage.

The car was carefully selected by Luo Shu. Although it was not as comfortable and spacious as the county lord's, it was enough for this outing.

She also arranged a small cart and a driver for Shu Qing to use.

Everything is ready and we will set off after breakfast.

Xu Rongrong stirred the spoon in the bowl and looked out the window thoughtfully. She always felt that the past two days seemed too peaceful, but when she thought about it carefully, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

Wen Yao had already noticed that his young lady was feeling uneasy.

She pursed her lips, smiled, and joked with Luo Shu, "There's been quite a bit of commotion in our mansion these past few days. How come the Marquis hasn't sent anyone over to inquire?"

Luo Shu also felt something was amiss. She asked doubtfully, "Could it be that the Marquis has returned to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and is not next door?"

"But the people in the Mu residence didn't even report the young lady's departure, which was such a big deal? If the Marquis knew, why didn't he come to see her?"

"This... is indeed strange." Luo Shu finished speaking, pondered for a moment, and asked his mistress, "My mistress will be gone for who knows how long. Should I go and inform the Marquis?"

Xu Rongrong was puzzled by the sudden emotion, but after listening to the two girls, she finally understood the origin of this emotion.

Over the past few months, I have unknowingly become accustomed to the presence of the person next door.

Now that he suddenly doesn't care about it, it suddenly seems a bit strange.

After Wen Yao explained it clearly, the inexplicable emotion suddenly eased away.

Being weird doesn't mean she's reluctant to let him go, nor does it mean she wants him to miss her. Only when she's not involved can she feel comfortable.

So she took two mouthfuls of the porridge, put down the bowl and said, "No need."

Luo Shu stuck out his tongue and said no more. Wen Yao stood aside, sighing inwardly:

As a maid, she saw the Marquis's affection for the young lady.

But the young lady treats the marquis...

She thought that the Marquis's actions were enough to impress the young lady, and she even thought that the young lady had begun to accept the Marquis again.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

This is how it happened?

Xu Rongrong didn't know that the girl beside her was in a state of confusion at this moment.

She herself went back to her room to pack her books as usual.

Having lived two lives and experienced all kinds of changes, she has now made up her mind that she will never let herself fall into the predicament of her previous life again.

The result of a bitter love is nothing but losing oneself, and there is no other benefit.

Everything she did now was to prepare for her escape.

Only when Jiangnan is safe and the situation is stable can she live a good life with these two girls.

……

In front of the Xu Mansion, two carriages were ready. Chu He stood in front of the first carriage, whipping the horse, waiting for her quietly.

Now he is dressed in shorts, without any trace of the demeanor of the great general in his previous life.

Although Xu Rongrong felt it was a pity, she had no choice but to let him down in order to avoid repeating the cycle of her previous life.

Xu Chaoqian, supported by Xu Dong, limped over to see him off.

Seeing the carriage at the door, he frowned slightly: "Why are there two carriages?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Suppressing the nausea in her heart, she replied, "The journey south is long, and finding someone won't be easy overnight, so I made some extra preparations."

Xu Chaoqian wanted to say something, but when he saw Chu He tightening the whip in his hand, he swallowed his words back.

He nodded and said gently, "Well...it's my duty."

Because of his limited mobility, he couldn't go forward to check it out himself. Otherwise, he would have discovered that there was a stranger sitting in the second carriage - Shu Qing.

Before placing Shu Qing in the carriage, Luo Chen had already informed him of the general situation of the Xu Mansion.

Although Shu Qing did not sell himself to Xu Rongrong now, he needed to rely on the power of the county lady to avenge himself, so he would certainly not do anything to harm her. When he arrived at the gate of Xu's mansion, he sat in the car and did not show up.

Before setting off, Xu Chaoqian gave some meaningless and heartless instructions, and then took out the documents and certificates needed along the way.

Xu Rongrong took it and gave it to Wen Yao to keep close to her. After that, she stopped listening to the man's nagging and got on the carriage directly.

Xu Chaoqian touched his nose awkwardly, watching the carriage going farther and farther away.

He asked Xu Dong beside him, "Tell me, could it be that Sister Rong is making up a story to steal the document from me?"

Xu Dong was shocked. What had happened to the master? Why was he suspicious of his own daughter?

He didn't dare say anything. Fortunately, the second young lady, Xu Yaoyao, who had been standing behind him, came forward and took Xu Chaoqian's arm: "Look at what father said, it seems like the eldest sister is planning to escape..."

When Wen Yao lowered the carriage curtain, she saw the father and daughter walking together in front of the Xu residence. She was worried, "We're not here. I wonder what the Second Young Lady will say to the Master next."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Why bother with them? Even if my father gave her the entire household to manage."

"But Luo Shu and Chu Yun are still in the mansion." Xu Rongrong comforted:

"Don't worry. When the palace doctor came to the mansion yesterday to check Ping'an's pulse, I asked him to come to the mansion every two days to look after Chu Yun's health and check on Luo Shu's health as well. If anyone in the mansion tries to do anything, he will not be able to escape his sight."

"Also, I left Luo Shu the county lady's seal. If she feels something is wrong, she can use this seal to take Chu Yun out of the mansion. Who dares to stop those people from the Xu Mansion?"

Wen lowered his head and said nothing.

The carriage suddenly fell silent. Xu Rongrong asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Wen Yao raised her head, her eyes sparkling with tears. "How could this servant and I, Luo Shu, deserve such kindness and merit that the young lady would worry so much about us?"

Xu Rongrong looked at her with a smile: "You...are my sisters who depend on each other for survival."

……

The carriage galloped forward, heading out of the city. Outside the southern suburbs, thirty miles south, there was a teahouse.

After a whole morning of running around, Chu He was worried that they might be exhausted, so he asked, "Miss, would you like to get off the car and rest for a while?"

Xu Rongrong looked at the midday sun and nodded.

The teahouse is a place for passers-by to rest. It used to be the most lively and noisy place, but today it is unusually quiet.

Xu Rongrong and her servant pushed the door open and walked in.

What came into view was a man in a dark green robe, sitting leisurely by the window, holding a cup of tea in his hand, drinking lightly and looking at her with a smile.

Xu Rongrong couldn't help but frown.

Mu Rong put down the tea bowl, stood up and walked over.

His eyes were blazing, and his voice was deep: "My Lady, are you worried that I'll be lonely down south, so you drove all the way here?"
