The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

"A-Jiu, you..."

Di Qinglin turned around, about to ask something, but was interrupted by Murong Jiu: "Sister Qinglin, don't speak. I just want to stay here quietly with you all."

Di Qinglin: "..."

This made Jia Daoshi feel uncomfortable, as the two girls were practically sandwiching him between them, face to face.

The breath he exhaled blew into his ears.

Itchy and numb.

"A-Jiu, don't worry, your husband will definitely take care of this."

To distract himself, Jia Daoshi offered words of comfort.

"kindness."

Murong Jiu gave a soft reply.

After traveling for a long time today, and fighting with the bandits and killing one of them, everyone was more or less tired, both physically and mentally. After comforting him for a while, Jia Daoshi soon fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how much time has passed.

"A-Jiu? A-Jiu?"

Jia Daoshi was sleeping soundly when he was startled awake by Di Qinglin's scream.

"Qinglin, what happened?" Jia Daoshi asked as he got up.

At this moment, Di Qinglin had already started putting on his clothes: "I was wondering why Ajiu was acting so strangely today! She's gone! Jia Daoshi, get up quickly!"

Jia Daoshi instinctively looked to his side.

really!

Murong Jiu has disappeared!

"Where would she go in the middle of the night?" Jia Daoshi asked, looking bewildered. "Did she go to the restroom?"

"The toilet?" Di Qinglin sneered. "Knowing her as I do, this girl must be afraid of implicating us, so she went to Yilan County alone to find that damned Ji Yuan! That silly girl! She'll get herself killed doing that!"

Di Qinglin knows Murong Jiu too well!

Although this girl is a princess, she is innocent, kind-hearted, and always considerate of others!

No wonder that little girl's words and actions were so strange just now!

"Quickly, chase after them!"

Jia Daoshi hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the yard!

It was nighttime, so Di Qinglin didn't need to cover his eyes with a black veil. He rushed out and, with a light body, quickly reached Jia Daoshi!

There is one thing that is very fortunate.

Murong Jiu had difficulty walking, and even with a cane in her hand, she didn't walk very far. In a mountain forest about four miles away from Jiajia Village, Jia Daoshi and Di Qinglin intercepted her!

"My lord! Sister Qinglin! Our family's life has finally started to improve! Don't let me ruin it for everyone! While I'm gone, you all live well, so I can rest easy no matter where I am!"

What are you doing?

"I can't go back! I've made up my mind!"

"I can't let you down! My lord! Let go!"

Although Murong Jiu usually looks weak, when she gets stubborn, even Di Qinglin can't persuade her!

She desperately tugged at Jia Daoshi's clothes, trying to break free!

"My lord! Sister Qinglin! Look at my legs! My legs are ruined! I can barely walk! Why would you risk your lives for me? You already have money, why give it to that bastard Ji Yuan..."

Jia Daoshi was helpless; no matter how he tried to persuade this little girl, he couldn't get through to her!

In the end, he could only—

"Woo~"

Murong Jiu cried out in surprise!

Because Jia Daoshi suddenly hugged her tightly, then lowered his head and silenced her with his own lips...

Murong Jiu: "..."

At that moment, Murong Jiu felt as if he had been electrocuted!

My lord...

He kissed her!

Unlike last time, this time, I was fully conscious!

Jia Daoshi dared to swear to God that he only did it to calm Murong Jiu down!

but--

Things seem to be spiraling out of control!

Murong Jiu's delicate chin and lower lip were mercilessly ravaged by Jia Daoshi!

An experience unlike any she had ever had before was causing Murong Jiu to lose herself!

A series of electric currents traveled from her ears all the way down her spine!

Jia Daoshi also seemed to lose control!

Her delicate, soft skin and subtle fragrance made him feel as if he were immersed in a pool of spring water!

and many more!

Jia Daoshi finally realized what was happening!

Now is not the time!

The timing and the occasion were both wrong!

Moreover, Murong Jiu's small body hasn't fully recovered yet!

"Now, are you still going to run or not?"

Jia Daoshi released Murong Jiu, took a deep breath, and said.

However, after what they had just done, both of them were breathing somewhat erratically!

Murong Jiu stared blankly at Jia Daoshi in front of her, her eyes filled with resentment, loneliness, and helplessness...

"Boom!"

Murong Jiu rammed her head into Jia Daoshi's chest and kept hitting his chest with her small fists!

"Jia Daoshi! I hate you!"

"Since you betrayed me, why did you suddenly become nice to me?"

Why do you torture people like this?!

"Things have already come to this! What good would it do for me to go back with you?"

To be fair, Jia Daoshi was indeed quite handsome and attractive to women.

In addition, Jia Daoshi's meticulous and considerate care for Murong Jiu over the past two days has already made this innocent girl fall for him!

"What happened? Didn't I tell you I had a solution?" Jia Daoshi comforted him.

Murong Jiu silently shed tears.

She doesn't believe it!

Moreover, Jia Daoshi insisted that she go to Yilan County with him tomorrow. Why?

Should we hand her over to Ji Yuan?

Murong Jiu dared not think about it.

I don't want to think that way either!

She always felt that Jia Daoshi was just trying to comfort her.

One hundred taels of silver! And now there's no iron ore left! Where are we supposed to earn it?

Because she was so tired, Murong Jiu cried for a while and then fell asleep in Jia Daoshi's arms!

Di Qinglin just watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

She didn't know what to say.

……

The next morning.

The sky had just begun to brighten.

"Qinglin, Ajiu hasn't woken up yet. You stay with her and get some more sleep." Jia Daoshi got up, tidied himself up, and prepared to go out.

"My lord, didn't you say we should go to the county town with you?"

At this moment, Di Qinglin had put the black veil back on, reverting to his aloof and mysterious demeanor.

"kindness……"

Jia Daoshi hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! Go to the kitchen and get some steamed buns and water, we'll go together."

Jia Daoshi was genuinely a little uneasy leaving these two dim-witted women at home.

"What are we going to the county town for?" Di Qinglin asked with a puzzled look.

"Of course, I'm going to earn that hundred... no! I'm going to earn that two hundred taels of silver!" Jia Daoshi laughed heartily.

"To earn that two hundred taels of silver?" Di Qinglin truly couldn't understand.

However, since things had already come to this, Di Qinglin was too lazy to ask any further questions.

Why not go with him?

Is there anything more tragic than the fall of a country and the destruction of a family?

Jia Daoshi carried the sleeping Murong Jiu on his back, while Di Qinglin followed behind Jia Daoshi, carrying a small bundle and a crossbow hanging from his waist.

The three of them set off as the first rays of the morning sun shone through.

The villagers in the mountains all get up early.

Some hardworking wives were already carrying wooden buckets to fetch water home!

When they saw Jia Daoshi and his two companions, they couldn't help but huddle together and whisper among themselves!
