Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Lian Rongrong paused slightly, not wanting to argue with Wang Yue anymore, especially since she needed to keep her divorce from Qi Wangsheng a secret from her grandmother.

Seeing that Lian Rongrong was not moving, Wang Yue was about to say something when she heard Lian Rongrong's voice coming from inside the room.

"Spring Peach, Autumn Chrysanthemum, throw away all those useless things! They're bad luck!"

Wang Yue stood there stunned for a short while before seeing that Chun Tao had thrown out all her clothes and bedding.

"You lowly servant girl, how dare you throw away my things?" Wang Yue angrily pointed at Chun Tao and cursed.

But Chun Tao retorted with a disdainful look, "Miss, I'm really sorry."

"I was bought by Miss, so naturally I only recognize Miss as my master. If Miss says to get rid of me, then I must get rid of me completely."

As soon as Chuntao finished speaking, Qiuju walked up to Wang Yue carrying a guqin.

“Miss, our young lady said that the guqin is valuable, so we won’t throw it away, so that the master won’t have to spend money to buy another one.”

"You lowly servants! If I can't deal with Lian Rong, can't I at least deal with you?"

Just as Wang Yue was about to raise her hand to slap Qiu Ju, she was suddenly hit in the face by a bundle. Wang Yue staggered and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lian Rongrong was already standing at the door, looking intently at Wang Yue, and said firmly:

"You really can't handle my people!"

Seeing this, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju quickly returned to Lian Rongrong's back, while Wang Yue stomped her foot and angrily went to complain to Lian Xiuyan.

"I'm afraid Miss Biao has gone to complain again," Qiuju sighed helplessly.

Lian Rongrong, however, patted Qiu Ju on the shoulder nonchalantly and said:

"Go tell whatever you want, let's go back inside, turn off the lights and rest."

Lian Rongrong's mood seemed completely unaffected by Wang Yue's, or rather, Lian Rongrong appeared rather happy.

Qiuju leaned closer to Chuntao and asked in a low voice, "Chuntao, don't you think Miss is a little different?"

As Chun Tao watched Lian Rongrong's retreating figure, memories of her young mistress's decisiveness in the face of life and death during the birth of the young master, and the time when her young mistress pulled her into the amber ring, involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Chun Tao didn't answer Qiu Ju directly, but she couldn't help but think to herself: Miss seems to be quite different from before.

"Why aren't you two coming in? What are you doing out here in this freezing weather!"

Chuntao and Qiuju exchanged a glance, then responded and went inside.

Fu Bao had fallen into a deep sleep. Lian Rongrong gently patted Fu Bao with tender eyes while whispering to Chun Tao and Qiu Ju:

"You are the people I trust most, and now I have some things to entrust to you."

"Please give your instructions, Miss."

Lian Rongrong nodded, turned around, and continued:

"I want you to check what supplies are left in the storeroom of the other courtyard. Also, organize all the bedding and clothing in one place."

"You'll have to work hard; these things need to be done tonight."

"Tonight? So soon?" Qiuju couldn't help but ask.

Lian Rongrong sighed. She didn't blame Qiu Ju for having this question, since no one except her and Fu Bao knew that they were actually running for their lives!

"I have my reasons, go ahead and do it."

Lian Rongrong didn't offer much explanation, mainly because she didn't know how to explain it.

As Lian Rongrong assigned, Qiuju went to the warehouse to check the supplies, while Chuntao stayed at Rongbaoju to pack her luggage.

Chun Tao was quick and efficient, and since the bedding and clothing in the detached courtyard were far less than those in the mansion in the capital, she packed everything up in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

"Miss, everything you can take is here."

When Lian Rongrong heard Chun Tao say "take away," she guessed that the girl must have already guessed something.

"Chuntao, you guessed we were leaving, didn't you?"

Chun Tao nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Miss, is our Lian family in some kind of danger?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Miss has just given birth to the young master, and it is unavoidable for her to return to the Lian family. However, it is a bit strange that she insists on braving the wind and snow to come to the villa to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

The fact that the young lady left in such a hurry and found a reason to dismiss the servants in the inner and outer courtyards shows that it was not just a simple celebration of the old lady's birthday.

Furthermore, it's perfectly normal for Miss to take her own things when she leaves the Qi family, but even the manor's storeroom..."

Chun Tao suddenly stopped speaking, but Lian Rongrong frowned and asked, "You saw it?"

Chuntao explained somewhat nervously, "Miss, I didn't mean to. Madam asked me to bring you bird's nest, but you weren't in your room."

"I only saw you in the storeroom when I was looking for you..."

"Why are you so nervous? You've been inside the amber ring with me, what do I have to hide from you?"

There are some things I just don't know how to bring up. But Chuntao, that doesn't change the fact that you're the person I trust most.

Hearing Lian Rongrong say this, Chun Tao felt deeply moved. She had suffered hardship in her childhood, and her father was a compulsive gambler.

To pay off her gambling debts, her father wanted to sell her into a brothel, but the young lady bought her instead.

For Chun Tao, the young lady was not only her mistress, but also her benefactor.

Now, hearing her mistress say that she was the person she trusted most, Chuntao felt even more eager to give everything to her mistress.

"Miss, don't worry, whatever you need to do, I will do my best to help you."

Lian Rongrong nodded with satisfaction, smiled slightly at Chun Tao, and said:

"I understand. Go and check on Qiuju's situation."

Not long after Chun Tao went out, heavy snow began to fall. The white snowflakes danced in the night sky, beautiful and romantic.

But Lian Rongrong was in no mood to appreciate these ethereal beauties. After all the fuss, she was exhausted.

She needs to take advantage of this time when no one is around to rest and recuperate.

After confirming that no one was around, Lian Rongrong used her mind to enter the amber ring to recuperate and rest.

The bamboo hut in the amber ring seems to be perpetually warm and cozy, regardless of day or night.

Every time Lian Rongrong enters this place, she feels as if her whole body is enveloped in a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Before long, the body that was originally tired will be able to recover.

Lian Rongrong was exhausted today. She greedily absorbed the spiritual energy in the ring. Time passed by, but Lian Rongrong felt that it was only a moment.

Even so, Rongrong didn't dare to linger too long in the ring, knowing that Chuntao and Qiuju would be back soon.

Chun Tao is fine, but if Qiu Ju sees her floating out of the ring, wouldn't she be terrified?

After emerging from the ring, Lian Rongrong felt light and refreshed, all her fatigue gone.

She looked outside; the wind and snow seemed to be getting heavier, and Chuntao and Qiuju had not yet returned.

It should only be a trip to the warehouse, it shouldn't have taken this long.

Lian Rongrong was worried and wanted to go find him herself, but when she turned around and looked at Fu Bao sleeping soundly on the bed, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Just as Lian Rongrong was struggling with her decision, Chun Tao and Qiu Ju finally returned. However, both girls had swollen and red cheeks.
