Chapter 12

Xu Yiru sat in the carriage, closed her eyes and rested, leaning lazily on the cushion, the carriage was shaking and urging people to get tired, "Where has it been?"

Liu'er opened the curtain and looked out, "He has left the city."

"Yeah." Xu Yiru's heart was sank and she felt a little disappointed.

At this time, Arong should have returned home. According to her habit, she usually doesn't go out in the morning... I wonder if she would really be reluctant to leave after she found out that she had left.

Chen Rong didn't want to see her. Is she really just sympathy for herself?

She sighed softly: "Tell me about Arong."

...

The weather has been good after the Spring Festival, and the ice and snow melt away, the road outside the city was a bit muddy, and the horse riding was very bumpy.

Chen Rong saw the carriage not far away and chased after him with a whip, "Sister Xu, stop!"

There are green mountains in the distance, and snow accumulates on the roadside.

"Wow~" The coachman grabbed the reins, took a few steps and stopped. The car shook slightly, and Liu'er directly broke a white porcelain cup.

She was so scared that her expression changed drastically: "Miss, I didn't mean it..."

"Not hindrance." As soon as Xu Yiru's words fell, the curtain was raised. Her eyebrows and eyes slightly froze, and the corners of her mouth were raised a little.

"Sister Xu, you left without saying goodbye. I chased you all the way..." Chen Rongqiong's nose was red, her face turned a little white by the cold wind, and she hissed, "It's so cold."

"Come in quickly." Xu Yiru walked over and poked out her hand, "The car was warm."

Chen Rong shook her head and handed the cloth to Xu Yiru, "A gift for you." She closed her eyes and waited for Xu Yiru to take the thing. The atmosphere was a little silent for a moment. She pursed her lower lip, "That... are you really going to leave?"

"Yeah." Xu Yiru's hand stroked the smooth fabric, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said as promised: "I'll be back."

Chen Rong looked at Xu Yiru's face and scratched his head in annoyance, "How about I send you to Wuyi, I have nothing else to do."

Chen Rong has always been rational and smart. Even though he knew that this was just a waste of time, he still said it by chance.

Xu Yiru met her slightly erect eyes and turned her eyes away, "No need, you go back."

"Why..."

Xu Yiru did not answer again and returned to the soft couch with the cloth in her arms. Why? She was afraid that she would not be able to help but keep her.

Chen Rong lowered his head, feeling a little disappointed: "Then you have a good journey."

Xu Yiru saw that the car curtain was lowered, and the footsteps were getting farther and farther away. She suddenly opened the curtain and shouted to the dusty back, "Arong! You must... wait for me!"

Chen Rong paused, turned around and smiled at her, waved, "Okay."

Xu Yiru watched Chen Rong's figure disappear into the snow, and a mist rose in her eyes.

Chen Rong was depressed for more than half a month and kept reading the book, until Qiao Tongzi broke into her room at midnight.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" Chen Rong pulled the quilt and looked at Qiao Tongzi who jumped into the window in horror. "I'm still wearing so... black..."

He was wearing night clothes, only a pair of eyes exposed, and he looked like a thief.

"I really have no choice. There are many matchmakers coming to my house these days." Qiao Tongzi sighed, sat casually at the table, poured a glass of water, and drank a large cup, and began to complain, "Those men either complain without any illness or have simple minds. The most overwhelming thing is that my parents actually asked me to get married this year. You also know that I am not here."

Chen Rong touched his chin and pondered for a moment: "Well... you are indeed not young after being robbed."

"Me!" Qiao Tongzi felt a pain in her chest and pointed at Chen Rong tremblingly, "You don't help me, you will slander me!"

"You can hide for a while, but you can't hide for a lifetime." Chen Rong spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "My brother was forced to get married, and he is not determined to do this. Why don't you discuss it and get married to each other?"

Qiao Tongzi's eyes lit up: "I think it's OK, your brother is a gentleman."

After she said that, she went out to Chen Wenshu's room.

Chen Rong was not interested in anything and was about to lie down and continue to sleep. As soon as she lay down, she heard someone calling for catching a thief in front of her. She was shocked, grabbed a cloak and ran out of the door.

Why are these ones so worry-free?

At the door of Chen Wenshu's room, Chen Youwu and Gu looked at each other in a speechless manner. In the room, Chen Wenshu and Qiao Tongzi, who was holding his arm tightly, were ashamed and embarrassed. Chen Rong squeezed in from the crowd, his heart skipped a beat and thought it was poisonous.

Qiao Tongzi was too shameless to stay any longer and was soon sent back.

Chen Youwu sat in the hall and slapped the table in anger, "How could you do such a fool!"

"Master, please calm down..." Gu comforted her, and looked at Chen Wenshu meaningfully, "Young people, young and frivolous, are inevitable that they can't help but feel in a while..."

Chen Wenshu couldn't say anything about his hardship. He was sleeping well in the room when suddenly a man in black broke in. He thought it was a thief, but he didn't expect it was Qiao Tongzi.

He remembered what she said and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows, which was really funny.

"Since that's the case..." Chen Wenshu did not explain again and said frankly: "I will go to the prefect's mansion to propose marriage tomorrow."

Chen Rong was already sleepy, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but cheer up, "Okay! My brother is worthy of being a big man, responsible!"

Chen Wenshu: "..."

He suddenly suspected that this matter had nothing to do with Chen Rong!

Gu breathed a sigh of relief and finally got a scheming thing, but... she felt a little guilty when she thought of Xu Yiru. After all, in her opinion, Xu Yiru was interested in her son.

The prefect's mansion also knew about Qiao Tongzi's visit to Chen Wenshu's room at night, and was so angry that he whipped Qiao Tongzi with a whip. However, now that happened, and the Chen family was also an excellent family, so he agreed and decided to get married at the end of the year.

When Chen Rong saw Qiao Tongzi in the prefect's mansion, he couldn't help but clasp his fists: "Warrior Warrior!"

"I almost died!" Qiao Tongzi lay on the bed and couldn't move. He knew that the matter was expensive, but the effect was OK. "My father really slapped me."

"Everything is for freedom." Chen Rong patted her hands.

Chen Rong came out of the prefect's mansion and thought that he had been decadent for so long that he had to go to his shop to take a look. As soon as he reached the corner of the street, he was stopped by a group of gangsters.

"Oh, the girl looks good." The little gangster who was so angry in the first place bit a grass and happily said, "Super the money and let the uncle touch my little hand and I will let you over, how about it?"

"It's great." Chen Rong put down the stove in his hand and began to untie the cloak. "Don't worry, I'll be gentle,"

The little punk saw Chen Rong untiing her cloak and was a little misunderstood, "Is this so exciting?"

"I said you're here very well." Chen Rong clenched his fists and showed a smile.

In a restaurant not far away.

"Young Master, no, Miss Chen has been bullied by a hooligan!"

"What?!" Zhang Shaochu put the cup, "Where? Take me over!"

Zhang Shaochu rushed to that place without stopping, only to see a few men lying on the ground, and a few silver notes.

"Beasts, they are simply beasts!" The pig head covered her purple eyes and rolled on the ground.

Zhang Shaochu twitched his lips and looked at the dumb servant beside him, "Who bullies whom?"

He suddenly paused and walked over a few steps to pick up the silver bell bracelet that fell from the ground. Chen Rong was seriously ill when he was five years old. Gu went to the temple to ask her to carry it with him, almost without leaving her.

"Send these people to the government." Zhang Shaochu rubbed the things in his hand, with a smile on his lips, "Go to the Chen Mansion for gifts."

Chen Rong walked around and returned home in a comfortable mood. As soon as he entered the hall, he was almost blinded by the happy atmosphere. Zhang Shaochu was sitting on the table in a well-dressed manner and talked and laughed with Gu and Chen Youwu, even Chen Wenshu's face was good.

"What's going on?" Chen Rong subconsciously withdrew his foot that had just stepped into the threshold, but was suddenly stared at by a hot gaze.

"Rong'er is back, aren't you coming to have a meal?" Zhang Shaochu looked at Chen Rong's look with a smile.

Chen Rong frowned, coughed twice, and said seriously: "Actually, I'm not hungry."

Chen Youwu sighed. In the past three months, Zhang Shaochu has become much more down-to-earth and steady. He has taken over the Zhang family and seized the trade channels between Jiangnan and Dongyang. He was also appointed as an imperial merchant by the imperial court. He took great care of the Chen family.

People who used to dislike look really good now.

"Go and add some dishes." Chen Youwu ordered, "Rong'er, sit next to Shao Chu."

Chen Rong glanced at Chen Wenshu, who gloated and turned away his gaze.

She sat down like a needle and needle. As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, Zhang Shaochu picked up a fish for her. At this moment, she was reflecting on how she was addicted to beauty and played a good hand of cards.

"You should lose weight, eat more." Zhang Shaochu's tone was very gentle.

This tone made Chen Rong tremble.

"Today..." Zhang Shaochu took out the bracelet, "In addition to congratulating Brother Chen on his engagement, the object will return to the original owner. Rong'er, you are too careless."

Chen Rong: “…”

Rong'er?

Her thirty-meter-long sword was already hungry and thirsty.

Gu Shi suddenly became nervous when she saw this and blamed her: "This is your lifeblood, how can you lose it? Fortunately, Shao Chu picked it up, you kid!"

"I heard that you are in a bad mood recently. Xu Yiru has left. I can accompany you." Zhang Shaochu said suddenly.

Gu sighed, and she was also worried about it. Chen Rong has always been strong, and only Zhang Shaochu is so concerned about her.

Chen Rong didn't want to speak, and glared at Zhang Shaochu, "I'm full!"

Joke, can anyone replace Sister Xu?

It’s not that she won’t come back, nor is it… a man can replace her. Chen Rong covered her sour heart, and Xu Yiru’s every frown and smile seemed to be engraved in her mind. What’s going on with this pretentious mood?

She had to go to find Ying Yangxue quickly so that Zhang Shaochu would not continue to behave. She couldn't stand such stimulation!!!

At the same time, Wuyi and Yu Nancheng.

"Xu Yiru, what do you mean?!" The woman was pressed by the big man and tied up in big furiously. "Now I am the mother of the Xu family. Do you think you are the eldest lady of the Xu family, can you do whatever you want?!"

Xu Yiru sat on the chair, looking high at the lady who was struck by the scattered temples on the ground, and smiled softly: "What is your aunt talking nonsense? You forged your father's suicide note and occupied the Xu family's business. This is a serious crime..."

"Collaborate with the government and bribe the housekeeper." She paused and sighed: "It is indeed money that can make the devil push the mill, right?"

"Don't swear! I warn you, you have nothing now, fighting with me will only die miserably!" The woman cursed, "You bastard, man!"

When the woman saw the housekeeper who was following Xu Yiru's head, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, she was very unwilling to accept it, "Why, why do you betray me!"
