Chapter 77
"boom!"
After learning that An Ziyuan had been rescued, He Jiongming, the prince of Prince An, kicked over the Eight Immortals table in the inn, and took off the mask on his face that drove him crazy and suffocated, revealing a face that was several times more refined and colder than An Ziyuan.
"who is it?"
The guard who was hit with a bloody head by the Eight Immortals Table replied in fear, "After they caught An Ziyuan, they took him aboard the Lin family's ship."
"Trash, a bunch of trash!"
The losers in front of and behind Prince An lowered their heads at the same time, fearing that the prince would poison them all to death in a fit of anger.
The Crown Prince's plan to pretend to be An Ziyuan and enter Xuanzhou to gather public opinion and seize military power was planned for more than a year, but it was all in vain two days before entering Xuanzhou. Not to mention the Crown Prince, they were all very angry and uncomfortable.
But whose fault is this? An Jiangchun curled his lips with his head lowered.
You killed the entire An family and kowtowed a few times and carried flags for them. What happened? You have a noble status and you can't bend your waist and show your face. Now you're fine, aren't you screwed up?
Smash it, it’s brilliant!
The prince has delayed the prince's important affairs, and the prince will never spare the prince lightly. An Jiangchun's lowered eyes were full of gloating.
Prince An suppressed his anger and asked with murderous intent, "Where has the Lin family's ship gone?"
"Hui Shizi, the Lin family's ship should dock at the Ling County pier tonight. However... there are many experts on the ship and they are heavily guarded, so I won't be able to find a chance to take action."
Prince An of Ling County raised his gloomy eyes, which were filled with blood.
An Fengchun boldly reminded, "The prince wants to deal with the Lin family and Shen Ge. There will be many opportunities in the future. Now, we must focus on the overall situation. Otherwise, the prince..."
An Fengchun didn't dare to say any more.
After a while, Prince An, who had regained his composure, darkly ordered, "Go to Hezhou."
As more and more Shen Shangzhi's men caught up with the Lin family's ship, the Lin family's ship's journey became more and more stable. When there was no rain, Lin Ruyu could even enjoy the morning or sunset glow on the deck.
Three days later, when Lin Ruyu opened the window and saw the Xuanzhou City Wall from a distance, she almost didn't shed tears.
Yunjuan walked into the room with brisk steps and said, "Girl, the ship is almost at the dock. Can my slave help you change your clothes?"
It's really time to change clothes.
Lin Ruyu took off her coarse cloth dress and put on a pink gauze short jacket with large sleeves and a long skirt tied high under her armpits. This outfit made her tall and pretty, and revealed a bit of innocence and liveliness.
After changing her clothes, Yunjuan neatly combed Lin Ruyu's bun into a double-snail bun. After putting pearl flowers on her inky bun, she smiled and said, "This is what my girl looks like."
Lin Ruyu smiled at herself in the bronze mirror. After seventeen years, she finally came back with her mother and A Heng!
Zhu Qing ran outside the door and said cheerfully, "Miss, the second lady has come to greet us with the eldest young master and the second girl. Madam, please prepare to disembark."
Lin Ruyu went to the window and looked out, vaguely seeing her second aunt standing on the shore, and beside her were her two children - ten-year-old Lin Rumei, the second girl of the Lin family, and seven-year-old Lin Dudong, the eldest son of the Lin family.
They were surrounded by a group of maids, women and servants, and they were all colorful and very beautiful.
Maybe it had been too long, or maybe it was too far away, so Lin Ruyu couldn't recognize the maids and women clearly, but she remembered Du Xiang, the chief steward of the Lin Mansion, who was standing at the front and waving his sleeves excitedly, very clearly.
In his last life, Du Xiang died of illness more than a month after he returned to Xuanzhou. Before he died, he asked Yun Juan to secretly bring him a note, telling him not to agree to any conditions of "An Ziyuan" and that he must hold on tight
Holding half of the Lin family's seal, wait until mother or father comes back to make the decision for you.
Although I trusted "An Ziyuan" at that time, due to her mother's instructions, I did not give "An Ziyuan" half of the seals that allowed me to control the Lin family store.
Thinking about it now, "An Ziyuan" later brought his mother and A Heng back to the Lin family just to obtain the complete seal.
Although by that time, most of the Lin family had fallen into the hands of him, the quasi-son-in-law of the Lin family, it was still not justified.
Lin Ruyu came to her senses, leaned over and waved her sleeves to the family on the shore before walking out. As soon as she walked out of the door, she heard the cry of giving birth.
"Sister Ruyu——"
Lin Ruyu turned around and saw Shen Ge and Shengzi standing at the other end of the cabin aisle, and walked towards them.
Lin Ruyu's little face was gleaming white and dazzlingly beautiful. Her hair and dress were blown by the wind, and every blow seemed to blow on Shen Ge's heart.
Shen Ge looked at her and couldn't move his eyes away at all.
Xu Chuan, who was in the opposite room, saw this scene and raised his hand and coughed softly. Shen Ge was awakened and returned to his senses. He pretended to be fine and turned to look at Xu Chuan, "Brother Xu, has everything been sorted out as well?"
"Well, there aren't many salutes at all." Xu Chuan suppressed a smile.
In the past two days, he had been praising Shen Ge in front of the master for not being old but for being mature and prudent in doing things, which made people very reassuring. Today, I saw that he was so full of love, but he just thought that no one noticed it. He was so cute.
When Xu Chuan walked to the door of the room, his eyes lit up.
No wonder Shen Ge couldn't control himself. The little girl from the Lin family looked so outstanding after changing her clothes. The birthmark had been washed away. Now Xu Chuan suddenly felt that the person pretending to be An Ziyuan was after not only the Lin family's wealth, but also this little girl. Girl.
"Shen Ge, have you packed it up too?" Lin Ruyu stepped forward and greeted them very naturally, "Butler Xu, this is the 'secret recipe' you want."
Xu Chuan looked at Lin Ruyu, then at Shen Ge, and sighed secretly in his heart. He took it with both hands with a smile, "Thank you, miss. Lu Zheng has urged the villain several times, and this time the villain's ears are finally clear."
"Girl."
Hearing her uncle calling her, Lin Ruyu responded and stepped into Shen Shangzhi's room, "Uncle."
Shen Shang smiled and said, "We still have things to do after we land ashore. Let's say goodbye and meet again another day."
Lin Ruyu was stunned for a moment before bowing and saying, "That's fine, uncle, you should be more careful."
Shen Shangzhi liked Lin Ruyu's straightforward temperament, and she kept smiling.
Shen Ge also walked in, "Uncle, second sister, I also have something to do. We will see you later."
This time, Lin Ruyu looked calm and composed, but Shen Shangzhi was stunned, "Ge'er wants to go to the escort agency?"
Shen Ge shook his head and said with the most harmless smile on his face, "I'm just running errands with my third uncle to see the world, and I'm not from the escort agency. Besides, the situation is unclear now, so I'm going to bring trouble to others by following my third uncle. Uncle, I I will keep an eye out for people who look like me, and if I meet them, I will send a message to my second sister. My uncle will also help me keep an eye on the whereabouts of Mr. Dongzhu, okay?"
Lin Ruyu felt sour in her heart and lowered her eyes without saying a word.
Shen Shang stared at Shen Ge for a long time, until the smile on Shen Ge's face could no longer hold, he sighed and called, "Zhuang Ming, Zou Shun."
"My subordinate is here."
The fierce-looking Zhuang Ming and the ordinary-looking Zou Shun walked in from the door and saluted with clasped fists.
Shen Shangzhi ordered, "From today on, you two will take Shen Ge as your master, protect his safety personally, and teach each other all your martial arts skills."
Zhuang Ming and Zou Shun were stunned for a moment, clasped their fists and said yes, then turned and knelt in front of Shen Ge, "Subordinate Zhuang Ming/Zou Shun, pay homage to the master."
Shen Ge quickly backed away, "Uncle, this is..."
