Chapter 224 Don't Blow Me Up

Liu Wanting helped him blow his hands. Shen Lichuan had used knives all the time, so the palm of his right hand was covered with thick calluses. The fingers on his left hand were more severely burned than those on his left hand.

Liu Wanting took the basin and said, "Cool it, otherwise it will bubble."

Shen Lichuan saw Liu Wanting's clear and beautiful eyes, as if there was a shallow spring flowing in the eye sockets, and Shen Lichuan felt a sense of guilt.

The girl is a good girl, why did he want to harm other people's good girls, and why did he tell him the truth about what happened back then.

Shen Lichuan felt regretful for what he just said.

"It's my fault, just pretend that I never said these words." Shen Lichuan said solemnly.

But I can't take back what I said.

Liu Wanting's heart could no longer calm down. She opened the steamed bun pot in silence, and the moist heat steamed so hard that her eyes and long eyelashes were covered with a layer of mist.

Liu Wanting picked out the hot buns.

The taste is quite fragrant, but the presentation of the buns is not very good.

Liu Wanting said hoarsely: "The steamed buns are also overcooked."

"fine."

The bottom of the bun collapsed and the meat filling inside leaked out. Shen Lichuan directly caught it with his hands and ate most of it in one bite.

Chewing the buns again, he said vaguely: "We used to catch up with the war in the military camp, and the potatoes we brought were as frozen as rocks, so we just ate them anyway."

"It's so hard to be a soldier." Liu Wanting felt very confused and was cleaning up the equally messy kitchen.

"Yes." Shen Lichuan thought of Ruan Ningxiang again.

It’s painful, but when I think about it again when I have someone by my side, I still feel a little nostalgic.

One bun was finished in two bites.

Shen Lichuan wiped the oil stains on his hands with a handkerchief, then held the handkerchief embroidered with pear blossoms in his palm, "It's getting late, I'm going to the military camp."

Shen Lichuan didn't know how to face Liu Wanting, so he escaped from here.

Liu Wanting looked at his leaving figure.

Thinking about his words.

Fake marriage.

Even if it is a fake marriage, her reputation as a woman will be ruined to the outside world.

Liu Wanting was stunned for a long time. Aunt Wang walked in with a smile and said happily, "Actually, I have already seen that there is a relationship between you and the second young master."

Liu Wanting slowly turned around and asked, "Is there any?"

"Why not?" Aunt Wang was very enthusiastic, "Look, the second young master brought you back home late at night, and even gave you the betrothal gift his mother left for him to marry his wife. Doesn't this mean that he has feelings for you?

Don't you get up so early every day and make breakfast for him? You two have already been secretly in love."

Liu Wanting wanted to say that it wasn't like this. They didn't even say a few words to each other, so there was no secret feeling.

"Aunt Wang, I'm going out for a trip, so I won't eat at home at noon."

Liu Wanting returned to her cabin, dressed up carefully, and went to the main residence of Zhao'an County.

Knocked on the door.

"Miss Liu?" The doorman knew her.

"I'm looking for Luo Bai." Liu Wanting looked at the courtyard, "It's the mugwort you have here."

"Ah, mugwort, he went out early in the morning."

"Do you know when you will be back?"

"I don't know about that." The janitor shook his head, "Why don't Miss Liu go into the house and wait? The county lord has just left, so I'll send someone to inform her.

A few days ago, Miss Liu disappeared, and the county head and the whole family braved the rain to spend half the night looking for you."

Liu Wanting frowned slightly, "Has Mugwort come looking for me too?"

"I've found you. He was the first to go out to look for you, and he was also the first to come back and report that you had moved into General Xiao Shen's house. The county boss told us not to look for you anymore."

Liu Wanting lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, "I won't go in. The county boss is busy, so don't inform her. When you see Ai Cao, tell him that I'm waiting for him at Baoyue Building on Xinbao Street. See you there.

.”

The doorman still wanted to persuade someone to stay, but Liu Wanting left without saying anything.

The boy guarding the gate still informed the Lord of Zhao'an County.

Ruan Ningxiang, who was at the Ministry of Works, was writing a plan with her head down. She stopped writing when she heard this and glanced at the Eleventh Prince, who was sitting lazily opposite.

She whispered to the people in the house: "Go and send someone to look for Mugwort and ask him to go see Miss Liu as soon as possible."

The eleventh prince Chu Lan glanced at the man who left, "What happened? It's so mysterious, I can't listen to it anymore."

"Private matters." Ruan Ningxiang rolled her eyes at him, "The Eleventh Prince is now the general person in charge of the Chapeng Street project. What's going on if he delegates everything to me?"

"The solution is for you to come up with. If you are not responsible, who will be responsible?" Chu Lan played with the Luban lock in her hand and said confidently, "Besides, I am the person in charge, so I have the right to order you to do things."

Ruan Ningxiang said disdainfully: "Have you found the house?"

The eleventh prince spent a long time untying the Luban lock but didn't untie it, so he simply threw it aside. He walked over, holding Ruan Ningxiang's desk with his hand, leaning his upper body slightly, "I found it. The yard of Mr. Xu, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is decent enough, right?"

.”

A ray of sunlight that swept into the room hit him, giving him a golden halo. His beautiful peach blossom eyes revealed a bright smile.

Full of romantic charm.

Ruan Ningxiang dismissed it and threw the plan she wrote to the eleventh prince, "Look at it for yourself and understand a little bit. Don't be a hands-off shopkeeper all day long. Be careful that the emperor finds out and gives you a slap in the face."

"Why are you training me now..." When Chu Lan saw her picking up the knife on the table, the rest of her words fell back into her throat, "Can't I just learn slowly?"

The lowered tone was quite aggrieved. Ruan Ningxiang raised her head and glanced at him, "Why are you still standing there? Take me to see the house."

After burning the incense, Ruan Ningxiang stared blankly at the old wooden door with peeling paint, "Are you sure this is the courtyard of the former Minister of Household Affairs?"

"Sure."

The entourage beside Chu Lan pushed open the wooden door, and Chu Lan walked in. The yard was overgrown with weeds, "It's just that I haven't lived here for more than two years, and it's a bit desolate. They moved in and cleaned up the place themselves.

No more sending people over."

It's not desolate, it's desolate.

From the layout of the courtyard to the architecture, you can see the sense of dilapidation.

Ruan Ningxiang asked curiously: "Isn't the Household Department the richest department in the Sixth Division? Why does Mr. Shen live in such a shabby place?"

"You don't know this. Mr. Shen was a minister of the previous dynasty. He was a lonely old man, and he was honest. My father has only valued him for so many years. Even when he retired and returned to his hometown, my father didn't want to let him go."

"Then why did you let him go?" Ruan Ningxiang said.

Chu Lan said: "Because of an accident."

"What accident?" Ruan Ningxiang was curious.

She has seen the current Minister of the Ministry of Finance, but she doesn't know whether he is honest or not. She only knows that he is the prince's man.

As someone who belongs to the prince, Ruan Ningxiang is automatically classified into the party that is not a good person, except for the one in her family.

"It was just a fall."

Chu Lan pushed open a dilapidated room. There was a thick layer of dust on the door, which fell on his face. His long eyelashes blinked and fell into those beautiful peach blossom eyes again.
