C158 (1/2)
Duan Xiaohe always felt that she was already reluctant to let Qin Rui dig a hole for her to go with Little County Princess, but now that Mo Jinyuan had appeared again, she said that he would go together with her.
A smooth path!
Taking the Little County Princess's ride, they rushed from the capital to the Qinghe County without stopping. With Little County Princess by her side, Duan Xiaohe also enjoyed the treatment of a noble. The carriage was carefully arranged and did not look bumpy at all. It was wide and padded with low tables with pastries and teapots, and it felt like a sightseeing trip.
Seeing that she looked as if he had never seen the world, Little County Princess laughed and said that if she was not here, he would still ride outside. He rode elegantly in this carriage, feeling very stifled.
During this time, Duan Xiaohe found an opportunity to ask the Little County Princess if she had found the jade pendant, the Little County Princess glanced at the carriage and acknowledged it coldly.
He had indeed found it.
Since he found the jade pendant, and hadn't made a move for so long, he probably wouldn't hold Liu Er accountable anymore. Old Man Liu's anxious heart should be able to relax.
Little County Princess wanted to say something, but he hesitated. In the end, he couldn't help but pull Duan Xiaohe and ask, ”Have you seen Qin Rui before?”
Duan Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat. The reason Qin Rui checked out so early was probably because he was afraid that others would discover that the two of them were in the same group.
Knowing that she had misunderstood him, Duan Xiaohe felt extremely guilty in her heart.
”Have you seen it before?”
She subconsciously shook her head, afraid that the Little County Princess wouldn't believe her, she thought for a moment, then said: ”When my eldest uncle was married, he came to give them a gift. After that, the child of the Liu Er family, the Hundred Heavens Feast, also came to give them a gift, but we haven't seen each other since.”
”Little County Princess's eyes lit up again, pulling her along with him with a face full of excitement. Isn't that uncle of yours a fool? How did he get married? You want a girl? Also, that Liu Er actually had a baby, did he come from your second wife or that little widow? ”
Duan Xiaohe answered all the questions one by one, causing Little County Princess to shake her head repeatedly.
”Everyone says that the commoners are simple and that there are no benefits involved. It's so straightforward that I'm rather envious of them on this point.”
”Your food and clothing are worthy of respect. How many people wouldn't be envious of you? You actually envy us country folk?” Duan Xiaohe looked at her with a thoughtful expression, ”Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don't even know what you rich people are thinking.”
The journey was too boring, and since Duan Xiaohe could not hold back, they started chatting with Little County Princess. Since they didn't talk about Qin Rui anyway, Little County Princess didn't intentionally suppress his voice. When she got to the happiest part of her story, she even raised his voice, raised her head, and laughed non-stop.
Duan Xiaohe asked her why she did not bring a servant when she travels. Other girls would bring one or two servant girls when they go out, so with her noble identity, there wouldn't be too many of them even if she followed them for a dozen.
Little County Princess waved his hands disdainfully. It was not like he was lacking arms or legs.
Duan Xiaohe gave her a thumbs up in his heart, County Princess is awesome.
”You and Lord Mo … ”How about it?”
Little County Princess glanced outside, ”What do you think?”
”I see that Lord Mo treats you extremely well …”
Little County Princess snorted, his eyes full of ridicule. Seeing her like this, Duan Xiaohe did not know what to say, and could only pretend to be mute.
Reaching the Qinghe County, Duan Xiaohe advised Little County Princess to first find an inn to rest, but when Mo Jinyuan said that he would like to go to, what he wanted to do was to go to the Jade Food Inn to get a good rest.
When he said it like that, Little County Princess was hungry. Duan Xiaohe could not help but smile, and then thought that since she had been sent all the way to the Qinghe County, she should also treat her as a host to a meal, and followed the carriage to the Jade Food Inn.
Mo Jinyuan followed behind the Little County Princess into the private room. The Jade Dew Man did not know who the Little County Princess was, but knowing that Mo Jinyuan was in Ming An County, he immediately brought his men over to the private room.
After the Lord Mo sat down, he recited the names of a series of dishes, and after a while, he followed up with a question and replied that as long as he came, he would get some pastries. The assistant smiled and said, ”Of course. The lord needs to wait for a while. I'll get them to prepare it and send it up immediately.”
Duan Xiaohe also wanted to see the Lady Zhang, so she left with the shop assistant. Going downstairs, she first went to find Qian Qiaoqiao, and let her go to Fancy Dress s to see if Qin Rui had returned. If he had come back, she would let him hide for a bit.
Qian Qiaoqiao laughed at her reaction.
She pointed at the private room upstairs with a sad expression on her face. ” ”It's just a case of raping.”
Qian Qiaoqiao was shocked, but then she realized that Little County Princess liked Qin Rui and married him to Mingan Prefecture, she was afraid that this matter would become serious, so she immediately rushed over.
