Chapter 114 It’s nice to be home
Shen Ruoyan blushed, spat, and cursed, "Shameless!"
Jiang Chengfeng was very proud and laughed out loud.
Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes rolled back, and after thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Hey! Who is that Miss Meng?"
"My wife! She——"
Before Jiang Chengfeng finished speaking, Shen Ruoyan suddenly stood up and walked out quickly while shouting, "Go home!"
I don’t know what happened, but when going down the mountain, Shen Ruoyan always walked in the muddy places and walked very fast, and almost sprained her ankle several times.
Jiang Chengfeng talked to her several times, but she ignored him and just walked out. Jiang Chengfeng was thinking, is this girl having her period?
When we got to the foot of the mountain, it was completely silent. There was no sign of any officers or soldiers. I guess they all had left.
Jiang Chengfeng was unfamiliar with the area and didn't know where to go, so he was running around in a panic. Shen Ruoyan, on the other hand, was laughing secretly, thinking, you bastard, you deserved it for making me angry!
Unable to find the way back, Jiang Chengfeng asked Shen Ruoyan. Shen Ruoyan snorted coldly, raised her little head, and said complacently: "We are now in Hua County!"
Hua County belongs to Southern Anhui Province, and it is more than 300 miles away from Huayang! I didn't expect those bandits of the Red Immortal Cult to go to such great lengths! Fortunately, Shen Ruoyan often travels for business and has been to Hua County several times, so she knows the way here.
So, with Shen Ruoyan leading the way, the two found a small town, stayed in an inn for a day, took a bath, had a good rest, and hired a carriage to go to Huayang the next day.
Of course, all these expenses depended on the little money Jiang Chengfeng had. As for Shen Ruoyan, this girl only brought a mirror and rouge and powder, and no money or anything else!
The carriage was traveling on the spacious and flat official road. Jiang Chengfeng and Shen Ruoyan were squeezed in the carriage. After being bumpy all the way, they actually had the urge to fall asleep.
Just when Jiang Chengfeng was about to fall asleep, he heard Shen Ruoyan whispering beside him: "Hey! Jiang Dazhu, where is that Miss Meng from?"
"Jian Kang..." Jiang Chengfeng answered casually. In fact, Meng Jianglin didn't say anything about this at the time, and Jiang Chengfeng respected her and didn't ask.
Shen Ruoyan's eyes rolled back, and she muttered like a woman in the boudoir, "She is so beautiful, there must be a lot of people pursuing her! I don't know why she fell in love with you? You must have used some despicable means!"
Jiang Chengfeng touched his nose and thought that if it weren't for the help of Wang Zhao's aphrodisiac, the two of them might not have been able to develop to this point. But listening to what Miss Shen said, why is she always watching people through the crack of the door!
"Miss, I don't like what you said! What do you mean by despicable means? We are in love with each other!"
Shen Ruoyan curled her lips and stopped talking. Jiang Chengfeng was too lazy to pay attention to her. He took out the musket in his arms and played with it carefully.
According to the current industrial level of the Northern Tang Kingdom, it is naturally impossible to make a sophisticated musket. I guess this is a product of a Western country? Moreover, looking at the appearance of this musket, it must be excellent. Perhaps there is only such a sophisticated double-barreled musket in the entire Northern Tang Kingdom!
"Jiang Dazhu! I was wondering why Fang Zhi suddenly called soldiers to rescue us?" Shen Ruoyan, who had been keeping her head down and keeping silent, suddenly looked up and said.
Save us?
Jiang Chengfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Shen Ruoyan and asked, "Miss, are you sure he is here to save us? His father is only the Suyang Weaving Supervisor. How high is his rank? How could he possibly ask Long Fengyang, the commander of the Jianghuai Command, to lead his soldiers to save us?"
Shen Ruoyan frowned in thought, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense! Last night, only Fang Zhi showed up! I didn't see those Red Immortal Sect thugs either! If these thugs escaped in advance, why didn't they take me with them?"
Jiang Chengfeng nodded secretly. Fortunately, this young lady's IQ was not lost. She could still analyze calmly. If she had arrived a little later last night, this young lady might have fallen into Fang Zhi's trap. At that time, this young lady would not be so calm, right?
"I have another question. Why are those bandits from the Red Immortal Sect so polite to you? Is it just because the Shen family will pay 12,000 taels of gold to redeem you?" Jiang Chengfeng asked.
Hearing this, Shen Ruoyan suddenly remembered this and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
"Besides, Master Fang came when you woke up yesterday. How could he come just when you woke up? Is it a coincidence?"
Shen Ruoyan's eyes widened immediately and she exclaimed, "You mean - Fang Zhi is with those people?"
Jiang Chengfeng shrugged his shoulders, "You said that yourself!"
Shen Ruoyan's beautiful eyes rolled back, and she immediately asked, "What I don't understand is why he would do this? He's not short of money!"
Jiang Chengfeng guessed Fang Zhi's motive, but he didn't want to say it out loud, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know either!"
Shen Ruoyan remained silent.
After a while, Jiang Chengfeng suddenly asked, "By the way, Miss, our Shen family must have a store in the capital, right?"
Speaking of this, Shen Ruoyan, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly became happy and said proudly: "Of course! The Shen family has been operating for decades, how could they ignore such an important place as the capital? It can be said that apart from Jianghuai, the Shen family has the largest business in the capital! I also plan to wait until I finish the things at hand and go to the capital to develop next year!"
Jiang Chengfeng was overjoyed. He was also going to the capital just to fulfill his promise with Meng Jianglin. Now that Miss Shen was also going to the capital, he naturally agreed with both hands.
"Hey! Why are you so happy?" Shen Ruoyan's face suddenly turned cold and hard, "Are you planning to go find that Miss Meng?"
Jiang Chengfeng chuckled and said, "That's right!"
Shen Ruoyan's bright red lips moved, but she didn't say anything. For a moment, the carriage fell silent again.
Two days and three nights later, Jiang Chengfeng and Shen Ruoyan returned to Huayang.
Seeing the gate of Huayang City, Shen Ruoyan's eyes became moist. She originally thought that she would never come back, but she didn't expect to escape death and come back alive. When she thought of the grievances she had suffered a few days ago, tears could not stop flowing down.
Jiang Chengfeng glanced at Shen Ruoyan who was crying sadly, and thought that this girl had indeed suffered! It’s not a bad thing to cry!
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion. Shen Ruoyan cried even more sadly, and finally burst into tears. Jiang Chengfeng couldn't stand it anymore, so he jumped off the carriage and shouted to the mansion: "Someone come! The eldest lady is home!"
Soon, a large group of servants and maids rushed out of the mansion, and walking in front was Mrs. Shen, who looked anxious.
Seeing her mother coming out, Shen Ruoyan seemed to have found support and threw herself into her mother's arms. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.
Of course, Jiang Chengfeng was also warmly welcomed and hugged Uncle Wen and others enthusiastically. When he was about to hug Mrs. Shen at the end, he was glared back at by the other party with disgust.
