Chapter 57 How to repay the life-saving grace

Xiao Wujin frowned. When he was in the prison team, he also found a prison uniform to wear, so he changed his clothes in the guest room.

After listening to Shen Ru's words, he continued to change clothes, but also said:

"what have you found?"

"My Uncle Fu discovered it. It's probably because the horses in the backyard are different from the local horses."

Shen Ru answered sincerely.

"But neither the Yi Cheng nor the Yi soldiers gave any warning, which shows that they are under the control of others."

"It's possible that you misunderstood!"

Xiao Wujin changed into casual clothes and said calmly, "You are just a woman. Do you really think it's inappropriate to be in my official house?"

"I don't care if a man doesn't stick to trivial matters. Don't care, Mr. Xiao."

Shen Ru said openly, she was working so hard to maintain her presence in front of Xiao Wujin, wasn't she just thinking that when she arrived in Liangzhou, she could make her family's life better?

She really didn't care about the difference between men and women, and she was not a weak woman.

"Miss, I saw Shen Ru getting into a guest room again. She is so shameless."

Jade happened to see it and talked about it in front of Cui Ti with some disdain.

"There is no need to pay too much attention to her affairs. Since she has fallen by herself, no one can save her."

Cui Ti said calmly, "Although she has lost the title of Marquis, she can still be of noble character. Then even if she goes to Liangzhou, she may be able to find a good family based on her appearance."

"It's just that she is so unlucky!"

Jade agreed, and just as he was talking, the door was knocked by the guard.

"Miss, maybe the station will be uneasy at night."

The guard said, "Miss, please don't use anything from the inn."

"Why?"

Cui Ti was puzzled.

The guard didn't say much, only that something felt wrong.

"In that case, then I know."

Cui Ti also has deep faith in her own people. Since the guard said so, she will not eat the food at the inn.

"Jade, go get some food from the carriage."

Shen Ru and Xiao Wujin were sitting face to face.

But Xiao Wujin was very confused. Shen Ru looked at how he could hide so much food in his thin body.
"Don't be dissatisfied. A little snack will not fill you up, but you won't make you hungry either."

Shen Ru held the cake in her hand, handed it to Xiao Wujin and said.

"you……"

Xiao Wujin was about to refuse when he heard a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw that the postman had brought dinner.

"Sir, we all know your identity. This is specially done for you."

Xiao Wujin reached out and brought it over, but did not let the postman enter the door, fearing that Shen Ru would be seen and he would not be able to explain clearly.

"Eh~" There really isn't much in this inn.

Seeing the dishes, Shen Ru shook his head directly.

"I didn't expect to feed adults like this. This food is too bad!"

Xiao Wujin, who put the food aside, couldn't help but think of the bowl of dumplings after hearing Shen Ru's words.

"This remote station is naturally not as good as the Marquis' Mansion in the capital. You are so picky. Let's see how you live in Liangzhou."

"It's not that I'm picky, but look, this rice is yellow, dry, and very rough."

"It's just that the meat isn't fishy. Why is this tofu such a color?"

Shen Ru said disgustedly, "I can eat dry food, steamed buns, and wild vegetables with porridge, but the food must be good!" Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru, the road to exile was so long, there was no need to simply eat it. He asked Shen Ru how she was doing on the road.

"When we first set out on the road, it was after autumn. There were many wild vegetables on the roadside after autumn, so we dug wild vegetables. Then sometimes we missed the post station and had to spend the night in the mountains and forests. We killed wolves, wild boars, and caught small rabbits, so, There’s meat too.”

"And my few loyal maids sent some rice and food along the way, so generally the food on this exile road is quite decent."

"Don't tell me that I, the Marquis, come from a noble family. The wild boar meat and wolf meat were all obtained with my own life."

When Shen Ru talked about this, his eyes were clear and contented.

"In that case, your whole family is living the life they are living now because of you."

Xiao Wujin said as if he meant something.

"Those who are able work hard. Since I can do this, I naturally want to protect my own people."

Shen Ru responded generously.

The two of them were talking wordlessly, and the night was already dark before they knew it.

Xiao Wujin felt that Shen Ru was unfounded. Isn't this nothing?
He wondered if Shen Ru couldn't stand the place of detention and came to sleep in his room?
"Shh!" Suddenly Shen Ru made a silent gesture.

"coming!"

After Shen Ru said this, the door was kicked open.

Facing them were three tall men wearing cloaks with their faces covered. They were shocked to see an additional woman in Xiao Wujin's room.

But then, three men rushed in, saying words that Shen Ru couldn't understand. Two of them rushed towards Xiao Wujin, and one of them stabbed Shen Ru directly with a knife.

"Look, I just said something is wrong. It's so quiet outside. The medicine must have knocked out other people."

Shen Ru pulled Xiao Wujin over with great speed, then raised his leg high and kicked down the knife that was hitting him.

Pointing his toes, the knife that fell to the ground was kicked away by Shen Ru, and then held in his own hand.

"Master Xiao, shine brightly, the sword has no eyes, don't be accidentally injured!"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru in shock as one against three, she was so skilled!
The three Fanbang killers were tall and mighty, but they were entangled by Shen Ru. The most annoying thing was that the other party used their knives to leave many wounds on their bodies.

In the fight, there will inevitably be damage, and all the tables and chairs in this room will suffer.

Xiao Wujin retreated again and again until he reached the corner of the bed.

When Cui Ti's guards heard the commotion and came over, they saw Shen Ru one against three.

"Miss Shen, let me help you!"

Cui Ti's guard Fang Jin shouted and joined the battle with a sword.

Upon seeing this, the three Fanbang killers retreated while fighting, and finally jumped out of the window and disappeared into the night.

"How are you going to repay me for saving my life?"

Shen Ru took the captured knife in his hand, turned around and smiled brightly at Xiao Wujin, and joked.

Xiao Wujin's heart skipped a beat, and his face looked a little strange, but then it returned to normal.

"I won't say thank you for your kindness. I'll talk about it later."

"Thank you to this brother for taking the initiative. It's so quiet outside. It seems that a lot of people have been tricked."

"The food must have been drugged. Since the murderer has retreated, I will go back!"

Fang Jin didn't say much and left neatly after speaking.

"This house can no longer be lived in, Mr. Xiao. It seems that you have to change rooms again."

Shen Ru smiled and said, "They were injured. They shouldn't come back tonight. I'm going back to my parents."

Hearing what Shen Ru said, Xiao Wujin looked at the mess in the room and the broken windows, and his face turned pale.

"Miss Shen, please do it yourself. I will choose a guest room that you can sleep in."

"Okay, I wish you sweet dreams!"

Shen Ru didn't drag himself around and walked very neatly.
