Chapter 73 The government has a reward for this person

"Auntie, Heroine, please let me go, you've wiped out all my foundation."

"Look at you like this, you dare to harm other girls' families. If it weren't for me today, I don't know who has been ruined by you. I don't think you are a tool for committing crimes anymore."

Shen Ru played with the newly acquired flying knife, his eyes fell on the lower body of the flower picker, and he said playfully.

"No, help, help!"

The flower picker looked down at Shen Ru's knife, suddenly his body trembled and he shouted in horror.

The door suddenly opened again, it was Luneng with a serious face.

"I remembered, the government has a reward of 200 taels for this person, thank you Miss Shen!"

With that said, Luneng stepped forward and took away the flower picker and the chair.

Shen Ru, who was holding a flying knife, was stunned on the spot. What, this is how Xiao Wujin and his servant make money?

This was related to a man's self-esteem. Shen Ru didn't ask any more questions, and it wasn't like he didn't benefit from it.

"It's better to hand over these women's jewelry as stolen goods."

Looking at the things he found, Shen Ru thought about it and went to the next door.

"Hey, Master Lu, could it be that he sent someone to the government overnight?"

Seeing that Xiao Wujin was the only one, Shen Ru asked.

"Yes, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Wujin asked nervously, "You gave me the money just now. I will not give it back to you."

Shen Rumah paused for a moment. Although she had realized that Xiao Wujin was poor, she didn't expect him to be so... um...

"That's right, these are the stolen items found on him. I won't keep them. Mr. Xiao, you can handle them yourself!"

Shen Ru gave the jewelry to Xiao Wujin and left quickly. She was afraid that Xiao Wujin would ask her for money!

The next day, Shen Ru was going back to the exile team. Out of politeness, she still wanted to say something to Xiao Wujin.

"Guest, are you looking for the guest next door? They checked out early in the morning."

The waiter happened to come over and saw Shen Ru knocking on the door, so he kindly reminded him.

Shen Ru was surprised, didn't he say he would stay in Baishui City for a few more days?
"Oh, thanks!"

After the waiter thanked him, Shen Ru went back to his room, packed his things and left the inn.

There are no officials blocking the city gate anymore, and people are allowed to pass.

Shen Ru saw some shops open and bought some more things.

"Miss Shen!"

Suddenly hearing a familiar voice, Shen Ru turned around and saw that it was Cui Ti's bodyguard Fang Jin and her maid Jade.

"Miss Shen, it's really you. Why are you in Baishui City?"

Fang Jin was extremely surprised. They had been trapped in Baishui City for two days and had no idea how Shen Ru got in.

"Oh, I came in to do some errands, and I'm about to go back. Let's come together!"

Shen Ru replied, "Something happened to your lady while you were away. I don't know if it has been resolved."

"What do you mean, in the middle of your words, are you cursing our lady?"

Before Shen Ru finished speaking, Jade choked.

"Emerald!"

Fang Jin had a good impression of Shen Ru. Now that he saw Shen Ru's refreshing appearance, she looked even more pretty, and he became even more excited.

"It's just that a thief attacked the horse, accidentally destroyed your lady's carriage, and robbed your lady to the mountain. Hey, I was the one who meddleed in my own business and rescued the person. What's wrong? I can't say anything about it?"

Shen Ru glanced at Jade lightly and said directly.

"Is the lady injured? How is she now?"

Jade asked anxiously upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Miss Shen, for your help."

However, Fang Jin immediately thanked him and said, "It's getting late, let's go out of the city together!" Shen Ru left with Fang Jin without even looking at Jade.

"You..." Jade, who was ignored, stamped her feet angrily, but had to follow the two of them.

There were so many people leaving the city that the officers and soldiers no longer guarded them, but they still had to maintain order. It took an hour just to leave the city. By the time they returned to the post station outside the city, it was already noon.

Chen Qing happened to be handing over to the short-term official sent by the state government. He was relieved to see Shen Ru come back. To be honest, he was really afraid that Shen Ru would run away.

"Now that we're back, let's go gather and set off soon!"

"Okay, Master Chen."

Shen Ru brought a bag of things and went back to find his parents obediently.

Soon, the team set off. In the carriage, Shen Ru's family happily drank water, chewed pastries, and listened to Shen Ru talk about things in the city.

"Why did you meet that Mr. Xiao again? Ah Ru, has he provoked a bad person? You'd better try not to have contact with him in the future."

Mother Shen thought about what happened in the canyon and said worriedly.

"Mom, I am an official and we are prisoners. There are some things that I cannot decide."

Shen Ru did not tell her about her deal with Xiao Wujin, and just made an excuse: "It will be good for us in Liangzhou to make more friends in the future."

"Sister, Aru is so capable, we have to believe in Aru."

Aunt Lian had a good impression of Xiao Wujin.

"That Mr. Xiao is handsome, not very old, and I don't know if he has a wife at home. We Aru..."

"Stop, stop, aunt, what are you talking about!"

Shen Ru couldn't laugh or cry, "Don't get me involved with him, he is an official of the imperial court."

"What's wrong with the court official? We, Aru, are missing?"

Aunt Lian didn't think so.

"He's good-looking, but I'm also worried that Aru won't be able to be his wife when he gets married. Hey, to be honest, I hope I can find someone with an innocent family background in Liangzhou. It doesn't matter if my family is poor, as long as I can marry him directly."

Shen's mother said worriedly, and Shen Yan agreed with her words.

"Yes, we, Ah Ru, want to find a son-in-law, but Master Xiao can't do that!"

Shen Ru was speechless, why was her marriage suddenly involved?
"Stop, stop, stop, this is getting too far."

Shen Ru shouted: "I hope nothing will happen again in the future."

For example, there is a warm family scene on Shen Ru's side, but the atmosphere on Cui Ti's side is a bit awkward.

The carriage was new and not as spacious and luxurious as his own. Jade started to complain as soon as he got on the carriage.

"Miss, Shen Ru said that you were kidnapped by thieves, and she rescued you. This means she saved you, so what's the point of talking about it?"

"She is too ostentatious. She is leisurely shopping in Baishui City. She does not look like a refugee. Who knows what benefits she has given to the officials behind her back."

In the carriage, there were Mrs. Pei and Pei Chongguang, so Jade just ignored them and said something wrong with Shen Ru in front of Cui Ti.

Cui Ti was a little embarrassed. She treated Feicui like a sister, and she also liked Feicui's outspokenness and loyalty.

But Jade's words at this moment undoubtedly made her look embarrassed.

"Jade, Shen Ru really saved me."

Cui Ti said, "You are trapped in Baishui City. I also paid her to go to the city to find you, but she didn't agree."

"Then why is she in the city?"

Jade asked immediately.

"Maybe Mr. Chen gave me some benefit, Jade, don't mention this matter again."

Cui Ti warned, "Old madam, I'm sorry, Jade has been unable to hide things, making you laugh!"

"Ok!"

Mrs. Pei responded noncommittally, with no emotion audible.
