The eldest lady just wants to be a crazy beauty

Chapter 38

Jiang Guo.Kyoto.Gao Yang.

A few miles away from Kyoto outside the city, a carriage was driving slowly, neither fast nor slow.

It was already early summer, and there were four people crammed into the small carriage. It was crowded and closed, and the slightest movement would make you sweat.

Gao Lingzhou opened the car curtain and stuck his head out of the car. He looked at the scenery outside the city and the green fields. He was already a little impatient. "Mom, dad, how long until we get to Kyoto?"

Gao Jinying opened the curtain and took a look. This was an official road outside Kyoto City. At the end was the Kyoto City Gate. "We're almost there, about an hour."

"Ah? There's still another hour?" Gao Lingzhou was immediately discouraged, "Can you hurry up? My waist is almost falling apart after riding in the carriage for several days."

Gao Jinying glanced at her, his face suddenly darkened, and he was about to have an attack.

Gao Lingchu saw his father's expression was not so good, and hurriedly helped to smooth things over, "A Zhou, an hour goes by very quickly. Just close your eyes, sleep for a while, and you'll be there when you wake up."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Gao Lingzhou muttered, then leaned on his sister's shoulder and closed his eyes.

The carriage suddenly became quiet.

After a while, there was a sudden burst of horses neighing and hooves raised, causing the carriage to tilt to the side. The four people in the carriage were immediately thrown onto their backs.

Gao Jinying was the first to react. He opened the curtain and saw a group of people galloping away.

There were about ten people in the group. They were all dressed in long black clothes and felt hats. Their faces could not be seen clearly. They carried weapons behind them and waved long whips as they galloped away, as if they were rushing to catch up on important matters.

"The officials outside the capital dare to be so arrogant. I don't know where they come from."

Gao Jinying was slanderous in his heart, but he didn't delve into it.

It has been more than twenty years since he was demoted to Puzhou. The situation in Kyoto has been treacherous and unpredictable.The last time I went back to Beijing, I took Heli's sister to Puzhou, and I haven't been here since.

Over the years, the brothers have rarely seen each other, and I don’t know what it will be like when they meet now.

Perhaps, returning to Kyoto is not a good choice.

He sighed slightly, lowered the car curtain, raised his hand to help the struggling wife up, and then the couple comforted their shocked daughter.

An hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the capital city. The majestic city gate stood there like a god, indicating its extraordinary status.

As soon as they entered the city, the Gao sisters couldn't restrain their curiosity. They opened the curtain and looked around at everything in the city.

At this moment, a man in a brown linen gown came up to him and stopped the carriage, "Are they the fourth master and his wife who have returned from Puzhou? The younger one is the housekeeper of the Gaofu family. They came to pick up the fourth master and his wife on the order of the uncle. Go back home."

Gao Jinying heard the familiar voice and hurriedly opened the car curtain. The person who came was a little older, and his cheeks were already covered with white hair, but he still looked vaguely young.

"Is it Brother Changling? It's actually you? Oops, time really doesn't forgive anyone. The last time I came back, you were still my eldest brother's guard, and now you have become the butler of the Gao Mansion."

Gao Changling bowed deeply and said, "The old housekeeper is in poor health and has retired to his hometown. Thanks to the uncle's trust, I have been allowed to be the housekeeper of the Gao family. Just now, the two ladies raised the curtain and were able to see the fourth master. The fourth master and Madam, you’ve had a hard journey, please come with me.”

"I still know the road to Gaofu. Let's go back by ourselves."

Gao Jinying jumped out of the carriage, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gao Changling, "This is a letter written by Ruizhi to her brother. Please help me deliver it to you, Brother Changling."

"Miss Cousin's letter must be delivered as soon as possible. Then I will deliver the letter to Young Master Cousin first, and I will let Fourth Master and Madam go back on their own."

Gao Changling took the letter, said goodbye to Gao Jinying and his wife, and went to the Qin Mansion to deliver the letter.Gao Jinying took the opposite direction and returned to Gaofu.

Returning to Gaofu, I met my brother and sister-in-law, unloaded my luggage, and Gao Changling also came back, still holding the letter from Gao Jinying in his hand.

Then he brought news that shocked everyone: "Young Master Biao is not in Kyoto. I heard from people in the Qin Mansion that he seems to have lost money and went out to hide from debts."

Qin Ruizhi couldn't wait for a reply from Kyoto for a long time, and Governor Yan also avoided seeing him.

The plan failed and now he is still behind bars.

The only good news is probably that her arson case has been suppressed and has not been tried in court.

During this period, Xiao Nian visited her once and gave her a thin quilt to make her comfortable on the haystack.

As for her mother, she still treated her as if she didn't exist, and didn't ask or ignore her.

"Hey, what kind of mother is this? He Li Gui He Li, the child was born in ten months of pregnancy. How can he remain motionless and turn a blind eye."

Qin Ruizhi didn't quite understand.

Of course, compared to his mother, Gao Zhiying, his own father was not a good thing. He had ignored him for more than ten years, but he had been his supervisor. It was really shameless and despicable.

"When I return to Kyoto, I will definitely go to the Qin family first to see what kind of despicable and shameless man he is, who can force his pregnant wife to divorce, and then turn his back on the daughter he gave birth to."

"Most of the ruthless and shameless men in the world are the same."

Qin Ruizhi put her hands on the back of her head and sighed deeply: "Go back to Kyoto, go back to Kyoto, it's so smart that you are misled by your cleverness!"

Then he sat up again and called to the prison guard through the iron fence.

In the past few days, she secretly stuffed a hundred taels of silver note into the cell head, and the cell head obeyed her every word. Except that he could not let her out of the prison, everything else was easy to say.

"Brother, do me a favor, run an errand, go to the Pei family and ask when will I be let out? If Pei Xingheng is polite, tell him that as long as he lets me out, I will reciprocate and help him ask for a loan from the Pei family. It's a debt to go out. If Pei Xingheng gets into trouble, tell him that when I go out, I will burn down his Pei family mansion."

Every time Qin Ruizhi does something for her, Qin Ruizhi will give her a small reward, and the prison boss is willing to run errands for Qin Ruizhi.

After the cell leader took over, he changed into regular clothes and went to Pei Mansion.

When I was approaching Pei's house, I felt so happy thinking about the reward Qin Ruizhi was about to give me, and even hummed a ditty.

Not far away, someone approached him to explore the way: "Hello, brother, how can I get to Pei Mansion?"

The old man looked at the person in front of him. He was wearing a black brocade gown, leather boots, and holding a long sword. He looked like a young man from a wealthy family, and he hurriedly replied: "What are you asking about the Pei family?"

The man replied: "My master traveled with the caravan and lost contact with his family for a long time. Recently I heard that he lives in the Pei family in Puzhou. On the order of my wife, I came to welcome my master home."

The prison boss remembered that there was a young master living in the Pei family, who was regarded as a close friend by Pei Xingheng. It was said that he was born in a noble family in Kyoto.

Nowadays, looking at the servants all dressed up in rich and elegant manners, the big family is indeed extraordinary.
