Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 53
"Girl... how could you offend the crown prince?" Chu Rui was so frightened that she even stuttered.

Seeing Ning Qing's blank and stubborn face, Tong'er dared not persuade her.He took out his handkerchief, wanting Ning Qing to cover his face.

Ning Qing lost her temper with Song Zhuo just now because of the distance and etiquette, and Tong'er came out like this, and immediately gave Tong'er a look.

Tong'er's small face froze: "There are the most dandies in the capital, so it's better for girls to be careful."

Ning Qing came to her senses, she always knew how good her appearance was!She took out her gauze scarf from her sleeve, but she didn't catch her pupils.Tonger is from Song Zhuo.

Ning Qing walked around the street twice and decided to find an inn for the night.

Chu Rui and Tong'er turned pale with shock, Tong'er couldn't speak, Chu Rui said: "Girl, it's dangerous for us girls to spend the night outside, we'd better go home!"

Ning Qing's small face sank: "Chenwang Mansion is not my home, my home is not here!"

Tong'er was in a hurry, and was about to persuade her, but Ning Qing had already snarled her: "Where did you come from and go back to where you came from! Don't follow me!"

Tong'er's face turned paler, but she didn't dare to be wronged, because she was indeed Song Zhuo's person, and she was still facing Song Zhuo so far.

Ning Qing took Chu Rui and left quickly.

Chu Rui had a mournful face: "Girl...the money is all with Tonger!"

Hearing this, Ning Qing pulled out a red gold hairpin inlaid with emeralds from her head, and asked Chu Rui to pawn it, only getting 300 taels of silver.Including some broken silver on Chu Rui's body, it was less than 400 taels.

Ning Qing found a small inn, the kind that ordinary people live in.But the prices in Shanghai are extremely high, and it is close to the imperial palace, so it costs 100 taels a night.

Ning Qing spread all the broken silver on the bed one by one, Chu Rui was so anxious that she hid aside and cried, the girl really wants to go back to Yuecheng, right?
Ning Qing really wanted to go back to Yuecheng. Although the chances were slim, she might really be able to go back!

Maybe that anger made her cruel, so he let her go?

It was late at night, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street.

A slender and tall figure stood at the corner of the street and looked at the inn from a distance, silent, the silver moonlight seemed to have cast a layer of frost on his body.

Qingfeng stood by, and he wanted to persuade Song Zhuo to go back, but thinking of what happened to Qinghe today, he dared not say a word.

Today, as soon as Biao girl left, Shizi asked someone to follow her.After the son returned home, he didn't say a word. Although he didn't speak, Qingfeng, who had followed him since he was a child, could tell at a glance that he was anxious.When he learned that the cousin would not come home, Shizi became even more silent, and went out in the middle of the night, and stood here for almost an hour.

Qingfeng was very worried. He felt that his master was too concerned about this woman, which was not a good thing.

"Let Zhao Zheliang take the Jingwei Army to patrol here a few more times, Qingying and Qinghu take four people to stay here."

Song Zhuo turned and left, the night wind was blowing, making his fine clothes sway, his beautiful handsome face was covered with a layer of cold frost, and his sharp eyes were flickering.

……

The next day, Ning Qing took Chu Rui to buy two sets of men's clothes, and smeared a handful of ashes on her face, like a country boy.Looking at each other, the two felt very novel, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

It took a long time to find a place to rent a carriage. Who knew that Chu Rui cried as soon as she reached out her pocket: "The money bag is gone! It seems to be lost!"

Ning Qing's face turned dark on the spot, and she and Chu Rui searched all the way back along the road. They searched twice, but they couldn't find it anywhere, let alone whether it was really lost, even if it was really lost, they would be picked up , how can there be so many people who don't lose money in this world!

Ning Qing took out the earrings that she took off from her bosom, it was only red gold, small and exquisite, although the style was novel, but it was too light after all, so Chu Rui pawned it for only five taels of silver.

It is impossible to rent a carriage for five taels of silver, but there are two donkey carts willing to carry it. They are a farm couple.

After finally getting out of the city gate, halfway there, the wheel of the cart broke suddenly with a "click", and the farmer couple yelled that it was unlucky, and let the donkey graze on the side, while the couple repaired the wheel.

Ning Qing stood blankly on the boulder at one side. The donkey who was grazing quietly neighed suddenly and ran away. The couple was so anxious that they cried and shouted for their mother while chasing.

Ning Qing stood there blankly and waited for nearly half an hour, but the couple still didn't come back.

Chu Rui sat on the ground and cried, "It must be that the donkey can't come back. The two of them are afraid to pay us five taels of silver back, so they won't come back! Woooooo, girl, what should I do? Girl, this is the outskirts of the city. , there will be no one at night! It’s very dangerous! Before it’s dark and the city gates are open, let’s go back quickly! Let’s hurry up, we should be there in half an hour!”

After speaking, he pulled Ning Qing back.

Since Ning Qing came here, she has never run so much. Her feet are so tired and sore that they don't seem to be hers!The pain was so painful that her heart was tearing, and she couldn't stop crying!
"It's the time of day, the city gates must be closed!" Chu Rui looked at the sky and said desperately.She was also so tired that she almost fell to the ground, and she didn't even have the strength to cry.

Although Chu Rui was desperate, she didn't want to stay in this place any longer, she still walked forward, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Girl, the city gate is still open, there is fire!"

As he spoke, he dragged Ning Qing towards the city gate.

It is usually closed at this hour, but it is not closed today!

As he got closer, he saw a dozen or so people outside the city gate, Song Zhuo was standing there with a radiant face and a sassy demeanor.

"Senior!" Chu Rui wept with joy, she didn't even bother the girl spent the night outside, Chu Rui thought Song Zhuo didn't want Ning Qing anymore!Seeing Song Zhuo now, Chu Rui couldn't be happier!

Ning Qing clutched her chest and panted heavily, looking up at Song Zhuo.

Song Zhuo was also looking at her, and stretched out his hand to her: "Hey, come here!"

Ning Qing only felt the pain in her feet that had been able to support her walking so that she could no longer stand still, she staggered and fell to the ground, tears fell from the pain, but she still didn't want to cry.

Song Zhuo finally couldn't help it, walked over, picked her up, and hugged her into her arms.
