Ning Chen loves his wife

Chapter 242
There were only Zhuo Ran and Zhuo Nan in the carriage, and Zhuo Ran's attention was naturally on Zhuo Nan.Seeing that she was frowning tightly and her expression changed, she asked in puzzlement, "Why is Sister Nan so preoccupied?"

Zhuo Nan looked at Zhuo Ran displeasedly, but did not answer.They shouldn't be traveling with the Fifth Prince.

The third prince is dead, and in the eyes of outsiders, the prince's serious illness is equivalent to being deposed.Only the second prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince are left.

The Fifth Prince, who never traveled with a guard before, unexpectedly brought so many guards with him to Lianruo Temple today, which shows that the situation is grim.

I am afraid that the journey back and forth will not be peaceful!
"Is there any explanation for going up the mountain this time?" She could only change the subject, there was no need to remind Zhuo Ran who wanted to get involved in the vortex of struggle.

"Naturally. Ever since I was a child, my mother only had sister Ya in her eyes. When she learned that we were going to Lianruo Temple, why didn't she explain it? She had already prepared a lot of living expenses for her, and they were all placed on the carriage that Banxia and the others were riding in. .”

When Zhuo Ran thought of Zhuo Nan leaving, she didn't seem to have prepared anything, so she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you prepare for Sister Ya?"

"A pile of dung."

"?????" Zhuo Ran was confused, and it took him a long time to realize that the pile of dung in Zhuo Nan's mouth might be a bank note. "Sister Ya is already a monk. Sister Nan, it's not appropriate for you to prepare a bank note for her."

Zhuo Nan smiled, noncommittal.

An hour later, the carriage arrived at the foot of Lianruo Temple Mountain.

There is no way to get on the carriage, and people can only get on the carriage on foot, or take a sedan chair and be carried up the mountain.

So besides their carriage, there were more than a dozen carriages of various types parked at the foot of the mountain.

Many servants, who had rested near the carriage and followed, waited in place.Wait for the master to burn the incense and admire the chrysanthemums before returning home together.

Seeing the carriage of the prime minister's mansion and the fifth prince, he immediately drove his own carriage aside to make room for them.

As soon as the carriage stopped, I heard the groom say; we have reached the foot of the mountain.Zhuo Ran impatiently stepped on the groom's back and got out of the carriage.

When Zhuo Nan got out of the carriage slowly, he saw that the fifth prince and Jing Rong had already got off the carriage and came over.

The Fifth Prince waved his hand, and most of the guards with knives dispersed instantly, leaving only two guards with knives to follow.On the surface he couldn't see anyone, but Zhuo Nan knew very well that he was hiding in the dark.

The fifth prince came over, looked at Zhuo Ran and Zhuo Nan in a gentle manner, and offered a suggestion; "It's rare to go out for a visit, how about we walk up the mountain? On the way up the mountain, the scenery is beautiful, and it would be a pity to miss it."

Jing Rong's cold eyes fell on Zhuo Nan.Seeing that she was not much different from her usual attire, it formed a stark contrast with Zhuo Ran who was standing next to her in full attire.

The first thing people noticed at first sight was Zhuo Ran, who was so beautiful and glamorous, but after a second look, they would be attracted by Zhuo Nan who was overpowering her.

Jing Rong's eyes were too focused and hot, Zhuo Nan couldn't help it, pretended to ignore him, looked at the fifth prince and said casually; "My feet are not bad, but I'm just worried that sister Ran is too delicate and expensive to walk."

When Zhuo Ran heard that she was going to walk up the mountain, she raised her head and looked at the winding and rugged mountain road ahead. The temple on the top of the mountain was looming, and she felt dizzy for a while.

Since she was a child, she has been learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, or being a female celebrity, and she seldom goes out of the house, let alone walking up the mountain!
Originally, I expected that a lazy person like Zhuo Nan would not agree to refute the fifth prince's proposal, but I didn't expect her to agree!

The hatred for her in my heart has increased by one point!She put on a smile and said, "Sister Nan can do it, so can I." You must not be looked down upon by the Fifth Prince and compared to Zhuo Nan!
The fifth prince saw through the reluctance in Zhuo Ran's beautiful eyes, but pretended not to see it.Looking at Jing Rong with a smile, "Let's go up the mountain." On the way here just now, the weather was calm, but now he deliberately walks in order to use his body as a bait to set a trap, waiting for the other party to fall into the net.

How could Zhuo Ran ruin his plan because of a little girl!
Quancai leads the way.Next came the Fifth Prince and Jing Rong.

Zhuo Nan and Zhuo Ran followed closely behind them, then Xin Yi and Ban Xia, and finally two guards with knives.

As for Qian Momo, the coachman and others, they stayed at the foot of the mountain to guard the carriage.

Zhuo Nan saw that Jing Rong and the Fifth Prince who were walking in front were chatting and laughing, just like they were going up the mountain to play, very recklessly.And Zhuo Ran, who was next to her, took one step, looked at three steps, and kept staring at her feet, for fear of getting any dirt.

Zhuo Nan looked away and looked at the passing scenery along the way.

Autumn is coming, and many leaves are yellow, but on both sides of the road up the mountain, there is a maple leaf forest deliberately planted, which is very prosperous and festive, making people forget the existence of autumn.

Today's weather is fine, the autumn air is crisp, and it is a good weather for traveling.

Looking up to the front, the winding and rugged mountain road has no end in sight.

There are many small stones on the road. If they don't pay attention, they will hurt their feet when they only wear cloth shoes with embroidered uppers.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Zhuo Ran's feet were pierced by uneven stones many times, his face was pale, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. It looked like he had worked hard.

Zhuo Nan used to walk more than 20 miles on the mountain road to deliver meals to his adoptive father and brothers who were working in the farmland, so he made preparations before coming here.

The clothes are light, and there is only one hairpin on the head, and the cloth shoes with two layers of soles on the feet, even if the feet are pierced by small stones, they will not feel pain.

Unlike Zhuo Ran who dressed up in fancy dress, the weight of the jewelry and the inconvenience of the dress were enough for her to suffer.

So after walking for more than a quarter of an hour, Zhuo Ran couldn't hold on any longer, but Zhuo Nan just felt a little tired.

Zhuo Ran anxiously looked up at the mountain road ahead, and found that the mountain road was long and seemed to have no end. He didn't know how long it would take to walk to reach the top of the mountain. He immediately regretted it, and shouldn't be brave!
Out of the corner of his eye, he peeked at Zhuo Nan who was also walking beside him, seeing her walking lightly, with a ruddy complexion, as if she was very relaxed and happy, and felt even more resentful.

Inadvertently, I stepped on a small stone.

"Oh!" This time it was a sharp stone, which hurt the soles of the feet.

Zhuo Ran screamed and fell to the ground.

Seeing everyone stop in their tracks for an instant and turn their heads to look at her, with tears in their eyes, they struggled to get up in grievance.

But he found that the soles of his feet were really hurting, and he looked to Zhuo Nan beside him for help, hoping that she could help him up.

The Fifth Prince heard Zhuo Ran's exclamation, turned around and saw her fall to the ground.Mei Mou looked at Zhuo Nan's pitiful appearance with tears in his eyes, which aroused pity.

Zhuo Nan, on the other hand, watched with cold eyes, indifferent.

Before he could come forward, Ban Xia who was beside Xin Yi rushed to Zhuo Ran's side and helped her up. "Miss, are you alright?" Her eyes showed concern and her voice was anxious.
