In the last year of the Yuan Court, the twenty-fourth year of Yuanfeng in Southern Chu. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In late autumn and early winter, a major event occurred in Nanchu that shook the world during this year. Spending thousands of dollars, mobilizing 10,000 people, and taking three years to Xinghai Yuelou in just three months, sailed twice, once had to return to Dongzi in the event of a storm, and went to sea smoothly for the second time, but there was a sudden strange situation.

I don't know who died, just anchored a hundred meters from the shore, the bottom of the ship burst, the sea water seeped in, hundreds of people were killed, although the best efforts to remedy, but it is undeniable that the Xinghai Moon Tower, this unprecedented giant ship jointly built by the Xingyue family and the Southern Chu royal family, was destroyed in Dongzi.

When the accident occurred in Xinghai Yuelou, the crown prince of Southern Chu was watching with the black feather iron horseman, but unexpectedly, the accident occurred, and thick smoke flew out of the ship, and at a glance, it was known that someone set fire to the ship to cause damage to the huge ship.

In a hurry, the prince ordered dozens of ships, using steel cables as ropes, to drag Xinghai Yuelou to the coast, and ordered people to strictly investigate this disaster, and it was bound to catch the arsonist.

When this major event had not spread throughout the Central Plains Continent, another major event occurred in Dongzi on the same day - the imperial felons who were ordered by Emperor Yuan Jing to be imprisoned were rescued by the traitor Long clan and the famous killer organization Yunwu on the eve of the accident in Xinghai Yuelou and successfully escaped from Dongzi. General Long Wei sealed the city and arrested him unsuccessfully, allowing the traitors to escape.

At the same time, the third rumor, which is not big or small, quietly reached the ears of the wealthy businessmen and nobles in Dongzi, flowing like a drizzle, quietly changing a big change in the situation.

It is said that Mr. Jiang, the founder of the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce, has been found more than four months ago, and Mr. Jiang is overjoyed, but unfortunately, the newly recognized granddaughter is not biological. After Mr. Jiang found out, he was very angry, although this kind of ugly thing was suppressed, but Dongzi was rich and noble, and it was inevitable that there would be wind and omission, so this matter unconsciously spread to many powerful people's homes, and many people discussed it in private.

As the saying goes, good things don't spread to the outside world, and bad things spread thousands of miles.

Soon, half of the city knew about this ugly incident.

Xiaoxue, as the "fake granddaughter" in the scandal, did not know when she returned to the garden. When she and Liu Changnan returned to the "Three Places" East Garden, Lao Jiang's garden, as soon as they arrived at the Frost and Snow Courtyard, Lao Jiang rushed out of the house and cried for a while. Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment, looked back at Liu Changnan, and asked what the situation was.

Liu Changnan passed by the two of them expressionlessly, paced into the house, and didn't say anything.

"What the hell is going on? Anan, you haven't spoken since you gave the carriage back to your words and deeds. Xiao Xue Xiumei frowned, followed into the house, and cried "Miss" despite Lao Jiang behind her.

One foot has just stepped into the threshold, and the other foot can't lift it.

"What is this for?" she watched as a group of maids in her room scrambled about, making a mess of her room.

Liu Changnan only opened his mouth at this time to reply to her words: "I think of the back road, pack up your things and leave Dongzi." ”

"Didn't you say that you came back to deal with the aftermath?

"It's been cleaned up. Liu Changnan walked past the busy maid, walked straight to the table and chair in the room, and sat down quietly.

Xiao Xue glared, and as soon as she opened her mouth to ask something, Lao Jiang behind her pinched a handful of tears and ran out to answer: "Liu Gongzi has long thought about Miss's back path, and before you went out last night, Liu Gongzi asked me to secretly spread the news that you are my 'fake granddaughter', so that it is convenient for you to leave, and it will also make some people suspicious and have nowhere to investigate." ”

Fake granddaughter....... Xiaoxue was confused, scratched her head and thought for a moment, and then she suddenly woke up. "Oh, you let people spread out that I and Lao Jiang were 'granddaughters' before, and said that it was false, so that the relationship between Lao Jiang and us would be cleared up, and it would be difficult for the emperor to find trouble with him when they came to the door, right?"

Liu Changnan nodded slightly, and said softly: "You have no relationship with Jiang Lao in the first place, and you acted in the name of the Miss of the Gold and Silver Chamber of Commerce in order to cover up your identity, but now that we are involved in the Long family, Nan Chu is afraid that he will not be able to stay any longer, so before returning to Dayin, I will clear up the relationship between you and Jiang Lao, so that Jiang Lao will not be implicated by us." ”

"I see. Xiaoxue shook her head, smiled and leaned in front of Lao Jiang, who was still crying, and joked: "Why are you still cry.......ing? Are you reluctant to let us go?"

"The young lady and the eldest lady have the grace of reinvention for me, and save me from the time of trouble. It is my honor to be able to do things for Miss this time. Miss....... You ran away like this, the little old man failed to take care of you, I, I, I'm sorry for the eldest lady!"

Liu Changnan's face froze, and he was dumbfounded.

Xiaoxue is also messy for a while. Why did she think that Lao Jiang didn't feel like she was saying goodbye, but like she was apologizing to someone.

"Ugh....... .......After a long while, she found her voice and said weakly: "Can you not cry? Don't you want us to leave Dongzi quickly, why did you toss my house?"

Jiang Lao wiped away his tears and replied, "Isn't Miss going back to Dayin?" It's a long way to go, so you have to pack your luggage as soon as possible. ”

Xiaoxue squinted at the maids who were busy stuffing various daily necessities into large bags, and sighed deeply. Really, she's just going back to Dayin, is it worth exaggerating like that? Who would carry a big bag when they go out, Lao Jiang, are you sure it's just luggage packing and not the whole house is going to be stuffed in?

"Okay, okay, we don't need so many things, carrying them will only delay time. Keep it simple, just bring some change of clothes and dry food, and decorate me with some money by the way, money is king, and you won't starve to death halfway. Xiao Xue said as she snatched the burden from the hand of the maid who was stuffing the winter padded jacket, neatly hollowed out the things inside, put them on the table casually, and instructed Lao Jiang: "Fill the bag with money, and we will leave immediately." ”

Liu Changnan raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you afraid of encountering robbers on the way?"

Lao Jiang's eyes were dull, the focus of his eyes was a little scattered, and he couldn't say a word.
