Chapter 45: A Glimmer of Hope
"Chase the dust...... Thanks a lot! Thanks to you when I was cornered, my kindness will never be forgotten. Candle Rain looked at Liang Chen gratefully.
Liangchen talked with her for a long time, and seeing that it was not too early, Liangchen thought that it was time to go back to Xuansi Palace, so he said goodbye to Candle Rain and left first.
Along the way, Chang Tao never kept talking idle, and always kept asking Liangchen who that person was and why he wanted to help her. Liangchen remembered that the last time she slipped out of the door, she left Changtao at home, and it was no wonder that she was unfamiliar with Candle Rain.
Liangchen didn't hide it from her, but just came one by one: "When I went out last time, I met her in Shaohuayuan at night."
"Shaohua...... Shaohua Yuan!? This Miss Candle Rain is ......" Changtao was surprised that Shaohuayuan was a well-known place in Lingcheng Fireworks Willow Lane, and this Changtao also knew it, so he naturally associated Candle Rain with the woman there.
Liang Chen knew that Chang Tao had misunderstood Candle Rain, and he corrected her misconceptions unhurriedly.
After returning to Liuli Pavilion, after Liangchen changed his clothes and made up, he sat at the table and sorted out his day's harvest today.
First of all, the capital is indeed more prosperous and lively than Lingcheng, so this is a good business opportunity, but it is too close to the palace, too close to the Xuansi Palace, and the identity is easy to be recognized. Second, there is a lot of foot traffic, which is geographically very urbanized, so the results will be relatively fast. Then she might as well come here to touch the water again after the wind and water in Lingcheng are booming, that is, to open a branch in the capital, which depends on whether she has the courage and confidence.
Third, how she found the right to enter and leave the mansion freely for herself is still a problem, and Liangchen can't think of it day and night, and she doesn't even have any thoughts. And now he has been brought to the Xuansi Mansion by Yan Jiusi, and he doesn't know when he can go back.
No, she can't sit still.
"Changtao, follow me to the prince." Liang Chen decided to go to Yan Jiusi and tell him that he wanted to return to the sect government, because he was homesick or worried about his family. After all, a boudoir lady, although she is a rude and rude lady with a reputation, no matter how bad she is, she will miss her relatives, not to mention that she was brought to the Xuansi Mansion on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Miss, I heard that the prince is not in the mansion today." Chang Tao replied.
Liangchen felt a little strange, why was it all like this, the sky was gradually shrouded in the brilliance of the sunset, usually he would come back after lunch after the morning court, and that was just because the military situation was a little urgent recently. She also asked Jinyu, and Jinyu said that if everything was normal, he would usually come back for lunch.
Now don't talk about lunch, Liangchen always can't see his people, except for the last time he saw him when he asked him to borrow money, he seemed to disappear again, just came back to sleep, and couldn't wait to live in the palace.
"In that case, go and tell your subordinates to prepare a carriage." Liangchen frowned and thought about it, since he couldn't see him, it was better not to see him, and he didn't have to see him so nervously that he didn't even know how to talk to him at that time.
Liangchen was also extremely helpless in her heart, every time she stayed by Yan Jiusi's side, she would faintly feel the invisible sense of oppression on him, so every time she talked to him, Liang Chen thought about it for several days or didn't choose what to say, and she said whatever came to her mind.
"Miss, where are you going?" After Chang Tao heard that he was going to prepare the carriage, he looked at the getting late this day, and he didn't know what Liangchen was doing, so he asked.
"I'm going home." Liang Chen said indifferently.
Changtao was a little surprised, some didn't understand how Liangchen finally got along with the prince at close range, why was he in such a hurry to go back? But seeing that their young lady's face was a little unpleasant, and he just said that the prince was not in the mansion today, he was probably losing his temper.
Changtao is really blind to Meng, Liangchen is indeed a little awkward in his heart, it stands to reason that this Yan Jiusi is a backer for her, and it may be her future dependence, but no matter how much she is afraid of him and respects him, she still feels that she has never existed in his eyes at all. Even though this may be a good thing for Liang Chen, Liang Chen is unfortunately a Scorpio, and she has tried to restrain her somewhat arrogant sensibility a lot, and she is still a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Because she also thought that if she really married Yan Jiusi like this, the stunning man who was in the moonlight that day gently and generously let go of himself who was careless and eavesdropping, maybe it would not be a bad thing, after all, if there is a beautiful man in the family, it is also an essential requirement of modern women.
But she has now dispelled this idea, this kind of beautiful man is not at home all day long, and when the time comes, she will have a group of side concubines and concubines, then her career will not be too miserable. So she was completely dead to this thought.
"Miss...... The night is getting thicker, and I'm afraid it's a little dangerous to go back now, and I'm afraid that the gate of Lingcheng will be closed, so let's leave again tomorrow. Changtao also knew that she couldn't stop Liangchen's desire to go back, she found that Liangchen was becoming more and more determined, and rarely changed her mind after making a decision, which was completely different from her who listened to her before, and it was also a characteristic of Liangchen that Changtao felt. So she simply didn't stop it, and obeyed all of Liangchen's arrangements, but it was really inappropriate to go back at night.
After hearing this, Liangchen also felt reasonable, it was really inappropriate for her to be in the city defense barracks at night without a token and someone she didn't know.
"Well, tell me to get up tomorrow, and I'll wash up with you and go back to the sect government. By the way, since I can't see the prince's people, then you can ask the people around the prince to inform the prince about our return to the house on the next day, and thank him for his hospitality in the past few days. Liangchen thought about it for a while, it would be better to find someone to say to Yan Jiusi on her behalf first, and the basic etiquette should still be there.
"Yes, slave and maid will do it." Changtao knew that Liangchen was an urgent child, so she didn't wait much, so she ordered herself to do it immediately. This is also what she has carefully explored in the past few months.
After Liangchen nodded, Chang Tao went out of the door to inform Yan Jiusi.
Liang Chen sat alone in the room, took out the paper he was almost found last time and spread it out on the table, and continued to think about how to take the next step. Her eyes suddenly noticed the money bag in the corner of the table, which was the silver she asked Yan Jiusi to borrow. Originally, there was still a lot of silver that had not been spent, and Liang Chen forgot to let Changtao go and return it to Yan Jiusi.
But she thought about it again, and wanted to return half of it, was there something wrong? Spending his money for his own benefit in vain, will it be considered a debt to him at that time? Looking at his meticulous planning and thoughtfulness, will he also be a careful person?
Wouldn't it be better to return to the sect government and fill it up, and return it to him if there is a fate next time? yes, that's better. So Liangchen put away the money bag and decided to return it to Yan Jiusi when it was full next time.
Speaking of returning to the Zong Government, two figures suddenly flashed in Liang Chen's mind - Chang Mo and Chang Xi.
Liang Chen also saw that their sister and brother were pitiful before they were admitted to the mansion, they are the subordinates who serve her in the mansion, so naturally they will go in and out of the mansion if they have something, even if they don't go through the gate, the sect government still has so many back doors that can not be noticed.
Now she has a glimmer of hope.
