Chapter Eighty-Four: Back to Chen's Mansion

At this time, the entire convoy and the crowd were in a state of hustle and bustle. Chen Rongchao glanced left and right, and when he saw that no one noticed his part, he jumped out of the carriage and squeezed into the crowd two or three times.

She was nimble, drilled around, easily let go of the crowd, and ran in the direction where Chen's mansion was.

At this moment, all the people were pouring in the direction where Wang Hong was, Chen Rong did the opposite, it was easy to walk, and after a while, she came to South Street.

Walking here, the whole world fell silent.

Looking at this familiar street, Chen Rong, who had escaped death, looked left and right, only feeling that everything was so familiar and so beautiful.

After she walked past a few of her own shops with closed doors, she saw from a distance that one of them had its door wide open. This store is a shop for rouge and gouache, and there are pink and colored veils everywhere, and the counters made of mahogany are painted with bright paint.

Chen Rong walked in quickly.

Guarding the shop was a tall, thin, young servant of twenty-seven or eighteen. When he saw Chen Rong coming to the 'door', he hurriedly greeted him and smiled politely: "This Lang Jun 。。。。。。 ”

At this moment, Chen Rong took off his gauze hat and 'revealed' his face.

The young servant was stunned for a moment, and in a blink of an eye exclaimed in surprise: "'Girl', 'girl' Lang"

Chen Rong looked at him and smiled, "It's me, don't be so 'excited'." ”

The young servant wiped the moist corners of his eyes with his sleeve and said in a trembling voice: "We are worried day and night, the news from Moyang City is getting more and more tragic day by day, and the slave is really scared. ”

Chen Rong was impatient, she nodded nonsense, and asked, "What about Pingyu?" She can 'show up' now. ”

"Yes, yes." The young servant hurriedly said, "The slave went and called her." ”

Chen Rong waved his hand.

This shop is not small, with two rooms one in and one out. Chen Rong walked inside and sat down on the only collapse inside.

After sitting down, she looked around as she drank her drink. The store is quite 'fine' and clean, but it is a bit deserted, and it seems that business is average.

Just as she was thinking, there was a rush of footsteps. In the blink of an eye, Ping Yu rushed in. As soon as she saw Chen Rong, her eyes turned red, and tears came down from her eyes.

Pingyu covered her face with her sleeves, and saw Chen Rong standing up to hug herself, but she took a step back to avoid her.

She knelt down in front of Chen Rong with a thud and began to cry. While crying, she accused, "Knowing that Moyang City is a place of death, how can the 'girl' say that she will go?" was taken away by the king of Nanyang, fortunately, he can live and grow old safely, haven't you heard of the 'girl'? Is it better to die than to live? ”

When she said a word, she choked, and when she spoke again, she couldn't stop crying. Chen Rong looked at her and saw that it was only in the past few days, her black hair and temples were dyed with frost.

Chen Rong was moved in his heart, and hurriedly held Pingyu's arms and forcibly pulled her up. As soon as she helped Ping Fei up, when she saw Chen Rong's face, she cried again.

Ping Yu cried for a quarter of an hour before she stopped her mouth under Chen Rong's impatient advice.

The two sat down next to each other, and Chen Rong hurriedly asked, "After I leave, is there anything abnormal in the Chen Mansion?" ”

Pingyu took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said hoarsely: "It's not abnormal, but I heard that your uncle lost his temper and said that you are a sister-in-law, and he won't say anything to the family when he goes out, and he also said that you will kneel in the ancestral hall when you go back." Even your sisters also said at the banquet that you might have 'eloped' with a man. However, after your uncle sent someone to check your belongings, they all said that you did not pick up a penny of money, and that you must not be missing. ”

When Chen Rong heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She took Concubine Ping's hand and said, "Concubine, follow me back to Chen's Mansion." ”

Ping Yu was startled and opened her eyes to look at her, "'Girl', I was kicked out." ”

Chen Rong frowned and said, "It's okay, I said that you were loyal to me along the way, and I took it back again." Speaking of this, she sneered: "It's a big deal, I will announce in front of everyone that all your expenses will be borne by me personally, and I will guarantee that I will not spend half a grain of rice in the family." ”

Pingyu lowered her head and pondered the feasible 'sexuality' of her words.

Chen Rong was impatient, she ordered: "Concubine, do you have any of my clothes there?" It's not too early, we're going back to Chen's house. ”

Ping Yu nodded again and again, and said, "Yes, some of them, when I was kicked out that day, in order to save a thought, I took two sets of old clothes that the 'girl' often wears in the north. I'm going to get it. ”

After a while, Concubine Ping brought a set of Chen Rong's clothes over.

When Chen Rong was replaced, Shang Su also drove the carriage quietly over, and at that moment, the three of them got into the carriage and returned to the Chen Mansion.

At the big 'gate' of Chen's mansion, the servants came and went, one by one, holding their feet and looking in the direction of the 'gate' of the north city. In the midst of the chatter, they all shouted: "I wonder if Wang Qilang will pass by this road?" "I sure will, see if you don't, several Lang lords have gone to meet him." "Didn't you say that the King of Nanyang had greeted Wang Qilang and went to Nanyang Mansion?" "I definitely didn't go, if I did, why was the North 'Gate' still so lively?"

In the midst of the chaotic shouting, Chen Rong said to Shang Suo: "Let's go to the side 'door'." ”

Shang Su understood what she meant, and immediately drove the carriage towards a remote side 'gate' that Wang Qilang's motorcade would never pass through.

Sure enough, the 'door' on that side was deserted, and Chen Rong arrived, only alarming a few 'door' guards and guards in the house.

When the carriage drove through Chen Wei's courtyard, the courtyard was deserted, and most of Chen Wei went to see the excitement.

In Chen Rong's courtyard, the servants had nothing to do because their master was not there, and when they suddenly saw Chen Rong coming back, they were all overjoyed, and they rushed up one after another, surrounding her and asking questions.

Chen Rong didn't answer, she waved away everyone, returned to the house to bathe and change clothes, and soaked in the bucket for more than half an hour before she stood up lazily and changed into a new set of light green clothes.

When she walked to the courtyard, there was already laughter in Chen Wei's courtyard next door.

Ping Yu was a little unsettled, and when she saw Chen Rong coming, she hurriedly greeted her and asked uneasily; "'Girl' Lang, do you want to meet Lord Lang?"

Chen Rong frowned and thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, sooner or later, you won't be able to hide, so let's go and see you." She thought that now that the news of Wang Qilang's safe return had made the city full of storms, she thought that Chen Yuan and Ruan would not punish her too much.

Chen Rong had just turned around and had only taken a few steps when he heard Chen Wei's exclamation, "What, Ah Rong is back?" ”

She screamed, only to hear a burst of footsteps rushing in, and in the blink of an eye, at the 'door' of Chen Rong's courtyard, seven or eight black pressed heads poked in.

These 'girls' of the Chen family had just made an appointment to meet Wang Hong, and as soon as they came back, they heard the news of Chen Rong's return, and they were curious and surprised, so they rushed in together.

Looking at the 'women' who came over, Chen Rong was blessed and exclaimed, "Ah Rong has seen all the sisters. Before Chen Qian could ask, she hung her head and said uneasily, "I'm about to ask my uncle for guilt." ”

As soon as her words fell, Chen Qian shouted, "Go one by one." ”

Chen Wei shouted in the back: "My father is not here, he has washed the dust for Wang Qilang." ”

Chen Rong still lowered his head and said respectfully: "Even if I have seen my aunt, it is the same." ”

Chen Qian was impatient, she rushed in and shouted, "Let's go back later." She didn't stop until she rushed in front of Chen Rong.

Tilting his head and looking at Chen Rong for a long time, Chen Qian suddenly asked, "Ah Rong, why did you come back at this time?" ”

Chen Rong understood what she meant to ask, why did you come back at the same time as Wang Qilang.

At that moment, Chen Rong's eyes were bright and bright, she raised her head to look at the 'women', and said anxiously, "I heard that Wang Qilang also came back today?" Did he come back safe and sound? The streets are so lively, so you're going to welcome him, right? That's great. ”

Her tone and expression were really happy and expectant, and there was a faint shock that she had never greeted Wang Qilang. Seeing this, the 'women' couldn't help but glance at each other.

Just now, when they heard the news that Chen Rong was coming back at this time, their first thought was, why did she come back at the same time as Wang Qilang?

Looking at her expression now, could it be a coincidence?

At this moment, Chen Rong looked in the direction of the street, his voice was low, and he muttered: "He is really suffering in a place like Moyang City, I thought that I would never see him again." ”

These words reminded all the 'women', yes, Moyang City is a place of death, and Chen Rong's brain has not burned out, even if she wants to have a 'private' lover, she has to go while it is safe. It seems that this is a coincidence.

Thinking of this, all the 'women' started giggling again.

Chen Wei rushed up, she circled around Chen Rong, and said with a smile: "Ah Rong, you have lost weight and become dark." It seems that if Shichiro is called, you have to apply powder. ”

When she said this, she turned her eyes to see Pingyu, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Why are you still here, this old slave?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Chen Rong's unhappy voice sounded from behind, "This time I met a homeless person on the road, and Pingyu was in front of me. Luckily, the carriage rushed in time, and if it hadn't happened, I don't know what would have happened to her. Ah Wei, she is a loyal servant who has saved my life, so I brought her back. ”

After a pause, she pursed her lips and said stubbornly: "Even if my uncle wants to fight and kill, I will also leave Pingfei." ”

Chen Wei was stunned, and said: "She saved you and was loyal, and you brought her back to repay your kindness, and his father would not disagree." The voice was a little unpleasant, the Ah Rong in front of him, knowing that something like this happened, his father would definitely let her go, and he actually said something 'let him fight and kill', and said that his father was ruthless and unjust.

When Chen Wei flattened his mouth like this, Chen Qian turned her head to stare at Chen Rong, and suddenly smiled strangely.

Her smile was very strange, all the 'women' were stunned at first, and then they understood, and at that moment, they looked at Chen Rong and 'revealed' that strange smile.

Chen Wei also reacted, she covered her mouth with her sleeves, squinted her eyes, and said sympathetically: "Ah Rong, there is one thing, you must hold on." ”

As soon as her voice fell, Chen Qian said disdainfully on the side: "She? With her identity, Shichiro is just playing, and she doesn't like it much, Ah Wei, you told her to hold on, and the words were inappropriate. Besides, 'female' people, when there is a tolerance for people, it is really a 'private' life with Shichiro, and when you hear this kind of thing, you should be happy. ”

In Chen Rong's stunned, 'confused' and 'confused' eyes with uneasy eyes, after all the 'women' chattered and laughed for a while, Chen Qian took the lead in opening her mouth, "Ah Rong, this time your Qilang brought a 'Qingqing' back." Tut-tut, you don't know, your Qilang called him Qingqing, that gentle and affectionate, really. ”

She snorted a few times, and her eyes when she looked at Chen Rong were full of sympathy. Moreover, in the tone, there was more or less jealousy of the 'Qingqing' who had never met.

Chen Rong was still staying.

She blinked, slowly lowering her head. After bowing her head like this for a moment, she took a step back, turned her back to the 'women', and said in a low voice: "Thank you sisters, Ah Rong knows what her identity is. ”

The voice was low and seemed speechless.

In the eyes of the 'women' looking at her, the "color" of mockery became even stronger.

Chen Qian took a step forward, came behind Chen Rong and said, "Ah Rong, you're right, what is your identity?" What is the identity of Wang Qilang? If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid that everyone in the world will ask you not to tarnish people's names. ”

"Yes, Ah Rong, don't be sad, since you don't deserve it, don't think nonsense."

This voice is relatively gentle, and it is said by a concubine 'daughter' who has the same father as Chen Qian.

Chen Wei also comforted in a low voice on the side: "Ah Rong, don't think about it, his person is not something you can think about." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled, stepped forward to take Chen Rong's hand, and shook it comfortingly. She looked at Chen Rong and secretly thought: Every time I annoy her, I see her pitiful, and I can't help but sympathize with her.

At this time, Chen Rong broke free of her hand, she shook her head, the green silk was messy, smiled bitterly, and said to all the 'women', Chen Rong lowered his head and said: "Thank you sisters, Ah Rong is really not sad." ”

said that she was not sad, but she kept her head down, shrugged her shoulders, and the whole person seemed to be 'sucked' out of her 'essence' at once, and there was no 'essence' to cheer.

The eyes of the 'women' became more and more sympathetic.

At this time, Chen Rong lowered his head and said, "Sisters, Ah Rong said goodbye without saying goodbye, and he was so tired that the elders were 'worried'. Now that he has returned, he should confess his sins. ”

With that, she turned and walked forward unsteadily. Seeing this, Ping Yu hurriedly followed.

Looking at her staggering back, Chen Qian suddenly said, "Let's go too." Ah Wei, you go and tell your mother, Ah Rong is also a pitiful person, tell your mother not to punish her first. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Chen Wei, who was still in place and her expression was a little stiff, and couldn't help shouting: "Ah Wei, what about calling you, didn't you hear it?" ”

Chen smiled bitterly and responded, "Yes, yes." He also turned around and followed Chen Rong.

After a while, Chen Rong appeared outside Ruan's courtyard.

At this moment, Li Shi was standing behind Ruan's 'servant', her eyes were sharp, and she saw Chen Rong at once, and her voice was sharp, and she said, "Yo, who is this distinguished guest?" ”

This high-pitched voice immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Ruan Shi and the maids raised their heads at the same time to look at Chen Rong.

Li's willow eyebrows were about to stand up at this time, she smiled with a 'yin' smile, twisted her waist and stepped forward, and shouted: "Yo, the distinguished guest is here, and it won't collapse?" ”

As soon as her voice fell, seeing that Chen Rong didn't move, Ruan's gentle voice sounded with impatience, "Why, a little sister-in-law, really doesn't take your uncle's Mrs. Ru in your eyes?" ”
