"Go to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion." Si Haochen ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes." Fifteen turned the carriage in a different direction and headed towards the Imperial Prefect's Mansion.
The carriage stopped some distance away from the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and three carriages were seen parked in front of the mansion, with luggage still on the carriages.
"Master, there are too many cars in front of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion, and our car can't pass." Shi Shi stopped the carriage and reported back.
"Then stop here." Mingruo looked over and asked, "Senior brother, are you going out or just coming back?"
Si Haochen glanced at the painted and gold-painted boxes on the carriage and said, "These luggage don't look like your senior brother's."
"Hey, what's going on?" Mingruo discovered that in front of the carriages pulling luggage, there was a canopy carriage, and it looked like the woman was riding in it.
This group of people obviously came to visit the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, but the gate of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was closed, with no intention of welcoming guests.
Ming Ruo was just about to ask Shi Shi to knock on the door and ask about the situation, when he saw a shoulder-mounted carriage slowly coming from the other end of the alley, followed by Zelan who had become much darker and thinner on horseback.
"Is that senior brother's father-in-law?" Mingruo asked with some uncertainty.
"Yeah." Si Haochen nodded.
Seeing the imperial master returning home, there was also movement in the 'BMW car' in front.
A woman wearing a peach-pink fairy dress with wide sleeves stepped out of the carriage with the help of a maid, came to the carriage and bowed before her: "Cao Lihua, the daughter of the people, pays homage to the Imperial Master."
There was a hint of impatience in Jun Che's calm eyes: "What does Miss Cao want from me?"
Hearing Cao Lihua's voice, the "bib" who was originally nestled quietly in Mingruo's arms seemed to be provoked and chirped twice.
"On that day when the Imperial Master rescued the daughter of the people at Huilong Temple, the civilian daughter made a wish in front of the Taoist ancestors. She would repay the Imperial Master for saving her life by being a slave in this life." Cao Lihua knelt on the ground and raised her head slightly.
He looked pitiful.
"I don't need to repay you. Miss Cao, please go back." Jun Che jumped lightly and landed on the stone steps in front of the mansion.
"The daughter of the people is here to repay her kindness sincerely. I hope the Master will give the daughter of the people a chance." Cao Lihua knelt down and turned to the direction of Jun Che. Her eyes were full of water, as if she was going to do it in the next moment.
I cried.
"Tsk, tsk, senior brother seems to be entangled by the 'little white flower'." Mingruo stroked the little silver fox that had transformed into the 'big fur dumpling'.
"Haha." Si Haochen chuckled. His wife's description was quite vivid.
"Since you said you came to be a slave and a maid, not only did you have rich clothes and a beaded head, but you also brought several carriages of luggage, how are the slaves in your Pingnan Marquis Mansion treated so well?" Jun Che hates this kind of thing.
She is scheming but insists on pretending to be a simple and innocent woman.
"..." Cao Lihua was speechless for a moment, then rolled her eyes and muttered, "As long as the Imperial Master is willing to keep the civilian girls, the civilian girls will send them back."
"Are you sure you want to be a slave in the Imperial Master's Mansion?" Jun Che looked down at the woman kneeling at the foot of the stone steps.
"Indeed... sure..." His Majesty the Imperial Master's voice was obviously very calm, but Cao Lihua felt an inexplicable chill down her spine.
"Zelan, take the contract of the slave of Zhang Guoshi's residence and have Miss Cao sign it." Jun Che's tone was a bit chilly.
"Yes." Zelan took the identity deed and walked step by step to Cao Lihua, "Miss Cao, please sign and pledge these two identity deeds. While it's still early, I can take them to the government office for filing.
"
"No..." She is a noble daughter of the prince's family. If she signed the contract, wouldn't she become a lowly person? Cao Li rubbed her knees and stepped back. She wanted to get close to the master, but she didn't really want to be a slave. "
I don’t want…”
"Since Miss Cao doesn't want it, please come back." Zelan looked at Cao Lihua with disgust in her eyes, "You deliberately rolled down the stone steps that day. It's not like my son didn't notice it. That's why he came to rescue you.
, not because I care about your life, nor because I am kind-hearted. I am afraid that your blood will splash everywhere and stain the young master's clothes.
If you keep pestering me, it won't be difficult for you to fall down the stone steps again." Those clothes were given by the young master's only junior sister, and the young master cherished them very much.
Cao Lihua was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Before that, she was still complacent about her plan, thinking that the Imperial Master would come to rescue her, if not out of pity for her, at least because of the kindness of the Imperial Master. She did not expect it at all, just because she was afraid.
The robe is splattered with blood...
"Miss Cao, if you don't leave, we will ask Ping Nanhou to pick you up." Zelan turned around and walked to the young master's side.
"Second Miss, let's go back." Cao Lihua's maid thought that the young lady's method was not good. She was even more panicked after hearing Zelan's words.
The two maids put Cao Lihua on the carriage, took the 'convoy' behind, and left in despair.
At this time, Zelan had ordered someone to open the door of the mansion. Seeing that the young master was still standing there with no intention of returning to the house, he asked suspiciously: "Sir, do you regret driving Miss Cao away?"
What he said just now was so cruel. If the young master asked him to chase Miss Cao back, he would rather die.
"I haven't gone to bed yet, so I'm talking in my sleep." Jun Che bypassed Zelan and walked straight to the carriage that Mingruo was riding in. "The play is over, why don't you get out of the car?"
"Hehe." Mingruo got out of the carriage with a smile, "Senior brother, you can still find me despite your busy schedule. It's really an honor for me."
"Why is the 'scarf' in your car?" Jun Che raised his eyebrows slightly.
"I said I met him on the road, do you believe it?" Mingruo got out of the car, turned to look at Si Haochen, "Why don't you get out of the car?"
"Believe it." Jun Che nodded seriously.
"Aren't you taking the 'Fox Boy' home?" Why should we get off the bus when we have already delivered it?
"It still has to state its numerous crimes. I'm going to have tea and snacks. If you don't get off, you'll have to wait in the car." Mingruo stuffed the "scarf" into his senior brother's arms and stretched out his hand to Si Haochen.
Like a delicate little lady, Si Haochen put his hand on his wife's hand and stepped out of the carriage.
Mingruo was shocked by Si Haochen's operation. She didn't mean it like this. She asked Si Haochen to bring the "stolen items" for easy hunting.
"Ahem." Jun Che was also amused by His Highness Prince Yun, "Let's go in first."
Si Haochen held Mingruo's little hand in his palm and led his wife to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
The three of them came to the house located in the middle of the lake. Zelan served tea first, and then went to the kitchen to pass out snacks.
"What did the scarf do?" Jun Che poured tea for the two of them before asking.
"This little guy stole the Hailing Pearl from Boya Zhai and jumped into my car after being chased." Mingruo took out the Hailing Pearl from Si Haochen's sleeve pocket and put it on the table.
Jun Che glanced at the glowing blue bead, then looked at the scarf: "What do you want this for?"
