Chapter 195 Follow Me Back to the Palace
Chu Ci came out of prison and was about to return to his own yard when he remembered that the Marquis's Mansion had been ransacked. Chu Ci fell silent.
Where is she going with all these people?
Chu Ci stood there in a daze. The eldest brother came forward and ruffled Chu Ci's hair. "Girl, let's forget about this matter here. The revenge has been taken. Let's find a place to deal with it first and then go back to Tianji Pavilion."
Chu Ci lowered her head. She didn’t know how to answer, but she always felt that she was still thinking about something.
However, there are already two beauties in Prince Rui's mansion, and it doesn't matter whether she is there or not. What else can she do?
At this time, the carriage of Prince Rui's Mansion came from a distance, creaking, as if telling of Chu Ci's uneasy mood.
The eldest brother looked at Chu Ci and sighed. When he saw Chu Ci lowering his head, he knew what Chu Ci was thinking. He was afraid that he had not let go of certain people yet.
The carriage stopped beside Chu Ci, and Prince Rui got out of the carriage with a calm look on his face.
Thinking about the recent incident at the Chu family, Prince Rui spoke with a hint of caution, "Little Fox, the Chu Marquisate has been reclaimed. I'll take you to the Prince's Palace to rest first, and then we'll discuss the next matter. Is that okay with you?"
He looked at Chu Ci and wanted to take the opportunity to bring Chu Ci directly to his palace. In this way, they would all be under his nose, and the eldest brother's chances of winning would be smaller.
He was so worried about what was going to happen next that he couldn't even sleep well unless he kept the little fox under his nose.
His idea was good, but Chu Ci didn't want to go. She always felt that this was not a good idea.
At this moment, a lively little girl jumped out of Prince Rui's carriage.
She walked up to Chu Ci with a smile on her face. The smile was so bright that Chu Ci felt a little annoying and wanted to slap this person to death.
"Sister Chu Ci, why don't you take these servants with you and live directly in Prince Rui's Mansion? I think Brother Rui's suggestion is a good one. After all, the Chu Marquis Mansion has been taken back, and you are now homeless."
Xiaorou put her arms around Prince Rui's arm and said, "Sister Chuci, you must listen to me. I will go back to the mansion and ask the servants to clean up a yard for you. If any servants disobey me, you tell me and I will punish them severely."
Chu Ci's face turned pale. Xiao Rou was insulting her and trampling on her dignity, not to mention that she was showing off her status in the Prince Rui's Mansion. She had been a servant for many years, so she could punish her as she pleased.
The eldest brother saw what she was thinking, so he stood up and said, "Girl, why don't we go buy a yard first? We have people anyway, not too many, and we are all family."
Chu Ci nodded. She preferred this method. There were still many things that had not been resolved between her and King Rui, so it was better to keep a distance.
His white moonlight is still living in Prince Rui's Mansion as a princess. This is something she cannot accept. She feels betrayed.
Chu Ci looked around, and just when she was about to ask someone to find a human trafficker, the owner of Huichuntang arrived with his men.
The Huichuntang carriage was running at an extremely fast speed, and the dust raised behind it was much higher than the carriage.
When he arrived in front of Chu Ci, the shopkeeper jumped off the carriage and hurriedly walked to Chu Ci, "Miss, since I learned that the Chu family was taken over by the royal family, I took the initiative to prepare a larger courtyard for you in case of emergency."
The shopkeeper's words made Chu Ci smile for the only time in this short period of time. "Then I'll be very grateful to you, shopkeeper."
"Lead the way ahead."
Chu Ci glanced at Prince Rui and was about to leave with the shopkeeper.
Just after taking two steps, Prince Rui grabbed Chu Ci's wrist. His voice became deeper and deeper, "Little fox, come with me to the palace. It's not safe to be with you. This way I can feel at ease."
There was a hint of pleading in Prince Rui's words. He looked straight at Chu Ci, wanting to please Chu Ci.
Chu Ci glanced at the big hand holding her wrist. She didn't know if it was because of the weather, but the originally hot palm began to become cold.
She smiled bleakly, "No need for that. It's better for me not to go to Prince Rui's Mansion. Our marriage is only granted by the Emperor, and we are not sure what the outcome will be."
She pushed Prince Rui's hand away forcefully, and left with the shopkeeper without looking back.
As they walked, tears began to flow uncontrollably from the corners of Chu Ci's eyes. She didn't know what was going on or why the two of them had come to this point. It turned out that things were not like this between them.
She was a failure in her previous life, so in this life, she devoted herself to studying and wanted to change the situation of her previous life.
She finally accepted Cang Mo completely, but she didn't expect that he would change his mind before they even got married, revealing his true nature, which was indeed a man's nature.
But come to think of it, it's better to reveal your true nature before marriage than after.
At this moment, Prince Rui also felt that Chu Ci had changed and became even colder.
Xiaorou held Prince Rui's frozen hand with both hands, "Brother Rui, since Sister Chuci doesn't want to live in Prince Rui's mansion, then forget it. As for Sister Chuci's room, I will ask the maid to clean it frequently."
"If Sister Chuci finds it inconvenient to live outside, she won't be without a courtyard when she returns to the palace."
Xiaorou's face was full of tenderness and care. She held King Rui's big hand with both hands and gently scratched King Rui's palm, "Brother Rui, since Sister Chuci doesn't want to go, let's go home. I'm a little tired!"
As she spoke, Miss Xiaorou kept leaning against Prince Rui, almost sticking to him.
Prince Rui kept his eyes fixed on Chu Ci until Chu Ci's figure disappeared. Then he turned around and got on the carriage. He no longer had the domineering attitude he had before, but was now decadent with a stubborn look in his eyes.
Chu Ci arrived at his house, which was a small courtyard with three entrances and three exits. There was still a lot of open space inside. Looking at the open space, Chu Ci was considering whether to plant flowers or herbs.
This yard doesn't look too dirty, so someone must have lived here all the time. I don't know why they sold it.
It looked like the furniture inside had not been used for very long, and even the decorations for the garden and yard were of the type Chu Ci liked.
Chu Ci looked at all this and fell into deep thought.
Everyone started to clean up together. Actually, there was nothing much to clean up, so they just did a symbolic cleaning.
Before I finished cleaning up, Lin Feng came again.
He stood at the gate of the yard and hesitated for a long time. Thinking of what the people in the cell said, he decided to go in.
Lin Feng walked straight in, and the little maid didn't stop him. Lin Feng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. The security of this small courtyard was too poor. It seemed that he had to go back and tell his master about it.
Arriving at Chu Ci's courtyard, Lin Feng went forward and knocked on the door. "County Lady, are you in there? Lin Feng has something to tell you."
