“Since they have been caught, send the news back to Jing City and tell them that from today onward, I will personally escort Xing Danqing back to Jing City,” Rong Zhan said coldly.
Xing Danqing’s heart was like dead water, and he fainted from shock.
Fu Cheng had been standing beside Rong Zhan the whole time. After hearing this, he asked carefully, “Young Master, are you leaving?”
“Yes, it’s time to go back.” Rong Zhan narrowed his eyes as he spoke. In his mind, the cute little face of the little devil king appeared.
The Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s had already been sent back. It was likely that his illness would be greatly cured.
In his mind, the little fellow’s smiling face became more and more vivid. Rong Zhan stood up and said, “Quickly prepare the carriage. This king will leave today.”

“Yes.” Fu Cheng raised his foot to catch up, only to see Rong Zhan stop in his tracks.
Fu Cheng was puzzled when he saw Rong Zhan take off the jade pendant on his waist and give it to him.
Fu Cheng was flattered by this scene and hurriedly said, “This, this is too valuable. Young Master, I dare not accept it…”
“It’s not for you.” Rong Zhan’s cold words were like a basin of cold water pouring on Fu Cheng’s head. “Give it to Gu Qingxue. Let her come to Jing City to look for me after she completes the agreement.”
Fu Cheng’s heart suddenly felt cold. He nodded and watched Rong Zhan leave.
The Jing City, the Gu family…
In a small building in Tongxiang Garden…
The servant girls were all very careful, not daring to make any sound as they walked.
In the past two days, the Eldest Madam had been in a very bad mood.
Although the Eldest Madam had always been lenient to the servants and had never taken the people down to vent her anger just because she was in a bad mood, the servant girls had to be careful. They were afraid that if they did something wrong, they would be unlucky.
Madam Kou sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her appearance in the bronze mirror. She reached out her hand and found a silver hair among her black hair with dissatisfaction. “Nanny Zhou, look, I have white hair again.” Nanny Zhou took the white hair, she said respectfully, “Madam, don’t be angry. I will help you pull out this silver hair.”
“Don’t worry, let me do it.” At this time, Gu Lingyue walked in slowly from outside the door.
Nanny Zhou stepped aside and gave her seat to Gu Lingyue.
Gu Lingyue stood behind Madam Kou. She took the comb and hid the white hair of Madam Kou in her black hair. Then, she tied her hair into a bun. “Mom, isn’t this enough? Why do you need to hurt yourself?”
Madam Kou smiled with satisfaction. “Your idea is good. However, the white hair is still there. If it doesn’t disappear, I will think about it uncontrollably.”
Gu Lingyue could hear the hidden meaning in Madam Kou’s words. She took the initiative to ask, “Mother, I heard that the Nanny Zhou you sent out hasn’t sent a message to you for two days?”

Madam Kou’s eyes moved.” Not only Nanny Zhou but also Madam Yu. I think your elder sister is not satisfied with the people I sent over.”
“Gu Qingxue has always been timid. It’s a pity that mother couldn’t get rid of her this time. Nanny Zhou was very powerful. No matter how Gu Qingxue changed, she shouldn’t be able to escape from danger. Not only that, she actually harmed Nanny Zhou and the others. There must be something fishy about this,” Gu Lingyue said in a low voice.
“I heard that… the prince regent is also near Qingyuan Town. Gu Qingxue suddenly learned medical skills, and the prince regent also happened to know about the Worry-Relieving Gra.s.s nearby. Could there be a connection between the two?” Madam Kou asked with a serious tone.

“Mother, do you think too highly of Gu Qingxue? How could a widow in a poor rural area have the ability to hook up with the prince regent?” Gu Lingyue said sarcastically.
