Rebirth of the Guardian Cute Baby
Chapter 239 Getting ready to leave
This princess has her own beliefs and is particularly stubborn in some aspects. She is really a contradictory old lady.
Although the prince was very annoyed, he also knew that it was useless to get angry at this pair of charlatans.
He didn't really trust this Lady Zhen. Although she looked simple, the identities of these two people, sometimes mother and daughter, sometimes sister and brother, made people suspicious. They might have had a purpose since they bumped into him. Although he asked Xiao Bai to check, Lady Zhen was Master Yan's concubine, who lived with the Yan family and was forced to leave the Yan Mansion. She might go home when Master Yan came back.
The prince now suspects that their purpose is to create unrest in his backyard.
At this time, a maid came up and said to the prince of Liang: "Prince, you are here. The princess asked you to go to the garden."
Xiao Bai hurriedly said, "Prince, you finally made peace with the princess, go now!"
So the Prince of Liang left as if he was going to the execution ground.
Before leaving, he took a deep look at Zhen Jing and Zhen Niangzi and said, "Move that iron pot away from me today, or you'll be put in the dungeon!"
Zhen Jing asked loudly from behind: "Where does the prince plan to move it?"
The prince didn't even turn his head.
Xiao Bai shrugged: "Do you two think it's not good to live here? Madam Zhen is not giving face to the princess. Now it's good, you may have to live in the dungeon tonight."
Madam Zhen asked: "After we move this iron pot, we will both leave together. Can you pay us first?"
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment, "You are so confident, are you going to take advantage of the chaos to escape?"
Madam Zhen shook her head.
"Guard Xiao has no confidence in the guards of your palace?"
Xiao Bai touched his head and said, "I'll go ask the prince for instructions!" After that, he ran away.
Zhen Jing and Zhen Niangzi waited for an hour but he didn't come back.
Madam Zhen said angrily, "We should have asked them to pay a deposit first. What if they turn hostile and lock us up after we move the golden turtle?"
Zhen Jing also felt a little regretful.
No wonder the ancients said that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. In this era, those in power treat human lives as worthless. She thought too simply.
Zhen Jing comforted Lady Zhen: "If they really want to lock us up in the dungeon, we can just run away. After all, we have already made up for the past few days! Didn't you say that it is worth living like this for one day? At least we have survived three days!"
Madam Zhen also laughed when she heard this. She said, "Yes, I am not satisfied, Hanyan. I have always felt that you have changed in the past few days. You have become more capable and talkative. Now I realize that your nature has not changed at all!"
Zhen Jing couldn't help but ask: "What is my true nature?"
Madam Zhen blurted out, "He is a coward and a bully."
Zhen Jing took two steps back and sighed exaggeratedly: "Hey, how can you say that about your own daughter? I should have realized that you are not her biological mother!"
Before the afternoon, the two were treated the same, and they waited patiently until lunchtime, when sumptuous dishes were again placed on the table.
Xiao Bai also came at this time.
Madam Zhen called out, "Guard Xiao, come and have dinner together!"
Xiao Bai's face turned red: "No, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
After he said that, he took out a small pouch from his arms.
"There are fifty taels of silver in here. The prince said he would pay half first, and then pay three times the reward after you move that huge thing away."
Zhen Jing quickly took the purse and opened it to show Madam Zhen.
As a master, Madam Zhen needs to be dignified. She is a child and doesn't need those requirements.
"Well, please ask Guard Xiao to clear out the people around the martial arts training ground. My little brother and I will be there soon after we finish our meal."
Xiao Bai asked worriedly:
"Do you need help?"
Lady Zhen said:
"No, we will do it a quarter of an hour before the sun sets. Just don't let anyone get close to us, in case the iron pot falls and hurts someone if the move fails."
Zhen Jing added: "When the iron pot is moved, it may make a loud noise and produce unknown poisonous gas. Let the people in your house take precautions. If there are guests in the house admiring flowers or something, try to arrange for them to leave in advance."
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Xiao Bai clasped his fists, "The ladies invited by the princess are playing in the garden. I'll have someone arrange for them to leave before the sun sets."
Zhen Jing and Zhen Niangzi started packing up after lunch.
There's actually nothing to clean up.
Madam Zhen said, "This amount of money is a little too little. It may not be enough if we want to go to the capital." They had already decided to just take the deposit.
Although this princess and the prince look good, they are not trustworthy in the way they do things.
It was better to stop while he could, take the fifty taels and leave.
"Hanyan, after summoning thunder and lightning, can we really move this golden turtle away?"
"Yes, that's right." Zhen Jing nodded, "How's your relocation spell going? Let's see if we can open the portal?"
Lady Zhen was curious: "What is a portal?"
Zhen Jing said: "It's just a door. It can take us somewhere else."
Lady Zhen said:
"I remember the spell, but it only takes me to places we've been to. If I say the spell here with a certain place in mind, I can go there."
"Then give it a try."
Lady Zhen said, "I'll hold your hand. You take the good stuff."
She always put Zhen Jing first and let Zhen Jing keep the money to prevent Zhen Jing from having no money to spend in case the two of them separated.
Before Madam Zhen could even read, a surprised voice came from outside: "Madam Zhen, Ruyan, it's really you!"
As the voices were speaking, a woman walked into the room from outside. The woman was none other than Yan Ruyan, the fifth daughter of the Yan family. She came uninvited, followed by several other girls dressed beautifully.
"I heard from people here that you were living in the palace. I didn't believe it, so I came to see if it was true. I didn't expect it was really you."
Zhen Jing looked at the Fifth Miss coldly without saying anything.
Madam Zhen smiled and greeted, "Isn't this Miss Fifth? Why are you here in the palace?"
"The princess asked me to come here to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. If my sister was at home, I would have brought her along too. I didn't expect you two to come here without saying anything." Yan Ruyan stood in front of Madam Zhen and whispered, "The eldest lady is asking Hongli to look for you two! Come back with me later, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!"
Madam Zhen said calmly, "Please tell the Madam that Han Yan and I will not bother her anymore and will not go there in the future. Tell her not to look for us again and not to embarrass Master Hongli anymore. The past grudges were just a joke between siblings, so let's forget it!"
Yan Ruyan didn't expect to be rejected, and couldn't help but angrily said: "You are Daddy's concubine, living in the palace openly, letting outsiders gossip about you, and when Daddy comes back, where will he put his face? You are an outsider, but you should also think about Xiaoqi. Are you willing to be so lowly?"
Xiao Bai came in hurriedly from outside.
"Girls, we have something to do in the palace later. Didn't I tell you to leave the palace? Why are you here?"
Yan Ruyan said condescendingly: "Guard Xiao, I want to take these two people away."
After she finished speaking, she pointed at Madam Zhen and Zhen Jing.
Xiao Bai said: "Fifth Miss, this lady is a distinguished guest invited by the prince. She has other things to do in the palace and cannot leave with Fifth Miss. Besides, if these two are not slaves in your house, Fifth Miss has no right to take them away."
Yan Ruyan's face turned red and white, and she felt very embarrassed. After a moment's pause, she said, "I'll go find the princess."
After saying that, he covered his face and ran away.
At this time, the sun hid behind a cloud and the sky gradually became gloomy.
Zhen Jing looked at the sky and said, "We need to go to the martial arts training ground to prepare. Guard Xiao, please make arrangements and have everyone leave. There may be thunder and lightning and heavy rain later. If you don't have time to leave, don't go near the martial arts training ground."
"it is good"
Xiao Bai left quickly.
In the princess's palace, the Crown Prince's wife was drinking tea with the princess. Yan Ruyan ran in, hugged the princess's arm and started crying.
The princess didn't know what was going on, so Yan Ruyan told her about how Xiao Bai had humiliated her when she wanted to take Madam Zhen and her daughter away.
The princess patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, stop crying. I thought it was something else! Tell me, do you really want those two people to go back?"
Yan Ruyan sat up straight and shook his head: "Of course not, those two lowly people only make trouble for me and Hongli and make the Yan family lose face. I want them to disappear, but it is difficult to explain to the eldest lady. Now the eldest lady is still asking Hongli to look for them."
The princess smiled coldly: "This lady is good at saving face. If you don't want them to go back, don't cry. Come, sit here and play cards for a while."
They were playing cards here and didn't know that the outside was guarded. The prince was afraid that they would go out suddenly, so he had people guard the door from outside. No matter who they were, anyone who went out would be taken away.
When the time Madam Zhen mentioned came, the prince brought Xiao Bai and strode towards the martial arts training ground. He wanted to see how two weak women could move an iron pot that was bigger than three rooms.
