Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

Chapter 347 Don't Save the Savages on the Roadside 10

"That's not so exaggerated. You think too highly of me." He Lule responded with a chuckle. Although it was just a polite remark, it was pleasing to hear.

After the meal, Hang Xinghuai took the initiative to follow He Sheng to help wash the dishes. Lu Xiang stuffed the money into He Lu's pocket and said, "Sorry to bother you. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

He Lu didn't refuse and put away the silver. He took the cup and poured him some water. "Tell me, there are so many families, why did you choose to knock on my door?"

Lu Xiang unconsciously began to get nervous, "I want to ask you something."

He did not choose to cover up, but spoke frankly.

At the same time, a similar scene was taking place in the kitchen.

"Can I ask you something?" Hang Xinghuai showed the silver in his hand to He Sheng, "Miss, will you refuse me?"

He Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Who is it related to?"

-

Lu Xian squatted in the corner of the yard and practiced writing on the ground with a branch. This was taught to him by He Sheng, so that he would have something to do while she was washing dishes and had no time to take care of him.

Yu Xingwang and the other two sat not far away and watched him, discussing in a low voice, "This face is too similar."

"It's definitely the case just by looking at his face, but this behavior and expression..."

"He doesn't look very smart." Zeng Hong whispered, and Jiang Wu heard it and patted him on the back of the head without hesitation.

"Be careful with your words. What if it really is His Highness? Is this something you can discuss?"

Zeng Hong should shut his mouth and be careful of the trouble that may come from his words.

On the other side of the yard were Lu Xiang and He Lu sitting under the shade of a tree chatting.

Yu Xingwang: "Brother Xiang seems to be doing well."

Jiang Wu: "We just need to wait. Hang Xinghuai hasn't come out for such a long time, so I guess there's still hope."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hang Xinghuai came out of the kitchen with a smile on his face, and it seemed that things were going well.

Zeng Hong immediately called him over, "Hey, how's it going?"

Hang Xinghuai hooked his neck, "Nine out of ten. She said that when she found him, he had an arrow in the abdomen and a wound on the back of the head. Not long after she brought him back, he started to have a fever, and it took almost three days for the fever to subside."

"Then how do we tell them that we want to take His Highness away?" Yu Xingwang turned his head to look at the people in the corner, "How do we start this conversation?"

"It's simple. Just tell him that his father sent us to find him. Miss He has already guessed it. She said she can take him away after we settle the bill."

"What debt?" Jiang Wu was stunned. Could it be a debt of love?

"Your Highness, just pay for the broken dishes, worn-out clothes, and board and lodging expenses." Hang Xinghuai knocked him on the forehead, "What are you thinking about? Your Highness has already, umm (mouth movement muted), how is it possible!"

Hang Xinghuai hit him really hard, Jiang Wu covered his head and kicked him, "You have no respect for me, you dare to fight with me."

Hang Xinghuai was prepared for this and jumped away lightly, "Hey, you didn't kick me, hehe."

"What a joke! I'll take care of you when I get back."

"You'll forget about it when you get back."

Jiang Wu patted Zeng Hong on the shoulder and said, "Please remember this for me and remind me when you get back."

Zeng Hong nodded hesitantly, "...Okay."

After Lu Xiang finished talking, he exchanged information with Hang Xinghuai, and they all matched each other without any lies. The information was credible, so he was the prince they were looking for!

After Lu Xiang was sure, he confronted them directly.

"It's like this. The man you picked up is my young master. To be honest, we are not peddlers. We didn't make a big fuss to find him in order to hide our tracks. We were just trying our luck, but we didn't expect it to be the young master."

"Don't worry, the money won't be less." He took out a five-hundred-liang silver note, "This is all we have for now. My master promised to give ten thousand liang of gold to the person who finds the young master. You need to go to the bank with me to get the rest of the money."

"How much? Ten thousand taels of gold?!" He Sheng stood up suddenly. So much! He was really the landlord's stupid son! It wasn't picked up in vain. Moreover, he had lost his memory and didn't remember that she had watched him die without saving him. Perfect!

"Well, but don't you want to see the evidence?" He Sheng calmed down, "You admit it so easily?"

"There's nothing wrong with this face, but it would be best if you have evidence. Do you have any?"

He Lu went into the room and took out a cloth bag. He opened it and found a jade pendant. "He was wearing it at the time. I thought it was very valuable so I kept it."

Lu Xiang took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. "No problem! No problem! This belongs to my young master!"

There was absolutely no way he could be wrong about it. This was His Highness' personal jade pendant. There was only one of its kind in the world, and it was made of warm jade that was tributed from the Western Regions.

He Sheng turned around and looked at the people who were still immersed in practicing calligraphy in the corner, "Are you leaving today? I'll go with you to get the money?"

"It would be best if we could leave today, but if you have something else to do, we can wait."

He Sheng shook his head. "Forget it. It's okay. How many days will it take? I'll follow you to the bank, get the money and leave."

"The nearby town definitely can't provide that much money. I'll probably need to go to the nearest government office to get it. It will take about 5 days."

"Okay, wait for me to pack up, it will be quick." He Sheng entered the room.

Lu Xiang and Jiang Wu looked at each other and said, "Your Highness, please buy clothes on the way."

"Ah."

-

The traveling merchants came quickly and left quickly. When they left, there were two more people in the carriage, and no one knew about it except He Lu.

The yard, which had been quite lively before, suddenly became quiet. He Lu wiped the table, brought out a recliner from the house, and lay down leisurely on it to bask in the sun.

The weather is so nice.

Lu Xian didn't understand why they were leaving, but He Sheng was there, so he didn't ask anything. He sat next to He Sheng in the carriage. Facing a group of strangers, he subconsciously looked for the person he was most familiar with, so he grabbed He Sheng's hand.

He asked anxiously, "Sister, where are we going?"

"Take you home."

"Go home? But we left home." Lu Xian couldn't understand. Didn't they just leave home? Why go home?

"Go back to your home, not mine." He Sheng held up his chin and looked at him, "I'm not your elder sister either. Now your real family has found you."

Lu Xian was panicking, a strong premonition swept through his body, he couldn't tell what he felt, he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to express himself, "No, don't separate, you are my sister!"

"Forget it, whatever you want." He Sheng wondered why she should argue with him. He had forgotten everything and was like a little child. He would cry if she didn't give in to him.

Look, tears are welling up in my eyes again.

Lu Yu Xingwang, who was sitting opposite, felt like there was something stuck in his throat, like a thorn in his back, and was on pins and needles. He didn't know whether to leave or stay. This was too different from the image of His Highness in his memory, and he really couldn't accept it.

And, are those... tears? Oh my god, he could actually see His Highness crying... He finally understood why Hang Xinghuai would rather be the roof of the car than sit in it.

Yu Xingwang still couldn't bear it anymore, so he sneaked out and squeezed in outside with Lu Xiang and the others.

Five days was neither long nor short, enough for Lu Xian to get familiar with the five of them.

After getting along with them, he realized that these people were good people, would not hurt him, and would even give him delicious food! The sooner he accepted, the more friends he had.

But this peace was broken when they arrived at Ru'an Prefecture.

Because they had sent a message in advance to inform the owner of the bank, the owner of the bank agreed to their request to withdraw money.

"A total of one hundred thousand taels of silver in silver notes, please keep them safe. You can exchange them at any Qian's bank in the country." Lu Xiang wrapped the silver notes for her.

He Sheng felt so happy when he got it in his hand. Just like that? Just like that, he got 100,000 taels of silver? !

"That……"

Without waiting for Lu Xiang to speak, He Sheng took the lead and clasped his fists, "Goodbye, see you in the rivers and lakes!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Xiang called her, "Young Master, are you going to say goodbye? After this farewell, we may never meet again..."

They had all seen the affection his highness had for her in recent days, but one of them was a prince and the other was an ordinary peasant girl, so there was no chance they would ever meet again.

"No, it depends on fate. See you later." He Sheng walked away in a cool manner, took the money and left without looking back.

Lu Xiang thought of His Highness who was still in the inn. Would His Highness understand the meaning of parting? Returning to the capital... Well, maybe the imperial physician would have a solution.

He Sheng, who left, bought a horse so that she could return faster.

-

The current emperor's surname is Zhao, and his only son was named Zhao Huaixu.

Lu Xiang had heard He Sheng call him Lu Xian, but his name was not Lu Xian, and he was not her brother.

Before returning to the inn, Lu Xiang bought a lot of Zhao Huaixu's favorite food. He could only hope that the food would distract his attention, and then use an excuse to fool He Sheng into leaving.

Hang Xinghuai was drinking tea downstairs in the inn. When he saw Lu Xiang coming back alone, he guessed what happened, "He left in a very cool way."

Lu Xiang sighed, "That's right, leave it to us to deal with the consequences."

Obviously the main force behind coaxing Zhao Huaixu was Lu Xiang, who stood at the bottom of the stairs and was afraid to go up.

Hang Xinghuai finished the tea in the cup and walked to his side. "You have to face it even if you don't want to. I'm with you."

Lu Xiang gave the oil paper bag in his hand to a few of them and said, "I bought some... things that the young master likes to eat. I hope it can calm him down for the time being."

Hang Xinghuai was unsure. During the past few days of getting along, His Highness seemed to like them very much, but He Sheng's status was too special. He didn't know if they could temporarily prevent him from realizing that He Sheng had left.

Zhao Huaixu, who was upstairs, heard the footsteps and immediately ran out to see who was coming up. Seeing that it was Lu Xiang and Hang Xinghuai, he tilted his head and asked, "Where's my sister?"

He remembered that his sister went out with this man, so why was he the only one who came back?

"Your sister wanted to continue hanging out outside, so I came back first." Lu Xiang couldn't think of any other excuse.

Hang Xinghuai held up the oil-paper bag in his hand and said, "I bought you your favorite snacks. Come and see what we have!"

Zhao Huaixu stood still, "Sister, when will you come back?"

"Ming..." Hang Xinghuai was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lu Xiang.

"She'll be back in the evening, around dinner time."

Zhao Huaixu then smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for Sister."

He is best at waiting. As long as he behaves well, Sister will praise him, saying that he is a good boy and he is well behaved.

Hang Xinghuai handed him the oil paper bag and said, "Take it into the house and see what's inside."

After Zhao Huaixu went in, Hang Xinghuai lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you say it's at night? How can he possibly see He Sheng at night?"

"Believe it or not, if you say tomorrow, he will explode immediately." Lu Xiang said this and followed Zhao Huaixu into the house.

Hang Xinghuai was helpless. He understood the reason, but wasn't it impossible? They were just coaxing a child. What if he insisted on going to find He Sheng? How could they stop him? Moreover, it was entirely possible that he would slip away in the middle of the night.

I don’t know. Let’s take it one step at a time. As long as he doesn’t make trouble, everything will be fine.

Yu Xingwang walked up to him without him noticing, "What's going on?"

"He Sheng is gone."

"If he left, he left..." He suddenly widened his eyes halfway through his words, "No, it's the one who will never come back who left?"

Hang Xinghuai nodded, "Go home, it's over, now I'm just worried that His Highness can't bear it."

"So, what did you say?"

"I haven't said it yet. I just told His Highness that she was out for a walk and would be back in the evening." Hang Xinghuai spread his hands, "Do you have a good idea?"

"Can you make up a story that she doesn't want him anymore, so that he will hate Miss He?" Yu Xingwang thought this was a good idea. As long as he hated her, he would naturally not make a fuss about wanting her.

"Maybe that's a good idea. Then make up a story."

"It's very simple. We just say we are human traffickers. She sold His Highness to us. Now she has taken the money and ran away. Then we feel sorry for him and decide to tell him the truth. His Highness doesn't believe his true identity anyway."

"Simple as hell, aren't we bad guys then? Can His Highness trust us?"

"Then change it and say that we have a change of heart and decided not to sell him. We plan to protect him and take him to find his father, so that his father can avenge him."

“It still doesn’t sound plausible.”

"Ah, Your Highness, um, it's like that. There's no point being too strict. Just about enough is fine. Anyway, that Miss He doesn't want him anymore and has abandoned him."

Hang Xinghuai touched his chin and said, "Okay, I'll go in and take a look. We'll talk about this tonight."

……

As night fell, the inn brought dinner to the room.

Zhao Huaixu had been squatting at the door waiting for He Sheng to come back. He saw the waiter coming up and asked excitedly, "Is it time for dinner?"

The waiter was startled by him, but he also knew his situation, so he stepped aside and stayed away from him, "Yes, let's have dinner."

"Well, sister, you're back!" Zhao Huaixu was extremely excited. He had been waiting for his sister for a long time. When he saw his sister, he wanted her to praise him more.

He was very well behaved. He didn't run around or go out to look for her. He waited for her quietly in the room.

The door of the room does not count, and squatting at the door of the room does not count as outside the room.

He is a good boy anyway!

He stood at the stairs, waiting for He Sheng to come in so that he could see her first. He was expecting He Sheng to come in, see him and say hello to him, then touch his head and praise him for being a good boy!

Lu Xiang carefully opened a crack in the door and looked out. His room was opposite Zhao Huaixu's, and from this place he could see a little bit of the stairs, so naturally he could also see Zhao Huaixu at the stairs.

Lu Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice, "He's still thinking about it."

The other four people were also in his room, and because they were close to His Highness, it was convenient for them to observe his movements.

Lu Xiang: "He didn't even drink a sip of water the whole afternoon and just squatted at the door."

Lu Xiang: "It's no use even if I try to persuade you."
