Frost shines on Qingcheng

The next day, when Lu Qingrong and others were about to leave, Shen Shuangzhao stretched her neck and waited for a long time but did not see Caier's figure.

"It's getting late, we won't be able to go back to Sand Sea before it gets dark." Lu Qingrong stood beside the camel and said to Shen Shuangzhao.

Shen Shuang looked disconcerted, and finally looked away.She walked to Lu Qingrong's side rather disappointed: "Cai'er won't come, let's go."

"I didn't expect you to have such a deep relationship in just a few days." I couldn't tell whether it was irony or sourness.

"It's not deep, I just met her by chance. I'm very pleased and grateful that I can still make a friend in a foreign land." Shen Shuangzhao recalled her getting along with Caier in the past few days, feeling a lot.At first she didn't like to be in contact with strangers like Caier, but Caier's pure and enthusiastic temperament is very contagious.But in a few days, Shen Shuangzhao got used to Cai'er following behind her asking questions.

Lu Qingrong: "Where there is a meeting, there must be a parting. Fate and fate are too difficult to say, maybe someday you will meet again."

Shen Shuangzhao shook her head, it's too hard to say what will happen in the future.He also felt that he would not be able to wait for Cai'er today, so he had no choice but to turn around and set off.She walked with Lu Qingrong and said, "Don't mention this first. I just want to ask, since I'm going back to Shahai, has Miss Lu thought about how to deal with me?"

Her words reminded Lu Qingrong of their relationship.To be honest, saving Shen Shuangzhao back then was really a whim of hers, but now she began to regret that she had brought back a big trouble.That's right, she doesn't know how she will get along with Shen Shuangzhao after returning to Shahai.

"Do you still want to go back to Shuilan City?" Lu Qingrong asked.

Shen Shuangzhao nodded without hesitation: "I'm from Shuilan City, so naturally I want to go back."

Lu Qingrong lowered her eyes, unexpectedly a few strands of unknown disappointment appeared.After a long silence, she said, "What if I don't allow it?"

Hearing such overbearing and unreasonable words, Shen Shuangzhao was not surprised at all: "I never expected you to let me go back." From the very beginning, Shen Shuangzhao knew that Lu Qingrong would not let her go, "But even so, I still don't want to go back." Change. And, I believe I will always find an opportunity."

"Your belief is just your wishful thinking." Lu Qingrong seemed to be mocking her, "I will not let you have this opportunity."

Shen Shuang raised her brows: "Then you have to watch me closely, otherwise I might cause trouble in the sand sea."

Lu Qingrong glanced at her sideways, with an arrogant and indifferent look.She jumped onto the horse alone, not wanting to talk to Shen Shuangzhao anymore.

Shen Shuangzhao walked slowly beside her horse. Compared with her standing on the ground, Lu Qingrong was too tall on the horse. Even if she raised her head, she could only see a silhouette of Lu Qingrong. .

-----------------------------------------------------------

Back in the sand sea, Huan Hong was already waiting for Lu Qingrong.Before Lu Qingrong reached the gate of the inner city, Huan Hong couldn't wait to greet him.

"Miss, you finally came back safely. Huan Hong has been worried about you for the past few days." Huan Hong spoke so sincerely that she almost shed tears.

Compared to her enthusiasm, Lu Qingrong seemed much colder: "How is everything going in the city when I'm not around?"

Huanhong said: "Everything is fine. The city lord came back the day before yesterday."

"Oh? My dad is back too?" Lu Qingrong showed some emotion, "Where are the others?"

"The city lord was reviewing papers in the main hall, he..." Huan Hong hesitated to speak.

"What's up with him?"

Huan Hong showed a worried look: "The city lord is quite annoyed at the fact that you have been away from the city for the past few days, miss. The city lord must be in a bad mood these two days. If you want to go to him, miss, you must be careful...don't Add fuel to the fire."

Lu Qingrong nodded: "I know, let's go in." As soon as she took a step, she thought of Shen Shuangzhao again.She turned to Huanhong and said, "You take Shen Shuangzhao to Jing Mingxuan's courtyard."

"Where is that?" Shen Shuang asked.

Lu Qingrong glanced at her coldly: "The room where you lifted my veil."

"..." Still brooding.

"Huan Hong, take good care of her, don't let her run around."

Huan Hong didn't even look at Shen Shuangzhao directly, and recalled the scene of Shen Shuangzhao pressing Lu Qingrong on the bed that night, feeling very uncomfortable, and she even said reluctantly: "Yes——"

Lu Qingrong was still worried. She thought about it and turned her head. Regardless of Shen Shuangzhao's willingness or not, she pinched Shen Shuangzhao's face and looked left and right: "I will deal with the injuries you left on your body a few days ago. You are in the mirror Mingxuan is so kind to wait for me, if you cause trouble again, I will really cut off your hand."

Shen Shuangzhao nodded, she would not run around without Lu Qingrong telling her.She was not familiar with the inner city of Shahai, so she might be hacked to death by the guards as an assassin.She is still counting on returning to Shuilan City, so this life is naturally to be kept.

Seeing her obediently agreeing, Lu Qingrong left in a huff.

Huan Hong was in an extremely bad mood, she hated Shen Shuangzhao very much since before.However, Lu Qingrong kept getting involved with her time and time again. Recently, he not only slept in the same bed with her, but also took her out of the city, thinking about Huanhong made her angry.

"Let me ask you, did you take good care of my young lady on the way?" Huanhong said in a bad tone.

Shen Shuangzhao is fearless: "Miss Lu is such a powerful person, I don't need to take care of her."

"Are you giving her trouble?"

"Probably not. I don't dare to make a mistake under the eyes of your young lady." In fact, it was the same. Shen Shuangzhao and Lu Qingrong collected and decocted medicine, and she also contributed a lot to cure the disease in the village.

Huan Hong had nothing to say, but she was unwilling to let Shen Shuangzhao go easily, and said sharply: "Miss took you out of the city once, don't think that she treats you special. You are just brought back by her." As a prisoner, the lady has the final say on life or death. If you dare to cause trouble in the sand sea, I will not spare you!"

Shen Shuangzhao didn't care about her words, put on an indifferent look, and didn't want to start a dispute with Huan Hong, so she just answered softly as an answer.

Even so, Huan Hong was still wary of Shen Shuangzhao.What worried her even more was Lu Qingrong's attitude towards Shen Shuangzhao. Whether it was sharing the same bed before, or Lu Qingrong pinching her face just now, it didn't seem like something Lu Qingrong would do.But those things did happen again, and they were all witnessed by themselves—it was really too ambiguous.

Her master has always been ruthless and ruthless, but during this period of time, this little girl from the outer city made her become erratic, showing a face that was quite unfamiliar to her.This is too abnormal, so abnormal that it makes Huanhong anxious.

Huan Hong secretly glanced at Shen Shuangzhao from the corner of her eye, and closed her eyes sullenly.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Lu Qingrong didn't even have time to change her clothes, and hurried straight to the main hall.Outside the hall, the two maids standing by the door bowed down to salute her.Lu Qingrong nodded, signaling for both of them to keep quiet.

Lu Yuanzheng sat in front of the case, bowed his head and concentrated on handling affairs.Lu Qingrong approached him softly, and before she could make a sound, Lu Yuanzheng opened his mouth without raising his head: "You're back?"

Lu Qingrong seemed very obedient: "Father."

Lu Yuanzheng still didn't raise his eyes to look at him, and lowered his head to review with a pen.He didn't speak, and Lu Qingrong didn't make a sound, just stood there quietly and waited for him.

After a while, Lu Yuanzheng raised his head from a pile of papers.He got up and walked down from the upper seat without haste.

Seeing him walking in front of him, Lu Qingrong bowed slightly: "Father."

Lu Yuanzheng reached out to take off her veil, looked at her carefully, and finally landed on Lu Qingrong's right arm.His hand touched Lu Qingrong's sleeve: "Is this journey very hard? Look at you, a big girl's family, you don't even know that your sleeve is torn."

Lu Qingrong turned her head to look at her right arm, and the sleeve was indeed cut.She said: "It's not hard work. Maybe I accidentally scratched my clothes when I went to the mountains to collect herbs. I was busy with the epidemic in those days, so I didn't have time to take care of clothes."

Lu Yuanzheng frowned inadvertently, raised his hand, straightened Lu Qingrong's clothes slightly, his face was full of pity: "I told you a long time ago, let those subordinates do these things, look at you You must be exhausted from the travel and dust. Although I have been strict with you since I was a child, I am your father after all, and what I hope most is that you can take good care of yourself."

The day before yesterday when he came back from abroad, he wanted to see his daughter, but Huanhong told him that Lu Qingrong had been away for several days.At that time, he was annoyed, not only because there was no leader in the city, but also because he was worried about Lu Qingrong's safety when he went out.The environment outside Shahai City was treacherous, and even horse bandits appeared. Lu Qingrong only brought a small team, how could he be assured?

But his own flesh and blood is his own flesh and blood, no matter how great his anger was, the moment he saw Lu Qingrong completely dissipated.Seeing his daughter's thin face, he was very distressed.

Lu Qingrong restrained her sharpness in front of others, and was as docile as a rabbit: "Daddy cares about and orders my daughter, and she always remembers it in her heart. This time I went out of the city in person, because the disease in the village was serious, and Doctor Ge couldn't find a way. The lives of a village, I thought it would be better to go and have a look. Fortunately, after I went, I found an effective prescription to deal with the epidemic, and I didn't run in vain."

Lu Yuanzheng nodded, no longer looking at her, but turned his back on her: "Qingrong..." There was too much bitterness in the long ending.

"Huh?" Lu Qingrong saw him hesitate to speak.

Lu Yuanzheng shook his head with his back to her, as if he was upset about something: "It's nothing."

Although he didn't say anything, looking at his reaction, Lu Qingrong still guessed something.She knew it was her father's sore spot, and seeing him in pain for so many years, she couldn't bear to touch it again, so she changed the topic: "Father, I went to Qingcheng some time ago, and I got something that could make that man let go. Things." Lu Qingrong said.

"Really?" Lu Yuanzheng's mood was turned by these words, and his deep voice sounded particularly cold in the huge main hall, "Very good. After two days, I will meet him in person."

Lu Qingrong remained calm, but her breathing became rapid.

"You are tired too, go back to your room and rest earlier."

Lu Qingrong bowed and resigned. When she left the hall, she let out a heavy breath.Looking at the red sky in the distance outside the hall, she left.
