Boss, she was forced to be the wife

Chapter 39

Silence, only silence, Mo Luo confirmed the truthfulness of Qiao Runzhi's words from Qiao Runzhi's eyes.

He was sincere, but how would Mara respond to his sincerity?
She is not the real Wan Mo Luo. From the beginning to the end, she only has freedom in her heart. Has Qiao Runzhi ever entered her heart?

Mo Luo can take Qiao Runzhi seriously, treat him sincerely, and satisfy all his reasonable demands, but what if Qiao Runzhi wants more than these, but a soul mate, a lover who is close to each other?
Mo Luo only felt that his heart would not be moved by anyone for the time being, so he said honestly:

"I'm sorry Runzhi, I don't want to bring you false fantasies. I don't have any love or love from anyone in my heart. I just want to be free and let you be free. Before that, I can help with all your living expenses." You are responsible for taking care of it."

The light in Qiao Runzhi's eyes dimmed a lot when he heard Mo Luo say the previous words, but he immediately cheered up and said with a smile:

"It's okay, wife, we have just stabilized now. You are right to have this idea. We must find a way to survive first before we can think about love and love."

"I understand"

Although he said this, Qiao Runzhi's expression could not deceive anyone. The red corners of his eyes showed that he was holding back tears, but the tears still slipped from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.

Seeing this scene, Mara could only think of four words - beauty weeping.

She stretched out her fingers to wipe away Qiao Runzhi's tears, sighed and then said:

"I am not a good man. There is a better way out with Nangong Tou than with me. He is a member of the royal family, with power and status. Even if you leave me in the future, you can find a better home and your own future."

Mo Luo's words were to the point, but she didn't know how much Qiao Runzhi on the other side could listen to, let alone how strong Qiao Runzhi's feelings for her were.

In fact, Mo Luo didn't understand very well. He was almost never at home day and night. It stands to reason that Qiao Runzhi shouldn't be so deeply attached to him.

Recently, she also faintly felt that other husbands' attitudes towards her had changed significantly, but in her eyes, she didn't actually do anything.

It would not be a good thing if this continued. If all the husbands in the future were like Qiao Runzhi, crying and unwilling to leave him, Mo Luo felt that he was one step further away from freedom.

"My wife, don't say that. My wife is very good in my heart."

Mo Luo secretly sighed, the group of husbands surrounded by the heroine and the hero in the book are all wonderful people, she can't use violence, but even in the normal way of getting along like now, the fetters are added, this is not what Mo Luo wants to see of.

After sending Qiao Runzhi away, Mo Luo lay on the bed and thought about it, and decided to send Nangong Tou back to the palace as soon as possible.

In this way, Nangong Tou, who has regained power, can take away all his good brothers.

Besides, Mo Luo was still wondering, the male lead has been around for so long, why hasn't the female lead appeared yet?

Mo Luo didn't read the whole book, but only knew the plot roughly. The important time points in the book, the time when the hero and heroine met for the first time, Mo Luo didn't know anything.

She can only cross the river by feeling the stones like a blind man, live her life well, and be ready to face the unknown ups and downs.

-

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that Yuan's Day is around the corner, Mo Luo is still living in a leisurely manner as before.

I went to Chen's hometown early in the morning to do some work, and until the 29th of the New Year, Mara got a few buckets of water and was sitting in the yard washing clothes.

During this time, Mara came here every day. Ono and the big yellow dog have become good friends. They are always in the yard with Mara, and they play in the yard while Mara is working.

Chen Lao opened the door to bask in the sun, looked at Mo Luo who was washing clothes in the yard, sighed, walked in front of Mo Luo and said:

"You will stop doing these things after the new year."

"Master?"

Mo Luo looked at Mr. Chen with some doubts, waiting for Mr. Chen's follow-up.

Sure enough, Mr. Chen took out a thin handmade book from his arms. It was said to be a book, but it was actually just a few pages of paper connected in series with a thin rope and written on it.

"You memorize what is written on it, and when I come back in a year, I will start training you."

Mara wiped his wet hands on his clothes and carefully took the book with both hands. He saw four big characters written on the cover - Iron Fan Heart Sutra.

"Thank you Master, this is the heart method!"

Mo Luo stood up and looked at Mr. Chen happily. Mr. Chen nodded, squinted his eyes against the sun and said:

"I wrote this. Decades have passed, but I still know it by heart. You have to know that you must also know it by heart. Even if you die, you can't forget it. Do you understand?!"

Seeing Mr. Chen in front of him change his nostalgic expression to a serious expression, Mo Luo also put away his excited look, and said seriously:
"Now that I know Master, the disciple will definitely know everything by heart."

"Well, you can leave this morning after you finish your work. You don't need to come before the fifteenth day. I have something to go on a long trip."

"Good master, do you need me to help you prepare anything?"

Mr. Chen waved his hands, suddenly thought of something, turned around and said to Mo Luo:

"If it were your friend"

"Du Liufang"

Seeing that Mr. Chen couldn't remember, Mo Luo quickly reminded him.

"Yes, it's her. If she wants to come, you can let her come today; if she doesn't come, you can let her come again in fifteen days. During this period, ten kilometers and twenty barrels of water cannot be interrupted."

Mara nodded, took note of the master's words and said:
"The disciple went to talk to Liu Fang at noon."

By noon, Mo Luo had prepared the meal and said goodbye to Mr. Chen, then went to Liufang Pavilion.

At this time, Du Liufang had just finished running ten kilometers. When he saw Mo Luo coming, he was about to speak when he heard Mo Luo say:

"Master will go out to do business tomorrow, let me give you a word: If you want to go, go today; if you don't go there today, go there in fifteen days, but the ten kilometers and twenty barrels of water cannot be interrupted during this period."

"What?!"

Du Liufang looked at Mo Luo in shock, and after confirming what Mo Luo said, he broke down and said:
"Why didn't this old guy tell me earlier, I'm going now, my good sister, I can't accompany you today, you can do it yourself!"

After speaking, Du Liufang rushed into the back room, changed her clothes, and left in a hurry.

Mo Luo was left alone to look at the empty Liufang Pavilion helplessly. Du Liufang had left, so she had no point staying here. So she simply closed Liufang Pavilion temporarily. Anyway, Mo Luo knew where the lock was.

After setting up Liufang Pavilion, Mo Luo went to the martial arts training ground.

As the New Year approached, many teachers and sisters asked Hua Sanniang for leave to return home. The original owner's parents had already left in this world, let alone Mo Luo, so she asked Yuan Ri to stay on duty.

The always bustling martial arts training ground became much busier with the arrival of the Yuan Day Festival. Mo Luo walked into the martial arts training ground and picked up his sword and fiddled with it a few times, until he felt his body warm up before standing still and panting slightly.

At this time, there was a sound of applause, and Mo Luo turned his head to see that Hua Sanniang had arrived at some time, walking towards Mo Luo's direction.

"Your swordsmanship has become more and more refined. During this time, you have lost a lot of weight and also gained a lot of strength!"

Hua Sanniang walked up to Hammer Moluo's shoulder with her fist, and laughed heartily a few times.

Mo Luo also exchanged a few words with Hua Sanniang, and Hua Sanniang asked as if she suddenly thought of something:
"By the way, Lao Chen hasn't started teaching you the iron fan yet?"

Mara shook his head and said:
"Master said that he will start training me in the next year."

When Hua Sanniang heard this, she also sighed and said:

"Old Chen really has a lot of fancy stuff. If I finish teaching early, I'll finish the work early. It won't be long before I have to drag it back and forth!"

The two chatted for a while, and Mo Luo went to stand guard when the time came.

Tomorrow is the Yuan Day Festival. Tonight's night market will be open all night. All the elderly, children and men can come out to play and hang out. The three days of the Yuan Day Festival are the only days in a year when people are not prohibited from going out.

Mara returned home after changing his shift today.

As soon as I got home, I saw red paper-cuts pasted everywhere in the house. After asking Qiao Runzhi, I found out that it was Dan'er who handed over his craft to Wei Xicai and Ji Chen. The two cut a lot on a whim. All posted at home.

Jiliang and Jichen's boys' school is also on holiday for the past two days, and they just finished the after-school homework assigned by the teacher in the morning.

But Wang Yi and Nangong Tou were still bored in the room, planning something.

Mo Luo knew that even if Nangong Tou had a plan, he would not tell him about it, so he didn't waste his time asking. She also had to watch at night.

When the time comes, act randomly. If you don't need yourself, that's naturally the best.

After making up his mind, Mo Luo simply had a New Year's Eve dinner with everyone at home and then went out again.

The scope of this night patrol was not only Duke Zhou's Mansion, but also the market in front of Duke Zhou's Mansion.

There will be a lot more people at the night market during the Lantern Festival due to the large number of old people, children and men.

At this time, each state government will send its own guards to look after the streets closest to the mansion.

Mo Luo was arranged in the street closest to Zhou Guogong's mansion. She had no idea about the Yuan Day Festival, which is the Spring Festival in modern times, but there are no TVs and mobile phones here. People's entertainment has changed to visiting night markets, watching performances and fireworks.

Today's market is particularly lively, with lights and colorful decorations, and various performers. Mora walks among the crowd and feels the lively atmosphere, but his eyes are alert to observe the movements around him.

So that someone making trouble can be dealt with in time.

But when Mo Luo was looking at six roads and listening to all directions, he unexpectedly saw two people in front of a shop——Zhou Ang and Nangong Tou.

Mo Luo had guessed before that the reason why Nangong Tou had not returned to the royal family was because Zhou Ang interfered and found someone to secretly monitor Nangong Tou, and tried every means to cut off the contact between Nangong Tou and the royal family.

Now I am not surprised to see the two of them. It must be that Nangong Tou knew Zhou Ang's thoughts and went the opposite way and offered to date her. people.

Mo Luo glanced at the two of them and his mind was already spinning a thousand times, but he turned his head in just a short moment, pretending that he hadn't seen them at all.

Continue your patrol.

It's just that someone patted her behind her suddenly, and when she turned around, it was none other than Wang Yi.

He wore a dark red dress today, and the veil on his face blocked his charming facial features. Even if only a pair of loving eyes were left, you could still feel his charm.

"My wife, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here."

Wang Yi was still so polite, and Mo Luo didn't follow suit, but said lightly:
"Unfortunately, I am here on patrol."

Wang Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:
"My wife is still so cold~"

Seeing Mo Luo walking forward, Wang Yi hurriedly followed up, and said while walking:
"Can I ask my wife a few questions?"

Seeing that Mara did not answer, Wang Yi thought to himself and said:
"Why is my wife so cold to me? Is it true that there is no one in my heart?"

The meaning in Wang Yi's words is self-evident, it is just to test which of these husbands Mo Luo is sincere to, but unfortunately what Mo Luo does not have for these husbands is the sincerity of the relationship between men and women.

Mo Luo glanced at Wang Yi who was following him and said:

"Then, who do you have true feelings for?"

Wang Yi was taken aback by these words, he didn't talk and laugh with Mo Luo as before, but just stood there in a daze.

On the contrary, Mo Luo kept walking, waved his hand at Wang Yi and said:
"You'd better take good care of your master."

Mo Luo's words brought Wang Yi back to his senses, and when he looked again, Nangong Tou and Zhou Ang were no longer where they were just now.

Wang Yi secretly said that he was careless, and quickly followed the route planned with Nangong Tou to the next shop location.

After seeing the two, he felt relieved, and then saw Nangong Tou also looking at him, knowing that the plan was about to be implemented.

-

After walking around along the patrol route, Mo Luo found nothing unusual for the time being. Just when she was about to take a rest, she suddenly heard the exclusive alarm of the escort team.

She stepped forward quickly and saw Zhou Ang walking towards this side with a gloomy face and several guards.

Several guards who were with Mo Luo also saw Zhou Ang and the others, and rushed to meet them.

"Master Zhou!"

Several people saluted Zhou Ang first when they saw Zhou Ang, Zhou Ang waved his hand, and then asked Mo Luo and the others:
"Did you see the man I was with just now?"

Several people shook their heads in confusion. Although Mo Luo only saw it once but had no idea what happened next, he also shook his head.

Seeing that no one had seen Nangong Tou, Zhou Ang briefly described his clothing, and then ordered everyone to find Nangong Tou as soon as possible.

"Wan Moluo, have you really never seen him?"

When Mo Luo turned to leave, Zhou Ang's cold voice came from behind him, and Mo Luo turned around and bowed and replied:

"Back to Young Master, this subordinate has never seen the man next to you."

Zhou Ang cast doubtful eyes on Mo Luo, and then a low voice came:

"You know who that person is, and you have to bring him back no matter what, do you understand? The consequences of deceiving me are not something you, a little guard, can accept!"

Zhou Ang's whispers sounded in Mo Luo's ears. If others were scared, their legs would have been weak, but in Mo Luo's view, this is a bit ridiculous——

Yo, threaten me?

Mo Luo quietly raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Ang's white and clean neck close at hand. He suddenly had the urge to pull out the sword from his waist and cut open the flesh of her soft and fragile neck to let blood spurt out.

Such a close-range threat, if he was really a traitor or spy, Zhou Ang would have died a hundred times already.

After all, he is still young, and he doesn't know what it means to be wise and protect one's life.

It's just that Mo Luo didn't do anything after all, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up, hiding in the shadows and promising Zhou Ang:

"Young Lord, don't worry, my subordinates only do things and don't care about other things. I will definitely try my best to find this person."

-

The streets in the capital city were decorated with lights and festoons, and in the dark alley, Nangong Tou changed into a night clothes, and gave Wang Yi the clothes he had worn out.

"Young master, you must be careful when you go to the princess mansion this time!"

Nangong Tou nodded, looked at Wang Yi's worried look and said to him:
"You go back along the path, remember to be careful in everything, and if anyone asks you, you say you haven't seen me."

"My subordinate understands."

The master and servant parted at this point, and Nangong Tou walked along the winding path, and soon arrived at the Princess Mansion.

This is the mansion of Nangong Tou's eldest sister, Nangong Rong. Just because she wanted to help Nangong Tou by preventing him from marrying the Huns, she angered the mother emperor. Now Nangong Rong is still locked up in the princess's mansion.

It's just that although Nangong Rong couldn't go out, all the courtiers got permission from the queen to enter the princess mansion to watch the new year with the princess.

At this time, the Princess Mansion has been silent for more than half a year. Today is a time of chaos, and there must be some oversights in the administration. Nangong Tou must seize this opportunity to get to know his eldest sister.

After he recognizes his elder sister, he will definitely report Zhou Ang's actions to His Majesty the Empress.

It was also quite strange that the marriage was interrupted, and he was attacked inexplicably on the road. Nangong Tou also suspected that someone in the court wanted to kill him.

But there is no conclusive evidence to indicate which faction he belongs to. He must come back and become a prince again!
Nangong Tou had the best relationship with Nangong Rong before. As siblings of the same father and mother, the two are very close.

Nangong Tou knew all the layout of the Princess Mansion, and also knew where to enter the Princess Mansion without being discovered by others.

When building the Princess Mansion, Nangong Rong deliberately built a secret passage behind the rockery in the mansion, leading directly to a dark and deserted path.

Nangong Tou followed this path all the way into the Princess Mansion.

Arriving behind the rockery in the Princess Mansion, Nangong Tou breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone talking in the pond in front of the rockery——

"Ruan Qingliu, you dandy, don't think that you are so proud because the Queen praised you yesterday for your success in suppressing the rebellion! Who do you think you are? If it weren't for your old lady, who would recognize you!"

Faintly, Nangong Tou heard a mean voice scolding someone. If he wanted to leave the rockery, there would be a dead end at the back. Only by going down the front and crossing the pond could he go anywhere else.

Reluctantly, Nangong Tou had no choice but to find a secluded place, hide under the cover of night, and listen to the conflict between the two.

"Aren't you free? Seeing other people's meritorious service is jealous? What's the dog's name here?"

"what!"

Following a woman's scream, there was a splash of falling into the water, followed by the sound of splashing water and the faint cry of the man for help.

Nangong Tou didn't expect that one of the two confronting people would strike first, and he was very surprised——

This is the princess's mansion. Who can be so blind as to dare to act so boldly? !
The thumping sound soon attracted people from the Princess Mansion, and after a while of panic, the person was rescued, but no one paid attention to the woman who pushed her into the water. When Nangong was feeling puzzled, she only felt that there was an extra person beside her.

He was so frightened that just as he wanted to yell, his mouth was covered with a hand, and the faint smell of orchid grass could be heard in his ears:

"You better shut up, or you will be the next to die!"

There was an unserious tone in the voice, but the words he spoke were full of threats.

Nangong Tou nodded, and the person on the opposite side released his hand after confirming that Nangong Tou really wouldn't shout. At this time, Nangong Tou took a few breaths to calm down and asked:
"who are you?"

The man smiled lowly, and then said:

"You don't even know me, Ruan Qingliu, have you heard of me?"

Ruan Qingliu and Nangong Tou reacted for a moment, then immediately remembered who it was——

This is the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War, the most ignorant dandy in the capital city. After spending a year in the romantic place, the Minister of the Ministry of War finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked the Queen to send her to the frontiers of the Southern Kingdom and Huangfu Kingdom.

Within a few months, I received a booklet from Ruan Qingliu, crying and asking to come back!
I didn't expect that she actually came back!
The shock in Nangong Tou's heart was beyond words. He couldn't see Ruan Qingliu's face in the dark, and Nangong Tou felt a little suffocated.

Hearing no response from the person opposite, Ruan Qingliu smiled and said:
"It seems that you know me, so who are you?"

Ruan Qingliu asked the question while observing the movements outside. When he saw everyone picking up the unconscious man, he took him to the guest room to find the imperial doctor.

Everyone's eyes were focused on that person, and no one paid attention to this place at all.

Ruan Qingliu breathed a sigh of relief when they were all gone, and then took out a fire pocket from her arms, and after blowing on it twice, the first thing she did was to shine on Nangong.

He couldn't see clearly in the darkness. Nangong Tou realized Ruan Qingliu's intention when he brought the Huozhezi to him. He quickly reached out to cover his face, but Ruan Qingliu pulled off the mask a step too late.

"Is it you? Nangong Tou?"

"you know me?!"

Nangong Tou felt even more chilled when he heard Ruan Qingliu call out his name, but Ruan Qingliu smiled brightly and said:
"That's natural. Who doesn't know the famous talents in Kyoto City?"

Nangong Tou felt bitter in his heart, now he only felt that he was too famous, and now it was not a good thing.

But Ruan Qingliu's next words made Nangong Tou feel much better:

"The person I kicked down just now is Wei An, your former fiancée."

"By the way, weren't you sent to get married and disappeared? Why are you in the Princess Mansion?"

When Nangong Tou heard that it was Wei Yu who was kicked off, a feeling of pleasure suddenly arose in his heart. Faced with Ruan Qingliu's inquiry, he subconsciously said:
"Because of this, I urgently need to recognize my elder sister."

"Well, then I'll take you there!"

Speaking of which, Ruan Qingliu directly pulled Nangong Tou up and ignored Nangong Tou's blank face, pulled him out of the rockery and ran towards Nangong Rong's room.
