The twins were only six years old. Although they were small, they were very brave. The two children packed their bags and left home. Everyone in Zhoujia Village soon knew about it. Because of Zhou Shuren and his help to the clan over the years, everyone at home went out to look for the children.
How fast can the two kids run? They can’t walk far in such freezing weather.
But after following the road to the county town, they still didn't see the two children, not even their footprints, but there were traces of a carriage on the road.
Xuemei covered her face and cried, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have disagreed. They wouldn't have left unconvinced."
Dong Yiyi didn't know how to comfort Xuemei. The Jiang family's twins were well-known for being bold and naughty in the village, but she was really shocked that they dared to leave home in such a cold winter.
Jiang Sheng was so anxious that he was sweating. The twins were very famous around the county, not because they looked alike, but because they had an incredibly powerful grandfather. He just hoped that someone would see the children and send them back.
Time passed little by little, and it was already afternoon, but the two boys were still not found. They even went to Lijia Village, but the two children did not go to Li's house.
They searched Zhoujia Village carefully, even the Zhou family ancestral hall, but to no avail. Neither of the two children were there.
Xuemei felt like the sky was falling. Her elder son was sensible and she rarely worried about him. The twins were different. Because they looked too similar, she and her husband were destined to favor the two children in the future.
In the capital, Rong Chuan had already arrived at the gate of Zhou's mansion. Seeing Xue Han coming out with the maids and servants, he excitedly took a step forward and said, "I am so happy to receive the letter."
He knew himself well. If he were still in the Zhou family, his feelings for Xue Han would be particularly reserved until they got married, when he would no longer suppress himself.
But now he has a background that is worthy of Xue Han, he knows himself, and he wants to express his love for Xue Han. This girl has taken root in his heart for so many years, and his heart is already full and can only accommodate the girl he loves.
He wanted to tell everyone that this was his future wife and he just wanted to pamper her.
Xue Han felt embarrassed when being stared at, "Do you still want to be stared at by my father?"
That was truly a stare like a knife. Even though it was dark, she could clearly see the gloomy look on her father's face!
Rong Chuan didn't dare, he really didn't dare, he put his hands behind his back guiltily, "I will go to the Ministry of Revenue to look for uncle these two days, what do you think about giving uncle a rare book or calligraphy and painting every day?"
Xue Han: "... My father will never forgive you."
Because this sheep is so easy to fleece, I can’t bear to let it go!
Rong Chuan burst out laughing, "You're right."
My uncle is really capable of doing it, so I have to think of a strategy. However, first I have to get the only copy from my father's collection. If that's not possible, my grandfather loves him very much, and the Ning family has a lot of collections.
Xue Han was still in a cheerful mood. She already knew from her mother's attitude that her father just wanted to teach the brave brat a lesson. Yes, Rong Chuan used to be a good boy in his father's heart, but now he had become a brat.
The two of them got on the carriage and headed straight for Rongchuan Dingdeng's shop.
This shop is a maritime merchant's shop, specializing in selling foreign goods.
Xue Han fell in love with the small glass lamp at first sight. "I heard this is very popular. You actually got it."
Rong Chuan blinked and said, "I asked my eldest and second cousins to help me decide."
He took his two nephews back to the marquis's mansion to stay for a few days, and his two cousins patted their chests and said they would definitely stay there.
Xue Han touched the glass lamp and said, "I like it very much."
Rong Chuan grinned and smiled foolishly, "In the future, as long as it is something you like, I will find a way to send it to you."
Xue Han was very touched and couldn't help teasing Rong Chuan, "My father said that life is too long and a temporary promise means nothing."
Rongchuan, “… . . . .”
He felt that his uncle was a stumbling block in his efforts to love his fiancée. At this moment, his fiancée should be looking at him with deep affection and emotion!
Maybe because he talked too much, Xue Han and Rong Chuan were dumbfounded when they left the shop.
Zhou Shuren was really surprised, very surprised. Today the prince came to the Ministry of Revenue. Since the resettlement office played a role last year, more investment has been made this year. The prince invited Zhou Shuren to take a look.
Zhou Shuren naturally agreed, so he left the Ministry of Revenue and saw the carriage of Ninghou Mansion and his own carriage.
The prince's carriage stopped and Zhou Shuren had a wooden face. So, the palace already knew what happened last night, and the prince's invitation was obviously intentional.
The prince smiled innocently, "Master Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Shuren laughed in his heart, "I have always thought that the New Year is approaching, and it should be the busiest time of the year."
Prince, "It is indeed busy."
Then Zhou Shuren in the carriage fell silent. He just waited. He wanted to see how powerful Rong Chuan was and how brave he was.
That's why Rongchuan looked stupid when he went out. He was really scared. As soon as he went out, he saw Uncle Zhou's face. Because the curtain of the carriage was not opened very wide, there was only a face, and it was looking at you with a heavy gaze, which was very scary.
Xue Han's first reaction was to smile sweetly, "Dad, Dad."
Zhou Shuren looked at his daughter, with a smile on his face, but the voice of his daughter calling him dad was too sweet. She would never call him like that at home. "It's so cold today. Did you go out without a hand warmer? Come here, I'll give you what's in your dad's hand."
Xue Han naturally wouldn't refuse, this was fatherly love, and she quickly took it, "Dad, it's so warm, Dad loves me the most."
Zhou Shuren was happy. It was true that this little girl was really spoiled. "Go home quickly."
Xue Han nodded obediently, "Yes."
After Zhou Shuren finished speaking, he lowered the carriage curtain without even looking at Rongchuan. Rongchuan's mind was full of thoughts about getting more books or paintings from his father's collection tonight.
The prince saw it clearly. When Zhou Shuren saw his daughter's tone and his expression changed so quickly, he thought, "So you are this kind of person, Lord Zhou." However, the prince thought of his only daughter, and thought that when she grows up, there will be a bad boy who will marry her. The prince understands Lord Zhou, and he will do even more extreme things.
Zhou Shuren felt very sorry. If Rongchuan wasn't the fifth prince, he really wanted to teach the brat a lesson, but now he could only ignore him.
In Zhoujia Village, Xuemei had already written a letter to send to the capital, and then the twins were sent back by the Li family.
Xuemei stopped crying. Her first reaction was to hit the two children on the back. "You want to scare me to death? You want to scare me to death!"
She was really afraid that her two children would be sold. Wouldn’t that be heartbreaking for her
It was the first time that the twins were beaten so hard by their mother. They couldn’t bear the pain and started crying.
Xuemei's mother-in-law pulled her daughter-in-law away and said, "Don't beat her yet. Thank everyone first and then teach her a lesson later."
Xuemei was no longer excited, but she thanked her sister-in-law's family first, "Thank you, thank you."
Jiang Sheng finally calmed down and asked, "Where did you find these two children?"
The fifteen-year-old boy from the third branch of the Li family, "They are very smart. They went to Mr. Zhou's house in Lijia Village and the old couple who were guarding the house, and wanted them to take them to the capital."
Xuemei was so angry that she was shaking, but she still held back and sent the Zhou family members away first. The Zhou clan leader was the last to leave. He thought for a while and said, "These two children are too naughty. You two should teach them a lesson."
He was almost scared to death today. He couldn't bear the thought that something really happened to these two children. He couldn't bear the thought.
