Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 229 Fried Mountain
She was complaining when she heard an aggrieved voice from the door: "If we hadn't gone out to inquire about the news, would you be able to know so many things outside while you were sitting in the room?"

Shen Ruo turned to look and said with a smile, "So, what new news did you get today?"

Qiao Ran glanced at her, and said lightly, "I've been running around for a long time, and you don't know how to care about me first."

"..."

She was speechless for a moment, then poured a cup of tea: "Here, drink water."

"too hot."

"Then you can drink it when it's cold." He was used to it.

Instead, he was wronged first: "You bullied me, you really just used me as a tool, and you threw me aside when it was useless."

"Before I was asked to play the stunning beauty and called me Xiao Tiantian, but now I just think of me as a yellow-faced woman."

"..." Since when did she call him Britney, don't slander her!

Fortunately, the maid in Huainan Mansion was clever, and immediately asked someone to bring a bowl of chilled mung bean paste from the kitchen: "Please, Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Ran raised her eyebrows proudly at her: "Look at her, she knows how to do things."

"..." She is a doctor, but not in the service industry.

It's just that he was dawdling, and as soon as he picked up the bowl to drink, he was snatched away by another pair of little hands and drank it all: "Phew! It's too hot today, even on a boat. It’s really leisure time to go digging mountains.”

"Shen Xiulin!"

Lin'er raised the back of her hand, wiped the water stains from the corner of her mouth, and looked over with disapproval: "Don't be so stingy, I'm thirsty, I haven't disliked your saliva yet."

Qiao Ran's forehead twitched: "I haven't even taken a sip yet."

Lin'er ignored him, looked at the maid beside her, holding a bowl, and said with a lovely smile, "Can you add another bowl, this mung bean paste is really delicious."

But Shen Ruo knocked on the head: "You can't drink too much ice, have you forgotten about the diarrhea last time?"

"But I'm still thirsty." Lin'er pursed her mouth aggrievedly, saw that there was still a glass of water on the table, seemed untouched, picked it up and drank it.

When Qiao Ran saw it, she hurriedly said, "Wait, that's mine..."

It's a pity that he was still a step too late. When he snatched it, there was only an empty glass left, "You!"

Lin'er stuck out her tongue at him: "Sister Qiao poured water, so I won't let you drink it!"

"Okay, you did it on purpose!"

He was about to teach Lin'er a little lesson, but was stabbed by the little guy, hid behind Shen Ruo, and made a face at him: "Liue, you can't hit him."

"Okay, you two, stop fighting. It's cold in the room, and you'll be sweating for a while, so be careful of catching a cold." She held Lin'er, made him sit on the stool, and looked at Qiao Ran, who was still angry, "You too , are adults, what do you care about with children?"

Qiao Ran was wronged: "You know how to protect him."

Lin'er hugged Shen Ruo's arm, her small face was very proud: "She is me... sister, of course she protects me."

Jiang Yunya, who was sitting across from her, looked at the deep affection between mother and child, raised her eyebrows calmly, and tapped the table with her fingertips: "What do you mean by digging mountains just now?"

"It's just digging mountains." Lin'er propped his face on the table with both hands, and his lower legs dangled, "It seems that the second uncle posted a notice, asking people in the city to help with ten taels of silver a day." Many people have gone to dig mountains and land.”

The address of Second Uncle made the corners of Shen Ruo's mouth twitch uncontrollably. He bowed his head and corrected seriously: "I will be called Second Prince or Second Highness from now on, remember?"

Lin'er raised her head, with an innocent expression on her face: "But, Nanny Qin asked me to call him that."

She was serious: "Who do you listen to?"

"Listen to... my sister."

"Well, good."

Qiao Ran didn't care much about the interaction between the two of them, but Jiang Yunya frowned slightly, as if he said casually: "The little prince is a prince after all, if you act like this, if you let people in the palace see you, be careful not to be seen by others." A crime of seducing the royal blood."

"You mean me?" Shen Ruo pointed at herself a little embarrassingly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

But it was hard to explain, so I had to answer, "Okay, I will pay attention."

Qiao Ran helped to change the topic, and got back to the business: "The second prince is really smart, and he knows how to ask the people all over the city to help him."

"I just don't know if he can hear it when he has dropped so much money."

Qiao Ran's eyes widened: "What do you mean, is the treasure a fake?"

Shen Ruo shrugged: "I didn't say that, whether it's true or not depends on whether he can come up with something."

"Let's just watch it like this? If it's true, wouldn't it be him who took the lead?"

"If it's true," she smiled lightly, "then grab it again."

Anyway, it's okay if this treasure is fake, but if it's real, then it must not fall into the hands of the second prince and his family.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen also sent someone to come, he will not return to the city these days, and wants to watch the actions of the second prince and others.

The digging lasted for five full days, Feng Xi was sent to help, Lin'er had to stay in the mansion obediently, Qiao Ran ran out of the mansion from time to time to see the digging situation, and then came back to report to Shen Ruo.

At noon that day, a roar was heard in the distance.

Even in the palace, a slight tremor was felt, and even a few wisps of fine ash fell from the beams and landed in the cup in Shen Ruo's hand.

"This is?"

Jiang Yunya immediately ordered someone to check the situation. Before the person he sent came back, Qiao Ran ran back in a hurry: "Crazy! They are all a bunch of lunatics!"

Shen Ruo couldn't help but asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

"What about Xiao Ting, who actually sent someone to bring thousands of catties of gunpowder over here, blowing up a whole mountainous area. Luckily, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been crushed to death by the falling gravel."

"What about the rest?"

He shook his head: "I don't know, I rode all the way back."

Shen Ruo pursed her lips tightly, and touched her heart, since the Gu worm didn't move, it meant that Xiao Chen and the others should be fine.

Having said that, she still couldn't help but feel worried, her fingers tapped on the table subconsciously, but was held by the other hand, Jiang Yunya said in relief: "Fufeng has already gone to investigate, and there will be results soon, King Jing is very skilled in martial arts, so nothing will happen."

"Yeah." She nodded reluctantly.

Fortunately, Fufeng came back soon, and Jiang Yuanjin and the others also came back, but Xiao Chen was not among them.

Jiang Yuanjin couldn't help complaining: "This Xiao Ting is quite capable. Under so many people's secret surveillance, he actually transported so much gunpowder. We didn't realize it. He almost died in the rocks." pile."

Shen Ruo couldn't help asking: "Where's Xiao Chen? Why didn't he come back?"

"Miss Qiao, don't worry, King Jing has followed the second prince down to the tunnel." The elegant gentleman reassured her.

"typical?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Yuanjin sneered, "I didn't expect him to blow up the treasure with such a reckless method. It's a pity that Mr. Jun and I don't know martial arts, so we can only let King Jing follow them first." went in."
