Chapter 548: Take You Home

Miss Zhao seemed to hear the sound of her own heart breaking quietly.

Such a good-looking person is like the clouds in the sky, always floating high up in the sky and never coming down, not even giving you a glance out of the corner of his eye.

At this moment, his eyes were staring at his beloved girl with tenderness and sparkling light.

After Miss Zhao finished her depressed expression, she stared at Yu Linlang.

This glance made her stunned again. She had previously been complaining in her mind that the first female official of the dynasty must be very capable and scheming, but she had never heard of her outstanding appearance, so it must be unsatisfactory.

Now, Miss Zhao seemed to be dazed by the beauty of others and was unable to speak for a long time until the couple left the garden hand in hand with their servants, and then she came to her senses.

The little maid was inexplicably a little flustered, "Miss, do you think we are in trouble?"

What should I do? I originally invited them to the front hall for dinner, but now they just left the house without eating. How can I explain this to the master?

She had definitely caused trouble, but Zhao Yueru didn't know the serious consequences of this at this time.

When Prefect Zhao learned that his daughter had done such a shameless thing, he flew into a rage.

Because from then on, he never had a meal with the Crown Prince and his wife again.

People simply ignored his invitations to dinner and avoided him like the plague, not wanting to have anything to do with him at all, as if they were worried about being blackmailed by his daughter.

The two sides simply talked about official business, such as checking two books of grain registered in the warehouse, and listening to his report on how to resettle the victims.

After every chat, without him even asking, the prince would wave his hand coldly and say, "Today, Lang'er and I are going to try some special snacks from Pingjiang Prefecture. Please don't send anyone to disturb us."

Most of the shops outside are closed! Where can we go to try the local delicacies? This is actually a polite refusal.

It was two days later that Prefect Zhao learned of this matter. Yu Linlang, Mu Zhao and others had quietly left the government office at ten o'clock in the night.

Instead of taking the carriage he specially arranged for him, he hired two carriages in the city and headed towards Guiyun Villa in Lake Tai.

When Prefect Zhao learned about the stupidity of his daughter, he scolded his wife Wang harshly, and then quickly found a wealthy and reliable family for the girl who had high expectations but poor skills, and married her off quickly.

We can't delay any longer. If a girl delays any longer, it will be even harder for her to find a husband.

Prefect Zhao didn't care how the girl cried and made a fuss about not wanting to marry down. Her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words were binding, and she had to marry even if she didn't want to, unless she wanted to leave the clan.

Would the girl dare to do that? Of course not. If the girl lost her family, her life would only become more difficult.

Yu Linlang naturally couldn't take this matter to heart. To her, it was just a small episode.

Besides, it's not surprising that a girl prefers a handsome man. Who doesn't like to look at beautiful women? She also likes...

For a person as beautiful as Mu Huaizhi, unless you are blind, you would want to take a few more glances at him. This is human nature.

But most people are attracted by Mu Huaizhi's handsome appearance first, unlike her. She has a sharp eye and can see at a glance that under this guy's elegant appearance, there is a heart that is very fond of her, hehe.

She was attracted by the preference people showed towards her, and her appearance was secondary.

At that time, she made a few jokes, saying, "Mu Huaizhi, why are you so attractive? You are really a flower bud, exuding fragrance wherever you go." Mu Huaizhi held her hand and said, "I am wronged. I don't even know who she is. Besides, if I am not fragrant, I would have brought me home to you. You must take good care of me. I am yours, and you are not allowed to show me to others."

Yu Linlang was puzzled and asked him: When did I bring you home?

Mu Huaizhi said seriously: A long, long time ago, you looked at me like an orchid, carefully caring for me and planting me, afraid that I would break.

Yu Linlang was so happy that she hugged him and laughed so hard that she fell down.

She remembered, wasn't it just a wilted little flower? At that time, she was busy rescuing it, so she had to cherish it and cultivate it with great care.

The two of them were talking and laughing in the car, and they drove out of the city towards the Taihu embankment. There were few other people seen along the way.

The driver explained to them: The west gate of Pingjiang Prefecture does not allow people to enter, but only allows people to leave. Nowadays, many people coming from Jiazhou cannot turn into Pingjiang Port, so they can only go straight to Taihu Port to dock.

Some disaster victims built straw huts to live in by the Taihu Lake. After all, they can make a living by fishing near the lake, and water is not a problem.

Although the livelihood issue has been temporarily resolved, the safety issue must be raised.

There are so many people coming and going near Lake Tai that it's not safe enough. Thefts and robberies happen frequently. Not long ago, several young girls were kidnapped by flower thieves and were never found again.

The villages near Lake Tai also suffered. Last time, there was a small fishing village with only a hundred households. Someone broke into the village in the dark and killed everyone. It was horrifying to hear about it.

In this area, half is under the jurisdiction of Pingjiang Prefecture, and the other half belongs to Xi County area of ​​Changzhou Prefecture.

You asked whether the two governments would take care of it. Of course they do. But now that floods are everywhere, they can’t even take care of things in the city, and the area around Lake Tai has become a no-man’s land.

"The Taihu embankment collapsed not long ago. Now, although there are many disaster victims living nearby, if it rains heavily, the lake will overflow again, and they may have to relocate."

The coachman was quite talkative and reported to them a lot of things happening near Lake Tai along the way.

Speaking of the Taihu Island explosion, the driver looked a little secretive, puffing on his pipe and smacking his lips, "Hey, someone from the county came, a high-ranking official, and they didn't allow us to go out and talk about it. The city has long issued a gag order, and many people don't even know that the sound of the earthquake that night was actually from Taihu Island."

"No one dares to ask and no one dares to say." The old man sighed again, revealing a look of concern for the country and the people.

Don't mention it, the driver was worried about the weather change, and God really made it rain for him...

A drizzle began to fall, and people living near the Taihu Dam saw two ox carts rushing towards them.

The driver jumped off the carriage wearing a straw raincoat, opened the curtain and said, "Sir, we can only take you here. There is a big meeting going on ahead, and we can't pass without a badge."

Mu Zhao jumped out of the car, reached out to carry Yu Linlang down, and felt like he couldn't put his feet anywhere.

The embankment was muddy, and the little girl's brand new deerskin boots were covered in mud as soon as they touched the ground.

Yu Linlang reached out and patted him, then stepped on the mud with a "splash".

She didn't care at all and put her hands on her waist to take out the money.

Mu Feng hurriedly braved the wind and rain to pay the fellow villager, and gave him two more taels of silver, and said, "Go back quickly."

The old man's face was full of wrinkles from smiling.
