Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 49 Extraordinary Origin
Knowing that Cha Bingliang was most likely a eunuch, Chaolu was not so averse to him. She sat down in the chair stiffly, closed her eyes, and uttered two words through her teeth like a brave warrior sacrificing his life.

"bring it on."

Cha Bingliang laughed: "Don't be nervous, it will be fine soon."

Chaolu agreed verbally, but the nervousness on her face remained the same.

Cha Bingliang had no choice but to pick up a soft-bristled brush, dip it in a thin layer of powder, and gently apply it to her face.

Yan Ci Wan sat nearby and watched, noticing that Chao Lu's facial features changed little by little.

Originally, Chaolu had almond eyes and a round face, and dimples on her lips when she smiled, which was a very lovable and cute appearance. But after Cha Bingliang's transformation, she became a sturdy and silly young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

When she opened her eyes and saw herself clearly in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise.

"How did I become like this? So amazing!"

After saying that, she reached out and touched her cheek, wanting to see if the face was real or fake.

Cha Bingliang reminded: "Try not to touch your face, so as not to ruin your makeup."

Chaolu immediately put down her hand, not daring to touch anything else. Her eyes were still fixed on herself in the mirror, her heart full of curiosity, as if she could never see enough.

Cha Bingliang packed up all the makeup tools and led Yan Ciwan and Chaolu out of the west wing.

True Man Yuqing and Miaolian sent them to the back door. There was a carriage parked outside the door with two horses standing beside the carriage. Xiao Wang and Li Chengge each rode one horse, while Uncle Jiu sat on the shaft with a horsewhip on his waist.

Seeing Yan Ciwan and Chaolu coming out, Uncle Jiu immediately jumped out of the carriage, moved out a horse stool and placed it next to the carriage.

"Ladies, please get in the car."

Li Chengge glanced at Yan Ciwan and Chaolu, and lazily commented, "They are dressed well, and look very realistic."

Cha Bingliang smiled modestly: "My lord, you are too kind."

When Yan Ciwan stepped on the horse stool to get into the carriage, he glanced at Li Chengge inadvertently.

Originally, she thought that Li Chengge was just an ordinary young man from aristocratic family who went out for fun out of boredom, but an ordinary young man from aristocratic family would not have a eunuch with him.

These days, apart from the royal family, only princes and relatives of the royal family can employ eunuchs as attendants.

I guess this Li Chengge must have an extraordinary background.

Yan Ciwan slowly sat down with the help of Chaolu.

They waved goodbye to Jade Purity Master and Miao Lian outside through the car window.

Cha Bingliang and Uncle Jiu sat on either side of the shaft. Uncle Jiu threw the reins, and the carriage started slowly and drove steadily forward.

Xiao Wang and Li Chengge rode their horses, following the carriage not too close or too far away.

Even on horseback, Xiao Wang still sat upright, his whole body revealing the elegant demeanor of a noble man from an aristocratic family. In comparison, Li Chengge seemed much more casual. He seemed as if he could never wake up, with his eyes half open and a listless look.

But their looks were so outstanding that they attracted many eyes along the way.

Yan Ci Wan lifted a corner of the car window curtain and looked out quietly, just in time to see her wanted poster posted on the bulletin board on the street.

The portrait on the wanted poster was very rough, and only roughly showed a pretty young girl, but she looked very different from her in person. If you were not familiar with her, it would be difficult to tell that the person in the portrait was her.

At this time, many people gathered in front of the bulletin board, including a tall Hu man, who was Ulan Thirteen, and beside him was Ulan Twenty-Four.

In addition to the two of them, Yan Ciwan also found another familiar face in the crowd.

The man was wearing a navy blue cross-collared gown and a black fu hat. He looked to be about forty years old, with a very ordinary appearance, but his demeanor was gentle, elegant and very friendly.

Yan Ciwan had met this man once before when he was in Xizhou. His name was He Chunzhuo, and he was a jewellery dealer.

Yan Ciwan was only nine years old at that time. She went out to attend a banquet with her mother Ning Qingyang. It was a birthday banquet hosted by the wife of the governor of Xizhou. All the guests invited were from prominent families and their spouses. However, it was very unusual that He Chunzhu, a mere businessman, was invited to attend.

What was even more unusual was that the moment Ning Qingyang saw He Chunzhuo, all the color on his face instantly drained away.

He looked as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

Before the birthday banquet was over, Ning Qingyang took his daughter and left the governor's mansion early and hurried back to the palace.

After that, Ning Qingyang fell seriously ill and his health condition took a turn for the worse.

He Chunzhuo also sent people to deliver gifts to express condolences.

But strangely, when Ning Qingyang saw those valuable gifts worth thousands of gold, he actually vomited blood on the spot.

This incident made the King of Xizhou furious. He ordered all the gifts to be thrown away. Still not satisfied, he ordered people to capture He Chunzhuo to find out who this person was and why he could cause Ning Qingyang's old illness to relapse.
As a result, the people sent out got nothing.

The jeweler named He Chunzhuo had long disappeared.

This incident became a knot in Yan Ciwan's heart.

My mother obviously knew He Chunzhuo, but she kept silent about it.

After six years, she didn't expect that she would see He Chunzhuo again in Xiangzhou City.

He looked no different from six years ago, except that his clothes and appearance had become much more low-key.

At this moment, he did not look like a wealthy jeweler at all, but more like an ordinary scholar from a modest family.

He Chunzhuo stared at the portrait of the woman on the wanted poster for a long time, then turned and left, just passing by the two Hu people.

Yan Ciwan shifted her gaze and saw two constables walking out of a street shop with wanted warrants in their hands. They must be looking for her.

Xiao Wang and Li Chengge's presence was so strong that the two constables noticed them.

Yan Ciwan immediately lowered the car curtain and made a gesture to Chaolu to keep quiet.

The two constables knew that Xiao Wang was from the Xiao family in Dongdu. They could not afford to offend a young master from a noble family like him, so the two constables temporarily put aside their official duties, walked forward with a flattering smile, and bowed to him.

Xiao Wang sat upright on the horse and nodded slightly in response.

The carriage kept moving, and the wheels slowly rolled over the road, making a slight creaking sound.

On its left side stood two constables holding wanted warrants, while on its right side, two Hu people were whispering about how to find the person next.

The carriage passed among them without arousing anyone's suspicion.

Inside the carriage, Chaolu breathed a sigh of relief, pressed her hand against her chest and whispered, "I was so scared just now, I thought they were going to search the carriage."

The carriage is so small, if the constables insist on searching it, the two of them will definitely not be able to escape.

Yan Ciwan said nothing.

She was still thinking about He Chunzhuo.

He Chunzhuo had just stared at the wanted poster for a long time, and it seemed that he had recognized that the girl in the portrait was her.

Why did he appear in Xiangzhou City? Was he here for her too?
The constable thought she was a murderer, and that Wulan Shisan and Yan Tingyu were in cahoots with each other, so it was understandable that they all wanted to catch her.

But what is He Chunzhuo’s purpose?

What is his origin?
