Jiang Ruining turned her head angrily.

Meeting Xiao Che's "I'll see what else you dare to do" gaze, her momentum immediately weakened considerably.

"Now that you can walk freely, why don't you go back to your foolproof Regent's Palace? That way, you won't be so suspicious all the time that you think I'm trying to harm you! I'll go out now and distract them, and you can slip away quietly. Isn't that perfect?"

Xiao Che sat upright, and if it weren't for his pale face and lips, you wouldn't have been able to tell that he was injured.

He gave her a cold, sweeping glance: "Do you think I'm made of cloth, that I can be mended and fixed in a flash? Do you think those patrolmen are fools, that you can easily lure me away from the mountain? I have things to do, and you're not going anywhere until then!"

You're not allowed to go anywhere?

Ah!

Who cares about you!

Jiang Ruining put on a resigned look on her face and then sneaked away.

Before they could even take a few steps...

brush!

A pebble hit the door in front of her and became deeply embedded.

Jiang Ruining screamed in fright.

He gritted his teeth and took another step forward.

brush!

Boom!

Another pebble shot over, grazing her toes and embedding itself deeply into the stone slab!

Jiang Ruining gasped, obediently retreating back into the house, seething with anger!

Thinking about it makes me unhappy.

Open the window.

He yelled at the outside, "I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!"

The bodyguard who threw the stones: "..."

Still not convinced, Jiang Ruining mustered her courage and ran up to Xiao Che again, hands on her hips: "Your bodyguards are scaring me!"

Xiao Che didn't even lift his eyelids: "If you can't control your feet, you deserve to be taught a lesson!"

"I didn't!" Jiang Ruining denied it outright. "I was just taking a walk, I didn't intend to go out! My illness is cured, if I stayed indoors all day, that would arouse suspicion. I went for a walk in the courtyard, wasn't it all for you, Your Highness!"

Xiao Che raised his eyes, a half-smile on his face: "So, I should thank you?"

Jiang Ruining nodded earnestly and forcefully: "That's exactly right!"

Xiao Che seemed to agree.

The secret guards were summoned.

Then she had her bodyguard give her two pebbles.

"Throw him away, and you'll have a chance to get revenge."

Jiang Ruining looked at the pebble in her hand, speechless.

"..."

She wasn't actually hit, so how could she fight back?

Did she think she was some kind of unreasonable person?

in the afternoon.

The stewardess delivered a gold-embossed invitation.

It was sent by the Princess Anyang's residence, inviting her to attend a poetry gathering.

"The people from the Princess's residence said that when they sent out the official letter, they heard that you were ill and didn't send it. But the other day, someone from the Princess's side met someone from our residence and heard that you were much better, so they asked them to send it later."

Jiang Ruining was delighted and had someone give her a reward.

She went inside and handed the invitation to Xiao Che: "Look, look! It's not that I wanted to go out, it's that the Princess invited me to a banquet!"

Xiao Che glanced at the invitation and said indifferently, "You are not allowed to go."

"I want to go!" Jiang Ruining exclaimed, hands on her hips. "This invitation is for me! I'm so bored I'm going moldy!"

She was backlit.

Her slender waist, slender enough to be encircled by a single hand, gave her a fierce look, like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Xiao Che glanced at her waist and raised an eyebrow slightly: "It's normal for a good-for-nothing to get moldy."

Jiang Ruining was so angry she nearly fell backward.

I really want to yell at him!

But she was a coward and only dared to curse in her heart.

You bastard!

Drinking cold water will get stuck between your teeth!

Xiao Che glanced at her.

They practically write all their insults on their faces.

Let her go out; no one needs to pry her out, she's already "said" everything.

Jiang Ruining sidled up to him, tugging at his sleeve and pleading, "I want to go out! Let me out! I'm just going for a walk, I won't give you away! Please~ Master~ just let me out!"

Xiao Lang's voice was melodious and varied.

"Shut up!" Xiao Chengyan felt like a tiny insect was crawling on his heart, rubbing against its furry little paws as he softly scolded, "Look at the banquet time on the invitation!"

Jiang Ruining pouted: "I'm not stupid!"

The invitation stated that the banquet would be held three days later.

Unless it's an emergency, an invitation to visit will be sent a day in advance. But if it's a banquet, it's a planned event, and invitations will be sent at least half a month in advance so that the invitees have time to make time for it.

They would never send out invitations so hastily, right before the banquet is about to begin.

This is very impolite behavior.

The more prestigious one's status, the less likely they are to make such a mistake.

Even though the princess gave a reason, anyone with a modicum of intelligence could tell that it was just an excuse!

"Nobody wants to listen to a good-for-nothing compose poetry. Sending me was just a test."

Xiao Che raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise: "That idiot actually got a brain!"

Jiang Ruining gritted her teeth: "I must have done good deeds in my past life."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have encountered cold-blooded and heartless parents, and then met him!

I was listless for two days in a row and didn't even feel like eating.

On the third day, after changing Xiao Che's dressing, I took advantage of his afternoon nap.

Jiang Ruining ran off on tiptoe!

The pebbles that came chasing from behind swished and hit the walls, the flowers, the tree trunks, and the melons.

Nothing could sway her desire to go out for some fresh air!

The door opened!

slipped away!

Xiao Che stood before the tightly closed window, watching through the curtains as she lifted her skirt, shrank her neck, and ran haphazardly outside, screaming silently. His eyes were deep, and he didn't realize a slight smile played on his lips: "Keep an eye on the little coward!"

A few faint rustling sounds came from the roof, like mice crawling by, but soon silence returned.

I was discharged from the hospital without incident.

Jiang Ruining straightened her back, took a deep breath of the free air, turned around and raised her eyebrows at the yard: "Come and catch me if you dare!" (Laughing)

She smoothed her dress and quickly left!

Chu Jin came over to wait for her. From afar, she could see that her footsteps seemed to be walking on a gentle breeze. As she got closer, she saw that her expression was the same.

Like a sparrow finally flying out of its cage.

Although she seems to prefer lighter-colored clothes, it must be said that bright red and purple suit her better and accentuate her beauty. The ribbons behind her head fluttered high, flamboyant and passionate in the sunlight. Paired with her smiling and smelling the flowers, it was a breathtakingly beautiful picture!

She smiled and said, "Ningning is in a very good mood today."

Jiang Ruining tucked a pomegranate blossom she had picked into her hair: "I have such good taste! You suit a simple and elegant style, but without bright accents, you'll look rather bland. A girl about to graduate shouldn't end up looking like those old-fashioned ladies from the inner quarters!"

Chu Jin's maid, Hua Xi, frowned. A red flower mixed in with her elegant attire made her look incredibly vulgar.

As I reached out to pick it, I glanced at it and immediately decided not to: "It really does look beautiful! It brightens the girl's complexion by three points, and it doesn't look out of place at all."

Chu Jin raised her hand and touched the flower, her face slightly flushed. She thanked her and said, "After the poetry gathering, let's go pick out clothes and jewelry that Ningning likes. Let's head over there! Don't be late."

The two maids behind them were wary of each other, and sparks seemed to fly when they bumped into each other.

Hua Xi: "..." I don't believe bad people can suddenly turn good!

Yun Mi: "..." She's clearly living under someone else's roof, yet she allows her maid to hurt her young lady. What kind of good person is she!

The carriage was already waiting at the hanging flower gate.

They left the mansion.

Jiang Ruining lifted the carriage curtain and took a peek.

Based on years of experience watching police and gangster movies, I immediately noticed that there were several sharp eyes in the nearby shops, constantly glancing at the Jiang residence. When they saw the carriage coming out, their gazes seemed to want to split the carriage in two!

One can imagine how many people must be watching the side and back doors.

No wonder Xiao Che didn't leave. In his current condition, he can't climb over walls or scale rooftops. If he leaves her courtyard, he'll be immediately locked down!

halfway.

The carriage suddenly came to a standstill.

Just as I was about to ask what had happened, I heard the sound of a whip hitting the ground outside the car window, urging me on.

"Hurry up!"

"Stop dawdling! The authorities have sentenced you to exile; no one can save you now!"
