Chapter 131: Seeing Jiankang's Scenery and Her Family

At the same time, Wang Hong's curtain lifted which revealed his handsome face to the crowd.

Almost at that very moment, the female congregation grabbed for the things they were carrying with them: sachets, twigs, handkerchiefs, and all of a sudden, hundreds of things came flying at Wang Hong.

The guards stepped forward and raised their heads to the sky. Instantaneously, those twigs, handkerchiefs, and sachets poured down on them like rain... They remained orderly whether they got hit in the back or the front. Their faces looked very calm, and it became apparent that they had experienced this many times before.

Chen Rong laughed again at this scene. She turned to Old Shang and raised her voice: "Let's go."

"Aye." Old Shang replied and urged their horses ahead.

At this time, a guard next to Wang Hong's carriage rode over. He handed her a sachet and said, "Ah Rong of the Chen House, this is a gift from my master."

This sachet was very familiar. Ah yes, he had sent the same one to her last time. Chen Rong slowly smiled looking at it. "It's not necessary," she rasped.

The guard was also softly chuckling. "Good miss, it's best to accept what my master sends... Please consider before making your decision."

Chen Rong knitted her brow. A moment later, she reached out and accepted the sachet into her sleeve.

Satisfied, the guard took his leave. Soon, he came next to Wang Hong's carriage and whispered, "She accepted it."

"Did she?" Wang Hong sounded pleased. "You may go."

"Aye."

After Chen Rong's people made inquiry, they found that Chen Gongrang and the others would not arrive for another month.

Without Chen Gongrang, Chen Rong would have to find a place to stay. After some deliberation, her carriages drove to the Chen House of Jiankang, which had originally been the Chen House of Yingchuan.

The Chens were a century-old aristocratic family and remained one the wealthiest even during this time. And all this glory had begun with the Chens in Yingchuan.

Nurse Ping looked slightly intimidated when the carriages arrived at their gates. She looked at the estate's facade and then blurted to her mistress, "Miss, would it be prudent to pay a visit without Chen Gongrang here?"

Chen Rong looked down. A while later, she softly said, "Go to Luo Lane."

"Luo Lane?" Nurse Ping looked at Chen Rong in surprise. "Why there?"

"Qilang said my father and brother live there." Qilang didn't tell her this. It was something she had always known as someone who lived twice...

She didn't want to join the Chens of Yingchuan but she didn't want to go to Luo Lane either. She just wanted to stay at an inn. However, if she really stayed at an inn, people would certainly say she was being imprudent when she clearly had a home but did not seek refuge... They didn't have to accept her, but if she didn't go to begin with, it would be difficult to avoid criticism in this home-before-country era.

"Miss, you mean you know the master's whereabouts?" Nurse Ping happily cried. "Aiya, that is such good news. Why didn't you tell us sooner?" She poked her head out and cried to the people outside, "Hurry to Luo Lane. Our young lady says the master and young master are there."

Cheers erupted. The servants and Old Shang all at once burst into laughter. Their laughter was particularly loud. At this moment, their distress and anxiety since moving south, as well as their fear and caution seemed to have vanished.
