Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"Third Miss, Madam is asking you to hurry back. It seems to be an urgent matter." Zi Ying purposely said in a loud voice.

Guan Chen wiped her tears that were about to burst, and asked as usual. Do you know what it is? "

Zi Ying shook her head and continued, "Madam wants you to go back first and leave the blessing to Fourth Miss." Guan Chen gave her a thumbs up, hinting that her acting skills were not bad at this critical moment.

"Xiao Wen, then I'll head back to the mansion to take a look first." Guan Chen's voice was loud enough for people outside to hear.

At this time, Ruan Xiaonuan had already changed her clothes, put on her hat, and said calmly: "Hurry up and go back, if it's not an urgent matter, my foster mother would not have sent people here to find you."

"Okay, when you come back, you must take care of yourself." After Guan Chen said this, the tears that she had endured for a long time finally burst out.

Ruan Xiaonuan's feelings were about the same. She gave all of them a deep look before turning to leave with Zi Ying following behind her.

The shadow guard who was hiding in the darkness could only hear what she should hear, so when Ruan Xiaonuan came out, she did not suspect anything, thinking that it was Guan Chen, and continued to wait in the temple.

"Fourth Miss, your servant can only send you here. You must return as soon as possible." Just as Zi Ying was about to enter the city, she stopped the horse carriage and passed the package to Ruan Xiaonuan.

"Help me thank your young lady." After she finished speaking, she took the package Guan Chen gave her and walked down the main road alone.

Ruan Xiaonuan actually wanted to return to the palace in the Ling Yue Nation, because that was the first place she would see when she came to this world. Maybe the passage to two dimensions was there, or maybe she would have the chance to return there.

"It will be dark soon. I need to find an inn. Fortunately, I brought enough silver notes with me." Ruan Xiaonuan muttered to herself.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally found the only inn in the wilderness. Because of the remote location, there were less people in the inn. According to her experience, this kind of place was most likely a hack shop.

Ruan Xiaonuan unconsciously tightened her grip, and carefully walked forward and asked: "Are there anymore empty rooms?"

The shopkeeper and waiter, who were dozing off, immediately woke up when they saw a young woman. He enthusiastically said, "Yes, of course. Miss, please come with me. "

If they did not keep staring at her bag, Ruan Xiaonuan would have been fooled by their enthusiasm. She calmly said, "Thank you for leading the way."

"Miss, this is the best room in our inn, everything inside is new. If you are satisfied, I will prepare dinner for you." The waiter politely said.

"Little brother, I am a servant of a big family and have always been bullied by the Miss. This time, I even changed my identity and got married to a local thug. I secretly ran out of the house and I'm afraid I don't have the money to live in the best room." Ruan Xiaonuan forced out a few tears.

The waiter looked at her in shock, and his previous enthusiasm turned to disgust as he impatiently said, "Come with me."

"This is the worst room in our inn, give the silver to the shopkeeper first." After the waiter finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left.

Ruan Xiaonuan looked around the room in satisfaction. Although it was simple, it was fine as long as she could sleep. She was well aware of the principle of not revealing her wealth when she went out. From the looks of it, the waiter seemed to have no doubts about what she had said and would probably not pursue her any further.

When she went downstairs, the waiter was complaining to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, you aren't some rich young miss at all. You're just a servant girl. I don't even know if you can afford the worst rooms, and you definitely don't have much silver on you." Ruan Xiaonuan laughed but did not say anything, it seemed like her guess was right, this inn was a treasure shop.

"Maybe she's lying." The shopkeeper said craftily.

Ruan Xiaonuan squinted her eyes and timidly went downstairs. She counted the silver taels in her bag, and in the end, asked, "Innkeeper, this is all my silver, can you please do me a favor and accept less?" She held the silver tightly in her hand, unwilling to give it to him.

The shopkeeper looked at her impatiently and said fiercely, "If you don't have money, why stay in an inn? Just sleep outside." If you don't, then leave as soon as possible and don't hinder my business. "

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the silver with reluctance, and asked again in the end, "Is that really impossible?"

The shopkeeper snatched the silver from her hands and said in disdain, "Blocked here." Ruan Xiaonuan turned around and went upstairs as if she was about to cry. The shopkeeper was still swearing. "What bad luck. It's been so many days, and there's only one customer, and it's a poor one at that."

"Do you believe me, Manager?" The waiter asked curiously. Didn't they say that they were observing?

Ruan Xiaonuan purposely slowed her steps, waiting for his reply. Her hands are full of calluses, so it is obvious that she is used to rough work. The hands of young mistresses from rich families are so tender that they can pinch water out of it. " The shopkeeper's voice was very vulgar. Hearing this, her lips curled up into a smile. It seemed like she would be able to sleep in peace tonight.

In the capital, Guan Chen carried the few letters that Ruan Xiaonuan had left behind and returned to the Residence of General. Madam Guan only saw her coming back, and asked curiously, "Why is she alone? Warm? Could it be that we have returned to the Duke Palaces? "

"Mother, let's go in first." Guan Chen's palms were already sweating. Who knew that when they arrived inside, they would actually see Gu Junxiu and the Prime Minister Guan sitting there?

"Your Highness, Chen Er and the others have returned. Little Warm has probably thought it through and returned to the Duke's Mansion." Madam Guan still believed in her guess.

However, Gu Junxiu did not believe that with his personality, he would not take the initiative to return to the Duke Palaces. That was why after he left for the imperial court today, he rushed over to the Residence of Prime Minister without stopping to rest. He planned to explain everything about Liu Yingxue properly. However, he did not expect that it would all be for nothing. Only, he did not expect that Guan Chen would be the only one to return.

He coldly stared at her and asked. Where is she? " The excuse Guan Chen had prepared before was now impossible to say.

She really regretted it to death now. She really didn't know why she was confused at the time, why had she agreed to Ruan Xiaonuan's ridiculous request. She had thought that Gu Junxiu would discover it himself, but he didn't expect her luck to be so bad that she would bump into it.

"This King asks again, where is she?" 's voice became even colder. The Madam Guan saw that her daughter's expression was not right, and walked over to ask, "Chen Er, what happened?"
