500: Chapter 500: Following the Right Person (4)_1 500: Chapter 500: Following the Right Person (4)_1 Yang Ruxin nodded, “I know him.” With a faint smile, she added, “Not just know, we even considered betrothal.” If it weren’t for him, she would not now possess the dagger and whip that were so handy.
Yet, at the ti, she had also taken an engraved black piece that she had never opened – could it also contain sothing important?
Not only was Qian Er surprised, but Zhou Xiao also raised her head in astonishnt.
Sister Ruxin was considered for marriage?
“It was my second aunt who wanted to exchange for silver,” Yang Ruxin explained with a shrug.
Both of them understood the implication without needing to ask about the consequences.
“Then…
we…” Qian Er blinked expectantly.
“Chengzi has already gone in; let him continue with the task.
You and Liang Zi shouldn’t go, it’s too dangerous,” Yang Ruxin shook her head.
“Let Chengzi introduce soone else to go inside.
In the event of trouble, they can also help Chengzi escape…”
Qian Er frowned slightly.
Was Sister Ruxin dismissing them as useless?
“I know you want to work for , but rember, you must act according to your capabilities.
Those people are desperadoes.
Your self-preserving skills are too weak.
I’ll find an expert to go…” Yang Ruxin explained, “That way, we can also ensure Chengzi’s safety at critical monts…
I hope all my people remain safe…”
“Understood.” Qian Er nodded respectfully, knowing he had not followed the wrong person.
Yang Ruxin finished the dumplings in her bowl, took out a copper coin and placed it on the table, then stood up to leave.
Just as she reached the doorway, she turned back to look at Qian Er: “Has Yang Baihe returned?”
Qian Er shook his head: “She left early in the morning and hasn’t co back since.”
Yang Ruxin nodded, surmising that the young girl might have followed the tenth Prince to Beijing.
But that was no longer her concern.
After confirming the ti of their next eting with Qian Er, she left the Tian Family hurriedly, heading back.
Although she had stated she needed to find soone else to approach Tian Geng, she felt uncertain because she had no one herself.
Thus, she must seek Gu Qingheng’s assistance, but it was unknown whether he would have soone available.
Surely, she couldn’t send Gu Yao, could she?
At this mont, Yang Baihe had not gone to Beijing because Qi Jingrong had not gone there; instead, he returned to the town and went directly to the Shen Family.
Following him, Yang Baihe reached the Shen residence.
Naturally, she couldn’t enter the Shen Family’s doors, yet the young lady had patience and sches.
She waited at the entrance – if she wasn’t allowed to see the tenth Prince, she wouldn’t leave.
She refused to believe that Qi Jingrong would stay inside the Shen Family forever.
Qi Jingrong was harboring feelings akin to wanting to kill soone.
“Your Highness, Prince Qi,” just as Qi Jingrong was considering how to dispose of Yang Baihe in secret, a soft voice ca from outside, “I have made so ginseng soup…” It was the voice of Shen Wanyin’s eldest daughter, Shen Yizhen.
Qi Jingrong’s eyes narrowed slightly, but he quickly resud his usual innocent and harmless expression, then personally went to open the door: “Zhenzhen, please co in.”
Shen Yizhen’s heart skipped a beat wildly; he had called her Zhenzhen.
Her cheeks instantly flushed to the roots of her neck.
Even though her mother incessantly advised her to captivate Prince Jingyi Qi, given that he was of the Crown Prince’s lineage, the Crown Prince being the legitimate successor, she couldn’t help but fancy this Prince Qi.
From the first glance, she liked the slightly suggestive way he looked at her.
As for Prince Jingyi, despite being acceptable, she just felt he was no match for the tenth Prince.
“This is…
sothing I personally prepared…” Shen Yizhen handed over the ginseng soup, stealing a glance at Qi Jingrong.
“You…
try it…”
