Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Chunxia was not afraid at all. She made a whimpering sound with her mouth stuffed with cloth.

He Shuzhen slapped Chunxia on the face and said, "Behave yourself. He Shuzhen is the princess of a county. I dare not do anything to her. And you are just a maid. You can do whatever you want to me."

Chunxia didn't dare to say anything, fearing that He Shuzhen would really take action. She also wanted to keep her life and serve the Princess Consort.

After tying Chunxia up, He Shuzhen quickly went back upstairs. Just as she reached the gate of the courtyard, she ran into soldiers who came to search.

Fortunately, she was quick, otherwise He Shulan and her servant would have been discovered by the group of soldiers and tied up by her.

"Have you searched here?" The prince, who had just finished searching the garden, came over.

The soldier replied: "We haven't finished searching yet."

The prince followed the soldiers into a remote and deserted courtyard.

The yard was overgrown with weeds and the room was covered with dust, as if no one had lived there for a long time.

The prince walked into the room and looked around.

……

He Shulan, who was trapped in the basement, was excited when she heard footsteps coming from above her head.

He Shuzhen hurriedly tied them up and took them to the basement. It must be the prince who led the soldiers to the He Mansion to find her.

Her mouth was stuffed so she couldn't make any sound and she struggled desperately.

The rope tied around her cut into her fair skin, and her white gauze dress was stained red with blood.

The prince, who was searching the room, did not hear He Shulan's cry for help and did not find anyone, so he led his soldiers away in a hurry.

He Shulan heard the footsteps from above, which were getting farther and farther away, and her body was shaking more and more violently.

The ropes tied around his body were getting tighter and tighter, with no signs of loosening.

She spat out the cloth in her mouth and shouted "Prince".

The prince, who had already left the yard, could not hear He Shulan's cry for help.

This made He Shulan extremely desperate, and she was really going to die at He Shuzhen's hands.

Chun Xia forcefully spit out the cloth gagged in her mouth: "Princess of the County, I just heard messy footsteps coming from above. Is the County Prince looking for us?"

"It should be, otherwise He Shuzhen wouldn't have tied us up in the basement in a panic."

Chunxia's face was full of regret and fear: "If we miss this opportunity, I don't know if the prince can still find us."

He Shulan knew clearly that the hope of being found by the prince was very slim. In order to appease Chunxia, ​​she had to say something against her will: "I believe the prince will find us soon."

With He Shulan by her side, Chunxia was not so scared anymore.

……

The soldiers turned He's house upside down but still couldn't find He Shulan.

The prince's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he panicked: "Search, keep searching until you find the princess."

The soldiers stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment. They had not only turned He's house upside down, but also searched every corner. There was no point in searching again.

Zhu Jun stepped forward to comfort the prince: "No news is good news, don't be too anxious."

The prince sobered up a little and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"If there is no news, it proves that the princess is still alive. The kidnappers must have something to ask for. During this period of time, we should not go out to look for her. Just wait in the mansion. The room fee will be sent to you soon."

The prince was not sure whether this would work, so he could only give it a try and follow Zhu Jun's advice.

Tao Lan was unhappy. She put her hands on her hips and angrily yelled at Zhu Jun, "What kind of idea is this? Can you wait for your sister to come back by just waiting at home?"

Zhu Jun explained: "You misunderstood. I wasn't waiting for He Shulan to come back home, but waiting for a letter from the kidnappers."

"This puts my sister in even greater danger. We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to go out and find someone."

Zhu Jun didn't know what to do after hearing this, so he could only patiently explain: "Looking like this is really useless. Not only can we not find the person, but we are also wasting time."

Tao Lan didn't want to hear this: "If you don't want to go look for your sister, I will lead people to look for her myself."

Zhu Jun had little contact with women and was tongue-tied, so he didn't know how to coax Tao Lan.

Following behind Tao Lan, he kept explaining: "I'm telling the truth, you have to believe me. I lead soldiers to search the streets every day, but I can't find anyone."

Tao Lan ignored him and kept her distance from Zhu Jun: "That's your idea, not mine. Just because you don't want to look for him doesn't mean I don't want to. I will never sit in the mansion and wait for death."

Zhu Jun scratched his head anxiously.

This scene was seen by Prince Ning who came over. He walked to the side of the prince and said: "Zhu Jun is a genius in solving cases, but why does he act like an idiot in front of a woman? People who don't know him really think he is so honest."

At that time, the prince was also deceived by Zhu Jun's silly appearance: "Maybe his brain is all about solving cases."

Prince Ning did not continue the topic: "After so many days of trouble, have you found He Shulan?"

"Not yet. Zhu Jun asked me to wait in the mansion. The kidnappers will send me a message."

In the past, Prince Ning would have definitely cursed Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun had worked with him to solve several cases and knew that Zhu Jun was a master at solving cases: "Since Zhu Jun said so, let's do as he says."

The prince did not respond. When he saw Zhu Jun being pushed away by Tao Lan, he curled his lips into a faint smile.

With his current condition, I don’t know when he will be able to catch up with his wife.

She reached out and grabbed Zhu Jun: "Don't continue explaining. Women don't like to hear the truth. Since Tao Lan wants to find someone, just follow her. Just treat it as shopping."

Zhu Jun thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a better way, so he did as the prince said and walked to Tao Lan: "Since you want to find the princess, I will go with you."

This made Tao Lan happy: "Time is running out, let's set off now."

The prince, who didn't find anyone, did not stay and left He's mansion.

He's father looked at the messy courtyard, but did not dare to get angry. He was worried about He Shulan and was angry about what the prince had done.

But he did not dare to blame the prince and ordered his servants to tidy up the courtyard.

He Shuzhen waited for the prince's back to disappear at the gate, then quietly walked out and took this opportunity to flatter the prince: "Father, the prince is going too far. He doesn't take the He family seriously at all. How could we kidnap my sister?"

"It's useless for us to explain. They will only believe it after they finish the search and don't find the Princess." He's father explained helplessly.

He Shuzhen wanted to know why the prince suddenly came to search the He Mansion, and asked tentatively: "I don't think the prince would come to search the He Mansion for no reason. Did they receive any news?"

"I don't know. I didn't know he was going to search He's house until the prince led the soldiers to He's house. He made me lose face like this."
