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

Zhu Jun was so anxious at this time that he didn't care about his own safety. "I'm afraid Tao Lan can't hold on and won't be able to wait for the people from the Dali Temple. I'll go down and take a look at the situation first."

After saying that, he climbed down the cliff despite Bai Fei's dissuasion.

I didn't know how long I had been crawling down in the darkness before I heard Tao Lan's weak cry for help.

He quickened his pace and said loudly, "Tao Lan, I'm coming down to save you, don't be afraid."

Tao Lan almost cried with joy when she heard Zhu Jun's words: "I'm here."

Soon, Zhu Jun climbed to the place where Tao Lan fell, and saw a towering tree growing in the middle of the cliff.

He caught Tao Lan who fell off the cliff and saved her life.

Zhu Jun held Tao Lan and carefully examined her body. Seeing that she only had a few scratches, he felt relieved: "I told you not to run around, but you ran to the suburbs to look for someone."

"I was looking for someone in Beijing and I ran into He Shuzhen. She told me that my sister had been kidnapped by bandits and taken to the suburbs. That's why I came here."

Hearing this, Zhu Jun was furious: "The one who kidnapped your sister was He Shuzhen."

"What, how could that happen?"

Zhu Jun told He Shuzhen everything in detail.

He Shuzhen was so angry that she almost jumped up from the ground and went to find trouble with He Shuzhen: "This woman has such a vicious heart."

"Now is not the time to discuss He Shuzhen. We need to find a way to climb up quickly. I'm afraid this tree can't bear the weight of both of us."

Tao Lan did not continue the topic: "I fell off the cliff and broke my leg. I couldn't climb up."

"I'll carry you." Zhu Jun let Tao Lan lie on his shoulders. Tao Lan was not very heavy, so it was no pressure for him.

It was difficult to see clearly on the cliff at night, and Zhu Jun lost his grip and fell off the cliff with Tao Lan on his back.

He held Tao Lan on his back in his arms and slammed his body into the water.

……

Now on the cliff, Bai Fei, who had been waiting for a long time but could not find anyone, was very anxious: "I wonder if Zhu Jun has found Tao Lan."

Tao Ran replied with a serious expression: "The two of you have been under the cliff for so long, could something have happened?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Fei scolded, "Nothing will happen to them. They will come up safely."

Tao Ran realized that he had said the wrong thing and immediately changed his words: "Yes, the two of them will come up safely."

Tao Zheng was very worried: "It's been so long and he still hasn't come up. Maybe something unexpected really happened."

"Father." Bai Fei's heart was hanging again, and he said angrily: "You deliberately want to make me worry."

"I'm also worried about Tao Lan. If anything happens to them, we have to prepare for the worst."

Just as Bai Fei was about to retort, the people from the Dali Temple arrived, and Lord Li walked up to Tao Ran and said, "Lord Tao, who are we looking for here?"

"My daughter, Zhu Jun and Tao Lan fell off the cliff. Zhu Jun went down to look for her, but he hasn't come up yet. I don't know if something happened to them."

After hearing this, Lord Li arranged for the runners from the Dali Temple to come.

The bailiff fastened the rope he brought to a big tree on the cliff and climbed down nimbly.

Just when everyone was getting anxious, the bailiff climbed up from the bottom of the cliff.

Bai Fei and Tao Ran walked forward anxiously: "How is it, did you find anyone under the cliff?"

"There is no one under the cliff. You must have made a mistake."

"Impossible." Bai Fei said, "We just reached the edge of the cliff and heard Tao Lan's cry for help. Zhu Jun also went down. How could there be no one there?"

The yamen runner replied affirmatively: "I have also looked around and indeed did not see anyone. I guess they must have fallen into the river. There is a river below, so the two people should not be in danger."

"Falling into the river won't put your life in danger. What are you talking about?" Bai Fei disagreed with the bailiff's words.

The bailiff continued to explain: "Madam, you should be thankful that there is a river below, otherwise what you would see would be two corpses."

This made Bai Fei sober up. Tao Lan and Zhu Jun fell into the river, and there was still hope for them to survive: "How can we find them?"

Lord Li came over and said: "Arrange more yamen runners to search downstream along the river. I hope the two men can be washed ashore by the river."

What made Lord Li feel fortunate was that Zhu Jun could swim, otherwise the two of them would have really drowned in the river.

Bai Fei was so anxious that tears came out of his eyes: "Now, hurry up and go find someone."

Tao Ran glanced at the river under the moonlight, wondering where it would spread to: "The entire Dali Temple has less than 200 yamen runners in total. Isn't that too few people?"

Lord Li was silent for a while: "We can ask the prince for help. He has 20,000 soldiers under his command."

Tao Ran did not hesitate and immediately asked the servants in his mansion to go to the Prince's Mansion.

The Prince and He Shulan, who were playing chess, were anxious when they heard that Tao Lan and Zhu Jun fell off the cliff.

"What's the matter?"

The servant glanced at He Shulan. He didn't know the ins and outs of the matter, so he couldn't explain: "You need to ask Lord Tao and Madam for the specifics."

He Shulan knew that the matter was urgent, so she did not continue to ask. She turned around and said to the prince, "I'll go with you."

"The mountain road by the river is rugged and difficult to walk on. You won't be able to walk far if you go there, and you won't be able to help me much. You will only become a burden to me. You should stay at home and wait for news."

The prince said this bluntly just to make the anxious He Shulan sober up.

If she went with him, he would have to take care of her.

He Shulan knew that she was powerless, so she didn't try to show off her strength at this time: "I won't follow you to find someone. You must send someone back to tell me the news every day."

"Okay." He Shulan's request was not difficult, and the prince did not refuse.

He rode to the military camp, led 10,000 soldiers to the edge of the cliff, and said to Tao Ran and Lord Li who were waiting for him: "I have brought the people here."

Lord Li no longer hesitated and immediately began to make arrangements. The soldiers brought by the prince held torches and searched along the river bank.

……

Zhu Jun slowly opened his eyes, his whole body aching. Thinking of Tao Lan, he suddenly stood up from the ground.

He glanced around nervously and saw Tao Lan lying not far away. He endured the severe pain and stumbled over.

Realizing that Tao Lan was still breathing, he couldn't help but hug Tao Lan tightly in his arms and called Tao Lan's name softly.

Tao Lan opened her eyes. The two of them were surrounded by the morning mist. Looking at Zhu Jun who was close at hand, she said, "We both ascended to heaven together."

Zhu Jun was amused by Tao Lan: "We didn't ascend to heaven, we are still alive."

He took Tao Lan's hand and placed it on his cheek: "My body is hot."
