The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"We encountered a thick fog in the mountains. The fog was very strange. The young lady and I got separated in the fog. When the fog cleared, we couldn't find the young lady anymore!"

Xiao Zhao started to cry. "The coachman and I have been looking for the young lady there for most of the day. In the end, there was nothing we could do, so we thought of rushing into the city to seek help. Just now, we were in a hurry to go to the Shen Mansion, so we bumped into the prince's carriage. Prince, I'm glad to meet you. Please save my young lady."

After he finished saying this little trick, his body went limp and he fell down, actually fainting.

Qinglin walked over quickly to check and said, "Your Highness, she must have fainted due to exhaustion and hunger."

The driver next to him said quickly, "We haven't eaten anything all day and all night."

"Your young lady is missing, but you are going to the Shen Mansion instead of reporting to the police?" Prince Jin frowned, "What way?"

"Replying to King Jin, because my young lady and Miss Shen are good friends, we are afraid that the officials will not recognize us and will not be too concerned about helping to find the young lady, so..."

That's why I wanted to find Miss Shen first. With Miss Shen's help, maybe it won't be a problem to transfer more officials.

If Xiao Zhao had not seen Prince Jin and his guards before when he was with the young lady, they might not have recognized who this important person was.

Now that we have Prince Jin, that should be better than looking for Miss Shen, right?

"Qingfeng, get the people in the car and take them to find Chen Deshen. Let Chen Deshen take people into the mountains to look for them." Prince Jin lowered the car curtain.

"Yes."

The carriage did not turn around and continued along the same route.

Outside, the people were whispering, "That Miss Qiu and the King of Jin are actually fellow apprentices?"

"General Qiu has been guarding Xichi for many years. He is a great hero in my heart. I heard that Miss Qiu is also as capable as any man. She and Prince Jin..."

The rest of the conversation could not be heard because the carriage sped up.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Prince Jin, "Aren't you going with her? She's your junior sister."

"What sister?" Prince Jin sneered. "Back then, I stayed in the Qiu family's military camp for a while. Father was too worried that the soldiers would not be careful during training and hurt me, so he asked General Qiu to train me personally."

"At that time, Qiu Yunzhen was still a little snotty boy, always dressed like a little boy, running around in the army. The child was ignorant and called me brother when he saw me. I thought this way of addressing her was annoying, so I stopped her from calling me brother. But Qiu Yunzhen was indeed younger than me, so the deputy general beside General Qiu asked her to call me senior brother, saying that it was just a temporary title during the time in the army, and it would no longer count once she left the barracks."

King Jin spread his hands and said, "Who knew Qiu Yunzhen still remembered this?"

"You took General Qiu as your master?"

"He gave me a few pointers, but we didn't formally become his disciple. Later, my master turned out to be a petty and mean person," King Jin said, glancing at Lu Zhaoling. "Speaking of which, his personality is somewhat similar to yours."

"Huh." Lu Zhaoling almost rolled his eyes.

"Anyway, that old man wouldn't allow General Qiu to call himself my master."

"Your master is quite powerful? Even General Qiu doesn't dare to surpass him."

"Well, that old man is quite powerful, but since you grew up in the countryside, you definitely haven't heard of him."

What's the matter? Growing up in the countryside, there's no way you can get over this, right?

"You still look down on country folk?"

"If you really despise me, how could you have obtained the imperial decree granting marriage?" Prince Jin looked at her with eyes that showed concern for a fool.

He's just stating the truth, not being sarcastic, okay.

After bickering in the carriage, they soon arrived at Lu's residence.

Lu Zhaoling got off the carriage, and the King of Jin leaned forward and said to her, "Go back and wash yourself. You are very dirty today."

"Your Majesty?"

Lu Ming just happened to come out and saw Lu Zhaoling for the first time. He was about to frown and scold her, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of Prince Jin leaning out of the carriage. He was startled and the words of scolding were on the tip of his lips, but he abruptly swallowed them back.

But King Jin had just seen his expression, and his face was even darker than his.

"Hey, Master Lu, did you want to scold Lu Er just now? What did you want to scold? Running outside all day long, not acting like a lady from a noble family?"

Lu Ming bent down and couldn't help but complain in his heart: King Jin, don't you understand it very well?

But what he said was, "No, no, no, Your Highness, you are joking. I just saw Zhao Ling come back and wanted to ask where she went. I am actually a kind father..."

"puff!"

Prince Jin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I didn't know that, but Lord Lu is quite funny."

Lu Ming bent even lower.

Who is funny? Who is funny? He lost his fatherly airs in front of Lu Zhaoling. Who is funny?

Very angry.

"However, it's a good thing that Lord Lu didn't scold you, because it also saved me from scolding you. Do you still remember what I said before?"

Lu Ming didn't even dare to fart.

"Okay, I'm going back. You can play with me next time." King Jin waved to Lu Zhaoling.

Only after the carriage turned around and drove away did Lu Ming slowly stand up.

He looked at Lu Zhaoling and chuckled, "You are quite capable. In such a short time, you have managed to make King Jin look at you differently."

Lu Zhaoling looked him up and down. "Lord Lu is a little unlucky today. There is also some bad luck on your hands. Did you touch a dead rat?"

After saying that, she took two steps back and put some distance between herself and him.

Lu Ming's expression froze, and he was a little confused for a moment.

How did Lu Zhaoling know? !

He and his wife dug a pit for a long time today, but they didn't find anything. Instead, they dug up a few dead rats. He didn't know which servant killed them and buried them. When he grabbed them with his hand, the touch...

vomit.

Lu Ming retched.

Qingyin had already gotten off her carriage, and Lu Zhaoling took her to Tingnuan Tower, not bothering to pay attention to Lu Ming.

Lu Ming stared at her back, resentment gradually accumulating in his eyes.

What a nasty damn girl.

He still had to go out and buy some more suitable tools to dig the hole, so he ignored her for now!

"Miss, Lord Lu has ill intentions towards you." Qingyin said to Lu Zhaoling. She just turned around and saw Lu Ming's eyes.

She really didn't understand Lu Ming's mind. Having a daughter like the young lady who was beautiful, intelligent and capable, it would be fine if he didn't love her to the core, but how could he be so malicious?

Even if he doesn't like the young lady's mother, she is still his daughter.

Seeing Lu Ming like this, Qingyin felt sorry for the young lady.

"Don't worry about him, just go back and take a shower."

Qingbao was very happy to see Lu Zhaoling coming back. She was very bored when the young lady was away.

After taking a bath, Lu Zhaoling leaned on the couch and drank tea. Qingyin took the box given by Sun Ping and opened it.

"Miss, Mr. Sun gave you six thousand taels, and put a handful of gold melon seeds under the silver note." Qingyin was a little surprised.

This was given by Sun Ping himself, and she didn't expect to give so much.

Lu Zhaoling took the box and casually grabbed a dozen golden melon seeds for her and Qingbao.

"Play with it."
