Chapter 418 - 418 So he's depending on you now?

418 So he’s depending on you now?
Shi Qingluo watched Zhuo Zheng leave with a playful smile.
She didn’t expect Zhuo Zheng to follow her back to Heyang county.
Nevertheless, she would deal with whatever that came in her way, and she wanted to see what was his motive.
Since he said that he was rich and could work, then she would take that into consideration.!!
Zhuo Zheng’s appearance didn’t affect Shi Qingluo’s good mood.
She brought Qingqing to try many of Northern City’s specialties.
When they returned to the deputy governor’s office, Xi Rong had also returned.
Shi Qingluo looked at Xi Rong and asked with a smile, “Is that person following you back to Heyang County?”
Xi Rong leaned back lazily in her chair and played with her hair. “He is!
“He said that he would repay my kindness with himself, so he wanted to stay by my side.”
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow. “So he’s depending on you now? ”
“Have you investigated his family?” she asked.
Xi Rong nodded. “Yes, I’ve checked.
“His family is considered a powerful one in Northern City.
“His father is in charge of the house now, but he’s the child of the first wife. After having a stepmother, he also has a stepfather, who didn’t treat him well.
“His stepmother often finds fault with him and ruins his reputation. ”
“The teachers they hired for him are all pedantic and incompetent. He studied hard in secret and passed the elementary scholar exam this year.
“When he went to take the imperial examinations, he was schemed by his trusted manservant, so he was carried out before the examination was over.
“Not long ago, his stepmother plotted against him.
“His father wants him to go back to his hometown to live.
“Then, he was almost killed by a carriage on the road. I saved him.
“I found out that the carriage was not an accident. It was arranged by her stepmother’s brothers.”
She shrugged her shoulders. “And then he came to me.”
Shi Qingluo didn’t seem to have any problems with his family background.
It seems reasonable for him to follow Xi Rong.
“Did you find out if there’s anyone instigating him?” she asked.
Xi Rong shook her head. “No, that day really looked like a coincidence. But I don’t really believe that it’s a coincidence.”
She was used to the struggles in the palace, and there were many hidden secrets, so she unconsciously doubted it.
Especially since this was King Jin’s territory.
Shi Qingluo understood. If she were her, she would be suspicious too.
“So, you’ve decided to bring him to Heyang County?”
She could feel that Xi Rong had taken a liking to that man.
Even if she didn’t like him, she was still interested.
Xi Rong nodded. “That’s right. If he wants to hang around, then let him be.
“If he was sent by someone else, he will reveal his true colors one day. I will deal with him then.
“If what happened that day was really a coincidence, and he didn’t have any ulterior motives for staying by my side, then we’ll see.”
“That’s fine.” Shi Qingluo nodded.
“Zhuo Jun’s brother will be on the road tomorrow,” she added.
Xi Rong raised her eyebrows. “Why is he clinging to you?”
Shi Qingluo told her about what had happened at the door. “I’m also prepared to see what he’s up to.”
Xi Rong smiled. “That’s right, let’s have some fun with them. It’s boring anyway.”
Shi Qingluo smiled knowingly. “Indeed.”
The next morning, Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong packed their bags and were about to leave the deputy governor’s office.
Xiao Yuanshi had gone to town and wasn’t here.
He was also avoiding Shi Qingluo on purpose because he was really afraid of his bad daughter-in-law.
The old Xiao’s family had all come to send her off.
“Qingluo, the next time you come to Northern City, remember to visit us at the deputy governor’s office.” Old Lady Xiao said with a reluctant look.
With Shi Qingluo’s presence, she felt particularly confident and at ease in the deputy governor’s office.
She could tell that even that b * stard, Second Son Xiao, was afraid of Shi Qingluo.
“Of course,” Shi Qingluo said with a smile. “I’ll definitely come and visit you guys the next time I come to Northern City.”
Eldest Grandson Xiao’s injuries were much better. “Sister-in-law, I still have to recuperate in Northern City, so I won’t be going back. Please help me tell my cousin.”
Now that Heyang County was under Xiao Hanzheng’s control, he would be looking for a beating if he went back.
Therefore, if he could avoid going back, he would try his best to.
When the time came, he would ask his second uncle to arrange a new position for him in Northern City.
Shi Qingluo nodded. “Sure, I’ll help you pass the message.”
Eldest Grandson Xiao’s social skills were alright, but his management skills were too poor.
If he were to be transferred, his position as the county magistrate could be given to Fei Yuzhe.
The old Xiao’s men sent Shi Qingluo and the others to the door.
Then, they saw a teenage boy and a young man standing in two corners.
Zhuo Zheng was carrying his bag. When he saw Shi Qingluo, he jogged over excitedly. “Sister!”
Yue Lu walked over elegantly and looked at Xi Rong with a smile. “Rongrong, I’m here.”
When Shi Qingluo heard Yue Lu call her that, she turned to Xi Rong and raised an eyebrow.
It’s only been a few days, and Rongrong was already how he addressed her?
She sized up Yue Lu again. He had a handsome face and a gentle temperament, but he did not give off the feeling of a weak scholar.
Shi Qingluo believed that his heart was probably filled with black sesame as well. He was not a puppy, but more like a wolf.
Xi Rong had successfully summoned a wolf to her side.
However, a relationship was a matter between two people.
As long as Yue Lu did not show any problems and did not hurt Xi Rong, she would not say anything or interfere.
Most of the time, only the wearer knows where the shoes pinches.
It was fine as long as Xi Rong felt that it was okay.
When Xi Rong saw the look Shi Qingluo was giving her, she shrugged helplessly.
“This is Shi Qingluo, my good friend.”
“This is Yue Lu, my follower from now on.”
Xi Rong introduced the two of them to each other.
Yue Lu smiled courteously at Shi Qingluo. “Good day, Mdm shi!”
Shi Qingluo nodded at him. “Good day, Young Master Yue!”
Then, she introduced Zhuo Zheng to the two of them.
Soon, King Jin’s manor got someone to send Taoist master Chang Qing to the door of the deputy governor’s mansion.
It was about time, so the group set off to leave Northern City.
Shi Qingluo and Xi Rong were in the same carriage.
As it was improper for men and women to be intimate with each other, they did not let Yue Lu and Zhuo Zheng be their carriage.
So the two of them went to the carriage behind.
Taoist master Chang Qing’s carriage had already been prepared by King Jin’s mansion.
This time, they didn’t drag out their journey as much as they did when they first arrived.
It only took them eight days to return to Heyang County.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the county office.
Xiao Hanzheng immediately went out when he heard someone report it.
He ran towards Shi Qingluo, who had just jumped off the carriage.
The two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time and missed each other very much.
Their eyes looked at each other with a bit of affection.
If it wasn’t for the inappropriate occasion, Shi Qingluo would have already pounded into her little husband’s arms and acted like a spoiled child.
“Hubby, I’m back,” she said to Xiao Hanzheng with a sneer.
Xiao Hanzheng walked up to her and raised his hand to stroke the hair on her forehead. “It’s good that you’re back!
“Wifey, you must be tired from the journey. Go home and rest first.”
“Sister, who is he?” Suddenly, Zhuo Zheng’s voice came from behind the two.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the teenager behind his wife and found that he was somewhat hostile to him.
“He is?” He asked Shi Qingluo.
Shi Qingluo replied, “His name is Zhuo Zheng. I’ve helped him before. After that, he ran away from his marriage in Northern City and followed me to Heyang County.
“This is my husband, Xiao Hanzheng.” She then turned to Zhuo Zheng.
Of course, Zhuo Zheng knew that this was Xiao Hanzheng.
After all, Shi Qingluo had just called him husband.
He didn’t like Xiao Hanzheng, but he smiled. “So it’s Brother Xiao.”
