"Nian Ruipeng, it's good that you have such a heart, but you really want to think about it." Zhou Yan said, "The glory of the Nian family has passed. You are no longer the pampered young master of the Nian family. Life in the military is

It’s very painful, can you really bear it?”

Nian Ruipeng had already thought deeply about the idea of ​​joining the army. He nodded with a firm look in his eyes: "I can bear it!"

"Okay, since you have said so, I will help you." Zhou Yan called Zhang Ping, "After Nian Ruipeng is released from prison, ask him to follow us to the capital and insert him into the army.

go."

"yes."

Nian Ruipeng's reputation in Yuzhou City had already been ruined by the revelation of the Immortal Ointment. If he were placed in Yuzhou City, he would probably be beaten to death by a group of soldiers who had long-standing grudges in the army as soon as Zhou Yan left.

Nian Ruipeng understood his painstaking efforts and kowtowed heavily on the ground three times.

His movements were a bit big, and blood even oozed from his forehead.

However, before Zhou Yan could raise his hand to make him stand up, Nian Ruipeng seemed to have remembered something again. He hesitated and did not dare to raise his head. He said in a very low voice: "Your Highness, I have one more thing."

Zhou Yan nodded: "But it doesn't matter."

"I... redeemed Xiao Hongxiu's life at Chunfeng Tower. Now that the family is under investigation and Chunfeng Tower has collapsed, Xiao Hongxiu..." Nian Ruipeng hesitated.

Just at this moment, intermittent female voices came.

Zhao Jie seemed to hate the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel: "You are so poor yourself. How many big shots have I seen in Chunfeng Tower? Do you really think she can still remember you?"

Nian Ruipeng's voice was like a mosquito: "Even if she can't remember me, I won't blame her. The Nian family has committed so many crimes. I'm just afraid she won't have anywhere to go..."

Before he finished speaking, the female voice came in again. Zhou Yan pinched his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Ping: "Go and see who is causing trouble."

Zhang Ping took the order and came in again not long after. He glanced at Nian Ruipeng and reported truthfully: "It's the Hongxiu girl from Chunfeng Tower. She wants to meet Mr. Nian."

Zhao Jie wanted to say that Xiao Hongxiu could not lack someone who would fall in love with him, but Zhang Ping's words forced him to hold back.

Seeing how hard he endured, Lin Xing smiled and said, "Even if Mr. Nian has nothing, he still has a beautiful woman to care about him, unlike some people."

To put it bluntly, Zhao Jie is only one year younger than her, but he still seems to have not found love, and he has not even seen a girl pursuing him.

Zhao Jie heard what she meant and said angrily: "I have a high vision, and rouge and vulgar powder cannot enter my eyes."

"Rouge fans also have sincerity." Lin Xing retorted to him, "If I arrange a marriage for you now, not asking for happiness, but asking for a good match, would you be willing?"

Zhao Jie couldn't talk to her, but he seemed to think it made some sense, so he just turned his head away and said nothing.

Zhou Yan said: "Let her come in."

After receiving Zhou Yan's permission, Nian Ruipeng felt relieved. He looked at the body of Mrs. Nian opposite, a little worried, and his eyes slowly fell on Lin Xing.

Lin Xing understood what he meant and sent the jailer to collect the body for Mrs. Nian.

Xiao Hongxiu's time was coming, so Zhou Yan and Lin Xing found an excuse to leave, leaving enough time for Xiao Hongxiu and Nian Ruipeng. They also left an order that no one was allowed to stop Xiao Hongxiu from visiting them in the future.

In the cell, Xiao Hongxiu looked at Nian Ruipeng's wounds and wiped away tears in distress. All the fine clothes and jewelry on her body were gone, leaving only a pair of coarse clothes and a simple box. There was also a trace of pain on her face.

The dust on the bottom of the pot was smeared, and the brightness of the past was no longer there, and she looked like just a rough woman.

She held Nian Ruipeng's face and said distressedly: "I have saved some money in Chunfeng Tower over the years, and I have sold my clothes and jewelry and other items in the past. Calculating the silver, it is not a small capital. We still have a lot of money."

I can open a business and make a comeback.”

Nian Ruipeng shook his head: "You are still beautiful. If you follow me as the son of a criminal, you will just suffer the consequences. Why do you need to follow me and wander around? You can just keep the money yourself, and it will be a layer of security for your future life."

"

Xiao Hongxiu pursed her lips, suddenly sullen, she stood up, frowned and asked: "Who do you think I, Ruan Hongxiu, am? I have been yours since the day you ransomed me and brought me back from Chunfeng Tower.

I'm dead, you spent ten thousand taels to bring me back from Chunfeng Tower, is it just to let me go?"

"Yes." Nian Ruipeng affirmed, "If I were still the young master of the Nian family, and you would follow me, I would never let you suffer any injustice in this life. Now that the Nian family is in decline, how can I leave my beloved to me?

The girl is left to suffer beside you?”

Ruan Hongxiu's lips trembled: "Have you ever asked me if I am willing?"

"Whether you want it or not, it's all a matter of the moment. You haven't experienced it yet, how do you know you can endure it? You are the owner of a golden branch, and even if you can endure it, I can't stand it." General Nian Ruipeng

He turned sideways and pretended to be cruel, "After I am released from prison, I will follow the prince to the capital. By then, you will be in Yuzhou City and I will be in the capital. We are far apart, so just forget about me."

Ruan Hongxiu looked at his back. How had she ever been turned away by anyone in her life?

She had just met Zhou Yan, Lin Xing and others, but he had not yet met her, discussed it with her, and made such a hasty decision?

Does he regard himself as a deep-rooted and beloved person, or is he just a casual fling?

She gritted her teeth, turned around and left.

But she regretted it as soon as she got out of the prison door. When she turned around and wanted to go back in, it was too late. She tightened her handkerchief and thought of Lin Xing, whom she had just passed by when she entered the prison, and she made up her mind.

After asking the jailer, he probably went in the direction Lin Xing left.

When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Lin Xing and Zhou Yan were meeting in the main hall to discuss matters.

Ruan Hongxiu and the concierge reported truthfully and stuffed a piece of silver into it. The concierge was timid and hurriedly stepped back: "These are what young people should do. Please wait here for a while, I will report it right away."

"

Ruan Hongxiu's heartbeat was beating fast. When she was in Chunfeng Tower, she had roughly known that Zhao Jie and Nian Ruipeng were not going to deal with each other. Now, although Zhao Jie and Nian Ruipeng seemed to be peaceful during this period because of the fairy ointment, she still could not count them.

Can Lin Xing take her in?

Fortunately, in less than half a moment, the concierge had already brought her to Lin Xing.

Ruan Hongxiu had just entered the courtyard when she saw Lin Xing and Zhou Yan standing side by side, as if they were discussing something. She was afraid that she would ruin their elegance, so she hurriedly knelt on the ground and before she could finish saying "See you, the Crown Prince",

Tears had already fallen, and she wiped her face with sobs, which made Lin Xing feel sad.
