Chapter 264 The Female Supporting Characters in the Republic of China 9
The riot in Yuncheng was quickly resolved in less than half a day.
Ji Lingruo took Jing Yunchuan's car back to the Jing Mansion. Along the way, she was looking at the scenery outside the window.
Counting the days, Tan Shengnan will be back soon.
She thought of the vivid Tan Shengnan in the original owner's memory, the Tan Shengnan who wanted to save the original owner from suffering.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of Jing Mansion, Ji Lingruo saw a little girl peeking in.
The little girl heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Ji Lingruo was fine, then turned and ran away. She seemed to be very afraid of the people following Ji Lingruo.
After returning to the room, Ji Lingruo felt a little tired today and wanted to rest early. She was changing clothes when the door was opened.
Ji Lingruo didn't like being served by servants, so they lived far away from where she lived and only brought her meals at lunch and dinner.
She looked up and met Jing Yunchuan's bewildered black eyes. She never expected to see such a scene.
Ji Lingruo pulled her clothes closer to cover the exposed fair skin.
"Sorry." Jing Yunchuan's earlobes turned red.
"What do you want from me?" she asked.
"Don't do such dangerous things next time." He was referring to the fact that she stole the car and killed those people.
He looked at her carefully again and was relieved when he confirmed that she was not injured.
"Feel sorry."
Before Ji Lingruo could react to why he was apologizing, she fell into a warm and broad embrace the next second.
"Let me hold you for a while."
He seemed to have the breath of ice and snow, yet he gave people a burning warmth.
Jing Yunchuan didn't dare to imagine what he would do if something happened to Ji Lingruo. He knew she would leave.
He knew that this hug was a little inappropriate, but he just wanted to hug her.
Make sure she's really okay, and make sure she's really still here.
If Ji Lingruo didn't push him away, she would just nodded lightly.
After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yunchuan finally let her go and said, "You should get some rest early."
After saying that, he fled from Ji Lingruo's house as if there was something terrifying chasing him from behind.
He was afraid of seeing her distant and indifferent eyes, and also afraid of seeing disgust in her eyes.
Ji Lingruo stared at the direction he left and chuckled softly.
What a dork.
pier.
Tan Shengnan finally returned to his familiar hometown and the familiar Yuncheng.
As soon as she came back, she went straight to Tan's house and found it in a mess and there was no trace of her parents.
The uncle of the Tan family who had seized Tan Shengnan's property was sent to prison by Ji Lingruo some time ago and was ordered to return the seized money and leave when the time comes.
This uncle is really black-hearted. He embezzled a lot of things left by Tan's father and mother to their daughter. In the original plot, not only did he occupy the Tan family's property, he also wanted to send Tan Shengnan to please the nobles and pave the way for himself.
Ji Lingruo did not indulge them. Instead, he beat them with a stick and sent the whole family to the police station.
After all, she is now the wife of the young marshal, so that group of people dare not neglect her.
At first, Tan Shengnan's uncle was very aggressive and was sure that Ji Lingruo would not dare to do anything to them. However, when they saw the people following her, they immediately became obedient.
"It's very simple. Just restore the house and return the things you spent, and you don't have to go to the police station and suffer." Although the words were sweet, they sounded like a bolt from the blue to them.
They have occupied the Tan family's house for a long time, and most of the things that Tan's father and mother left for Tan Shengnan have been spent. How can they get the money to pay back?
In the end, they were all sent to jail by Ji Lingruo. They had to spend a few days in jail and receive punishment before they had to think carefully about how to pay back the money.
Tan Shengnan looked at Tan Zhai blankly and called out "Mom and Dad" a few times. When he found no response, he felt a little surprised.
The person inside heard the noise and came out. He was an old man with white hair who looked like he had gone through a lot of hardships.
"Butler, why did you become like this?"
"Miss..." The housekeeper burst into tears, "After you went abroad to study, the master and the mistress were killed because they offended someone. I wanted to take care of the Tan family for you, but I was driven out by your uncle. I have been living on the streets, doing hard labor to make a living. A few days ago, Madam Ji came and drove away your uncle who occupied the house for you. She also took me back and told me to restore the house to the way it was when you were there."
Tan Shengnan froze. Her parents were dead? Then what about the letters she had been receiving while abroad?
Also, the letters kept saying that the girl next door was doing well and that she was helping to take care of her. But what about Lingruo? Is she okay?
"Ling Ruo...are you okay?"
"Miss Ji was arranged to have a ghost marriage by her parents...but her husband is not dead and has returned."
Tan Shengnan put down all the novelties she brought back from abroad. Her eyes turned red. She thought she could finally come back to see her parents after not seeing them for several years, but she didn't expect this result. She wanted to find that group of people and avenge her parents.
At the same time, she thought of Lingruo, her good friend, and wondered if she was doing well in Jing Mansion now?
The idea of ghost marriage sounds like a feudal dregs. No good family would allow a living person to marry a dead person. The ghost must have a very miserable life.
Even so, she still thought about herself and drove out the group of people who occupied Tan's house.
Tan Shengnan just felt a strong sour taste.
The winter plum blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom. Ji Lingruo was sitting there. A little maid came up and whispered something in her ear.
Tan Shengnan is back? Coincidentally, she also wants to see her.
As soon as she walked out of the Jing Mansion, Ji Lingruo saw a little head poking out, as if waiting for someone.
Seeing her come out, the little head hurried forward, holding a bunch of camellia flowers still covered with dew, and whispered: "For... for Madam... Thank you Madam for saving me."
After saying that, the little girl blushed and lowered her head a little uncomfortably.
Ji Lingruo took the camellia and touched the little girl's head.
"From the mountains?"
"Yeah." The little girl replied.
"Did you meet anyone?" Ji Lingruo squatted down and looked at the little girl gently.
The little girl was a little surprised. How did the lady know that?
Ji Lingruo looked at the red and swollen wound and several scratches on her knee, probably from falling while running. She then looked at the flowers in her hand. The branch of a camellia was a little flat, as if it had been stepped on.
This would definitely not be done by a little girl who loves flowers. Ji Lingruo had seen her pick up the flowers with heartache when she ran away.
The little girl lowered her head and thought of the few people she met when picking flowers on the mountain. She was very alert, and when she saw people coming, she ran away immediately, but the flowers in her hand fell while she was running.
After the danger was gone, she went back to pick up the flowers and ran to pick them again, picking out the best ones and leaving the ones that were not good to look at. However, she might have accidentally mixed up one of them in the process.
"I met a few bandits. I was very careful and they didn't find me." The little girl said timidly.
