In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 195 Already Relieved

Because it was too cold and snowing, Chen Ruotong felt too cold and did not go to the trial.

He just released Xiao Liuzi from the space and asked Feng Liangyu to take him directly to the Dali Temple to be dealt with according to the law.

Anyway, the ending is already decided, the process is not that important anymore, let’s just consider it as revenge for the original owner!

Chen Ruotong and Old Lady Chen were reading a letter from Pingyang Prefecture in a warm room.

The letter said that both sisters-in-law had given birth to babies, both boys.

Old Mrs. Chen squinted her eyes with joy and said, "Old lady, I also have great-grandchildren, two at that! In the spring of next year, we will go back together to see the two children. This is a great joyous event, another generation, four generations living together, hahahaha..."

"Yes, grandma, I wonder what the two little ones look like! Two little fat balls, they must be so cute! I really want to go back and take a look right now!"

"If you like children, just have them yourself. You'll be seventeen after the Chinese New Year, so it's time for you to find a husband! I think that boy Qiao is pretty good, and I can see that he cares about you very much. Have you ever been attracted to him? He's good-looking, has a good family background, and is well-educated. How is he not worthy of you?"

Chen Ruotong was shocked, "Grandma is nice to me because I saved him and I am his benefactor. I am wearing men's clothes now, and he thinks I am a man. We are brothers!"

"In the past, you could dress up as a man, thin and small, and no one would suspect you were a woman.

Now that you've grown taller and a little fatter, with a curvy figure, one can tell you're a girl if one pays careful attention.

Only a greenhorn like him can't tell, an experienced old woman can tell that you are a woman. Now that our family has status and money, you can go back to being a woman, and you won't be afraid of being bullied!"

"Grandma, what you said makes sense, but I still think men's clothes are more convenient and easier to do business with."

"But this will delay your marriage! How can a girl not get married when she grows up?"

"Oh, grandma, the charcoal in the brazier is almost burned out. I'll go add some more charcoal..."

Chen Ruotong put on her coat and ran out. When talking about marriage, she started to act like a rogue.

Old Mrs. Chen shook her head, sighed, and murmured to herself, "Alas! Two completely different children, one lost his life for love, and the other never talked about love at all..."

After Liang Zhilan was taken to prison, the Princess's Mansion was sealed off. The servants involved in the human trafficking case were imprisoned, and those who had nothing to do with the case were dismissed or sold.

Wu Qiming also rolled up his bedding and returned to Old Lady Wu.

Because of his meritorious reporting and the provision of many letters as evidence, he was not implicated and exiled, but was dismissed from office and became a commoner.

Wu Qiming knew this would be the result, but when it happened, he still couldn't handle it and looked depressed.

The career that he had worked so hard for was now ended in his own hands, and everything was back to square one.

He regretted his past cowardice, but what could he do? Nothing could happen again!

It is because of my cowardice and greed for official career and wealth that I have ended up like this. Being alive is already a great fortune, why do I need an official career?

On his way to Old Lady Wu's house, Wu Qiming passed by Huicui Tower. He stopped and stared at the tower in a daze.

He knew that the owner of Huicui Building was Chen Tong. The young boy he met at the Lantern Festival on the night of the 15th was Chen Tong, and he was not mistaken.

Later, after Huicui Lou opened, he went in and saw Chen Sanhe. The owner of Huicui Lou was Chen Sigongzi. It was obvious that Chen Laosi was Chen Tong, and the Chen family did not have a fourth boy.

He knew that it was not easy for Chen Tong to get to where she is now by disguising herself as a man. The fact that she could be on close terms with the emperor showed that she was very capable and resourceful.

Qiao Zien beside her is so outstanding, they are a perfect match made in heaven, and he, Wu Qiming, is not worthy of them at all.

Only then did he suddenly realize that the ghost that Old Lady Wu, Mrs. Lin, and Wu Cuiwei saw was played by Chen Tong, whose purpose was to seek revenge.

At this time, the Wu family has lost its former warmth and laughter and no longer feels like a real home.

However, Wu Qiming did not harbor any hatred towards Chen Tong.

After all, it was the Wu family who first treated her badly by selling her to a place like a brothel.

If she hadn't been lucky enough to escape, she would have died. And the current state of the Wu family is nothing but karma.

Wu Qiming stood quietly in the snow, his thoughts surging like the tide.

He recalled everything that had happened recently, and before he knew it, he was covered in snow like a snowman.

In order to avoid the nagging of Old Lady Chen, Chen Ruotong put on a white fox fur shawl, held an oil-paper umbrella, and strolled leisurely to the front of the Huicui Building.

Due to heavy snow, the streets were empty and the door of Huicui Building was closed with no guests entering or leaving.

Therefore, Chen Ruotong saw Wu Qiming, who looked like a snowman, at a glance.

Wu Qiming also saw Chen Ruotong, who looked so handsome even in men's clothing.

She was wearing a white fox fur coat and a red robe with delicate patterns embroidered on the collar. She had a black belt tied around her waist, outlining her slender waist.

Her long hair fell behind her like a waterfall, and was gently tied up with a jade hairpin, revealing her fair neck.

She has a handsome face, three-dimensional features, a pair of almond-shaped eyes with slightly upturned corners, revealing a hint of coolness and confidence.

Her lips were painted with colorless lipstick, pink and smooth, and there was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, which made people want to get closer.

Wu Qiming walked forward slowly, opened his mouth, and said tremblingly: "Xiaotong, I know it's you, even if you are dressed as a man, I can recognize you.

It’s our Wu family, it’s me, I’m sorry, it’s only natural that you hate me! I’m leaving, leaving the capital forever, going back to my hometown, and seeing you for the last time…”

As he spoke, Wu Qiming's tears flowed down and fell into the thick snow.

Chen Ruotong looked at the man in front of her, with a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

In the past, there were too many grievances and hatreds between him and the original owner, but now, she has let it go.

She smiled slightly and said softly, "Everything has its own cause and effect. It's good to leave. It's not bad to leave this sad place and live a different way of life. It's also good to live a down-to-earth life.

Take Zhihua and your child and leave here. It will be safer this way. Liang Yachi may not let you go. Leave now while he is busy!

I don't care whether I hate you or not, everything is over, just take care of yourself!"

"Zhihua? Children? Where are they? Could it be you? It was you who saved them and their child?" Wu Qiming was extremely excited.

"Since I know Liang Zhilan wants to kill her, I can't just stand by and watch her die. She's at Old Lady Fang's house in Hulu Lane, West Street."

Wu Qiming listened to Chen Ruotong's words, his eyes were full of guilt. He knew that Chen Ruotong had forgiven him and saved Zhihua and the child, which made him feel extremely moved and relieved.

He nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaotong. I will take good care of Zhihua and the child and live a peaceful life. I hope you can be happy too."

After saying that, Wu Qiming turned around and left to find Zhihua and the child. He wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible with his family.

Chen Ruotong looked at his back and sighed, "Alas, character determines destiny!"

She believed that after going through so many hardships, Wu Qiming would definitely cherish this hard-earned happiness.
