Chapter 171 Running Away for Love
Early in the morning, my mother and Weihua went to town to do some shopping. Ranmo slept a little longer in bed. When he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. He began to wash and dress.
Suddenly, a voice outside shouted, "Is Master Ran Mo at home?" Ran Mo almost laughed out of anger when he heard it. What happened? Why was he calling so solemnly?
Ranmo went over to open the door, and Qingsheng jumped into the yard, then hugged Ranmo's arms and did a fancy spin. Ranmo was caught off guard and almost fell into his arms.
Ranmo was about to scold her when Qingsheng asked if she had slept in again. Ranmo was too embarrassed to answer. Qingsheng looked around again and asked if his aunt and the others were there.
Ran Mo glanced at him, broke free from his arms, and walked into the house. Qing Sheng followed closely behind.
After entering the room, he looked around, frowned and said, "Oh, it's been a long time since I last entered your boudoir. I really missed it." Hearing his half-literary words, Ran Mo was amused.
Qingsheng walked over to Ranmo's bed and sat down, then stretched out on his back, sniffing the fragrant scent of the pillow. Then he raised his head slightly and beckoned to Ranmo, inviting her to come over.
Seeing that Ranmo didn't respond, he stood up, took her hand, and sat down on the bed with her. After sitting down, he gazed into Ranmo's eyes affectionately and held her hand even tighter.
Ran Mofang's heart was pounding. Yesterday, she was still thinking about him, and today he came to her house, looking at her with such a fierce look. Could it be that he also had some ideas?
"I'm so envious of Mr. Wu." Jingsheng pretended to sigh and looked at Ranmo with a hint of regret.
Ran Mo thought, here we go again. I can't figure out what you're thinking. If you're envious, why not bring a sedan chair and marry me? I hope your father doesn't pull your ears and ask you what your thoughts are on if you don't practice martial arts well.
While thinking this in his heart, he couldn't help but say, "I envy him too. Hurry up, I can't wait." He stretched out his hand and made an exaggerated look of longing.
Qingsheng was amused by her. He hugged her and kissed her. Ranmo wanted to act again, but Qingsheng just hugged her tightly. Ranmo had no choice but to let him do it for a while.
Taking a moment to catch his breath, Ran Mo muttered, "I wonder how things are going with Sister Hu and the others?"
Qingsheng also muttered, "Who knows? I haven't seen Young Master Wu in the past few days. I wonder where he went."
Hmm? Ran Mo was slightly surprised and forced herself to separate from Qing Sheng. She clearly felt that something was wrong.
Qingsheng smacked his lips reluctantly, looked at her and said, "It's okay. Young Master Wu is a grown man, so what could possibly go wrong if he runs away?"
"Did he tell you where he was going?" "No, he wouldn't have gone to Hu Ling, would he?" Qingsheng blurted out.
They both paused. Qingsheng's words inadvertently reminded them. Could Young Master Wu have gone out to look for Hu Ling? It wouldn't hurt to go, but if he stayed with Hu Ling instead of returning home, it would be troublesome if his father found out.
The two decided to go to Wu Shao's house. If he hadn't returned yet, they would go look for him at Hu Ling's place. After packing up briefly, they left.
On the way, Qingsheng said quietly, "Isn't your husband the one who makes you worry less?" Ranmo glanced at him and was still in the mood to joke.
So I asked him back, "If I were in Sister Hu's situation, what would you do?"
Qingsheng was stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, "How could you be like her? You are so knowledgeable, curious, smart, elegant and dignified..."
"Stop it." Ran Mo snorted. Stop trying to feed me these revival potions. I really need to get to the bottom of this. If my own situation isn't too good, do you still want to marry me?
Looking at Ran Mo's aggressive gaze, Qing Sheng knew he had run into a tough opponent today. This little girl was definitely going to make him give an explanation. Oh, it was all his fault for talking too much and showing off.
He stood still, turned around, held Ranmo's arms with his hands, looked straight into Ranmo's eyes, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Then listen carefully. In this life, I don't care where you are or who you are, I'm destined to be with you! No one can separate us! The same goes for you. You are not allowed to abandon me." After saying that, he continued to stare at Ran Mo with a burning gaze.
Ran Mo's heart was about to be burned by him. In his intoxication, he showed a bit of clarity and tact as a lawyer and said, "How do you prove it?" After saying it, he felt a little regretful. What a spoiler.
Qingsheng looked at her expression and knew that her question was just a casual one, so he started thinking and gave her a clever answer in a flash.
"You know what? When you were dressed as a teenager, I made up my mind that I would be with you even if my father kicked me out of the house.
Now that you are a girl, I have no worries. If my father dares to stop me, I will go to the palace and ask the Queen to officiate our marriage."
After Qingsheng finished speaking, he was very satisfied with his answer and looked at Ranmo's reaction expectantly.
Ran Mo felt that his answer was quite standard, except that the example he gave was a little awkward. Besides, what did he mean by "already a girl"? She had always been a girl, right?
As the two were expressing their feelings to each other, they heard someone in front of them greet them, "Mr. Chu." Looking up, they saw it was a servant from Young Master Wu's family.
The two of them happened to ask him if Young Master Wu had returned home. The servant said he was also out looking for someone on the master's orders. Young Master Wu had not returned yet, and everyone in the mansion was very anxious.
Upon hearing the news, the two decided to go directly to Hu Ling to see if Wu Shao was with her, in other words, to see if he was living in a brothel.
Just as I turned the T-junction, I saw Xin'er coming from the direction of the fireworks building. Her father was the shopkeeper there, and she probably just came out after seeing her father.
Xin'er spotted them from afar and trotted over happily. Ranmo approached her and chatted with her for a few words. Then he asked her if Hu Ling was in the brothel at that moment.
Xin'er's expression changed slightly and she shook her head. Ranmo noticed something was wrong with her and asked if there was anything he hadn't told her.
Xin'er looked at the two of them, hesitant and unwilling to speak. Ran Mo said seriously: "Xin'er, is there anything else you can hide from me?"
These words were indeed powerful. Xin'er waved her hands and said, "No, it's just that Sister Hu asked her not to tell anyone before she left."
The two of them felt their hearts sink when they heard this. Hu Ling left? Where did she go? They continued to look at Xin'er.
Xin'er gritted her teeth and said simply, "Sister Hu has always planned to leave the Yanhua Tower, but she just hasn't found a suitable place to stay yet.
A few days ago, she made up her mind for some reason and moved out. She only told me about it. But she didn't tell me where she was going.
"Strangely, she left without any problems. No one in the fireworks building tried to stop her. I wonder if someone helped her escape."
Some things were hard to say, but the other two could understand them. They wondered if Hu Ling had really run away with Wu Shao for love.
This was good, Xin'er and the servant from before had acted as the two messengers, so they wouldn't have missed out. But the clues were gone, and they didn't know where to look for them now.
Qingsheng suggested they go to Young Master Wu's house and wait for news from his servant. Ranmo thought this was the only way for now. He said goodbye to Xin'er and returned to Young Master Wu's house with Qingsheng.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw an old man with white hair and beard standing in front of the courtyard, lecturing the servants. Pan Sheng hurried over to greet him.
The old man was none other than Wu Shao's father. Seeing Qingsheng, his expression softened a bit, and he asked him if he had seen any trace of Wu Shao.
Qingsheng replied that he hadn't yet. Master Wu was so angry that he slammed his fist on his palm and said that when he found this rebellious son, he would lock him up and beat him up.
Pan Sheng advised him not to get too angry, as it would harm his health. He also said that Young Master Wu was cautious and nothing would go wrong.
Master Wu sighed, turned around, and ordered his men to hurry and search for him. Qingsheng took the opportunity to excuse himself and took Ranmo back to his room.
