Chapter 244: Wang Ganju's Family Was Destroyed
"Miss, you are here."
Zhu Ming wanted to tease Xu Miaojin again, but he heard another burst of hurried horse hooves sounds outside the door.
Then he saw a young girl striding towards him.
She had walked this road to Duke Wei's Mansion countless times.
"Mr. Ruan!"
Looking at the girl, Xu Miaojin trotted over as if she had seen a savior.
Mu Ruanjun chuckled and reached out to touch her head.
"It smells so strong of Chinese medicine. Are you sick?"
Before Xu Miaojin and Zhu Ming could speak, Mu Ruanjun had already smelled the smell of medicine on them, frowned and asked.
As she spoke, she reached out her hand and touched Xu Miaojin's forehead, and her other hand grasped Xu Miaojin's wrist.
After a while, she put her hand down and nodded: "I have a cold, but I will be well soon."
"Aren't you most afraid of taking medicine?"
After making sure that Xu Miaojin was fine, Mu Ruanjun gently patted Xu Miaojin's head with a doting look.
"Cough cough."
Zhu Ming looked at the two people who were joking with each other and coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Ever since Mu Ruanjun came, the two of them left him aside.
No matter how I put it, they are all princes, this is a bit too much.
"Your Highness, congratulations."
Hearing Zhu Ming's heavy cough, Mu Ruanjun turned around with a strange smile and bowed to him.
"Is this considered a mockery?"
Zhu Ming's face darkened and he asked back in a deep voice.
This Mu Ruanjun had obviously seen him a long time ago, and he spoke in a sarcastic tone.
"No, this is congratulations to our prince and Miao Jin on their engagement."
Mu Ruanjun said, and then looked at Liu Jin who was holding the medicine bowl beside him: "Oh, it can make our Miao Jin drink the medicine obediently."
Hearing Mu Ruanjun's sarcastic tone, Zhu Ming's face became even uglier.
But Mu Ruanjun acted as if he didn't see it and was still laughing there.
"What's wrong with you, Ruan Jun?"
Xu Miaojin, who was originally laughing at Zhu Ming's joke, immediately became shy when she saw that the topic suddenly involved herself.
I haven't seen Mu Ruanjun for so long, why does he feel a little different from before?
Where has the gentle and elegant Mu Ruanjun gone?
"nothing much."
Mu Ruanjun shook his head at Xu Miaojin as if nothing had happened.
"By the way, didn't you go back to Yunnan with Uncle Mu?"
Moreover, Mu Ruanjun followed Mu Ying back to Yunnan, so why is he back now?
"I heard that you two were engaged, so I came back to give you a gift."
Mu Ruanjun said, and glanced at Zhu Ming beside him, and said with a hint of jealousy: "But it seems that my return is redundant."
But despite what he said, Mu Ruanjun still took out a pair of jade pendants from his arms and placed them in Xu Miaojin's palm.
"Thanks……"
Upon seeing this, Xu Miaojin clenched the jade pendant in her hand.
Mu Ruanjun came back all the way from Yunnan, so she naturally would not ignore this kindness.
"What are you thanking me for? I still haven't settled the matter with you about going to such a dangerous place like the mutiny."
Mu Ruanjun rolled his eyes at her with some resentment, then turned to look at Zhu Ming and said, "Young prince, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhu Ming to speak, she took his hand and pulled him to a corner.
"What...what happened?"
Zhu Ming looked at Mu Ruanjun who brought him here, and asked with some confusion.
Judging from Mu Ruanjun's appearance, he should have just returned today, but why does he feel so weird?
"I don't know what your situation is now, but since you and Xu Miaojin are engaged, you have to protect her."
At this moment, Mu Ruanjun, in front of Zhu Ming, put away his joking expression and looked serious.
"Of course I know this."
Zhu Ming nodded. Even without Mu Ruanjun telling him, he would do his best to protect Xu Miaojin.
"That jade pendant can restrain common poisonous insects. Wear it."
Mu Ruanjun glanced at the two jade pendants in Xu Miaojin's hand and gave her serious instructions.
Although she didn't know what situation Zhu Ming was facing, but judging from the calming flower Zhu Ming asked her about last time, she thought that the opponent must also understand witchcraft.
That's all she can do.
"Thank you very much."
Zhu Ming nodded again. It would be good to have someone like Mu Ruanjun who knows witchcraft to help.
"What are you guys talking about there?"
Looking at Mu Ruanjun and Zhu Ming chatting quietly there, Xu Miaojin, who was kept in the dark, frowned and waved at them.
He also didn't know what these two people could be hiding from him.
"nothing."
Seeing this, Zhu Ming and Mu Ruanjun immediately stood up straight, turned around and smiled at Xu Miaojin.
"What were you talking about just now?"
Looking at these two mysterious people, Xu Miaojin slowly moved closer, looked at them interrogatively, and asked in a low voice.
"By the way, where is Uncle Xu? Take me to meet him."
Seeing this, Mu Ruanjun immediately changed the subject and smiled at Xu Miaojin somewhat awkwardly.
"Daddy is resting inside."
Seeing this, Xu Miaojin took Mu Ruanjun's hand and walked inside: "Daddy will be very happy when he knows you are here."
Zhu Ming looked at Mu Ruanjun being taken away by Xu Miaojin and shook his head helplessly.
This Mu Ruanjun was also a person whom I couldn't understand.
"Your Highness..."
Before Zhu Ming could relax for long, a figure suddenly flipped over the wall.
In the heavily guarded Duke Wei's Mansion, this man's appearance did not alarm anyone.
"Master Chen Ling, what did you find?"
Seeing this, Zhu Ming looked around.
The maids and servants around followed Xu Miaojin and Mu Ruanjun to see Xu Da. When they were the only ones left in the huge courtyard, they began to ask in a deep voice.
"There's news from the people down there."
Seeing this, Chen Ling walked to Zhu Ming's side and whispered, "Wang Ganju's family members are all dead. Our people only saved a baby when they went there."
"died?"
After hearing Chen Ling's report, Zhu Ming was also a little surprised.
Wang Ganju clearly didn't say anything, but the Crown Princess still attacked these people.
It was obvious that from the very beginning, she had no intention of letting anyone who knew her survive.
It’s a pity for Wang Ganju, who took all the blame for his family who had been killed by the Crown Princess long ago.
"So, what about the baby?"
He shook his head, calmed himself down, and asked in a deep voice.
“It’s protected.”
Chen Ling nodded in response.
After all, the Jinyiwei are human beings, and they will not let the baby fend for himself when they see him.
Wang Ganju deserved to die, but the child was innocent.
"It's good to keep it. It may be useful in the future."
Zhu Ming sighed.
This child became an orphan in just a few days.
He also saw his own shadow in this man.
I am also an orphan. If I hadn't been picked up by Zhu Yuanzhang and raised as his own grandson, I would probably have died long ago.
