C23 Sow Hope

Ji Ruchang stopped walking and turned around to look at the little girl who was only up to his shoulder. She was obviously a stinky little girl, but the things she said and did far exceeded his imagination.

"Can I ask you something about that?" Ning Silian twisted her fingers as she looked at Ji Ruchang worriedly.

"Go ahead."

"Is what you said to Eldest Uncle true?" She remembered back at the back of the mountain when he said he was homeless.

"What do you think?" Ji Ruchang raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Ning Silian curled her lips. This man was really black in the stomach and even made her guess that it was probably not true. "Then when do you plan to leave? I'm afraid that I won't be able to redeem this jade pendant to you in time. "

"I will leave when the time comes!" Ji Ruchang said in a confused manner. Now that those people had started to attack him, if he returned to the capital now, it would bring about a fatal disaster. Besides, it didn't matter to him whether he went back or not!

Ning Silian was like a monk, not knowing what he meant. Could it be that he wouldn't leave after his injuries healed? What does it mean to leave when the time is right?

Seeing her in a daze, Ji Ruchang's expression became gloomy, "Is there any other problem?"

"Um, is Gulo City the Imperial City?" Ning Silian pondered for a moment before daring to ask. She didn't dare to ask who ruled this country, as it would be fine if she were to ask others. However, the man in front of her, she always felt that he was out of the ordinary.

She frowned as a light flashed in her eyes. Could it be that he had begun to suspect her, "Um, I was just curious, because my uncle previously said that he would betroth me to Third Old Master Lee in Gulo City as a child. That's why I'm curious."

"You have never used a Village Liu before?" Ji Ruchang locked onto her gaze, wanting to see some of it.

Ning Silian raised her head. The moment their eyes met, she calmly replied, "Never."

After a long silence, Ji Ruchang finally shifted his gaze away from her body, "Gu Luo is indeed the Imperial City, but the Village Liu is eighty miles away from it. If you enter the city, you will still need to find a horse to take you there. He looked at her feet and thought of the moment when she had taken off her shoes in the trap.

Following his gaze, Ning Silian immediately understood. If she walked on her own feet, she probably wouldn't be able to go back and forth even after three days and three nights. "I understand."

Seeing that he was about to rest, Ning Silian closed the door for him and retreated out of the room.

"Elder sister, is brother-in-law going to rest?" Ning Huai squatted in the yard and fiddled with the seed in his hand.

"Alright, let's keep it down." Ning Silian squatted beside him and helped him plant the seeds. "Did Eldest Aunt bring this?" Did you say what kind of plant it was? "

"Isatis and leeks!" Ning Huai pointed to a row and said, "These two rows are Isatis, and these two rows are Leek! Eldest Aunt said she would be able to eat in April. "

"That's great!" Ning Silian touched Ning Huai's head and looked at the four rows of furrows, as if she saw hope. She believed that with her own hard work, she would definitely be able to obtain peace and tranquility. As for the future, she could not predict, but the most important thing right now was to use the jade pendant in her arms as her first payment.
