  The second day, the snow got even bigger, and it fell into the garden, making everything a vast expanse of white.

  Xiao Congrong got up early, took her cane and went for a walk in the garden. The whole garden was covered with a thick layer of snow, like a vast expanse of white jade, sparkling and shining. Her mood was very good.

  This pure and unadulterated world makes her feel like a utopia, the so-called "great hiding in the city" of the ancients is probably just this! Who would have thought that in the bustling capital, there was still a piece of holy land that could accommodate her living like this, if it wasn't for Chu Qing's madness, she would have died long ago!

  She got up very early, and there was no one in the garden. This is normal, as this garden, except for Mo Yu and a few others, almost no one comes in, and it's snowing again, so everyone must be hiding in their rooms to keep warm!

  Qiao walked calmly to the other end of the garden, where she could see the wall. She knew that beyond the wall was the outside world. For her own safety, Chu Qing had asked her not to go out, and she had complied.

  But today, for some reason, I really want to take a look at the outside world. Even if it's just standing on the wall and taking a glance, that would be good too.

  Her lightness was amazing, and her movements were swift. She thought it shouldn't be difficult to climb such a wall. Seeing a short tree below the wall, she figured that even if she couldn't reach the top of the wall in one go, climbing the tree first would do.

  She thought of it and did it, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around. She took a deep breath, used her crutches to push off the ground with force, and jumped up, easily climbing onto the tree. But then she realized that trees and the ground are different, and her crutches lost their elasticity. She had flown up, but underestimated it and crashed into the wall, falling down.

  The ground was slippery with snow, and she fell out a long way, her crutches and person separating.

  Her buttocks hurt a bit, and her skirt was dirty, but otherwise she was fine. She smiled wryly as she crawled over to pick up her crutch and then stood up again. She comforted herself that things were much better now, compared to the past when she would fall down and be unable to get up for half a day; now she could move around freely.

  Back to the starting point, this time with experience, knowing that his lightness skill can completely stand on the wall as long as he masters it.

  This time, she didn't make the same mistake as last time and borrowed strength to jump onto the wall. Unexpectedly, she made another mistake. The wall was not as wide as the Yu family's courtyard, just enough for one foot to stand on, and she couldn't stop herself from tumbling forward. In a panic, she hooked her crutch around the wall, flipped over, and sat down on top of the wall, her two hands tightly grasping the wall, while her crutches fell off on either side of the wall.

  "Uh..." She hesitated, staring down at the ground, unsure whether she should go pick up the crutch outside the wall. Chu Qingyan and others had told her not to go out, if something happened to herself it wouldn't be a big deal, but if it dragged in Chu Qingyan and the others, that would be a sin!

  "Hehe... on such a cold day, why is the daughter-in-law climbing the wall?"

  Right on cue, a familiar voice sounded from behind her. Xiao Zongrong turned around somewhat awkwardly and saw Chu Qingchuan wearing all white, leisurely crossing his arms as he gazed at her. From the way he stood, it seemed like he had been there for a while.

  "I... I just wanted to see what's outside the wall..." Xiao Zong's face turned red, and such a clumsy posture had fallen into Chu Qingkuang's eyes? How embarrassing!

  "What did you see, miss?" Chu Qingxian narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly: "Is there a handsome man outside who is as elegant as me, and as beautiful as Pan An for you to see?"

  Dizzy! Xiao Zongrong only then discovered that he actually called her wife, gave him a super big white eye, and scolded: "What are you calling out for, who is your wife? Come and help me pick up the crutches outside, it's not good if someone finds out!"

  "How come you're not my wife yet? Even if it's not now, it will be soon. I'll just call out to get used to it!" Chu Qingchuan still stood calmly in his original position, seemingly not worried about being discovered at all.

  "Who promised to marry you? Although your name has a 'crazy' in it, don't be too crazy!"

  He didn't worry, Xiao Zong also put down his heart, grabbed the wall with both hands, raised his eyes to look at the outside world, and looked a bit dazed.

  A vast expanse of white, jade trees with crystal branches, tall and short, a small path leading to seclusion, yet it is still just a garden...

  Next to the garden was still another garden, no matter how rich Xiao Zong Rong's imagination was, he didn't expect this result. He stared blankly, feeling inexplicably disappointed in his heart. After all the effort of climbing up here, it was just to see another garden?

  She didn't hear her speak, but Chu Qingkong thought for a moment and understood her mood. He flew over and sat down beside her, naturally putting his arm around her shoulder, and smiled: "Feeling cooped up? That's why you wanted to take a look at the outside world? It's my fault, I was neglectful, forgetting that you're someone who loves to move around, always keeping you locked in the garden isn't right... How about this, when the snow stops, I'll take you out for a walk?"

  She was seen through her thoughts, Xiao Zongrong felt a little embarrassed, but thinking about it, she couldn't stay in this garden for the rest of her life! Although the garden is very big and Ren Chulian treats her extremely well, if she continues to be confined in this garden, she will go crazy...

  She thought for a moment and ventured to say: "Qing Kuang, your family's business is so big, don't you have any elsewhere?"

  "Ah, yes! All the major towns have a branch of Chu's store. My adoptive father started out selling tea and now he not only has his own tea mountains but is also expanding his business!"

  Speaking of tea, Xiao Zongrong's mind moved and he said: "Is all the tea in your house made by yourself?"

  "Uh-huh, Tea Mountain's buddies picked tea, processed it themselves, and sent the good stuff to the capital as tribute tea, while the rest was graded and transported to various places."

  Chu Qing laughed maniacally, pointing to the garden in front of her and said: "The tea mountain of the Chu family is hundreds of times bigger than this garden! In the spring when we pick tea, everywhere is a lush green, the tea leaves are fragrant, and the girls who pick tea sing while they work. The scene will make you feel carefree and joyful, I'll take you to see it if you have the chance!"

  Xiao Congrong wanted nothing more than this sentence, and quickly grasped the tail of the conversation to say: "Lightly arrogant, can we discuss something, will it work?"

  "You said that as long as I can do it, you'll definitely agree!" Chu Qing crazily doted on her and pulled her into his arms, using his shoulder to block some of the snowflakes for her.

  The tiny details made Xiao Zhen's heart move, and he didn't resist this slightly ambiguous posture. He said: "I've recovered from all my injuries, and I've also become stronger after learning martial arts. You told me not to go out, I know it's for my safety, but I can't stay in this garden forever. I think the Chu family has so many businesses, there must be some far away from the capital. I want you to take me out of the capital and send me to a place where no one knows me, so that I can live openly and honestly, okay?"

  Chu Qing's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her chin with her hand, looking at him with raised eyebrows: "You want to leave the capital?"

  Xiao Congrong nodded: "Although the capital is good, it's like being in prison if you can't go out. Don't get me wrong, you've been very good to me, and everyone here has been very good to me! Don't say I'm greedy for more, without freedom, no matter how good it is, I feel like something is missing! I want to leave the capital and go to a place where I can go wherever I want, watch the bustle on the streets, listen to neighbors quarreling, live an ordinary but down-to-earth life. Is this asking for too much?"

  "It's not excessive! It's really not excessive!" Chu Qingkong was somewhat moved, and he hugged her into his arms, sighing: "All the fame, wealth, and power in the world ultimately return to ordinariness, why do so many people still rush forward to fight for it? If everyone were as calm as you, wouldn't this world have fewer disputes..."

  "So you agree?" Xiao Zong asked with surprise and delight, looking up at him and saying hastily: "When the snow stops and the weather gets better, will you send me away?"

  Chu Qing pinched her face and sighed, saying: "If you have patience, wait another two months! The situation in the court is about to change again!"

  "What does it have to do with me?" Xiao asked calmly and sensitively.

  Chu Qing smiled mysteriously, giving off an air of having a profound secret that couldn't be revealed to outsiders. Xiao Zhen was most annoyed by people who pretended to be mysterious, so she reached out and pinched his leg, not realizing how much like a little woman this action made her seem. She said angrily, "If you want to say something, then say it! Don't come begging me to listen in the future!"

  Chu Qing laughed loudly and stretched out her hand to pull her in, saying: "It's so cold outside, let's go back inside to talk!"

  After finishing speaking, he turned over and carried her down the wall. Xiao Congrong was shocked, but he was already standing firmly on the ground with her in his arms.

  "My cane!" She pointed to the wall, indicating that there was another cane over there. Chu Qingxian didn't care and carried her back into the house, only saying: "Let Qiaoyan pick it up later!"

  Xiao Congrong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and exclaimed: "That garden is also yours?"

  Chu Qing laughed wildly and pecked her on the face: "Rong'er isn't stupid after all!"

  Xiao Congrong gave him a calm glance, but the astonishment in her heart took a long time to dissipate. These two large gardens occupy so much space in the densely populated capital city! Not to mention the wine tower, Shuiyun Pavilion, and those big and small Chuji branch stores, how vast is the wealth of the Chu family?!

  This doesn't even include the tea mountain assets from various places. If someone said that the Chu family's wealth could rival a country, she wouldn't doubt it!

  Chu Qingkuang dragged Rong into the house, where they ran into Qiao Yan. Chu Qingkuang instructed: "Qiao Yan, go heat up some water for Rong to wash with and change her out of these clothes first!"

  Xiao Congrong couldn't refuse, his own body was indeed very dirty, and even Chu Qingkuang's body was also stained. Although he wondered what had happened in the end, he could only suppress his curiosity for now and ask after washing up.

  Chu Qinghuan hastily returned to the house and changed his clothes, and when he came back, Hua Junzi rushed in excitedly and said in a low voice: "Young Master, something has happened at the Crown Prince's residence!"

  "Oh!" Chu Qingkong wasn't surprised at all, everything was as expected. He looked at Xiao Zongrong's curious face and said: "Speak louder, Rong'er isn't an outsider either, let her hear it and be happy!"

  Hua Junzi smiled and said: "Congratulations to Third Miss! The Crown Prince's affair is going to be a big deal, perhaps your Xiao family will have the opportunity to rise to prominence!"

  Xiao Congrong was stunned for a moment, looking at Hua Junzi for half a day before thinking of asking: "What's going on? Has something changed in the court?"

  Hua Junzi just smiled and looked at Chu Qingkuang, saying: "Let the young master tell you, I'm going to eat dumplings with Mo Yu, it's said that they've just opened and taste great, if we're late there won't be any left!"

  He finished speaking and ran off, with Chu Qingcang shouting from behind: "Bring some back for Rong'er too!"

  "Good...!" Hua Junzi ran away in a puff of smoke, and Chu Qingcang sat down opposite Xiao Congrong, saying: "Why did I let you wait for two more months just now? It was for this matter. Are you willing to clear the name of the Xiao family before leaving, or will you carry this unjust burden with you for the rest of your life, hiding your surname and changing your name?"

  Xiao Zongrong glared at him and blurted out, "Nonsense! Who would want to be invisible for their whole life?! But what's going on here? Can you explain it clearly?"

  。

  "Don't worry, didn't I tell you? Chu Qingfan gently comforted her by holding her hand: "You know that the eldest prince is backed by the Guo family, right? Then you also know that the Guo family controls the salt trade? For so many years, the Guo family has profited greatly from the salt trade, and their wealth and arrogance have attracted a lot of attention. If they were more low-key, it wouldn't be so hateful, but being born into royalty, how can one be low-key?"

  The old emperor is bedridden, but he cannot bear to give up power. Several princes have already come of age, and the position of crown prince has not been settled, which has led to the courtiers vying for power and following their own "wise ruler".

  The Guo family wants to support the eldest son as the crown prince, and the empress will definitely only protect her third son. The fifth son is not suitable for being a crown prince at all, so it's better not to mention him.

  The second and fourth princes also have their own forces. Who will die in the end depends on who is more ruthless, and whoever wins will laugh last.

  The Crown Prince, relying on the support of Guo and Zhou, has always been arrogant in the court, and people have long been dissatisfied with him. This time, taking advantage of the opportunity to capture the assassin, he eliminated his political opponents, which made people even more resentful.

  Some people say that he framed loyal officials to eliminate dissidents, and some even risked their lives to advise the emperor, saying that the Guo family had embezzled tens of millions of silver taels from the national treasury by taking advantage of their control over the salt industry, and asked the emperor to send an imperial envoy to investigate this matter thoroughly, in order to eliminate the country's corrupt officials.

  The old emperor had always hated it when someone had ideas about his national treasury. He managed the economy well in order to destroy the Huayan and unify the world, so that the Wu family would remember his great achievements for generations to come. When he heard that the Guo family was digging behind his back wall, the old emperor became enraged and dispatched an imperial envoy to investigate.

  Three imperial envoys went before and after, one was killed by robbers halfway, another reportedly slipped on the rainy road, the horse-drawn carriage rolled down the mountain with people inside, and the last one lost contact after leaving the capital...

  The old emperor was enraged this time, mobilizing his own elite troops to quietly infiltrate the salt road, replacing all officials in the transportation department overnight, making it convenient to investigate the salt road...

  Nothing has been found out over there, but something has happened at the home of the eldest prince!

  And what's even more ridiculous is that this was all triggered by Xiao Congrong...
