Fang Rou leaned against the wall, listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
She remembered that that day in the bamboo house was the day of worship for Shen Zhixi and the blind man.
For so many years, although she didn't ask, she knew in her heart that Wan Ying's father was probably the blind man. She could tell just by looking at Wan Ying's almost similar face. Later, Shen Zhixi never mentioned that person and never showed sadness or hatred. From this, it can be seen that she was not abandoned by the blind man, but maybe...
So, so…
She was not familiar with the place at the moment, so she finally managed to catch up with Yuejing City by relying on some clues. However, Yuejing City was so big that she couldn't guarantee that she could successfully find Shen Zhixi.
If anyone can help...
However, since Shen Zhixi decided to cut off contact with that man, if she took the initiative to find him, would Shen Zhixi hate her to death?
Moreover, she was not very clear about the entanglement between Shen Zhixi and that person.
What if things don't get done and bring new troubles to Shen Zhixi?
She was undecided and no one would give her time to wait for her to decide. The man on the white horse had already passed by the alley.
She closed her eyes, calmed her breathing and just said.
She had never thought about relying on anyone. Even if she didn't meet him, she would only be alone.
Thinking about it, he took out a silver whistle from his arms, which was used to summon the Jade Bee, but he was distracted and failed to catch up with the Jade Bee. Stepping out of the alley, he was about to blow the whistle when he bumped into someone.
The man was not on guard and was shouting loudly.
"Lianzhou, wait..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly bumped into someone and interrupted his words.
It's a man.
His heavy body naturally had less impact, but Fang Rou was almost knocked to the ground. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and pulled Fang Rou back with quick eyes and hands.
"Are you...are you okay?"
The man's voice sounded gentle, like a spring breeze.
Fang Rou rubbed her injured arm, raised her eyebrows and saw the man. He is very good-looking, and Yue Jing is really an outstanding person. Isn’t it true that there are beautiful men everywhere?
The way the man looked at her was even more astonishing.
There's something graceful and well-mannered in her stunning appearance.
Fang Rou is indeed beautiful. Different from Shen Zhixi's warm and bright appearance, her beauty has a sense of weakness, which makes people, especially men, instinctively care about her. But at the same time, her eyes are bright and full of energy. It seems that the face is weak, but the strong gap is indeed eye-catching.
But Fang Rou stared at him, not just because he was good-looking.
But she always felt that there was a sense of déjà vu between this man's brows, as if she had seen him before somewhere.
"You..." Fang Rou came to her senses first and moved her arms.
Only then did the person in front of her realize that she was still holding her, and hurriedly let go of her hand and took a step back.
"I'm sorry, I..." Halfway through his words, he raised his head and looked in the direction behind Fang Rou and grinned, "Uncle Guo, it turns out you heard it. I heard you were back in the city earlier and wanted to go. I was looking for you, but then I heard that you had entered the palace, so I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Fang Rou turned her head when she heard this, and suddenly she secretly screamed.
It was the man on the white horse who had just returned. He was not riding fast, so it was not surprising that he could hear shouts.
It’s just that, my uncle...
The blind man back then turned out to be the uncle of the current dynasty. Does Shen Zhixi know this?
A commoner like her who is far away from Yuejing has never seen any uncles. These big shots can criticize her with just a word, so she always feels frightened in her heart. And since she has decided to replace Shen Zhixi, then naturally It's to stay away from.
But just as she took a step forward, the man in front of her reached out to stop her.
"Wait a moment, I don't know if you are injured. I will take you to the hospital later."
"No……"
"Uncle Guo." The man hurriedly smiled at Song Lianzhou and said, "I have told you something different tonight, but there is one thing. It is time for you to marry my sister when you come back this time. My sister has been waiting for you for so many years... …”
"I can't afford to be the legitimate daughter of Ning Chenghou's family."
"Going high? Song Lianzhou, your great uncle, who is high-flying whom? Are you..."
"Xie Jingshi!" Hearing this tone, Song Lianzhou was angry.
Fang Rou frowned, her heart filled with turbulence.
What kind of luck did I have today to meet two such people at once, an uncle of the state and the son of a noble family? She raised her eyes and glanced at the man beside her. Since the daughter-in-law of Ning Cheng's Hou family was his sister, he was naturally from the Hou family as well.
Noticing her gaze, Xie Jingshi looked over.
Facing her, Xie Jingshi had another look on his face. He was afraid that if she waited too long, he would have to compromise with Song Lianzhou.
In fact, he understood what Song Lianzhou meant.
He and Song Lianzhou had grown up together, and their friendship was different from others. He knew that Song Lianzhou didn't mean that to his sister, and although he felt it was a pity, he didn't want to force it.
"Okay, okay, just don't tell me. I accidentally bumped into this girl just now. I don't know if she was injured. I'm going to take her to the hospital for a checkup. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go find you tomorrow. "
Song Lianzhou didn't reply, but followed Xie Jingshi's words and focused his attention on Fang Rou.
Fang Rou's back was hairy and her whole body was stiff.
She could feel the look in Song Lianzhou's eyes like a blade slicing through her eyes. Maybe it was because of her own guilty conscience, but it was very difficult anyway.
Fortunately, Song Lianzhou was not interested in her.
After a while, he turned his horse's head and continued to move forward.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves disappearing, Fang Rou slowly exhaled.
"Girl." Xie Jingshi turned around and was very gentle to Fang Rou, "I didn't have time to ask you, are you okay? I see you twisted your foot, is it serious?"
Fang Rou's eyebrows moved and she lowered her eyes slightly.
He didn't mention it, but he did mention that his left ankle did seem to hurt a little. He was so nervous because of Song Lianzhou just now that he forgot about the pain.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, sir."
He said it was okay, but there was a hint of calculating cunningness in his eyes.
Xie Jingshi stared at her for a long time, and then felt that it was inappropriate to look at a girl like this on the street, so he stepped back half a step: "I heard that the tone of your voice does not sound like someone from Yuejing, but more like someone from the south. Yes, I’ve been there before, and the girls there are so gentle when talking.”
Fang Rou pretended to be shy, lowered her eyes and curled her lips.
If it were anyone else, it would be easy for these words to sound obscene, but when they came out of Xie Jingshi's mouth, all I could hear was... simplicity.
Or are all the men in Yuejing so simple?
Back then, was it possible that the uncle Song Lianzhou was too naive and was coaxed by Shen Zhixi...
"Young master is really smart." She raised her eyes and pretended to give up, "I am indeed not from Yuejing City, and today is my first day here. Before I settled down, my parents asked me to go out to see others. The city has hired some servants, but I haven’t found the place yet. I wonder if you know where they are?”
"Know."
Xie Jingshi agreed happily, but Fang Rou had a smile in her eyes.
He just said that he was really easy to deceive, and he found out after just one try.
For a portal that can afford to buy slaves, even if the master needs to go out in person, there are always one or two maids and servants running errands.
