Chapter 28 Chapter 28 You dare to touch my people?! ...

In the past, the young master served as the military commander for King Fengyang for half a year. He never made a sound even when he was hit by several arrows. But now... he can't bear it even if he was hit by an arrow in the arm?

Just as he was about to speak, Ling Feng outside the door said with a worried look on his face: "Yushu, come out and help."

When they were the only two left in the tent, she bit her lip, her eyes watery, her slender fingers resting on the table as she tilted her head to look at Chen Rang and said, "Chen Rang, your hands are so inconvenient, how about... I feed you?"

Chen Rang was stunned, his eyes shimmering with coldness, yet he felt an inexplicable sense of comfort in his heart. He refused with a cold face, "No need to bother."

Tsk, this guy was fine just now, how come he became like this after being out for a while?

Fang nodded sheepishly, and continued to eat the spareribs after his appetite returned.

He even poured the rich sauce-flavored soup over the rice, confusing Su Su Xiang!

But when he glanced at Chen Rang again, he saw that the bowl of medicinal porridge was barely touched. He leaned on his chin and looked at the document in his hand.

Su Su blinked and said, "Is your porridge not tasty?"

"My hand hurts, I don't want to move."

Tsk, why is this man so pretentious!

I just said I wanted to feed him, but he flatly refused. Now he is hinting at me again.

Forget it, forget it, don’t be angry with the patient!

"Then I feed you?"

Shen Rang was a little confused and flipped through the book casually: "Whatever."

Whatever you want.

Su Su understood this principle. After she stood up, her legs became numb from kneeling for a long time. She walked over and took a cushion to sit down with her legs straight.

Shen Rang glanced at her and wanted to scold her.

But since the food was already served, he couldn't be too harsh, so he just turned a blind eye.

The medicinal porridge was very delicious at this temperature, warm. Su Su scooped a spoonful and placed it next to Shen Rang's mouth.

Unexpectedly, Chen Rang looked past the spoon and stared at the oil stains on Yuan Susu's lips.

The bony hand loosened the book, letting it close, and suddenly reached out to wipe the corner of Su Su's lips.

Yuan Susu was stunned, her pair of fox eyes trembling. She felt the slightly rough fingertips rubbing against the corner of her lips...

I couldn't help but shudder.

But... she didn't feel disgusted or want to avoid it at all, but a blush quietly crept up on her face.

"Sir, from Duke Zheng..." Yu Shu lifted the curtain and walked in. His pupils trembled as he never expected to see such a scene. He turned around in shame and left the tent.

Su Su felt ashamed as if her secrets had been discovered, and the spoon in her hand fell down, and happened to land on Shen Rang's clothes.

She quickly took the handkerchief to wipe it: "Sorry, my hands are shaking."

Shen Rang's voice was slightly hoarse, and the tips of his ears turned red silently: "It's okay."

He just felt embarrassed, but Susu's furry bun swayed in front of him because she lowered her head, which was very itchy.

Also... very fragrant.

Sweet with a refreshing gardenia scent.

But, the porridge just happened to fall on the clothes around the thighs...

Her hand was neither light nor heavy, and Shen Rang's mouth was inexplicably dry. He turned around and picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

After Su Su wiped him, she didn't notice anything strange about Shen Rang and felt that the atmosphere was weird, but she felt vaguely that it was not suitable to stay here for long: "I'd better go back first, I'll let Yu Shu come."

Chen Rang's eyes were slightly cold, and he suppressed the movement in his heart and said muffledly: "Yeah."

After Su Su left, Shen Rang silently recited the Heart Clearing Mantra several times, and after guzzling down several glasses of water, he calmed down the inexplicable thoughts in his mind.

He took the porridge, drank it all, and said to Yu Shu outside the tent, "Come in."

After Yu Shuzhuo's attendant cleared the table, he said, "Sir, just now... Princess Rongyue of the Duke of Zheng came to visit you."

"Rong Yue?" Shen Rang frowned slightly. "She returned to Beijing?"

Princess Rongyue was almost married to Yu Chenrang, but Duke Zheng died on the battlefield while fighting to the death to defend the northern border.

Rong Yue and Chen Rang's engagement was delayed because of the three-year mourning period for his father.

Shen Rang didn't really like Rong Yue back then, it was just because he had taken a few arrows for Duke Zheng after serving as the commander of the Northern Frontier for half a year.

He insisted on marrying his only daughter to Shen Rang.

However, he never expected that only half a year after he was ordered to return to the capital, he would hear the news that Duke Zheng had died in battle.

Yu Shu stood aside and glanced at the brocade handkerchief embroidered with gardenias in Shen Rang's hand, absent-mindedly: "Sir, is the person you want to see outside?"

Shen Rang nodded and changed into a set of plain teacups: "See you."

"promise."

When Zheng Shuangyu entered, the green jade hairpin she always wore in her black hair looked a little worn.

She was wearing a frosty shawl wrapped around her plain silk gown, and her lips were paler than the withered crabapple blossoms in the pond at the princess's mansion.

The hem of her skirt swayed with her steps, and a few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks.

There was only an empty silver bracelet on her wrist, and only a red plum hairpin made her look more beautiful.

"Shuang Yu greets Lord Shen." Her eyes moved slightly, as if there were tears.

When she left Kyoto and returned to Luzhou to handle her father's funeral, Shen Rang was just a fourth-rank assistant censor in the Censorate.

He never thought that when he returned to Kyoto, he had already become the head of the Censorate and the eldest princess's tutor.

Shen Rang gently placed the scroll in his hand on the table: "Princess Rongyue, there is no need to be restrained, sit down."

Zheng Shuangyu just met the eldest princess. She had heard that the eldest princess, who had lost her memory, had a close relationship with Chen Rang.

Just now, after she had paid her respects to His Majesty, she was about to look for Chen Rang, but she saw him kissing Yuan Jiyin in public.

Zheng Shuangyu could only remember vividly how Shen Rang had once said to her: "The eldest princess has ulterior motives and should not be made a close friend."

But now, it has become like this.

When she left Beijing, she asked Shen Rang if he could wait for her for three more years, after which she would return to Beijing and marry him.

Shen Rang avoided the question at that time and just said, "You should take care of the Duke's funeral first. We can discuss this matter later."

Her eyes focused on Chen Rang again. He was silent, and his eyes suddenly swept over the sugar-steamed chestnut cake that Su Su liked, and then he picked it up.

Zheng Shuangyu asked in surprise, "Doesn't Jingzhi never like sweet things?"

"Well, it was like that before, but..." Chen Rang felt the sweetness lingering on the tip of his tongue, "People will change."

Zheng Shuangyu was suddenly startled, and her nose felt sore. She had always been a smart person.

Of course I understand what Shen Rang meant by this sentence.

She understood that Shen Rang had agreed to the marriage because his family had secretly exchanged engagement cards without telling him.

If Shen Rang broke the contract directly, he was afraid that it would be bad for the woman's reputation.

Secondly, Duke Zheng had entrusted himself to Shen Rang when he was seriously injured. And because Shen Rang had blocked several arrows for the Duke on the battlefield, it was even more difficult for him to face him.

How could Zheng Shuangyu not understand?

Her eyes were red, and a teardrop ran down her cheek. She clenched the teacup, bit her lip, looked at Chen Rang, and said softly, "I came here this time... Actually, I want to ask you, is our original marriage still..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion outside.

He heard Susu's voice keenly, his heart suddenly tightened, he stood up, opened the tent and went out.

Zheng Shuangyu wiped away her tears, stood up and went out with Chen Rang.

I saw that a group of people not far away were making a commotion.

Cuicui's face was bruised and blue from being pinched, tears welled up in her eyes. She saw Shen Rang rushing over and asked for help: "Master, go and persuade His Highness."

Su Su blurted out the essence of Chinese culture: "I *you*, you big fool! How dare you touch my people?"

Chen Rang scolded, "How dare you! Where do you think you are here? What are you doing?"

No one knew where Lin Zhuo was at this time. Su Su was angry and was stopped by Aunt Jin and Yuan Jishu. The one who was arguing with the eldest princess opposite was Han Yunshu, the youngest daughter of Changqing Marquis. She was pinned to the ground and only broke free from his control when she saw Shen Rang coming.

She cried so hard that her body shook violently, clutching Shen Rang's sleeve and said, "Master Shen, save me. Yuan Jiyin wants to kill me."

Shen Rang looked at Su Su, who was not looking at him, but was caressing Cuicui's face and said distressedly: "Call the imperial physician!"

He probably knew what was going on. He pulled his sleeve away from Han Yunshu's hand, took the handkerchief handed to him by Yu Shu, wiped his sleeves with a cold face, and then stood in front of Su Su without saying a word.

He narrowed his eyes, threw the handkerchief to the ground, and looked at Han Yunshu with an oppressive look. He sneered, "Is this how the Marquis of Changqing teaches his daughter? How dare you address His Highness by his name?"

Han's daughter's legs suddenly weakened and she knelt on the ground: "It's unfair... Young Master, you didn't know that this lowly servant just contradicted me. Yun Shu had no idea that she was actually the eldest princess's person..."

"I didn't know you had an eye disease?" Shen Rang retorted coldly, "Cuicui is the eldest princess's personal maid, always by her side, and you didn't know this? Or did you, the Han family, do this on purpose? Even if His Highness accused you of treason and beheaded you today, would Marquis Changqing dare to say a single word of 'no'?"

Yuan Susu looked at Chen Rang's back in surprise. She didn't know that Chen Rang was such a person who only helped his followers and not the people. It wasn't as serious as he said.

She was so angry just now that she wanted Han Yunshu, who had been bullying her behind her back, to kowtow and apologize to Cuicui.

But her rude words and indirect criticism made Su Su really want to teach her a lesson.

Who knew that Shen Rang would catch them? I was ready to be scolded, but who knew...

He actually helped himself?

Chen Rang's words made Han Yunshu so angry that he couldn't utter a word. He could only look at Su Su with resentment and was helped up and returned to the tent.

He turned around and looked at Su Su, who looked up at him and said a little embarrassedly: "Chen Rang, thank you..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Rang sneered, a faint smile in the corner of his eyes: "Your Highness, go back and copy the Tao Te Ching. It is disrespectful for the royal family to insult others. Does Your Highness have any objection?"

The gratitude in Susu's heart suddenly disappeared.

That's right, Shen Rang clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs and treats others strictly, so how could he let himself go easily?

Seeing Su Su turned around and left angrily, Shen Rang asked in a deep voice: "Where are you going?"

Yuan Susu paused, turned around unhappily, and said sarcastically, "Where are you going? Go back and copy the scriptures, or someone will come nagging you again. It's so annoying!"

Suddenly Yu Shu came forward and stopped him from chasing after her: "Sir, His Majesty has summoned you."

Shen Rang had no choice but to give up.

"Your Highness." A pleasant and melodious voice called Susu from behind.

She turned around and found that it was the woman who had come with Chen Rang just now.

Yuan Susu suppressed some of her emotions. She nodded with a puzzled look in her eyes, waiting for her to speak.

Zheng Shuangyu walked up to Su Su and saluted her with dignity: "Your Highness, your servant Rong Yue greets you."

"Is there something?" Su Su nodded slightly.

She was graceful and elegant, even more dignified than Susu, and her every frown and smile was full of dignity: "Your Highness, you should know why this minister came to the capital, right?"

Su Su frowned and shook her head slightly.

"I have returned to the capital specifically to reconcile our old relationship and marry Jingzhi."

"So?" Su Su raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
