Chapter 15

When Song Ji returned home, Liang He's confession kept ringing in his mind.

"I like him, not only in this life, but also in the next life."

Song Ji walked back to the Song Mansion in a daze.

"Young General, this was brought here by a girl today." Uncle Fu saw Song Ji coming back and hurriedly followed him.

"The servant said today that a girl in white came early this morning, brought a box, and then left." Uncle Fu watched Song Ji take the box, and as if thinking of something, he added, "The servant said that the girl didn't come in a carriage. It seemed that she walked here on her own, panting."

After listening to Fugen's description of the girl, Uncle Fu thought that the girl must be from a certain family. She even personally delivered the gift to the general's door. Either the gift was important, or she was interested in the general.

He had to keep an eye on this woman for the general.

When Song Ji heard that Liang He came over by herself, he felt a little guilty thinking about how she almost got into trouble today while trying to return the jade pendant to him.

She really came to see me.

Song Ji didn't know how to deal with it for a moment. He had just learned that Fu Jinchu liked him, and hadn't digested this important news yet. Then he found out that she liked him so much that she even wanted to send his things to him personally. It turned out that she was deeply in love with him.

Song Ji looked at the box, opened it and saw the jade pendant wrapped in cloth by Liang He, and it was obvious how attentive she was.

Inside was a note Zhang Lianghe had slipped in, "General Song, I left your jade pendant with me that night."

The characters are grand and timeless.

Uncle Fu stood on tiptoe and accidentally saw the contents of the note. He quickly turned his head and pretended to be calm on the surface, but his heart was in turmoil.

"General, Madam, the young general is really doing well. He will be getting married soon, and the little general will be having one soon too."

Uncle Fu thought today was a good day, so he happily went to the pharmacy, wanting to find Fang Xian for a drink and tell him the good news.

Song Ji didn't know why Uncle Fu was so excited. Looking at his quickened pace, he felt a little strange and didn't say anything.

Song Ji put the jade pendant and its box away and went to his study. This foreign merchant had come to Chu today, so he must have some secrets that he had to deal with first.

"Hurry up, hurry up. All of you, come and surround here. Whoever dares to take our daughter from the Fu family away?" Fu Jinxi heard that Fu Jinchu had secretly run out of the house and thought that she was going to meet some man.

If my grandmother knew about this, she would definitely punish me, and even Madam Yuan would be implicated. Then my mother would have the opportunity to seize control of the family.

Fu Jinxi thought about it and laughed unconsciously. Then she stepped into Chuyuan.

"Ms.

When you came, our young lady had already gone to the third young lady's place and has not returned yet."

When Liang He came back, he asked Chu Lan to tell Chu Li that he would sleep at Fu Jinwan's house tonight.

Chu Li was originally panicked when she came back and found Liang He was not there, but Liang He left a note, and Chu Li was always worried that something had happened to Liang He. But she was finally relieved when she knew that Liang He was in the courtyard of the third lady.

"Second sister went to third sister's place?" Fu Jinxi said she didn't believe it.

Her people told her that Fu Jinchu sneaked out of the house through the back door, so there must be something fishy going on.

"Oh, then I'll go to my third sister's place to see if my second sister is there." Fu Jinxi thought that the maid Chu Li had deliberately lied in order to hide her leaving the house from Liang He.

"Let's go to Third Sister's place."

Fu Jinxi left Chuyuan and headed towards Wanyuan.

After walking for a while, Chu Yin came running over and reported to Fu Jinxi, "Miss, the second lady is now with the third lady."

"When did she come back?"

"I heard that after the second young lady finished her breakfast, she went to stay with the third young lady and never left."

Fu Jinxi cursed inwardly, thinking she was a step too late. Her people were not wrong. Fu Jinchu returned to the room and soon left through the back door.

An opportunity wasted.

Fu Jinxi suppressed her anger and went straight to Li Junlian.

———

At night, Tianhua Restaurant.

"General Song, what's going on? Did you capture those people today? Did you find out anything?" Lu Xiujin looked at Song Ji, who had come to drink with him, and found it a bit strange. Normally, it was he who invited him to drink, but today he had come on his own initiative.

"We've caught them all. But, we only found out that they have some relationship with the Second Prince, nothing else." Song Ji took a sip of wine, smelled the aroma of the wine, and remembered the aroma of wine on Liang He's body today. It was the same smell, and he couldn't help but grin.

Lu Xiujin looked at Song Ji, who was somewhat lost in thought, and thought that this guy was in trouble. Then he sat up straight and tried to find out what was going on with him.

"But I heard from my cousin that you stabbed him to death with a sword and didn't even leave him alive for interrogation." Lu Xiujin had recently heard his cousin say a lot of bad things about Song Ji. Although he didn't say it so directly, he could still hear it in a subtle way, especially in front of Miss Fu San.

"He was a scoundrel. I killed him with one sword instead of torturing him. It was a bargain for him." Song Ji got angry when he heard about this man. Fude had heard that this group of people had robbed many women in Chu State and killed several of them.

Fortunately, he arrived in time and Fu Jinchu was not in any danger.

Lu Xiujin also knew what bad things this group of people had done, so he didn't say much.

"When you came to Yaofangtang today, didn't I tell you that the young lady from the Fu family, for whom you helped block the cup that day, came to deliver wine to Old Man Fang? Did you meet in my restaurant?" Lu Xiujin felt that the young lady from the Fu family had a deep bond with him and his brothers, so he also acted as a matchmaker.

"B...b...b...c ...

"Oh, so what happened?" Lu Xiujin watched Song Ji drinking silently, and he understood what was going on, but he was not in a hurry to ask. After all, he could not hide things.

Song Ji stammered, "She said she likes me..."

"Cough cough cough!" Lu Xiujin choked on the wine.

"This girl said that in front of you?!" How come no girl has ever said she likes him in front of him!

"I eavesdropped." Song Ji paused and spoke, glancing out the window, feeling a little uncomfortable. He picked up the wine jug and took a big gulp.

"What about you? Do you like her?" Lu Xiujin asked as if he had learned a big secret.

He doesn't know this either, Song Ji thought.

"To be honest, at the beginning, I had a little admiration for Fu Jinwan." After all, anyone who could escape from his place must be a smart person.

When Lu Xiujin heard this, he stopped talking and said, "Don't argue with my cousin, or I'll be in a dilemma." Lu Xiuyuan liked Fu Jinwan, and his cousin saw it clearly.

"Lu Xiuyuan?" When Song Ji heard Lu Xiuyuan, he immediately understood.

"I'm not the kind of person who steals someone's love or breaks up someone's marriage." Song Ji sneered and waved his hand. The person Lu Xiuyuan likes must be as cunning and deceitful as him.

"Hahahaha, if you really become the one from the Fu family today, then you will be a relative to my cousin. Speaking of which, that person is Miss Fu Er, right? Then you would be his brother-in-law!" Lu Xiujin thought about it, if the two of them really became relatives, and his cousin called Song Ji "Brother-in-law", that picture would be really interesting!

"Nonsense! Who wants to be related to him!" Song Ji thought Lu Xiujin was dreaming. He and Lu Xiuyuan were like water and fire.

Song Ji looked at Lu Xiujin who was still laughing wildly, and thought to himself that he had wanted to ask him about this matter, but he didn't expect to be teased.

Forget it. Lu Xiujin doesn’t look like a reliable person. You’d better think it over carefully yourself.

When it comes to liking or disliking something, once you start wondering if you like it, that's when it begins. You'll be looking forward to what the person will do and looking forward to meeting them.
