Chapter 391 What about trust between people?

Zhuang Qingning shook his head helplessly.

But then again, Mr. Fan is such a naughty old man, and Chu Jinnian loves his younger brother so much, the relationship between these two people...

Tsk tsk, I suddenly feel that the relationship between the two people seems a little subtle. Maybe it is not what I see on a daily basis?

But after all, this was someone else's family business, and Zhuang Qingning didn't want to think too much about it. He just followed Shanhu and continued walking forward.

During the period, they met several patrolling servants. When they learned that Miss Zhuang was going to the garden, they asked if she wanted to prepare tea and snacks.

Zhuang Qingning just wanted to see the flowers and didn't plan to stay too long, so he declined.

Those people continued their inspection, while Zhuang Qingning and Shanhu went all the way to the small garden that Shanhu mentioned.

It is indeed a very beautiful garden.

Various flowers, trees and green plants are planted and arranged in a very reasonable and scientific way, so that there are flowers almost all year round, and almost all common and even uncommon flowers are included.

At this time, there are tall osmanthus trees, large clusters of hydrangeas, fiery red hibiscus, soft hibiscus, bright camellia...

There are various kinds of flowers, and they are evenly distributed in layers according to the pavilions, waterside pavilions, bridges, flowing water, rockery and other structures in the garden.

It can be seen that someone has some ingenuity and the arrangement is quite clever.

Zhuang Qingning looked around and felt that the garden was indeed as Shanhu had described, with beautiful flowers blooming.

Except it has nothing to do with the word "small".

Especially the octagonal pavilion with only one corner left blocked by rockery. It can be seen that it is surrounded by various flowers, trees, rocks and flowing water. It is an excellent place to sit and watch the morning light and the sunset in the west and feel contented.

I think it would be great to enjoy the moon here.

"Let's go over there and take a look." Zhuang Qingning said.

"Yes." Shanhu held the lantern and led Zhuang Qingning to the octagonal pavilion.

When we walked around the rockery and got closer, we noticed that there seemed to be a figure in the octagonal pavilion.

"Who is here at this late hour?" Shanhu was a little surprised and raised the lantern. "Girl, wait a moment. I'll go and take a look."

Without giving Zhuang Qingning a chance to respond, the figure walked towards them.

As he got closer, he could see the person's face clearly.

"Young Master?"

"Lord Chu?"

Shan Hu and Zhuang Qingning looked at each other.

"Miss Zhuang?" Chu Jinnian was obviously also very surprised. He raised his eyebrows slightly, but then he laughed again. "I just thought that I was the only one who wanted to take a closer look at the beautiful moonlight. I never thought that Miss Zhuang was actually a fellow traveler."

Zhuang Qingning smiled and replied, "I slept too long in the afternoon, and I couldn't sleep now, so I took a walk in the yard. Shanhu mentioned that there was a garden with beautiful flowers in the garden, so I came to take a look."

"I never thought that I would meet Lord Chu."

"What a coincidence. I was also a little sleepless, and seeing the beautiful moonlight, I came out for a walk." Chu Jinnian said, "But it's getting late now, so I plan to go back first."

"Miss Zhuang, please make yourself at your own convenience."

"Shanhu, please take good care of Miss Zhuang."

"Yes." Coral nodded in response.

"Lord Chu, take care." Zhuang Qingning bowed to Chu Jinnian and watched him walk away. Then he walked into the pavilion and sat on the cushioned stone bench.

Looking up, there is a bright moon in the sky and the fragrance of flowers and grass is all around. The scene is truly beautiful.

Except, Coral's expression next to her looked a little strange.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Qingning asked.

"It's nothing." Shanhu scratched her ear. "I'm not a close servant, so I don't know much. I just heard others mention that the eldest master likes to read before going to bed. If he can't sleep, he will read until midnight."

"I've never heard of the eldest master going out for a walk because he couldn't sleep..."

Moreover, Chu Jinnian had just returned from the capital. He must have traveled day and night and was very tired. He should be extremely sleepy, so how could he not fall asleep? Shan Hu was curious, and Zhuang Qingning was also a little surprised.

However, whether to sleep or not was Chu Jinnian's business, and had nothing to do with the two of them, so she didn't think about it anymore and just looked at the flowers in the octagonal pavilion carefully.

However, the servants who were patrolling the garden earlier were extremely surprised when they saw Chu Jinnian.

They were still whispering even after Chu Jinnian walked away.

"Your eyesight is clear, right? Was that the eldest son just now?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I can see clearly that it is the eldest master, but... didn't you say that he had gone to bed? Why is he coming over from the garden now?"

"Yeah, it's really strange. He didn't even bring anyone with him. He was in a hurry, as if he was going to do something special."

"Now that you mention it, it does look like that. By the way, I seemed to have seen Miss Zhuang just now, heading in the direction of the small garden? Could it be that the eldest master went to see Miss Zhuang specifically?"

"What are you talking about? Aren't you afraid that Uncle Feng will scold you for gossiping? Don't tell jokes like this casually."

"That's right, it concerns Miss Zhuang's reputation. If it gets out, how can Miss Zhuang get married? I dare not say that again. Besides, if the eldest master really wanted to see Miss Zhuang, would he have turned back in such a hurry? It's obvious that the eldest master couldn't sleep and was wandering in the small garden. When he met Miss Zhuang, he felt it was inconvenient and hurried back."

"But what if the eldest master wanted to meet her by chance, but was afraid that Miss Zhuang would be disgusted, so he didn't dare to stay too long? Anyway, as long as Miss Zhuang feels that there is a destiny, that's fine, there is still a lot of time in the future, right?"

"The more you talk, the more you say it. How can you say it so casually..."

"But I think he has some truth in what he said."

"If you put it that way, I do think it's possible. When Miss Zhuang was rescued and unconscious, the worry on the eldest master's face was something I've only seen when the third master was in trouble. And, don't you think the light in the eldest master's eyes was bright when he looked at Miss Zhuang?"

“…”

Didn’t you agree not to say anything casually?

As it turns out, you are even more enthusiastic than both of them!

It turns out that there is no basic trust between people.

The other two servants curled their lips and said no more. Instead, they strode away with their lanterns in hand.

The remaining one who had been talking incessantly for a while finally realized that he was talking to himself, so he quickly stopped talking and went to chase the two people.

Although the moonlight is beautiful, the night is as cold as water.

Especially since there was running water running through the garden, the gurgling water made people feel even colder. Even though Zhuang Qingning was quite interested in watching the night view under the moon, he decided to go back early.

It would also allow the coral to go back and rest earlier.

After returning to the house, washing up and lying down, Zhuang Qingning blinked at the dim light of the lantern in the corner, while counting sheep out of boredom.
