Chapter 104: Princess Ji Shian

As expected, Dai Yun complained in his heart.

Ji Qiubai frowned and turned around, glared at Leshan, and said in a deep voice:

"Shut up. Go to the side hall and find out the identity of the woman just now. Listen to Dai Yun on this matter."

After saying this, he seemed to have thought of something, his expression turned from gloomy to bright, and his sadness and anger turned into shyness.

She reached out and grabbed a black peony in her hand, lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of the flower to hide her slightly red cheeks, and said softly:

"Remember not to be discovered by her."

Le Shan was yelled at and shrank his neck in fear. He quickly replied "yes" and turned around to inquire.

Ji Qiubai stood there for a while, and after pulling out a patch of black peony, he slowly returned to the inner courtyard with the other three attendants.

Not long after he left.

Same location.

A young woman in a purple robe with a gentle and soft appearance glanced at the flowers that were originally in full bloom, suppressed her anger and closed her eyes, gnashing her teeth and saying:

"Who did this? How did my Mo Mudan become like this?"

Behind.

The gardener, who had been following the girl since she entered the garden, turned pale with fear and answered cautiously:

"My Lady, this was done by the young master. It has nothing to do with us servants. You know the young master's temper. We dare not step forward to stop him!"

Hearing that it was his own good brother who did it, Ji Shian snorted without any surprise, and waved his hands in an annoyed tone:

"Okay, then replace all the black peonies with marigolds. It's a stinky patch. I wonder how he will be able to pull it off in the future."

After hearing this, the gardener pursed his lips and agreed:

"Yes, I will plant it tomorrow."

Let’s not talk about this little episode for now.

The other side.

Su Yuan returned to the banquet and sat for a while.

Perhaps King Nanyou realized that it was getting late, so he waved his hand, said a few polite words with a smile, and then announced the end of the banquet and asked everyone to leave.

The next day.

A streak of crimson sunset shines on Dongmu Mountain, and the clouds, under the reflection of the sunset glow, appear as bright red as flames.

In a remote corner at the foot of the mountain, there was a carriage made entirely of golden nanmu wood, and its windows inlaid with gold and gems were covered by a curtain of light blue gauze.

Suddenly, a pair of slender hands lifted the window screen, and then a pair of eyes full of inquiry, as clear as glass beads, appeared from the car.

Ji Qiubai raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at the road down the mountain curiously, and asked behind him without turning his head:

"Daiyun, are you sure, ahem, Su Yuan will finish school at 12:00?"

Dai Yun also came over and took a look outside. After a moment, his eyes lit up, and he shook Ji Qiubai lightly, saying excitedly:

"Sir, look, Miss Su is coming down."

Ji Qiubai blinked a few times when he heard that, and looked in the direction his finger was pointing.

Only on the narrow road.

A young woman in a lavender wide-sleeved robe was walking slowly down the mountain. Her robe fluttered as she walked, exuding a pure and elegant temperament that made people feel ashamed and dare not disrespect her.

When Ji Qiubai saw this, his eyebrows moved slightly. He pushed Dai Yun beside him away, lifted the curtain, hurriedly got off the carriage, and quickly walked towards the road that Su Yuan must take.

After a moment.

Su Yuan looked at the man standing in the middle of the road, his eyebrows slightly raised, he glanced at him lightly, then walked around him and continued walking towards his carriage.

Her face remained expressionless.

I sighed in my heart.

Is Ji Qiubai standing here looking for her?

But didn’t she deny it yesterday?

Besides, in order to avoid being noticed, she had deliberately covered most of her face. How could she still be recognized?

It shouldn't be like this!

Su Yuan had a lot of thoughts in her mind and kept walking, but before she could successfully cross the barrier, someone grabbed her sleeve again.

opposite.

Ji Qiubai raised his head, looked at her pitifully, and whispered:

"I know your name is Su Yuan, can you please stop hiding from me? I, I am..."

Ji Qiubai's voice became lower and lower, and the words he was about to say were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

After a while.

He looked at Su Yuan shyly, bit his lips lightly, and stammered:

"I, I just want to see you."

Su Yuan frowned after hearing this, brushed his hand away, pursed her lips and said softly:

"Sir, we are not familiar with each other. Besides, let's not talk about whether I am the person you mentioned or not. As a young master of a wealthy family, if we meet in private and are seen by others, I am afraid it will be bad for our reputation."

Ji Qiubai looked around after hearing this, pointed at Le Shan and Dai Yun behind him, and said casually:

"It's not a private meeting. It's in broad daylight with servants around. Besides, I never care about reputation. It doesn't matter."

Seeing that he didn't understand what he meant, Su Yuan sighed helplessly and lowered his voice:

"Sir, please stop pestering me. I have no interest in you. Go home quickly!"

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Ji Qiubai, walked around the crowd and quickly walked towards the carriage.

Ji Qiubai was left standing there with a pale face, sobbing and being helped into the carriage by the servants.

It only took a few words for the two of them to meet and separate, but they didn't know that the whole scene was seen by two women standing halfway up the mountain.

In the carriage.

Ji Qiubai angrily threw away the tear-stained handkerchief, his shoulders twitching, and he said in a trembling voice:

"What should I do? She said she doesn't like me, wuwuwu."

Dai Yun picked up the handkerchief from the carpet, glanced at Ji Qiubai, pursed his lips, and said tentatively:

"Sir, there is something I am not sure whether I should say or not."

Ji Qiubai glanced at him casually and frowned when he heard this:

"What? Go ahead."

Dai Yun sighed, hardened his heart, and said:

"Young Master, you have been thinking about Miss Su for so long, but she probably didn't take you seriously and just thought she saved someone. Now she is indifferent to you. Doesn't it show that she has good character, doesn't seek favors for herself, and isn't fickle?"

"Besides, feelings are cultivated. She may not like you now, but who knows what will happen in the future. If you expect Miss Su to marry you as soon as she meets you, it's a bit... unrealistic."

Ji Qiubai paused wiping his tears with his sleeves, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he nodded:

"Yes, Su Yuan doesn't like me in the first place. I'm afraid it won't work if I come to her so rashly."

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and looked at Leshan beside him, asking:

"Leshan, have you figured out everything I asked you to find out this morning? Tell me about it."

When Le Shan heard that the young master had finally asked about him, he leaned forward and said with a curved lip:

"I have inquired clearly. Miss Su has two husbands. The first husband is now in Tongcheng to take care of the baby, and the second husband came to Jiangzhou. The Su residence is in the East Lane, not far from our Nanyou Palace."
