Chapter 48 Mr. Fu's Fiancee
Late at night, Xie Zao Zao quietly got up and walked towards Fu Yanzhi's room.
The system asked sleepily: "What are you doing? Going on a night raid?"
Someone wants to attack you during the day, but you refuse, and now they come to you in the middle of the night. What's going on?
Xie Zao Zao sneered: "Don't you see the problem?"
System: "...What's the problem?"
Mr. Fu is having trouble holding back during the day? Does he need your cabbage to save him?
Xie Zao Zao said calmly, "I clearly discovered that the medicine was in the tea a long time ago, and I even poured it out. How do you think he got infected?"
The system immediately reacted: "Yes, you clearly fell into the water lily pond, how did he get caught again?"
"When I went in, the door was sealed. It was impossible for Bitao to get in, and there was no other food in the room."
"Either the water lily has a secret unknown to us, or—"
"What?"
"Mr. Fu is using the excuse of being drugged to behave like a hooligan."
The system thought it was impossible. If someone like Fu Yanzhi could act like a gangster, then Young Master Lin could sleep in all the brothels in one night.
As he was speaking, Xie Zao Zao had already slipped into Fu Yanzhi's bedroom.
After the study collapsed during the day, Shuyue moved the things to another suite. Inside was Fu Yanzhi's bedroom, and outside was still the study. The water lily was placed in the corner of the study.
Xie Zao Zao tiptoed to the edge of the water lily pond and lowered his head to examine it carefully.
The water in the pond was clear, with two small fish swimming nimbly. Spiritual energy floated on the water surface, with golden light flashing occasionally, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Only a water lily was floating there, but it looked a little wilted.
Xie Zaozao gently touched the petals, then suddenly withdrew her hand and turned to look inside.
The system asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"I once heard of a secret method. The reason why mortals practice at different speeds is because of their emotions. Joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, and foolishness all hinder their progress in practice. So someone came up with a method."
"It means forcing out your emotions and desires, and then parasitizing them on plants. Then you can be free from sadness and joy and focus on cultivation."
Xie Zao Zao narrowed her eyes and looked at the water lily on the water surface: "I suspect that Fu Yanzhi forced out his seven emotions and six desires and placed them in this water lily. This water lily is equivalent to his clone. If he is injured or poisoned, this water lily will also sense it."
"That's actually the case!" the system exclaimed in surprise. "What will happen to people if this water lily withers?"
Xie Zaozao: "I don't know. I've only heard half of this legend."
“…”
"I was lying on the eaves of the house, waiting to kill my enemy's third concubine. She was telling this story to someone, and when she was about to tell the story, she revealed a flaw, so I killed her before she could finish it."
system:……
"But I should be able to research it."
Xie Zao Zao thought about it and gently touched the water lily. The water lily shook and a petal fell off.
At the same time, Fu Yanzhi, who was sleeping in the room, quietly opened his eyes in the darkness.
Those eyes were no longer cold and calm, but contained a hint of anger.
Xie Zaozao didn't expect that the petals would fall off after she touched them. It would be bad if someone found out, so she reached out to pick up the petals and turned to leave.
But I found that I couldn't leave.
Fu Yanzhi didn't know when he stood in front of her and stretched out his hand.
Xie Zaozao subconsciously stuffed the petals into her sleeves and was about to speak when Fu Yanzhi moved.
She was pushed back repeatedly by the people approaching from behind, and finally stopped when her back touched the wall.
The whole person was squeezed into the small space and could hardly move.
Fu Yanzhi's voice, which sounded cold but actually concealed anger, came from above: "What are you doing?"
Xie Zao Zao started to talk nonsense: "Change the water for the fish."
"Where's the water?"
"I've finished changing."
"Have you finished changing?" In the darkness, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, and his originally cold and detached temperament like a glacier suddenly became oppressive.
He reached out and pinched Xie Zaozao's chin, forcing her to look up: "Where's the changed water?"
Xie Zaozao: “It fell.”
"Then what are you doing back here?"
"I've changed the water and now I'm feeding the fish."
Fu Yanzhi's eyes fell on the lotus petals, and a hint of irony appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You sneaked into my room in the middle of the night just to change the water to feed the fish?"
Xie Zao Zao asked back: "What else?"
Fu Yanzhi stopped talking.
If it were another woman, he could still imagine what the other party was up to, but who was Xie Zaozao? He wanted to kiss her during the day, but she tore down the house.
Doesn’t she like the other party to take the initiative and prefer to do it herself?
In the end, Fu Yanzhi didn't say anything, nor did he let go. He just looked down at Xie Zaozao.
"Do you know that you are suspicious?"
Xie Zao Zao nodded, then shook his head.
"What does it mean to nod and shake your head?"
"I know you think I'm suspicious, but I don't know what's suspicious about me."
"You possess extraordinary skills, have a spirit child, and are so beautiful, yet you only want to be a maid in my courtyard... Isn't this suspicious?"
Xie stopped talking early. She thought Fu Yanzhi might be a chatterbox before he forced out all his emotions, and she was the one who touched the petal that made him less talkative.
So now he started chatting with himself, and he seemed to be inclined to get to the bottom of every problem.
But now she was too embarrassed to destroy Fu Yanzhi's second house. If she continued to fight, sooner or later Fu Yanzhi would move into her house. She could only endure it in secret.
"I don't want to be a mystic."
"Why? No matter where they are, mystic masters always attract everyone's attention..."
Fu Yanzhi lifted a strand of hair from Xie Zaozao's temple with his slender fingers and gently twirled it in circles.
"Because I'm timid," Xie Zao Zao said, "I'm afraid of ghosts."
Fu Yanzhi's hands froze and he couldn't utter a word.
Are you a coward? You're a coward. During the assessment, you defeated a whole yard of demons and even captured a mount. You're a coward. When Song Qiaoyue tried to drown you, you didn't run away, but instead pushed her into the water and stripped her naked. You're a coward. You fought two guards at once—
If you are a coward, tear down my house!
Before Fu Yanzhi could say anything, Xie Zaozao counterattacked: "Sir, you have finished asking questions, it's my turn to ask."
Fu Yanzhi: "You ask."
Xie Zaozao: "What's the origin of this water lily of yours?"
Fu Yanzhi paused and said, "For viewing."
Xie Zaozao: "You treasure it so much just for watching it?"
"What is beloved is a natural treasure."
Neither of them spoke, and they looked at each other. They both knew that the other was talking nonsense, but the other was so calm that they couldn't find any flaws.
In the end, Xie Zaozao managed to run back safely.
Because if the two of them continued to look at it, it would be dawn.
When she returned to the room, Xie Zao Zao realized that she had brought back the fallen petal.
The system was worried: "How did you get this back?"
Xie Zao Zao said, "It's okay, I'll put it back to him later."
Taking advantage of the time to deliver breakfast, Xie Zao Zao entered Fu Yanzhi's room again, but this time, he did not see water lilies in the corner of the room.
Xie Zaozao was looking around the house for water lilies when Baili Danning came in with a small lunch box.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Xie Zaozao looking around, and I felt that she was not a quiet maid.
"What are you doing?"
