An Ci returned the same way and asked a random guard at the gate, "Who was that man in a suit who just came out?"
The guard was visibly taken aback by the sudden question. A man in a suit?
After a few seconds, the guard showed a look of surprise, "Young Master, you are talking about Master Jianwen's father, right?"
What?
That hypocritical man is An Jianwen's father?
An Ci opened his eyes wide, and the image of the two of them cuddling in the bamboo forest just now flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel surprised.
An Jianwen's father cheated on his wife with Ah Xiu?
Recalling the conversation between the two just now, An Ci felt as if he had been enlightened, and the mystery in his heart gradually became clear.
Therefore, A Xiu was just an accomplice, and the person who really wanted to get rid of her was An Jianwen's father.
An Ci scratched his head, rolled his eyes, looked back at the bushes, and said loudly, "Fugui, come here."
Hearing the call, Fugui jumped out of the grass and ran while shouting.
"ah."
I'm here too.
The man and the beast walked into the castle unhindered and asked the servant which room An Jianwen was in. An Ci took Fugui upstairs.
"The second one on the left."
An Ci stopped, looked at the closed door, raised his hand and knocked.
“Dongdongdong——”
Soon, the person inside opened the door.
"Xiao Ci, why are you here?" An Jianwen looked at her in surprise.
An Ci noticed his slightly red eyes and tactfully didn't ask any more questions. She grinned and said, "You didn't go to the vegetable garden, so I came to find you."
"Can I come in?"
The smile on the child's face was clean and pure, and An Jianwen's mood improved a little.
"Come in." He opened the door.
An Ci walked in. An Jianwen looked at Fugui who was following behind her. The little one held his head high and chest out, looking quite proud.
He couldn't help but laugh, "Your cat is quite cute."
Another one who mistook a tiger for a cat.
An Ci burst out laughing, and before An Jianwen understood what she was laughing at, the "cat" he was talking about suddenly bared its fangs and claws at him.
"ah."
Seeing that Fugui was about to pounce on An Jianwen in the next second, An Ci quickly spoke to stop him: "Fugui, you can't do this."
Fugui retracted his claws, ran back to An Ci aggrievedly, and rubbed his head against her legs.
I feel so wronged.
An Jianwen realized it belatedly and looked at Fugui with surprise, "It, it is..."
Seeing that he had already seen through it, An Ci smiled and nodded.
An Jianwen took a breath. She actually dared to keep a tiger by her side.
He is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
An Ci glanced at his room and changed the subject, "Didn't you say yesterday that you would give me a medicine bag?"
"Wait." An Jianwen walked quickly to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out four or five medicine bags.
"Xiao Ci, take a look and pick whichever one you like."
An Ci walked over and looked at the exquisite medicine bags on the table, which were embroidered with different flowers and plants. She picked up one at random and put it down to smell.
There is no heart-breaking smell.
She lowered her head and smelled the other medicine bags on the table, but there was no smell of Heart-Breaking Powder.
An Jianwen stood aside, watching her lying on the table, thinking she was looking at the patterns on the medicine package. "Take whichever one you like. You're welcome."
An Ci turned to look at him, "Can you have either one?"
An Jianwen nodded.
"Then I want the one that fell out of your coat yesterday." An Ci's eyes were bright, and his tone was full of anticipation. "Is it okay?"
Unexpectedly, she wanted the ones he had used. An Jianwen asked in confusion, "Why? Don't you like these?"
An Ci shook his head, "These patterns are not pretty."
An Jianwen smiled helplessly, took out the medicine bag from his pocket and handed it to her, "Here."
An Ci reached out to take the medicine bag and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Wen."
Then she took out a candy from her pocket and put it in his hand, "This is a thank you gift."
An Jianwen looked down at the candy in his hand and smiled faintly.
Since An Jianwen had to go to class later, An Ci took Fugui back first.
In the room, An Ci played with the medicine bag in her hand, then looked at the sachet that A Xiu made for her, looking thoughtful.
Among so many medicine bags An Jianwen had, only the one he carried with him contained the Heart-Breaking Powder. This was really strange. Could it be that Ah Xiu had also tampered with this medicine bag?
The more An Ci thought about it, the more possible it seemed. After all, Ah Xiu wanted An Jianwen's father to marry her, so it was understandable that she wanted to get rid of An Jianwen. After all, no one wanted to be someone's stepmother right away.
She touched her chin, a playful smile on her lips.
You want to harm her, right? Then send her to see the King of Hell first.
An Ci put the medicine bag on the bedside table, jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and ran out of the room.
When I went downstairs, Aunt Hong was not there.
An Ci slipped into the kitchen and opened the bottom cupboard, where various Chinese medicinal herbs were placed in rows and rows.
She took a quick look and without hesitation grabbed a few herbs and stuffed them into her pocket. She closed the cabinet door, picked up the pestle in the corner, and ran back upstairs.
Being small and weak, An Ci was panting like a dog when he returned to the room with the pestle.
She closed the door and called Fugui to guard the door.
"Fugui, if Auntie Hong comes, just call her to remind me. If you behave well, I'll give you barbecue tonight."
Fu Guicuang nodded his head and lay motionless behind the door, looking like he was standing guard.
Seeing this, An Ci sat down on the ground with the pestle in his arms and felt relieved. He took out the herbs from his pocket and threw them all into the pestle barrel, smashing and grinding them with a "bang".
…
The other side.
Aunt Hong came back from outside and asked the servant. She was surprised to learn that An Ci had stayed in his room in the afternoon and had not gone out.
The young master has been running out every day recently and can't stay in the room for a moment. Why is he acting so abnormally today?
Aunt Hong felt inexplicably uneasy and hurried upstairs.
