When Shang Qing'an heard the voice, the corners of his mouth drooped. He slowly turned around and saw the man who came up and hacked him without saying a word yesterday.
Shang Qingan said coldly: "What's the matter?"
The gray-clothed man was not displeased by Shang Qingan's attitude. Instead, he clasped his hands together and said apologetically, "My dear brother, I wrongly blamed you yesterday. I came here to apologize."
Shang Qingan felt a little embarrassed to be angry when he saw his attitude. He coughed and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. There's no need to say more. I don't care."
The man in gray nodded slightly. He took a step forward. This sudden step made Shang Qingan take a step back. "What are you going to do?"
Seeing Shang Qingan like this, the man in gray couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, brother. I was reckless yesterday. I just wanted to ask you your name."
Shang Qing'an felt relieved when he heard this. He didn't want to fight with this man anymore. His deadly sword skills made him very scared.
If he hadn't been following his father recently and hadn't been trained a lot by his father, he would have died at the hands of this man yesterday.
"Shang Qingan."
What Shang Qingan didn't notice was that when the man opposite heard his name, a glimmer flashed in his eyes, but it quickly dimmed. "Brother Shang~"
Shang Qingan also asked: "Brother, what is your name?"
Man in gray: "Yan Feiqiao."
Shang Qing'an felt the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
This made Yan Feiqiao, who was looking at him with expectation, look even more dim.
Shang Yangyang, who had been watching the two of them from the side, saw it all very clearly. She saw Yan Feiqiao's excitement when she heard her elder brother's name, and her sadness when her elder brother didn't react at all when he heard his name.
Shang Yangyang looked up and down at the person in front of her in confusion. After careful observation, she discovered the problem.
Shang Yangyang covered her mouth and laughed secretly. [Shame on me, this won’t be my future second sister-in-law.]
Shang Qing'an heard Shang Yangyang's thoughts. He turned around in surprise, looked at Shang Yangyang with confusion, and frowned.
After hearing Shang Yangyang's thoughts, Shang Qing'an looked carefully at Yan Feiqiao in front of him.
When he saw the ear hole on Yan Feiqiao's ear, he inadvertently took a step back and missed a step on the stone steps. If Yan Feiqiao in front of him had not been quick to support Shang Qingan, he would have fallen to the ground.
After Shang Qing'an steadied himself, he shook off Yan Feiqiao's hand as if he was throwing away a hot potato, grabbed Shang Yangyang and ran into the government office.
[Hey, brother, why do I feel like I'm being chased by a dog? ]
Shang Qing'an felt very bitter when he heard this. He had a psychological trauma from the incident yesterday when he was hacked. He couldn't accept that this person became his wife. From then on, he would be chased by people with swords every day.
Yan Feiqiao stood there in a daze as she looked at Shang Qingan's back, and followed him in without thinking much.
Unexpectedly, Shang Qingan avoided her in the government office as if he were the plague god. After Shang Qingan made sure that all the bandits yesterday had been caught and cooperated in the record, he took Shang Yangyang and ran away from the government office without hesitation.
Shang Yangyang kept stealing glances at Shang Qingan along the way. [Wa Qu, my second brother wouldn't fall in love with Yan Feiqiao at first sight, because he didn't know that Yan Feiqiao was a girl. Like my second uncle, he thought he liked boys, so he avoided her like this, right?]
Shang Yangyang imagined a big drama in her mind, and she was looking forward to the sparks that would be created between her second brother and Yan Feiqiao more and more.
But after hearing Shang Yangyang's thoughts, Shang Qing'an felt so miserable. How could he explain to Shang Yangyang that it was not love at first sight, but he had psychological trauma.
Yan Feiqiao stood in front of the government office, looking in the direction where Shang Qingan was no longer there, with a gloomy look in her eyes: "Second brother really forgot about me, but that's fine.
I have some important matters to attend to when I return to Beijing. If I have time, I will go find my second brother before returning to Guanggu City."
Yan Feiqiao did not stay and turned and walked away.
At the Marquis' Mansion, Duke Shang saw Shang Qing'an hurriedly pulling Shang Yangyang back to the mansion.
Duke Shang poked his head out and looked outside. "Is there someone in Qing'an pursuing you and Yangyang?"
"No."
Duke Shang stroked his beard, smiled and looked at Shang Qing'an, looking him up and down. "You are not being chased by someone, but are you running away because you feel guilty about your debt of love?"
“……” Shang Qingan stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Shang Yangyang nodded vigorously to Shang Guogong. "Grandfather, Grandfather, let me tell you..."
Shang Qingan reached out his big hand and covered Shang Yangyang's mouth tightly.
"Woo woo~"
Shang Yangyang was covered with her mouth and couldn't say a word, but this didn't stop her from complaining in her heart. [Stinky Second Brother must think that he likes a man, she is afraid that I will expose him, but that person is obviously my sister, and she seems to know Second Brother. ]
Shang Qing'an then remembered that Shang Yangyang could tell him everything without opening her mouth.
"Ah~" Shang Qing'an sighed and stopped covering Shang Yangyang's hand. He looked at Shang Guogong again. "Grandfather is not what you think."
Duke Shang smiled and nodded, although he didn't know what was going on with Shang Qing'an.
But he was certain that with Yangyang's thoughts in mind, he could tell that the person Yangyang was talking about was a woman.
Shang Yangyang pulled Shang Guogong and the other man inside, and listened to Shang Yangyang telling Shang Guogong what happened in front of the government office today.
Lin Siqing, who was selecting fabrics for clothes with the Duke's wife in the front hall, also heard this and turned back excitedly to ask, "Yangyang, what did you say that person's name was?"
"Mother, that sister's name is Yan Feiqiao."
When Lin Siqing heard the name, she turned and smiled at Shang Qingan who was standing beside her. "Qingan, didn't you recognize Feiqiao?"
Shang Qingan's face was full of surprise. "Mom, do you know her?"
Lin Siqing smiled and nodded. "You should think about this yourself and don't let anyone down."
"Ah?" Shang Qing'an was even more confused. He couldn't understand why his mother said this.
Lin Siqing just smiled and didn't say anything.
Shang Yangyang blinked her eyes and stared at her mother. She sneaked to Lin Siqing's side and whispered, "Mom, please tell me. I won't tell my second brother."
Lin Siqing pinched Shang Yangyang's nose. "When the time comes, mother will tell you."
"Mother~"
Lin Siqing firmly did not say anything no matter how Shang Yangyang acted coquettishly, because Yangyang's inner voice was a big sieve.
"Alas~"
Shang Yangyang finally sighed, put her hands behind her back and went back to her yard to take a nap.
Shang Qing'an was as curious as her. Because of his mother's mysterious words, he thought about it for a long time.
Three days later, officials were kneeling in the main hall of the imperial palace, while Emperor Yuan Ming looked at the book in his hand with a frown.
