The two unexpectedly came face to face and were both taken aback.
Xie Jingrun realized what was happening, glanced at her, his narrow eyes narrowed, somewhat surprised.
What happened to this woman here?
He stepped down the steps.
Rong Qingqing's first reaction upon seeing him was to try to slip away.
But before she could take any action, Xie Jingrun had already stepped down the ladder.
You came to see me?
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing had no choice but to turn around and face him.
He was already tall, but now that he was standing on the last step, he was even taller.
She had to tilt her head back to see him.
"No, I was just passing by." Rong Qingqing refused to admit that she came to find him. Besides, she wasn't lying. It was Feng Xin who came to find him. She was just dragged along to keep him company. In the end, that girl was disloyal and abandoned her and ran away.
Xie Jingrun looked down at her. "I remember your shop is in another direction. You shouldn't need to pass by here unless you deliberately take a detour."
Rong Qingqing frowned. Her tone seemed to have another meaning. Did he think that she had gone to such lengths to see him?
Thinking of this, she quickly explained, "My lord, you misunderstand. I really didn't take a detour, nor did I come here specifically to see you."
Xie Jingrun gave her a deep look, then suddenly said, "No need to thank me for what happened last night."
Rong Qingqing looked at him, completely bewildered.
Why is she getting more and more confused?
Why should she thank him?
Seeing her bewildered expression, Xie Jingrun's lips curled into a slight smile.
This woman is really good at pretending.
He decided against exposing her.
"You've already seen the person. I have other things to do, so you should go back now," he said calmly.
"Oh." Rong Qingqing took two steps, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. What did she mean by saying that she had already seen the person?
She didn't come to see him, she's just being delusional!
She felt it necessary to clarify, so she turned around and said, "My lord..."
"I'll be going back for lunch, you can go back now." Xie Jingrun had already mounted the horse brought by the Imperial Guards. He glanced at her indifferently, then pulled on the reins and turned to leave.
Rong Qingqing: "..."
Watching the man walk away, she was speechless with frustration.
Why did Xie Jingrun speak in a tone as if he were instructing his wife?
Is there something wrong with her ears, causing her to misunderstand, or is there something wrong with Xie Jingrun's way of speaking?
She stood with her hands on her hips, looking utterly bewildered.
After leaving Rong Qingqing behind, Feng Xin went straight back to the palace.
She was on her way back to her palace when she encountered Feng Mo.
"Royal brother," she greeted listlessly.
Feng Mo stopped and looked her over, then frowned and said, "You went out of the palace to find Xie Jingrun again?"
"Don't even mention it, I didn't see Brother Jingrun." Feng Xin simply sat down on the stone bench next to her, propped her chin on her hand, and said somewhat dejectedly.
"What's wrong?" Feng Mo asked, seeing his sister looking weak and listless.
Although he didn't like his sister always going to Xie Jingrun, she was his only sister and he couldn't bear to be too harsh on her.
"I hurt my forehead, and I don't want Brother Jingrun to see me looking ugly," Feng Xin said, lifting her bangs and pouting.
Feng Mo knew that his younger sister had hit her head. Upon hearing this, he checked her over and found that the injury was not too bad, not as terrible as she had described. He couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time.
"It's just a minor injury."
"That won't do either, it's too ugly, I don't want Brother Jingrun to see it." Feng Xin said, her eyes darting around, "Brother, do you know who I ran into?"
