Mojing, the city that never sleeps
Seeing them, the girl was also stunned: "Master Yang, has Miss Ding agreed to help?"
Yang Pu nodded slightly: "Well, we are just about to go to the front hall."
He turned his wrist and pulled his arm out. After making sure that Ding Can could stand steadily, he stepped forward and took the large bunch of flowers from the girl's hand.
It has just been trimmed and you can still see a hint of dew on it.
"Xiaoying, I'll take it, you go and help her over."
Ding Can secretly curled his lips. He finally met someone else, and he was afraid that if he stayed in contact with him for more than a second, it would be a bit too much of a man's ethics.
"Okay." The girl handed all the flowers over. She first patted the clothes she was wearing to get rid of the dust that might have fallen on her body when she was cutting flowers just now, and then she moved closer to Ding Can and held her entire arm.
In this way, most of the weight of his body can be placed on her. Ding Can breathed a sigh of relief. Now he didn't have to exert as much strength as before.
Yang Pu went ahead and had already walked several steps into the distance.
But when Ding Can thought about the name Xiaoying, he realized that she was the one who had gone missing from Yuanwai Mansion, the one who was in charge of taking care of the flowers and plants.
Judging from the way they communicated just now, she could actually get along so well with Yang Pu, the man who kidnapped her.
Xiaoying continued to talk to herself: "I just cut some new branches in the yard, and I thought I'd replace the vases in everyone's room. I've already cleaned up your room in advance."
She pushed forward, but found that the people around her did not move forward in coordination, so she turned her head and said, "Miss Ding, why don't you move?"
Ding Can uttered an "oh" before following her steps and speaking in a low voice, "I'm just a little surprised. Aren't you afraid of Yang Pu? Have you ever thought of running away?"
Looking at the situation in the yard, there is no one guarding it, which means they are completely free. This can also be seen from Xiaoying's behavior of trimming the flowers and plants.
Xiaoying smiled and said, "Young Master Yang is thinking about the people. He is not a bad person. It's just that his behavior is difficult for ordinary people to understand."
"He treats us very well. The young lady said that we must not hinder Young Master Yang's investigation."
Ding Can asked in surprise, "Miss Shu Tang, will you also allow him to deal with her father?"
After all, from an ethical point of view, although Zhang Gusheng did something wrong, Yang Pu was still an outsider after all, and it was difficult for him to make this decision easily.
Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "Young lady, you know what's important. But sometimes, I see a very sad look on your face. I think you're in a dilemma."
Her expression grew increasingly dejected as she glanced at Yang Pu's back, "It's just that she never seemed to reveal anything in front of Young Master Yang, and she never let us tell him either."
Ding Can thought of something: "Are they in a relationship of mutual admiration?"
"It's a bit complicated," Xiaoying seemed to find it difficult to explain the relationship between the two. "Young lady and Mr. Yang have never expressed their feelings. Perhaps it's because they have their own ties."
She tutted her tongue: "Anyway, I just don't understand it."
I usually only like flowers and plants. When I stay with these bright and beautiful things, my mood will become better.
Love and romance are not something she would consider at all now, so she would inevitably find it a bit boring.
Although Ding Can hadn't witnessed the actual scene, he had a general understanding of the situation. He simply followed Xiaoying's meaning and said, "I don't really understand it either."
As she walked, the effect of the anesthetic had weakened a little, and her pace was faster than before. After Yang Pu, she arrived at the front hall.
Yang Pu arrived early and had already placed a large bunch of flowers on the round table in the middle. Two women were gathered around the table, sorting flowers of the same type together.
There were only two women in the room. The one with a pale and haggard face should be Zhang Shutang.
She looked just as he had imagined. After hearing Xiao Zhi's description earlier, he knew that she must be such a gentle person.
But judging from the fact that he helped Xiao Zhi's father quit taking Furong tablets, this person is quite decisive and not a weak person.
When Ding Can thought about this, he became even more curious about Zhang Shutang's psychological activities.
Although Xiao Zhi was her personal maid, she had just been transferred there not long ago and they had only spent a short time together, so there was no special emotional foundation between them.
But even in this situation, after hearing about Xiaozhi's experience, she was still willing to help with all her heart.
Ding Can always felt that what Zhang Shutang cared about was not Xiao Zhi, but that Furongpian was indeed unscrupulous and had caused great harm to others.
So how did she feel when she was brought here by Yang Pu and learned that her father was the culprit of everything?
Although his face was calm at this moment, perhaps he actually had thousands of thoughts in his mind that he did not show to others.
As for the person staying with her, Ding Can was not sure whether it was Lan Yao or Jin Ran.
Yang Pu was the first to introduce them: "This is Miss Zhang and Jin Ran. Lan Yao is preparing food in the kitchen."
Zhang Shutang's eyebrows relaxed softly: "Miss Ding, come and arrange flowers with us. It can calm your mind and is a nice leisure activity."
Her big watery eyes were full of charm, and there seemed to be a hint of melancholy in the depths of her eyes.
I'm not in the mood to arrange flowers at this time.
Ding Can wanted to refuse, but Xiaoying was supporting her and she was directly sent to the bench beside the table, so she had to sit down.
Then Zhang Shutang stuffed a few crabapple-colored branches into her hands. They were bright and juicy. Perhaps it was still chilly in the early morning, and a slight coolness was transmitted from the branches to her fingertips.
She bent down and smelled it. She didn't know what kind of flower it was, but the fragrance it emitted was extremely pleasant.
Holding the flower branch, she began to speak, "Miss Shu Tang, if you expose your father's crimes, do you know all the possible punishments he might face?"
This is the premise for all actions. If you want everything to go smoothly, Zhang Shutang's thoughts are very important.
She was brought here by Yang Pu and had already joined the game. If she changed her mind halfway, it would be a big hidden danger.
After all, Yang Pu is currently in the dark, and Zhang Gusheng still doesn't know of his existence.
If Zhang Gusheng found out that his daughter had contributed to his downfall, how would she feel?
Zhang Shutang paused as he gripped the scissors. "Don't worry, Miss Ding. Since I'm willing to live here peacefully, I've already made up my mind. My father can't make the same mistake over and over again. Now is the time to save him."
It is inevitable that reason and emotion will pull at each other, and she has already decided which side she will lean towards in the end.
As for these words, they do make sense on some levels. Allowing Zhang Gusheng to continue making such mistakes would be aiding and abetting evil.
Zhang Shutang did this in the hope of pulling his father back from the brink of death, and it was truly for Zhang Gusheng's own good.
Ding Can suppressed his smirk and said, "It is a blessing for the people of Mojing that Miss Shu Tang has such an idea."
In the following time, Xiaoying brought over a few vases from the side, and the few of them started to arrange flowers.
As for Yang Pu, he was sitting at another table, drinking tea slowly.
Not long after, Lan Yao, who was not around, brought up some snacks, and everyone enjoyed the snacks in a very friendly manner.
Ding Can thought of the incident at Zhaoxia Tower. Xiao Zhi seemed to be hiding something when they were at Yuanwai Mansion and refused to tell him everything that happened in the private room.
Now that she is right in front of me, it would be nice to just ask her directly instead of guessing.
She took another sip of hot tea and said, "Ms. Shu Tang, I have something I want to talk to you about privately. Is that convenient?"
"sure."
Jinran stood up with a look of understanding: "It just so happens that this is almost done, Xiaoying, let's take the vase to everyone's room together."
"Okay." The two of them left quickly with the bouquet of flowers.
Yang Pu, on the other hand, sat firmly where he was, showing no intention of leaving.
Ding Can raised his eyes to look at Zhang Shutang, who spoke first: "Young Master Yang, there is no need to avoid him. I know what you want to ask. It is about Zhaoxia Tower."
"So you went to Zhaoxia Tower not just to listen to music?"
Zhang Shutang revealed the truth: "I discovered what my father did even earlier."
Although Zhang Gusheng is usually cautious and deliberately hides things from people around him, he will always be exposed.
As for Zhang Shutang, he had often stayed in Fangfei Garden since he was a child and had little contact with people outside, until one day, he heard about Hibiscus slices from the mouth of a servant at home.
At first, she thought it was some new trendy pastry in town.
After others explained it to him, Zhang Shutang finally realized that this was something that poisoned the body and mind. Once trapped in it, one would fall into an endless abyss.
She has been troubled by illness for many years, so she knows how precious a healthy body is.
But some people use this method to destroy other people's bodies.
Therefore, from then on, she hated things like hibiscus slices.
Until one day, she learned a new dish from Lan Yao and wanted to go to the front yard to let her father taste it, but she heard a few words outside the door.
It was Zhang Li who told Zhang Gusheng that a new batch of hibiscus slices had been produced and were waiting to be sold to the outer city.
She didn't hear it clearly, but she could understand from the words that her father was the one who controlled the Mojing Furong piece.
Zhang Shutang suppressed the shock in his heart, walked away quietly with steady steps, and only stopped when he reached a nearby pavilion.
When she put the lunch box on the table, her hands were shaking. After sitting down, she realized that her back was almost soaked with sweat.
She would never have thought that her always kind father would have such a close connection with Hibiscus slices.
"Second Miss, what's wrong with you?" At this time, a maid passed by and suddenly spoke, which scared her.
Zhang Shutang's face turned pale. She pushed the lunch box forward and said, "I made some food for Dad, but I was feeling a little unwell just now, so I wanted to rest here for a while. It's a good thing you're here, so please help me take it over."
"Okay, do you need me to take you back first?"
"No need, I feel much better now."
Zhang Shutang was stunned for a long time before returning to Fangfei Garden.
From then on, she paid more attention to the news related to Hibiscus slices. After learning more about it, she felt that this thing was very harmful to people, and she began to think about stopping Zhang Gusheng.
But she was in the inner house after all, so even if she had ideas in her mind, she was out of reach.
She even had the idea of ​​confronting her father directly and trying to persuade him to be a good person, but she was not sure whether Zhang Gusheng would listen to her, so she did not take any action.
It wasn't until late one night when Yang Pu accidentally hid in her room to avoid the security guards that the situation began to change.
