Chapter 371 Chance Encounter
This voice sounds familiar.
Chu Liuzheng looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person beside him with a veil covering her face, her eyes as beautiful as water. Who else could it be but Huang Ting?
Seeing that she recognized her, Huang Ting smiled slightly: "I thought she looked like her when I saw her profile just now, but I never thought she was really a girl. What a coincidence."
【I'm sorry for the journey with you.】
Chu Liuzheng also smiled: "I came out to buy breakfast. Miss Huang, are you here to visit Xiancheng?"
"Yeah." Huang Ting nodded gently. "I'm bored staying at home. I'd like to go out for a walk with Ying'er while the weather is nice."
She glanced at the food Chu Liuzheng had placed on the table and offered, "I'll have the maid take the young lady off."
"I was just worried I wouldn't be able to get it. Thank you very much." Chu Liuzheng handed some of the food to the maid who came forward, took the rest himself, and said to the master and servant, "It's not far ahead."
The maid was worried about leaving Huang Ting here alone, so Huang Ting said, "I'll go with you."
Seeing the two of them singing the same tune, Chu Liuzheng's eyes turned slightly, wanting to see what else Miss Huang would do.
The three of them went to Du's house.
On the way, Huang Ting took the initiative to talk to Chu Liuzheng and tried to find out the identities of their group in a roundabout way.
Chu Liuzheng has been in the palace for so long, how could it be so easy for her to get information out of him?
But, I really can’t say it, because lies will just come out of my mouth, right?
So, when they arrived at the gate of the Du Mansion, Chu Liuzheng had already fully explained Young Master Wang's identity to Huang Ting.
The spoiled young master from a powerful family couldn't stand the discipline of his father and brother. Taking advantage of the beautiful spring scenery, he took a group of people to travel south to relax and have fun. He would go back when he had enough fun.
At first glance, he was obviously the idle and idle young man that was common in Beijing. However, Huang Ting had a preconceived notion and with her own filters, she still thought that Young Master Wang was great.
The maid saw her eyes sparkling and suddenly asked Chu Liuzheng, "Young Master Wang is such a man, I guess he has already arranged a marriage?"
When asking this question, don't make your intention too obvious.
Chu Liuzheng's eyes turned, and he was about to answer when he heard Huang Ting's urgent scolding: "Dong'er, don't be rude!"
If an unmarried girl secretly inquires about the marriage of a man other than her husband, even if it is a maid who asks, others will just say that she is reckless.
There are many rules in the homes of the powerful. If Young Master Wang heard this, what would he think of her?
She is planning for the long term, not just a one-time thing.
Being scolded by her own young lady, Dong'er pouted and looked a little aggrieved.
Considering that the girl had brought a lot of food for her, Chu Liuzheng spoke up to smooth things over and hinted that his young master not only had a wife but also a concubine, and there were so many people that they could even have several tables to play cards with.
I don’t know if she spoke too obscurely or Huang Ting didn’t understand, but in any case, Huang Ting didn’t react much to it.
Dong'er was still quietly apologizing for her slip of the tongue just now, saying that she would never dare to say such a thing again.
Huang Ting was angry, but she also knew that Dong'er asked this question because of her, and she couldn't bear to punish her, so she just scolded her twice and let it go.
Chu Liuzheng ignored the dispute between the master and servant and waved to the servant to come and get food.
According to etiquette, she should have invited Huang Ting and her servant in for a cup of tea, after all, they had helped her. But Chu Liuzheng seemed to have forgotten and just looked at the two of them with a smile, standing at the door with them to talk.
Huang Ting was anxious. She had followed him for so long and finally waited for this opportunity, but she was going back without even seeing Young Master Wang. She felt a little unwilling.
But no matter how unwilling she was, she was not shameless enough to ask to go into the mansion and have a seat.
Chu Liuzheng looked at him coldly and shook his head secretly.
It seems that Miss Huang is determined to join the big family to play cards and cannot be persuaded at all.
After chatting for a while, Huang Ting started to find something to talk about, so she said goodbye: "Look at me, I get along so well with you, I even forgot the time. If I don't go back, Ying'er will be worried. I'm leaving now."
Chu Liuzheng politely walked two steps forward. Huang Ting casually said, "I heard there's a Hundred Flowers Garden to the west of the city. The scenery is just right. I'd like to invite you to go there tomorrow to enjoy the scenery and listen to music. Would you be willing to come?"
[Tsk, this is quite a long way to go.]
"Thank you for your kindness, Miss. It's a pity I can't go." Chu Liuzheng sighed softly, his tone somewhat helpless. "Young Master heard that a magic troupe has come to Sishui Town. They are quite talented. I was planning to go to Sishui Town to check it out after breakfast."
Huang Ting: “…”
She had just recovered from the bumpy journey, but now she had to leave again. Couldn't she stay in Xiancheng for a few more days?
"What a coincidence." No matter what she was thinking, her voice remained gentle and her eyes were smiling. "Ying'er loves the hustle and bustle. If she hears there's a magic show troupe, she'll definitely go see it. Maybe we'll run into each other in Sishui Town again. Then I'll invite you to join us for a visit."
"Okay." Chu Liuzheng agreed immediately and watched the two of them leave. He turned around and went back in after they were out of sight.
On this side, Dong'er whispered: "Miss, from what Miss Chu said, that Young Master Wang already has a wife and concubine at home, and he is not a good man."
Huang Ting looked straight ahead, walked slowly, and said nothing.
Her face was covered by a veil, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
Dong'er looked at her, thinking that there were no outsiders around at the moment, and couldn't help but whispered: "The master loves you and will definitely not agree to let you marry such a playboy, and the lady will not agree either."
Huang Ting: "I've met many playboys, but he doesn't look like one."
Hearing the tone of the voice was not right, Dong'er hurriedly asked: "Miss, do we still need to go to Sishui Town?"
Huang Ting nodded without hesitation.
"Miss, there are thousands of handsome men in the world, not just him." Dong'er didn't know what kind of bewitching drug her young lady had been under. She was already married, but she wasn't ready to give up. She said anxiously, "Let's go back to Tancheng. Madam will definitely be able to find you a better one. You..."
"Dong'er." Huang Ting stopped suddenly, turned around, her eyes blazing, "Daddy always said that good things are always stolen. I want to give it a try."
She can divorce her wife and sell her concubine. As long as Young Master Wang likes her, she has plenty of ways to do it!
Dong'er: "..."
No, that Young Master Wang doesn’t sound like a good person!
Our daughter is beautiful and talented, and our family is rich enough to recruit a son-in-law. Why should she suffer such an injustice?
But Huang Ting obviously wouldn't listen, and Dong'er didn't want to annoy her anymore, so she just continued, "If you still want to go, why didn't you tell that girl that we could go with them?"
Wouldn’t this give me a chance to meet Young Master Wang?
"It's not the right time." Huang Ting had indeed thought of going together just now, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Taking the initiative is one thing, but being pushy is another. A woman should be more reserved; she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Young Master Wang.
Besides, how could Chu Liuzheng, a mere maid, make the decision?
Besides... Huang Ting pursed her lips, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
Sishui Town is not a good place. If Young Master Wang really goes there for a visit, the opportunity she has been waiting for will come. It will be more convenient if she does not go there together.
Dong'er naturally had no idea what she was planning. She frowned, worrying about how to explain to the master and the mistress when she returned.
