This action instantly made Yun Zhourong's face turn red with anger. She was both flustered and furious, and struggled to shout, "Let go of me right now, or I won't be polite!"
If it weren't for the fact that they were in public, she would have liked to just pull out the stun gun.
"Your Majesty... please calm down, please calm down!"
At this moment, the servant finally arrived and quickly pulled the richly dressed middle-aged man away. Then he apologized to Yun Zhourong, saying, "Miss, I'm so sorry. Our master didn't mean to be abrupt. It's just that you look so much like our late madam."
Upon hearing this explanation, Yun Zhourong looked up at the middle-aged man in fine clothes.
Indeed, his eyes did not contain any disgusting lewdness or lust, but rather deep affection and longing for what had been lost and regained, with even a faint glimmer of tears in them.
Thus, Yun Zhourong came to believe it.
After all, such genuine feelings cannot be faked.
She then picked up the veil and put it back on, but her attitude was still not good. She said coldly, "Since there are extenuating circumstances, I will forgive you this time, but I do not know you, so please show some respect."
At this moment, the middle-aged man in fine clothes calmed down a bit and tried to suppress his excitement as he apologized, "My name is Zhao Gan. I was... I was being presumptuous just now. How about I invite you to the Zhenxiu Pavilion for a meal as an apology?"
He looked like a naive young man experiencing his first love, full of trepidation.
However, Yun Zhourong had a very bad impression of Zhao Gan at this time, and coldly refused, "No, it's getting late, and my husband is probably getting impatient, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, he turned around and quickly left.
Upon hearing her say that she already had a husband, Zhao Gan swayed violently and almost lost his balance.
Staring at Yun Zhourong's retreating figure, she murmured dejectedly, "Isn't she Shuang'er...? Why did she get married...? How could she get married..."
Seeing Zhao Gan like this, the servants beside him quickly helped him up and whispered, "Master, I think that girl's hairstyle is not that of a married woman. I'm afraid the news that she is already married is just a lie."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gan's eyes lit up again, and he said excitedly, "Yes, she must not be married yet... It must be my actions just now that frightened her, so she deliberately lied to me... Hahaha..."
Finally, Zhao Gan raised his voice and patted the servant on the shoulder, saying, "Ade, you've done a great job this time. You'll be richly rewarded when we get back!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The servant immediately thanked him and continued, "Master, should I go and find out which family's daughter she is? This year is the start of a new selection of beauties."
"Very well, I'll leave this matter to you. Make sure you bring her to my side!"
Zhao Gan's eyes were full of determination. He then took out a safety amulet from his waist and murmured with slightly reddened eyes, "Shuang'er, it must be you who has come back to find me, right? This time, I will definitely protect you and never let you suffer again!"
If Yun Zhourong were here, she would surely find that this safety buckle is exactly the same as the safety buckle she owns!
After Yun Zhourong left in a hurry, she was worried that the two people from before would follow her, so she did not return to the Song family immediately, but took a detour.
The two people she just saw were clearly wealthy and powerful, especially Zhao Gan, who exuded a very strong aura. She couldn't afford to cause trouble for the Song family.
Fortunately, she has been wearing a veiled hat whenever she goes out recently. There are many people wearing veils in the capital, so as long as she doesn't reveal her true face, it won't be so easy for people to associate her with the Song family.
She wandered around for a while until she reached a secluded spot before summoning Ji Minxiu.
"What's wrong?" Ji Minxiu was still wearing a suit, so he must be in a meeting.
"Min-soo..."
The moment Yun Zhourong saw Ji Minxiu, for some reason, she suddenly felt a strong sense of grievance welling up in her heart, even though she had just appeared very calm and strong.
Then, with red eyes, she threw herself into Ji Minxiu's arms.
Sensing that something was wrong with her, Ji Minxiu quickly hugged her and asked with concern, "Is something wrong?"
"Um…"
Yun Zhourong nodded in his arms, and tried to speak, but tears streamed down her face, and she choked up and couldn't say a word.
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm here, it's alright..."
This crying really broke Ji Minxiu's heart. He hugged her tighter and kept comforting her.
Yun Zhourong cried in his arms until she calmed down.
"Have a drink."
Ji Minxiu wiped away Yun Zhourong's tears, handed her a cup of hot milk, helped her sit down in a chair, and then gently asked again, "What happened? Just tell me, I'm here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
"Well, it's nothing really, I was just suddenly startled."
Yun Zhourong calmed down now and felt a little embarrassed. She didn't know why she suddenly couldn't control her emotions in front of Ji Minxiu.
After that, she told him about her encounter with Zhao Gan. "So, it should just be a misunderstanding. Later, that person apologized, but I think he seems to be very obsessed with his deceased wife. I'm afraid he will come and bother me."
After listening, Ji Minxiu stepped forward and hugged Yun Zhourong again. "It must be a misunderstanding, but it's also my fault. If I were there, that person wouldn't have been able to get even a step closer to you. You must have been terrified."
Ji Minxiu's caring attitude warmed Yun Zhourong's heart. She leaned against him and gently shook her head, "Actually, it's not so bad. I'm just worried that they will keep bothering me."
Suddenly, Ji Minxiu released Yun Zhourong and frowned, saying, "You just said that person's name is Zhao Gan?"
Yun Zhourong nodded, "Yes, he said his name is Zhao Gan, but I don't know the specific character."
"Ruan Ruan, do you know what the current emperor is called?" Ji Minxiu asked softly.
"emperor…"
Yun Zhourong was stunned for a moment, then her face turned deathly pale. "Zhao... Zhao Gan... that man is the emperor... he actually told me his real name..."
During the Dasheng Dynasty, the emperor's name, whether in characters or pronunciation, had to be avoided, so there was only one person in the world named Zhao Gan!
The thought that she had almost attacked the emperor with a stun gun filled her with lingering fear.
"It's alright, he's just an emperor. Even if he knew who you are, I can still protect you."
Ji Minxiu once again held Yun Zhourong in his arms, his eyes deep and unfathomable, and said, "If all else fails, I'll just take you and hide in the deep mountains and forests. With me here, your lives won't be a problem."
Of course, this was just something he used to appease Yun Zhourong.
His idea was that if this emperor really dared to try and take Yun Zhou Rong away, then he wouldn't mind just replacing him with a different emperor!
In any case, given the current situation, he has enough food in his hands, so it would be quite easy for him to rise up in rebellion.
However, he also understood Yun Zhourong's personality and was afraid of scaring her. He wouldn't take that step unless he was forced to.
