Chapter 75: Want to Leave or Stay



Fang Jinxiu heard Chen Qi's muttering but was too lazy to pay attention.

She walked along the street, looking for a suitable inn while wondering where she should go.

Chen Qi followed muttering to himself, but after taking only two steps, Fang Jinxiu stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qi asked, looking at both sides of the street and said, "You'd better not choose a very good inn. Even if you have money, you still have to spend it frugally. The money you have now is not as inexhaustible as before. If you spend a little, you will have less..."

Fang Jinxiu did not interrupt him as a voice was heard from the front.

"Third Miss." Liu'er's eyes lit up as she looked at Fang Jinxiu who was coming towards her and ran over hurriedly.

It’s really weird, why do I always run into them, the master and servant, today?

Fang Jinxiu was about to turn around, but Liu'er had already spoken.

"Have you seen my lady?" she asked.

The voice was full of anxiety.

Fang Jinxiu stopped raising her foot.

Liu'er didn't notice her attempt to avoid him and looked around anxiously.

"They said they were coming this way, but why can't I see them anymore? What happened?" she said.

Nothing that happened to her had anything to do with her. It was like that at the beginning, and it was even more so now.

Fang Jinxiu frowned and said nothing.

"Is something really wrong?" Liu'er said hurriedly.

"What's wrong?" Fang Jinxiu blurted out. As soon as she said this, she wanted to slap herself in the face. You are so idle.

Liu'er didn't notice her annoyance.

"I don't know either. The young lady said something might be wrong and she wanted to go check it out. She asked me to go back and tell the old lady. I have already told her. I hurried to look for her, but I couldn't see her anymore." She said, "I have been looking for her for a long time, and passers-by said she was coming this way."

Jun Zhenzhen is a crow-mouthed person. Fang Jinxiu clenched her fists. All the things she said have come true.

"What went wrong? What did she see?" she asked.

"It's nothing. My young lady and I were walking back after watching the beheading. On the way, we met a group of officials. They were officials from Taiyuan Prefecture. My young lady looked at them and then she suddenly remembered something and said something was wrong." Liu'er said. "She asked me to go back and tell the old lady, and she went to take a look first..."

Here we go again! This guy always thinks he is the best.

"Look what she can do." Fang Jinxiu said with a stern face.

Liu'er didn't like to hear this.

"My young lady is very capable." She snorted, and after saying it, she felt that it sounded too good, with a hint of impatience. "Did you see it or not?"

Fang Jinxiu glared at her.

"I went with Mr. Lin," she said.

The name Lin Zhubu was so unexpected that Liu Er didn't know who Lin Zhubu was. After thinking for a while, she finally understood.

"With him, Chief Clerk Lin? What are you going to do with Chief Clerk Lin?" she asked.

"How should I know?" Fang Jinxiu said unhappily.

Liu'er curled her lips and looked at Fang Jinxiu.

"Is this true? You are not lying to me, are you?" she asked with a suspicious look on her face.

"Why would I lie to you?" Fang Jinxiu said angrily.

Liu'er's eyes sparkled.

"You were kicked out of the Fang family, so you hold a grudge against them," she said.

Fang Jinxiu was furious.

"Believe it or not," she shouted, pushing Liu'er away and walking quickly forward.

Chen Qi hurriedly chased after him, carrying the sugar man.

Liu'er pouted as she looked at Fang Jinxiu's back.

"What's there to be angry about? This is natural. You must be feeling guilty after being accused of being a thief." She snorted and ignored Fang Jinxiu. She walked forward with her head held high.

Chen Qi chased Fang Jinxiu carrying the sugar man.

"But there's no need to get angry about this. You've known this for a long time. You have to get used to it," he said.

Before she finished speaking, Fang Jinxiu stopped and stared at him.

"Know what? Used to what?" she asked.

Chen Qi blinked.

"I was driven out and felt resentful..." he stammered.

Fang Jinxiu looked very ugly and bit her lower lip.

"Why should I feel resentful? What do I resent? Do I resent them for giving birth to me and raising me?" she shouted.

Chen Qi quickly raised his hands to cover his face.

"No, no, I'm not saying you're resentful, I'm saying they will think so." He said, "Others will definitely think so of you and won't believe you."

As the daughter of the Su family, she is indeed not worthy of trust.

Yes, this was something she had known for a long time and it was something she had to get used to.

Fang Jinxiu looked sullen.

"But this is only what others think. I know you don't think that way." Chen Qi said hastily, "Sometimes we can't control other people's thoughts, but we can have a clear conscience and look at things in a positive light."

Fang Jinxiu turned around without saying anything and walked slowly along the street.

"Look at me, for example." Chen Qi followed behind her, "They always like to talk about my ancestors, such as the princes and the royal descendants, how glorious they were in the past, and then act as if they feel sorry for me. In fact, they don't feel sorry for me at all, they just take pleasure in my misfortune. But I don't think it's a big deal, because I don't think of myself as a prince or a royal descendant. I am who I am. What does my ancestors have to do with me?"

He paused again.

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter. Generally speaking, I am still enjoying the blessings left by my ancestors. Every March 3rd, I can go to Jinyun Tower to make a fortune."

He tilted his head in thought.

"In short, I think this is good enough. I don't think life would be much better if our ancestors were still here."

Here he paused again.

"Well, I do think about it sometimes, but I don't think I'm that pathetic. I just think it's interesting to think about."

At this point he shook his head again.

"What am I saying? Anyway, don't..."

He was startled when he found Fang Jinxiu was gone, and then he saw Fang Jinxiu sitting down on the side of the road at some point.

"Miss Fang, what's wrong with you?" he asked carefully.

Fang Jinxiu just looked at the street.

"I'm tired, let's take a rest." She said in a muffled voice.

As long as she was willing to talk, Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down a little further away from her, carrying the sugar man.

"I've been walking for quite some time. I'm really tired," he said.

Fang Jinxiu ignored him and just looked at the people on the street. Chen Qi didn't ask any more questions, but didn't stay quiet either. He actually held up the candy man and invited people to buy and sell it, which soon attracted several children who were chattering and making a lot of noise.

Before we knew it, the remaining few sugar figures were sold out, and the evening glow filled the street.

Chen Qi counted the money happily.

"I've earned back the money I spent on tea and meat," he said.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him, let out a breath, patted her legs and stood up.

"Have you had a good rest?" Chen Qi quickly stood up and said.

Fang Jinxiu looked towards the street and saw an inn within her sight.

"I'll live here," she said. "Thank you very much. See you later."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward and Chen Qi hurriedly followed.

"I'd better see you off to the west. I'll leave after you're settled." He said, and just as he was about to catch up, he saw Fang Jinxiu stop again.

What happened? Who did you see again?

This is the bad thing about living in Yangcheng. The place is too small and you can run into acquaintances just by turning around.

Chen Qi followed Fang Jinxiu's gaze and heard crying before he could see the person clearly.

Liu'er ran over crying, her hair disheveled and with obvious slap marks on her face, attracting the attention of people on the street.

Chen Qi laughed out loud.

"This girl was beaten." he said.

Fang Jinxiu frowned, rushed over and grabbed Liu'er who was running away crying.

"Did someone from the Lin family beat you?" she asked.
