"Huh?"
Even as the woman in the sedan chair exclaimed in surprise, her voice remained pleasant, though it sounded somewhat familiar.
As a well-rounded newcomer from the civilized world, although I didn't actually bump into the other person, it was clear that the other person had fallen because of me.
He hurriedly dismounted and lifted the sedan chair: "Miss, are you alright?"
Although the sedan chair and the person were heavy, with his current cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to lift them up.
However, his good intentions in helping the person up seemed to have backfired. There was a sound of a heavy object hitting the side of the carriage, probably because the sedan chair had overturned, causing the person inside to lose their balance and bounce around.
Ah~
The person inside was clearly also disoriented from the impact. He instinctively tried to get out of the sedan chair, but lost his balance and fell directly out from the front.
"Watch out!" Zu'an quickly reached out to help him.
The touch was filled with the warmth and softness of jade, and Zu An's heart skipped a beat.
A pretty face, both charming and delicate, appeared before her. Her elegant eyebrows and delicate nose gave her the refined beauty of a lady from a water town.
"Miss Zheng, it's you?"
By this time, he had clearly seen the other person's appearance; it was none other than Zheng Dan.
It would be even better if it was someone you knew, to avoid a lot of arguments later. I don't even know if there's such a thing as staged accidents.
"Ah Zu, it's you?"
Zheng Dan saw him clearly and looked at him with surprise and delight.
"Ahem~" Sang Qian coughed in dissatisfaction. "How long are you two planning to stop cuddling?"
The two then realized they were still leaning against each other, and quickly let go as if they had been electrocuted, taking a step back in unison.
Zheng Dan blushed deeply, her heart pounding like a deer.
Zuan then realized, how did it turn out like he was caught cheating by the person in question?
I just saved your wife, shouldn't you be thanking me?
Sang Qian felt a surge of anger rising within him. Normally, Zheng Dan wouldn't even let him hold her hand, but now she was so intimately embracing another man.
Even though I know there's a reason for what happened today, why does it feel so strange?
"Grandpa, where are you all rushing off to?"
Zheng Dan came to her senses, tucked her disheveled hair behind her ears after the jolt, and asked.
Zu An thought to himself, "You have a fiancée here, why are you asking me instead?"
However, he still replied, "We have important matters to attend to. We'll explain to Miss Zheng when we get back."
After saying that, he hurriedly mounted his horse.
Zheng Dan glanced at the anti-smuggling soldiers behind him and quickly said, "Are they going to raid some illegal salt trade?"
Zu An's expression changed: "How did you know?"
Could it be that the secret has already been leaked?
Zheng Dan smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. If the anti-smuggling smugglers aren't out there to arrest salt smugglers, what are they doing? Besides, a large part of our Zheng family's business is in salt, so we naturally know a lot about this."
Hearing her say that, Zu'an felt a little relieved.
“Take me with you, after all, our Zheng family has always abhorred smuggled salt,” Zheng Dan said. “I’ve never seen smuggling salt before, and I’d like to see it for myself.”
"Don't be ridiculous. This is serious business, how can we bring women along?" Sang Qian snorted and refused outright.
Zheng Dan smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, I haven't entered the Sang family yet. Strictly speaking, I'm not a member of the Sang family yet, just the daughter of a salt merchant. It's reasonable for me to ask to see the scene."
Zu An stared wide-eyed at the scene. Zheng Dan usually gave off a gentle and tender feeling, so why was she so disrespectful to Sang Qian in public today?
If she marries into the Sang family, will she have a good life?
Could it be that she deliberately revealed her feelings to me today because I was there?
Oh dear, the downside of a man being so charming is that it can easily affect other people's families.
Sang Qian snorted: "Even so, if we need to march quickly, your sedan chair won't be able to keep up."
"I can ride a horse too!" Zheng Dan raised her snow-white neck, as proud as a beautiful swan.
Sang Qian frowned: "I don't have any horses for you to ride. These are all military horses and cannot be used for private purposes. Otherwise, being impeached is a serious crime."
Zheng Dan pursed her lips, knowing he was telling the truth, and was caught in a dilemma.
Just then, a weak voice rang out from the side: "These horses of mine are not military horses, I can take you with me."
Sang Qian was almost furious. How dare he flirt with my fiancée right in front of me?
What do you mean by "you can bring her"?
Could it be that you two are sharing a horse?
How can I continue to be a leader if I just sit and watch this happen in front of so many of my subordinates!
Anger from Sang Qian +666!
Zu An smiled inwardly. This guy was so angry. Could it be that Zheng Dan's actions before were not at his behest?
That's when things get interesting.
Zheng Dan glanced at Zu An, then at Sang Qian, and finally shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, young master, but it's not necessary."
If it were a private meeting between the two of them, she might impulsively agree, since she was tasked with using her beauty to seduce him.
But if she were to ride a horse so intimately with another man in front of so many people, the marriage between the Zheng and Sang families would definitely be called off.
The Sang family would never allow themselves to become a laughing stock in the world.
Even members of the Zheng family would mostly use brooms to beat her.
Zuan was just testing the two of them; he wouldn't actually be so audacious.
She quickly ordered one of her guards to give her a horse, and then headed to the dock.
