In Guixu Ridge, Li Shi, who had been waiting for Zheng Quchi's "invitation", heard Ju Zi report: "Uh... Brother Sang didn't know what he said to Engineer Mu, but he jumped up and down happily and left Guixu Ridge."
Master Li never told anyone that "Sang Xuanqing" was a woman, so Ju Zi always treated her as a man.
After listening, Teacher Li pondered quietly for a moment before suddenly realizing, "You mean, she forgot to bring me?"
The saw was as tall as an iron tower, even a head taller than the slender and tall Master Li, but now he wished he could shrink himself down so as not to be too noticeable.
Not daring to tell the truth, Saw could only offer a tactful suggestion: "Master, it's snowing, we should take shelter."
Teacher Li showed no particular emotion: "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Saw asked in surprise.
"Although she forgot, I didn't, so naturally I had to go and remind her."
As soon as Saw heard this, he knew that his master was getting serious. Once he had made up his mind about something, others would not give up until they were completely convinced, but he would not give up even when they were completely convinced.
There are never any roundabout or detour options with him. If he agrees to do something, he has to do it. If he can't do it, he'll make her do it.
Knowing he was doomed to fail to persuade him, Ju Zi remained silent.
He scratched his head, wondering what kind of expression Brother Sang would have when he saw their master come uninvited to visit.
apology?
happy?
still……
At this time, Guixu Ridge was basically in a semi-shutdown state. Most of the local stonemasons and laborers were allowed to go home for the festival, while those from distant places had to stay and take turns on duty. However, the construction site would prepare some more abundant food for them than usual.
Teacher Li hadn't seen many people along the way.
That's true. It's snowing lightly right now, the roads are wet and slippery, and there's nothing urgent to do, so who would come out to wander around?
The previous excitement seemed to have been taken away with everyone as they returned home for the holiday.
Although Master Li's expression remained unchanged, the increasing force under his feet revealed a sense of dissatisfaction and desolation in the saw, a feeling of being abandoned.
He glanced at his master's upright back and couldn't help but complain a little about Brother Sang.
He had already promised his master that they would spend New Year's Day together, so why did he break his promise at the last minute? That's so rude of him!
She didn't even consider what kind of person his master was.
In the past, people would have begged for this, even if they wanted it. Even someone as arrogant as Yuwen Sheng had to go to great lengths to win over his master so he could do things for him.
But their master simply refused to pay him any attention and insisted on keeping her appointment.
Now look what's happened! They practically delivered it to her door in person, and she still forgot to bring it! It's outrageous!
Ai?
wrong.
It's not "already given", but "already given".
Even if she was his master's savior, this is still going too far!
This is outrageous!
Just as the master and servant had descended to the halfway point of the mountain, they encountered an unexpected person on the road—Gongshu Lan.
Her purple dress fluttered in the wind, her long black hair cascading down her back; her gentle and elegant temperament truly lived up to her name, like a solitary orchid in a secluded valley.
Saw was stunned: "Second Miss?!"
"Brother."
When Gongshu Lan saw Li Shi, even though his face was unfamiliar, the familiar feeling he gave her made her eyes well up with tears. Her long eyelashes were covered with tears, making her look as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.
In contrast, when Li Shi saw Gongshu Lan, he did not show much excitement about the reunion of the siblings. He glanced around at her and saw that no one was following her.
But he was very perceptive and quickly realized what was going on.
"He let you out? Was he trying to confirm whether I was still in Fuxian County?"
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Lan immediately denied it: "No, recently Yuwen Sheng has been giving me two hours of free time every day to prepare some things. I just happened to see the words my brother left in a secret place in the workshop, and that's how I came here. But don't worry, I'm sure no one is following me."
Li Shi glanced at her indifferently: "There's no need to follow me. As long as you can find me, Yuwen Sheng will naturally find out that I'm still in Fu County very soon."
Then he was found out, it was only a matter of time.
Gongshu Lan was taken aback for a moment, her beautiful eyes slightly opening. She slowly realized what the other party was planning. She clutched her skirt tightly and immediately apologized, "I didn't mean to... Lan was foolish."
I never expected... that she was trying to curry favor with Yuwen Sheng and surrender through this method?
Master Li, who is actually Gongshu Jiruo in disguise, doesn't care what she thinks.
“I mentioned it to Yuwen Sheng in person, but he is not willing to marry you.”
Upon hearing this, Gongshu Lan became agitated. She bit her lower lip and said, "Brother, do you know why he doesn't want to marry me? It's because he married someone else not long ago!"
This should be true, because she learned about it unintentionally from Wang Zebang, Yuwen Sheng's adjutant.
"What?! Yuwen Sheng got married?!"
The saw was shocked and blurted out.
Not to mention the saw, even Gongshu Jiruo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
“Since he has already married, what’s the point of you staying? You must have heard that the Yuwen family has a tradition of only marrying wives, not taking concubines, and there has never been a precedent of divorcing a wife.”
Gongshu Lan certainly knew.
It was precisely because she knew this that she was so heartbroken after learning about it.
“I’m not reconciled. How could someone as talented and ambitious as him, with his aspirations for the world, marry a peasant girl from Fu County? He must have been forced by the emperor of Ye to do this.”
