☆, Chapter 111: There are many things a lone man and woman can do together.
Zhao Yunjing dodged the man's embrace and leaped two zhang away.
Only then did I realize that it was Miss Chen!
She, a lady from a respectable family, actually cornered a man in her room!
How absurd!
Zhao Yunjing's handsome face was cold and stern: "Miss Chen, please step aside!"
She was pressed against the door, looking at him shyly and timidly: "Young Master Zhao, I just want to talk to you."
"I have nothing to say to Miss Chen, please step aside!"
Ms. Chen wouldn't move aside and even took two steps forward.
Zhao Yunjing leaped two zhang away, treating her like a raging flood or a ferocious beast.
The room was quite large, with two side rooms inside. Miss Chen wouldn't be able to reach him for the time being. However, since Miss Chen had managed to trick those two classmates into coming here, she must have a backup plan.
He had to leave immediately, otherwise things would get complicated when someone arrived.
Chen Wan'er is the daughter of an official, and no one would think that a daughter of an official would scheme against a farmer like him. People would only say that he would do anything to climb the social ladder by marrying the county magistrate. That's fine, but what's more, if Magistrate Chen is a higher-ranking official, he might be able to crush him with a single word and force him to marry Miss Chen.
He already has someone in his heart, and he can't live without her. Asking him to marry someone else is like asking him to die!
"Brother Zhao, do you really hate me that much? I'm deeply in love with you, and even if you can't reciprocate immediately, you shouldn't—"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yunjing had already used the furniture in the house to leap onto the crossbeam.
Ms. Chen was stunned, followed by anger and deep humiliation.
Enraged, she shouted, "Zhao Yunjing, I, the daughter of a county magistrate, have abandoned all propriety and reputation for you, and this is how you treat me! You wait! You try to avoid me, but I'll make sure you can't avoid me! If I can't have you, no one else can! You want to be the top scholar? I'll make sure you fail!"
After Miss Chen finished speaking, she took off her outer robe. Without further hesitation, Zhao Yunjing broke through the roof and leaped out.
"Zhao Yunjing—ah!"
Just as he leaped onto another rooftop and concealed himself, a large group of students walked towards the pavilion. If he had been a step slower or left through the door, he would have been caught red-handed!
Zhao Yunjing was terrified and quickly left.
They found a restroom by another side road. Zhao Yunjing went in and stayed for a while. When he came out, he ran into Lord Fang and Chen Shanhai. The two were chatting and laughing all the way, looking very intimate. It seemed like they were going to hold hands and go to the toilet. But they were obviously drunk and were walking unsteadily.
Seeing that Lord Fang almost fell over due to a twisted ankle, Zhao Yunjing quickly steadied him, saying, "Lord Fang, be careful."
"Oh, it's Yun Jing? You've come to the washroom too?" Lord Fang craned his neck to look at him, pointing with his finger and chuckling, "One person, two people, three people, ah, the Oath of the Peach Garden!"
"I'll be the eldest brother!"
"I'll be the second brother!"
Liang Shanhai and Lord Fang simultaneously pointed at Zhao Yunjing: "Third Brother!"
Zhao Yunjing: "Master Fang——"
"What 'Master Fang'? Call me Second Brother!"
Lord Fang is drunk. What would it look like if he shouted?
The servant beside Lord Fang advised, "Young Master Zhao, you should hurry up and shout, otherwise our lord will make a scene and we won't be able to control him."
While Zhao Yunjing was still trying to compose himself, Lord Fang had already started making a scene, craning his neck to glare at him: "You're not calling me Second Brother? Are you looking down on me? Are you looking down on me? Call me now! Call me now!"
"square--"
"It's Second Brother!"
"Young Master Zhao, please shout it out. It won't hurt you to shout it out. As long as the master is happy, that's all that matters. Once he sobers up, he won't remember anything. I'm begging you, Young Master Zhao, please, please go along with him!"
Seeing that Lord Fang was already pouting, the servant became anxious: "He's going to cry! He's going to cry!"
"Ooh~"
"Second Brother!"
Lord Fang was delighted and clapped his hands, laughing heartily: "Good third brother!"
"Good second brother, good third brother!"
Liang Shanhai jumped up with joy, but he was so excited that he lost his balance and pulled all three of them down.
Lord Fang's entourage, Lord Chen's servants, and two or three students who happened to be relieving themselves all came up to pull him away.
After some back and forth, it was almost half an hour before they got back to the banquet area.
The banquet was noisy, and you could still faintly hear people mentioning Zhao Yunjing's name.
Zhao Yunjing pretended not to hear. On his back was Chen Shanhai, who was almost asleep. Tugging at his clothes was Lord Fang, who kept calling him "Third Brother" while grinning foolishly. Behind him were several servants who looked utterly hopeless and several students who looked completely bewildered.
As soon as they returned, the noisy banquet fell silent as they watched Zhao Yunjing pointing and gesturing.
After settling Chen Shanhai into a seat, Zhao Yunjing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The next second, Chen grabbed him by the collar: "Hey Zhao, what did you just do?!"
Before Zhao Yunjing could speak, Lord Fang glared at him and said, "What are you doing? This is my third brother!"
"Who bullied my third brother? Take this punch!" Chen Shanhai punched him.
Young Master Chen had originally intended to confront Zhao Yun Jing, but instead, he was inexplicably beaten up. Confused and furious, he pointed at Zhao Yun Jing and shouted, "You, surnamed Zhao—"
"Liangjin, don't be rude!"
Lord Chen hurried over, his forehead covered in sweat. Ignoring Lord Fang and the others, he said urgently, "It's going to snow soon. Everyone should go back and rest early. We'll go back to celebrate the winter solstice next year."
Without a word, the guards dragged the students out. Hu Peiran squeezed through the crowd and quickly said to Zhao Yunjing, "Miss Chen said that you had just met with her in secret, but I believe you are not that kind of person. You would not betray Sister Jiaojiao."
"Thank you, Xiaoran."
“He Jiu and I are outside. If anything happens, just shout and we’ll rush in immediately.”
"good."
The Chen residence was quickly cleared out. Apart from the students who returned with Zhao Yunjing and Lord Fang from Liangshan Overseas, even the headmaster of Shanglin Academy was 'invited' away.
Lord Chen's face was ashen, Miss Chen was sobbing, and Young Master Chen stood beside her, glaring angrily at Zhao Yun Jing: "Zhao Yun Jing, where did you go just now?!"
"Clean room".
"Does it take that long to go to the bathroom?"
"I had an upset stomach, so it took a while."
“But two students saw you go to the pavilion and into one of the rooms.”
Two students dressed as students from Huilan Academy came out and pointed at Zhao Yunjing, saying, "We definitely saw Zhao Yunjing go in that direction with our own eyes."
Young Master Chen roared, "Zhao Yunjing! What else do you have to say?! You keep saying you have no feelings for my sister, yet you tricked her into meeting you inside! How could you do this to my sister, how could you do this to Miss Zhou? Zhao Yunjing! You despicable scoundrel, I misjudged you!"
"Young Master Chen speaks with such certainty, so you saw me in the room with your own eyes?"
"If I had seen it with my own eyes, I would have beaten you to death!"
"Since you didn't see me in the room, and I was with Lord Fang and Headmaster Chen, how can you be so sure that it was me in the room, Young Master Chen?"
"My sister doesn't lie."
"Zhao also—"
"Stop making excuses! My sister's reputation is ruined. You have to take responsibility for her, or I'll kill you! Father, you—"
Young Master Chen abruptly interrupted, "Alright! Let's not talk about this anymore! Someone, escort Young Master Zhao back to his village!"
Chen Shanhai and Lord Fang, who had just regained some consciousness: ? ? ?
Just a moment ago they were acting like they were going to interrogate us, so why did the Chen family suddenly change their minds?
