Chapter 178 Her Conspiracy
There is no doubt that Fu Yi is a very good-looking man.
Cheng Nianying looked at him, his brows furrowed, veins bulging, his handsome eyes dyed with a different color, and his gaze fell squarely on her, fixed, as if he wanted to devour her.
Although he was doing this, Fu Yi felt very oppressive.
Cheng Nianying breathed in and out gently and did not dodge.
She didn't know how long she stood there, watching Fu Yi's sleeves wrinkle, sweat soaking his brows, and his composure gradually lose its composure...
Will this make me lose control of my emotions?
I actually felt like I was driving him crazy.
Cheng Nianying's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Master." Wu Xun's voice sounded outside the door, "A letter from the Imperial Capital."
Fu Yi remained calm, but Cheng Nianying, who rarely felt like a thief, instinctively turned her head to look towards the door.
Meanwhile, Fu Yi finally stood up slowly, straightened his clothes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Well, get some water."
Wu Xun didn't understand what was going on, but he still responded and went to give the order.
After a while, the guard came in carrying water. Fu Yi turned around and walked behind the screen. While taking a bath and changing clothes, he opened the letter and read it.
He really does what he says. If he can't persuade her, he won't do anything about it.
"Girl, girl." Mother Zou's voice came from outside the door.
Only then did Cheng Nianying let out the air that had been pressing on her chest and walked over.
"Why is your face so red?" Mother Zou raised her hand and touched Cheng Nianying's forehead. "It's a good thing it's not hot."
Cheng Nianying rarely feels so embarrassed.
She lowered her head and frowned. Okay, next time she won't kiss Fu Yi on purpose to make him angry and torture him.
Mother Zou continued happily, "Finally, I see the young lady again. I am so happy..."
Cheng Nianying wanted to go further, so she took two steps forward.
Otherwise, she would have the illusion that she was still trapped in Fu Yi's strong and hot breath.
Mother Zou chased after her for two steps and asked hurriedly, "Miss, are you still leaving? Miss, are you not staying? I'm still thinking of serving you."
Mother Zou couldn't help but express her plea.
She really hoped to return to Cheng Nianying.
"I won't leave these few days."
Just a few days?
Okay, a few days will be fine.
Mother Zou finally let go of her anxious heart.
Cheng Nianying asked her, "How have you been doing since I left?"
"That's it." Madam Zou lowered her voice and said, "To be honest, I was terribly frightened those first few days after you left. The whole mansion was gloomy... The Marquis's wife came to visit and left with swollen eyes. I knew then that something was wrong, terrible! Not long after, Miss Yurong was imprisoned in the Diyue Pavilion."
"But the prince didn't punish us servants. From then on, we only had to do chores in the outer courtyard. We didn't starve, nor did we get beaten."
When I go home, I get some cold stares. Mother Zou thought about it and didn't say this.
Although his gentleness was pretended, when Fu Yi got angry, he seemed to rarely implicate his servants.
Cheng Nianying responded softly: "Yeah."
Mother Zou asked about her recent life again. Cheng Nianying didn't want to elaborate, so she just mentioned it briefly and let Mother Zou take her to play with the cat.
Later, Fu Yi came to see her again.
The man was dressed neatly again, without a single wrinkle on his robe.
"The emperor wants me to return to Beijing." Fu Yi sat down.
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips. Is this true?
"What are you talking to me about?"
Fu Yi seemed to be in a very good mood again. He asked gently, "Will you come back to the capital with me?"
"We haven't caught the guy who's been watching me."
"If you catch him, will you come back with me?" Without waiting for Cheng Nianying to answer, Fu Yi continued, "Even if you recognize Madam Pei, you can't stay in the Pei Mansion. Don't you want to go and see Prince Ding?"
Cheng Nianying suddenly said, "I wanted to find you last night, but I didn't know where you lived."
Fu Yi paused.
last night?
"You want to find me?" Fu Yi uttered these four words slowly, with a hint of sweetness between his lips and teeth.
"Well, I want to tell you that the Fourth Madam wants me to stay."
"..." Fu Yi lowered his eyes and said in a strange tone, "So, no matter what, you want to stay in Pei Mansion? You don't care about Prince Ding's affairs?"
“It’s just a one-way trip.”
Fu Yi was silent for a while, then tapped the table with his fingers: "Serve the food."
The two of them finished their meal in silence. Cheng Nianying ate attentively as always, while Fu Yi only touched his chopsticks a few times.
After putting down his chopsticks, Cheng Nianying looked up and asked, "Why hasn't the wound on the prince's shoulder healed yet?"
Fu Yi didn't shy away from it, and said calmly, "If I hadn't kept it to myself until now, I would have received this blow in vain."
Cheng Nianying grabbed the edge of the table.
"It's a pity that I didn't even see you frown."
Cheng Nianying couldn't help but say, "It's just because I've seen so many of them, people with missing arms and legs, people with their bones dug out, their intestines spilling out..."
"…………" Fu Yi's mouth twitched, and the gloom in his eyes disappeared, leaving only anger and amusement. "So my injury is not serious enough?"
Fu Yi is different from those nobles. He is also cruel to himself.
Cheng Nianying hurriedly said: "You can't be injured that badly. If you are injured like that, you will die."
"..." I really don't know whether these words are out of concern for him or a curse on him.
Cheng Nianying added, "I heard from Mother Zou that you didn't vent your anger on her after I left. She said you were a rare and good master."
Fu Yi had no expression on his face.
"When I saw you again in Weiyang, I thought you were going to kill me."
Fu Yi's eyebrows twitched.
"But you didn't kill me. When the Cen family was in trouble, you still let me go first."
"The prince treats me well indeed, better than I treat him."
When Fu Yi heard her say this, his expression finally changed.
But the moment she said it was really delicate.
"Are you saying all this just to avoid going back to Imperial Capital with me?"
"The prince taught me that nothing in the world is unconditional..."
Now, when Fu Yi heard her say this, his veins popped out.
He was about to shut her up when Cheng Nianying said even faster, "Does the prince still insist on doing this?"
"If I continue to practice what the prince taught me, like today, even if I said something pleasing to the ear sincerely, the prince would no longer be happy and would think that I was going to make some kind of exchange."
"Even if I kiss the prince, it seems like I have ulterior motives."
Fu Yi suddenly stopped.
She is very smart.
She is so smart!
Fu Yi finally took a big step back and said, "What I said was wrong."
Cheng Nianying licked her lips again and asked softly, "Then I want to stay in the Pei family. Are you still angry?"
Fu Yi: “…” Finally, she was still waiting for him here!
But the tactics used by "Xiao He" today were just like his usual overt schemes. Even though he had foreseen it, he still had to accept it for the sake of his "sincerity".
"If you stay in Pei Mansion, I can't kidnap you."
Cheng Nianying nodded and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye: "Then you won't scare me with the medicine in the building?"
“…………” “No.”
This was a rare moment after Cheng Nianying stopped pretending to be the princess of a county prince and smiled at him with pursed lips.
She saw that, well, Fu Yi's love for her was probably deeper and stronger than a barrel of wine.
She said, "You need to apply medicine to your wound."
