Jiu Ye pulled out his arm and placed it on the animal sculpture on the stone bridge: "As you wish."
At this moment, a small flower boat passed under the bridge in the river. Fu Tong'er sat at the bow of the boat, looking ahead in a daze. She was surrounded by flowers and her black hair was floating casually, which made people feel sad.
The scene was so beautiful that it gave Jiu Ye a sense of gloom.
It was as if it were a funeral ship.
Beneath the clusters of flowers, in the middle lay Fu Tong'er's cold body...
Jiu Ye closed his eyes. How could he have such a feeling? He couldn't help but think of a miscellaneous book he read as a child, "Night Strange Stories." It told the story of a fairy, called the "Flower Fairy" because she was the most beautiful of all flowers. To save the man she loved, the Flower Fairy took out the heart of her flower bud and gave it to him. Eventually, she withered and died, and the man married the woman who cultivated the flower.
However, Lu Zhenzhi remembered that after reading that story, he felt a chill run down his spine. Thinking about it now, and looking at Fu Tong'er again, he always felt that the flower boat, while seemingly beautiful, was actually very unlucky.
Watching Fu Tong'er's sad back as she sat among the flowers wearing a garland and gradually walked away, Jiu Ye felt a little worried.
As he was watching, he saw King Hui was also on the boat, half leaning on the bow, staring at Fu Tong'er's back in a daze.
From a distance, he looked like he was deeply in love with the woman at the bow.
Jiu Ye's eyes tightened slightly as he watched the flower boat drift further and further away. His mind was filled with the image of his good nephew Lu Qixuan staring blankly at Fu Tong'er. Oh, a single man and a single woman, touring Shangyang County on a flower boat at night, gazing affectionately, accompanied by flowers. It was truly romantic.
Mu Yingge looked at Jiu Ye who was still staring at the boat and said with a wry smile, "Is Jiu Ye heartbroken?"
The boat went farther and farther away, disappearing in the sea of ships and lights.
"Princess Tingyang, it's time to go back." Jiu Ye had no intention of accompanying anyone else. His little cat was traveling with another man. Right now, he had more important things to do.
Having said that, without waiting for Mu Yingge's reaction, he raised his hand and asked the servant to send the man away directly -
…
In the headquarters.
When Fu Tong'er returned here, she was in a daze.
After walking through a few doors, I came to my own courtyard, pushed open the door, stepped over the threshold, and thought of the scene I saw today. I was so angry that I slammed the flowers onto the table!
Little did she know, a man was already lying on the bed in the inner chamber. Hearing the noise, he lowered his legs, folded his arms, and waited, the jade ring on his thumb gleaming a faint green light in the darkness.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, Fu Tong'er walked towards the inner bedroom.
When I lifted the curtain, even though there was no light inside, I could clearly see that there was a man lying on the bed.
You can tell who it is at first glance by the figure.
Fu Tong'er walked over and sat down on a soft couch, poured a cup of tea and took a sip, then looked at Lu Zhenzhi who was sitting with his legs crossed on the bed. From his aura, one could tell at a glance that he was waiting for her to come back.
Seeing that she wouldn't go over, Lu Zhenzhi took off the jade ring from his thumb and placed it on the small table beside the bed. He stood up and leaned against the pile of pillows, folding his arms. "You're quite brave. You took advantage of my socializing to go on a night tour of Shangyang County with another man. Did you enjoy yourself?"
Fu Tong'er saw the golden wound medicine she bought for the man during the day placed on the edge of the bed.
She wanted to give up on the man in front of her, but she couldn't bear to.
Lu Zhenzhi picked up the small medicine bottle on the edge of the bed. He couldn't see his face in the darkness, only his outline. He heard his calm voice: "Sending flowers, taking a boat ride, watching the moon in the alleys, eating at roadside stalls. A single man and a single woman, giving and receiving things privately, how shameful! Come here!!!"
As he spoke, there was a dull thud as the medicine bottle hit the edge of the nanmu bed!
