"Why don't you wear a veil?"
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the carriage, took out the veil inside the carriage, and put it on the woman's head.
The veil fell, covering the woman's pretty and bright face.
Shang Xingjian approached with his tall body, and placed his hands on the side panels of the carriage, trapping the woman between his arms.
Now they were outside, with their family members nearby. The woman couldn't say anything, so she frowned and whispered, "What are you doing? Take your hand away and let me out."
The man didn't move, and looked down at her, "Are you going to settle down in Luzhou? Take me with you."
"Did you hear everything?" Su Wanti raised her eyelids slightly.
Shang Xingjian chuckled, his eyes bright, completely devoid of the sorrow and resentment that had characterized their separation.
He opened his thin lips slightly, and said in a low and pleasant voice, "Let me guess what Miss Su is planning."
"Miss Su is planning to take her family to Luzhou to settle down, and she also wants to open a medicine shop in the huge Luzhou city. You have enough money to open a medicine shop, but opening a medicine shop requires not only money, but also a powerful force in the city to rely on. Luzhou Anjia is the force you want to rely on."
"So, Miss Su went to the An family in Luzhou to deliver the Resurrection Grass. Receiving the ten thousand taels of silver was secondary. Her primary goal was to make friends with the person in charge of the An family, hoping to receive their care in the future."
"However, the An family has a strict hierarchy and complicated rules. If there is no one to introduce you, the girl can only meet the An family's steward, hand over the medicine, take the banknote and leave. You will never meet the real master of the An family."
Hearing this, Su Wanti's eyes flashed, "Sir, can you let me meet the real master of the An family?"
"Get in the car, girl. We'll talk on the way."
Shang Xingjian took another step forward, and Su Wanti had nowhere to retreat and fell into the carriage.
The man's sharp breath hit the woman in the face, and she felt a hint of danger and loss of control.
"Aren't you riding in the same carriage with your friend?" She put one hand behind her back to steady herself.
One hand came up and pressed against the man's chest, preventing him from getting any closer.
The man chuckled and tried to hold her hand, but she quickly pulled her hand back and retreated into the narrow carriage.
The veil on her head was knocked off, and the woman's beautiful face illuminated the dark carriage.
"I told you I won't get married. Just pretend nothing happened last night..." She said in a very low voice.
Shang Xingjian looked calm, "Don't worry, young lady. I'm not a playboy or a scoundrel. I won't pester you."
"This time I really have something to discuss with you, young lady. I can indeed help you. You will know later."
