Chapter 13
When Fu Jinwan heard this, she felt like sorting out her thoughts, so she casually gave a reason and left.
Liang He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Fu Jinwan leave. He said he would be alone for a while and quickly sent Chu Li away.
System: This is dangerous.
Liang He: That’s better than an outsider occupying this body, right?
People who are unclear about their identities make people feel wary.
System: That’s right.
Liang He walked to the cabinet, took out a small box, took out the jade pendant wrapped in cloth, took a look at it, and put it back.
"Let's go for a walk." Liang He was about to leave with the box containing the jade pendant when he saw Zhao Fangyu's post. Something occurred to him, so he wrote a small note and stuffed it into the box. He also wrote a letter and asked Chu Li to come in, "Please help me deliver it to the Zhao Mansion and give it to the second young master Zhao."
Although it is good to have one more person to assist, Song Ji doesn't like her now. If she gets closer to Zhao Fang and is misunderstood, the effect will be counterproductive.
She should use her perseverance and some tricks to impress her male partner.
Liang He watched Chu Li walk away, then slipped out of the back door of the Fu Mansion.
If Fu Jinxi knew about this, she would definitely report it to Old Madam Fu, and she would not be able to explain herself.
But asking Chu Li to pay it back doesn't reflect her feelings.
Do it yourself, it is appropriate and shows your importance.
So, Liang He walked out through the back door carefully.
"System, please turn on your positioning function. Target, General Song's residence." A cheerful female voice drifted through the alley.
"Okay, Xiao Hezi."
The two of them walked around most of the city before they arrived at Song Ji's residence.
"Why is Song Ji's home so far from the Fu Mansion?" Liang He walked for half an hour, which was an hour.
System: The capital is also very big.
Liang He straightened her clothes and put on her veil, then blew the wind for a while and wiped the sweat from her cheeks.
"Hello." Liang He walked over and knocked on the door. The servant opened it and found a woman. Even through the veil, he thought she was beautiful.
"Excuse me, young lady, are you looking for our general?" The servant looked at Liang He. Liang He was well-dressed and elegant, looking like a noble lady.
"This is something General Song left behind. Please pass it to him." After Liang He finished speaking, he saw the Song family servant take the thing away and left without staying any longer.
The servant felt strange, watched Liang He walk away, and then told Uncle Fu about it.
Liang He, who had returned the things to their owner, was now rushing back to the Fu Mansion.
If she had called a carriage earlier, she wouldn't be so hot and tired now.
"I can't take it anymore. I need to rest for a while." Liang He saw a herbal tea shop not far away and went in to sit for a while.
"Waiter, give me a bowl of herbal tea."
A veiled woman came to the herbal tea shop with a soft voice, which aroused the curiosity of the people in the shop.
"Who is this woman?"
"He looks like a wealthy person..."
"Looking at the outline, he looks good..."
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors to see who..."
Judging from the clothes of these people who were talking, they didn't look like locals, but more like foreign vendors.
Liang He felt a little uncomfortable when he heard these voices. He didn't even drink the cold tea. He put down the silver and left.
Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with these people.
"Xiao Hezi, don't go down the alley, take the main road."
"Uh-huh."
When Liang He stood up, one of the people in the group also stood up at the same time. He looked triumphantly at the people around him and followed him up.
"Xiao Hezi! Someone is following you, be careful!"
"System, I can't walk anymore."
Liang He was trying to walk as fast as possible, and when he reached the street, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"System, are you still following?"
"No, I didn't see it."
Liang He still felt that something was wrong, so she walked around the street twice, heading towards crowded places.
When she passed by the pharmacy, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to bring a thank-you gift to Doctor Fang.
Then, she went to Tianhua Restaurant and ordered a pot of Lantern Drunk.
"I want a pot of lantern drunk."
This voice sounds familiar?
Song Ji hid on the first floor of the restaurant and saw Liang He with her face covered with a veil.
Before Song Ji could think more, the target person appeared.
After she left, a man in black also took away a pot of lantern wine.
"General, the wine has been spiked with drugs." A male voice sounded.
——
Liang He took the wine and went into the pharmacy.
However, Doctor Fang was not there, but he saw Lu Xiujin and Miss Yuan Lian.
"Lianlian, why don't you look at me? You're staring at these herbs all day long. Are the herbs as pretty as me?"
"The herbs look good, but you..." Yuan Lian paused, "Not good-looking."
Yuan Lian turned her head away, but Liang He saw that her ears were slightly red.
Was she interrupting?
"Miss Yuan Lian, this is the thank-you gift I promised to give to Doctor Fang. Please tell him for me. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye." Liang He handed the wine to Yuan Lian and left without looking back.
Lu Xiujin wanted to ask if it was the girl from the Fu family, but he saw that she had already left.
"Is she the young lady from the Fu family who was injured by the soup and Song Ji helped her block the cup?" Lu Xiujin asked.
"It's her." Yuan Lian saw that he looked thoughtful and couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Why, do you like her?"
It was a rare occasion for Yuan Lian to retort him, so Lu Xiujin narrowed his eyes and replied with a smile: "I like... you."
When Yuan Lian heard the word "like", she was undoubtedly panicked. But when she heard the last word "you", she felt inexplicably happy.
"You hooligan, you shameless guy." Yuan Lian replied pretending to be calm.
"Their fate is just like you and me. They can meet each other no matter what. They are destined to be together." Lu Xiujin sighed, while Yuan Lian had already gone into the backyard with the wine.
Lu Xiujin saw the lantern Liang He brought over and wondered if Song Ji was also at Tianhua Restaurant. Could the two of them be having sex again?
"Lianlian, let me help you get it in."
————
Liang He thought that the man might have been lost, so he took a detour back to Fu's house.
Unexpectedly, I met a drunkard.
"Beauty~" The man was wearing a black linen shirt and had a blush on his face. He looked drunk.
"Go away, don't block the road." Liang He said lightly.
"Beauty, not only is she beautiful, but she also drinks well. This lantern is also good for drinking...drink...drink."
"Sir, please don't make things difficult for a weak woman like me. Can you please give way?" Liang He smiled brightly.
The system knew that this was a sign of her anger.
When that person heard the soft and gentle voice, his eyes darkened and he looked at Liang He even more wantonly.
"My beauty, let me take care of you." As he said this, he reached out and hugged her. Liang He saw this and dodged, not being touched.
"Don't let me use force. Don't blame me if it hurts." The man in black linen clothes reached out and pulled Liang He over.
Liang He felt that the man's grip was very strong and her arm suddenly began to hurt.
He also pulled up her veil and threw it aside.
"Sure enough, she's a beauty! Hahaha! I won big by winning the rock-paper-scissors game this time!"
When Liang He heard this, he immediately thought of those strange people in the herbal tea shop.
Thinking of this, Liang He quickly snatched the wine jug from the man's hand with his other hand, turned around and hit him hard on the head.
His face was inevitably scratched by the fragments and was bleeding.
The wine in the jug also spilled onto himself.
The man didn't expect that his wine jug was stolen and hit on the head by the woman, and he immediately became angry.
"You damn bitch! How dare you...dare to hit me?!"
When the man let go because of the pain, Liang He kicked him again and ran away.
She didn’t check the almanac and it’s not a good time to go out today!!!
The man saw her running away and chased after her.
Liang He had already walked for half a day today and his strength was gradually exhausted.
Just when Liang He was thinking about how to escape the disaster, Song Ji appeared.
"Miss Fu?" Song Ji looked over and smelled the aroma of alcohol. He saw that Liang He's face was scratched and had thin bloodstains. One side of her hair was wet, and the white clothes on her shoulders were also wet. She looked very embarrassed, but her eyes were not as panicked as he thought.
"Song Ji?" Liang He was surprised when he saw Song Ji.
If she followed the way she addressed Song Ji, Fu Jinchu would have called him "General Song".
"Why are you..." here?
Before Liang He could say anything, Song Ji pulled him aside, drew his sword and stabbed the man in black linen clothes who was trying to escape.
Liang He heard the sound of the man falling to the ground and looked at the other man who stabbed the man to death.
Song Ji was wearing a black brocade robe, his hair untied, clad in a wooden hairpin. He held a scabbard in his hand. He walked over, pulled the sword from the body, wiped the blood off with a cloth, and placed it back in the scabbard. His movements were fluid, his eyes serious and earnest. The sunlight was bright, and the gold embroidery on his black robe shone slightly, dazzling Liang He.
"Thank you, General Song, for saving my life again." Liang He thought about it, then lowered his head to Song Ji, bent over, and clasped his hands together.
Seeing her so chivalrous, Song Ji raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"Why did you come out?" Song Ji asked as he asked his subordinates to carry the body away.
"Looking for you." Liang He said "Looking for you" without thinking and blurted out with a smile.
This time, Song Ji was surprised. She had clearly gone to see Uncle Fang and even brought some wine. How could she have gone to see him?
He wanted to refute the girl, but seeing Liang He's smiling eyes and her embarrassed look, he thought better of it.
Liang He was a little angry when she saw his expression of "I don't believe it, but you take it as if I do". She walked for an hour to find him to return the jade pendant. This was a real thing!
System: Then you are not really looking for him, you are just returning the jade pendant.
Liang He originally had no intention of meeting Song Ji under the pretext of returning the jade pendant, so it wasn't really looking for him.
"Really, I came to you to return the jade pendant." Liang He wanted to use someone else to let Song Ji know that he had returned the jade pendant, but seeing his "unbelieving" look, Liang He said it subconsciously.
As expected, when he heard about the jade pendant, Song Ji looked at Liang He in surprise.
It really fell that night.
"Where is the jade pendant?" Song Ji asked hurriedly.
"I returned it to your house, but you're not here." Liang He looked at him and answered with some disappointment.
Song Ji felt relieved. He had been searching for a long time, but he didn't expect to find her with Miss Fu.
However, looking at Liang He's lonely look, he looked very much like those wives he had seen who came to the military camp to deliver clothes to their husbands and left in disappointment because they couldn't see their husbands.
Thinking of this, Song Ji felt a little embarrassed.
"Well... ahem, you have already returned the jade pendant to me, so go back home quickly. It's not safe for a woman like you to go out here." Song Ji saw that Liang He was wet with wine and wanted to ask her to go back and change clothes. After all, there were other people here, and it would be bad for her reputation if they saw her.
Liang He thought he was going to drive her away in a hurry, and she felt unhappy immediately. Thinking that she had been out for a long time, she casually said "Oh" and then went back home through the alley.
"Clean up this place first, and check the identities of this person and those people in the herbal tea shop." After Song Ji gave the instructions, he thought of her unhappy face and what had just happened. He was worried that something might happen to her, so he secretly followed her and picked up the white veil that fell on the ground.
Fuzhou and Fude, who were watching their general secretly follow, looked at each other with wide eyes, and then burst into laughter as Song Ji walked away.
“Hahahahahaha!”
"puff!"
"You said, this general doesn't know how to seize the opportunity."
"Hey, our general only likes his confidants."
"Oh, that sword."
