Chapter 14
Song Ji walked away and didn't hear what Fude and Fuzhou said. If he had heard them, the two brothers would definitely have been beaten.
The alley is very long and there are not many people.
Song Ji walked for a while and caught up with Liang He.
"Your veil, I forgot to take it." Song Ji walked side by side with Liang He and handed it to Liang He.
Liang He took a look at the veil, reached out to take it back and said thank you.
Song Ji looked at her calm appearance and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Well...it's not safe for you to walk alone. Can I take you back?" Song Ji expressed his intention of coming here.
But this Fu Mansion didn't seem to be heading this way? Did she sneak out?
"How did you get out? Did you sneak out?" Song Ji asked the doubts in his heart.
"Yes, I was afraid that if my family knew about returning the jade pendant to you, it would bring you trouble, so I left through the back door." Liang He suddenly looked up at him, her hair caressing her cheek in the breeze, and the hair on her right shoulder was damp from the wine. Because of the heat, Liang He was sweating a lot.
Song Ji looked into Liang He's eyes, and suddenly saw himself in her eyes, and quickly turned his head.
"Ms. Fu, don't run out like this in the future. It's dangerous." Song Ji reminded Liang He again.
"Yeah, I got it." Liang He looked at Song Ji who turned around, and found him a little amused because he looked a little at a loss.
"General Song, we now know each other. Can we be considered friends?" Liang He asked.
Song Ji turned around upon hearing the voice and looked at Liang He with some expectation in his eyes. Her soft voice rang in his mind and he subconsciously replied, "We can be considered friends." He had not made friends with a woman yet. The only person he knew and had contact with was Xu Yin, but Uncle Fu said that she was a martial arts friend.
"Then why do you still call me Miss Fu?" Liang He lured him onto her boat step by step.
When Song Ji heard this, he opened his eyes wide and felt a little flustered and embarrassed. Suddenly, he seemed to have no idea what her name was.
He had only heard that the Fu family's legitimate daughter was called Fu Jinwan, and there was a concubine's daughter called Fu Jinxi. As for her name?
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Liang He felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw that he hadn't replied yet. He didn't even know her name? She had saved him that night, and he hadn't even bothered to check her background!
Isn't this the general pattern in books? A woman saves a man, and then the man is saved, and then he goes home and sends someone to investigate the woman's background.
Song Ji didn't even check on her!
Liang He suppressed his anger and said the name of his original body with a wronged look.
"My name is Fu Jinchu."
"Fu Jinchu?" Song Ji repeated it. He had vaguely heard of this name from others. It was said that she was a concubine's daughter adopted by Madam Yuan, which was a rare occurrence in the capital.
Then I saw Liang He's aggrieved expression and felt that this woman had a lot of emotions, sometimes panicked, sometimes lonely, and sometimes aggrieved.
However, even Song Ji himself did not expect that he had observed it quite carefully.
"Okay, Fu...Jinchu, I know your name." Originally, Song Ji wanted to call her Miss Fu, but she had already told him her name, and thinking of that aggrieved little expression, he changed his mouth and called her by her name.
Liang He felt a little down when she heard the name "Fu Jinchu," thinking Song Ji was still a little unfamiliar with her. However, she thought again, they had only just met for a short time, so there was no need to rush and take things slowly.
"Then General Song, please go back first. It's important to handle official business. I will be there soon. There is no need for you to send me back." Liang He intended to show her virtue and understanding, but it was just a gesture to leave a good impression on Song Ji. She didn't intend to drive Song Ji away.
But Song Ji heard Liang He's tone was a bit reluctant, and felt that Liang He didn't want to see him. He wanted to leave, but he thought that Liang He would run into those messy people again, and there would be danger. What should he do?
After thinking about it, I decided to send her back.
"Sending you back won't waste any time. Besides, isn't my position as a general meant to protect the people of Chu?"
Liang He listened to Song Ji's serious words and did not refuse. It was a good opportunity to have another chance to spend time together.
The two of them walked quietly for a while, feeling a sense of peace and tranquility.
Two figures, one black and one white, stood in this narrow, dark alley. Looking closer, the woman seemed petite, the man tall. The woman walked in front, the man behind, sword in hand. If one only looked at their faces, who wouldn't say they were a perfect match?
Liang He walked to the back door of the Fu Mansion, looked at Song Ji and told him to go back.
"General Song, I'm here." Liang He straightened his hair, lowered his head and smelled his right shoulder. The smell of alcohol on his body had almost dissipated.
"Okay." Song Ji followed Liang He's movements, his eyes looking towards Liang He's right shoulder, then accidentally saw her slender white neck. He looked up at her face which was wrinkled due to her strong sniffing, and after hearing Liang He speak, he spoke in a low voice.
Just as Song Ji walked away, his sleeve was pulled, and he heard Liang He calling him again, with some cautious requests.
"General Song, can you... do me a favor?" Liang He felt a little embarrassed when he thought about what he was going to do later.
Just when Liang He was about to push the door carefully, he found that the door could not be opened. He wanted to push harder, but he vaguely heard the discussion of the maids and the old women.
"Why do you think the young lady asked me to lock the back door? We usually sneak out from here. Did she find out that we go out often?" The maid was shocked. If the ladies found out that she didn't work but was lazy all the time, her life would be in danger!
"Oh, don't think too much about it. The eldest lady said that one of her maids went out for a secret meeting and ruined the reputation of the Fu family. She said that she would catch the person and punish him severely. Everyone who comes back today must inform the eldest lady and Madam Li." The old woman replied.
Liang He listened to their words and felt that Fu Jinxi had discovered that he had left the house, and was thinking about what to do.
Liang He: System, Fu Jinxi is always on the front lines, always keeping an eye on everything. How do I get in then?
System: Song Ji hasn't gone far yet, ask him for help. He's a skilled martial artist, and his wall-climbing skills are top-notch, as you've seen before.
Liang He said that she had seen it before. That night, he climbed over the wall silently and drew the sword silently, which almost took her life.
Thinking of this, Liang He saw that Song Ji had not gone far, so he quickly trotted over and grabbed his sleeve.
Only then did Song Ji hear these words, "General Song, can you do me a favor?"
Song Ji looked at Liang He who had returned the same way, and heard Liang He continue to say: "Well, I was discovered sneaking out, the door was locked, and I couldn't get in."
When Song Ji heard this, he looked at the tightly closed vermilion gate and then at the several-foot-high wall, and he immediately understood.
"You want me to take you over the wall?" Song Ji looked at the girl who was still pulling his sleeve. Her cautious expression made him unable to refuse. He also regarded it as a way to repay her for saving his life.
"Well, is that okay?" Liang He felt that Song Ji would agree. Given his warm-blooded and kind-hearted nature, he would always lend a hand when he saw injustice, especially since they were friends.
Yes, they start as friends and work their way up.
At this moment, Song Ji smiled silently, looked down at Liang He who was a little at a loss, and said "I'm sorry" in his heart. When he was about to hold her waist and go over the wall, Liang He spoke.
"You squat down, I'll step on you to climb up." Liang He originally wanted to let Song Ji take her over, but thinking that in ancient times, men and women were not allowed to touch each other, she felt that she should force herself to find another way to cross the wall.
Song Ji: ...
"Do you think you can get back down after you've made it up?" Song Ji held his forehead when he heard Liang He's request. With her lack of martial arts skills, she would definitely sprain her ankle if she jumped off the wall.
Liang He shook his head and said, "I can't turn it over." Looking at the hand extended by Song Ji, Liang He was secretly happy.
Physical contact can inadvertently increase the distance between two people.
Liang He pointed to the wall in front and said, "Climb over that side." It's not safe here.
"Okay." Song Ji didn't ask anything. He walked over with Liang He, held Liang He's waist, and climbed over the wall.
When she landed, Liang He realized that she had arrived at Fu Jinwan's house.
Fu Jinwan looked at Liang He and the man holding her with a wary look on her face.
"You, you two, what are you doing in secret?" Fu Jinwan originally wanted to say "secret meeting", but felt that it was not good to say it so bluntly, so he changed the sentence.
Fu Jinwan had never thought that Fu Jinchu and Song Ji would have any intersection in this life. As far as she knew, in her previous life, Fu Jinchu had met Song Ji once in Xiangli City, but they had never met again after that.
Song Ji also died on the battlefield at a young age.
Could it be that just because we met once in Xianglicheng, I could like you for so long?
Now Fu Jinwan increasingly believes that Fu Jinchu has also been reborn.
Liang He saw Fu Jinwan and turned to look at Song Ji's expression, which was only one of surprise and embarrassment, no other expression.
Song Ji didn't expect that he would be caught hugging his sister in front of her younger sister today, and his face turned red.
Song Ji quickly let go of Liang He's hand, scratched his head, and explained: "There is nothing between us, I just want to send her back home."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liang He added.
Fu Jinwan: I was completely in disbelief.
"General Song, the people have been sent here, and it's time for you to go back. If we are discovered by others, we won't be able to explain ourselves." Fu Jinwan started to drive him away.
"Well, goodbye." Song Ji also felt that the situation was a little inappropriate, so he climbed over the wall and went out.
After Song Ji left, Fu Jinwan looked at Liang He who was about to slip away and said to stop her, "Where are you going? Second sister."
Liang He didn't really want to face Fu Jinwan right now, as he had to be tested again.
"Wanwan, I feel a little tired and want to go back to Chuyuan to rest." Liang He originally thought that Fu Jinwan would let her go, but she didn't expect that Fu Jinwan's next words made her a little overwhelmed.
Fu Jinwan looked Liang He up and down, and after a while, she blurted out, "Are you...pregnant..."
Fu Jinwan looked at Liang He and saw that her clothes were a little messy, her hair was wet and smelled of alcohol, and her face was red, like a young girl who had just experienced sex.
She knew that General Song looked righteous, but in reality he was a playboy. Fu Jinwan thought about Song Ji, who had arrested her and embarrassed her in front of Lu Xiuyuan, and then she thought about how Song Ji had helped them out at Tianhua Restaurant.
Lu Xiuyuan was right, Song Ji was indeed two-faced.
A few days ago, Fu Jinwan, after the Tianhua Restaurant incident, thought Song Ji was a good person and praised him in front of Lu Xiuyuan. However, Lu Xiuyuan said sarcastically, "He's a double-faced person. On the surface, he's braver and more resourceful than him, but in reality, he's a little dumber." Of course, Lu Xiuyuan didn't say the latter part.
Fu Jinwan heard it, but thought Lu Xiuyuan's tone was a little strange, so she didn't take it to heart. But when she saw him today, she felt that Song Ji had long wanted to pursue Liang He.
Liang He didn't know what Fu Jinwan was thinking about Song Ji, and was shocked when he heard this.
Liang He: System, system, why would she think that we would... uh, think in that direction?
System: I think, relying on your women's intuition.
Liang He: Her intuition is really amazing!
System: Is this the heroine’s strength?
Liang He: Maybe.
Fu Jinwan waited for a long time. Seeing that Liang He didn't say anything, she wondered if she was too straightforward and became a little anxious. "I'm not saying anything, but you really don't have anything? Tell the truth."
Although she wanted Fu Jinchu to learn a lesson in this life and hated him just as much as Li Junlian did, in this life, Fu Jinchu didn't give his mother the poison sachet, and he even unhesitatingly blocked the bowl of hot soup for her. He remembered that she liked to eat red dates. Although these were small things, she felt that Fu Jinchu must have changed and become more likable.
"No, we are innocent. I just sneaked out to play, and the back door couldn't be opened, and I couldn't go in through the main door. It would be bad if I got caught. So I met General Song and asked him to take me in." Liang He looked at Fu Jinwan, whose eyes were fixed on him, and quickly waved his hand to explain.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but one of my maids went out for a tryst with her lover before, and she looked like you when she came back. Then a few days later I found out she was pregnant, and her lover didn't take responsibility." Fu Jinwan thought of her previous life. She found out that one of her cleaning maids sneaked out and got pregnant in just one night, and the lover didn't take responsibility. It was really sad and infuriating.
"If you act like this, our Fu family can't afford to lose face!" Fu Jinwan felt that she cared too much about Fu Jinchu, and added that she was not concerned about her, she was concerned about the reputation of the Fu family.
"I understand, Wanwan. Also, Fu Jinxi knows that I went out." Liang He knew that he was in the wrong and admitted his mistake positively.
Fu Jinwan looked at Liang He's cowardly expression and was angered again after hearing the last sentence. She had thought that after living a new life, her sister would be smarter, but she didn't expect her to be so stupid.
"You sleep here with me tonight." Fu Jinwan knew that Fu Jinxi wanted to find something to hold against their wife. The fact that Fu Jinchu ran away secretly was enough for them to accuse their mother of improper parenting.
"Okay." Liang He ran over excitedly and asked Chu Lan to pass the message to Chu Li.
"Fu Jinchu." Fu Jinwan called again.
"What's wrong?" Liang He looked at her puzzledly.
"Have you really liked Song Ji for two lifetimes?" She wanted to know the answer clearly.
"Didn't I answer you? I like him. Not only in this life, but also in the next life." Fu Jinchu said in the opposite direction with a smile.
Liang He never thought that he would still be her in the next life.
Fu Jinwan got an ambiguous answer, but when she saw Liang He's half-smile, she felt that she had already determined the answer in her heart.
"You know it's impossible for you two to be together. You're really hopeless!" Song Ji died in his previous life. What about this life? Maybe he would. And Fu Jinchu pretended to be crazy and lived a life on the farm in his previous life, just for him.
"Who said it's impossible for us?" Liang He said, and walked into Fu Jinwan's room.
Song Ji, who was eavesdropping outside the wall, still had a slightly red face. When he heard no more movement, he left.
He wasn't a double-faced person. If he really got a girl pregnant, he would take responsibility. And how could Fu Jinchu like him? How come he didn't notice? When did she start liking him?
I will still like you in my next life. You are such a frank girl and you are not ashamed.
