Zhong Changyao noticed Fan Miaozhou's expression and changed the subject: "King Zhou, what happened?"
Fan Miaozhou followed his words and told Zhong Changyao what had just happened. He then raised his finger and pointed at the waiter who was knocked unconscious by Ming Ruzhen and thrown into the corner.
Fan Zhi had already pulled Xie Shizhu aside and started whispering to him.
"Sister, actually, my brother is a stubborn person. You know that you two are going to marry each other, and he is very reluctant. But in this short period of time, he has looked at you seven or eight times, and he actually wants to marry you."
Fan Zhi knew Fan Miaozhou very well. She blinked and said, "Why don't you set the wedding date soon? I really like the beef from Yue Country. It's much more tender than ours."
Xie Shizhu stared at Fan Zhi's cute pink cheeks, and her expression became complicated when she thought of her death at the hands of Xie Ji while she was pregnant with Zhong Changyao's child.
Then, she distanced herself from Fan Zhi, her previous enthusiasm gone, and she said coldly, "No."
Fan Zhi was stunned. "My brother is also very good-looking. There are many girls who like him."
Xie Shizhu sneered in his heart again. So what if she is good-looking? She has a very vicious heart.
If she brought Fan Miaozhou into Yue Kingdom, wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?
The system quickly reminded: [It's too early! Fan Miaozhou isn't that old yet!]
Xie Shizhu said disdainfully, "You're talking as if he won't reach that age."
The system hesitated to speak, unable to refute the host's words.
Because what she said makes a lot of sense.
Zhong Changyao on this side learned that Fan Miaozhou was cheated by several waiters in Ning'an City. He quickly apologized and said it was a management error or something like that.
The two exchanged pleasantries.
Zhong Changyao said, "I will definitely seek justice for King Zhou."
Fan Miaozhou glanced at Xie Shizhu, who was not far away, and his eyes changed slightly. "No need. Your Majesty has already sought justice for me. I owe Your Majesty a favor, and I will definitely repay it one day."
Zhong Changyao was slightly startled and also looked at Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu endured the gazes of the male lead and the second male lead in the plot. She rubbed her arms and felt a little uneasy.
Don't get involved with these two men!
Xie Shizhu took a deep breath and said with a forced smile, "It's very late at night. I need to rest. I'll go upstairs first."
After she finished speaking, she wiped the oil stains from the corners of her mouth without paying attention to the gazes of these people, quickly lifted up her skirt, and ran upstairs.
As soon as she left, Zhong Changyao's expression returned to its usual gentleness: "Rest early, I'm here and will not let King Zhou get hurt."
Fan Miaozhou exchanged a few polite words and then took Fan Zhi upstairs.
As they left, Zhong Changyao looked at Ming Ruzhen in front of him and said in a cold voice, "Why would Your Majesty help them? Also, where is Xie Ji after we leave the palace?"
Ming Ruzhen only answered about Xie Shizhu's action of punishing evil and promoting good. As for the remaining questions, she replied to Zhong Changyao with the four words "I know nothing about it".
Zhong Changyao just glanced at her and didn't ask any more questions. He walked out of the inn directly and no one knew where he went.
Ming Ruzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
*
Xie Shizhu didn't wake up until noon the next day.
The first thing she wanted to ask was where Xie Ji had gone.
I haven't seen Xie Ji for nearly three days.
Is he still alive?!
Xie Shizhu was not sure.
The only thing she was afraid of was that Zhong Changyao would arbitrarily accuse Xie Ji of a crime and kill him.
Or, on a dark and windy night, he could just kill Xie Ji in secret.
However, Xie Ji is a martial arts expert, and Zhong Changyao may not be his opponent.
During the day, she needed to go with a few people to check out the problems in several nearby cities.
Afterwards, she rode a horse with Zhong Changyao and Ming Ruzhen to Jincheng next door.
Jincheng is considered the most prosperous place in Yue Kingdom.
The market was crowded with people.
It's also very lively, with stalls selling all kinds of things.
Xie Shizhu suddenly forgot his real purpose, quickly got off the horse, and hurriedly shuttled through the crowd.
She picked up rouge and powder, then bought a few hairpins. Almost all of them were bought by Mingyuezhen as long as she liked them.
In less than half an hour, Mingyue really couldn't hold him any longer with her arms.
Xie Shizhu gave some instructions and asked Zhong Changyao to take half of the things in Mingyuezhen's hand.
There was a hint of helplessness in Zhong Changyao's eyes, and he had to follow Xie Shizhu's arrangements.
Now Xie Shizhu can shop with peace of mind.
She suddenly thought of the tight treasury, pursed her lips, and stopped buying things. Instead, she stopped and stood in front of a small stall.
The season at this time is spring.
There are also many stalls selling kites.
Xie Shizhu set her eyes on a kite with a dragon painted on it. She hesitated for a moment and then took the kite in her palm.
She couldn't let it go and felt it was very suitable for Xie Ji.
Xie Shizhu asked the price. The stall owner saw that she had never taken her eyes off the kite. He rolled his eyes and made a palm gesture to Xie Shizhu.
The woman's eyes widened in disbelief, "A kite costs five taels of silver, and you went to rob it, and you even gave me a kite as a gift?"
The stall owner narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Girl, this is purely handmade, it's worth the price."
Zhong Changyao saw that she liked it so much, so he was ready to buy it for her. Then the woman's voice made him stunned for a moment, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes when he looked at the woman.
Xie Shizhu immediately put down the kite and put his hands on his hips. "Are you trying to trick me? I just saw the same one at the stall opposite you. It only costs eight cents. Okay, then I'll go buy it from you. If I had known, I would have bought it earlier. Why are you here?"
