Zhizhi looked at her not-at-all-pretty little skirt, her hands shaking with anger, her facial expression changing again and again, anyone could see that she was really sad.
Xiaohong was only concerned about Zhizhi at this time, and she immediately accused the guard without knowing the truth.
"That's right, apologize to my wife, or at least pay her some money. How else can you explain why my wife's dress was fine when she left, but completely ruined when she came back?"
The master and the servant looked at each other with angry eyes, and the guard had a headache.
He, he just came to look for someone, but he ran into Zhizhi walking back on tiptoe halfway.
He was about to go over to help someone, but he ended up falling.
The guard had no time to explain, as Xiao Hong ran over with red eyes and glared at him angrily.
More than a dozen guards were very distressed.
What should I do?
Will the prince blame them when he comes back?
·
Xiaohong happily took the two taels of silver that the guards had forced upon her, and looked at Zhizhi with admiration.
"Ma'am, you are amazing."
After Zhizhi lost her temper, she felt uneasy.
She was worried about the two taels of silver.
When has Zhizhi ever been short of money?
She called a little maid and instructed her, "Return the silver to those people later, and bring me a cup of beauty soup."
The maid nodded.
When Nie Rong returned, dinner had not yet arrived.
The weather is getting hotter, and ice jars have been prepared in the house.
After he had his meal, he listened to Qing'an report on matters in the mansion.
"The lady in the side yard has gone back, and the things you asked to be delivered have been delivered."
Nie Rong asked casually, "Where did she go? Didn't she say she wasn't feeling well?"
Qing An replied, "I heard that he came back on his own, and the guards even paid for his clothes."
Nie Rong paused, "Money for the clothes?"
Qing An said, "It seems that the guards accidentally broke it when they were leaving, so they apologized."
Nie Rong frowned, "Did they still take action?"
The military camp had strict discipline, and the people he brought back were never allowed to attack women and children.
Qing An hesitated, "Probably."
But Zhizhi took the money and didn't make a fuss, so Qing'an didn't investigate further.
A trace of anger flashed between Nie Rong's eyebrows, and he rode towards the guards' quarters with great force.
Half an hour later.
Side yard.
"Madam just said she went to take a bath in the pool in the west courtyard."
Nie Rong looked a little embarrassed and nodded dignifiedly as he left under the curious gaze of the maid.
After the guards explained, Nie Rong finally understood what happened today and that the guards were not wrong.
Zhizhi's anger was probably not directed at the guards, but at him.
Nie Rong knew very well that Zhizhi had not been favored for many years, and he was panicked when he heard that the Prime Minister's daughter was about to marry into the family.
She was venting her anger on him.
Nie Rong was hesitant. He was not interested in women, and he didn't care about Zhizhi either.
If you just leave...
He pondered for a moment, then turned around and told Qing An,
"Go to the kitchen and get some fruits. Be sure to pick some that Madam will like, and add plenty of ice."
The weather is hot and humid, so it tastes better when it is chilled.
Qing'an agreed with a sad face, how would he know what Zhizhi liked to eat.
I haven't had much dealings with him over the years.
Nie Rong walked slowly towards the open-air pool in the west courtyard, thinking that he had to make some compensation.
Otherwise, when the future Princess Regent enters the palace, Zhizhi's life may not be easy.
After all, he had followed him for five years, and Nie Rong gradually had some plans in mind.
·
When Zhizhi received the fifty taels of gold from Nie Rong in the afternoon, she was calm.
Money is nothing to her.
The little fox is naturally fond of romance and liveliness.
She had been here for a long time, having so much fun that she even forgot about the mission.
However, the weather was hot and humid. Zhizhi, who had been exposed to the sun for a long time in the morning, found out that there was a cool summer resort in Zhixiao’s house, so she happily went there to play.
The west courtyard is backed by a mountain, and there is a clear pond behind the mountain.
When the palace was built, the drainage of living water was taken into consideration, so this place was transformed into a pool.
In the evening, the sun sets.
Perfect for bathing.
The little fox didn't even take off his clothes and jumped down happily, splashing a lot of water.
She swam and took off her clothes, and soon there was no hindrance at all.
It was at this time that Nie Rong came.
He waited for Qing'an to bring the fruits and vegetables, and then took Qing'an in.
As soon as I stepped in, a thin white arm stretched out from underwater, followed by a white-
!!!
Nie Rong's pupils suddenly shrank. He turned around suddenly and kicked Qing An, who was blocking him tightly, out.
Qing'an didn't even have time to shout before the person was already three meters away.
With a snap, the door closed from the inside.
Hearing a strange sound, Zhizhi turned around and looked over. She thought it was Xiaohong.
"Xiaohong, come down and help me wipe my back."
The result was a man with a cool, sharp appearance, and a tall and imposing figure.
The man's eyes were heavy and his temperament was fierce. He was not someone she recognized.
She pouted with displeasure and asked confidently, "Where's Xiaohong? What are you doing here? Can't you see I'm taking a shower?"
Nie Rong's throat tightened, and he looked away in embarrassment, his voice suddenly becoming hoarse.
"You mean the maid who served you just now? I asked her to prepare some dry clothes for you."
At this moment, Nie Rong seemed to realize that something was wrong.
He turned his head, looked at Zhizhi who was still a little angry with deep eyes, and suddenly said,
"I'll help you wipe it."
Zhizhi looked at him doubtfully, "Can you do it? If you use too much force, you'll hurt me. You should ask Xiaohong to come back."
But as he was speaking, the tall man had already gotten into the pool.
He looked serious and wiped the cloth carefully as if he was handling a matter of state.
"You hurt me!"
Zhizhi was very angry. She raised her eyes and glared at Nie Rong angrily, with a charming look in her eyes, and she was filled with love.
The little fox angrily picked up his clothes, put them on quickly and left.
As he walked, he called out, "Xiaohong, Xiaohong, where are you? I want some water. I'm thirsty."
Nie Rong suddenly closed his eyes and sank to the bottom.
After Zhizhi left, Qing'an waited outside the door for a full hour before Nie Rong came out with wet clothes.
He followed Nie Rong carefully, and Nie Rong looked back.
"Where's the fruit plate?"
"The lady took it away when she saw it," Qing'an said.
"She likes it?" Nie Rong raised his eyebrows.
Qing An nodded, "Madam said she wants to eat it again next time."
Nie Rong nodded to indicate that he understood.
It was very late, late enough for Qing'an to feel sleepy.
He heard Nie Rong's voice from inside the house, "Send another portion of fruit to Madam tomorrow, and give her half of my ice."
Qing'an quickly agreed.
Inside the room, Nie Rong took out a piece of cloth that had been stuffed into his sleeve.
That was what Zhizhi forgot before she left.
The pattern of the cloth was exquisite, with Zhizhi's name written underneath.
The man lowered his head, but there was no cloth at all.
That is a small piece of clothing.
