Fengguang, held in his arms, was even redder than before, her face filled with his pleasant scent. She heard his farewell voice as she drifted away from him, and finally gave up resisting, tilting her head to rest on his shoulder. This was the first time she felt that being a child was a wonderful thing.
At least they can obtain decent benefits.
But some people just don't know how to read the room. Lianzi walked over angrily, grabbed the corner of Shufeng's clothes, and shouted, "You scoundrel, let go of my young lady!"
The term "lecherous scoundrel" is completely unsuitable for Shu Feng.
Feng Guang looked up and said, "Lianzi, don't talk nonsense!"
Qi Yuan also came over and said coldly to Lianzi, "You must not be rude to the young master."
"I was rude! Who told him to touch our young lady like that? Come and bite me if you dare!" Lianzi, abandoning her usual timid demeanor, started yelling at Qi Yuan's deadpan face.
Qi Yuan could cure illnesses and argue with people, but he was helpless against this kind of shrewish woman. When he had no other choice, he would usually choose a silver needle to kill her, but now... he had some reservations and could only look at Shu Feng.
Shu Feng, however, remained calm and composed, and even smiled gently at Lian Zi, saying, "You are the glamorous personal maid, Lian Zi."
"So what if it is?"
"I heard that you were abandoned by your father at the gate of the Xia family mansion, and that's how the Xia family steward brought you into the mansion and made you serve Fengguang."
"What you're saying can be easily found out by asking anyone in the Xia family. Do you think you're so great just because you know my background?"
Shu Feng said slowly, "Perhaps I can help you find the father who abandoned you back then."
Lianzi's expression finally changed. She released her grip on Shu Feng's coat, took a few steps back, and said with a pale face, "Miss, I'll go find someone to rescue you!"
Then, she ran away in a flash.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Feng Guang's forehead. She then said to Shu Feng with a hint of reproach, "Before Lianzi came to the Xia family, she was constantly abused by her father. He would beat and scold her, and in severe cases, he would break her hands and feet. You really shouldn't have mentioned her father to scare her."
“So her father was this terrible.” Shu Feng said apologetically. “I originally thought that Lianzi would want to see her father so that he would be jealous of her doing well, but I didn’t expect there to be this other aspect.”
"Yes, that's why you can't just say things carelessly."
“Fengguang’s words make sense, I have learned something.”
Her face flushed red, feeling as if she were brandishing an axe in front of Lu Ban's door, and she also felt Qi Yuan's gaze, which was as sharp as a sword. She moved her body and said, "I want to go back. Please put me down quickly."
Shu Feng did as she asked and put her down. He smiled and asked, "Are you going back already?"
"I don't want Lianzi to actually call my dad over. Anyway, I'm relieved to see you're alright." She turned to leave, but he suddenly grabbed her wrist again.
Shu Feng placed a piece of candy in her palm. "This is a candy brought in by merchants from the Western Regions. I think Feng Guang will like it."
She blinked. "Why is there only one?"
Good things shouldn't be enjoyed all at once; it's precisely because they're rare that we cherish them, isn't it?
"Oh... I understand." Before leaving, she suddenly asked, "So if I come again next time, will you give me another one?"
He smiled gently, just like when they first met, "Of course."
