"Zheng You will not be able to leave the capital alive this time. As for Li Jue, he has already been dealt with by the Embroidered Uniform Guard."
Speaking of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Xiao Liu paused for a moment before continuing, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard came because of the Wind and Rain Pavilion; they think Miss Fang has something to do with us."
Xiao Liu knew everything that happened inside the county government office.
The people from Fengyulou were already deployed outside the county government office. When the county magistrate tried to harm Fang Qing, even without Fan Li's intervention, the people from Fengyulou would have dealt with that bastard.
"My lord, what do you think should be done about the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
Zhao Shi'an, however, acted as if he hadn't heard, and walked forward with a sullen face.
"master?"
Zhao Shi'an finally stopped.
"Xiao Liu, do you think Fang Qing would agree if Fang Zhu really proposed to her?"
"this……"
How was he supposed to answer that?
"Miss Fang is not engaged. If a suitable suitor proposes to her family, they should be able to..."
Xiao Liu didn't finish speaking because Zhao Shi'an's face had already turned quite gloomy.
"Have someone keep Fang Zhu occupied and prevent him from returning to An County for the next six months."
"ah?"
Zhao Shi'an had already strode away.
Xiao Liu looked miserable, not knowing who to confide in.
Zhao Shi'an returned to Fangjia Village that day.
Fang Qing didn't mention a word about what happened during the day, which made Zhao Shi'an glance at her several times during the meal.
Fang Qing always reported good news and never bad news, which Zhao Shi'an disliked very much.
He wanted Fang Qing to tell him everything, especially what happened today.
He wanted to bear all of Fang Qing's emotions.
He tentatively asked a few questions about his trip to the county town today, but Fang Qing quickly changed the subject.
Zhao Shi'an was almost unable to control his emotions.
After dinner, they sat in the courtyard to cool off. Zhao Shi'an didn't say a word, and Fang Qing then realized that he was in low spirits.
"Brother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Zhao Shi'an looked up and his gaze fell on her face, but he still didn't say anything.
"Brother, if there's anything you need to tell me, please do."
Zhao Shi'an suddenly asked, "What about you? Do you tell me things too?"
Fang Qing didn't know why Zhao Shi'an suddenly asked that question, and nodded subconsciously.
Zhao Shi'an stared at her for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
"Little liar."
She clearly didn't tell him anything.
He didn't tell her when he encountered trouble, and he didn't tell Fang Zhu when he met him again.
What was his status in Fang Qing's heart?
Fang Qing looked at Zhao Shi'an.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
She put on a charming look that made it impossible for anyone to be angry with her.
Zhao Shi'an pinched her cheek.
"You really don't plan to tell me about what happened in the county town?"
This surprised Fang Qing.
"Brother, you found out?"
Zhao Shi'an snorted.
"How could I not know? There was such a commotion in the county town, otherwise why do you think I came back today?"
Fang Qing looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just didn't want you to worry."
"But I just want to worry."
He looked intently into Fang Qing's eyes.
"ah?"
Fang Qing always felt that there were other emotions in his eyes that she couldn't understand.
Zhao Shi'an avoided her probing gaze.
"If something like this happens again, you must tell me immediately. Otherwise, if I hear it from someone else, I will only worry more."
"good."
Fang Qing tilted her head and moved closer to Zhao Shi'an's face.
"Brother, you're not angry anymore, are you?"
"When have I ever really been angry with you?"
After Zhao Shi'an said that, Fang Qing realized that Zhao Shi'an had never lost his temper with her before. Even when he was angry, he would be coaxed by her and it would be over in a few words.
She took Zhao Shi'an's arm.
"Brother, you're so kind."
Xiaodou even exaggeratedly claimed that he was a major villain, but his villainous value dropped easily and hasn't changed over the years.
Thinking about it, she leaned her head on Zhao Shi'an's shoulder.
Zhao Shi'an pushed her away.
"Don't try to fob me off with that kind of talk."
"Brother, you are really good to me, and you are very important to me."
Zhao Shi'an didn't say anything more, but his eyes were full of smiles and tenderness.
He's just that unprincipled; he's easily fooled by Fang Qing.
The moonlight was beautiful. Fang Daniu and his wife sat at the gate of the courtyard talking to someone, while Fang Qing and Zhao Shi'an sat under the eaves.
"Brother, there's actually something else I haven't told you."
"explain."
"Mian'er, do you still remember?"
"Um."
“Last time I went to Ma Family Village, I encountered some trouble. It was because Mian’er’s old enemies were chasing him, and I happened to step in to save him.”
Zhao Shi'an looked at her, waiting for her to continue.
“Mian’er’s identity is not simple. He seems to be related to Fengyulou. The Jinyiwei came here to investigate Fengyulou. I don’t know if they think I have a connection with Fengyulou because I saved Mian’er.”
"It's alright, the Embroidered Uniform Guards won't make things difficult for you because of the Wind and Rain Tower incident."
Zhao Shi'an's tone was so certain that Fang Qing couldn't help but meet his eyes.
"Why?"
"Because I know you have nothing to do with Fengyulou, silly girl."
"Aren't the Embroidered Uniform Guards supposed to be unreasonable? What if they come after me?"
Zhao Shi'an rubbed her head.
"It's okay, I'll protect you."
Fang Qing smiled.
"Okay, this is what my brother said. Brother, you have to protect me."
