Zhao Shi'an, dressed in a scholar's robe and holding a book in his hand, looked up when he heard the noise.
"elder brother?"
Zhao Shi'an also stood up.
Are you alright?
What are you doing here?
They asked the question at the same time.
Zhao Shi'an stared at her intently, and Fang Qing had no choice but to answer first.
"I'm fine. Gao Ren arrested me because of Fengyulou. The people from Fengyulou rescued me, and Gao Ren left."
Her tone was light and cheerful, and she subconsciously hugged Zhao Shi'an's arm, a prelude to her acting coquettishly.
"Brother, do you know? This time it's not my fault, it's that Gao Ren..."
Zhao Shi'an pinched her cheek.
“I know. The coachman came to inform me after your accident. It was also the people from Fengyulou who told me to come here and wait for you.”
"Do Father and Mother know?"
She disappeared for a day and two nights. Wouldn't Fang Daniu and his wife be frantic with worry when they found out?
"No, I sent someone back to tell them you'd stay in the county town for two days, and they didn't think much of it."
Fang Qing breathed a huge sigh of relief.

“I’ve already said I have nothing to do with Fengyulou. What if he locks me up in jail and interrogates me? I don’t know anyone from Fengyulou.”
"Gao Ren said he would see me again when he left. What if he comes back to get me again, since he's so persistent?"
Zhao Shi'an gently patted her head reassuringly.
"Don't be afraid, he won't bother you anymore."
His tone was certain, and Fang Qing couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.
"The people from Fengyulou assured me that they were the ones who dragged you down in this matter, and they will arrange for someone to protect you properly from now on."
"It's really troubled by the people at Fengyulou."
"That's what they should do."
Fang Qing quickly covered his mouth.
"Brother, don't say anything more. It wouldn't be good if they heard us. Tonight I saw the leader of the Wind and Rain Pavilion. He was wearing a ghost mask and didn't look like someone easy to get along with."
Zhao Shi'an's lips twitched.
However, there was no way to refute it.
