Just as Fang Zheng and his group were about to return to the yamen, a sound like a silver bell suddenly came from behind them.
"Master Fang, please stay..."
He saw the unconscious woman in the clinic, leaning weakly against the door frame, looking at him, and it seemed that she had been here for a long time.
"I am Bai Yi, thank you Lord Fang for saving my life..."
"Xiao Tao, go and help her." Fang Zhengyi was feeling very confused and in no mood. He just wanted to get back to the yamen as soon as possible and make arrangements for the people below.
If I go to Beijing, I might not be able to come back in a short time.
The generosity of this reward made him feel even more uneasy. Being conferred a title was already a huge reward.
Now he was appointed Junior Chancellor of the Chancellery, and something seemed amiss in everything.
Xiao Tao walked over to Bai Yi and supported her: "Miss, if you have anything to say, please talk to my young master later. Now is not the right time."
Bai Yi's body was obviously not fully recovered yet. She cleared her throat twice, bowed and said, "My family members were all killed in the flood... Now we have nowhere to go. Bai Yi is willing to stay with you to repay your kindness."
Fang Zheng glanced at Bai Yi. She had regained consciousness, her facial features became more lively, and her already beautiful face became even more spiritual.
"Bai Yi...? How do you know that it was me who saved you?" Fang Zhengyi felt that something was not right not only about the imperial edict, but also about this woman.
Although she was extremely beautiful, Mr. Fang had seen and eaten a lot of things in his previous life, so he was not unable to control himself.
Be especially vigilant about anything that is delivered to your door.
This woman has an extraordinary temperament and appearance, and she wants to be my slave right away... Haha, you wish!
"Bai Yi woke up several times, and it was the doctor who told me that Lord Fang saved me."
Bai Yi knelt on the ground weakly, her breathing still a little uneven.
"Well, stand up and talk. Where are you from and what do you do?"
"Your Excellency...I am from Jianjiang Prefecture. My family is in the porcelain business. All my family members died in the flood...I am the only one left. Fortunately, I was saved by Your Excellency Fang."
Bai Yi started sobbing as she spoke, looking very pitiful.
The crying was sad and the emotions were sincere. Xiao Tao felt a sense of empathy. Her own parents also passed away early. If she had not met Fang Zhengyi, she would have been in a miserable situation.
Thinking of this, he hurried over to comfort Bai Yi.
Fang Zheng observed carefully and found that it didn't seem fake. He had seen many people in Taoyuan County whose parents died early, and their performance was generally the same...
But when he heard her mention the word "porcelain", Fang Zheng suddenly felt overwhelmed. If it weren't for Li Long, the porcelain merchant, his stable life would not have been disrupted!
So he said impatiently: "Oh, I see. Now the flood in Jianjiang has been resolved. You can go home after you recover from your illness."
"Xiao Tao, remember to arrange some travel expenses for her when you leave."
"Let's go! Let's go back to the government office!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Bai Yi standing there in a daze...
Looking at Fang Zhengyi's receding back, Bai Yi touched her pretty face and began to doubt her life.
In the sixteen years since I was born, I have never been treated with such disrespect. Even when my family was destroyed, no man had ever been so rude to me.
Is she not interested in women? Am I ugly?
While I was thinking, Fang Zhengyi actually came back from afar!
Seeing Fang Zhengyi, Bai Yi's face suddenly flashed with joy.
Sure enough, he was pretending! All men in the world are the same, playing hard to get.
Seeing Fang Zheng walk in, Bai Yi adjusted his expression and returned to his sad and resentful look.
"Master Fang..."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, when you return to Jianjiang and take care of your business, remember to send back the travel expenses and medical bills."
"Girl, although I feel the same way about your loved one's death, the landlord doesn't have any surplus food. I hope you can understand. Xiaotao, let's go!"
After saying that, Fang Zhengyi turned around and left again.
"......"
Bai Yi's face suddenly flushed, and as she looked at Fang Zhengyi's receding back, her eyes widened like bells...
"Cough, cough, cough...!" Suddenly, Bai Yi covered his mouth and started coughing violently, with a trace of blood flowing down through his fingers.
In an instant, Bai Yi was surrounded by a huge embarrassment.
I have never been humiliated like this in my life! A mere county magistrate... actually humiliated me like this!
But when I think about how he was conferred a title at such a young age, and will be in the Zhanshi Mansion in the future...
Bai Yi clenched his fists in shame and anger, looked at Fang Zhengyi's back, pursed his lips, gritted his teeth, and staggered after him.
Xiaotao and others were walking on the road ahead.
Fang Zhengyi was still cursing, "That damn sedan bearer actually ran away! He only gave him half of the money when he went to the county government office to collect it! Do you understand?"
"Oh" Zhang Biao looked back and said, "Master, that woman is following us."
"Huh?" Fang Zheng looked back and found that Bai Yi had actually followed him.
He took two breaths with every step he took, and it looked like he was having a very hard time.
"Hiss... You're still chasing me after all this? Are you trying to get me back? Run! Go back quickly!"
After saying that, Fang Zhengyi and the other two started running forward.
Bai Yi chased after him, and when he saw Fang Zheng turning around, he immediately put on a smile and was about to raise his hand to call out, but he saw Fang Zheng turn his head away and run away!
Bai Yi stood there in a daze, his heart suddenly felt like a seasoning box had been overturned, sour, bitter, spicy but no sweetness, this was a brand new experience he had never had in his life.
