A girl in a white silk shirt and a red silk skirt stood under a large tree with lush branches and leaves. Although the gorgeous sunlight was filtered by the branches and leaves and only sparsely penetrated, it still cast a faint halo around the girl.
The beauty is like a dream, so beautiful.
The young man opposite forgot to blink, as if the person who was so close to him would disappear in a blink of an eye.
Jiang Zhan coughed heavily.
He is still alive, what are these two people doing?
Yu Qi glanced at Jiang Zhan, the flickering fire in his eyes was concealed by the dark ink, making his eyes look like the finest black jade, dark and bright.
Jiang Zhan couldn't help but sigh.
This guy is so good-looking, it's so easy for him to hook up with naive girls!
Yu Qi nodded to Jiang Si and said, "Hello, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Si lowered her eyes to hide her emotions, bowed slightly as a courtesy, and said to Jiang Zhan in a light tone: "Since second brother's friends are here, I won't disturb you guys. I'll go back first."
"Okay, fourth sister, go back first." Seeing Jiang Si's cold attitude, Jiang Zhan felt a little embarrassed again. Seeing Jiang Si walking towards the Dongping Marquis's Mansion, he turned his head to Yu Qi and said, "Don't mind, brother Yu Qi. My fourth sister is more quiet in front of strangers..."
"That's what a girl should do—"
Before Yu Qi finished his words, the big dog rushed out and instantly reached Jiang Si like a gust of wind, biting the hem of her skirt and refusing to let go.
Jiang Si was helpless as she tugged at the hem of her skirt and shouted, "Let go!"
The big dog let go of his mouth in grievance, turned around and barked at Yu Qi.
"Erniu, come back!" Yu Qi shouted with frown, obviously not expecting the big dog to do such a thing.
Jiang Si glanced at Yu Qi and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry. I didn't teach you well." Yu Qi said in a serious tone, and then emphasized: "Erniu, come back soon!"
"Woof——" the big dog barked at Yu Qi in a drawn-out voice, his eyes revealing a bit of disappointment.
Jiang Zhan wanted to beat this bastard to death, and gritted his teeth and said, "Stop barking, or Brother Yu Qi will stew you and eat your meat if you don't behave!"
The big dog gave Jiang Zhan a blank look, meaning, what can you do to me?
Jiang Zhan immediately went to complain to Yu Qi: "Brother Yu Qi, please take care of your Erniu and stop scaring my sister."
"Erniu!" A frost covered Yu Qi's face.
The big dog immediately realized that his owner was really angry. After thinking for a while, he suddenly jumped up, bit off the ginger-like purse tied around his waist, turned around and ran away.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
After a while, a gust of wind blew the falling magnolia flowers onto Jiang Zhan's face.
Jiang Zhan woke up from his dream, walked to Jiang Si and asked anxiously, "Did it bite you?"
Jiang Si shook his head and glanced at Yu Qi coldly: "The dog he raised is so unruly, it shows that the owner is not that strong. Second brother should be more careful in making friends in the future."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, sighing deeply in her heart.
She likes Erniu very much, but doesn't want to have anything to do with Yuqi anymore.
In her previous life, she escaped from the clutches of Jiang Qian and his wife, but failed to return to the Anguo Mansion. Instead, she accidentally drifted to southern Xinjiang and became the granddaughter of a Wu Miao elder. She lived under the identity of Asan, the deceased saint of the Wu Miao tribe.
She secretly felt lucky to have a new life. In that strange place where the customs were completely different from those in the capital, no one knew her past. She could even choose a man she liked and marry him.
Yu Qi appeared at that time.
He was an old acquaintance of the Wu Miao elders and appeared before her again and again.
She didn't know when she fell in love with him.
After experiencing the marriage with the third son of the Duke of Anguo, she had long understood that power, status, vanity and respectability were not equal to happiness. If a woman gave herself up for these, she would often sow the seeds of bitterness.
Who could not like this handsome and unparalleled young man who was gentle and considerate to her, regardless of his background or wealth?
The sun was shining brightly that day, and the vast expanse of sunflower fields covered the sky and earth with golden color. The young man asked her, "Will you marry me?"
She nodded.
Who knew this bastard would actually commit marriage fraud!
He is not Yu Qi at all, but Yu Qi, the seventh son of the current emperor!
When she found out the other person's true identity, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head, and her first reaction was to raise her hand and slap the bastard in the face.
She was once the new widow of the Duke of Anguo's mansion whose husband had been killed. Now she was a Wu Miao woman thousands of miles away from the capital. Regardless of her identity, how could she marry the Seventh Prince of the current dynasty?
At that moment she felt no joy, only anger at being fooled.
Because she was really moved, her anger grew stronger and stronger, and she didn't stop until her hands were hurt.
The man who was beaten into a pig's head solemnly told her that since she had agreed, she could not regret it, and he would marry her in a formal ceremony and make her his wife.
She just sneered and told him to send her the imperial decree granting her marriage first, otherwise he should not appear in front of her again.
She has nothing left, so at least she cannot lose her last bit of dignity and become someone's concubine!
Jiang Si still cannot help but sigh at the strangeness of fate whenever he recalls this past event. Because the Wu Miao tribe had made great contributions in assisting the Zhou army in fighting against Nanlan, the emperor granted a marriage between the seventh prince and the saint girl of the Wu Miao tribe.
While she was still confused, she was dressed in a phoenix robe and became the consort of the seventh prince.
Only later did she find out that Yu Qi had always loved Asan, the saint girl of the Wu Miao tribe, and not Jiang Si.
Because they looked alike, they later had those deliberate interactions.
In two marriages, one was directly ignored, and the other was used as a substitute. Jiang Si felt so frustrated that he vomited blood just thinking about it.
However, she found out too late. By then, she and Yu Qi had already become a real couple and there was no escape for her.
Although Yu Qi was quite nice to her during those days, Jiang Si, who was fifteen years old again, just wanted to say:
Stay away from Ji Chongyi, stay away from scumbag!
Stay away from Yu Qi, stay away from that bastard!
Seeing the girl turn away in anger, the young man in blue looked at Jiang Zhan helplessly.
Jiang Zhan smiled to Yu Qi embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Brother Yu Qi, my sister may be in a bad mood. She is not like this usually. I'll go see her first, and we'll meet again another day."
Yu Qi nodded lightly at Jiang Zhan who waved to him hurriedly, but his eyes followed the girl's receding back without blinking.
She seems angry...
Jiang Zhan strode to catch up with Jiang Si, very puzzled: "Fourth sister, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Jiang Si tilted her head slightly to hide the tears in her eyes.
"You misunderstood Brother Yu Qi. Although we met at the brothel—"
Jiang Si stopped suddenly.
Jiang Zhan knew he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "Brother Yu Qi is not going to visit a brothel—"
"Don't explain!"
"But--"
"Explanation is a cover-up. Anyway, I think he is not a good friend. Second brother should avoid associating with him in the future."
That bastard was the most patient. Who knew what his purpose was in getting close to the second brother? She didn't believe it was a coincidence.
"But he saved my second brother's life. Fourth sister can't let my second brother be ungrateful, right?" Jiang Zhan finally said it under pressure.
