No matter how Hua Yuanzhao looked at him, he felt that he had bad intentions. Seeing him approaching without saying a word, alarm bells started ringing in his heart, and he unconsciously moved backwards.

Until her back hit a tree and she had no way to retreat, the person in front of her had already approached her, and the distance between them was only half a foot.

"You--" Hua Yuanzhao frowned and was about to warn the man, but the man suddenly stopped.

As if by magic, he took out a small purple flower from his hand and asked, "Is this what Miss Hua is looking for?"

Hua Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded to take it, but unexpectedly the man suddenly raised his arm.

The moment her fingertips missed the purple iris grass, Hua Yuanzhao's temples throbbed with anger, and she was almost certain that the person in front of her was deliberately teasing her.

"General Rong, purple iris is just an ordinary flower and can be found everywhere." Hua Yuanzhao said gritting his teeth.

"I'm in urgent need of it and have no intention of looking for another one. I'm willing to spend one or two taels of silver to buy the one you have. What do you think?" Hua Yuanzhao asked politely.

"You're talking to me about buying something?" Rong Xiu was caught off guard and sneered with disdain.

"My Zhenguo Mansion is short of this little tael of silver?"

"What do you want, General Rong?" Hua Yuanzhao frowned. "If General Rong is willing to give up, I will find ten plants within three days at the latest..."

"Call me sir and I'll give it to you." Rong Xiu interrupted her.

After a pause, he added, "Brother Xiu is also fine."

Veins on Hua Yuanzhao's forehead were throbbing, and he wanted to swear, but he didn't know whether to curse or not.

God damn Brother Xiu!

She shouldn't have treated this gangster as a serious person from the beginning!

"Do you want it?" Rong Xiu lazily shook the purple iris in his hand.

When faced with two evils, Hua Yuanzhao chose the lesser evil. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Rong Xiu handed the purple iris grass to Hua Yuanzhao with satisfaction, then put his hands behind his back and walked up the slope in a leisurely manner.

He stopped at the edge of the slope, turned around, and asked with a smile: "Miss Hua, do you need help?"

Hua Yuanzhao stood at the bottom of the slope with hatred, trying to imitate him and climb up the slope, but he fell into a small pit with every step, and the soil and rocks below the pit fell straight down, making it impossible for him to use any leverage.

When I looked up again, I saw the man squatting on top of it, his shoulders shaking with laughter, like a big cat showing off his power.

Hua Yuanzhao continued to grit his teeth and vowed to make this girl look good after he lost weight.

In the end, Rong Xiu walked down the steep slope, walked in front of Hua Yuanzhao and led the way, almost pulling her to the top of the slope.

Hua Yuanzhao dusted off his clothes and said perfunctorily and politely, "Thank you, General Rong."

"Young Master." Rong Xiu corrected dissatisfiedly.

By calling him "Young Master" without his surname, he can deceive himself into thinking that it is just a nickname.

"I am already engaged, so I should keep my distance from other men." Hua Yuanzhao lowered his eyes and said coldly.

The smile and dissatisfaction that had accumulated in Rong Xiu's eyes suddenly disappeared, but his face still had a cynical look.

"Okay, I'm just teasing you." He said with a giggle, not looking serious at all.

"I was clinging to you before because I was young and ignorant. After a few trips to the border, I saw life and death, and then I realized that love is nothing at all." He smiled and said, "Hua Yuanzhao, I have not liked you for a long time."

After a slight pause, he added: "But I still hope you can be well, so that I will not be in vain for liking you."

"That's good." Hua Yuanzhao nodded indifferently: "Since General Rong has this intention, please make it clear to Princess Lin'an. If your sister comes again, I will definitely not be polite."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left, not giving Rong Xiu any time to react.

As for Rong Xiu's last blessing, Hua Yuanzhao felt no ripples in his heart.

Birds of a feather flock together. With such a mother and sister, how could this person be a good one?

She turned around very quickly, without any hesitation, and did not notice Rong Xiu's expression change at the speed of light.

"What engagement? That guy Gu Changsu likes me, but his vision is problematic." After cursing Gu Changsu several times in his heart, Rong Xiu strode forward.

He walked very fast, as if on purpose, and soon he overtook Hua Yuanzhao and walked in front. The moment he overtook Hua Yuanzhao, he put his hands behind his back and raised his head.

Hua Yuanzhao: “…”
