Following this enthusiastic voice, what happened in Zhige two days ago was repeated. A figure suddenly appeared again and sat down at the same table with Fengming and the others in a familiar manner. Yes, the person was Zhu Shiqing!
"Phew~ I'm so thirsty. You guys have been making it so hard for me to find you these past few days."
Even his actions were exactly the same as the previous two days. He picked up a cup of tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Hey, why are you still so rude? Last time you showed up out of nowhere and ate and drank our food, and you're here again today!"
Recognizing that it was Zhu Shiqing, Feng Xiyun started to criticize her angrily. He thought that he had some conscience that day, but in the end he embarrassed the girl as soon as he returned.
"Hey, aren't we friends? Friends still care about this."
"Who is your friend, you irresponsible person?"
Zhu Shiqing could tell that Feng Xiyun's tone was not right. Although he suddenly ran over to disturb their meal that day and Feng Xiyun didn't like him, it wasn't a state of blatant disgust.
He then carefully examined the people at the table and realized that they all looked at him with unfriendly eyes. In addition, one of them was holding a large jar. It seemed, as if, he had vaguely seen him before...
"Ah! You, you, you are Gu...Gu Gu Gu..."
"What are you saying, you're a chicken!"
Lin Qing had naturally recognized him a long time ago and gave him a disgusted look.
"No, you mean the manager of the Gu family!"
Feng Xiyun slapped Zhu Shiqing's hand that was pointing at Lin Qing in disgust, "Don't you have any manners left? Pointing at others casually."
Zhu Shiqing knew that he was in the wrong, so he rubbed his hand that was hurt by the slap with his other hand, continued to look at Lin Qing, then at the others, back and forth.
"Do you know each other?"
Finally, he gave up and asked dejectedly.
"Well, Mr. Zhu, do you have any objections?"
Feng Ming was dissatisfied with the way Zhu Shiqing looked at Lin Qing. "How can you look at my idol with such a weird look? Believe it or not, I will smash your head!"
"No, no, it's not."
Zhu Shiqing then withdrew his gaze and lowered his head.
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Excuse me for being so rude, but may I ask this steward if Miss Gu is okay?"
After a moment's silence, Zhu Shiqing finally made up his mind, looked up at Lin Qing firmly and asked this question, but when he saw Lin Qing's extremely oppressive eyes, he lowered his head again spinelessly.
"What does it have to do with you whether my young lady is good or not?"
Lin Qing's words were as cold as her eyes.
"Yes, I know I am sorry for Miss Gu. I just hope that Miss Gu will be fine in the future."
Zhu Shiqing felt that he was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he bowed silently to everyone and left.
The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became silent because of this little incident. Even though Feng Xiyun tried hard to liven up the atmosphere later, everyone still felt a little gloomy in their hearts.
After lunch, Lin Qing said she had to go back to the inn to look after Gu Ning, and agreed to meet again at the inn in the evening. The others then went their separate ways to go shopping, after all, everyone had their own preferences, and Hongyuan seemed very safe, so there was no problem in separating.
Feng Ming naturally went with Tu Nan, Feng Xiyun went with Lin Qing under the pretext of wanting to seek advice from Lin Qing, and Su Wei naturally went with Feng Yuyun.
"Come on!"
Feng Ming pulled Tuanan to the other side with a strange smile. Su Wei silently threatened her, turned around and caught up with Feng Yuyun with a smile.
"Yuyun, where do you want to go?"
"I don't know. Hong Yuan doesn't know where to find fun things."
Feng Yuyun was comparing two simple hairpins made by a vendor at a street stall, and her tone was a little helpless.
Su Wei's face lit up with joy, he was waiting for you to say this.
“You can go…”
"Oh, girl, you've come from out of town. I'm telling you, Lingyan Temple outside Hongyuan City is very effective and can help you find a partner."
Su Wei's lines were hijacked by the old lady selling things at the stall. He looked at her with some resentment, but fortunately the place he recommended was the same as what he originally wanted to say.
"Lingyan Temple?"
"Su Wei, let's go!"
Feng Yuyun lowered her head and hesitated for two seconds, then turned back with shining eyes and called Su Wei.
Originally, Su Wei wanted to take Feng Yuyun there. He nodded hurriedly and paid for the two hairpins in Feng Yuyun's hands.
“Haha, do you think Su Wei made Yu Yun understand today?”
"I think it's difficult."
Feng Ming and Tu Nan, who were hiding in the distance and peeking, smiled maliciously. Along the way, Su Wei had tried his best to please Feng Yuyun, but unfortunately, Feng Yuyun was slow to wake up, which made them watch a lot of shows.
"Forget it, leave them alone and let nature take its course. Where should we go then?"
"Aren't you going to look for Zhu Shiqing? I just saw him go to the tavern next door."
Tunan gave Fengming an understanding smile.
…
"Waiter, bring me another pot of wine."
"Alright, sir, please enjoy your meal."
"Mr. Zhu is in such a good mood. Wouldn't it be lonely to drink alone?"
Following the waiter's voice, two figures sat down next to Zhu Shiqing.
Zhu Shiqing didn't drink much, but he was feeling depressed, so he didn't have time to hide himself, and his eyes looked a little sharp.
Only after he saw who it was did his eyes soften again.
"You two, huh?"
Then he laughed at himself, "Are you two here specifically to condemn me?"
"Ming'er and I did come to see Master Zhu specifically, but we're not here to condemn you. We just have some questions and want to get them clarified."
Zhu Shiqing continued to drink by himself and ignored them. He was completely different from his previous familiar self.
"Oh, I know I'm in the wrong. Now everyone is blaming me, what's there to be confused about?"
"Mr. Zhu, although we have only met twice, I am very good at judging people. You are not the kind of person who would easily care about what others say."
Zhu Shiqing paused while drinking. In fact, although he had been holding the cup and drinking, he had not drunk much. Now he stopped pretending, put down the cup, and looked at Tunan with clear eyes.
"Tell me, what is the reason for breaking off the engagement?"
"Well, whatever. It's really hard to keep it in my heart. Since you can see it, I'll tell you. Since you really know Miss Gu, please help me apologize. Before... before, I misunderstood her, and because of this, she had to leave her hometown. I really feel sorry for her."
Zhu Shiqing's words were sincere and his apology did not seem fake.
"You mean misunderstanding?"
"Alas, this matter is complicated, and there are some things I cannot disclose. I can only say that I used to think Miss Gu was a scheming woman. She and my father teamed up to force me to return home and get married, so I deliberately ran away on the wedding day to get revenge on them. Who knew she was really innocent and didn't know the slightest about my family's affairs. Now she has been harmed by me like this. I really... Alas!"
