350: Admiration and seeds of resentment

"Madam Shen, I'm going to teach Hong Dali a lesson. You can go back. Fourth Brother Shen will definitely look for you.

Qian Guang stood up and said to Su Zhi.

"You don't have to go look for Hong Dali alone, let Zi'an go for a while.

Su Zhi thought that she already owed Qian Guang a favor, and she couldn't let him go to help again, because that would offend him. The Qian family was a well-known and wealthy family, and they were also well-known. She didn't want Qian Guang to have any conflicts with Hong Dali, because that would really be too much of a favor to owe.

"Let me take you out first. It's too dark here. You'll be safer when you get to a crowded place. Fourth Brother Shen must be looking for you outside. You'll be able to see him soon."

Qian Guang did not refuse Su Zhi's words and thought about sending Su Zhi out first. He was worried about letting her go alone. After all, Su Zhi was a very outstanding woman. If she met someone with bad intentions, wouldn't it be like he had just rescued Su Zhi from the wolf's mouth, but sent her into the tiger's mouth again?

Su Zhi nodded, looked at the people lying on the ground, nodded, and said hello.

The two of them were almost walking side by side, actually one in front and one behind, Su Zhi was slightly ahead, while Qian Guang was a little behind. Not far outside was a busy street, but here, it seemed that even the footsteps of the two could be heard. The sound was urgent, and one could tell at a glance that they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

The light around was dim, but there were lights in the distance. After getting used to the darkness here, he could see people's faces clearly. When Qian Guang saw Su Zhi's gentle profile, his heartbeat quickened again.

"Madam Shen!"

Seeing the entrance of the alley in front of him, Qian Guang looked at the light there and Su Zhi's figure walking forward anxiously. He felt a little lost. Once they got out of here, they would no longer be in a world with only the two of them. She would return to Shen Zian. When he thought of her smiling so brightly at Shen Zian, he felt like a stone was pressing down on his heart, slowing down his heartbeat. He couldn't help but call Su Zhi.

Su Zhi paused for a moment, tilted her head and asked, "Mr. Qian? What's the matter?"

"I want to talk to you!"

Qian Guang looked at Su Zhi's soft profile, her eyes sparkling in the dim light like stars in the sky, and the faint fragrance that was just visible. The emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally could no longer be suppressed.

Qian Guang is the only son of the Qian family. He is loved by everyone. He has everything he wants, and he has never lacked anything. He is not bad looking, and he is good at both literature and martial arts. Many women are attracted to him. However, his family education is quite strict, and a fortune teller once said that it is best for him to get married after he is 20 years old. Therefore, he has always been chaste in matters between men and women. Even if he has noticed women and has been tempted by them, he can control his emotions. It was not until he met Su Zhi that he realized that suppressing emotions was such a painful thing.

Su Zhi is a married woman, and the couple loves each other very much. Just this fact alone makes Qian Guang realize that he and Su Zhi may not be destined to be together in this life. But now Qian Guang still wants to give it a try! .

Su Zhi heard Qian Guang's serious tone and stopped talking, wondering if he wanted to tell her about Hong Dali.

"What is it? Tell me."

"I adore you."

"Huh?" Su Zhi was surprised. She really wanted to think that she had heard it wrong, but she had good hearing and she knew she hadn't heard it wrong. Looking at Qian Guang's burning eyes that could still be felt in the dim light, Su Zhi was silent. In fact, she was not a dull person. In the previous meetings with Qian Guang, she also felt that Qian Guang had some unusual feelings towards her. It was just that she felt that Qian Guang was not a bad person, and she was not on guard against him. She thought that since they didn't see each other often, she would let it go after he got married. But she didn't expect that he would still say it, and at this time.

"I already have a husband. Zi'an is a good man. You will also find a good woman to grow old with you. Let's go."

Su Zhi walked forward again. She was now more anxious to see her husband. Qian Guang was a good man, but unfortunately he was not her ideal man. They were destined to be impossible. She did not feel the slightest excitement in her heart.

"Is there no possibility at all? I don't mind you getting married again! As long as you are willing to marry me, I will welcome you into my house in a grand sedan chair. You will be my only child for the rest of my life! Everything in the Qian family is yours!"

When Qian Guang saw Su Zhi was about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed Su Zhi.

Su Zhi shook off Qian Guang's hand and said sternly, "I will only have one husband in my life, so don't say anything else. I will pretend that I didn't hear your rude words today, and I won't tell anyone else. Don't come to Fuyuan again, and we'll say goodbye now!"

Su Zhi left in a hurry after saying this. She was a little angry that Qian Guang would say these words. This was tempting a married woman to abandon her family and husband, which was a very shameful behavior. Although he might really be interested in her and couldn't help it, it still made Su Zhi angry. Did he know how serious this matter was for them? If it weren't for the good relationship between the two families and the cooperative relationship, and if he hadn't just saved her, she would have thought that a slap in the face would be a light punishment. Now she could only get rid of him like this, hoping that he would stop here and pretend that nothing happened when they met again.

Qian Guang watched Su Zhi hurriedly leave and clenched his fist tightly. In his fist, he could still feel the touch of Su Zhi's wrist just now. Although it was separated by clothes, the feeling of being so slender and soft that it seemed to break if squeezed was still so nostalgic. But Qian Guang also knew that he had completely lost hope today.

Qian Guang followed Su Zhi, he was still worried about her. Standing at the entrance of the alley, he watched Su Zhi throw herself into Shen Zian's arms, feeling lonely. After all, he met her too late, and in this life, she belonged to Shen Zian.

Qian Guang clenched his fists, turned around and walked back. He was furious and wanted to find a place to vent. Thinking of Hong Dali, he thought he should teach him a lesson. Who made this person dare to hit on Su Zhi? If it wasn't for him, he wouldn't have said these words, and he could be friends with Su Zhi for life. Let him help Su Zhi solve the problem of this person who dared to hit on Su Zhi. Even if she would never belong to him in this life, he was still willing to clear all the dangerous obstacles for her. He hoped that she could live a safe and happy life. He hoped that she would always have a smile on her face that made people feel like spring breeze, even if that smile did not belong to him...

Su Zhi rushed out of the alley, and when she saw Shen Zian, she ran towards him. The two hugged each other tightly, and Qian Guang stood in the alley, watching them. They noticed that there was someone standing at the side of the alley just now, who heard their conversation clearly.

The person was wearing a rose-red short cape embroidered with white plum blossoms, and a goose-yellow long skirt. She looked like a young girl, but her face was not clearly visible because of the hat she was wearing. She did not attract much attention. She quickly moved away after Su Zhi rushed out of the alley, and no one saw her eavesdropping on other people's conversation there.

The person was walking in a hurry, and the tender palms of her hands hidden under the cloak were almost broken by her long fingernails, which showed the anger in her heart.

"Zhu'er, I finally found you. Come and stay with me. Don't be left out anymore."

A handsome young man in a bright blue robe walked up to the woman and spoke with concern.

The handsome young man is Shen Ziju and the girl in the cloak is Shen Zhu. They both came to watch the lantern festival today and came with Qian Guang.

"Zhu'er, let's go back. It seems we won't be able to meet Brother Qian. Maybe he has already gone back. Let's go back and take a look.

Shen Ziju smiled and said that he knew best that his sister was interested in Qian Guang. His parents also asked him to create opportunities for the two of them. He also thought that Qian Guang and Shen Zhu were a good match. If Qian Guang became his brother-in-law, their family would have a higher status in this place. He was going to be an official in the future, so the more help he had, the better. Qian Guang was also going to take the imperial examination, so they would have someone to look after him.

Usually, Shen Ziju would always praise Shen Zhu subtly when he met Qian Guang in the name of studying together, saying how virtuous and beautiful Shen Zhu was, hoping that Qian Guang would have a better impression of Shen Zhu. He would also create some opportunities for the two to meet, and every time he would let Shen Zhu dress up and show her best side to attract Qian Guang's attention. It would be best if they could be happy with each other. It would be best if Qian Guang would take the initiative to propose. If he didn't, Shen Ziju would do it. Anyway, their relationship was closer than before. After all, they were both from the same hometown and from the same family, so they would have to interact with each other in the future. I believe Qian Guang would think Shen Zhu is a good candidate for his wife.

Shen Zhu had a slight cold and did not go to the Lantern Festival. This time, Shen Ziju brought her to the festival, but it was a pity that Qian Guang had to go out alone, so they missed the chance to get to know each other under such beautiful scenery.

Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu had just been separated, and he was worried about being separated again. Shen Zhu was a pretty girl, and it would be terrible if something happened to her. So he thought about going back. If Qian Guang went back, he could ask Qian Guang to recite poetry together, and Zhu'er could still be by their side so that they could be close to each other.

"Okay, go back."

Shen Zhu said calmly. She tried her best not to let too much anger in her voice. She lowered her head so as not to let the young man see her face.

Shen Ziju and Shen Zhu were a perfect match, so how could he not notice her abnormality? He looked at her and asked caringly, "Zhu'er, what's wrong with you? Did you encounter something unhappy just now? I can feel that you are unhappy."

"I just saw a very beautiful lamp, but unfortunately I didn't have any money with me, so it was snatched away by another hateful woman. It's really hateful!"

Shen Zhu knew that she couldn't hide her unhappiness from her brother, so she didn't pretend to be happy. She just lied. There was hatred in her voice. She almost gnashed her teeth when she cursed "a hateful woman". The woman she was talking about was Su Zhi. She really didn't expect to hear such words here. Was God playing tricks on her? Let her know that the man she liked actually liked her fourth sister-in-law, the woman who was now better than her in every way!

Su Zhi's reputation in Hebian Village is unrivaled. If the two flowers in Hebian Village were Shen Zhu and Zhao Xiaohua, Shen Zhu was a gorgeous peony, and Zhao Xiaohua was just a pretty wild flower. Both of them were pretty, but Zhao Xiaohua was not as good as Shen Zhu. She was just a foil to Shen Zhu. Shen Zhu was the most popular girl in Hebian Village. Who wouldn't say she was the golden phoenix of Hebian Village? But all this changed after Su Zhi appeared. Su Zhi became the most dazzling existence in Hebian Village.

Su Zhi is good-looking and smart, Shen Zhu doesn't care, she is also good-looking and smart. Su Zhi married a good man, Shen Zhu doesn't care, she believes that no matter how good Shen Zian is, he is just a farmer, and she will definitely marry a better man in the future. But Su Zhi has the favor of the holy beast and the pond that brings her so much praise, and so many famous people like her, even the emperor knows her, which makes Shen Zhu jealous. Especially the last thing, that is, Su Zhi got lucky and encountered a rain, which made Su Zhi become a being more effective than the Rain Queen, and she, Shen Zhu, didn't even become the Rain Queen at the beginning!

Shen Zhu is jealous of Su Zhi. The only way she can think of to make Su Zhi envy her is to marry a stronger man.

Qian Guang can be said to be a very good man. He has a rich family, is good-looking, is talented in both civil and military affairs, is unmarried, and is friends with Shen Ziju. Marrying him is the best choice.

But the damn Qian Guang actually fell in love with the damn Su Zhi!

Shen Zhu thought this was simply a huge joke. She wondered what was so good about Su Zhi that Qian Guang loved her. She was just a married woman, a prodigal, a country woman who married a farmer! How could she seduce the man that Shen Zhu liked? Shen Zhu's heart was full of hatred. She used to hate Su Zhi, too. She hated her for being so outstanding and stealing her glory. But compared with the hatred she felt now, it was nothing.

Shen Ziju smiled and said, "It's just a lantern. Pick another one and I'll buy it for you."

"I just want that one. Nothing else is as good as the one that was taken away."

Shen Zhu said that she was thinking that she must marry Qian Guang. Didn't Qian Guang love Su Zhi? Su Zhi must be very proud. She wanted to make Qian Guang no longer love Su Zhi and let him fall in love with herself instead. She wanted to make Su Zhi understand that she could take away all her glory, but she couldn't take away her man! In the future, she would also take back the lost glory bit by bit, and she, Shen Zhu, would still be the golden phoenix of Hebian Village!

On this beautiful night with bright lights, Shen Zhu planted the seeds of resentment towards Su Zhi.
