The two of them slowly approached each other, trying to breathe each other's air, but at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The two were stunned, and the charming atmosphere was broken in an instant. Before Xue Zhiyi could react, Huo Wuyou gritted his teeth and went to open the door. He moved so quickly that the door panel was opened with a bang.
Xue Zhiyi secretly worried about the person knocking on the door.
But when she opened the door, she saw that the person coming was Jiang Xu. What could Jiang Xu want from her?
Seeing that it was Huo Wuyou who opened the door, Jiang Xu was also stunned, and his hand that was knocking on the door hung in mid-air.
Before he could open his mouth, Huo Wuyou laughed in anger and asked him sincerely, "Jiang Xu, are you sick?"
Jiang Xu was stunned by the scolding. Then, he realized what was happening and inexplicably felt a bit angry: "Why is the Marquis of Lin'an here?"
"What does it matter to you where I am?"
Seeing him so confident and self-righteous, Jiang Xu felt a little upset. He was in a state of panic: "Ms. Xue is an unmarried woman. If she knew that you had entered her room without permission..."
Before he finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xue Zhiyi, who was also in the room behind Huo Wuyou, and was instantly speechless.
Huo Wuyou was completely baffled as to what was ailing Jiang Xu. He was already furious, and now he looked at Jiang Xu with even more displeasure: "What's wrong with you? What do you want to do? You're even meddling in us? Are you going to throw me in a pig cage next?"
Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Xue Zhiyi wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but he saw Jiang Xu's face was dark, but he was still more careful about his manners than Huo Wuyou. He took a deep breath and said, "I have something to say to Miss Xue. I hope the Marquis of Lin'an will not interfere."
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Huo Wuyou was even more murderous: "She doesn't want to see you! Do you know each other well?"
"You..." Jiang Xu hesitated. His upbringing had prevented him from doing anything out of the ordinary, yet he was so angry that he could only stare at Huo Wuyou with a red face. "May I ask what this has to do with the Marquis of Lin'an?"
Huo Wuyou was already angry, and now he was even more shameless: "How can it have nothing to do with me? Get out of here before I do anything!"
Seeing the two of them on the verge of a fight, Xue Zhiyi tugged at Huo Wuyou's sleeve and gave Jiang Xu a polite smile: "My Lord Jiang, please forgive me for laughing. Let's discuss this another day."
"Another day? Even another day won't work!"
Huo Wuyou still refused to give in, but Xue Zhiyi just kept smiling and twisted his waist hard from behind, forcing him to shut up.
Jiang Xu didn't know why, but he also started to meddle in other people's affairs: "Miss Xue, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but it's really not appropriate to get too close to this kind of person, otherwise if it gets out..."
"Jiang Xu, are you...hiss!" Huo Wuyou wanted to curse, but his lower back was twisted even harder.
Jiang Xu was scolded for no reason. After hearing those words, he just left in anger.
Huo Wuyou was still staring at the direction where Jiang Xu left, completely unaware of Xue Zhiyi's extremely disgusted look beside him.
Just as he was about to curse a few more times, he felt a tightness on his back, and Xue Zhiyi pushed him out the door without mercy.
When I turned around again, the door had been slammed shut by Xue Zhiyi and bolted.
"Zhiyi? Zhiyi!"
He was actually kicked out.
…
The next day.
Huo Wuyou fell ill without any warning. Sui Yunlang said that he had caught a severe cold and needed to stay indoors and rest, without any exposure to the wind, just like he was in confinement after giving birth.
Jiang Xu originally wanted to take the opportunity to find Xue Zhiyi again. He really had some very important things in his heart that he had been holding in his heart for a long time, and he wanted to find Xue Zhiyi to ask him clearly.
But they all lived in the same yard, and I was afraid that the noise of their conversations would cause Huo Wuyou to sit up in shock from his dying illness. If the cold got worse, he would die in Jiangzhou, which would be troublesome.
Walking in the garden of the Tang Mansion, Jiang Xu was feeling worried when he seemed to hear someone talking.
I saw two maids, who seemed to be bringing someone with them, coming from the hanging flower gate.
Coming towards me was a young girl with a bright smile, wearing a goose yellow shirt and a willow green skirt. Beside her was a tall boy who was a few years younger than her.
They were Shen Qingtang and Shen Qingwei, brother and sister.
Shen Qingtang still remembered that it was Jiang Xu who covered for her that day. When she saw him, she took the initiative to greet him.
She explained, "We encountered some bad guys on the mountain road that day. Thanks to Master Tang's timely arrival, my father wanted my younger brother to come with me to visit so we could express our gratitude for what happened that day. It just so happens that I wanted to come and see Zhiyi as well."
Speaking of Xue Zhiyi, Jiang Xu suddenly thought: Shen Qingtang and Xue Zhiyi seem to have a very good relationship. Maybe there are some things that would be the same if we asked Shen Qingtang.
He hesitated, but still spoke: "Miss Shen, Jiang has an unwelcome request. May I ask for your permission to speak for a moment?"
Shen Qingtang was puzzled and looked at Shen Qingwei.
Shen Qingwei asked, "Master Jiang, what do you mean? Is there anything you want to discuss with my sister in private?"
Jiang Xu looked embarrassed and he didn't know how to explain this matter.
However, Shen Qingtang still remembered the help he had given her that day, so he agreed to Jiang Xu's request and only asked Shen Qingwei to walk a few steps away, keeping a distance where Shen Qingwei could not hear clearly but still be under their eyes.
"Master Jiang, please tell me what you want to say."
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xu said, "About Miss Xue..."
When Shen Qingtang heard Xue Zhiyi's name, she was stunned. At the same time, she felt a sense of loss in her heart that she herself did not even notice.
"I wonder if Miss Shen knows Miss Xue's exact birthday? The more detailed the better."
"Why are you asking this?" She narrowed her eyes in confusion.
Jiang Xu continued to ask, "Also, does she have anything she particularly likes? Do you know?"
Shen Qingtang looked at him incredulously: "Could it be that you are..."
Then, she quickly refused: "No, you can't ask these questions!"
Zhiyi already has the Marquis of Lin'an, so no one else can come between them.
“No, no, no…”
Jiang Xu quickly denied it, his speech becoming incoherent, but he still couldn't give in. He asked again, "I wonder if Miss Xue has ever mentioned to you any birthmarks or other characteristics on her body?"
Shen Qingtang widened her eyes. Before asking this question, she thought Jiang Xu was just interested in Zhiyi, so he wanted to ask her about Zhiyi's birthday and preferences. But now after hearing this question, she felt that Jiang Xu was completely sick.
She was displeased, and said with a firm look, "Master Jiang, these are Zhiyi's private matters. I will not tell you, and you shouldn't ask. With all due respect, if one's character is low, even if one has talent and knowledge, it will be in vain."
After saying that, she looked him up and down with disdain on her face, then turned around, as if trying to avoid him, and dragged Shen Qingwei away.
He was a very good-looking top scholar, but he was mentally ill.
Shen Qingwei looked back at Jiang Xu several times, and then asked Shen Qingtang softly: "Sister, what did he want to see you about?"
"Don't ask, and don't associate with him in the future, got it?"
Shen Qingwei was puzzled: "I thought... I thought he was interested in you, so he came to talk to you specifically."
As if hearing something terrible, Shen Qingtang covered his ears: "Shut up!"
