Faced with Jiang Xu's sudden loss of composure, Shen Qingtang was a little frightened, but still questioned him in a panicked voice: "You... why are you yelling at Zhiyi!"
Looking at Shen Qingtang, the only one of the four who didn't understand what was going on, Xue Zhiyi sighed and then said with a smile, "Master Jiang, are you planning to go on a trip with us?"
Jiang Xu's expression changed again and again. He blinked rapidly, his previous eagerness now seeming a little guilty. "...Yes, thank you Miss Chai for the invitation."
Chai Yue, still in shock, deeply regretted her impulsive words. She was even more shocked that Xue Zhiyi had already guessed their intentions against her. She gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "Master Jiang, you are so polite."
Shen Qingtang didn't understand what was going on. She just felt that the atmosphere among them was extremely weird, so she held Xue Zhiyi's hand even tighter.
Jiang Xu withdrew his wandering gaze, but happened to meet Shen Qingtang's eyes. Shen Qingtang's face was dark, and her eyes were full of warnings, as if she would bite him if he dared to get close to Xue Zhiyi.
Shen Qingtang bit her back teeth, and her cheeks around her nose trembled slightly. She warned Jiang Xu with a vicious look: If he dares to ask Zhiyi those unbearable words, don't blame her for being rude!
…
Outside the Tang residence, there was only one car ready. Chai Yue said, "I didn't know Lord Jiang wanted to go with us. The servants preparing the car were careless. Please wait a moment."
Having said that, he asked people to get ready.
At this point, Xue Zhiyi was completely certain that Chai Yue had no good intentions in this trip.
According to the rules of wealthy families, women are not allowed to ride with men outside their families. It’s just that Huo Wuyou has never been polite to her, but she hasn’t forgotten this.
There was only one car prepared, it seemed that Chai Yue had intended to send Shen Qingwei away from the very beginning.
Looking at Shen Qingtang beside her, Xue Zhiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried: If Shen Qingtang hadn't taken the initiative to invite her, she, Xue Zhiyi, would not be included in this travel plan, so Chai Yue would only target Shen Qingtang.
"Let's call another one." Xue Zhiyi suddenly said.
Hearing this, Chai Yue looked at her unfriendlyly: "Oh, you are so arrogant?"
Shen Qingtang just thought Xue Zhiyi didn't want to ride with Chai Yue, so she took the initiative to say, "Miss Chai, this is what I meant. It was like this when I was in Huajing. The car was too crowded and I couldn't get used to it."
It's rare for her to be spoiled.
Chai Yue just wanted to get out as soon as possible, so he didn't object and just sent his servants to harness the carriage.
In the car, Shen Qingtang was still worried that Xue Zhiyi would take Chai Yue's words to heart, so she comforted him, "Zhiyi, I don't want to make things too awkward with her. I'll just deal with her. Don't pay any attention to her later, just talk to me."
After saying that, she sighed in frustration: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked you to come. How could I have known that Miss Chai had such a temper?"
Xue Zhiyi was still thinking about what had just happened. Suddenly, she said, "Your clothes are nice."
"What?" Shen Qingtang blinked and looked at the light yellow shirt embroidered with white gardenias. "I wore this before. Have you forgotten?"
Xue Zhiyi just smiled: "I haven't forgotten, I just suddenly wanted to change clothes with you."
She was wearing a light purple short-sleeved shirt today with a pair of magpies embroidered on the shoulders.
Shen Qingtang didn't understand why, but couldn't resist Xue Zhiyi's pleading and changed it anyway.
…
Speaking of this.
In another carriage fully loaded with goods, Huo Wuyou, who was supposed to be recuperating in the Tang Mansion, was sitting in it with a thick beard and wearing a coarse linen shirt. In front of him sat a trembling Fu Zixian.
"This brave man?" Fu Zixian said cautiously: "After I take you to the Chai family to deliver this batch of goods, can you really give me the antidote?"
"It's natural."
He agreed casually, but his hands were bored and were weaving a ring with wild grass that he had picked from somewhere.
…
When Xue Zhiyi and Shen Qingtang got out of the car, Chai Yue saw them swapping clothes, and her expression suddenly changed: "Why are you..."
Although Chai Yue didn't know why Xue Zhiyi acted this way, she felt she had her reasons for doing so, so she smiled and said, "My relationship with Zhiyi has always been like this. We always wear jewelry and clothes together, without any distinction between yours and mine."
After saying that, she took Xue Zhiyi's hand and said, "Look over there, let's go and take a look."
Seeing the two of them like this, Chai Yue became more and more uneasy. She twisted her fingers anxiously, but her eyes seemed to be looking around for something.
Looking at the street market here, Shen Qingtang said, "Miss Chai is right. Even though there is a flood, this street is still bustling."
Although this place is not as prosperous as Huajing, the buildings along the street are all magnificent. No matter whether they sell calligraphy and paintings or pearls and jade, or run restaurants or theaters, they all look like expensive places. The pedestrians coming and going are all dressed in gorgeous clothes, surrounded by servants. They must be rich or noble.
The scenery here is like two completely different worlds compared to the places where disaster victims live that Xue Zhiyi has seen these days.
It seems that as long as one is rich, his life will not be too bad no matter where he goes or what season it is.
There are many things with local characteristics on this street. Shen Qingtang found them interesting and bought quite a few of them.
Xue Zhiyi picked up a red lacquer mask inlaid with gold foil and examined it carefully. Shen Qingtang saw this and moved closer to her: "Do you like it? I think it's unique too."
Xue Zhiyi picked up the mask and looked at Shen Qingtang's face. She suddenly smiled and said, "If you think it's good, I'll give it to you."
Here, Jiang Xu followed a few people absent-mindedly. Finally, when Shen Qingtang entered a jewelry shop to choose jewelry, he got the chance to approach the figure in purple clothes and mask.
