That is the uneasiness of the unknown.
"Liansheng..."
Liansheng turned his head and met Zhuang Rongjun's cautious gaze, as if he was afraid that he would be angry.
"I'm sorry, I should have told you before. My mother is a general, but she is seriously ill and paralyzed in bed. Now I am the one who makes the decisions in this general's mansion, so you don't have to feel restrained."
Zhuang Rongjun originally wanted to say: Treat yourself as your own home.
The words came to his lips but he swallowed them back.
She narrowed her eyes and glanced up at the general's mansion.
This place is not her home, let alone Liansheng.
"I understand, but you don't have to apologize to me." Liansheng was indeed shocked, but after the shock, he had no other emotions.
However, he came to repay his gratitude. He would stay for a year. After a year, he could take Lansheng away and they would have no further involvement.
Just thinking about this, Liansheng's eyelashes drooped. Is it really possible that there is no involvement?
Recalling Zhuang Rongjun's various actions along the way from Renhe County to the capital, Liansheng had a vague guess in his mind.
But I also think that guess is a bit ridiculous.
For a moment, I felt a little restless.
"Let's go in." Zhuang Rongjun's words interrupted his thoughts.
Liansheng nodded, and took Lansheng with her as they stepped into the general's mansion and into the unknown world that was about to come.
Liansheng didn't notice the sudden silence around them when their carriage first stopped in front of the general's mansion.
When the passers-by saw Zhuang Rongjun, they were frightened for a moment, and then hurriedly avoided him, not daring to make a sound.
After they had gone far away, someone whispered the words "The madman is back".
-
In the capital city, in the private room of a brothel, the sound of stringed instruments lingered, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.
Several dancers were dancing in thin gauze skirts.
A young man in a brocade robe was holding a woman in his arms and kissing her passionately.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened and a young girl walked in.
"Second brother, second brother..."
The young man's hug and kiss were forced to stop. He raised his eyes and looked coldly at the girl who walked in, and pushed the woman in his arms away.
"Who asked you to come here? Don't you want fame anymore?"
The girl was scolded, her lips flattened, and she snorted: "I came here specially to tell you the news, do you think I like to come here? Hurry and let them all go."
They are all so ugly, and I don’t know what they put on their bodies, they smell so bad. I really don’t understand why my second brother likes to come to the brothel.
The dancers quickly left, the windows opened, and the sweetness in the air dissipated a little.
The young man half-closed his eyes, lying on the chaise longue, and said, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to talk about when you come to see me?"
The girl hurriedly sat down beside him and said with a smile, "Second brother, I'll tell you the truth. Zhuang Rongjun has returned to the capital."
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man suddenly opened his eyes, fixed his scorching gaze on the girl, and asked anxiously, "Are you serious? She's back?"
"Of course, my people saw it with their own eyes."
The young man's eyes lit up and he made a move to stand up, but then he thought better of it and lay back down.
No rush, no rush!
The girl continued, "Second brother, you said that crazy Zhuang..."
The young man glared at her.
The girl shrank her head. "I know. Putting aside the fact that she's crazy, where did Zhuang Rongjun go after leaving the capital?"
The young man remained silent and did not respond.
"However, there's something strange about her coming back this time. She actually brought two people with her, and both of them are men..."
