Chapter 33 Nian Nian, I’ll take you away!
The young ladies were chattering about the two of them. Shen Wangshu looked over and saw that the young man in white holding the fan should be Ji Mingyi, who was called Master Yuehua. Since he was the richest man in Moyun City...then was this "Ji" on the jade token that Carpenter Li gave her?
The other young man beside him in red brocade clothes should be the Prince Bao from the capital. He has a pair of upturned fox eyes and looks really amorous and romantic. He is looking for something in the crowd with an anxious look on his face.
Wait, you’re from Beijing? Sent by the emperor?
Shen Wangshu suddenly became alert, and this person looked somewhat familiar... She took a few steps back and let the taller young lady block her. She always felt that this Prince Bao came with bad intentions.
Are they here to arrest her?
She thought that she must not let him see her.
Chen Wangshu said to Xia Houfu, who was watching the fun, "The sun is too strong, I feel a little uncomfortable, I want to find a cool place to rest, you can play with your friends here, okay?"
Xia Houfu looked at her worriedly and said, "Is it serious, sister? I'll have someone take you back to your room to rest, shall I?"
The two people over there already showed signs of wanting to look over, so Chen Wangshu quickly said, "No need, I'll just find an empty pavilion to sit in, you can have fun."
She quietly left the crowd and walked away from the two men.
However, the moment she turned around, Prince Bao, who was the focus of all the girls, suddenly looked over as if he had sensed something.
Seeing that familiar figure, Gu Ziliang was stunned for a moment: "Ji Mingyi! Look over there!"
Master Yuehua was fanning himself and enjoying the compliments from the young ladies. Hearing this, he lazily asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Ziliang grabbed his sleeve and shook it in a panic: "Is that Nian Nian? Is that my Nian Nian?!"
"Ancestor, please keep your voice down!" Ji Mingyi covered his mouth in shock: "Do you know who you are calling? You are calling the general's wife! She is not Nian Nian!"
"She is my sister Nian Nian..." Gu Ziliang looked at the direction where Shen Wangshu left, his eyes full of sadness: "If she really came to the lotus viewing banquet today, then my trip would not be in vain."
Ji Mingyi said, "What do you want to do? Have you forgotten what I told you last time? This is someone else's territory. None of your secret guards have returned. Maybe Chen Ting has already found out about you. You don't want to die, but you still want to do this?"
"Nian Nian looks so haggard today. She seems to be thinner than before. She must have had a hard time these days."
"Chen Ting is also at the banquet today. Aren't you afraid that he will discover your intentions?"
"That old man Chen Ting must be bad to Nian Nian! It's only been a short time since they got married and Nian Nian has become so thin. He must be torturing her every day!"
"......"
The two of them kept talking at cross purposes for a while, and Ji Mingyi finally couldn't stand it anymore. If it weren't for the fact that this big fool was the son of Prince Bao, he would have hit him with a fan: "Can you calm down!"
Gu Ziliang shook his head and said in despair: "I can't calm down. I want to save Nian Nian from suffering. She must be waiting for me to save her and leave!"
"I'm going to find her and take her away. No one can stop me!"
This man's rationality basically disappeared when he saw Shen Wangshu, and Ji Mingyi didn't expect him to listen to what he said, so he said helplessly: "At least don't be so obvious, okay, my lord?"
"They may not want to go with you, so you should at least ask."
Gu Ziliang's eyes lit up: "Do you have a way for me to see her? I want to talk to her. She must be willing to go with me. How can Moyun City be worthy of her who was raised with so much money and treasure!"
Ji Mingyi was speechless. He really didn’t want to talk to this pervert: “…I can’t let you two meet alone. I can only try to get rid of other people.”
"Really? Then take me there!"
Gu Ziliang left Beijing secretly this time. Apart from the few secret guards for protection, he did not bring any servants with him. When he came here, he relied on the people sent by Ji Mingyi to serve him. It was inconvenient to do anything without his own people. Just like at this moment, he had a hard time saying a few words to Shen Wangshu.
Soon, several clever servants with round heads and round brains came up and whispered something in Ji Mingyi's ear. He tapped his fan and thought for a moment, then said, "The general is being harassed in the front hall. I will take you there only if you promise me that you will only talk to the general's wife and not do anything else."
He deliberately emphasized the words "General's Wife", hoping that Gu Ziliang would remember their current identities, but this guy obviously didn't care.
"I understand. Let's make arrangements quickly."
He really couldn't wait to see Nian Nian and tell her about his longing and regret.

Shen Wangshu was about to ask the maid in the mansion to take him to a place with few people to sit for a while. Lvliu, who was always quiet, said, "Madam, I know a place in the Lotus Garden with few people and good scenery, and it is also close to the side door of the front hall."
Chen Ting went to the front hall. I would be able to see him when he came out.
Shen Wangshu thought so, feeling happy: “Then you lead the way.”
Taohong asked curiously, "Were you on duty at Heyuan before?"
Luliu pursed her lips and nodded, looking very shy: "I was a lotus-picking girl who fled from the south. I am very familiar with the lotus pond. Madam Xiahou knew about it and arranged me here from the beginning."
Moyun City is dry, so it is not easy to maintain such a large lotus pond. Green Willow is a professional, no wonder it is placed here.
They walked a long distance, leaving the bustling voices far behind, passed one rockery after another and across small bridges and flowing water, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous pavilion behind a rockery.
The pavilion was surrounded by dancing gauze curtains, and there were several plates of snacks and tea on the table.
"These are prepared in such a remote place." Shen Wangshu was a little happy. Being able to eat while waiting was indeed a pleasant surprise.
"Every place can't be neglected." Green Willow said: "The Lotus Garden is an important place for Xiahou Mansion to receive guests. When the plum trees bloom in winter, Madam will hold a plum blossom viewing banquet."
It's quiet and there's no one around. You can enjoy the scenery and feed the fishes. The place is also cool. It's very good.
As Shen Wangshu was thinking this, he suddenly heard a strange, trembling male voice coming from outside the pavilion: “Nian Nian…”
She was so frightened by this tender call that she got goose bumps all over her body and felt like she had seen a ghost in broad daylight.
"Who's over there?!" Mei Xue shouted loudly, and Wu Tong stood in front of the lady without saying a word.
Taohong and Lvliu looked over warily, wondering who this lecher was who dared to call the general's wife like that?
