Chapter 103 Encounter
Su Yuan leaned against the tree trunk, looking down with a playful look in his eyes, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he clicked his tongue twice silently.
Gu Ranran was rejected by Ji Qiubai?
How strange! How strange!
Su Yuan watched Gu Ranran slowly approach the lotus pond and pick up the black peony that Ji Qiubai had discarded on the ground.
She suddenly had an idea and spat out the fruit core from her mouth, holding it between two fingers and throwing it away.
moment.
A small round bead quickly pierced through the air and shot towards Gu Ranran's knee quickly and sharply.
Then there was the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, followed by a "splash" and a woman's cry for help.
In a short while.
There were guards from the palace stationed nearby. When they heard the noise, they quickly rushed over.
Seeing someone fall into the lotus pond, the guards quickly jumped into the pond, rescued Gu Ranran, who had choked on the water and had already fainted, and carried the person to find the palace doctor.
On the tree.
After Su Yuan and the others had all left, they turned their eyes away from the somewhat dim sky.
He glanced around.
Found no one.
She leaped forward and landed steadily on the ground. She clapped her hands and was about to leave, but out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of a flash of light among the flowers.
Su Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over there.
——It’s a jade pendant!
She raised her eyebrows, slowly picked it up and looked at it, when she saw the hibiscus flower carved on it.
Su Yuan frowned slightly, and understood that it must be a man's thing. He lowered his eyes and thought for a while.
She pursed her lips, deciding not to cause any more trouble.
Just throw it back!
Unexpectedly, just as her hand dropped, a cry of surprise came from not far away:
"Look, sir, your jade pendant is in that woman's hand!"
As the words fell.
A series of footsteps approached.
Su Yuan looked over calmly.
In the distance, Le Shan, who was anxious to find a jade pendant for the young master, rushed to her and stretched out his hand to ask for it:
"My lady, the white jade pendant in your hand is a personal item of my young master. Please return it to me."
Su Yuan glanced at Le Shan lightly, turned the jade pendant in his hand that he was about to throw away, handed it to him, then walked past the crowd and prepared to leave along the path.
Unexpectedly, just as she turned her head, she heard a crisp cracking sound of jade hitting the ground behind her.
Su Yuan frowned at the harsh sound. She slowly turned her head and glanced at the white jade pendant that was broken into several pieces behind her and Le Shan who was standing beside her with a smile on his lips.
now.
Le Shan also noticed Su Yuan's inquiring gaze.
He glanced at Ji Qiubai who had already walked over, and smiled at Su Yuan:
"Miss, please don't mind it. Although this white jade hibiscus pendant is very valuable, my son is still an unmarried man. It is better to destroy this jade pendant that has been touched by a foreign woman to avoid misunderstandings in the future."
Then he added:
"It's not directed at you alone."
Su Yuan nodded lightly upon hearing this, without saying much, and withdrew his gaze indifferently, intending to leave.
However, as soon as she turned her head, she met a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
opposite.
Ji Qiubai was not in a hurry and walked over leisurely.
Who would have thought that as soon as he got closer.
He smelled a clear and elegant fragrance that drifted in the wind, like the frosty white pine trees after the snow, which made Ji Qiubai's eyes light up.
This is……
The unique smell of the masked hero!
He won't admit his mistake.
Think of this.
Ji Qiubai walked quickly to Su Yuan and looked her over carefully. Then, as Su Yuan was about to leave, their eyes suddenly met.
Ji Qiubai looked into the familiar cold eyes of the woman, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he was overwhelmed with surprise, and the sadness of losing and regaining.
His clear, lively grape-like eyes were tinged with water, and his fingertips curled slightly. He held the woman's gaze, who had met his, and then looked away as if nothing had happened, and was about to leave.
Ji Qiubai raised his head, pursed his lips tightly, and tried hard to hold back his tears. He said in a hoarse and trembling voice:
"Meng, the masked hero."
Su Yuan glanced at the white fingers that were grabbing his sleeve, raised his eyelids nonchalantly, and said in a calm voice:
"Sir, you have the wrong person. Please let go of my sleeves."
Ji Qiubai's eyes turned red, he shook his head, pursed his lips and choked:
"No, it's you. I won't admit my mistake."
Su Yuan pursed her lips upon seeing this, reached out and pulled the cloth back from Ji Qiubai's palm, frowned and said in confusion:
"I have just come to Jiangcheng for less than a month. Apart from studying at Huachen Academy, I have not been out of the house many times. This is my first time in Nanyou Palace. How could I know you, young master?"
After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Ji Qiubai, strode out of the back garden and walked towards the side hall.
Behind.
Ji Qiubai stared blankly at Su Yuan's departing back, his black and white eyes filled with tears that silently slid down his cheeks.
Le Shan gasped in surprise when he saw that the young master, who had always been arrogant and domineering, was now in such a state.
He glanced at the broken white jade lotus pendant on the ground, and swallowed his saliva in fear. He timidly stepped forward to comfort her:
"Well, sir, maybe we recognized the wrong person? I heard you say before that the masked hero was the warmest-hearted person. He led you through many dangers and saved you from danger. Haha, why is he so cold now?"
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Dai Yun, raised his chin slightly, and asked for approval:
"Daiyun, don't you think so?"
Dai Yun rolled his eyes at him, pushed Le Shan aside and walked up to Ji Qiubai.
While taking out the handkerchief to wipe the tears of her son, she scanned the surroundings to make sure there were no outsiders, then lowered her voice and said:
"Sir, since it is the person you have confirmed, then it must be correct. But if this servant is the masked hero you mentioned, I am afraid that I will be like that woman just now and will not recognize you."
"Think about it, Banshi Mountain is the scene of a major crime. Not only did thousands of bandits die that day, but a lot of money in the mountain stronghold was also looted. If people knew that you had been there, you might be targeted by the government, which is not a good thing."
After that, he paused, a smile appeared on his lips, and continued:
"Listen to what the girl said. She is a student of Huachen Academy. The prince just wants to choose a wife for you from among them. When you come into contact with her again in the future, just say that you like her. Wouldn't that make it legitimate?"
Le Shan was already feeling uncomfortable because his words were interrupted. Now when he heard Dai Yun giving Ji Qiubai some bad advice, he frowned and said in disapproval:
"Dai Yun, you let the young master say this, aren't you deliberately trying to ruin his reputation? Our young master is looking for someone to repay a favor, but you are using love as a weapon. I don't think this idea is feasible."
Dai Yun sneered and did not engage in an argument with him. He looked at Ji Qiubai with certainty in his eyes, waiting for his answer.
snort!
Leshan is usually quite smart.
But he is a complete blockhead when it comes to matters between men and women.
Doesn’t it say in the painting book that if someone saves your life, you should repay him with your own life?
The young master is just looking for his sweetheart under the pretext of repaying a favor, but he can't see it clearly.
The young master will definitely scold him soon.
Just wait and see!
