A few days later, one night, a carriage was seen traveling along a quiet road. Finally, at dawn, it arrived at the gate of Shangjing. The sword-wielding guards at the gate immediately went up to inspect it.
The guard lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a man inside with relatively neat clothes. However, his skin color was uneven, as if he had not washed for a long time, and his clothes seemed to be put on temporarily.
Ugly centipede-like scars covered his entire face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes still spinning.
There were visible scars all over his body, and no one knew what he had been through to end up like this. He looked rather pitiful.
The guard asked the driver, "Who is this person?"
The driver said, "He was just an ordinary man. He was picking herbs in the mountains when he accidentally fell off a cliff. He was covered in wounds and his legs became lame. His family asked me to take him to a relative in the capital, saying they wanted to find a famous doctor here to treat him."
"Here, this is his property deeds list. Please have a look, sir." The driver took out the property deeds list he carried with him and handed it to the guard at the city gate.
The guard took it, looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he returned it to the driver and shouted, "Let it go!"
The moment the curtain was lowered, the people in the carriage saw the guard's slightly pitiful look and clenched their fists...
…
Gao Jiarong had just finished worshipping Buddha in the palace when the maid beside her helped her up. "Princess, someone from the general's mansion has sent a message saying that someone wants to see you."
"Who?"
"I don't know either. This is the letter that person delivered to the palace. Princess, please take a look."
Gao Jiarong was not in a hurry and drank a cup of tea silently.
The only person who could deliver letters to her at this time was Lu Huan. She was unwilling to accept that one day she would have to obey his orders. It was a great shame and humiliation!
She glanced at the letter indifferently, but still took it, wanting to see what he would say.
But when I opened the letter and took a closer look, my eyes widened immediately...
——
On the streets of Shangjing, jugglers displayed their proud and brilliant skills, vendors on both sides of the street enthusiastically solicited customers, guests came in an endless stream, and the whole street was filled with laughter.
Su Qian held a string of candied haws in her hand and sighed sincerely, "As expected of Shangjing, it's much more lively than Zhiyi City. Even if it's not a festival, it's just an ordinary day, and it's still so lively."
Zhong Wei carefully reminded, "My dear, if you've had enough of the excitement, we should go find the master."
Lu Huan accepted the invitation of his colleagues and went to Juxing Tower to have a meal and talk.
But he couldn't resist Su Qian's request to go out and play, so he ordered Zhong Wei and Zi Tan to follow Su Qian and protect her.
Su Qian had never seen such a prosperous and lively scene. She had been used to being lonely since she was a child, and the hustle and bustle did not belong to her.
After coming to the ancient times and seeing the bustle of Zhiyi City, she was already dazzled at the time, but she never imagined that Shangjing was even more prosperous and wealthy.
"Lu Huan was discussing business with his colleagues. Why would I go to see him so early? I don't want to disturb him."
She was walking aimlessly when she suddenly saw a man with scars all over his face sitting in a wooden wheelchair under a restaurant.
Su Qian saw the suppressed shame and the crumbling self-esteem in his eyes.
For some reason, I always feel that he looks familiar, especially his eyes, but I can't remember where I have seen him.
She had no recollection of ever seeing a man with scars all over his face and in a wheelchair, but the way this man looked at her was really strange.
Su Qian locked eyes with him for a moment, feeling inexplicably frightened. Zi Tan sensed something was wrong with her and called out, "My dear?"
Su Qian came back to her senses and asked, "Huh?"
"Oh... I, let's go."
Rosewood: “Yes.”
After the three of them walked a long way, a man in white walked out of the restaurant, "Is that her?"
Scarred man: "Yes."
"I would recognize her even if she turned into ashes."
Man in white: "It seems that she has forgotten you."
"It doesn't matter if she forgets now, but later... I will make sure she remembers me even after she dies and goes to hell."
…
On the second floor of Juxing Tower, Lu Huan saw his colleagues off and moved to a private room with a view of the main entrance. He ordered a new table of dishes, but when all the dishes arrived, Su Qian still hadn't showed up, and he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Zhongcang!"
Zhong Cang, who was guarding in the dark, rushed out like a gust of wind and said, "Your subordinate is here."
"What's going on with Zhong Wei? Didn't you tell him to bring Su Zhao over for dinner at twilight hour? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Send someone to check."
As Zhong Cang listened, he sighed and said that the master's heart was really obsessed with Su Zhao, and he missed him very much when he couldn't see him for a while.
These days, nine times out of ten, he asked about Su Zhao.
What kind of charm does she have that can make a cold-hearted person who only has revenge in his heart miss her?
Zhong Cang glanced downstairs and said, "Master, the people are already downstairs."
Lu Huan's eyes instantly showed a bright color.
But... soon, he suppressed his emotions and acted serious, calm and indifferent.
Zhong Cang glanced at Lu Huan who was pretending to be serious, and was shocked.
It was also thanks to Su Zhao, otherwise I would not have seen his master in this state.
People in love are indeed not very smart. Zhong Cang didn't dare to look at Lu Huan's embarrassing look for any longer, and turned over and walked out swiftly.
Soon, there was a regular knock on the door of the box.
Lu Huan lowered his voice and said, "Come in!"
Su Qian pushed the door open and walked in: "Are all the dishes served?"
