Seeing Feng Zhiwen sneaking out, Feng Yuan frowned: "You brat, where are you going?"
The latter froze, turned around, and forced a sheepish smile: "Let's go for a walk."
Feng Yuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll go with you!"
"No need!" Feng Zhiwen quickly stopped him. Meeting his father's suspicious gaze, he racked his brains for a better word. "Well, weren't you going to check out the shop? It's not on my way, Dad... I'll be going now!"
With that, he disappeared in a flash. Feng Yuan stared in the direction he left, muttering to himself with a puzzled look, "This kid, I feel like he's hiding something."
...
Baiyun Temple.
"Miss, that fool is here again."
A woman dressed in a zi-style robe was fiddling with prayer beads in her hand. Upon hearing this, she stopped and looked up, revealing a delicate face. Jiang Qingyue's eyes were unreadable, and she slightly curled the corners of her lips: "Go out and take a look."
Since the incident at the Princess's residence, her reputation has plummeted. Her family despised her for disgracing the family and dared not offend the Princess, so they hurriedly sent her to a nunnery to avoid trouble.
It's called a place of spiritual cultivation, but everyone knows that once a woman who has made a mistake in her family is sent to such a place, her fate is almost always death, and very few of them can be taken back!
Jiang Qingyue was naturally unwilling to waste her life in a nunnery, and at the same time, she harbored a deep resentment towards Shen Tangning.
If it weren't for her, how could I have ended up in this situation?!
By sheer coincidence, she met Feng Zhiwen and learned that he was actually Chi Yan's cousin.
This man was not only stupid but also naive. Most importantly, he didn't understand the situation in Yanjing at all. Jiang Qingyue was just playing the victim and easily fooled him with a few words.
Looking at the boy eagerly waiting below the steps, the faint morning light filtering through the branches, Jiang Qingyue's eyes caught the half-light and half-shadow, and a chill ran through her heart:
Shen Tangning is so heartless, completely disregarding the sisterly bond we've shared over the years, so don't blame her for being impolite!
Feng Zhiwen caught sight of the person on the steps, his eyes lit up instantly, and he took a few steps to go to meet her, but then stopped hesitantly, afraid of being too forward with the beauty: "Miss Jiang."
A smile played on Jiang Qingyue's lips, a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Young Master Feng, what brings you here?"
Feng Zhiwen scratched his head sheepishly, staring down at his toes: "I... was just passing by and thought I'd drop by!"
The boy thought he had hidden his thoughts well, but little did he know that his every move was being calculated by others.
Jiang Qingyue relaxed her brows and said, "I don't have anything to do right now, so why don't I accompany you for a stroll?"
Feng Zhiwen suddenly looked up, her ears turning red, and asked cautiously, "Is this... alright?"
“Of course, aren’t we friends?” Jiang Qingyue smiled.
We're just friends...
Feng Zhiwen's eyes showed a slight disappointment, but he quickly regained his composure:
Having experienced the ups and downs of life, Ah Yue must be heartbroken right now, so how could she dare to talk about romantic love?
Feng Zhiwen secretly made up her mind: how could she, a young woman in the prime of her life, stay in such a poor place and waste her precious youth?
Moreover, the nuns here are not easy to deal with; they often deliberately make things difficult for her. He is determined to rescue Miss Jiang from her dire situation!
"Young Master Feng...have you seen Tang Ning?"
