Chapter 348 Heartbeat
It is said that after Bai came out of Shangpin Pavilion, she did not rush to get in the carriage, but strolled on the street with the help of her maid.
As she walked, she was plotting in her mind how to make the matter known to everyone and ruin the reputation of that evildoer. Even if she couldn't ruin his marriage, she would at least make him fail in the business world.
Reputation, once destroyed, is like a dog-skin plaster; once it sticks, it is difficult to get rid of.
She believed that sooner or later this evil creature would no longer be able to survive in the capital. When that happened, his marriage would naturally be over.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that the maid beside her started to leave when she saw that her master was slow to speak. But at this moment, Bai was suddenly bumped by someone and almost fell to the ground.
When she finally steadied herself, she saw a man dressed as a beggar walking away from her side quickly and soon disappeared.
Bai's heart trembled, and she thought of something. She hurriedly searched for her purse and the purse containing the paper.
She was shocked to find that not only those two things were gone, but even a jade pendant that she always wore around her waist was missing!
In a panic, she immediately screamed:
"There's a thief, everyone, help catch him! ..."
However, when passers-by heard her shouting, no one paid any attention to her except subconsciously holding their purses tightly and quickening their pace to leave.
Bai's chest was heaving with anger, and her eyes were dark. She was unwilling to let her things be stolen, so she ordered her servants to report to the government office, and returned to the inn with a lot of anger to wait for news.
But how could there be any real news? Even though she gave the officials several times the amount of money she had lost just to get her purse back, there was still no response.
So, Bai, whose health had been well, fell ill again.
Mr. Liu went to Shangpin Pavilion again while she was bedridden, but Fu Qiuyang didn't see him at all and directly asked Manager Li to send him away.
The old man was so angry that he could not do anything. He actually knew that Bai had come here without telling him last time, and he also knew what Bai was planning.
The reason why he didn't stop him was that he wanted to make this bastard bow his head. As long as he agreed to return to the Liu family, he would help to completely smooth over the previous things.
But who would have thought that that stupid woman couldn't even do such a simple thing!
Devastated, Mr. Liu packed his bags and left the capital with his family of four, regardless of his wife's illness.
This farce has finally come to an end.
Fu Qiuyang sat in the study, holding the letter in his hand in silence for a long time, his expression went from complicated to calm.
Shangguan Yunxin walked in from outside and saw that his eyes were unfocused and his body was motionless, obviously in a trance.
So he walked closer, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Come back to your senses. What are you thinking about so intently?"
Fu Qiuyang held the girl's playfully shaking hand, pulled it to his lips and kissed it gently, but she immediately pulled her hand back.
Shangguan Yun was extremely ashamed and annoyed, and blushed as she said:
"Don't mess around. If someone sees me, I will ignore you!"
"Okay, okay, I promise to only do this when no one is around." Fu Qiuyang gave a charming smile, his seductive peach blossom eyes full of tenderness and affection.
When Shangguan Yunxin was looked at like this, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably, and the originally warm and comfortable room suddenly became a little hot.
This feeling made her very uncomfortable, and the only thought in her mind was to escape immediately.
But Fu Qiuyang did not give her a chance to escape. He held her slender waist and picked up a pen to quickly write two lines on the paper.
Shangguan Yunxin was attracted by what he wrote and forgot to struggle. When he finished writing, she asked in confusion:
"Isn't this what was written on the letter? You..."
She suddenly realized something in the middle of her words, pointed at one of the words with her slender finger and said:
"The word '思' appears twice here, and it's obviously written in two different ways. The vertical stroke in your 田 character is very short, while the one on the paper is straight through.
One time can be called accidental, but this is clearly your habit. In this case, we have sufficient reason to prove that the letter was not written by you at all!"
Her eyes were bright and her smile was more brilliant than ever. Even though there was a long scar on her cheek, it could not hide her beauty at all.
Fu Qiuyang looked a little dazed for a moment, and he murmured:
"There is a beautiful woman, I never forget her when I see her; I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day. My dear, when can we get married?"
"How can I make the decision? I have to listen to my parents' arrangements."
Shangguan Yunxin felt that her cheeks had never been so hot. She could no longer bear it, broke free from the arm around her waist, and trotted away.
The smile on Fu Qiuyang's lips lasted for a long time, until he could no longer see the beautiful figure, he withdrew his gaze from the door.
He looked at the letter again and couldn't help shaking his head. Back then, he was such a loser, he was so sad about his father's distrust that he never looked at the paper carefully!
Now, he will have his own little home and live a comfortable life. Thinking of this, he was immediately full of energy and handled the affairs at hand more efficiently.
Speaking of Shangguan Qingyue, she spent three days of comfortable days in the Third Prince's Mansion. During these three days, she put all her attention on studying food.
Xuanyuan Yan's handsome face became much plumper under her "feeding".
Another thing is that she used her usual realistic style to paint the young man with flowers in his hair on paper.
When the last stroke was finally put into place, the little girl stretched halfway when she suddenly flew into the air and was held in the arms of someone.
Xuanyuan Yan buried his entire face in her neck, rubbing it left and right like a cat, sniffing the light scent of silver dan grass emanating from the girl, and regained some clarity of mind.
He said with some amusement and helplessness:
"Other girls have the sweet scent of various pollens, but you are the only exception. Your scent is fresher than the incense used by men."
Shangguan Qingyue pushed him uncomfortably and said hesitantly:
"What kind of madness is this? Put me down quickly! If someone sees me, my remaining reputation will be ruined."
This was originally a joke, but Xuanyuan Yan's whole body froze after hearing it. He first hugged the girl tighter, then let go and put her on the chaise longue beside him.
He kissed the little girl gently on the forehead, and then said apologetically:
"I'm sorry for wronging you. I won't do that again."
Their eyes met, and a strong feeling of love flowed between them. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little charming, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Xuanyuan Yan regained his sanity, cleared his throat and asked:
"What's the matter?"
Qing Yi replied respectfully outside the door:
"My Lord, it is the Divine Doctor Nanrong who has brought Miss Zhou and Young Master Li here."
Shangguan Qingyue's eyes darkened instantly, he sighed softly, and said with some disappointment:
"It seems they are here to say goodbye to us. Alas, parting is always sad."
"Both little guys need to experience life. If they study hard with their uncle, they will definitely achieve great things in the future. You have to sacrifice to gain. Don't be sad.
I was combing your hair again, but it got messed up by accident just now."
What he was referring to was naturally the hug that he couldn't help himself from before, but Shangguan Qingyue had no intention of thinking about anything else, and instead asked in surprise:
"Your Highness, can you comb your hair?"
Xuanyuan Yan coughed lightly.
"Well, it looks like it shouldn't be difficult. I'll give it a try and let Bing Ling watch and give me some pointers."
Speaking of Bing Ling, Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but admire her learning ability. In just two months, she seemed to have been reborn, and she learned very well from Mother Wu.
Whether it was needlework, dressing or hairdressing, she had learned everything a maid could do.
One has to admit that Xuanyuan Yan is very good at hands-on work. With just a few pointers from Bing Ling, he successfully combed Shangguan Qingyue's hair into a playful and lively double spiral bun.
There is a bow tied on each side with a lily-colored ribbon. The long ribbon hangs down between the shiny black hair, which is elegant and cute.
Then, he produced a delicate bead necklace from somewhere and wrapped it around her hair, making the already bright and lively girl even more beautiful.
Even Bing Ling, who was always calm and composed, had a look of surprise in her eyes. People said her daughter was plain-looking, but in her opinion, she was just beautiful without being ostentatious.
Just like the silver dan grass, it may not look good, but the fragrance it emits is unmatched by any other spices.
