Situ Xiang took the brocade and walked away happily after being coaxed by Gu Changan for a few words.
It was only when Situ Xiang got out of Fanghua Garden that she realized something was wrong, "What's wrong? Didn't I come here to chat with my good nephew about Yun Heng? Why did I bring the brocade out?"
Situ Xiang slapped his head, "Oh no! She was taken away!"
But now that he couldn't run back, Situ Xiang couldn't help but despise himself for being so lacking in determination.
She sighed again and again, and had to face Yun Heng's iceberg face when she went back. This good nephew was really not good at all, how could he lead her, a junior sister, by the nose?
Just as he was thinking about how to comfort Yun Heng's injured heart, several servants suddenly passed by.
The first few shouted, "Go to the doctor quickly! Mr. Fang has fainted!"
The few at the back were carrying a green-faced young man and passed by Situ Xiang.
Situ Xiang recognized the person who caused trouble in front of Fanghua Garden at a glance. She immediately raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but sneered, "What are you doing in such a hurry? You won't die."
After saying this, several maids squatting not far away tending the flowers and plants seemed not to notice Situ Xiang. They looked at Fang Yan being dragged away by the servants as if no one else was around and discussed:
"Yesterday Mr. Fang and the eldest lady were drinking in Fanghua Garden, and they were carried out like this. Why did it happen like this when we went to Fanghua Garden today?"
Youth Garden?
drink wine?
Situ Xiang's eyes suddenly widened, and he quickly hid behind the rockery nearby and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
"Master Fang, it's all trivial. Didn't you listen to the people in Rongchun Garden? Master Qing lost his temper after coming back from Fanghua Garden, and the servants suffered a lot."
A maid followed and said softly: "Young Master Qing never pays attention to Fanghua Garden, but this time when he heard Young Master Fang and the eldest lady drinking..."
"Didn't the second young lady go to Rongchun Garden today and then come out after a short stay? They say it was Young Master Qing who kicked the second young lady out..."
"Is it possible that Young Master Qing is empathizing..."
This became more and more outrageous. An older maid interrupted them, "Forget it, let's not talk about this."
"Master's affairs are not something we can guess."
Several maids looked at each other and felt that it would be bad to talk about this topic any further, so they wisely kept their mouths shut.
Just like that, they all dispersed and went about their own business.
Only Situ Xiang was hiding behind the rockery, pinching her thighs constantly. In order not to be discovered just now, she had to put in so much effort to suppress herself from making a sound.
With her thighs bruised, Situ Xiang took a breath and walked out from behind the rockery.
But just walking around, you can hear such exciting news.
Situ Xiang didn't dare to stay at Gu's house for a quarter of an hour now. He ran back to the Imperial Master's Mansion and told Yun Heng the news like a treasure.
Yun Heng was painting at this time. He stood tall and straight behind the screen, looking down at the scrolls on the desk carefully.
Situ Xiang knew that he didn't like people to disturb him when he was painting, and he didn't dare to go around the screen. After telling what he heard at the Gu family, he stayed there honestly, waiting for Yun Heng's reaction.
The screen was so transparent that one could even catch a glimpse of the painting behind the desk. The inkstone was pressed against a corner, and Yun Heng was waving a pen on the paper. The black penholder made his fingers as green as jade.
The person in the painting, Situ Xiang, has a very good eye, and he can identify who is in the painting at a glance.
She secretly criticized Yun Heng for being so boring and secretly drawing other people.
After Yun Heng finished sketching, he said: "You said that person's surname is Fang?"
"Yes." Situ Xiang nodded.
"The surname is Fang... I remember that there was a person named Fang who participated in the martial arts examination this year." Yun Heng said.
Situ Xiang said in a dumbfounded voice: "Is this your reaction? Didn't you hear what I said later? Liu Weiqing even made a fuss in Fanghua Garden over this, and the Gu family members were all talking about whether he was in love with someone else."
Does he know the seriousness of the matter?
Yun Heng put down his pen and asked Situ Xiang, "If you are not staying at home today, what are you going to do at Gu's house if you have nothing to do?"
Situ Xiang: "..."
Is this the point?
"What did you tell her?"
This sentence could make Situ Xiang choke to death, and his eyes immediately began to move around, trying to hide the truth, "I didn't say anything, I just went to catch up with her after not seeing her for a long time, and brought back a piece of brocade by the way."
In order to prove the authenticity of her words, she emphatically shook the brocade in her hand.
Yun Heng didn't follow Situ Xiang's example, "Have you gone to tell her about the letter?"
Situ Xiang suddenly became speechless.
Yun Heng looked at Situ Xiang, "Why don't you speak anymore, huh?"
"That does say a little bit." He said yes, and Situ Xiang swallowed, "But your little apprentice is very powerful. I was led by her and I didn't even ask why."
Yunheng knew what Gu Changan didn't want to say, so there was no use asking anyone.
"I know." Yun Heng's lips curved.
Listening to Yun Heng's voice, he seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Why did it sound like he was in a good mood now?
Situ Xiang couldn't understand him, "Your little apprentice really plans to treat you as his brother. Moreover, he drank with other men yesterday, and some people were jealous, but you didn't react at all?"
"Doesn't this just prove that she is popular?"
Situ Xiang: "You win."
She now feels that Yun Heng's brain may be broken. Could it be that he suffered too much of a blow and gave up on himself?
But Situ Xiang didn't notice that the penholder in Yun Heng's hand behind the screen had been broken into powder.
He was calm on the surface, his eyes fell on the smiling girl on the scroll, her face as gloomy as ink.
After Situ Xiang left Fanghua Garden, Gu Changan found out about Fang Yan's fainting. She asked Shaoyao and Iris and found out that Situ Xiang had drugged him.
It doesn't matter if you drug Fang Yan, he has no use value anyway, and Gu Changan doesn't have to make excuses in front of him.
It's just that if someone faints over something as big as this, Gu Yuan will inevitably cause trouble for him.
Although Gu Yuan didn't want Fang Yan to be the top martial artist, he also didn't want people to cause problems in his house.
About time after lunch, Gu Yuan came to Youth Garden.
When he saw Gu Changan, he asked angrily: "What poison did you poison Fang Yan?"
"I didn't do anything." Gu Changan replied.
"How could that person faint after just one visit to Fanghua Garden!"
Gu Changan said calmly: "He bullied my maid, and the people from the Imperial Prefect's Office happened to be there to teach him a lesson."
Gu Yuan didn't know anyone else from the Imperial Prefect's Office, but Gu Changan still had no connection with the Imperial Preceptor's Office. This was a big taboo for him. "Why are there people from the Imperial Prefect's Office?"
"You also know that person, she is the female doctor who saved me when I fainted and almost died." Gu Changan smiled at Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan's face turned green, remembering the time when Feng Ya led someone to break into Gu's house.
When he spoke again, his tone was no longer so fierce, but full of warnings, "Before the martial arts competition, you'd better not cause any more trouble for me, otherwise you're the only one asking!"
Gu Changan looked like he wasn't listening at all.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yuan became furious, "I know you've been trying to get in front of Fang Yan these days, so let me remind you that you can't marry anyone except Liu Weiqing!"
After saying that, Gu Yuan rolled up his sleeves and left.
Gu Changan was left staring at his back and said unhurriedly: "When he fails to become the number one scholar in martial arts, I'll see what you should do."
