Hearing this, Huan Ci's eyes widened even more. Someone was watching outside, so how could she run away?
Moreover, this man was acquainted with Fu Shen and had no idea what he was doing.
She opened the quilt angrily and glared at Fu Shen fiercely. Unexpectedly, the man happened to be looking at her too, with a very peaceful expression.
The man had already gone out and closed the door thoughtfully, but he didn't know that this made Huan Ci's alarm ring louder.
"I want to go back." She moved her lips silently to convey her meaning to the man.
Fu Shen curled his lips and smiled softly, but his eyes showed a fierce look.
Huan Ci's face immediately turned pale, and he felt deeply that he was humiliating himself.
In the blink of an eye, the man was close to her ear and whispered: "If you don't perform well today, don't even think about walking out of this door."
Huan Ci understood what he meant in a moment and felt regret in his heart.
It's all because she was so curious that she insisted on running in to investigate, but she didn't know that the mantis was stalking the cicada and the oriole behind her.
An hour later——
On the brightly lit long street, Huan Ci walked with a blushing face, and Fu Shen followed her at a close distance.
Just now she was detained by Fu Shen in the Xiyin Building and had a long-lasting show with him. It was not until the man outside the door left that the two of them hurriedly slipped out.
Huan Ci blushed with embarrassment when he thought of the noises that Fu Shen had caused her to make just now.
Although it was just a show, both of them were extremely sober this time. I really don't know how he could be so calm.
It was already completely dark, but since it was the Lantern Festival, the streets were still busy with traffic. Young boys and girls seemed to be moving in droves, occupying the entire long street.
I don't know who set off the fireworks, but they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Huan Ci was blocked, so she had to stand there and wait. When she turned around, Fu Shen was already standing beside her.
Huan Ci caught a glimpse of his handsome side face, which was even fairer under the light. This scene suddenly overlapped with the scene in his memory, and memories came one after another.
During the Qiqiao Festival that year when she and Fu Shen fell in love with each other, they had enjoyed the fireworks together. At that time, they agreed to go to the lantern festival together during the Lantern Festival, but they never expected that this agreement would come true today by an unexpected combination of circumstances.
"Have you been following me for a long time?" She turned her head and looked away and asked softly.
The man remained silent, as if he had not heard her words.
Huan Ci pursed his lips and grabbed the man who wanted to move forward: "Do you know where she is?"
Fu Shen stayed with her all night, so it was obvious that Mrs. Liu was not looking for him. Moreover, Huan Ci was sure that Mrs. Liu was on the third floor, in the room next to theirs.
"Are you here to catch an adulterer?" Seeing that he remained silent, Huan Ci asked another question.
The corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyebrows also twitched.
"Are you a frequent visitor to the brothel? Otherwise, how could that person know you?" Huan Ci asked.
"You'd better pretend that what happened today never happened." Fu Shen looked back at her and his voice was very low.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Huan Ci nodded firmly.
Just kidding, wouldn't her reputation become even worse if others knew she went to a brothel?
Huan Ci let go of his sleeves and walked through the crowd with him.
Suddenly, the voices of several women beside her came to her ears.
"Last year during the Lantern Festival, I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince standing on the observation deck and looking far into the distance. He was so majestic. But it's a pity that he didn't come today."
"You girl, have you secretly made a promise?"
"Our status is beyond the reach of being a maid to His Highness. What are you thinking about?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just admire His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness is so good-looking and such a kind person, who can not like him?"
"Alas!" A woman sighed heavily, "It's a pity that a person like our Highness actually wants to marry the princess of Ding'an. I really don't deserve it for him."
When Huan Ci heard his name, he couldn't help but prick up his ears.
"Who says it's not the case? Princess Ding'an is now twenty-one years old. I heard that she is a womanizer, loves beauty very much, and once had a male pet. The Li family of Jinyang once wanted to marry her, but in the end they decided not to marry her.
Got married."
"I really don't know how your Majesty could find such a marriage for His Highness. Do you think it's because Your Highness is not His Majesty's biological child?"
"Shh!" "You don't want to die?"
The other two women quickly covered her mouth.
Huan Ci turned around and glanced at the three of them.
They do look like ordinary girls, but I didn't expect her fame to spread so far and have such a wide influence.
"well!"
She sighed deeply and looked at Fu Shen, who had already walked out a few steps away, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Back then, in order to threaten her father, she lied that she had already been with Fu Shen. Later, under the pressure of her father, she finally told the truth. But somehow this matter reached the ears of Li Jinxiu's parents, and the two decided to do so.
He broke off the engagement and spread unfavorable rumors against Huan Ci.
Although those words were not completely true, and his father even had a falling out with Mr. Li because of it, they were ultimately at fault for the matter, and they were unable to suppress the rumors in the end.
As her father's only daughter, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she was indeed a little lawless in the past. She felt guilty both for Fu Shen and her father.
But now there is a war at the border, and she is celebrating the festival in the capital, while her father is resisting the enemy at Yanmen Pass.
"Fu Shen!"
She suddenly called out to the man in front of her.
She thought she could do something for her father.
Although the voices were noisy, Fu Shen actually heard her voice.
The man stopped a few steps away. His figure paused, but he did not look back.
Huan Ci ran over quickly, turned to him and looked up at him: "I couldn't forgive you for what happened in the past."
After hearing this, Fu Shen gave her a cold look and said expressionlessly: "What happened in the past?"
"You can deal with me, and I won't have any complaints. But my father is fighting on the front line for the people, can you let him go first? You also know how much the court will pay if Yanmen Pass is lost." Huan Ci murmured.
.
"Get out of the way." The man's face suddenly turned gloomy and terrifying.
Huan Ci looked at his depressed eyes and retracted his hand holding his sleeve in embarrassment.
She didn't know why he was angry, let alone what to say.
Fu Shen walked past her with a cold face and his steps became much faster.
After all, the two were neighbors, and now they were walking on the same road. Huan Ci no longer had the courage to go up and talk to him, so he followed quietly behind him.
When she passed the door of Fu Shen's house, the door happened to be closed from the inside.
Huan Ci pursed her lips, looking at the closed door and feeling very frustrated. She kicked the pebbles on the roadside in annoyance, but she didn't want the pebbles to fly far away and finally hit the door.
Looking as if someone was about to open the door, Huan Ci blinked, picked up his skirt and ran quickly into his yard.
Behind her, a boy withdrew his head, stared at the man in front of him, scratched his head and said, "It must have been Princess Ding'an who threw a stone."
Then, he heard Mr. Fu, who was always calm, sigh softly, and quickly turned around and went back.
He was the only one who was still frozen in place, recalling the look he had just caught.
It turns out that Master Fu also has a depressed side, just because he was kicked out by the rumored female overlord?
The boy shook his head. Even Lord Fu was afraid of this woman. He would definitely avoid her when he saw her from now on.
