It was evening in a blink of an eye, because A Yao was not worried about eating the food sent by General Jin, so she took Zhao Jin to cook together.
Huan Ci casually took a book and flipped through it, but Kong Lin had nothing to do.
After being glanced at several times by him, Huan Ci finally couldn't help but look at him: "Why do you keep looking at me?"
"Ah?" Kong Lin was stunned and asked softly, "When we were at the General's Mansion just now, Miss Huan and Mr. Fu——"
"It's just a temporary measure to save Zhao Jin. You don't have to worry about it at this time." Huan Ci's mouth curled up slightly and he looked at him awkwardly.
In fact, that's right. That's what she thought just now, so she did it, and she doesn't regret it now.
It’s just Fu Shen——
"Master Fu seems to be angry." Kong Lin whispered.
Huan Ci looked at the closed door opposite and chuckled, "Whatever, I don't care about him."
Kong Lin raised his handsome eyebrows lightly, looked at Huan Ci and turned his eyes back to the book, and then said nothing.
He was playing with the tea cup in his hand, holding his head and looking outside, when he suddenly saw a tall man walking into the yard.
"Who is this man?" he asked himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man walked in. He looked at him in surprise, and then walked towards Huan Ci.
"Aci."
Hearing him address Huan Ci like this, Kong Lin almost stopped holding the teacup in his hand and looked up at the man.
Huan Ci came back to his senses from the book and saw the person coming with a smile on his face: "Why are you here?"
"I haven't talked to you for a long time, so I came to see you." Ah Lian pulled up a stool and sat next to her.
Huan Ci looked him up and down and felt that he had lost a lot of weight: "Why were you in the capital a few days ago?"
"I helped A Yao because I wanted to save him. Don't you believe me?" Ah Lian was a little anxious.
Huan Ci naturally understood who he was. She smiled and said, "I believe you. It's thanks to you that A Yao is alive."
"She is my sister, I should save her."
Now Kong Lin finally knew his identity, but when he saw that this person was no better than an ordinary servant, and more unrestrained than the woman named A Yao, he felt even more curious.
He frowned and listened silently to the conversation between the master and the servant.
Huan Ci asked: "A Yao said that you have been very close to Lan Fu recently, who are you two?"
"Everything that doesn't exist is all Ayao's conjecture. Don't listen to her nonsense." Ah Lian waved his hand quickly.
Huan Ci blinked. A Yao didn't say anything, and besides, she hadn't even finished her words, so A Lian hurriedly denied it, which was indeed a bit strange.
She suddenly thought of what happened in Lan Fu's room last night, and vaguely felt that it had something to do with Ah Lian.
Before the question could be uttered, he was interrupted by Ayao who walked in with a food box.
A Yao looked at Ah Lian in surprise: "What a coincidence, I was just going to find you."
Without waiting for Ah Lian's response, she quickly opened the food box and said with a smile: "Most of it is Miss Zhao's profit, and it looks delicious."
Zhao Jin stood behind her and smiled softly, placing the dishes and chopsticks on the table.
"Why do you get so many bowls?" Huan Ci asked doubtfully.
Ayao looked at the food on the table with satisfaction, put her hands on her hips and said, "Besides us, there are also Mr. Fu and his people. Don't you care about them?"
"Can General Jin still starve him? Don't invite him."
"But I told Saoye just now when we were at the door." Ayao stared at her with big eyes.
At this moment, Huan Ci caught a glimpse of the door opposite being opened from the inside, and then Fu Shen's face appeared in her eyes.
The man saw her at a glance, but quickly looked away.
Huan Ci curled his lips and asked everyone to sit down quickly.
The table was not big to begin with, but now that there were three more people, it was even more crowded. Besides, everyone had no scruples at first. As soon as Fu Shen came, Zhao Jin did not dare to go to the table to eat, and Lan Fu also stood still.
Huan Ci had no choice but to pull them to sit down one by one. When she turned around, Fu Shen was already sitting next to her.
"It's quite complete today." Huan Ci couldn't help but smile, "It would be better if there was wine."
"Drinking is not allowed in the army." Fu Shen said coldly from the side.
Huan Ci rolled his eyes. Why didn't he say this in the general's residence just now? Now he remembered.
"If you don't want to drink, don't drink." She smiled and sat down, and no one started to move until she picked up her chopsticks.
"You don't have to be polite." Huan Ci glanced at everyone, "Otherwise it would be boring."
But even after she said this, everyone still lowered their heads and no one said a word.
Huan Ci glanced at Fu Shen, who had a cold face, and felt that everyone was like this because of him.
A Yao had been with her since she was a child, and Fu Shen was invited by her. She didn't feel that the atmosphere at the dinner was weird. She picked up her chopsticks and gave A Lian a large piece of meat: "Look at how thin you are. Eat more."
Bar."
"Yes, you have lost a lot of weight and you are not as good-looking as before." Huan Ci agreed very much with A Yao's words and took a piece of meat and handed it to A Lian.
Ah Lian moved the bowl over very naturally, just in time to look at Lan Fu who was sitting opposite. The woman was surprised, and soon she noticed her loss of composure, and quickly lowered her head and stared at the bowl in front of her intently.
Huan Ci naturally noticed something unusual. She looked at the two of them calmly, and saw that Lan Fu's face was crimson, while Ah Lian looked gloomy.
It was really weird. She had to find a chance to have a good chat with Ah Lian.
She was thinking secretly when she suddenly saw a bowl in front of her, filled with soup.
"Miss Huan, this soup is unique to this place. Try it quickly." Kong Lin held the soup and looked at her longingly.
Huan Ci hurriedly took the soup from his hand, chuckled and said, "Thank you very much. Just eat it and don't worry about me."
"I'm not hungry. I see you didn't eat anything at the banquet just now. Besides, you didn't eat anything in the morning, so you must have been hungry for a long time."
"Master Kong is really observant." Sao Ye suddenly sneered.
Everyone naturally heard the sarcasm in his words, and the atmosphere became unnatural again.
Kong Lin glanced at him in confusion, and then moved his gaze to Fu Shen. The man was eating his rice slowly, with no expression on his face, as if he didn't care about what everyone said.
Huan Ci rolled his eyes at him, turned to Kong Lin and said, "This is Mr. Sao, the attendant of Mr. Fu."
"Hahahaha, cough cough——"
A Yao couldn't help but laughed out loud and almost choked on the rice in her mouth. She helped Zhao Jin to cough uncontrollably. A Lian also raised the corners of his mouth, and even Lan Fu covered his mouth with a handkerchief.
The corner of Saoye's mouth twitched and he glared at Huan Ci, but he only received a proud look from the woman.
He turned to look at Fu Shen, but saw that the man was not looking at the two of them, but was staring closely at A Yao who was covering her mouth and coughing.
I must be unable to eat this meal, Sao Ye thought.
Sure enough, Fu Shen gently put down his chopsticks, narrowed his cold eyes, stood up and left.
But as soon as he took a step, the woman next to him grabbed him: "You've just eaten so little and you're full?"
A smile that was hard to detect suddenly appeared in Fu Shen's eyes. He was about to nod when he suddenly heard the woman mockingly say: "Didn't you keep saying not to let me waste food when you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why don't you set an example now?"
"Third Master Fu must have eaten too much at the table just now, so he is not very hungry now." Ayao said softly, "Isn't that right, Third Master?"
Huan Ci clicked his tongue when he heard this. What's going on with this girl? Why are you always looking at Fu Shen recently?
She raised her head and looked at the man, who was also staring at her with piercing eyes. It was getting dark, and the lights had been on in the room early. Now the man was standing against the light, and his facial features were even deeper, which made Huan Ci confused for a moment.
"Thanks to the princess's wine, Fu is still a little drunk, so naturally he can't eat anymore."
In the soft light of dusk, Huan Ci only noticed his lips opening and closing, and didn't react until he was far away.
Except for Kong Lin and Zhao Jian, the rest of the people were naturally confused. Monk Zhang Er looked at Huan Ci blankly.
The scene at the banquet suddenly came to Huan Ci's mind, even more clearly than it was then, and even the taste of the wine reminded her of it.
Huan Ci finally blushed and stared at the man's back, his heart beating very fast.
She glanced at everyone blankly, then lowered her head, almost burying her head in the bowl, and said softly: "Eat quickly, and we'll discuss when to leave after we finish."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Kong Lin asked.
Huan Ci hummed and continued to eat.
After the meal, Sao Ye and Lan Fu quickly returned to the house on the west side and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
When Sao Ye entered, Fu Shen was reviewing documents and never raised his head to look at him.
After being melancholy for a while, Saoye finally took a step forward, half-knelt on the ground and said, "Third Master, I was wrong."
For a long time, the man didn't make a sound. There was only the rustling of paper in the dark room.
Sao Ye knelt for a while, but Fu Shen didn't pay attention to him, so he couldn't help but feel a little flustered. He secretly raised his eyelids to look at the man, and he happened to be caught.
Fu Shen glanced at him coldly: "Have you finished eating?"
"I know my mistake." Sao Ye lowered his head, but he didn't know why Fu Shen asked this.
"Where is Kong Lin? Have you gone back?" the man asked in a low voice.
Sao Ye's brows jumped, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Master Kong followed the princess back to his room."
The room fell into an eerie silence once again. This time, Saoye didn't dare to raise his head again, scolding Huan Ci and Kong Lin in his heart.
It was clearly because of the two of them, but it was he who was suffering here now.
After a long time, his legs became a little numb. Hearing the sound of Fu Shen writing, he secretly moved his legs, but he raised his head in shock because of the man's next words.
Looking at Fu Shen's gloomy face, he hurriedly agreed and limped outside. The back view was so funny that a smile appeared on the corner of Fu Shen's mouth.
When she heard the news, Huan Ci had shock written all over her face. She looked at the tall Sao Ye with her hands on her hips and laughed angrily because of what he just said: "Is he crazy? He set out so late at night? And in such a short time
, how can we clean it up?”
"Girl, you can stay here by yourself, anyway, we are leaving immediately." Sao Ye glanced at Kong Lin behind her lightly, and then looked at her with a smile.
