One hand talked about the curtain cover of the carriage, revealing a handsome face. Those eyebrows and eyes were once the joy that Han Yan thought about every night, but now they looked like boundless bitterness and desolation.
Wei Rufeng finally saw him in this life. Could it be that this kind of coincidence is a bad fate? Han Yan lowered his head, it was this man who allowed his sister to plot to poison him. He was a gentle gentleman who loved him at first, but he didn't know what terrible thoughts were hidden under that good skin.
Ji Lan didn't expect that the person in the carriage had such a high status, so he was stunned for a moment, but it was the other person who made the mistake first, and he wanted to lower his head to admit his mistake, but he couldn't lose his face.
Shu Hong walked to her side and blessed the people on the carriage: "Sister Cao Min didn't know it was the Crown Prince's carriage, but it was Cao Min's fault that hit the Crown Prince's carriage, so she apologized to the Crown Prince on behalf of her sister. I hope the Crown Prince will forgive you. Let’s go to my little sister for once.”
Wei Rufeng frowned, but when he turned his head, he met a pair of clear eyes. The eyes contained resentment and grievance, desolate and powerless, and finally merged into deep despair, falling firmly on himself.
Wei Rufeng was stunned and realized that the gaze came from a girl dressed as a maid. The girl had an ordinary appearance. He thought for a moment and made sure he didn't recognize her. Why did this strange girl show such an expression to him? He had doubts in his heart, but he heard his coachman scolding the girl who bumped into him in a rough voice: "You are such an unruly girl. The prince didn't say anything, so he must be angry."
Wei Rufeng frowned, he was just going out on the street, why did he cause so much trouble, and he said displeasedly: "It's okay, you can go." When he looked outside the car again, the girl in the crowd had disappeared. Feeling depressed, he shook his hands, lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
The driver could hear the displeasure in his voice and hurried away. Shu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and scolded Ji Lan: "Why can't you keep calm? Looking at the carriage, you can tell that the people inside are either rich or noble. That's why you rushed up like this without any thought! I've hurt the lady, look at you what to do."
Ji Lan curled his lips aggrievedly: "But the cakes were smashed and the carriage was running rampant. How could the prince be so unreasonable? It was obviously their fault first."
Shu Hong shook her head: "I'm still thinking about the cakes. Where is the lady?"
Han Yan walked out of the crowd, and Wei Rufeng seemed to have spotted her just now, and he hid behind a tall woman at a loss. Meeting in such a scene was something she had never imagined. She wasn't ready yet. When she saw her old friend, she had mixed feelings. She was afraid that Wei Rufeng would find out the clues, so she hid.
Seeing Han Yan's pale face, Shu Hong asked anxiously: "Miss, were you frightened?" Then she blamed herself: "It's all my fault, if I had paid more attention, I could have escaped."
Ji Lan said disapprovingly: "How can I blame you? It's clearly the Lao Shizi who is bullying others."
Han Yan was slightly disappointed in her heart. It is said that you start to recognize people by the people around you. If Wei Rufeng's coachman is so arrogant, how can Wei Rufeng himself be any better? When Shuhong apologized just now, she didn't hear him refuse. He was clearly arrogant. How could such a person be confused by his appearance back then
Looking at the crowd around, there are many women in their prime, looking at the direction of the carriage with fascination, their eyes clearly filled with admiration. Yes, that kind of obsessed expression also appeared on her face. With the feelings of a girl, when she sees the other person's richness and handsomeness, her heart will be secretly given to her. Besides, according to Zhuang Yushan, this prince was a man of noble character. Back then, she had no doubt about it, and she just thought how could there be such a good person in the world.
Han Yan's eyes dimmed, and he shook these thoughts out of his mind and said: "Stop talking about this matter, go back home quickly, and don't mention what happened today to outsiders."
Ji Lan and Shu Hong nodded firmly.
As soon as I returned home, I crawled into my yard from the dog hole. Before I could change my clothes after entering the house, I saw Mother Chen walking hurriedly. She was startled when she saw Han Yan, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where are you going, girl?" I've searched all over Qiuxiangyuan but couldn't find it, so I went to inquire quietly. I heard that no one came out of the house today, so I thought there were bad people in the yard. If I can't find him again, I'll have to tell the master."
Han Yan smiled: "Mom, don't worry so much. If you tell father, something might happen again." Besides, how could Zhuang Shiyang really care about her life and death? If Zhou's mother and daughter were adding jealousy to the side, this matter might not be possible. It's over if everything goes smoothly.
Only then did Mother Chen notice her clothes: "Miss, why..." As if she thought of something, she was shocked: "Is the girl leaving the house?"
Han Yan nodded: "It's a long story. I'll go change clothes first."
After Han Yan changed her clothes, she sat down and told Mother Chen what had happened, except that she omitted the section about Wei Rufeng. After hearing the whole story, Mother Chen couldn't help scolding her: "Young lady, you are really fooling around. You went out of the house so boldly. If outsiders find out and tell the master, you will inevitably be punished. People outside don't know the details. If something goes wrong, you will be punished." What should I do if someone bullies me?"
Han Yan comforted her: "I'm with Ji Lan and Shu Hong. Besides, I'm dressing up as a girl, who will notice me. Mom, don't worry. If this happens in the future, just be relieved. Father, you can't go there." If you bother him, don't go."
Mother Chen opened her mouth: "In the future? Will the girl leave the house?"
Han Yan shrugged: "I have to bring Brother Ming to see Senior Yang. Besides, if I want to go to a women's martial arts school to practice martial arts in the future, I'm afraid I'll have to go secretly."
"Girl really wants to practice martial arts?" Mother Chen looked at her: "My daughter's family has always had tender skin and tender flesh. Why should she ask for trouble?"
Han Yan fiddled with the charcoal in the stove: "Today is different from the past. No one in this house protects us, so we can only protect ourselves with a cautious mind."
Mother Chen's eyes were sore and she couldn't express what she felt in her heart, so she stretched out her hand to hold Han Yan in her arms: "Girl, it's really hard."
Han Yan hid in Mother Chen's arms. The warm feeling made her very comfortable. She stretched unconsciously and said, "It's not painful." Compared with her mother and herself in the previous life, this was not painful.
It's peaceful now, but with Zhou's mother and daughter living in the house, there will probably be a lot of trouble soon.
"Ji Lan." Han Yan called.
Ji Lan quickly put down the needle and thread in his hand and stepped forward.
"Are you familiar with the people in Aunt Mei's garden?" Han Yan remembered that before her mother passed away, it was Ji Lan who always inquired about things in Aunt Mei's garden. If there is any news, we will know it as soon as possible.
"Miss said I'm familiar with you, so I'm familiar with you." Ji Lan said with a smile.
Han Yan waved her hand: "Then you go have tea and chat with the girls in Aunt Mei's yard, and tell them that the Zhou family has entered the mansion. The master loves her very much and intends to make her the first wife."
