FID – Chapter 264

Fu Yuzheng could not utter a word for a long time, staring at the pile of powder.

So, after Fu Yuxian feigned a fall, the girl quickly smeared her fingers with this powder while no one was watching.

Right from the start, she knew what Fu Yuxian had in mind.

So, in the end, Fu Yuxian disgraced herself and lost not at all unjustly!

The image of the young lady in Fu Yuzheng’s mind changed in leaps and bounds from quiet and gentle to quirky. 

If she hadn’t been close to her, she probably would have been fooled by her appearance and thought she was a pure and good little girl.

After drinking tea, the three walked out of the teahouse, and before parting ways, Shi Xianruo asked, “Don’t you really want to go with me to visit the Qian mansion?”

Liu Yusheng has yet to set foot in the Qian Mansion since she arrived in the capital.

With her friendship of working with Qian Wanjin for so many years, it made people feel negligent.

“Don’t worry, I will visit there in a few days. I need to prepare in the next few days,” the young girl winked at Shi Xianrou.

She didn’t know what quirky ideas were cooking up in that little head of hers, but it didn’t matter as long as she bore this in mind.

“Then I’ll see you on the day of the garden party. I have to buy fried spring rolls. Xiao Jinjin will be angry if I get there too late.” She reported on time every day, but she was late today. She wondered how that guy would throw a tantrum.

Shi Xianrou automatically changed sprinkling madness into throwing a tantrum. Then she would subconsciously think of how to coax him out of it.

Before she got married, she had to keep her head down. This was the experience of countless veterans in the military.

Of course, after marriage, she must be in his good graces.

Men should have such a temperament, and their wives would spoil them.

Back at the royal residence, the carriage had just stopped when another carriage drove into sight, and the man who ruined her two furnaces of medicine arrived at the door at the same time as she did.

Fu Yuzheng saw the man, and after paying her respects, she withdrew sensibly. 

“Looks like I’m back on time.” Standing in front of the carriage and looking at the man walking towards her, Liu Yuzheng laughed.

“Hmm.” The man hooked his lips and smiled without mentioning that he had returned to the house one step ahead of her. Knowing that she had left the house, he went to look for her.

He has been following her carriage home.

Sitting in the carriage and looking at the vehicle in front of him, he felt very good, knowing that she was inside.

“Did you go to check out the Liu family stores?” He took the woman’s hand and walked towards the royal residence.

The woman was surprised. “How do you know?”

“Well, perhaps it’s a tacit understanding?” He looked down at her, and his eyes were dotted with smiles.

“Since we have such tacit understanding, then you should know what all happened on the street without me having to repeat it again, right?”

“I like hearing your retelling,” the man paused specially before adding, “Your voice is pleasant to hear.”

Liu Yusheng pinched the man’s hand hard. What a flirt!

There was still some time before the meal, so the man led her and went around to the back garden. 

It was the first time she set foot in the back garden after a few days of arriving at the royal residence.

The garden was full of flowers. Although not the scale of the imperial garden, there wasn’t a shortage of exotic flowers and plants. An artificial lake was also built on the winding water veranda. From the corridor down, the kois playing in the lake were clearly visible.

Liu Yusheng was watching intently when the man picked her up and put her on the guardrail of the veranda!

With her feet suspended in the air and the lake behind her, the man blocked her retreat in front.

Liu Yusheng subconsciously clung to the man. “Feng Qingbai, put me down. I will fall!”

“You won’t fall.”

“I will!”

“Are you going to fall for me to see?”

“…”

When she was rendered speechless, a muffled laugh came from the man’s chest.

“Feng Qingbai!” Liu Yusheng was mad. Everything obviously was fine a moment ago. Why did things turn into this all of a sudden?!

“Shengsheng, bear with me.” He grabbed her hands that were scratching him and held them all in his palm, speaking with stifled laughter.

“What ‘bear with you’?” What was it he wanted?!

The man closed in and whispered in her ears, “This height is more suitable for kissing you.”

“…” Liu Yusheng wanted to kick someone in embarrassment and anger.

He actually thought she was short?

Damn it! She could have invented high heels!

“Don’t be angry.” He lightly pecked her lips. “Repeat what happened to you on the street. I want to hear it.”

Liu Yusheng moved her head farther away from him in doubt. “Are you really not going to mess with me?”

“Yes.”

He always stood by his word, so she believed him.

She narrated her encounter with the Fu mother and daughter on the street from beginning to end, ecstatically portraying herself as a witty and talented woman.

She never showed off, but in front of Feng Qingbai, she would unconsciously beautify herself.

“Do you know how fast I was at that time? I reached into my purse and smeared the dye in a blink. No one noticed my subtle movements!”

Speaking of this, Liu Yusheng raised her small chin, completely proud.

But it did not usher in the man’s praise.

He only looked at her with his eyes deep and dark. He pursed his lips without saying a word.

That sort of green and quiet eyes made Liu Yusheng think of a wolf, making her shiver. “Why aren’t you speaking? Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Your voice is very nice,” the man replied inexplicably.

Liu Yusheng’s face turned red. She caught her breath and wanted to speak, but subconsciously kept her mouth shut.

He made her voice sound like an aphrodisiac. How would she dare to make a sound?

What transpired next was omitted (and) quite (harmonious)…

He had been harboring anger since the morning court.

That bunch of old geezers dared to dictate him about his marriage. Trying to control public opinion to force Shengsheng away from him? That depended on whether he agreed or not! It was up to him to say yes or no!
