Su Ruanruan put down her veil and turned to leave, and he quickly grabbed Su Ruanruan's arm.

"Sir, please respect yourself!"

Zeng Yuan wanted to maintain his image as a scholar in front of others, so he quickly let go of Su Ruanruan's arm.

"I am sorry for being rude, please forgive me, young lady."

He glanced at the handkerchief in Su Ruanruan's hand again, "This handkerchief belongs to me. My follower was reckless and frightened the girl. Please don't blame me!"

Su Ruanruan handed the handkerchief to him and said, "Since it belongs to you, I will return it to its original owner."

Zeng Yuan wanted to say something, but Su Ruanruan had already turned and left.

Zeng Yuan put the embroidered handkerchief under his nose and sniffed it. A rich sweet osmanthus fragrance came from it. This should be her scent.

Su Ruanruan put the burden back on her uninjured shoulder and turned away.

But those eyes full of autumn water and the face as beautiful as a peach or an apricot were deeply imprinted in Zeng Yuan's heart.

"Go find out who this girl is and which family she belongs to."

The servant had his head down just now, and from his angle he didn't see Su Runrun's face, but he had been following the young master, so he naturally knew that this girl was the one who set up a stall in the academy, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out.

Su Ruanruan didn't look back at him, and strolled leisurely on the street under the identity of Su He.

Finally we stopped at the stall of an uncle selling chili sauce.

……

Su Ruanruan carried her load and walked towards the south of the city, where there were many laborers waiting to work.

One steamed bun costs two cents, and two steamed buns plus two large spoonfuls of chili sauce costs five cents.

Buy ten steamed buns and get one steamed bun free.

Buy ten steamed buns with chili sauce and get two more steamed buns for free.

How could they afford so many steamed buns? But they were reluctant to give up this small bargain, so they started to buy them in groups, and shared the extra buns among themselves.

In a short while, all the steamed buns in the carrying pole were sold out.

The chili sauce didn't cost much. After deducting the cost, I could probably make about 40 or 50 cents.

Su Ruanruan hid in an empty corner and counted the copper coins in her hand.

What a mistake. There are not enough steamed buns.

The area in the south of the city where coolies gathered was a good place to sell these cheap foods.

But Su He insisted on staying at Fengshui Bridge. She remembered Zi Wu had advised her to leave there.

Unfortunately, she didn't listen and only focused on Mu Bai.

Su Ruanruan was sighing when she noticed several constables coming over here on patrol from a distance. The tallest one was very familiar.

She quickly put away the copper coins and walked away quickly with her empty load on her back.

I wandered around other places until dark, bought two buns, and then returned to where I lived in Suhe.

He also greeted the lady next door and the blacksmith uncle warmly.

Only after returning to Suhe's house and locking the doors and windows did she take off the veil on her head.

That night, Zeng Yuan found out the true identity of the woman wearing a veil hat and selling steamed buns.

"You said her name is Su He? She really lives up to her name."

The attendant said, "Sir, do you still remember the sensational case of flower-stealing robbers? Miss Su was one of the many girls. She now lives in Qu'er Lane and makes a living by selling steamed buns."

"only……"

"Just what?" Zeng Yuan glanced at his follower.

"It's just that she was a girl whose virginity was taken away by a flower thief."

Zeng Yuan twisted the handkerchief in his hand and looked at the camellia in full bloom by the window. "Tsk... What a pity. Such a beauty was picked by someone else."

The attendant was puzzled. His young master had seen all kinds of beauties, but why did he sigh over Su He?

"Master, I heard that Miss Su is pretty, but in our area, she shouldn't be stunningly beautiful, right? Why are you still sighing?"

"Not stunning? Is there something wrong with my eyes, or are they too picky?"

Although he only saw half of her face, Zeng Yuan could already imagine what kind of beautiful face was beneath the veil.

Why have I never seen her before?

Quer Lane? It's where the poor live. No wonder I've never seen her before.

In the middle of the night, after they fell asleep, Su Ruanruan got up and steamed buns.

By the time the other people in the yard were packing up, Su Ruanruan had already left with her burden on her back.

Zeng Yuan did not sleep all night, with that beautiful face in his mind. He appeared in Qu'er Lane before dawn.

After Su Ruanruan walked away, he was still standing there in a daze, looking around.

Su Ruanruan naturally saw Zeng Yuan and his servant, but she pretended not to see them.

It happened that Aunt Li came out to splash water, and she saw a nobleman in extraordinary clothes staring at a beautiful figure in a daze.

"Sir, do you know Su He?"

"Su He." Zeng Yuan understood that the woman was really Su He.

In front of others, he was gentle and polite, with a smile on his face, "I guess we know each other."

Aunt Li was a little confused. When did Su He meet such a young man? Why had she never heard her mention him?

When she looked up again, the young man had already gone after Su He.

"Girl, please stay."

Su Ruanruan raised her eyebrows and pretended not to hear.

Until a man in crescent white blocked her way.

Although they were both wearing white, Mu Bai was captivating at first sight, while he only made her feel sick.

Su Ruanruan took a step back, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

"Girl, don't you remember me?"

Su Ruanruan shook her head, "I have no impression."

Zeng Yuan frowned and for the first time doubted his own charm.

In the past, all those girls were completely fascinated by him.

Even those secret prostitutes tried their best to get him to stay overnight.

But there has never been a woman who failed to remember him.

It doesn't matter whether she really can't remember or she is playing hard to get.

In short, he just wanted her.

He followed Su Ruanruan wherever she went.

He even asked his followers to help Su Ruanruan carry the burden, but Su Ruanruan refused.

For two consecutive days, wherever Su Ruanruan appeared, she would happen to meet Zeng Yuan, and she always had a humble attitude.

The more he pretends on the surface, the crazier he is at night. He ruthlessly ravages the pretty girl in the dark alley again and again.

That day, after Su Ruanruan finished selling the steamed buns, she went to the jade shop where she had brought Su He in that day.

When the shopkeeper saw the girl in the veil and recognized her voice, he sighed.

"My lady, this jade pendant with green flowers, butterflies and leaves costs three taels of silver. It can't be any cheaper! You said that day that it is exactly the same as your mother's relic. And this jade pendant is only available in my shop. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see this shop again."

Su Ruanruan twisted her hands tightly, pretending to prick them with a needle, "Please be merciful, shopkeeper, and give me a cheaper price."

The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the waiter came forward and asked Su Ruanruan to leave.

Su Ruanruan knew that Zeng Yuan was nearby, and she was waiting for the opportunity to be in the same frame with him in the jade shop.

But before she could wait for Zeng Yuan, she waited for the person she least wanted to see.

"What's going on?" Huo Yan was patrolling the street when he heard some noise in the store.

The shopkeeper saw that he had alarmed the captain, and hurriedly put on a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this girl wanted me to sell her a jade pendant at a low price. I can't do a business that will lose money, so I can only ask her to leave."

Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the silent woman standing beside him. She was wearing a veil and her face could not be seen.

But her attire and height seemed very similar to the woman I had seen at Fengshui Bridge before.

At that time, she would always be seen selling steamed buns around Mu Xiucai.

Huo Yan suddenly remembered the burden he saw at the door just now.

"Are you the woman who sells steamed buns at Fengshui Bridge?"

Su Ruanruan nodded, "It's me."
