Even if I can go out.

But Ji Chutang didn't even have the courage to step out of Yunting Courtyard. He was so cooped up in the room that he almost got moldy.

Sitting at the stone table in front of the main house of Yunting Courtyard, looking at the new buds on the branches after the arrival of spring, there were not many people in the yard, only Yuehe and Yueluo stood behind her, and they really never left her side.

Ji Chutang was playing with his nails out of boredom and asked the system: [Where is Fu Ci now? Can I check the progress between him and the heroine? ]

The system looked at the task progress bar that showed no progress and couldn't help but wonder if there was a network delay. The news that the Fu family and the Xie family were about to discuss marriage had clearly begun to spread outside, so why was there no response from the progress bar?

There must be a malfunction.

The system reported the fault while checking where the male protagonist was: [Host, don't worry, I'll check... Well, the male protagonist is at work now, the progress... the progress should be pretty fast. ]

Only then did Ji Chutang feel relieved.

I didn't notice at all that the system was saying an uncertain modal particle.

Thinking that there was no hope for him to escape, Ji Chutang felt irritated and stood up to go back to the house, but a maid came outside to report:

"Miss, thank you for coming and wanting to visit you."

"Ah?" How did she know about me?

Ji Chutang was stunned, then his eyes rolled. Isn't this just giving me a pillow when I'm sleepy?

"Please let her in."

"Yes."

Ji Chutang was looking forward to what expression Xie Ying would have when she saw her.

The system was speechless: [You have a very bad taste! ]

[A commander who doesn't do his job has no right to speak! ]

After just a moment, Ji Chutang heard footsteps.

Xie Ying walked in and stared at a woman in front of the stone table.

The woman leaned lazily, looking up at the maid next to her with bright eyes, as if she was saying something, with a smile on her face.

She was wearing a piece of Jiangnan cloud silk with golden threads and a crabapple hairpin with emerald and ruby ​​on her temples. Everything about her body was exquisite.

As she got closer, the woman turned her head and looked at her intently. This look made Xie Ying terrified.

It’s Jiang Chutang!!!

Xie Ying heard a few days ago that Jiang Chutang had returned to Gusu and was happy for a while, but then she heard from that idiot Fu Yujiao that Fu Ci brought a woman back and hid her in Yunting Courtyard.

This time, Xie Ying couldn't sit still anymore.

Today I have found an excuse to come and investigate, to see who this vixen is that made Fu Ci disregard his dignity and hide her in Yunting Courtyard.

When she came, she dressed up carefully, hoping to use her status, appearance and manners as a lady from an aristocratic family to suppress this vixen.

When she came, she was smiling, with delicate makeup and decent clothes. All the maids and servants in the Fu Mansion praised her and envied her along the way.

But just seeing Ji Chutang, she just sat there calmly, without any words or actions, she was already like the dirt on the ground.

Her teeth were about to break, and she could barely maintain her dignified and respectable expression.

When Ji Chutang saw Xie Ying, he waved to the maid beside him to leave, and then turned to look at Xie Ying.

Xie Ying started out with sarcasm:

"Miss Jiang? Didn't you go back to Gusu? Why are you here? I heard that Master Fu has a mistress hidden in his house. Could it be you?"

"As a noble lady from a prominent family, you would never do such a thing. You must understand the principle of marrying someone and taking him as a concubine."

"You are so disrespectful. I will marry into the Fu family in the future. If you follow the master without any status, you will just be his concubine in the future."

"Then I will be your mistress in the future, and you should pay me a visit. And I think that since you have followed the master now, you should consider his reputation and move out of here as soon as possible, so as not to tarnish the master's reputation. When I marry into the Fu Mansion in the future, I will never forgive you easily."

These words come down.

Ji Chutang: ...

The system couldn't help but comment: [What a crazy woman! ]

Ji Chutang couldn't help but smile: "Miss Xie, I think you're overthinking it."

Xie Ying looked at Ji Chutang with a puzzled expression.

Ji Chutang added: "I have no interest in becoming Fu Ci's concubine."

"Do you really want to be Fu Ci's legal wife, Jiang Chutang? You should have some self-awareness." Xie Ying sneered.

"No, no, no, I don't want to be with Fu Ci at all. It's him who imprisoned me here by any means necessary. It's him who can't let me go. It's him who sticks to me shamelessly. Do you think I want to be with him? It's because he loves me too much."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Xie Ying turned back suddenly and spoke fiercely.

"Oh, nothing is impossible, Xie Ying. As long as you treat him as a treasure, I would rather stay away from him and never see him again in this life."

The expression on Ji Chutang's face was obviously very unhappy, with some resentment.

In Xie Ying's eyes, she even doubted whether this was what Ji Chutang said.

Ji Chutang suddenly leaned close to Xie Ying's ear and said, "Can you help me? I can help you. This way, there will be no more obstacles between you and Fu Ci. Isn't that good?"

Xie Ying was frightened by Ji Chutang and took two steps back: "Impossible, I will never betray Fu Ci."

When she said this, she couldn't help but think in her heart, how great it would be if Ji Chutang really disappeared.

The system then reminded: [Host, the male protagonist is coming this way. He will be here in about two minutes.]

Ji Chutang grabbed Xie Ying's wrist and walked towards the main house. Xie Ying wanted to shake off Ji Chutang's hand, but she couldn't. Ji Chutang's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly holding her.

Walking into the main room, Ji Chutang dragged Xie Ying behind the screen before letting her go.

Xie Ying suddenly shook her hand off, rubbed her wrist, and shouted at Ji Chutang angrily: "What are you doing!"

"Shh, don't talk, don't let Fu Ci find you. You don't believe Fu Ci would do that, right? Then take a good look and consider what I say."

Ji Chutang warned her, his words and tone were solemn.

Then he left in a hurry.

Xie Ying had a jealous look in her eyes. Looking at the scene around her, she couldn't help but feel jealous.

Behind the screen there was a carved yellow pear wood clothes hanger, which was full of women's clothes, with only a few men's clothes in the corner.

There were traces of women everywhere. There was a rabbit lantern with pearls on the table, and on the other side was a huanghuali dressing table used by women, on which were some jars of rouge and powder, as well as some jewelry.

From here one could also glimpse the inner room, the door of which was not properly closed but half open.

The bed in the inner room was also messy, giving people an ambiguous atmosphere.

Xie Ying couldn't bear to watch any further and felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Hearing the noise coming from outside, Xie Ying wanted to rush out and tell Fu Ci how disrespectful Jiang Chutang was to her. As the future mistress, she would never tolerate such a person.

Let him drive Ji Chutang away, or even better, exile him to the manor and never let him back.

But she still held back. She was not sure if what Jiang Chutang said was true, especially after seeing the scene in the main house.

Fu Ci is a decent gentleman, a person who is cold to everyone and like a flower on the mountain top, but he indulged Ji Chutang to this extent.
