Don't panic, nephew. I will take this pot of evil star.

Chapter 17 Why do you treat me like this?

Gradually, there were fewer people on the street, and Feng Xili and the others rested in the teahouse for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, it was time to go back.

"Xi'er, a close friend of mine is hosting a tea party at her house in a few days. If you don't mind, how about coming along?"

Kang Jiuyi invited her sincerely and felt that it was particularly easy to get along with this girl.

Feng Xili smiled bitterly. The ladies of this era were too idle. They had a banquet every three days and a small gathering every two days, and most of them were just for showing off.

"Jiuyi, it might not be convenient for me to go, after all..." She paused, raised her face and chuckled.

"It's better not to join in the fun!" Her scalp tingled just thinking about the scene of young ladies and gentlemen from different families competing with each other for beauty.

Kang Jiuyi was a little disappointed, but he didn't want to force it anymore, so he stood up and prepared to go home.

The two of them walked around for a long time, and it was already very nice to have half a day of leisure.

At the entrance of the teahouse, they said goodbye to each other, got on their own carriages, and went in opposite directions.

After a day of running around, Feng Xili felt sore all over and just wanted to go back and rest.

He casually lifted the curtain of the carriage, and suddenly a gray shadow passed by his eyes, along with a hint of strange fragrance, and then he caught a woman's scream in his ears.

Her heart skipped a beat and she looked out. There were few people on the street and nothing seemed unusual.

"Wait!" she shouted, put on her cloak, called her servant, and ran in the direction Kang Jiuyi left.

From a distance, I saw Jiuyi's carriage parked on the side of the road.

what happened?

She went forward to ask, but got no response, and was about to lift the curtain to go up.

"Xier?" Kang Jiuyi looked at Feng Xili in surprise as she was standing next to his carriage.

She turned around and saw Jiuyi coming out of the clinic with a bag of medicine in her hand.

"What's wrong with you?" Is Jiuyi feeling uncomfortable?

"It's nothing. My life hasn't been going well lately, so I went to the doctor and got some medicine." Kang Jiuyi smiled, his expression a little unnatural.

She was silent for a moment, then turned around and took a box from the servant: "This is your hairpin. I'm sorry I took the wrong one."

"Xier, you really are..." Kang Jiuyi laughed after the false alarm.

"Okay! It's too late today, let's go back quickly!" Feng Xili waved with a smile, turned around and left.

Kang Jiuyi then stepped onto the carriage, and behind the curtain sat a man.

The man was wearing a gray smock, had a scar on his right eyebrow, had sharp eyebrows and a pale face.

"Brother, this is ointment for external injuries. Let me apply some for you." Kang Jiuyi hurriedly opened the medicine bag and said anxiously.

The man looked at the flustered girl in front of him, a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.

Kang Jiuyi looked up at him, and found that their eyebrows and eyes were 70% similar.

The man silently watched her apply the ointment on himself, and his clumsy hands ended up getting the ointment all over himself.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt that girl." His voice was hoarse and weak.

Kang He of the Taiwei Mansion had only three daughters and no sons known to the outside world.

Kang Jiuyi bit her lip, "Brother, are you really not going to recognize father anymore?"

The man clenched his fist. He said that he had gone to Kang He tonight to verify the news given by Mu Lanxun. Kang He was separated from his mother due to the war, and Kang He thought his mother had unfortunately died.

His mother did not know Kang He's identity and searched for him in vain. Later, she met a strange man who was impressed by her talent and wanted to take her as his apprentice.

His mother only wanted him to recognize his ancestors and did not want him to become a disciple. Unexpectedly, a strange man tricked his mother into thinking that Kang He had married and had children, and had long forgotten his mother and him.

His mother became depressed and passed away a few years later. He had no choice but to take a strange man as his teacher and leave this land.

If he hadn't met Kang Jiuyi by chance, their similar faces would have aroused his suspicion, and then he would have found Kang He, and the hatred buried deep in his heart would have suddenly burst out.

After going around in circles, it turns out that the master is the culprit.

"Jiuyi, father is already in an important position now, how could he suddenly have such a grown-up son?" He smiled bitterly.

"I'm not an innocent person now, and it's even more impossible for me to appear in front of others." So, forget it.

At least, my mother in heaven can rest in peace.

Kang Hyuk didn't forget her.

He accepted the ointment Jiuyi bought for him, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and smiled gently: "Jiuyi, you must remember that I, Cang Jue, am not a person who does all kinds of evil. Those people all deserved it."

He jumped off the carriage and said solemnly: "If that boy betrays you in the future, I will definitely come to enforce justice on your behalf."

After he finished speaking, Cang Jue disappeared from the carriage.

After Feng Xili left, she walked slowly, still thinking about the person in the Nine-Clothes Carriage.

The carriage's center of gravity was clearly tilted towards the back. Who was inside? Jiuyi didn't seem to want her to know.

"Pingyi, our carriage..." She turned around to ask where her carriage was, but was pulled into an alley by her arm.

Suddenly, a person stood in front of him, and Pingyi behind him disappeared.

"Xixi."

Xiao Ze!

She took two steps back in an instant. The cold moonlight shone on Xiao Ze's face, and the coldness in his eyes made her frightened for a moment.

This scene!!

I dreamed about it.

"What? Don't you recognize me?" Xiao Ze sneered and walked closer step by step.

"Stop!" Feng Xili was in a state of panic. What was going on? Was she dreaming again?

"Do you think I will let you go if you break off the engagement?" He stared at her gloomily, his expression definitely not one of grief over the loss of a loved one.

Feng Xili was so shocked that she bit her tongue tightly and even said the same words!

Me! She cursed in her heart, pinching her fingers, and an idea came to her mind.

"General Xiao, others may not know that scholar, but how could you and I not know him?" Now that there was no one around, he didn't have to pretend to be affectionate anymore.

Xiao Ze smiled evilly: "Tell me, since you already know everything, why don't you just obey me?"

"Why do you treat me like this?" She stared at him quietly, with a look of grievance in her eyes.

He stopped smiling and looked at her.

"Everything happens for a reason. You are just paying off your debts. Just accept your fate!" His nonchalant tone seemed to imply that all this was what she deserved.

Even after hearing it again, Feng Xili was still gritting her teeth in anger.

Can my dreams really foresee the future?

Is it true? Or just a coincidence?

"You, a concubine's daughter, rejected my promise to treat you as the general's legitimate wife. Do you still expect someone to propose to you in the future?" He sneered, not realizing that this woman was really overestimating herself.

"Everything has its reasons... Are you talking about those dirty things someone did back then?" How on earth did he have the nerve to ask me to pay back my debt?

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Ze seemed to be frozen, his eyes were stunned, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across them.

He grabbed her wrist and asked, "What do you know?"

Feng Xili snorted and looked at him with disdain.

Xiao Ze tightened his grip on her wrist and watched her gradually frown.

"Madam Jiang disappeared inexplicably, Mu Lanxun rashly came forward to help you, and your attitude suddenly changed..." He seemed to have figured out the relationship.

It turned out that she knew what happened that year, so she was determined to cancel the engagement at the wedding ceremony. If that was the case, how could she pretend to be ignorant and walk with him to the wedding hall?

It's really like the oriole stalks the cicada, unaware of the mantis behind it!

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her close, grinding his teeth against her ear.
