Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns
Chapter 201: Anger and Confession
The backyard of the clinic is so quiet that it seems isolated from the world.
Su An and Fu Zhun sat on either side of the stone table, the tea set on it remained untouched. This was the first time since they met that they sat at such a distance from each other.
"I just want to ask you, how much of what he said is true? Was it really your instruction to find the Heavenly Master?" Su An looked at him steadily without blinking, but his hands kept tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, and he was afraid to breathe.
These cold words made Fu Zhun's eyebrows twitch, and panic and regret flashed in his eyes.
He nodded silently, his expression less calm: "Yes and no. Xiao An, listen to my explanation."
"Yesterday he mentioned that you were resurrected from the dead and that you were not the original Su An. I did have some suspicions, so I agreed with his approach for the time being."
His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he stared at Su An with a complicated expression, and whispered: "I admit that it was my fault for not stopping him, but I was definitely not the mastermind. I just... want to find out the truth about you and what you have been through."
"Also, who are you?"
Su An's eyes narrowed when she heard that, and she felt like something hit her head, making it even harder for her to breathe.
In fact, even if Fu Zhun didn't reveal it, she could probably guess it.
He and He Cheng must have discussed something yesterday, which led to He Cheng making such a big fuss this morning by calling in a lousy Taoist priest for a ritual. Fu Zhun couldn't have been unaware of the commotion, but he didn't intervene immediately, presumably because he was observing him.
He also wanted to see whether his true form would be revealed under the Taoist priest's spell.
It was impossible to say that he wasn't sad. Su An lowered his eyelids to hide his slightly aggrieved red eyes, and said angrily: "After knowing who I am, what do you want to do? To eliminate this demon like me in the name of justice?"
"If that's the case, then why did you come out to stop it just now? Do you think it's fun to tease me?"
Fu Zhun rarely saw her so angry. He was stunned for a moment, then felt anxious and pushed the wheelchair closer quickly.
"I'm not teasing you, I just want to know the real you." He paused for a moment, then curled up and retracted his hand, staring at her in panic.
"But when I saw you being accused without reason just now, I knew it was my own fault. No matter who you are, I believe you."
These words made Su An freeze for a moment, and he turned his head away in panic, avoiding Fu Zhun's black eyes full of guilt.
It was not difficult for her to hear the urgency in Fu Zhun's tone. Moreover, the dignified prince actually apologized to her...
"Your Majesty, since you want to know the truth so much, I won't hide it from you."
Rather than waiting for He Cheng to expose this matter out of desperation, she might as well confess it to Fu Zhun now.
She took a deep breath, raised her eyes and met the man's dark eyes, and spoke word by word: "I am indeed not the original Su An. The original Su An in this body died of illness a long time ago, and I traveled through time and possessed him at that time!"
Fu Zhun's breathing quickened for a moment, his pupils contracted, and his eyes showed shock.
Is this actually true?
"I don't belong to this dynasty. I'm just an ordinary person from the 21st century, a gourmet and a chef. After I was inexplicably possessed, I could only go back to my old job. The food you usually see is common in my time." Su An explained in one breath.
"The last time I died of poisoning, my soul returned to my original world, just like a dream. I don't know why it was so bizarre, I was confused myself. So, Your Highness, do you believe these absurd words of mine?"
At the end of his words, Su An turned and looked at him with a hint of uneasiness on his face.
What if, what if, Fu Zhun can't accept it and treats her as a wandering ghost, and burns her to death to exorcise the evil spirit?
That is such a huge injustice!
"I believe you."
Just as she was lost in thought, Fu Zhun's hoarse voice suddenly rang out.
Without hesitation, he said, "I only like you, your soul, and nothing to do with any physical body."
Those dark eyes seemed to have magma surging and rolling, and when they fell on Su An's body, he felt particularly hot.
Her face instantly turned red like a tomato, but she still blinked in disbelief, "You don't think I'm a demon?"
Fu Zhun's lips curled up into a deep smile as he spoke, "How could there be such a kind-hearted demon like you in this world? You could almost say you're the goddess of the underworld descended to earth."
Su An: "..."
Emma, this man is breaking the rules!
But finally, the stone in my heart was put down, and there was a surge of joy and sweetness.
"Do you mind telling me what the world is like over there?" Fu Zhun poured a cup of tea and handed it to her with a smile on his face.
Su An's eyes suddenly lit up, and he became very interested. Isn't this just explaining new technology to a country bumpkin? He will also be so humble and willing to learn from him one day!
"That's a story! Let me tell you, in my world, airplanes and cannons..."
"You mean, the two of them didn't have a fight or a breakup? They were still talking and laughing?!"
Inside the post station, He Cheng stood up immediately with a dark and ugly face when he heard the guard's report.
The guards below didn't even dare to raise their heads and said, "I heard it clearly from outside. There's no quarreling inside, they're actually getting along harmoniously. Those two don't seem to be about to break off their relationship..."
He Cheng's lips trembled, his teeth chattered, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Wasn't Fu Zhun deeply in love with Su An? Knowing that Su An was just a wandering spirit, shouldn't he be furious?!
"How could this happen! They can't even handle a small thing, they are all a bunch of good-for-nothings!" He suddenly swept the teacup beside him to the ground, paced back and forth angrily, with a look of unwillingness on his face.
Suddenly, he thought of something and stopped, his eyes gleaming with viciousness as he said, "Go, let Mudan come see me!"
Soon, Mudan walked in gracefully, led by the guards.
Seeing the mess on the ground, her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said to He Cheng with a fake smile: "My Lord Envoy, you should know that I am the leader of the Shadow Guards and cannot easily reveal my identity. Why did you call me here so blatantly?"
He Cheng frowned in dissatisfaction with her attitude, but he was in no mood to care about it at the moment. He quickly told her his plan and asked her to carry it out.
After hearing his words, Mudan bit her lower lip and smirked: "Sir, this method is really too immoral. Although Su An and I have different positions, she is not a wicked person. I don't want to treat her like this."
He Cheng snorted coldly, his face darkening as he said, "Don't forget your identity. As the leader of the Shadow Guards here, your life belongs to His Majesty. Everything you do should be for His Majesty."
"Now His Majesty has ordered us to find a way to deal with Fu Zhun, and Su An is the key figure. If you dare to disobey the order, you are disobeying His Majesty. Do you know the consequences?"
