He said he cared.
Shen Nanxing's cheeks flushed again, but she was still a little reluctant: "Thirty days is too long, how about ten days?"
Fu Jiuli: "Ten days is too short. There's no time to prepare."
Shen Nanxing glanced at him and said, "Are you going to pick the moon from the sky? What do you want to buy that won't take ten days?"
Fu Jiuli's eyes flashed with helplessness. He thought about it again in his mind and finally said, "How about the 20th?"
If it were any shorter, it would be too hasty and we would not be able to make it in time.
"The fifteenth." Shen Nanxing bargained.
After not hearing any answer for a long time, she turned her head to look at him in confusion, but she met his deep black eyes at first sight.
He stared at her deeply with his deep eyes, his gaze was tender and filled with a hint of pleading.
"Nanxing." he said.
Shen Nanxing: ...
She twitched her lips and thought, why not just stop calling her Fu Jiuli and call her Fu Xiaogou!
Faced with his puppy-like, pleading eyes, Shen Nanxing was defeated.
The little hand waved: "Okay, okay, it will be the 20th."
......
After some bargaining and setting a date for the engagement, the two of them remembered that it was time to go back.
Shen Nanxing stood up, patted the grass leaves on his body, and glanced at him meaningfully: "I have been kidnapped for so long, my grandfather must be worried."
Fu Jiuli's eyes turned cold: "We have to go back. We have to ask Lord Shen to go back to the Hu family and propose marriage..."
Shen Nanxing smiled and stood on tiptoe to pinch his face: "Be good, you should call him grandpa."
Fu Jiuli: ...
He still held her waist and flew back with her.
She was quite obedient when they first came, and only hugged him later.
But now...
She hung on him like an octopus the whole time, and kissed him every once in a while when he wasn't paying attention.
He had no way to deal with her, so he just let her go since no one was watching.
Fu Jiuli sent Shen Nanxing back to the back garden of Nanyang Marquis Mansion, where she was abducted before.
After they landed safely, Fu Jiuli said, "You go back and rest first. I'll go find Shen Ming and ask him to negotiate and cancel the Hu family's marriage proposal."
Shen Nanxing raised an eyebrow: "The Hu family proposed to my brother on behalf of Sister Shuang'er. You are so anxious to make my brother cancel the engagement... Could it be that you also have your eyes on Sister Shuang'er?"
Fu Jiuli was about to leave when she paused and looked back at her: "Didn't the Hu family propose to you on behalf of Hu Lin?"
Shen Nanxing crossed her arms and smiled at him: "Who told you that? I never said that."
"Why? You suddenly came here and kidnapped me today. Did you think the Hu family wanted to propose to me and you were afraid that Hu Lin would snatch me away?"
"you......"
How could Fu Jiuli still not understand at this moment that she had misunderstood? She was just too concerned and confused.
On the one hand, he was ashamed and annoyed by the Sixth Prince's unclear letter, but on the other hand, he felt fortunate. If it weren't for today, he and she wouldn't be like this now...
"You have a good rest. I'm going back first." After saying that, he glanced at her secretly again. Seeing that she didn't seem unhappy, he left as if escaping.
When she was the only one left there, Shen Nanxing smiled and went to the front hall in a very good mood.
I wonder if my brother has agreed to this marriage with Sister Shuang'er.
Leng Ye, who was hiding in the dark, now understood things that he had not understood before.
How could there be any deeper meaning behind the master's arrangement? It's clearly just a gesture of affection...
Tsk tsk, and the master's cut lip...
A hint of excitement flashed in Leng Ye's eyes. Look what incredible thing he discovered!
Young master, there is hope!
-
Shen Nanxing walked briskly to the outside of the front hall. Before he went in, he saw a white-haired figure hiding stealthily at the window sill, peeking out.
She frowned, and with a little luck, she appeared behind the figure like lightning and pressed his shoulder.
The voice was stern: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The white-haired figure was startled, his body shook violently, and he turned around tremblingly, holding a pot of unknown green plant in his arms.
A hand was babbling and gesturing at her.
Shen Nanxing recognized him at a glance. This was the old gardener she had seen in Meiyuan a few days ago. Xia He said that he had some mental problems.
Last time, she was blocked by Xia He and didn't see his face clearly. She saw his face today, but she didn't know what kind of injury he had suffered, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.
It seemed like injuries upon injuries, as if it had been burned with a hot iron or hot oil, scratched with a knife, or something else... Maybe because of the passage of time, it can no longer be seen.
A trace of pity flashed through her heart, and her voice softened: "Old man, aren't you the gardener of Plum Garden? Why are you here?"
The old man gestured with his hands, pointing under the window sill, then pointing outside, and making some strange movements.
As if seeing that she didn't speak, a hoarse sound came from his throat again.
Shen Nanxing realized that the old man was a mute.
She suddenly laughed at her own previous defensiveness: "Uncle, I have some medicine to treat facial scars. It's very effective. I'll have someone send it to you later."
Unexpectedly, the old man seemed a little anxious. He waved his hands repeatedly, pointed at his face and throat, and made a sound, not knowing what he wanted to say.
Shen Nanxing guessed: "You mean, your face doesn't need treatment?"
The old man nodded at her repeatedly, making a gurgling sound in his throat.
"Do you think my medicine is too precious and not worth it?"
The old man nodded again.
Shen Nanxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have several bottles of this medicine, you can use it without worry."
The old man was still waving his hands and shaking his head, seeming a little anxious. He wanted to say something but couldn't.
At this time, Shen Nanxing heard footsteps behind him and subconsciously turned around to look.
Shen Ming came out of the hall with Old Marquis Shen. Shen Ming called out from a distance, "Sister, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer? Have you had breakfast?"
Shen Nanxing wanted to say that he had gotten up a long time ago and had been kidnapped and brought back.
Just thinking about it made her face turn red.
She coughed twice to cover it up and looked at the sky: "It's still early? It's almost time for lunch."
As they were talking, the two men had already arrived in front of her.
Lord Shen asked, "Why don't you go in now? What are you standing outside for? Be careful not to catch a cold from the wind."
Shen Nanxing glanced behind him: "I just saw this old man..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence.
The old gardener behind her had disappeared at some point.
Lord Shen looked at the old gardener who had appeared in the distance and frowned: "You said he was always talking nonsense, as if there was something wrong with his brain."
"He's very good at growing flowers, and he doesn't have any bad intentions. Since the Marquis's Mansion doesn't need this little money, we'll just keep him."
