Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 22 First Encounter
Seeing the carriage getting closer, Lu Nanzhi widened his eyes in horror and forgot to react.

"Hiss."

The horse was strangled tightly, its neck was thrown back, its front hooves were raised high, its eyes were rolled up, and its nose was humming and vibrato.

Shen Lanze saw the carriage stop, and hurried over to help the people on the ground.

Lu Nanzhi thought that if he didn't die, he would be injured, but he didn't expect the carriage to stop forcibly one meter away from her.

"Don't die, do you? If you want to die somewhere else, don't bring us any trouble." A maid came out of the car, pointing at Lu Nanzhi with her hips on her hips, and cursed loudly.

Shen Lanze looked at the stunned person, and said eagerly, "Are you all right?"

Lu Nanzhi was supported to stand firm, sweat dripped from her forehead, she shook her head and replied, "I'm fine."

Shen Lanze looked down at her palm. There was a cut in the palm, and blood was slowly flowing out, "You are injured."

"It's okay, just scratch the skin." Lu Nanzhi was about to withdraw his hand.

As soon as Shen Lanze grasped it, he said in an unhappy tone: "I don't even mention the injury, what should I do if it is so hot and infected."

"I'm not that delicate." Lu Nanzhi wanted to break free from him, but his hands were tightly grasped, unable to move at all.

He could only let him bandage himself, looking at the serious and careful person, the expression in his eyes softened unconsciously.

"I really don't feel ashamed in public, why don't you hurry away." Seeing this, the servant girl cursed again angrily.

When Shen Lanze heard this, he raised his eyes and glared at the servant girl, and said in an extremely indifferent voice: "A servant girl dares to be so arrogant, your house is really good at teaching."

"you!"

"Tweety."

The maid wanted to say something more, but was stopped by a warm and pleasant voice.

"Miss."

The maid named Tweety turned around and bowed to the carriage, then reached out to support the woman in the carriage.

Lu Nanzhi followed the voice and found that the curtain was pushed open by a slender finger.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was wearing a gauze dress with a white background and blue borders. Her skin was more beautiful than the snow, her face was beautiful, her lips were red and her teeth were white.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Lu Nanzhi was suddenly startled.

"Is the girl alright?"

The girl's voice brought Lu Nanzhi back to his senses, and immediately smiled and said, "It's okay."

"It's good that it's okay. This girl is usually spoiled by me, and she has no rules when speaking. I hope you will forgive me." The woman's tone was very gentle, not as aggressive as the maids around her.

Lu Nanzhi shook his head hastily, "I was the one who surprised the carriage, so I have to thank you, otherwise I would be under the horse's hooves now."

"You're smart." Tweety muttered in a low voice behind her.

Ruo Shiyu turned her head and stared at her, this maid is good at everything except her bad mouth.

"I don't know what to call the girl?" Ruo Shiyu stepped forward and asked.

"My name is Lu Nanzhi."

Ruo Shiyu smiled lightly, and said in a crisp voice: "There are two kinds of spring breeze in a tree, the south branch is warm and the north branch is cold."

"Miss is very talented." Lu Nanzhi had never heard such a melodious voice, and it was so pleasant that it made people fascinated.

"My name is Ruo Shiyu."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Tweety was pouting and urging her to go back quickly, Madam told her that she was not allowed to have too much contact with people outside.

Whoever makes the young lady has a kind heart is always deceived by these people, and everyone who gets close to the young lady is planning to do something wrong.

When getting into the carriage, Ruo Shiyu turned her head to look at the person beside Lu Nanzhi, she always felt a little familiar, like the person in her memory.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. He had already been sent to the frontier as a slave, so how could he appear in the capital.

But she felt that the man's appearance was too similar to the one in her memory, and she couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, wondering how Mr. Shen is now!
Ruofu, in the study.

A middle-aged man about 38 or [-] years old was standing in front of the table, holding a teacup, and was reading a book comfortably.

Suddenly, he stopped his movements and raised his eyes to look out the window.

"Ah Fu, go and invite the lady here, and say that I have something important to discuss with her."

"Yes, sir."

Outside the door, Ah Fu obeyed his master's order and ran out in a hurry.

Not long after he left the study, Ruo Shiyu walked in dignifiedly.

"Father, what do you need from me?" Ruo Shiyu approached the room slowly, and bowed respectfully.

Seeing his daughter coming in, Ruo Chaofeng was very happy, he waved his hand, motioning for his daughter to sit beside him.

Ruo Chaofeng is the Minister of Rites of the current court, and he has a son and a daughter under his knees. Because his daughter Ruo Shiyu was born prematurely and was born extremely weak, he loves her very much, even a little doting on her.

After Ruo Shiyu was seated, Ruo Chaofeng said slowly, "You are not young anymore, it's time to get married. A few days ago, Minister of the Ministry of Officials wanted to mention this matter to me, can you agree?"

After hearing these words, Ruo Shiyu's originally relaxed expression changed instantly.

"No... my daughter doesn't want to marry yet, and wants to spend more time with her parents." Ruo Shiyu's reaction was very intense, her eyes were slightly red.

Ruo Chaofeng looked at his daughter, sighed, and said helplessly: "Father knows that you still miss Mr. Shen's family. After so many years, your engagement has been annulled, and it is impossible for him to return to the capital."

"Ke Ke." Ruo Shiyu bit her lip, "What if he comes back."

"Shi Yu, you can't be a widow for him forever." Ruo Chaofeng sighed, his daughter's stubborn nature really gave him a headache.

Ruo Shiyu bowed her head and remained silent for a while, then raised her eyes to look at her father, "Can you give your daughter some time to think about it."

"Okay, okay." Ruo Chaofeng responded immediately with a smile.

At the beginning, Mrs. Shen and his wife were good friends, so they made a baby marriage for the two children.

Unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, the Shen family turned into nothingness overnight, and the talented boy whom everyone praised became a prisoner, demoted to a slave and driven out of the capital.

The weather in August, even at night, is still so hot.

At this moment, Lu Qinghe was kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, the sweat dripping down his face.

Grandma Lu stood in the room, glanced at her granddaughter who was kneeling on the ground, and then turned her head to look elsewhere.

"Mother, Qinghe is still young, and she has a good intention, how can a child not quarrel, and Qinghe doesn't know that there will be a carriage passing by."

Third Aunt Lu stomped her feet, muttering to herself: This old woman is just hard-hearted.

Grandma Lu ignored Third Aunt Lu, walked to the door, and said in a cold tone, "Qinghe, do you know your mistake?"

"Qing He knows his mistake."

"I shouldn't refute my cousin, I shouldn't ask, and I shouldn't be angry..." Lu Qinghe's voice was a little hoarse, and she raised her head to look at the people under the eaves
Grandma Lu didn't wait for her to finish, and interrupted with a cold snort, "Oh, it seems that you still don't know where you are wrong, so kneel down to me, when will you figure it out, and when will you get up again."

"Our Lu family must work together. If anyone wants to kill each other, I will never tolerate it!"

Lu Qinghe trembled when she heard these words, she clenched her hands tightly, her nails piercing into her palms.
