When
The flower boat stopped next to Qinxin Lake early in the morning, and from time to time two or three people would get on and off.

The boat is wide and has a gorgeous interior, like a pavilion on the water. The boat has two floors, with a bead curtain hanging on the second floor. There seems to be a person sitting inside, whose face cannot be seen clearly.

Fang Xu, wearing a curtain hat and plain clothes, followed Shen Ji slowly.

Shen Ji's appearance was so handsome that when he walked beside Qinxin Lake, he frequently made people stop and look at him. He received many looks. Shen Ji's face became more and more gloomy and he whispered, "Madam, you are coming out with me, do you still need to cover up your appearance? "

Fang Xu's voice came from behind the veil, "You don't understand. The widow has a lot of troubles. If you are with me, I'm afraid I will bring up some bad rumors for you."

Shen Ji pursed his thin lips, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

He doesn't care about rumors or anything like that.

Shen Ji lowered his eyes and looked at her, and said warmly, "Madam wants to go on the boat, do you have an invitation?"

"Invitation?" Fang Xu turned his head and said in a confused tone, "Isn't it okay if I have money?"

Shen Ji sighed softly and explained patiently, "This painting boat has more rules. It is different from ordinary flower boats. We can't get on without any folding papers or invitations."

Fang Xu paused, "Isn't that a wasted trip?"

"It's not in vain," Shen Ji pursed his lips, his eyes softened, and his tone was gentle, "This is the first time that my wife and I..."

"Look, who is that person?"

Fang Xu interrupted him and pointed to a spot on the boat.

Shen Ji looked helpless, sighed heavily, and suppressed the emotions in his heart.

For this one, he was afraid he would have to take his time.

"What are you doing standing still?" Fang Xu grabbed his wrist and shook it slightly, "That man doesn't look simple, have you ever seen him before?"

Looking at the bare hands on his wrists, Shen Ji felt a hint of joy in his heart and was coaxed.

Looking along Fang Xu's fingertips, Shen Ji saw the man standing on the boat.

The man is about 30 years old, tall and has a clear face, sharp and cold.

Shen Ji narrowed his eyes, looked at the man's face, and whispered, "Qi Guogong, Qi Chong."

"Duke?" Fang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly and said softly, "This is the first time I heard about it."

Shen Ji frowned and said warmly, "Madam, there is no need to have too much involvement with him."

Fang Xu turned to look at him and said leisurely, "From your tone, it sounds like you don't like him very much?"

"More than unhappy." Shen Ji raised his eyes and looked at the figure on the boat, "I regret not being able to kill him with my own hands."

Fang Xu smelled the scent of gossip, moved closer to him, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any stories between you and him?"

"It's not a story to tell." Shen Ji's face was dull, and the smile that had always been on the corner of his mouth disappeared. "That year, I was supposed to win the first place in the imperial examination, but fate played a trick on me, and I met him."

"The position of Duke is hereditary. I don't know why he is crazy. He insists on taking the imperial examination to gain fame and threatens to win the crown."

Shen Ji chuckled lightly, with a sarcastic look on his face, "Maybe he realized that I was his strong rival. Before the last exam, he found out where I lived, ordered people to smash up my house, and injured my father and my mother. Then I fell ill, forcing me to withdraw from the college entrance examination."

A flash of darkness flashed in Shen Ji's eyes, and he said solemnly, "The yard that Madam bought was the one where he smashed it."

"He doesn't even know my appearance. In the past few years, he has been so contented that he may have forgotten about it. A few days ago, I won the third prize, and he even sent someone to hand over a coupon to win over me."

Fang Xu sneered and said in a disdainful tone, "I really have a phobia of giant objects."

Shen Ji had never heard of this disease and asked with a confused look, "What?" Fang Xu rolled his eyes and whispered, "I'm afraid of Dasha."

"What a piece of shit!" Fang Xu snorted, with a hint of anger on his face, "If you have a grudge against him, I will despise him. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will slander him!"

Seeing that Fang Xu shared the same hatred with him, Shen Ji couldn't hide the smile on his face. When he looked at Duke Qi, murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

What he wants is more than just a trick.

"That's all, madam, you don't need to take such nonsense to heart." Shen Ji looked back at her with a smile and whispered, "I'm not taking a bath today. Madam, would you like to accompany me for a walk around the area?"

"Of course you can." Fang Xu agreed happily, "I have nothing to do, so it's good to take a walk."

I wanted to investigate the enemy's situation, so I didn't take the maid and the boy with me. The two stood together, their clothes were simple and elegant, and the colors matched. Looking from behind, they looked like an ordinary couple.

"I heard that there is a Yunbi Pavilion in the southeast, located in the plum blossom forest. Madam, would you be interested in going with us?" Shen Ji asked boldly with his heart crossed.

The plum blossom forest is a good place for lovers to be together, and many men and women go there to seek marriage.

Shen Ji's words almost showed his thoughts on his face.

Fang Xu nodded, his expression as usual, "You can go and take a look."

Shen Ji's heart froze. Hearing her tone, it was obvious that she had never heard the rumors about Plum Blossom Forest.

Fang Xu didn't notice his loneliness, took steps and said softly, "Let's go."

Shen Ji was angry, but had no choice but to follow Fang Xu dejectedly, like a resentful woman.
-
The plum blossoms in the forest are in full bloom, and the branches are covered with red ribbons, fluttering in the wind.

Maybe they all went to watch the boat tour on the lake, and there was no one else in the forest except the two of them.

The fragrance of plum blossoms passed through the tip of his nose, and Fang Xu relaxed and walked in the forest without noticing that there was no one behind him.

After walking a hundred meters away, Fang Xu saw what seemed to be someone lying down in front of him. He looked intently and saw an old woman in gorgeous clothes lying unconscious in the forest.

Fang Xu's heart tightened and he quickly ran forward.

"husband……"

When Shen Ji found Fang Xu with two red silk ribbons, he happened to see her squatting on the ground, checking someone's pulse.

Fang Xu raised his eyes, his eyes fell on him, and his eyes lit up, "Quick, help me get her to the carriage."

Shen Ji held the red silk ribbon and paused on the spot. After a moment, he stuffed the ribbon into his arms with a depressed look and walked over.

Shen Ji carried the old woman on his back, his eyes always glued to Fang Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Does Madam know this person?"

"I don't know." Fang Xu said softly without changing his expression.

Hearing this, Shen Ji almost threw the old woman off his back, "Then why did you bring her home?"

The holy place of confession turns into a rescue scene. The most bloody thing in the world is nothing more than this!
Fang Xu looked calm and said in a calm tone, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I have done bad things and want to accumulate more evil virtues."

Shen Ji was surprised and immediately stopped laughing, "Madam is really straightforward."

"By the way," Fang Xu turned to look at him with a puzzled look on his face, "What is the red belt you were holding just now for?"

Shen Ji was stunned, and after regaining consciousness, he chuckled and lied without changing his face, "I used it to tie my hair."

It seemed that he was going to go to the woods alone tonight.
