Hidden golden branches

Chapter 37 Chance Encounter

Chen Rong fell in love with that hairpin almost at first sight.

She took it in her hand and looked at it again and again, then put the hairpin in front of her and did not put it back. As for the remaining brocade box, she barely glanced at it again and quickly ended the entire appreciation.

She left the mandarin duck hairpin and the golden hairpin of the white jade hibiscus. She randomly picked two more from several brocade boxes, then called people and told them to settle the account, and wait until Cuizhu paid the money. Get ready to leave.

When Chen Rong heard that she was Sun Houye's wife, she thought she was Sun Yi's mother Lin. When she turned around, she saw that it was Zhang Xiuxi who Sun Yi had brought back from the frontier.

Zhang Xiuxi wore a light pink and blue embroidered trousers, a stone blue heddle skirt, a side bun, and a red gold bead hoop inlaid with tourmaline stones. She is very delicate-looking. She has changed from the soft and frail appearance before, as if she didn't dare to say a word loudly. She has the arrogant look of a noble lady.

At this time, Zhang Xiuxi didn't even notice Chen Rong, who was standing in the corner picking up jewelry and about to leave, so her arrogant expression and behavior after being flattered by the boss of Rumengzhai all fell into Chen Rong's eyes.

Shopkeeper Gu of Rumengzhai did not dare to offend Zhang Xiuxi, so he quickly ordered the waiter to pick up the good things that had not yet been released in the store, and served tea to Zhang Xiuxi himself.

Then the shopkeeper went to take care of other customers.

Chen Rong stood aside and watched coldly as Zhang Xiuxi put on her "elegant" airs, thinking that she was Sun Yi's mother, and the serious Mrs. Bohou might not be as dignified as her.

Tsk, it’s really like a pheasant leaping onto a finger and turning into a phoenix.

"The appearance of your silver hairpin jewelry is too shabby. Are you thinking that our third young lady is easy to fool?" The maid next to Zhang Xiuxi became angry on Zhang Xiuxi's behalf, but she herself raised her hand and lowered her voice. Seeing her beautiful and round nails, she looked aloof and ignored everyone.

Chen Rong had no intention of causing trouble to Zhang Xiuxi, so he turned around and waited for Cuizhu to pay with the silver and leave.

Unexpectedly, the jewelry I picked out was taken away in a box by the waiter in the store and delivered to Zhang Xiuxi. He said flatteringly that the best ones in the store were all in front of Mrs. Bohou.

It’s really too much!

The man she chose was snatched away by her, and she wants to snatch the jewelry she picked out too!

It’s really addictive to grab things!

Chen Rong couldn't tolerate Sha Sha's temper in his eyes, and sneered as he stood there: "How come I don't know when the third son of the Sun family returned to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion in a sedan chair to marry a serious lady?"

What about the third young lady? Is she worthy?

Zhang Xiuxi finally freed up some energy to look for Chen Rong who was standing in the corner of the building.

Xu Shi witnessed the tragic situation of Yue Wanlan being slapped. Zhang Xiuxi's expression immediately changed when she saw Chen Rong, and she quickly stood up from where she was sitting. Her eyes only revealed a feeling of fear and uneasiness, and then He quickly lowered his head and greeted Chen Rong: "The county master is well."

The waiter in the store, who took away the jewelry box that Chen Rong picked out to please Zhang Xiuxi, was stunned for a moment when he saw this.

Shopkeeper Gu, who was still unaware, saw the jewelry box in front of Zhang Xiuxi. He came to his senses and his mind started to work quickly. He quickly took the waiter and confessed to Chen Rong and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me. He is a newcomer and I don't know your identity. I hope you will forgive me once for the sake of my family’s acquaintance with Mrs. Yun for so many years.”

It was as if Chen Rong couldn't see her anymore.

She coldly reminded Zhang Xiuxi, who always looked pitiful and pitiful when being bullied by others: "Now you can call your slaves when you go out, but there is no need to show off in his name. There is no place in the capital that is not prosperous. Eyes, do you want to harm him?"

Zhang Xiuxi's face turned even paler at Chen Rong's words. Even her body seemed to be about to fall down the next moment without the help of her maid. She murmured in a low voice: "I know I was wrong."

Chen Rong felt bored looking at Zhang Xiuxi's posture, and he didn't know exactly how much of this boredom was for Zhang Xiuxi and how much was for Sun Yi.

Chen Rong, who has always been used to doing everything for Sun Yi, still can't take it back. She knows she shouldn't, and she must be irritated. After coming out of Rumengzhai, Chen Rong was still feeling unhappy and wandered outside for a long time. It was not until it was almost dark that he listened to Cuizhu's words and prepared to go back. By chance, I saw Sun Yi who was buying vegetarian snacks at Su Zhai Fang.

I saw Sun Yi coming out of the door of Suzhaifang, holding two pieces of paper-wrapped food in his hand. Chen Rong hid in the corner and looked at Sun Yi and Zhang Xiuxi talking and laughing on the street in the dimly lit area.

Heartache.

At this moment, Chen Rongdu almost heard the voice in her heart that kept telling her that she deserved it, as if she was obsessed with it.

Somehow, he whispered to Yu Zhu in a low voice.

Yu Zhu glanced at his master with complicated eyes, and then left quickly.

Chen Rong ignored Cuizhu's dissuasion and followed Sun Yi and Zhang Xiuxi to a remote wilderness.

Sun Yi stopped suddenly, with a hint of helplessness on his face, and simply asked: "How long do you want to follow me, the county master?"

Chen Rong didn't expect Sun Yi to discover him so quickly, but then he thought about it. Sun Yi was a martial arts practitioner, with sharp ears and eyes. It was no surprise that he discovered such a disgraceful behavior.

Simply, Chen Rong calmly walked out from behind a tree and looked at Sun Yi from a distance without saying a word.

Zhang Xiuxi stood next to Sun Yi and said "ah" softly, as if she was frightened, and tremblingly saluted Chen Rong again.

Sun Yi looked solemn, bowed to Chen Rong and said, "County Master, you are a young lady from a wealthy family. You shouldn't be like this."

Chen Rong's face was slightly hot when Sun Yi said it. Fortunately, the night was getting darker and no one could see clearly.

"I just met by chance." Chen Rong deliberately lied in a cold voice, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was just a vague sneer from Sun Yi: "Oh, this is the truth. The way Guan and Zhuo Jing go home does not lead to Chen's house."

Indifferent words are like an arrow to the heart.

Chen Rong felt that her heartbreak was probably the same as when she heard Sun Yi say such heartbreaking words, but she didn't expect that before she could taste the excessive bitterness, the accident happened like this.

This is the place Sun Yi picked. It is sparsely populated, but he did not expect that there is also a group of mountain bandits hiding in the wilderness.

"Do it!" Someone shouted in the dark, and about twenty gangsters rushed down from the hilltop not far away. They all had dazzling silver knives in their hands and went straight to the four people present.

Zhang Xiuxi's scream was very shrill. Even Chen Rong, who was protected by Xiao Cui and a guard, was panicking to save his life when he was shocked by Zhang Xiuxi's scream.

It's really dumbfounding that Zhang Xiuxi, with such a weak body, can have such an explosive voice.

　Chen Rong: She is so angry that she wants to steal the men she likes, and she also wants to steal the jewelry she likes.

　　Sun Xiuxi: That’s not because you, the county lord, have good taste, so I want to snatch it from you!

　　Xiao Zi: Don’t be angry, Rong Rong, she can’t take away a truly good man!
