It had been five years since they last met.
Neither of them had changed.
They were still the same.
Su Ziluo gazed at Ji Yunshu with his deep and bright eyes. She stood in front of the window with the faint light behind her. It was hazy, as if it was an illusion. He couldn't help but recall many years ago. That year, it was a warm winter with snowflakes fluttering in the sky and a cold wind permeated the air. The plum blossoms in the corner of the city were in full bloom against the heavy snow. He stood under the plum tree with a jade-like face and bamboo-like eyebrows. His pair of gentle and bright eyes looked at the falling plum blossoms around him. He still remembered the time when he reached out to pluck a plum blossom and placed it in the palm of the woman next to him. That woman lowered her eyebrows in shyness and smiled like a flower.
When the breeze blew, the peach blossom petals fluttered in the air. It was as if clear water swept across the delicate and fair face of the woman. It was so beautiful.
It was like yesterday.
Even after so many years, every time Su Ziluo recalled that scene, the corners of his mouth would involuntarily sway.
However, things had changed with the passage of time.
The past was in the past.
From the time they parted on the capital's watchtower five years ago, everything had ended. The only thing he could do was to bury his feelings in his heart.
Ji Yunshu gazed at that familiar face. She had to admit that her heart was still stirred by the scene before her, but it was no longer love. Instead, it was the emotion of two old friends reuniting. Su Ziluo withdrew his thoughts from the plum blossom forest and faced the 'situation' in front of him. In fact, from the day he brought Jing Rong here three years ago, he had already anticipated this. He knew that Ji Yunshu would find this place sooner or later, so he had made ample preparations.
Prepared!
He was also prepared to face everything! Ji Yunshu silently concealed the glimmer of tears in her eyes. She clenched her fists and stood motionless in front of the window. She was not in the mood to reminisce about the past. At this moment, she only wanted to ask Su Ziluo, why did he bring Jing Rong here?
Why did he hide it from her? Why did he hide it from her?
Countless questions bubbled up in her heart.
Su Ziluo rolled his wheelchair two steps forward. He looked at Ji Yunshu with the same gentle gaze as in the past. "Shu 'er, long time no see."
His voice was still magnetic.
It was so warm.
Ji Yunshu's expression darkened, and her beautiful brows furrowed imperceptibly. After a long time, she approached him and stood in front of him. Her red lips parted slightly. "Yes, it's been a long time. I never thought that I would come to Qujiang and see you again."
"It's been five years since we parted. It's fate that we meet again."
"Perhaps …" Su Ziluo smiled faintly. The corners of his mouth were cool and gentle, like a willow branch swaying gently on a spring day. He picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea, and pushed it across the table. The corners of his mouth were still overflowing with a smile. "There's nothing to confess.
Have a cup of tea, although … it's a little cold. " Ji Yunshu sat down next to him and pinched the cold glass with her fingertips. The coldness spread along the fine veins on her fingertips and slowly spread to her blood. She couldn't help but feel her heart tighten. Even so, she was unwilling to let go of the glass in her hand.
Looking at the swirling tea in the cup, a pitiful sneer flashed across his face.
After a long time …
She asked softly, "Don't you want to say anything to me? Or perhaps, explain something! "
Since things had come to this, Su Ziluo didn't intend to hide it anymore. He indifferently replied, "Are you talking about Jing Rong?"
Apart from Jing Rong, what else could Ji Yunshu care about? Ji Yunshu looked at him and said, "I've been looking for him for three years. In these three years, everyone thought he was dead, but I didn't believe it! So, I searched everywhere for him because I knew he was still in this world, waiting for me somewhere. That's why I risked my life to find him.
That's why I searched so hard for the day we meet again. "
"It seems like the two of you have experienced a lot in these five years."
"Yes!"
"Then, is he more important than your life to you?"
"Yes!"
Her answer was very serious, even if it was only one word.
In fact, even if Su Ziluo didn't ask, he already knew what she meant. He just didn't want to give up and wanted to hear it with his own ears.
"Fine, then I'll tell you. Li Chuan is Jing Rong. Three years ago, it was I who saved him." His tone was still calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
Ji Yunshu clenched her fists. She could no longer hide the tears in her eyes. Her voice trembled as she asked, "What happened in these three years?"
Su Ziluo couldn't help but feel heartache when he saw the tears in her eyes.
However, he only said, "Jing Rong has already returned to Yan Jing City. If you want to know the truth of what happened that year, come back with me."
…
After several days without finding Ji Yunshu, he hurriedly went back to inform Wen Che.
A trace of worry flashed across Wen Che's face. He pondered, "She went out? Where could she go at this time? "
"I've searched around the manor, but I didn't see anyone."
"Did you look carefully? Did you ask anyone? "
"I asked, but they all said they didn't see her."
It really made him anxious. Luo Yang packed up his things and came over. When he heard that Ji Yunshu was missing, he flung the bundle in his hand and frowned. "Then why are you still sitting here? Hurry up and find her! Forget it, it's better to rely on myself than on you! I'll go!
Find her! "
Just as Luo Yang stepped out of the door, a manservant came in from the outside and reported, "General Wen, Lord Wen, Miss Ji, who came with you to the villa, asked me to inform you that she has some matters to attend to and has to leave the mountain first. She asked you not to wait for her.
When she reaches Yan Jing City, she will contact you again. "
Luo Yang reacted fiercely. "Impossible! We just met before. If she had something to do, why didn't she say it before? Are you sure she told you this herself? "
The servant resolutely replied, "Yes, Miss Ji said it herself. This humble one doesn't have the guts to lie!"
"But … where could she go?"
"This humble one doesn't know. Since the message has been conveyed, this humble one will go and busy himself."
After the servant left, Luo Yang anxiously paced around the room.
Wen Yu's face was cold. "Can you stop pacing around?!"
Luo Yang placed his hands on his hips. "You guys aren't in a hurry, but I am."
Wen Che was calmer. He carefully thought about it and said, "Since Miss Ji has something to do, we should leave the mountain first."
Luo Yang was furious. "Then we don't care? She's unfamiliar with the people and the place in Yan Jing, and she's suffering from a cold illness. What if something happens to her? " Wen Che rationally analyzed, "I believe Miss Ji knows the severity of the situation. Since she has already left, we can only leave the mountain first. When we return to Yan Jing, you can go to the arranged place and wait. When Miss Ji finishes her business, she will come back to find you.
There's no point in worrying here. "
That was the truth!
Luo Yang could only agree to leave the mountain first.
… …
On the other side, Li Shiyan searched the villa, but he couldn't find any trace of Ji Yunshu.
Could it be that she has already left?
A sense of loss welled up in him.
Marquis Kang Dinghou didn't care what he was looking for and forcefully dragged him into the carriage.
Since the case was closed, the people in the villa were lining up to leave the mountain. There was only one road, but there were many carriages.
Thus, the road was blocked.
Li Shiyan sat in the carriage, his heart uneasy and anxious.
His mind was filled with thoughts of where Ji Yunshu was.
Could she be in one of the many carriages? Marquis Kang Dinghou looked at him and didn't forget to exhort, "Shiyan, listen carefully. The marriage between our Li and Zhu families cannot be abandoned. I can see that Yao 'er truly likes you. As long as you treat her with sincerity, Minister Zhu will definitely agree."
。”
"Father, I don't like Miss Zhu. Please don't make things difficult for me." "I don't care if you like her or not. In short, your marriage must go through! As long as Yao 'er insists, and Minister Zhu loves his daughter, he will definitely not mention the cancellation of the marriage! In fact, what they said is right. The marriage between the two families will help you in the future.
But, everything I do is for you. "
What a joke!
Li Shiyan didn't believe in such nonsense. He clearly understood that his father only wanted to gain a foothold in the imperial court. Thus, he needed to use the marriage between the two families to win over Minister Zhu. In addition, Minister Zhu also had his own faction. Once he was won over, he would gain a hidden power in the imperial court.
