That was enough teasing!
Jing Rong said, "Forget it. The show is over. You better pray for your own good luck from now on."
He stood up and patted his clothes.
He pulled Ji Yunshu away.
After the two left, Mo Ruo stood in a daze.
He really didn't understand what he was thinking. From the moment he met Tang Si, he had been wavering. To be precise, he was conflicted. He knew very well that there was a girl named Kong Yu hidden in his heart. It was a knot in his heart, a huge stone pressing on his chest.
No matter how long he tried, he couldn't move it away.
Jing Rong and Ji Yunshu were on their way back to Bamboo Creek Garden.
Inside the carriage, Jing Rong asked her, "Does that Third Master know you?"
Huh?
She shook her head.
"Then do you know him?"
She shook her head again.
She said, "Actually, I also thought it was very strange. When we were in the alley, he looked at me with an inexplicable sadness and shock. But I don't know him, and I've never been to Houliao. How could I be related to him? "
It was very strange!
Jing Rong's eyes darkened as he pondered. He couldn't help but feel anxious.
After seeing through his thoughts, Ji Yunshu placed her hand on the back of his and held it gently. "Maybe … I look like an old friend of his."
"Am I being too sensitive?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head. "Of course not. I know you're worried about me. We've been through so much together, it's inevitable that you're worried."
That's right!
After experiencing so much, who would dare to 'sleep in the middle of the night'?
Their situation was as if they were in a bottomless valley. Even the slightest rustle of grass in the wind would cause them to be extremely vigilant.
Jing Rong nodded and pulled her into his embrace. His chin rested gently on her head.
"No matter what, I will always be by your side. No one can take you away from me."
His voice was firm and unshakable.
Ji Yunshu's lips slowly curved into a smile as she snuggled deeper into his embrace.
Meanwhile, in Papa Tang's room.
Tang Si was standing while Papa Tang was sitting.
After a while …
"Look at you. Of all places to go, you just had to come to the Great Lin. How many times have I told you that the Great Lin seems to be on good terms with our Houliao on the surface, but our relationship is extremely tense. If something happens to you here, no one will be able to save you," he reprimanded.
Hearing this, Tang Si immediately spun around in front of him and said, "Look, aren't I doing very well? No broken arms, no broken legs, and I'm still alive and well. I'm eating well and drinking well. I don't lack anything, so don't worry. "
"You still don't know your mistake! I've spoiled you too much, that's why you've been so arrogant since you were young. "
"Father …"
"From what I see, if I don't come to the capital to catch you, I'm afraid you'll stay here for the rest of your life."
Tang Si said sweetly, "How could that be! I can't bear to leave for the rest of my life, but I can't bear to leave Ah Mo, so … "
She acted pitifully.
Father Tang loved his daughter dearly, so he didn't plan on doing anything to her.
Finally, she asked seriously, "Do you really like that kid?"
She nodded vigorously, "I really do. I won't marry anyone but him!" With that, she ran over and held her father's hand, "Father, I'm serious, I really like him. I'm willing to do anything for him, please grant us our wish."
Father Tang was a tough man, but his image crumbled after his daughter's coquettish tantrum.
However, he still said stubbornly, "Let me tell you, if he can't give me a reason to hand you over to him without worry, then there's no need to talk. I'll take you away tomorrow morning."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a very satisfactory reason!" Tang Si smiled.
Suddenly —
Father Tang's face darkened, his brows furrowed slightly as he asked, "Oh right, who was that person today?"
"You mean Prince Rong? Don't you know he's a prince? "
"I'm talking about that woman." "Oh, Ah Ji!" Tang Si said, "She's very capable. She's now the Great Lin's Prison Supervisor and specializes in handling important cases. She's the only female official in the Great Lin. She's good at examining corpses, solving cases, and has a thorough understanding of human bones. She's very smart.
I feel like there's nothing in this world that she doesn't know. "
"She's that good?"
"Of course, Father, if you personally saw her examine the corpses and solve the cases, you'd be even more shocked than I am."
Father Tang's expression darkened as he asked, "Where is she from? Where is her home? Does she have any relatives? "
Tang Si replied, "Her home is in Jinjiang. She does have relatives, but they don't recognize her anymore. I'm not sure about the specifics."
"What about her mother?"
"I think she's dead."
"Dead?" Father Tang's eyes widened.
Tang Si was baffled, "Father, what's wrong?"
He shook his head, "Nothing."
The next moment, Tang Si seemed to recall something and her eyes lit up, "That's right, Father, Ah Ji has a wooden plaque on her body. I think I've seen the pattern on it when I was young, but it's very blurry … I think I remember you drawing that pattern."
"What did you say?" Father Tang grabbed her arm in excitement.
"Father?"
"You mean the wooden plaque?"
"Yes."
"What does it look like?"
Tang Si was confused. She stammered, "It's a square wooden plaque. The color is like an ink painting, and there's a pattern carved in the middle. It looks like words, but it also looks like a flower. I don't know the specifics, but I do remember that you've drawn it before."
Ah!
Father Tang's body trembled.
"Father, let go of me first. My hand hurts." She struggled.
Father Tang seemed to have lost his soul. He slowly let go of her, but he was still in a daze.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "
"Get out."
"Father?"
"Get out."
Tang Si could only hug her aching arm and leave with a strange look in her eyes. She closed the door behind her.
Inside the house, Father Tang fell into a state of absent-mindedness.
He clenched his fists tightly.
Xi 'er, is that really your daughter?
…
That night.
Mo Ruo sat alone in the courtyard with two pots of wine in his hands. He drank as he thought about something, his brows furrowed.
Then, someone came over and bumped into him. He froze and turned to see that it was Tang Si.
Tang Si had just come out from her father's place. She smiled at him and sat across from him. Without saying a word, she picked up one of the pots of wine on the table and poured it into her mouth.
She drank to her heart's content.
She even wiped her mouth with her sleeve without a care for the details.
Mo Ruo was in a daze as he looked at the bold and unrestrained woman in front of him. At this moment, he asked himself countless times in his heart: What's so good about this woman? She's not beautiful, she's bold and unrestrained, and she doesn't hold back when she speaks, let alone yelling and killing at the slightest provocation.
What's so good about her?
Tang Si reached out and waved her hand in front of his eyes. "Hey, have you been scared silly by my father?"
