"Young man …"
Watching him walk out, Lin Wanru's lips curled into a rare smile. "Are you not a young man yourself?"
She shook her head, and a strange feeling arose in her heart again.
It had only been two months since they first met and became familiar with each other.
In these two months, her impression and understanding of him had changed almost every day. His words and actions were sometimes steady and sometimes childish. It was difficult to understand him. The more time passed, the more she felt that he was shrouded in a mysterious veil, making it difficult for her to see through him.
In these two months, something was different from before. Whether it was herself or Fanglin Yuan, they didn't notice or feel anything at first. But when they looked back, they realized that everything seemed to be very different.
The Ma family, the Xu family, and the Bai family no longer had business dealings with the Lin family. Because of these things, the family had been in a mess these two days, but she didn't care. The Lin family didn't need to rely on them anymore, and Fanglin Yuan was no longer the Fanglin Yuan of the past.
She walked out of the door and looked at the shop with endless customers. She thought that it was time to open another shop.
Although he looked like a scholar, he didn't seem to care much about these businessmen. He didn't look down on them or hate them. Now that he and his wife were here, they had to settle down and live, and they had to do something to make a living. She wondered if he would agree if she asked him to be the shopkeeper of the new shop.
Speaking of him and that Miss Liu, there was something strange between them.
The husband and wife lived in the same room, but slept in separate beds, separated by a curtain. It really didn't look like they were husband and wife.
But if they weren't husband and wife, how could they … She couldn't figure out these things, but she felt that the current situation was not bad. If it could continue, she would probably be happy for a few more days …
In the small courtyard, Li Yi filtered the medicine into a bowl and threw away the dregs. This was the last packet of medicine.
When he returned to the kitchen to look for milk candy, he found that there was not even a bit left. He clearly remembered that there were a few pieces left last night. This time, he was afraid that he had forced himself on Miss.Liu again.
He shook his head and walked into the room with the bowl.
Recently, he had been in contact with the brothels in Shuzhou, but there was no important news from them. However, after counting the days, they should be arriving soon …
It would only be a few days, so he wasn't in a hurry. Li Yi walked into the house and put the bowl on the table. He glanced at Miss.Liu and said, "There's no more White Rabbit Creamy Candies. Let's make do with it today. It's the last time anyway."
Miss.Liu sat by the table and raised her head slightly to look at him. She said, "It's almost healed. You don't need to drink anymore."
Li Yi had heard her say this reason dozens of times. He picked up the bowl and said, "Drink it quickly. Don't you know that your body hasn't recovered yet?"
"I'm not drinking." Ever since the first time he forced her to drink, she hadn't been so straightforward in a long time.
"You don't want to drink …" Li Yi glanced at her, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Then don't blame me for being impolite."
He held the bowl in one hand and was about to pinch Miss.Liu's chin with the other.
He used to make her drink the medicine obediently like this.
As soon as he raised his other hand, he felt a strange sensation on his chin. At the same time, the hand holding the bowl of medicine was slightly empty.
"I haven't recovered yet. Don't you know?" Miss.Liu asked while holding the bowl of medicine in one hand and pinching his chin with the other.
"I don't know …" Li Yi was stunned and shook his head. "Well, if you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. If you don't want to drink it, just leave it there. I have something to do outside. I'll come back later and pour it away …"
He wanted to turn around and leave, but his body couldn't even move.
…
…
At the Fengzhou station, Zhao Zheng looked at the guard at the door and asked lightly, "Why? Can't I go out?"
The guard quickly bowed and said, "Of course Your Highness can go out at will, but …"
He looked at a young man behind Zhao Zheng and said, "He can't. The provincial governor has ordered that no one can go in or out at will except Your Highness."
"I can't even bring guards with me when I go out?" Zhao Zheng looked at him and questioned, "If something happens to I, who will bear the responsibility?"
He pointed at the two guards and asked, "You, or you?"
The two guards' expressions changed and immediately took two steps back.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Zheng snorted coldly. The young man and a dozen guards walked out of the station. No one stopped them.
Although the provincial governor had said that no one could go in or out at will except for the First Prince, they didn't dare to let the First Prince go out alone.
If something happened to the First Prince in Fengzhou, the provincial governor and the Third Prince wouldn't be able to escape the blame, let alone them.
It would be fine as long as the imperial censors were inside. This was the provincial governor's real intention.
After leaving the station, the young man followed closely behind Zhao Zheng and asked, "Cousin, are we going back to the capital? Doesn't this mean that we admit defeat …"
Zhao Zheng turned around and looked at him coldly. The young man's expression changed and he immediately said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness …"
"Hurry up. The news from the capital should arrive soon." Zhao Zheng turned around and spat out one word through clenched teeth, "Wait!"
Although no one restricted his freedom, he couldn't do anything without those people.
At this moment, he felt a little regretful. He was too impatient. If he hadn't been so impulsive and gone back to the capital to discuss it with his father, things wouldn't have developed to this point.
Now that things had developed to this point, all he could do was wait.
On the second floor of a teahouse opposite the station.
Money God of Fortune personally poured tea for the two people at the table by the window and then left respectfully.
The provincial governor of Fengzhou looked at the young man opposite him and said, "Your Highness, the news from the capital should arrive in two days."
Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze from below and said, "This time, I'm afraid that I will have to go to the capital. Fengzhou will be handed over to Provincial Governor Zhou."
The provincial governor of Fengzhou cupped his hands and said, "It's my duty."
"How's the investigation going?" Zhao Yi nodded and suddenly asked.
The provincial governor of Fengzhou thought for a moment and said, "That woman is the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Fengzhou. The Lin family has run a jewelry business in Fengzhou for decades. As for the person you mentioned, he should also be a member of the Lin family. We are still investigating secretly …"
Before the provincial governor of Fengzhou finished his words, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs.
A person rushed up the stairs and said anxiously, "Your Highness, urgent news from the capital!"
…
Li Yi moved his chin, threw a White Rabbit Creamy Candy into his mouth, and walked out of Fanglin Garden.
He took the White Rabbit Creamy Candy from Lin Wanru's room. It turned out that this was the feeling of being pinched and fed medicine by someone. Miss.Liu was indeed not the Miss.Liu of the past. If it were a few months ago, she would definitely hold a sword and cut herself into eight pieces after being fed medicine by the Tyrant so many times.
Although he didn't use his full strength because he was worried that Miss.Liu's old injury would relapse, he was now a little master, but he still couldn't resist Miss.Liu. It seemed that she had almost recovered.
He licked his lips and still tasted a little bitter. He peeled another candy and threw it into his mouth. When he was about to step into the courtyard, a slightly trembling voice came from behind him.
"Young master …"
