But Shangguan Yu held her so tightly that she couldn't break free at all.
Shen Yueji stared at him coldly. "Young Master Shangguan, this is the capital. There are so many people coming and going here and there. There are bound to be people who know us. If this matter is seen by someone who knows us, they will spread rumors. My matter is a small matter, but if your Shangguan family is implicated because of this … Ji 'er, you know I'm not afraid of these things."
"What kind of grievances have you suffered these past few days? What happened? Why did you become like this? I know I can't help you. You don't like me. But I hope you can take me as a friend to talk to. Tell me your difficulties and what's on your mind. Don't keep it in your heart. Trust me, okay? Even if everyone else can betray you and betray you, only I won't. "
Shen Yueji had never been like this in the past. Shangguan Yu could vaguely guess that she must have been bullied by someone just from the distant and strange way of addressing her.
She was proud and would never be willing to swallow her anger. But now she had to do this …
His heart throbbed with pain.
He knew that the emperor's harem was a dangerous place. Even if she had a powerful backer, her pride had long been ground away by the cruel place in the harem.
At the thought of the women he loved and the grievances they had suffered in the harem, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but feel upset. He hated himself for not becoming stronger. If he were stronger, would he be qualified to stand by Ji 'er's side and protect her?
The man's eyes were so sincere that Shen Yueji wanted to avoid them many times, but his eyes seemed to be glued to her.
She sighed in her heart and looked not far away. She saw a piece of cloth next to a simple house not far away, on which the words "Liu Ji Osmanthus Cake" were written.
"Double Happiness."
She called out.
Double Happiness answered and walked in front of her. "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Buy some osmanthus cake."
Whether it was herself or her former self, they both seemed to have a special love for osmanthus cake.
Double Happiness hurriedly agreed, and with a bag full of silver, he jogged away.
Shangguan Yu was about to stop her, intending to buy it for her himself. But after Double Happiness left, there were only the two of them left. Out of selfishness, he smiled slightly to cover up his gaffe and did not say anything.
Looking at Double Happiness who was queuing up, Shen Yueji couldn't help but say, "Look at this small place. It's not as clean as other shops, but there are so many people."
"Maybe it's because this couple is honest."
The man chuckled and continued her words.
Shen Yueji looked back at him. It was true that the food he gave was never short of weight. Compared with other osmanthus pastry shops, their food was much more affordable and delicious.
Seeing this, Shen Yueji seemed to recall the Osmanthus Cake Shop that she once ate at.
They were also an old couple. Ever since she married Feng Jiuqing, she had never seen them again. Perhaps it was just as he had said. Their family saw that they were getting old and couldn't bear for them to go out and run about, so they let them live out the rest of their days at home.
"Ji 'er, come here."
Suddenly, her hand was caught by the man. The warmth from the man's palm shocked Shen Yueji. Before she could speak, she was pulled into a narrow alley by the man.
"What's wrong?"
"Someone is following us."
