With just a glance, Jiujiu could tell that Ouyang Mingzhu was in love with the original host.
Thinking about it, if he wasn't in love with the original host, why would he be willing to lose his life for her?
In this way, the original host's wish for Ouyang Mingzhu to be happy would naturally be realized. As long as she was with Ouyang Mingzhu, he would naturally be happy.
However, she had to take revenge on Zhang Sheng. She couldn't do as Ouyang Mingzhu wished and not leave the house. However, Jiujiu raised her eyes and looked at Ouyang Mingzhu.
As if they were telepathic, Ouyang Mingzhu instantly met Jiujiu's eyes. The corner of her mouth curled up, revealing a smile that was as bright as a summer flower. She was indeed an elegant young master, and compared to the pretentious Zhang Sheng, she was even more charming. Her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her voice was as gentle as jade: "Jiujiu, are you hungry? I'll instruct Housekeeper Liu to prepare food for you."
"Ziqin." Jiujiu copied the original host and called out Ouyang Mingzhu's name.
After seeing that Ouyang Mingzhu's expression didn't change, she said tentatively: "If you don't want me to participate in the martial arts convention, then you must accompany me to Nanyang."
The original host was Zhang Sheng, whom she met in Nanyang.
"Nanyang?" Hearing Jiujiu's words, Ouyang Mingzhu's beautiful brows instantly wrinkled. She looked at Jiujiu in confusion and asked: "Why do you want to go to Nanyang all of a sudden?"
Nanyang was only a few dozen li away from here. It wasn't close, but it wasn't very far either. It only took three hours by carriage to reach.
However, although Nanyang was only a few dozen li away, the law and order there was extremely chaotic. Fighting on the streets was a common occurrence. Why would Jiujiu want to go to Nanyang all of a sudden?
"It's not safe there!" Ouyang Mingzhu frowned and said with disapproval: "If you want to go out and play, I'll take you to Yangzhou in March next year, okay?"
Jiujiu had already guessed that Ouyang Mingzhu wouldn't allow her to go, so she simply imitated the original owner's angry look. She stared at Ouyang Mingzhu and pouted her mouth, looking extremely willful: "I just want to go to Nanyang. Just tell me, will you let me go or not?"
After saying that, she turned around and did not look at Ouyang Mingzhu. She threatened, "If you don't let me go, I'll run away from home and you won't be able to find me again."
Sure enough, after seeing Jiujiu's unruly and willful appearance, Ouyang Mingzhu's doubts disappeared in an instant. She thought that Jiujiu wanted to go to Nanyang on a whim.
Dispelling the doubts in her heart, Ouyang Mingzhu hurriedly went out to instruct the housekeeper to prepare the things that she and Jiujiu would need for their trip to Nanyang.
After a while, the servant girl served the breakfast that Ouyang Mingzhu had prepared for Jiujiu.
By the time Jiujiu had eaten, the housekeeper had already prepared the carriage for their trip. Ouyang Mingzhu helped Jiujiu onto the carriage and then mounted the horse, following closely behind the carriage.
The carriage swayed all the way to Nanyang.
They thought that it would only take three hours, but because it suddenly rained halfway, it instantly slowed down. By the time they arrived at Nanyang, the sky was already dark. Because of the rain, the streets were quiet and there was no one. Only the creaking sound of Jiujiu's carriage's axle could be heard.
In the silence and emptiness, it was especially clear in the night.
The housekeeper had already sent someone to book a room at Nanyang Inn.
When they arrived at the inn, Ouyang Mingzhu dismounted and walked to the carriage. She helped Jiujiu off the carriage. The two supported each other as they walked to the main hall. They heard a low and hoarse male voice behind them: "Waiter, give me a room."
This was Zhang Sheng's voice.
In that instant, Jiujiu's heart suddenly surged with monstrous hatred. Jiujiu's expression instantly became distorted because of this sudden hatred. If Ouyang Mingzhu wasn't still holding her hand, she would definitely rush up and perish together with Zhang Sheng.
Sensing Jiujiu's abnormality, Ouyang Mingzhu's face showed a moment of panic. She no longer cared about etiquette and bent down to pick up Jiujiu. As she hurried upstairs, she carefully instructed the housekeeper to quickly find a doctor.
Zhang Sheng had just paid the bill when he heard the commotion behind him. He couldn't help but ask the shopkeeper: "May I ask which house is this? Why is there such a big commotion?"
The shopkeeper didn't even raise his eyelids as he said: "It's the young master of Hengyang Green Willow Manor, Ouyang Mingzhu and his fiancee."
"So it's hero Ouyang's son. No wonder, no wonder." Zhang Sheng put on a look of admiration on the surface, but in his heart he sneered: "As expected of a second generation. It's just a woman, but he's actually so nervous. It's really embarrassing. I'm afraid that Green Willow Manor will be destroyed in Ouyang Mingzhu's hands."
I just don't know how beautiful Ouyang Mingzhu's fiancee is, to be able to cause Ouyang Mingzhu to turn pale with fright. Thinking about it, a beauty capable of causing the downfall of a city can't be more than this.
Zhang Sheng looked towards the stairs and couldn't help but feel a bit more curious.
In the guest room.
Ouyang Mingzhu's pair of beautiful eyes looked straight at the doctor who was taking Jiujiu's pulse. Seeing him withdraw the golden thread, she hurriedly asked: "May I ask doctor, how is my wife's body?"
"Replying to Young Master Ouyang, your wife's mind is only heavy and it caused a knot in her chest. However, I don't know why she suddenly flew into a rage just now and fainted due to the agitation between the two. It's not a big problem. Allow me to prescribe some medicine for your wife later and she'll be fine after taking it."
"Steward Liu, send the doctor out." Ouyang Mingzhu heard the doctor say that Jiujiu was fine, and her heart that had been in her mouth finally relaxed.
Sitting on the bed and looking at Jiujiu who was still frowning even though she was asleep, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Because he had been by Jiujiu's side the entire time, he could naturally feel the sudden change in Jiujiu's mood. Thinking of this, Ouyang Mingzhu couldn't help but frown.
When Steward Liu returned, he ordered him to investigate the identity of the man who came to the inn last today. Only then did he feel at ease.
Although he didn't know why Jiujiu's mood suddenly changed, if it was because of that man, regardless of right or wrong, as long as Jiujiu was happy, he was willing to even commit murder and arson.
When Jiujiu woke up again, it was already the next morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Ouyang Mingzhu's unrealistically beautiful face was imprinted in her eyes.
Ouyang Mingzhu was lying on the bed. Her ink-black hair was scattered behind her head, revealing half of her face. Her face was incomparably handsome, and her cherry-colored thin lips made people want to drool. Jiujiu's eyes shook, and she couldn't help but be infatuated.
How could there be such a good-looking man in this world? As a woman, Jiujiu felt a little ashamed.
