Today, Chen Zhao had just returned from fooling around outside. Coincidentally, he saw a few people walking out of the courtyard. The girl in the middle had a delicate appearance. His eyes could not help but brighten. When he saw her clearly, he realized that it was Jiang Ruan.
Usually, Jiang Ruan's attire was not as dignified as Chen Fang's, so Chen Zhao rarely paid attention to her. A few days ago, he had only suddenly thought of testing out the taste of an official's young miss. Who would have expected that this young miss would have such a fiery temperament? Unexpectedly, she had jumped into the water without saying anything. Thinking about it now, he had a bellyful of pent-up anger. Who knew that when he saw her today, his eyes would light up. Perhaps it was because it was the New Year, he dressed up a little, but his facial features were extremely delicate. Most importantly, that calm and ice-cold temperament made him seem like a completely different person.
Chen Zhao narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up the girl in front of him. Jiang Ruan was not more than ten years old this year. Her physique was slightly childish, but there was also a sense of stability within it. Strangely, there was some maturity about her. When two completely different temperaments appeared on the same person, it made the other person seem to have a different kind of charm. Even though she was only a ten-year-old girl, Chen Zhao couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had seen some young masters in the Chu Martial Arts Club who had a special hobby of playing with young girls, but he didn't know what it felt like.
Lian Qiao could not stand Chen Zhao's lecherous gaze on Jiang Ruan and her expression turned cold. Without thinking, she opened her mouth and said, "Impudent! Who allowed you to be so unruly and speak to your master like this!"
Although her words were rather imposing, they did not have much effect. Chen Zhao was not afraid. He had also heard of the status of this distressed young miss in the capital. Looking at Zhang Lan's words, it was possible that Jiang Ruan would have to stay in this Zhuangzi for the rest of her life. Since this was the case, it would be best if he could play with her.
Although he was thinking this way, Chen Zhao still smiled and bowed, "It's Zhao's fault. Just now, I saw a few people walking over from afar and was wondering who the fairy-like younger sister in the middle was. She looked very unfamiliar. When I walked closer, I saw that it was Miss and couldn't control my emotions. Please forgive me."
Once these words were spoken, not only Lian Qiao, but even Baizhi's expression changed. She said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you ruin my lady's reputation!"
Chen Zhao took two steps back in surprise, "Spoil Miss's reputation? I have never thought of it like this. Young Lady is of noble birth, how would I dare to have such thoughts? I only hope that Young Lady will not chase me away and let me look at you from afar. I will be satisfied. " He had harmed many innocent girls in his daily life, and the moment he opened his mouth, he had a glib tongue. If a normal girl heard his words, she would either burst into tears in anger or blush in embarrassment. However, today was a little unusual.
Jiang Ruan looked at him quietly. Her clear and bright eyes were like a cold lake in winter, without a trace of warmth. Her gaze was cold, but her lips curved into a shallow arc, as if she was watching a clown perform. There was no shame, no tears, just a cold and unmoving expression.
Chen Zhao was startled, but Jiang Ruan replied unhurriedly, "Naturally, I will not chase you away."
Lian Qiao and Baizhi stared blankly. What did Jiang Ruan's words mean?
Chen Zhao was also somewhat puzzled, but then he was secretly delighted. He glanced at the two servant girls complacently, thinking that this Young Lady was quite tactful. But now, it seemed that so what if she was a Young Lady of a noble family? After staying in the countryside for too long, she still lost her sense of propriety and shame.
"The day before yesterday, you accidentally pushed me into the pool. I caught a cold and was bedridden. Lan momo invited a doctor for me and personally apologized to me, asking me to forgive you. I have already forgiven you, so naturally, I will not chase you away. " Jiang Ruan's voice was soft and gentle, with a refreshing coolness, but Chen Zhao's heart sank when he heard it.
After Jiang Ruan fell into the pool, in order to deceive others, he had only said that he had accidentally caused Jiang Ruan to fall. Jiang Ruan's words made Chen Zhao remember that in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he should not meet her as often as possible. But now that Jiang Ruan had said it, was it intentional or unintentional? Thinking of this, Chen Zhao looked at Jiang Ruan seriously. He saw that the girl was standing in the same place. The old and dull clothes on her did not make her look haggard, but instead made her skin as white as snow, her eyes as black as ink, and her eyebrows as black as ink. Between her eyebrows, there was actually a kind of austere charm.
Chen Zhao was startled, but his gaze became infatuated. Since he had discovered that this Jiang family's young miss was interesting, he naturally would not let her go. There was plenty of time in the future, so there was no need to rush. Thinking of this, he giggled and bowed to Jiang Ruan again, "It's all Zhao's fault, causing Miss to become so thin. Today, Miss is going out, so Zhao will not disturb you. I will pay a visit another day to apologize."
"Who wants you to pay a visit to apologize?" Lian Qiao glared at him. Chen Zhao smiled and left.
After Chen Zhao left, Lian Qiao and Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. Bai Zhi frowned and said, "Miss, why did you say that just now? He is trouble, how could you..."
"Yes, yes," Lian Qiao followed up, "I really wish I could gouge out both his eyeballs! Disgusting! "
"I will gouge them out," Jiang Ruan said indifferently, "If he wants to silently watch me from afar, then I will let him watch as much as he wants."
Bai Zhi and Lian Qiao looked at each other, only feeling that their young miss's tone was somewhat cold. After a pause, Bai Zhi said, "Who cares about him, let's go out for a walk. These few days, there is nothing going on in the residence, so the East Street should be very lively."
East Street? Jiang Ruan thought about it and shook her head, "No, let's go to the West Street."
"West Street?" Bai Zhi was somewhat hesitant, "Miss, why do you want to go to the West Street? There are many beggars and commoners on the West Street, and since it is the New Year, it will be even more chaotic. Miss, it's better if you don't go there. There are many cosmetic shops and restaurants on the East Street, and there are also some interesting things. Why not go to the East Street for a walk? "
Jiang Ruan shook her head, "Go to the West Street." Although her voice was soft, it was indeed unquestionable. Obviously, she had already made up her mind.
Bai Zhi was stunned, and suddenly felt a little awkward.
"Aiya, let's listen to Miss, go to the West Street." Lian Qiao patted Bai Zhi's shoulder, "With us here, what is there to be afraid of? Moreover, it is broad daylight, there is no need to be so particular. If there is really a problem, there are still servants to protect you, Miss, you can rest assured. "
Bai Zhi could only nod, but she became more and more puzzled. The gap between the rich and the poor in the East Street and the West Street was a place where the poor people lived, so naturally, it was not as lively and prosperous as the East Street. Usually, her young miss did not have the intention to go to the West Street, why did she suddenly have a sudden impulse today? Bai Zhi felt that she could not understand her young miss's thoughts more and more. It was as if in one night, her young miss had grown nine hearts. Being stared at by that pair of ink-black eyes, she felt a little cold.
Lian Qiao, on the other hand, was extremely happy. Jiang Ruan was obviously enlightened. Compared to being meek and submissive, it was much better to have the appearance of a master. At least those people would not dare to bully her openly.
Jiang Ruan did not pay attention to the thoughts of the two servant girls beside her, and only walked forward quietly. However, if one looked carefully, one could still see that her fingertips were slightly trembling.
Some things, from the beginning, should have been changed.
