Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-One

Song Ruoxi sat in the private room for tea, his eyes stayed on the empty wooden door. The tea gradually cooled down and he changed to a pot. But he still didn't show up when he saw someone. Could it be that he wouldn't come? I forgot to confirm with Wu last night that he would come or not. It seems that today was a waste of time...

"Miss, it's already noon. Do you ask the shopkeeper to serve the food first?" Xiangxiu asked.

"Wait a little longer." Song Ruoxi frowned and looked out the window. There was no cloud in the blue sky. The hot sunlight burned the earth. He shook the round fan in his hand vigorously. In such weather, it was indeed not suitable to go out.

When the tea in the pot cooled again and the door was pushed open, Shangguan Moxun walked in, wearing a purple wide-sleeved brocade robe, and tied the hair that was about to be dispersed with a purple jade hairpin, and still looked like a lazy and romantic young man in Yonggui.

"You finally came. I have been waiting for you for a long time. I thought you were not here." Song Ruoxi's complaint was filled with a coquettish smell.

Shangguan Moxun's eyes flashed with a faint light, he sat down opposite Song Ruoxi, and asked, "What are you looking for me?"

After Song Ruoxiu and Qinghe left the room, he said, "My mother sent two groups of people to Lujiazhuang. It has been a few months since there has not been a single person. Can you help me find them back?"

"Why should I send someone to Lujiazhuang?"

"My mother is worried that I will marry Lu Fengyan, so I will send someone to inquire about his background."

"I grew up watching Yan Yan. If you know what kind of person he is, you can ask me, there is no need to look far away."

"I don't want to know what kind of person he is anymore. I want to know what kind of person you are?" Song Ruoxi looked at him with a bright look, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.

Shangguan Moxun's heart trembled, and he understood her implicit meaning, but he couldn't understand. He leaned on the chair, curled his lips and smiled, and said, "Girl, what kind of person I am has nothing to do with you."

"Related." Song Ruoxi smiled sly, "It has a lot to do."

"I have something to do, let's go first." Shangguan Moxun had guessed what Song Ruoxi was going to say. He couldn't let her say it out, he had to leave as soon as possible.

"At noon, it's a matter of food. It's up to me to have something to do. See if I've been waiting for you for so long, please treat me to dinner!" Song Ruoxi said with a sweet smile.

"I will treat you to dinner when Yan returns to Beijing." Shangguan Moxian stood up and walked towards the door.

"Mo Xun, I want you to treat me to dinner, not to treat me and Lu Fengyan to dinner." Song Ruoxi lowered the smile on his face, stood up, and looked at the man who was about to escape, "Actually, Lu Fengyan would make an agreement with me to reassure Aunt An, and he didn't care about me."

"He is doing business outside and will come back soon. He will come to your house to propose marriage and marry you." Shangguan Moxun is a man. Although it is a bit wrong for Lu Yan to be so busy that he has no news, men should put major events first.

"You really want me to marry him?" Song Ruoxi asked with a frown.

"This is an agreement between you and him, and you should keep your promise." Shangguan Moxun turned his back to her, his eyes dim.

"I have already made that agreement..." Song Ruoxi was very upset and felt like he was bound by himself. "That was just a verbal agreement and he couldn't count it."

"A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and his beloved will definitely marry you."

Song Ruoxi bit his lower lip, "What will you do if I refuse to marry him?"

Shangguan Moxun turned around and looked at her, and said in a deep voice: "I will tie you up into the sedan chair."

"Shangguan Moxun!" Song Ruoxi was furious and threw the round fan in his hand towards him. "You obviously like me, why do you want me to marry Lu Fengyan?"

Song Ruoxi does not know martial arts, and the round fan is not a heavy object. Even if she throws it with all her strength, the round fan will fall down lightly and fall to the ground before it even reaches Shangguan Moxun.

"When did I say I like you?" Shangguan Moxun curled his lips and sneered, "If it weren't for the sake of my sister-in-law and Yan Yan, what does your life and death have to do with me?"

Song Ruoxi stared at him, her eyelashes trembled like butterflies, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips, "You are right. How can you like a little girl like me, I am self-indulgent."

Shangguan Mo asked Song Ruoxi to be sad and heartbroken. He opened his mouth and almost wanted to tell her that she was not self-indulgent. He fell in love with her and had long been in love with her, but he could not. As long as he said it, his uncle took away his niece and was confused. He could not care about his reputation, but he couldn't bear to let her be criticized, so he could only harden his heart: "I will help you find someone. If you can't come back after you get married, I will come to him for marriage, and you will definitely marry into the Lu family in a grand manner. You don't have to worry."

"You don't need to help me find someone. After I get married, you don't need you to come to propose marriage. Lu Fengyan has no intention of marrying me, and I have no intention of marrying her. You tell him, and that agreement will be given up! Men and women have nothing to do with marriage." Song Ruoxi said while walking towards Shangguan Moxun, walked up to him, stopped, and looked at him, tears hidden in his eyes, "My parents will choose a good man to let me get married! You don't have to worry about it."

After saying that, Song Ruoxi walked past him, opened it and walked out.

Shangguan Moxun suddenly felt his vision blurred and closed his eyes in pain. After a long time, he opened his eyes. The deep eyes were calm. He walked over slowly, picked up the flower and bird fan made of ivory-handled moon-white cicada wing gauze, and held it tightly. It seemed that Song Ruoxi's body temperature still remained. This time, he hurt her deeply enough, and she would not come out to see him again in the future. This is also good, and this is the best.

Song Ruoxi rushed out sadly, not remembering wearing a curtain, going down to the second floor, and met Tuo Yan at the entrance of the stairs.

"Miss Seven, I didn't expect to meet you here." Tuo Yan was very surprised and blurted out his words. He didn't expect how presumptuous and rude he, a foreign man, was talking to a girl. Especially in this, there was a little bit of affair, just like the two of them met often.

Song Ruoxi turned a blind eye to Tuo Yan, turned a blind eye to his words, and continued to walk downstairs. Tuo Yan's entourage reached out to stop her and said arrogantly: "The prince is talking to you, are you deaf and didn't you hear it?"

"Get out!" Song Ruoxi's face was frosted, staring at the follower coldly, and shouted sternly.

"The prince, everyone comes to visit. I think this girl has something urgent to do. You don't want to offend the prince. There are many princes. Let me give you a high hand and let this girl over!" The shopkeeper knew Song Ruoxi, who was afraid that Tuo Yan would make things difficult for her, pleaded with mercy.

"Shaoli, don't be rude and let Miss Song go down." Tuo Yan came back from his surprise and saw that his entourage stopped Song Ruoxi, who was suspected of teasing the girl, so he hurriedly said.

The follower made way, Qinghe took two steps forward and blocked him to prevent him from suddenly doing anything bad.

Song Ruoxi went downstairs and left.

Tuo Yan looked at her back, then looked upstairs, and his eyes flashed with a flash, and he lowered his voice and said, "Shaoli, go up and take a look."

"Criminal, I'm sorry, I only entertain women." The shopkeeper knew that Shangguan Moxun was still on top, so he naturally didn't dare to let someone go up and said with a smile.

Tuo Yan stared at the shopkeeper with a gloomy look.

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and bowed to the end, "Prince, please forgive me."

Although Tuo Yan didn't know that Shiweilou was the property of Shangguan Family, there were many nobles who came here to eat. If there was a noble lady from a certain mansion, it would be bad if he had a collision. After all, he was just a prince, so he didn't bite him and followed the shopkeeper into the private room.

The shopkeeper arranged the person and went up to the third floor. "Young Master, when the girl went downstairs just now, she was stopped by the prince of Chengjin. Prince Tuo wanted the followers to come up, but was stopped by the young one."

Shangguan Moxun frowned when he saw the curtains placed beside him, "Are she scared?"

"The girl wasn't scared, she even shouted that man to get out of here."

Shangguan Moxun drooped his eyelids and said nothing.

The shopkeeper waited for a while, and saw that he had nothing to say, and said, "If the young master didn't give him instructions, the young man would go and do his job first."

Shangguan Moxun nodded slightly and his eyes returned to the round fan on the table.

The shopkeeper stepped out, thought for a while, and called a guard to guard the stairs at the entrance to prevent others from going up.

Shangguan Moxun saw things and thought of people on the roof. Song Ruoxi came out of the roof, but did not get on the carriage. He walked forward quickly. Xiangxiu and Qinghe vaguely heard the conversation inside. Knowing that the girl was angry, the two exchanged their eyes. Xiangxiu stepped forward and reminded her, "Girl, what delicious food did you say you should bring back to your wife?"

Song Ruoxi remembered the words when he went out, "Find a place to have lunch, buy some more things and go back!"

"Girl, it's better to take the bus!" Qinghe stepped up and helped her.

Song Ruoxi forgot to bring the hat and lost the fan. He was already dizzy because of the sun. He was angry, but there was no need to risk the scorching sun to seek suffering. Ren Qinghe helped her onto the carriage.

The carriage turned to another street and stopped outside another restaurant. Song Ruoxi had no curtains, so he had to put on a veil and ordered a private room from the store. He ordered a few dishes. The master and servant finished their meal and went to the pastry shop next door to buy some snacks, and then went home.

Song Ruoxi entered the second gate and went straight to the main courtyard of Zhuyinyuan.

"The girl is back!" Fu Cha took two little maids to sit in the corridor with embroidery flowers. When she saw her coming in, she stood up to greet her.

"Fucha, where has Madam gone?" Song Ruoxi asked strangely without seeing Ji Yun when he entered the room.

Fucha delivered the iced watermelon juice to Song Ruoxi, and Fang smiled and said, "Mrs. and the second wife have gone to Nanrong Lane."

Song Ruoxi frowned and asked, "Did the eldest wife make noises over the hair bun?"

"How could the girl know about this?"

"When I went out, I met someone who came here to send a bun. I looked familiar with the bun." Song Ruoxi took a sip of watermelon juice and said.

"The eldest lady found that the bun was not brand new, but had used it before, and the smell of oil on it. The descendant cake was not from Shuangxitang, so she took someone to discuss it with her. The manager was afraid that something might happen, so she asked the second wife and his wife to go over and persuade her."

"Mom won't come back for a while, so I won't wait here. I'll go back to the yard to rest first." Song Ruoxi's face has always been bad, and she is not in a bad mood. She is a little lucky to have not met Ji Yun, otherwise she would have been seen.

Fucha sent Song Ruoxi out diligently.
