With these witnesses, Zhen Yiyun's reputation was half ruined.
After all, her dress was all soaked, and she was still lying on top of the man when she was exhausted, so it was a skin-to-skin kiss.
Even if Zhen Yiyun didn't want to marry the man in purple that she rescued, she obviously couldn't marry Fu Nianjia again.
However, as a younger sister, Zhen Tingyun couldn't blame Fu Nianjia when she saw such a scene, because it was Zhen Yiyun who came here alone without the people around her, it was Zhen Yiyun who took the initiative to jump into the water to save people, and it was Zhen Yiyun who sent people to find witnesses. This whole thing is just like what Fu Nianjia said - "The fruit she gets can only be the cause she sowed."
And what Fu Nianjia did was to arrange a purple-clothed man who was similar to him to go for a swim in the lake.
Perhaps, but also to add a cold look.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is Zhen Yiyun's fault after all, and Zhen Tingyun, who is a sister, can't say much. But for some reason, she was just a little angry, but she didn't know what she was angry about at the moment, so she could only raise her head, look directly at Fu Nianjia with black eyes, and asked word by word, "Since the prince has arranged people in advance, He also invited someone to invite me over, presumably because he already knew she would come?"
For Zhen Tingyun's almost rude questioning, Fu Nianjia didn't take it personally, and even nodded.
However, immediately, he shook his head in denial and responded to her question with more precise words: "Actually, I can't be completely sure about many things until the last moment. It's just that Zhen Yiyun's boldness and greed are just as I expected. ."
Zhen Tingyun looked at him and said slowly: "Since you had expected it earlier, you also let the girl threaten me with Zhen Yiyun's reputation and the loss of a sister... Then, why don't you Send someone to stop her?!"
When speaking, Zhen Tingyun felt that he was about to vomit blood: originally, she was eating her food at the banquet, and she didn't care about the bloody drama of Zhen Yiyun and Fu Nianjia. But while Fu Nianjia sent someone to threaten her with Zhen Yiyun's reputation, she also arranged for someone to help destroy Zhen Yiyun's reputation.
Well, now Zhen Yiyun has ruined his reputation, and he can't marry Fu Nianjia again, but can Zhen Tingyun get a good reputation as his sister?
Especially, at this time, Zhen Tingyun was not at the banquet, and he was watching the play with Fu Nianjia. If this spread, Zhen Tingyun's reputation would definitely be bad, and no one would suspect that she was her sister. It's because she was jealous of her sister secretly - wait, maybe Zhen Yiyun can really use this statement to fool Pei's...
The more Zhen Tingyun thought about it, the worse she became. Although she hated Zhen Yiyun, she never thought of harming others. The best revenge for her was to ignore Zhen Yiyun and Pei Shi and live her own life... But, Fu Nianjia's sudden revelation not only broke her promise, but also disrupted her life - now it's cool, but what's next?
Zhen Yiyun happened such a thing, how will today's lotus appreciation banquet end? After returning, what will Zhen Yiyun and Pei's reaction be? And all the troubles that come with it. . . . . .
For a while, Zhen Tingyun had a splitting headache and didn't want to say a word to Fu Nianjia.
However, Fu Nianjia still had a lot to say.
"I thought you knew why I didn't stop her." Fu Nianjia's voice was light, as if he had another meaning, "After all, you came to the lake two times before, but not this time."
Zhen Tingyun was having a headache, but when he heard the words, it was like being struck by lightning, so he subconsciously raised his head to look at Fu Nianjia.
Fu Nianjia's expression was the same as usual, but her eyes were as deep as pools, her pupils were black, and she was looking at her seriously and attentively.
Zhen Tingyun felt cold all over.
She remembered the dream she had before coming to Beijing—her dream was so long and vague that she only remembered the general plot after waking up, and she really didn’t know if she in the dream had gone to the lotus banquet. Did you go to the lake...
But if the self in the dream really went to the lake, then if he didn't come this time, the comparison between before and after is indeed a little suspicious.
and many more!
Shouldn't it be more doubtful that Fu Nianjia knew about this?
Zhen Tingyun thought that he had a dream was a big fate, but when he heard Fu Nianjia's words, it seemed that he knew more than he did. Thinking like this, she looked at Fu Nianjia with a little doubt, and denied it: "The prince is joking, this is the first time I have come to Yanwang's mansion, and where did the 'first two' come from?"
Fu Nianjia didn't care about her refutation, she just said lightly, "Just think I'm joking."
When he said this, Zhen Tingyun didn't know how to refute it.
However, Fu Nianjia turned around, looked out the window, and said in a wistful voice, "I once knew a girl. The first time she came to the lake, she just wanted to pick a lotus flower, but she didn't know the way and went around. Turned into this room by mistake, and it happened to save my life. It's just that she was cautious by nature and quietly left before I woke up. Afterwards, I suspected that she saved me, so I paid more attention. Naturally, I fell in love with her. Later, I found out that she saved me, and I was overjoyed. I thought it was a god-sent marriage, and I wanted to confess to her... But she is already engaged, and a gentleman doesn't take people's favor. Just quit."
"The second time she came to this lake, it was because she was ostracized and laughed at at the banquet, and she felt uncomfortable, so she came out in private. As a result, she saved my life by coincidence. It stands to reason that she was in a difficult situation at the time, and she should take this as a threat. It's right to ask for repayment, but she still quietly left before I woke up. And the people later recognized this life-saving grace..."
"At that time, I always had a feeling of emptiness in my heart, and I always felt like I was missing something. It was not until this incident that I had a faint urgency and desire in my heart. Therefore, I quickly adapted to my feelings and that The person who pretended to save his life decided to marry her, marry her, and treat her as best as I could. Until later, when I remembered what I lacked and found out what happened at the time, the girl I liked is no longer there."
Zhen Tingyun vaguely understood what he meant, and his face was slightly pale.
"The first time, I was late, and I recognized it; the second time, I was too impatient, and I was late again..." Having said this, Fu Nianjia looked at her sideways and sighed In one breath, "So, this time, I'm still late, right?"
He looked at people without blinking, his eyes were too deep and heavy, like a traveler who had been wandering for a long time, unable to see the way back and the way forward, carrying a too heavy past alone.
The stories and grief almost bent his straight back.
Zhen Tingyun couldn't look directly at this kind of gaze, so he had to slightly avoid it.
As if she understood what she meant, Fu Nianjia shook her head slightly, and continued, "It's my fault to threaten you and go back against your wishes. I apologize to you. As for Zhen Yiyun..."
"As I said before, 'The fruit she gets can only be the cause she sowed,' and I have no guilt about it."
While talking, Fu Nianjia turned his back and looked out the window. The sunlight shone on his thin shoulders through the window sash, coating him with a thin layer of golden light.
He just stood there quietly, wearing a golden crown and purple robe, with a long body and a jade-like figure, just like the figure who had just glimpsed under the plane tree.
Just listen to him in a low voice: "I will let someone take you back to the banquet. As for Zhen Yiyun's matter, leave it to the people below to deal with it, and I will let someone send her back to Zhen's house in advance. This matter, you should be I don't know, and I don't care."
********
Probably because Fu Nianjia's words were too shocking, Zhen Tingyun still couldn't keep calm, thinking about those things in a chaotic way.
She went back to the banquet in such a confused way, and dealt with the next thing in a confused way, until she came out of Prince Yan's mansion and saw a carriage parked at the door.
The person in the car raised his hand and lifted the curtain, stuck his head out of the car, and stared at Zhen Tingyun who had just gone out.
The fingers he pressed against the curtain were long and strong, with well-defined knuckles. His face was extremely handsome, his thin lips were slightly raised, and there seemed to be a faint smile between his eyebrows.
It was Fu Changxi.
Fu Changxi looked in the direction of Zhen Tingyun, smiled, and waved to her, signaling her to get in the car.
Looking at him, Zhen Tingyun's messy heart somehow calmed down.
At the same time, Yang Qionghua, who went out with Zhen Tingyun, couldn't hold it anymore, and quietly backed away from the door with hands and feet.
Then, she saw Rong Ziming who put his hands around his chest and seemed to be waiting to watch the excitement.
Although, Rong Ziming was too scared to go out by his uncle's carriage, but seeing Yang Qionghua coming back, he couldn't help raising his chin and sneered: "Are you stupid? Just stop outside, you dare to follow... Then who goes out?"
In view of the relationship between Zhen Tingyun and Fu Changxi, Rong Ziming didn't know how to call Zhen Tingyun for a while - calling Zhen's sister Zhen girl always felt a bit out of line, and it seemed inappropriate to call her aunt... So, he had to use it temporarily. "Who" is used as a reference.
Yang Qionghua naturally understood this vague reference, and felt a little angry in her heart. Looking at Rong Ziming's ill-fated appearance, she finally couldn't help rolling up her sleeves, revealing her snow-white and slender hands.
Then, she clenched her fist, and the knuckles made a clicking sound.
Rong Ziming looked at her cautiously.
Yang Qionghua tilted his head and smiled at him, with a sweet smile like the girl next door. However, the little girl just stepped forward with her fists clenched, and asked step by step, "Did you know that the Prince Regent's car was waiting outside? You didn't say a word? You just watched me go out?"
Looking at her fist, which was smaller than Baozi, Rong Ziming was very conscientious and closed his mouth very cowardly.
*********
In fact, when Fu Changxi came here this time, although he was traveling lightly, he was still low-key, but he still couldn't hide it from the people he was close to.
Therefore, Rong Ziming recognized it, and so did the people in the Yan Palace, especially the Regent who lifted the curtain and showed his face.
The servants of the palace did not dare to hide it, and immediately reported it.
Fu Nianjia soon heard that Zhen Tingyun had boarded the Prince Regent's carriage and left, and was a little pondered for a while.
He was not stupid and immediately remembered the night of the Qixi Festival-that day, Uncle Su sent someone to invite him over to the mansion inexplicably, saying that there was something important to discuss, and he would not be allowed to delay for a moment. As a result, he waited in the palace for most of the night until Uncle Su came back from outside, and what he said was just a few small things...
At that time, he had some doubts in his heart, but this doubt was a bit ridiculous, and Uncle Su had always been a dignified and stern personality, so he didn't dare to think about it.
Unfortunately, now it's happening again!
If Uncle Su still wanted to cover up on the night of Qixi Festival, then this time he directly parked the carriage at the gate of Prince Yan's mansion, and personally came forward to pick up people and leave, obviously he was not ready to cover up.
It's not even a hint, it's an indication.
Thinking of this, Fu Nianjia unconsciously raised her long eyebrows, her face sinking like water. After a while, he got up and went to Princess Yan's residence.
Princess Yan has always been low-key on weekdays, and there are very few banquets in the palace. Therefore, today's lotus appreciation banquet really bothered her, especially in the middle of the story that Zhen Yiyun, the girl, went into the water to save people. Although she barely concealed the past, after this series of events, Princess Yan was also a little tired.
Therefore, Princess Yan had already changed into light regular clothes under the service of the maids at this time, and was sitting on the long couch, while the two maids played fans on the side to serve.
Seeing Aiko entering the door, Princess Yan couldn't help but lift her spirits, sat up straight from the couch, and smiled: "Why do you keep a straight face?"
Before Fu Nianjia could answer, Princess Yan glanced at the maids who were fanning by her side and motioned them to step back.
Then, she waved to Fu Nianjia and said with a smile, "Come and sit down, sit down and talk..."
Fu Nianjia went forward in silence, then lifted the corner of his robe and sat upright on the side of Princess Yan's couch.
Seeing that her son had been sullen from the beginning, Princess Yan was also a little worried as a mother. She couldn't help but raised her hand and patted the back of her son's hand lightly, and asked with concern, "Say, what's the matter?"
Fu Nianjia didn't speak immediately. He considered his words and asked softly, "Mother, do you know why the uncle is still unmarried?"
Hearing this, Princess Yan's brows and hearts twitched slightly, her eyes condensed, and her smiling face seemed to sank.
She looked at the look on Aiko's face with a scrutiny, and asked without answering, "Why did you suddenly think of asking this?"
