My Lady is well

Chapter 88 Jealousy 1

Jing Ruzhang raised his hand gracefully and caught the scroll falling from above.

He raised his head slightly, his face as gloomy as water, avoided looking at Master Xie, and glanced at Shen Yueyao lightly.

Seeing her standing there staring at him stupidly, with fear in her peach blossom eyes, she seemed very surprised that he appeared here.

She and the handsome scholar chatted and laughed all the way to the teahouse. Why did she always act so pretentiously in front of him?

Thinking of this, he was so angry that his heart palpitated, and his voice was filled with a lingering chill.

"What? You want me to come up."

Shen Yueyao calmed herself down and saw that he was in casual clothes, thinking that he didn't want to reveal his identity. She glanced at Mr. Xie beside her and said timidly with her head down.

"Don't dare."

She turned around and slowly walked down the stairs. Master Xie frowned slightly, knowing that the person below was not a simple person and the girl might find it difficult to deal with him.

Looking at her frail figure, he felt sorry for her and felt a bit of pity for her. He knew many dignitaries in the capital, but he had never seen the one below.

The girl was open-minded and kind-hearted. They were just casual acquaintances, but she was willing to buy all his paintings and invited him to tea.

She was born beautiful, and she escaped in disguise, probably because she didn't want to be forced.

Thinking that I am quite famous in the capital, as she said, meeting is fate.

Let's try to save her today and see what kind of person he is.

He followed Shen Yueyao and went downstairs with her.

Shen Yueyao walked up to him, twisted her cloth robe, knelt down and lowered her head. Master Xie looked at her in confusion, and her whole body was shaking slightly.

She sighed inwardly, this man was so domineering that he scared her like this. He was completely different from the bright and generous person just now.

He still couldn't guess the girl's identity.

He clasped his fists and bowed to Jing Ruzhang, speaking in a gentle voice.

"I wonder how this girl has offended this gentleman? After all, she is a girl, so I hope you will treat her well."

Jing Ruzhang didn't look at the two people. He just unfolded the scroll in his hand, glanced at them coldly, and said in a cold voice.

"You are not bound by rules. You are a disciple of Liu Yi. Judging from the style of your writing, you are his second disciple Xie Lanci."

Mr. Xie was shocked. He said this without any doubt and in a firm tone.

He could determine his own identity just by the strokes of his brush, so he must have seen his own paintings.

He smiled gently and said modestly.

"It is me, Sir. May I ask your name?"

Jing Ruzhang lowered his eyes and fixed them only on Shen Yueyao, not giving anyone else a glance, with emotions surging in his eyes.

A young man who spends his days with pen and ink, and has not yet experienced the feeling of sorrow, thinks that with his little talent and fame, he can become a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering.

He sneered in his heart, laughing at him for being ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, and hated him for being self-righteous.

He would not have taken such a person to heart at all, but as he looked at the person in front of him, his heart was boiling with anger, and many horrifying thoughts popped up in his mind.

A layer of fine and dense shadows was cast under Jing Ruzhang's long eyelashes, and there was a complicated expression in his deep eyes.

He slowly rolled up the scroll and held it beside his hand. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his thin lips and said with a smile.

"I'm just going out of the house to look for my maid, why do you want to meddle in this business?"

Shen Yueyao lowered her head and frowned secretly. This man was making up stories.

What is intended?

Xie Lanci secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that she was just a maid, this way, it would be easy to deal with.

"Since she is a maid, I am willing to pay ten times the money to redeem her indenture and give her back her freedom. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

After listening to this, Jing Ruzhang raised the corner of his mouth with a sneer, his eyes fixed on the person on the ground, and he used the painting in his hand to gently lift her small chin.

When their eyes met, Shen Yueyao realized that his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were bloodshot. His expression was cold, and murderous intent surged in his dark eyes.

There was a tear hanging on Shen Yueyao's long eyelashes, about to fall, but it looked very delicate.

I thought I might not survive the day.

"If she wants to, I won't force her to stay. Tell me yourself, are you willing to let this gentleman redeem you?"

What on earth is Jing Ruzhang trying to do?

She felt like she was being cheated.

Not forcing it?!

You chased me out of the palace without any hesitation?!

He asked even though he knew the answer. If he said yes, he would probably be killed on the spot.

This person is so shameless!

Shen Yueyao gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, concealed her forbearance, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, sir. No need, I...I am willing to go back with you..."

Xie Lanci's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at her thoughtfully.

I thought to myself, she is obviously afraid of this man, why is she unwilling?

Could it be... that you are afraid that he won't keep his word?

Can......

Since she said she didn't want to, there was no way to force her.

Jing Ruzhang extended his slender white hand to Shen Yueyao. She stared at him for a while, then slowly placed her trembling hand in his palm and used some strength to stand up.

She tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly. She struggled a little, but failed, so she turned her head away.

Jing Ruzhang hated the way she endured humiliation.

She was obviously afraid that he would attack Xie, and wanted to protect him, so she held her hand with some force.

Shen Yueyao groaned in pain, and a trace of pity appeared between his brows. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and loosened the strength in his hands.

He laughed out of anger and turned his head to say to Xie Lanci.

"It seems that I will let down Master Xie's kindness."

Xie Lanci wanted to fight for it again, but couldn't find the right words for a moment.

Jing Ruzhang no longer had the intention to tease her. God knows why he appeared here today!

I heard last night that she escaped from the palace, as if she was possessed by a demon.

Sometimes he thought about catching her and locking her up, sometimes he thought locking her up wasn't enough and he wanted to break her legs so she couldn't escape again.

As I was thinking, daybreak came.

He gathered all his energy to listen to the morning court, deal with important matters, and rushed here without stopping.

When he saw this terrible scene, he did have the thought of killing, but he completely dissipated it in her horrified eyes.

He grabbed her hand and turned to walk out the door.

Shen Yueyao was caught off guard and was suddenly dragged out by him. She sprained her ankle and screamed in surprise.

Hearing the sound, Jing Ruzhang turned around and saw her rushing towards him. He turned sideways to avoid her head-on impact and only stretched out his hand to hold her waist as she leaned forward.

Xie Lanci took a step forward and frowned.

"Are you okay, miss?"

He straightened her up with a cold face, and took two steps forward without hearing her footsteps following him.

He looked back at her with a frown on his face. She was limping forward, probably because she had sprained her ankle.

Shen Yueyao gave him a resentful look and thought to herself, why do I always fall down when I'm with him?

He walked up to her, with a hint of compromise in his eyes that he himself was not aware of.

He pulled her arm into his arms, put one hand through her waist, and the other hand around her knees, then bent down and picked her up sideways.

She glanced at the person in her arms. Her body was stiff and her eyelashes trembled.

Seeing her like this, he felt a surge of anger in his heart and felt a pain in his internal organs.

He walked out with heavy steps. When the guards saw him carrying a man out, they lowered their heads in panic and moved away.

I was afraid that I would see something I shouldn’t see and lose my life in vain.

Jing Ruzhan stepped on the horse stool and threw her into the wide carriage.
