C126 (1/2)
The man on the horse had a very timely reaction. When he collided with the horse carriage, he quickly reined the horse in, to the point where it looked like the horse was shocked. It roared and raised its front hooves, but the man on the horse didn't budge at all.
Even with Fang Dai's support, she was still struck until she felt dizzy. Fang Dai's brows tensed up, and immediately rushed out, in a few steps, she sat on the back of the horse who had been frightened, and firmly held onto the reins. This caused an irreparable accident, and any later, the roadside stalls would have been kicked up into the sky by the horses.
With Fang Dai's comforting, she slowly calmed herself down. The other man who bumped into the other side was calmly watching Fang Dai train the horse, seemingly interested in the girl's skills, but Fang Dai was not angry at him at all, she glared at him fiercely, and spoke with anger in her voice, ”Young master, can you not be slow riding on the streets? Even if you're called Ma Liang Horse, don't wander on the streets of the capital, it would be troublesome if you hurt someone.”
However, that person laughed impolitely. ”If I don't make a mistake this time, how would I know that there is such a good girl in the capital?”
When Xie Jingxi heard this person's voice, she unconsciously frowned. Although this man's words were a bit disgraceful, from the moment the words came out, they carried a sense of sinister danger, the voice was extremely uncomfortable, as if they came from underground. It naturally carried a dense chill that could make people shiver under the sun.
Fang Dai was a martial arts practitioner so she immediately sensed the unhappy aura from this person's body. Her brows furrowed even more tightly as she looked at him warily, but for some reason, Xie Jingxi's curiosity was piqued as she subconsciously lifted the carriage's curtain and saw the man sitting on the horse.
However, she did not expect that her face was covered with a veil, to the point that she had the mysteriousness of a chivalrous hero, Xie Jingxi was startled, and suddenly felt a bit of regret, and before she could put down the carriage curtain again, the man opened her mouth and said: ”I was careless and knocked onto my wife, I really deserve death, I hope my wife does not blame me.”
Therefore, Xie Jingxi could only look at him again. Just as she was about to speak, the man suddenly lifted her veil and nodded at her, and the moment she saw his face, Xie Jingxi was stunned.
Although it was just a short glance, but this glance was like a blade that was imprinted in Xie Jingxi's mind. Then, a string in her mind suddenly snapped, and with a loud explosion, it split into pieces like lightning. Xie Jingxi thought, Is she seeing things?
The man's face was actually exactly the same as Gu Wan's.
Xie Jingxi squinted her eyes to look at the man on the horse, it was as though she could see the ridicule and playfulness in his eyes through the veil, it was just a fleeting glance, but this man's expression was clearly engraved in her mind. After a while, she realized that this man's eyes were filled with unspeakable hostility, he had purposely bumped into her.
”Fang Dai, let's go.”
Xie Jingxi meaningfully glanced at him, then closed the curtain of the sedan chair and ordered Fang Dai to continue walking back. Fang Dai glared at him fiercely, saying in her heart that if she ever called for his grandaunt to meet her alone again, he would definitely teach her a lesson.
The man on the horse watched the departing carriage with interest and muttered, ”Looks like this trip back was not in vain. Interesting, interesting.”
When Fang Dai returned to the carriage, she saw that Xie Jingxi's complexion was not well. She thought that she must have been frightened, ”Madam, you're not hurt, right?
She did not think that the Gu family would actually have a Fourth Young Master. Don't ask her why she was so sure, from the moment she saw that face, her first reaction was this. There would not be anyone in this world who looked so similar to Gu Wan.
But since the Gu family really had a Fourth Young Master, then where did this Fourth Young Master go? Why wasn't he raised in the Marquis Mansion, and why had he suddenly appeared all of a sudden?
”Fang Dai, you have followed Eldest Young Master for so long, do you know that there's actually a Fourth Young Master in the Marquis Mansion?”
”Fourth Young Master? Isn't it Miss Gu Wan? ”
It seemed that Fang Dai did not know either, or could it be that Gu Yun did not know as well, but her feelings were not wrong. That person clearly knew that she was the Young Mistress of the Gu family and had purposely bumped into her, at the very least, it meant that the Fourth Young Master knew everything about Marquis Mansion, and her attitude was not very friendly.
”No, you didn't see that person's face just now. It looked exactly the same as Gu Wan's.
”Madam, you must be serious!” Fang Dai was also panic-stricken, ”This, this is too unexpected, the Young Master never mentioned it.”
However, what was even more unexpected was that on the same night, Xie Jingxi saw the Gu family's fourth young master at the Marquis Mansion.
Not to mention Xie Jingxi, even Gu Wan was so shocked that her jaw dropped. After living for more than ten years, suddenly, a 90% image of her younger brother appeared in front of him.
”Mother, father, this … this can't be true, right?”
It was rare to see the entire Marquis Mansion family gathered together, so Marquis sat at the seat of honor with a sullen face. Lady Zeng's excitement of seeing her son was still hanging on his face when she suddenly saw what happened.
”It's sister-in-law, right? We meet again.” They did not expect Gu Qing to greet Xie Jingxi first, so everyone looked at the two of them in surprise.
Xie Jingxi did not speak, but took the initiative to explain, ”Oh, today on the street, I accidentally bumped into Sister-in-law's carriage, and made Sister-in-law shocked. I'm sorry.”
