C40 (1/2)

”I originally thought that Young Master Chu was at least a righteous man and that it was just a beauty trying to deceive me, but now, it seems that I have truly misunderstood you.”

Bai Zheng's voice came out slowly. Just as Chu Feng wanted to say something, he suddenly felt his waist go numb, his entire body turn stiff. Then, there was a sharp pain on his neck, causing him to fall down.

”If the Marquis doesn't come soon, Bai Zheng will really be captured by this guy.” Bai Zheng smiled slightly.

A man in a green robe walked out from behind the tree. He gently smiled, ”It's this marquis who came late and alarmed Miss Bai.”

Seeing Feng Linyuan's abnormally pale face, Bai Zheng thought back to the words that she had blurted out just now and said apologetically: ”Master Hou should stay in the Warm Pavilion to recuperate properly, you shouldn't be so reckless just because of Bai Zheng.”

Feng Linyuan smiled lightly: ”I am still able to do such small things. Is everything settled? ”

A black clothed man knelt on the ground and said respectfully: ”Done. It's just that on Young Master Chu's side … ”

Feng Linyuan looked at Chu Feng who was lying on the ground, and only looked at him without saying a word.

Bai Zheng said indifferently, ”Young Master Chu lost his fiancée, and was drinking and brooding over his grief. He actually stayed all night in these beautiful alleys and alleys, you have truly lost your virtue.”

The black-robed man was startled, he saw the light smile on Feng Linyuan's lips and quickly lowered his head: ”Yes!”

With that, he lifted Chu Feng and hid in the darkness.

Unknowingly, the carriage that had fallen to the side had already been lifted up by someone. Bai Zheng looked at the driver who was not lightly injured and said, ”Master Hou, please treat this big brother of yours.”

Feng Linyuan nodded his head, ”Miss Bai, do not worry. As he spoke, he gave a light cough.

Bai Zheng walked over, and her eyes revealed a look of worry: ”This time of night is the coldest, Master Hou only has his coat on, I'm afraid his back is going to be cold. Why didn't the Young Master Soong stop him and let the Marquis run out just like that? ”

Feng Linyuan smiled gently, but did not say a word.

There was also no need to tell Bai Zheng, she had already rushed over as soon as she received the news, it was just that his speed while sitting in the carriage was naturally slower than her own speed when flying over.

Feng Linyuan didn't know whether his worry for Bai Zheng at this time was due to him knowing that he would definitely need her when he steals the Bone-penetrating Herb the next day, or it was out of the bottom of his heart, which made his heart palpitate a little when he heard about Bai Zheng's accident.

”Now that the city gates have been locked, let this marquis send Miss Bai back to his residence.”

The Yongding City would close the city gate every day when it was young, leaving behind only the small door on the west side for the nobles who wished to return late every night to use. The daughter of a third stage vice minister who did not receive any rewards like Bai Zheng did not have the qualifications to enter and leave the west side small door after it had been opened.

However, if Marquis Dingyuan wanted to enter, the guards would naturally not dare to stop him.

Bai Zheng looked at Feng Linyuan and frowned. Ever since they met today, hadn't this Marquis Dingyuan's life been a bit too difficult?

As if he knew what she was thinking, Feng Linyuan said with a faint smile on his lips, ”Tomorrow, I cannot leave your aid, Miss Bai, so tonight, you must return to the manor safely.”

Seeing Feng Linyuan's gentle but firm eyes, Bai Zheng suddenly understood.

Since Chu Feng came to rob her, he must have arranged something for her in the city. If Soong Family arranged for escorts to not only have chariots, but also strong guards, Chu Feng could not guarantee that he would be able to kidnap her.

But as long as they could block Bai Zheng from leaving the city gate, at this special moment, when everyone was staring at her, if she did not return for a night, then that would be enough to ruin her reputation.

Bai Zheng bit her lips, lowered her eyes in thought for a moment, then raised her head and said: ”Then I will thank Master Hou for sending me off.”
