Chapter 675: The widowed sister-in-law is beautiful but has a tragic fate (3)

Qingzhi quickly brewed some new tea.

Xie Songhan brought it to his lips, paused for a moment, and then put it down. "Eat the wontons first. They might not taste good if they get cold."

From his position he could see everyone around him. At first he suspected that the proprietress did it on purpose, but when he saw that she acted like an ordinary village woman and there was nothing unusual on her face, Xie Songhan dispelled his suspicions about her.

Observing secretly, he quickly locked onto the target.

It turned out to be one of his personal servants, Chang Le.

That guilty look was a little abnormal.

He and Qingzhi were responsible for daily necessities, one inside and one outside.

What level of betrayal is this? Xie Songhan curled his lips slightly.

He glanced at Qingzhi and his heart softened slightly. Fortunately, it was not her.

If the person he had raised since childhood dared to betray him, Xie Songhan felt that he would not let the other person die so easily.

"Qingzhi, come and sit down."

Qingzhi was a little flattered. The young master attached great importance to rules and actually wanted to sit at the same table with her.

Not daring to disobey, she sat upright and ate the wontons that Xie Songhan scooped for her in small bites.

Gu Zhen was pretending to be busy at the stove. She had already seen through Xie Songhan's methods. This man was indeed unfathomable!

Having successfully avoided the crisis and not arousing the male protagonist's suspicion, Gu Zhen was in a good mood.

Xie Songhan didn't want to expose the matter, and was grateful to the proprietress for saving his life by accident, so he gave a lot more when paying the bill.

Gu Zhen weighed the purse in her hand and put it in her arms with satisfaction.

......

After handing over the work and dealing with Chang Le, it was already late when Xie Songhan returned home. Qingzhi had prepared dinner and was waiting for him in the yard.

Seeing the young master coming back, Qingzhi skillfully took off her coat and helped Xie Songhan wash his hands. However, after washing this time, her hands were held by someone.

The fingers are thin, slender, with distinct joints, and as white as jade.

The area from Qingzhi's ears to her tender neck turned red, and she bit her lower lip, not daring to move.

Xie Songhan smiled softly and took Qingzhi to sit at the table.

He was surrounding people, and there was a faint smell of blood on his body. Qingzhi felt a chill in her heart. Her own young master seemed easy to talk to, but in fact he was cold-hearted and heartless.

But even so, she couldn't control herself from liking this person.

The prince of the marquisate, who was as bright as the moon, had once taught her how to paint with his own hands.

"When Chang Le spoke without thinking, he said that you ordered him to do it," Xie Songhan brushed away the hair beside her ear, "Zhizhi, will you betray me?"

Qingzhi hurriedly wanted to stand up to show his loyalty, but was held down by Xie Songhan and could not move.

Although he treated her specially in the Marquis' Mansion before, Qingzhi felt that it was because they grew up together.

However, on the way to Qinghe Town, Xie Songhan suddenly became interested and became a little closer than before.

They both knew what Qingzhi's mission was.

Xie Songhan originally had no such plan, but his mother insisted, and he didn't dislike Qingzhi either.

This is the girl he taught himself, gentle and quiet, well-behaved in every way, and every strand of her hair was born for him.

Having been betrayed today, Xie Songhan didn't like the people and things under his command being out of control, and he was eager to vent.

I was originally planning to collect the Qingzhi, but now I just did it earlier.

Xie Songhan lifted her chin: "Do you know why you are here?"

Qingzhi nodded with trembling eyelashes: "I know that the princess asked me to serve you well. I will do my best to satisfy you."

Xie Songhan's mother was a princess who had always been strong and had the final say in the mansion. She loved her only son to her core. Knowing that he only had such a lovely maid by his side, she simply proposed Qingzhi to be his concubine.

After all, in the eyes of the princess, her son was exiled to Qinghe Town to suffer, and she was worried because there was no one to take care of him.

Qingzhi was willing in her heart, as she had admired the young man for a long time.

Xie Songhan's eyes gradually darkened, and he carried the person to the inner room.

He has always been cold and restrained, but this time he didn't hold back. He manipulated Qingzhi into the way he liked. After all this, he woke up half a quarter of an hour later the next day, which was a rare event.

Chang An was waiting outside. When Xie Songhan came out, he told him not to make any noise and disturb the person sleeping in the room.

Xie Songhan changed his clothes quickly. He had an appointment with his mentor today, and it would be inappropriate to go too late.

Riding a horse all the way out of the city, passing by a village, it was daybreak and smoke was rising. Xie Songhan saw a figure that looked vaguely familiar.

He recalled briefly and it seemed to be the proprietress of the wonton stall yesterday.

It's a ten-mile walk from here to the outside of the city, and it takes more than half an hour to walk with a load on one's back.

Although the proprietress is dressed maturely, her face looks young. Why is she so hardworking at such a young age?

Where are the men in her family? How to get a woman to come out and show her face.

Xie Songhan asked Chang An to find a safe shop as a way of thanking him for saving his life yesterday. After giving the order, he rode away.

When they reached the top of Suiyun Mountain, Xie Songhan sat face to face with his mentor and discussed all matters concerning their visit to Qinghe Town.

Talking about being poisoned yesterday and fortunately being rescued by a woman, the white-bearded old man opposite Xie Songhan paused and slowly stroked his beard.

Jun Xinhuai knew the family background of his last disciple, and he also intended to pave the way for this proud student: "This is a coincidence. The proprietress of this wonton stall is actually your junior brother's eldest sister-in-law."

Only then did Xie Songhan know that his mentor had accepted a young disciple and had the audacity to send the young disciple to Bailu Academy. One should know that the dean and his mentor were enemies who would quarrel whenever they met.

"I am old now and no longer have the energy to teach a top three scholar. Your junior brother Wen Zhao is a good man. You should take good care of him when he comes back."

Xie Songhan was the top scholar in the imperial examination. Upon hearing this, he immediately responded respectfully. He also admired Gu Zhen, a woman who became a widow at a young age and worked hard to support her uncle's studies.

On the way back, he not only asked Chang An to find a store, but also prepared a small gift as a token of his gratitude.

Gu Zhen didn't know that she was about to own a shop. Today, she got up early to set up the stall like the original owner did every day.

The original owner was a girl who could endure hardships very well and had a strong body. She didn't feel tired at all while carrying the things.

Gu Zhen plans to continue running this business. In another two months, Wen Zhao will be back, and she will have to accompany her brother-in-law to Beijing at that time.

If I change my business, not only will I have to invest a lot, but I will also have to close down after a short period of time.

In the future, when I enter the capital, I will make long-term plans. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to become a lady of honor and open a shop?

Now that Gu Zhen had a plan, she was able to work more smoothly today.

Wangcai, who works at the stall next door, is celebrating Chinese New Year today. He squats in front of the wonton stall and refuses to leave, waiting for Gu Zhenduo to throw him a few wontons to eat.

After a busy whole day, the official road finally became quiet and the stalls began to close down.

Gu Zhen rushed into the city before the city gates closed at night. When she got home, she found a man standing at the door, leading a horse and waiting for her.
