Chapter 61: Kiss (6)
"How long have I slept?"
"One night."
"What time is it now?"
"It's just the Si hour."
"So where is General Shan now?"
"The general has gone out."
"Already out?"
"Yes, he left before dawn. The general is always busy, and he was taking care of you last night. I'm really worried that the general will not be able to handle it."
Feng Jingyi was very surprised after hearing what Bizhu said.
"Take care of me? All night long?"
"Well, at first, when the general came back with you, a lady dressed in men's clothes, everyone was very surprised. We were even more surprised when we found out that the lady we thought was a son was actually a daughter. The general never interacted with other people, and the people who came to the mansion were all colleagues. As for girls, it was said that except for the cousin who occasionally came when she was a child, this should be the first time that the young master brought a girl back, which really surprised everyone."
Feng Jingyi was of course very surprised by Bizhu's words. Should she be happy?
"Who is Miss Cousin?"
"Don't be scared when I say that. My cousin is the daughter of the current prime minister. She was also named a princess and is known as one of the five most famous beauties in the world. Not only is she beautiful, but her dancing style is also known as a 'dancing girl' and is said to be hard to come by. My cousin's mother is the sister of the general's father, so she and the general are cousins. Because the two families have always been very close, it is said that they were engaged when they were young. I don't know if it's true."
As soon as Feng Jingyi heard Bizhu say this, she knew who it was. The "engagement" that Bizhu mentioned particularly concerned her. Could it be that Shan Zhen and Yinyin had an engagement before? Then why did we hear that Yinyin had an engagement with Zhou Cheng, who was the prince at the time, since she was a child? It's not just heard, it's a well-known fact, and the same goes for the later broken engagement. So Yinyin should hate Zhou Cheng very much, and Zhou Cheng wouldn't go to such great lengths for her. What happened in between?
"I see. Well, I feel a little hungry. Is there anything to eat?"
"Ah, please wait a moment. I just brought the porridge. The general said to wait until the young lady wakes up to eat it."
Bizhu also hurried to get the porridge. Feng Jingyi changed the topic and fell into deep thought. After all, this was just the beginning. She didn't know anything yet. What kind of past was hidden under Shan Zhen's expressionless face? Feng Jingyi was very concerned.
Since Shan Zhen was working outside, Feng Jingyi was not idle. She was dressed in men's clothes last night, but after changing into women's clothes, or to be more precise, women's clothes prepared by Shan Zhen, she walked around the general's mansion without any restraint, let alone modesty. A woman, and a beautiful woman of unknown origin, walking around in the spacious general's mansion immediately became the focus of everyone's attention. Since Shan Zhen, the owner of the general's mansion, was rarely at home and always went out early and came back late, the general's mansion seemed lifeless. But now it has become lively under the influence of Feng Jingyi. It is Feng Jingyi's vitality that has driven the entire general's mansion...
Shan Zhen, who was supposed to be back very late, suddenly came back before dusk. Being perceptive, he noticed the change in the air in the mansion from the moment he stepped into the mansion. However, he did not pursue the source because he came back for something to deal with, and he and his subordinates went to calligraphy immediately after returning. Upon hearing that Shan Zhen was back, Feng Jingyi immediately couldn't wait to see her, but was told that Shan Zhen was handling government affairs and it was inconvenient to disturb her. So Feng Jingyi had to wait. While waiting, she asked the kitchen to prepare dinner early. Anyway, it was almost time for dinner, so if she was busy, there should be time for dinner, right?
As night fell in the evening, just as he finished discussing with his colleagues and was about to go to the next work location, Feng Jingyi kept him. The food that had been prepared was being heated up so that it would not get cold. When the others were taken to eat by the housekeeper, Shan Zhen was dragged away from the crowd by Feng Jingyi and taken alone to a pavilion that Feng Jingyi thought was the most distinctive in the general's mansion...
"Why did you bring me here?"
The pavilion where Feng Jingyi took Shan Zhen was was a place he was very familiar with, and Feng Jingyi's move undoubtedly aroused his curiosity.
"Of course I think the scenery here is the best."
Shan Zhen was unmoved, which was natural. This pavilion was located on the only hill in the general's mansion, and it could take in most of the general's mansion. The pavilion was also large and exquisite, and it was also a place where he and Yin Yin often came when they were young. When Shan Zhen was thinking about something, Feng Jingyi, who was standing on his left, suddenly stepped forward and gently kissed his cheek. This action undoubtedly shocked him and even made him lose his mind...
"Thank you."
After kissing Shan Zhen's face, Feng Jingyi pulled away and smiled to thank Shan Zhen. Shan Zhen had seen Feng Jingyi's smiling face many times, but this time, the smile in front of him made Shan Zhen's heart beat fast. He had never felt this way before. His actions that surprised him happened one after another. Shan Zhen used his willpower to recover from the shock. He raised his hand to touch the face that Feng Jingyi had kissed, then put his hand down and looked at Feng Jingyi...
"you--"
"You've taken such good care of me, so let's consider this as a thank you gift, or is the cheek alone not enough?"
If Shan Zhen hadn't always had a blank expression and a cold face, Feng Jingyi might have seen an expression on his face that he had never had before, an expression that was shaken by her kiss and became numb and shy...
