Chapter 296
In other words, she wouldn't be able to leave the household in the near future? Sang Wan felt as if her insides were boiling. She didn't know what expression she should make and could only nod her head blankly.
Yuanyang said guiltily, "It's all this servant's fault! This servant shouldn't have mentioned this matter and made Miss sad! Miss, please don't be like this, my condolences! Otherwise, your parents won't be at ease even if they see you like this! "
Parents? Sang Wan looked up at the sky blankly. That's right, her parents wouldn't be at ease seeing her like this, right? How did she end up in such a situation where she couldn't advance or retreat?
This Old Mistress Zhao, what exactly is she trying to do?
Fengju, where is he!
"Miss Wan!" A clear and surprised male voice came from behind her. Sang Wan turned her head and saw Zhao Qi walking over with a smile. He asked with concern, "Miss Wan, why aren't you resting in your room? Have you recovered?"
Sang Wan looked at him and lowered her eyes without answering.
Yuanyang hurriedly said, "Replying to Young Marquis, Miss Wan saw the osmanthus flowers blooming upstairs and wanted to come over to admire them. This servant — —"
Zhao Qi frowned and said, "Miss Wan's complexion is so bad, don't you know how to get a palanquin? How are you going to let her walk? The osmanthus flowers aren't anything rare, can't you get someone to bring her back to her room? "
Yuanyang knew that the Young Marquis's temperament had always been extreme, so she didn't dare to answer and lowered her head without saying a word.
Sang Wan said, "Young Marquis, please don't blame Yuanyang. I was the one who insisted on coming. I've been bored for the past few days and wanted to come out for a walk. "
"Good, good!" Zhao Qi's face was full of smiles when he heard her say so. His tone subconsciously became gentler and he said carefully, "The sun doesn't have much warmth in this season, and the forest is gloomy. Don't catch a cold! If you still feel bored, I'll bring you to another part of the garden! "
Sang Wan didn't say a word. Zhao Qi couldn't help but be elated when he saw that. He glared at Yuanyang and said unhappily, "Go back and get a cloak for Miss Wan, and have someone prepare some tea and pastries!"
Yuanyang didn't dare to ask where she was going to look for him with the cloak, tea, and pastries. She just answered with a "yes" and went to bend her knees, not daring to stay for even a moment.
"Miss Wan, let's go!" Zhao Qi smiled and pointed to the front. "I remember there is a large field of autumn hibiscus and five-colored chrysanthemums. Let's go take a look!"
Sang Wan nodded and followed.
Zhao Qi saw that her eyebrows were beautiful, her skin was as white as porcelain, her facial features were small and delicate, her expression was tranquil, and her temperament was gentle. Because she had not recovered from a serious illness, her movements were rather weak. Her willow yellow robe embroidered with white magnolia made her look even more elegant. She was so delicate and soft that one could not help but want to protect her.
For a moment, Zhao Qi was a little dazed. This was the person he had been thinking about for so many years. Never in his dreams did he think that he would see her again one day. He never thought that she would live in front of him with flesh and blood. His heart was unbelievably soft. He stubbornly believed that she was the one he was thinking of. This was God's will, God's compensation to him. This time, no one could stop him.
"Young Marquis …" His gaze was so focused that Sang Wan could not bear it and looked at him unnaturally.
Zhao Qi was startled back to reality by her gaze. He coughed unnaturally and went forward to raise his hand. "Miss Wan, it's over there! Come, be careful where you step! "
"Young Marquis, you are too polite!" Sang Wan nodded and quietly took two steps back to distance herself from him.
Zhao Qi was a little disappointed. He smiled and said, "You are Wan Niang, right? I will also call you Wan Niang in the future. Young Marquis, Young Marquis makes me uncomfortable. You can just call me Zhao Qi. Otherwise, you can call me Junan. "
"Wan Niang doesn't dare!" Sang Wan said, "Young Marquis has a noble status. Wan Niang doesn't dare to be rude!"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Zhao Qi said, "Wan Niang, I don't care about this noble status. Just call me Junan! As long as I am here, you don't have to worry about anything. I will protect you! "
His words were getting more and more ridiculous! Sang Wan was stunned and looked at Zhao Qi with a puzzled expression.
Zhao Qi also noticed it and felt deeply regretful. He knew that he was too anxious and scared her. He forced a smile and said softly, "Wan Niang, don't think too much. I just want to protect you. I promise that you will be absolutely safe in this mansion. Rest assured and take care of yourself! "
"Thank you, Young Marquis!" Sang Wan smiled and nodded.
Zhao Qi saw that she insisted on calling him that and smiled helplessly. He could only let her be.
"Young Marquis and Madam are both good people. I don't know where Wan Niang's good fortune came from, to be treated so well by Young Marquis and Madam. "Sang Wan suddenly said softly as they walked.
Zhao Qi's body stiffened and he smiled faintly, "Wan Niang has a pure heart. No one can bear to not treat her well."
Sang Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she heard this. She said, "Young Marquis and I have only met today, right? How can Young Marquis be so sure that I have a pure heart? "
When Zhao Qi saw her smile, her brows relaxed and her face blossomed like flowers in spring. For a moment, his mind was shaken and his mood improved a lot. He laughed and said, "I knew it! When I say Wan Niang, you're the best, you're the best! "
While speaking, they turned around a rock garden and in front of them was a vast sea of flowers. The flowers were swaying and blooming with different colors of autumn hibiscus. The flowers were as big as the mouth of a bowl, with thousands of layers of petals. The flowers were full and beautiful, swaying under the autumn sun. A little further away, on the slightly undulating hills, there were countless chrysanthemums blooming. There were drooping lotus petals and pea green palace powder. The beautiful purple and red swept away the bleak and austere aura of autumn.
Sang Wan hadn't seen such a bright color for a long time. Her eyes lit up and her expression unconsciously became gentle.
However, looking at the sea of flowers in front of her, she couldn't help but think of the New Year. Shi Fengju had found many tender and beautiful roses for her and spread them around the entire courtyard. The room and the warm room were filled with the intoxicating fragrance of the flowers. She was really moved at that time. At that time, she was deeply in love with him and was so happy …
"What are you doing!" Seeing Zhao Qi suddenly come over, Sang Wan was startled and took a step back with her eyes wide open.
Zhao Qi didn't blame her for being surprised at all. He quickly smiled and said, "A gust of wind blew a petal and it fell on her hair. Don't move, I'll help you remove it!" He carefully came over and his fingertips brushed through her hair. The soft, smooth, silky touch made him a little infatuated. He really wanted to take the weak woman in front of him into his arms and cherish her, but he was afraid of startling her so he restrained himself.
"Look." He spread out his fingers and there was indeed a purple-red petal on the tip of his index finger. The wind blew gently and the petal fell silently from his fingertips.
"Wan Niang is so beautiful. The flowers in this garden can be considered rare and famous, but they can't even compare to Wan Niang's charm." Zhao Qi looked at her and sighed softly. He casually broke off a pink thousand layered double petal hibiscus and handed it to Sang Wan, "Wan Niang, this is for you."
Sang Wan was suddenly embarrassed. She didn't know whether to accept it or not. After thinking about it, she finally nodded and thanked him and took it.
Seeing that she liked it, Zhao Qi was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Wan Niang, do you like it? I'll pick some more for you! "
"No, no need!" Sang Wan refused. Playing with the hibiscus flower in her hand, she forced a smile and said, "Little Marquis really knows how to please girls. With such a character like Little Marquis, you must be the object of admiration of countless girls in the capital!"
Hearing her words, Zhao Qi suddenly became anxious and hurriedly said, "I haven't been back to the capital for several years. I live alone in the West Mountain Courtyard. Pleasing girls has nothing to do with me. I only want to be good to Wan Niang. "
Sang Wan was a little dumbfounded. She just wanted to test him and find out what was going on, but she didn't expect this person to speak so carelessly.
Sang Wan just pretended that she didn't hear anything and walked forward with her head down. She didn't dare to test him anymore.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhao Qi was secretly disappointed. Thinking that she didn't get angry and refuse, his spirit was lifted. He hurriedly called out "Wan Niang" and quickly followed.
"Wan Niang, are you tired? Let's go to the pavilion in front to rest! "Zhao Qi stepped forward and said gently.
Sang Wan's body hadn't recovered yet. After walking for such a long distance, she was already panting and her legs were weak. Hearing this, she nodded and walked towards the pavilion in the middle of the sea of flowers.
It just so happened that Yuanyang brought a cloak, tea, and pastries over. She hurriedly went forward and spread it out in the pavilion.
Sang Wan was about to sit down when Zhao Qi hurriedly took the cloak and folded it a few times and put it on the stone bench. Only then did he let Sang Wan sit down. He turned to Yuanyang and reprimanded, "You servant is becoming more and more unruly! Why didn't you even bring the brocade cushion? Can you sit in such a cold place? Wan Niang is still sick. Don't you know? "
"This servant knows her wrongs. Young Marquis, please forgive her!" Yuanyang didn't dare to argue. She lowered her head and honestly admitted her wrongs.
"Next time, be smarter!" Zhao Qi coldly said, "If you don't know how to serve, then go back to where you came from. I don't believe that I can't find someone in this house who knows how to serve!"
Yuanyang's head hung even lower. She didn't even dare to say the word "forgive me".
"Young Marquis, don't blame Yuanyang. She didn't know that we would come here!" Sang Wan could only say.
When Zhao Qi heard her say "we", it was naturally her and him. He was happy and the expression on his face softened. "Since Wan Niang said so, then let her go! Drink a mouthful of hot tea to quench your thirst. "Zhao Qi personally poured a cup of tea for her. He sniffed and said," This is Biluochun tea. I don't know if it suits Wan Niang's taste. If Wan Niang doesn't like it, then we can ask someone to change it! "
Sang Wan took a sip of the tea and said, "Young Marquis, you don't have to worry. I don't have that many rules."
Zhao Qi sighed softly, "Wan Niang's temperament is gentle and her temperament is also good!"
"… …" Sang Wan lowered her head and continued to drink the tea.
Zhao Qi didn't like it when the servants came close. He gave them a look and stopped them. He and Sang Wan were admiring the flowers in the pavilion and talking. Most of the time, he was the one talking while Sang Wan listened. His eyes almost never left Sang Wan. The more he looked, the more affectionate his eyes became. Sang Wan dodged left and right. It was very difficult. Not long after, she said that she was tired and wanted to go back to rest.
