When it was almost noon, Luo Qi finally got up from the table in satisfaction.
She had been exhausted for the past few days. It had been a long time since she had slept so comfortably. She stretched lazily before she opened her eyes and yawned.
Her mouth was only half open when she looked at it and her jaw almost fell off.
"Young…Young Master?" When Luo Qi woke up, she thought that she had accidentally overslept at night and that he had exposed her disguise as the Young Madam.
"You're awake? There is water here for you to wash your face. In a while, the screen book will send something in. Help me after you have eaten!”
Her mind was still blurry after she had just woken up. She looked around and saw that she was in a secret room made of large stones. There were countless rare treasures in the cabinets around her.
Ah, yes.
Yesterday, she was invited here by Ping Shu to identify the twenty golden hairpins for the Young Master. Damn, why did she fall asleep in a daze?
"Did Young Master really stay here all night and not go back at all?”Luo Qi asked worriedly.
Zhang Junyan smiled, and his expression was indescribably confusing." You came to help me. You were so tired that you fell asleep. How could I leave you behind?”
When Luo Qi heard this, her pretty face turned red. A thought suddenly flashed across her mind, so she asked anxiously,"Didn't the young master return to his room? Have you never seen Young Madam?"
Zhang Junyan's lips curled into a faint smile as he replied,""Of course!"
"This…How can this be?" Luo Qi couldn't help but cry out when she thought of how Miss Xue Fei had waited for an entire night for nothing.
"Why not?" He was deeply puzzled by her appearance.
" Uh…" Luo Qi didn't know how to explain. She could only run to the basin. Her feet were busy, but her mouth wasn't idle. She quickly said to Zhang Junyan,""Anyway, I have to help Young Master quickly so that you can go back and visit Young Madam as soon as possible.”As she spoke, Luo Qi tripped over the hem of her dress. Fortunately, she did not fall. After washing her face carelessly, she did not even have time to wipe the water droplets. She immediately returned to the table and stared at the hairpins with her eyes wide open.
Zhang Junyan smiled as he looked at this girl who would get flustered when she was anxious. She! Could it be his beloved wife? He wanted to know more, so he tried to ask,"Qi 'er, where did you come from?"
"Shh!" Luo Qi placed her index finger on her lips, telling him not to speak. Right now, she needed to focus the most, so she didn't have the time to talk to him!
Luo Qi's focused expression was very serious, as if everything in the world was invisible. The golden hairpin in front of her was the only existence, and of course, nothing could disturb her.
Zhang Junyan's face was full of deep smile lines, and the intense light emitted from his eyes was only staring at the girl in front of him who had completely forgotten herself.
"It's done!"
Luo Qi's happy cry interrupted Zhang Junyan's thoughts, causing him to rush over to take a look.
"Thank you so much." Other than gratitude and appreciation, Zhang Junyan couldn't help but ask curiously,""Qi 'er, who are you?”
"Divine?" Luo Qi tilted her head, not understanding what Young Master meant.
"I'm the young master of Treasure Gathering Lane, so I know quite a bit about pearls and jade treasures. As a servant girl, you are better than me. This makes me very surprised!”
Was this a compliment?
For some reason, Luo Qi was overjoyed to hear him praise her, but she still avoided the main topic and answered,"Girls always pay more attention to jewelry.”
Zhang Junyan wanted to ask more questions, but she quickly changed the topic." Now that the work is done, this servant should take her leave.”
Zhang Junyan couldn't help but be surprised and blurted out,""So fast?"
Luo Qi could not care less about the Young Master's mood and wanted to leave in a hurry.
It was as if there were needles pricking his heart. Even if he couldn't tell what that feeling represented, Zhang Junyan inexplicably had an urge to pull Luo Qi's wrist and ask,"Are you avoiding me?"
Luo Qi was stunned when her thoughts were exposed. She couldn't help but stop in her tracks. Then, she realized that men and women shouldn't touch each other. She was even more nervous and wanted to shake off his hand." What's wrong? Young Master, you're overthinking."
It couldn't be said that there was! Luo Qi could only weakly defend herself and shake her head.
Zhang Junyan held her hand tightly and did not relax at all. She only felt a tight pain in her wrist, as if even her bones were about to break.
"There's something I want to ask." Zhang Junyan's voice sounded with unprecedented majesty.
"What…what is it?" Luo Qi frowned in pain and asked reluctantly through gritted teeth.
"Since last night, you and I have been staying in the secret chamber. You talked a lot in your sleep…"
Hearing this, Luo Qi's eyes were filled with fear. She asked in panic,"Did I…say something?”
Zhang Junyan looked straight at her. His black pupils were deep and blurry, like a lake filled with morning fog. There were no waves. His low and slow voice was like a curse, and he spoke very calmly, making her not dare to listen but not bear to listen." You mumbled the names of several people. Xuefei, me, and you!”
Luo Qi denied it immediately." You…you heard wrong!”
"How is that possible?" Zhang Junyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said with certainty,""You tried your best to apologize to Xuefei, saying that you didn't mean to snatch me away, but that you had already fallen in love with me accidentally. You even cried and told me that you were my real wife and that you wanted me to love you!”
"Impossible, impossible!" Luo Qi was flabbergasted. She could not believe that she would actually say such treasonous words! "I'm just spouting nonsense. Young Master, don't believe me!”
A charming smile appeared on Zhang Junyan's face, making him look unfathomable." I want to verify it."”
"How?" Luo Qi 'er asked uneasily.
"Let me touch your face."
"Eh?" Luo Qi opened her mouth in shock and could not close it for a long time.
"Don't think that I want to take advantage of you. I know my wife's skin the best. If I can touch her, I'll know if it's really you!”
Zhang Junyan's explanation worried Luo Qi, but before she could refuse, his big hand had already reached over and rubbed between her pink cheek and neck.
Soft and boneless, as smooth as silk wherever she went, who else could it be but his beloved wife?
Jun Yan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't believe it. He just caressed it repeatedly, his strength varying from light to heavy.
They were both so familiar with each other's bodies that Zhang Junyan could not stop his desire for her.
Luo Qi also closed her eyes subconsciously, enjoying the love and joy that he had aroused.
This was a voice that he could not be more familiar with. Even if she turned into ashes, he dared to swear that he would still recognize her.
" No…No…" Luo Qi tried her best to push him away and stop him from continuing.
" Young Master, let me go…Don't be like this…" Luo Qi wanted to break free from him, but her entire body was drained of strength due to the raging tide of emotions.
Zhang Junyan wrapped one arm around her slender waist." You really look like my wife. This touch, this voice, this smell…" Zhang Junyan was intoxicated and greedily sucked in this fragrance that was also unforgettable to him.
The remnants of rationality fermented in Luo Qi's mind. She gritted her teeth and said sadly,"But…I'm not your wife at all! How could Young Master confuse the two of us?”
Hearing this, Zhang Junyan slowly raised his head from her arms and looked at Luo Qi's tear-stained face. A wave of heart-wrenching pain made him stop his rude touch on her body. He slightly pulled away from her and Zhang Junyan held her small face as he coaxed her in a low voice," Don't say that I'm wrong. I'm not afraid to tell you that every night is the happiest time of my day because I can hug my newlywed wife, indulge in her gentleness, and taste her sweetness. Although I can't see her face, I know everything about her like the back of my hand, and I love her deeply…"
This confession of love made Luo Qi lower his neck and blush. His burning gaze locked onto the shy person in front of him, as if he wanted to peek at something.
"But…I'm clearly not! Miss Xuefei is Hongjing Villa's Eldest Miss, and I'm just a little girl. The two of us are worlds apart. She's her, and I'm me!”
There was only one sentence that could describe Luo Qi's situation! The dead duck was stubborn.
Zhang Junyan's brows furrowed, and he looked displeased." Why are you still trying to hide it from me now? I was quite confident in my judgment. Don't think that you can get rid of me with just a few words.”
In order not to expose the matter and harm Fang Xuefei's family, Luo Qi could only put on a serious face and provoke Zhang Junyan,""So it turns out that Young Master wants me, this girl, so he deliberately framed me and took the opportunity to take advantage of me?”
Hearing her say this, Zhang Junyan was about to faint from anger. He grabbed Luo Qi's wrist with all his might and said angrily,"What did you say?"
He wanted her! There was no need to go through so much trouble. As long as he was willing, how could she, the dowry girl, say no? However, when he thought that she was his most beloved wife, not only was she not touched, she even accused him of framing her! What an insulting brat!
" Ah…" Luo Qi cried out in pain, almost shedding tears.
Zhang Junyan had a flash of inspiration. He looked at her with a dangerous gaze." There is something that can prove whether you are my wife or not."”
Huh? There was more? Luo Qi braced herself and asked hesitantly,""What…what is it?"
" I once gave Xuefei a gift…"
The jade hairpin, ah, no, it was the Love Locking Ring. Luo Qi, who suddenly thought of this, could not help but curse in her heart. That stupid ring would really kill her!
Fortunately, her clothes were all by her feet, and the Love Locking Bracelet was also covered. Luo Qi retracted her right foot, and thousands of question marks circled in her heart.
What should he do? What should he do?
Should he just confess and beg for mercy?
But…no!
Zhang Junyan declared with full confidence,""That thing is the Love Locking Ring. Once it's on your foot, it's not easy to take it off. I only need to look at your foot to know the identity of the woman who slept with me that night! Was it you?"
Luo Qi was so scared that her face turned pale, and her body couldn't help but tremble. Zhang Junyan squatted down and wanted to pull open the clothes gathered at her feet. In the blink of an eye, she also squatted down to protect herself and quickly put on her clothes.
"Let me see." Zhang Junyan, who had always been gentle and refined, was anxious and pulled at a woman.
Luo Qi ran towards the exit. Zhang Junyan followed closely behind, grabbing her slender waist and blocking her path.
"Why should I show it to you?" Luo Qi's tone was fierce and angry. Now that things had come to this, she did not hesitate to fight him head-on.
"Hmph, if you didn't have a guilty conscience, why not lend it to me?”Zhang Junyan reached out to tug at her embroidered dress, while Luo Qi tightened her clothes. When she had the time, she even grabbed and hit Young Master.
"You are despicable, using violence to force the maid to submit.”
"I'm a pervert! Just let me see if there's a love locking ring on your feet.”Zhang Junyan pressed her against the wall and held her in his arms. Such a success made his handsome eyebrows rise proudly.
"Who has that damn thing?" Luo Qi shouted in exasperation, but she could not struggle no matter what.
Bending her right leg, Zhang Junyan was eager to find out." I'll know if there's one!”
"Young Master is so rude. Do you know that you have to take responsibility? Could it be that Young Master is willing to take me as a concubine?" Luo Qi planned to threaten him at this critical moment, hoping that he would stop.
"I have already molested your body just now. Anyway, I have to take responsibility.”
Zhang Junyan's hand was already touching her calf. Luo Qi only felt the world spin, afraid that her lie would be exposed! In an instant, the door of the stone room was suddenly pushed open, revealing a crack.
Ping Shu, who was holding the food plate, was frightened by the unbearable scene in front of her. Her hands went soft, and everything poured down.
" You... you..." Ping Shu stammered, unable to even ask properly.
Shame and surprise overwhelmed them, and they both pushed each other away at the same time, keeping three steps away.
A wave of embarrassment made Luo Qi wish that there was a hole for her to hide in. She stomped angrily, turned around, and covered her face.
"Young Master, I'm sorry. I didn't know you guys…" Ping Shu stammered awkwardly.
Zhang Junyan's eyes lit up, looking like he wanted to kill her.
"I just wanted to bring you breakfast wholeheartedly, but I didn't expect to ruin your good thing.”
"Still talking!" Zhang Junyan clenched his fists unhappily and said resentfully,"Just a little more and I would have succeeded!”
Ping Shu did not dare to make a sound and just stood there foolishly.
Forget it, there was no need to blame the screen book. Zhang Junyan sighed slightly. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future!
In the morning light, Fang Xuefei's expression was particularly dark and hard to read.
"Young Madam." Luo Qi bowed slightly, not daring to look her in the eye due to her guilty conscience.
Fang Xuefei's red lips parted slightly as she asked with concern,""Where did you go last night? Juanjuan couldn't find you and was anxious to report to me!”
Luo Qi was about to answer truthfully when she was suddenly stunned.
No, no way! The Young Mistress had spent a lot of effort to consummate the marriage with the Young Master. If the Young Mistress knew that the Young Master had been staying in the secret chamber with her, she would definitely be furious. Moreover, she did not quite understand that she could win the Young Master's favor. If this happened, things would be even more difficult to deal with.
Fang Xuefei's deep voice suddenly rang out. There was no emotion in it." What are you thinking about? Answer me!"
"That's right! Don't make us worry. Hurry up and explain the matter clearly.”Juanjuan's eyes hid hope as she urged.
In any case, only three people knew about this matter, and no one would tell anyone. Thinking of this, Luo Qi took a deep breath and said,"I was too tired from work yesterday. I was wiping the furniture in the east wing and accidentally fell asleep. I even slept until noon today!”
Juanjuan was speechless, and there was only sadness in her eyes.
Fang Xuefei said darkly,""Is that so?"
"Yes." Luo Qi nodded guiltily.
"Then do you want to ask me how I was with Junyan yesterday?”
Upon hearing Fang Xuefei's words, Luo Qi felt her entire body stiffen and did not dare to say a word.
" Miss..." Juan Juan stopped her.
However, Fang Xuefei did not stop. Her voice was cold and sharp as she continued to threaten Luo Qi." We've consummated our marriage and are officially husband and wife. Junyan treats me very well. We have sex and are very happy…"
Luo Qi almost covered her ears. She didn't understand. She really didn't understand why Miss would deliberately lie to her! Young Master had never left the secret chamber! Wasn't it?
She stood on the spot, tears falling from her eyes.
After hurting Qi 'er, Fang Xuefei pursed her lips and covered the wound in her heart that was also bleeding.
She wiped away her coldness and said softly,"I have a job for you. Bring a bucket to the well near the Pavilion of Delight and draw a bucket of water for me.”
She nodded and turned around. Luo Qi's delicate body left their sight just like that.
"Miss, is this really okay?" Juanjuan's voice choked up as she asked uneasily.
"I don't want to either! If it wasn't for her standing between Jun Yan and me, why would I be so cruel? After all, we used to be good sisters who had a harmonious relationship!”Fang Xuefei sighed softly." Juanjuan, hurry up and follow!”
It was precisely because the three of them had such a good relationship that it was so heartbreaking after it was destroyed.
Luo Qi wiped her tears as she walked, heartbroken.
He slowly walked to the Pavilion of Fragrance, and there was no one around. The Yingxi Villa occupied a large area, so it was inevitable that there would be some corners that very few people would pass through, and the Pavilion of Fragrance was one of them.
This area was covered with lush vegetation. Luo Qi struggled to grab the big wooden barrel with both hands and carefully stepped on the path that was almost submerged by the fragrant grass.
Luo Qi didn't have time to think about why the young miss specifically wanted the well water here. She raised her wrist and wiped the sweat that had appeared on her forehead. At the end of the path, where the fresh grass gathered, there was a dark gray bulge. She couldn't help but say,"It's over there."
Opening the heavy manhole cover, Luo Qi couldn't help but lean down to take a look. It was dark below. Who knew if there was water?
Who cares, just do as Miss says.
She grabbed the half-corroded shaft and rope, tied the bucket tightly, and threw it down. After fishing for a while, she pulled the bucket with all her might.
The bucket was already in the air, and she couldn't help but want to see how it was holding water. She held the well with both hands, stood on her tiptoes, and stretched her neck to reach half of her body into the well.
I haven't even seen it clearly! Suddenly, she felt someone approaching her and pushing her back forcefully. She lost her balance and fell into the well.
"Ah! Ah!" Her scream was finally drowned out by the darkness.
Juanjuan frantically pulled down the wooden barrel and covered it with a lid. She only ran away as if she was running for her life after everything had returned to its original state.
Qi 'er was gone!
When this news spread in the Yingxi Manor, everyone in the manor followed the young master's orders and tried their best to find a trace of the girl.
From dawn to dusk, until the lights were lit, everyone was still looking around the huge manor.
Batches of people who were searching kept coming back to report to Zhang Junyan, but the answer was " no ", which annoyed him.
"Young Master!"
"How is it?" Zhang Junyan asked anxiously.
"I've already checked the west courtyard, but there's still no news of Miss Qi 'er.”
Zhang Junyan frowned deeply and said unhappily,"Qi 'er is a weak woman. Since the gatekeeper didn't see her leave the manor, she should still be in the manor.”
Investigate again?
They had already checked the West Court three or four times, and the entire Yingxi Manor was about to be overturned. However, as subordinates, they had no room for negotiation. They could only grit their teeth and reply,"Yes, sir!"
It was just a little girl who had gone missing, but the entire Yingxi Manor was in an uproar. There was no peace for a moment. Looking at her haggard son, Lu Qianyun couldn't help but say with heartache,"Junyan, I'm looking for someone! He could just look for it tomorrow. Why make things so big? Look, everyone is tired. Let the servants rest!”
Zhang Junyan stared at the flickering fire outside and pondered for a moment before saying,""Let's search again. If there's really nothing, then forget it.”
From his determined eyes, Zhang Jingheng and Lu Qianyun knew that he wouldn't give up.
"He's gone. What do you want?”Zhang Jingheng looked at his dejected son and couldn't help but roar,""Besides, she's just an unimportant little girl. How is she worth your effort? Tell me! What is it for?"
Zhang Junyan turned around and saw Lu Qianyun pulling Zhang Jingheng's sleeve to stop him from continuing.
"Alright, our son is already so old. He knows his limits. Don't shout at him for no reason!”
"Humph, you're in this state because of an unrelated woman. You're really my precious son.”
"Can you stop talking?" Lu Qianyun was extremely anxious and scolded her husband.
Zhang Junyan looked straight at his father, his expression calm and firm." Qi 'er is not an irrelevant woman. I must find her. As long as she appears, I will definitely not let her leave!”
Zhang Jingheng, who was rarely contradicted by Zhang Junyan, only felt so angry that he saw stars. He scolded angrily,"What kind of treasonous words are you saying! How dare he be so arrogant! Don't forget, you've only been married for five days and your wife is the daughter of Hongjing Villa, Fang Xuefei!”
At this time, Lu Qianyun was also crying with red eyes." Yes! Jun Yan, what should I do if you teach Xuefei like this?”
Xuefei?
That's right! After knowing that Qi 'er had gone missing, Zhang Junyan had accidentally forgotten about his wife. He did not do it on purpose, but his mind could not help but be filled with Qi' er's shadow. He could not tolerate anyone else at all.
Realizing that it was unfair to Xuefei, his heart became even more chaotic. He turned around and walked out of the hall. At this moment, he really needed to be alone.
"If I can't find her, I definitely won't give up!”
There were no ups and downs, only deep sorrow in his words. Zhang Junyan's tall figure disappeared outside the door, disappearing into the dark sky.
Qi 'er's gentle image circled in his mind, and it was abnormally clear. Zhang Junyan only felt a dull pain in his chest. The piercing pain continued to expand from his heart, straight to his limbs and bones.
He simply couldn't imagine how he would calm the pain in his heart if he couldn't find Qi 'er! No, he couldn't. He couldn't lose her!
Zhang Junyan was in no mood to investigate where his feelings for her came from. He paced back and forth in the garden in a hurry and muttered to himself in pain,"Qi 'er, Qi' er, where are you? Why are you hiding? Are you hiding from me? Are you really hiding from me?"
When he thought about how he was in the secret room and how he was in a hurry to see the situation of the Love Locking Ring, Zhang Junyan could not help but feel deep regret!
"Qi 'er, don't hide from me. You should be my real wife!”Zhang Junyan pressed his slender fingers against his forehead in frustration, his expression extremely painful.
He just wanted to find out the truth and give her a status. He never wanted to hurt her! Why did she go missing because of this?
Did she not love him?
Then why did she sleep with him?
As for Xuefei, his first wife, why did she want to marry him and drag in another person?
What was going on?
Zhang Junyan's footsteps were like flying. In a flash, he had already arrived at the bedroom door. He did not even think about it and suddenly pushed open the door with a sharp force.
The two women in the room raised their heads to look at him, their faces full of surprise.
"Young Master." Juan Juan called out respectfully.
"Get down!"
"Huh?" Juan Juan saw the young master's harsh words and could not help but be frightened.
"I told you to get down!" Zhang Junyan's expression did not lower, it was still unusually cold.
Juanjuan didn't dare to make a sound and quickly lowered her head and walked away uneasily.
From the beginning to the end, Fang Xuefei had been watching everything from the sidelines because she knew that this moment was finally coming.
"Fang Xuefei!" Zhang Junyan's pitch-black eyes looked into the two pools of autumn water.
"That's right! I'm Fang Xuefei!" The corners of her lips curled up slightly as if she was asking him," Why, are you suspecting me?
"Are you really my wife, Fang Xuefei?”Zhang Junyan stared at her with questioning eyes, trying to find some clues.
However, this scene had played out in Fang Xuefei's mind thousands of times, just as she had imagined. She smiled and answered him calmly and generously,""Of course, my dear husband.”
"Is there anything to prove it?"
"Proof?" Fang Xuefei covered her mouth and laughed."Husband, you can invite my parents to ask if I am their daughter.”
This was a stupid method. Zhang Junyan would not be stupid enough to do it!
Zhang Junyan finally asked the question that made him most suspicious and also the most difficult to ask." Then…the person who sleeps with me every night is you?”
The air froze unknowingly for a few seconds before it finally melted into Fang Xuefei's familiar smile.
"Husband, your thoughts are really ridiculous! Fang Xuefei is me, I'm the one who married you, and I'm the one who performed the Duke of Zhou's ceremony with you. What's there to doubt?”
"Yes, sir! What?" Zhang Junyan raised one of his eyebrows, indicating his disbelief.
"You don't believe me?" An undeniable guilt slowly rose in Fang Xuefei's heart.
"Unless you can convince me!"
Zhang Junyan's certainty and confidence made her heart beat faster, and her palms were sweating.
"Why?" There was an imperceptible tremble in her voice.
"Although men always joke around, and all women are the same as long as the lights are dimmed and clothes are taken off, whether you believe it or not, every woman is very different.”Zhang Junyan's eyes were calm and confident as he said something that shocked Fang Xuefei,""Even if I can't see her face clearly, I still have the ability to tell who is the one who is close to me and who is rubbing against me.”
There was no reason, only because they had once been so close! There was no distance!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Junyan leaned forward and grabbed Fang Xuefei's arm.
Although she didn't scream, she was actually so scared that tears were flowing out of the corners of her eyes. "No!" Fang Xuefei blurted out this sentence in surprise, sounding extremely sad.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Junyan's eagle-like eyes stared at her helpless face.
Afraid that Zhang Junyan would notice that something was wrong with her, Fang Xuefei quickly shook her head and choked,"No, no…"
Zhang Junyan lifted her pink chin with his finger and said slowly,""If you didn't, then you didn't. Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid that I'll touch you?"
"Why should I be afraid? I'm already used to it." Fang Xuefei's lips trembled as she tried to force herself to speak.
"In that case, then! I'm going to kiss you!" Zhang Junyan deliberately raised his voice to deepen Fang Xuefei's nervousness.
Fang Xuefei really wanted to shout," No! However, she thought about it. Wouldn't this prove that she wasn't his wife? It seemed that if he wanted to get Jun Yan, he could only endure this first.
"Good!" There was no joy in Fang Xuefei's voice, only bitterness.
Zhang Junyan smiled and leaned over to kiss her.
The moment his lips touched Fang Xuefei's face, Zhang Junyan felt that something was wrong.
In his impression," Xue Fei "'s skin should be soft and fragile. Although her skin was also very soft at this moment, it lacked a sense of smoothness.
Zhang Junyan pressed his lips against hers.
What frightened Fang Xuefei the most was that she and Jun Yan's fiery body were leaning against each other. His body was strong and strong, pressing down on her until she almost could not breathe.
Zhang Junyan's body and kisses made her think of that man and all the humiliation. It didn't take long for tears to cover her face like strings of pearls.
In fact, not only did Fang Xuefei not react well, Zhang Junyan's kiss also became more and more stagnant. Obviously, this was not someone he was familiar with!
Xue Fei, who was in his arms, not only trembled, but she also kept sobbing. This made him more hesitant and uneasy as he kissed her.
Just as he was about to stop, Fang Xuefei finally exploded and pushed him away. She curled up in the corner of the bed, far away from Zhang Junyan.
This was really a painful blow to a man's self-esteem! But seeing that she was like a frightened little animal, Zhang Junyan couldn't open his mouth to force her to give a reason. He could only ask,"You should remember which part of you I like the most! Tell me."
Fang Xuefei widened her helpless eyes and shook her head vigorously.
"Why are you shaking your head?" Zhang Junyan was filled with anger. He reached out and grabbed her thin wrist." We're together every night. You should know that I'm especially obsessed with a certain part of your body.”
"Eh?" Fang Xuefei was stunned by this question. She had never heard Qi 'er mention this before!
"Say it!" Zhang Junyan urged, his eyes filled with anxiety. He believed that Xue Fei's answer could help him confirm everything.
" Yes…" Fang Xuefei stammered. She gritted her teeth and finally made up her mind to answer him,""The neck."
An unfathomable smile appeared on Zhang Junyan's lips. He muttered and repeated what she said,""Your neck?"
Even though her scalp was numb, Fang Xuefei still forced herself to bear it." You said that it's thin and white, and very beautiful.”As she said this, Fang Xuefei's gaze involuntarily turned to Zhang Junyan, with a hint of inquiry.
"Yes, your neck is indeed very beautiful.”Zhang Junyan agreed. He let go of her hand, put on his clothes, and walked out the door.
After searching like crazy for a few days, he still could not find any trace of Luo Qi.
The feeling of losing Luo Qi was too unbearable. Zhang Junyan would rather not eat, drink, or sleep at night than waste any time looking for his lover. For this reason, he suffered from his father's scolding and even saw his mother cry for him, but Zhang Junyan still couldn't help but look for Qi 'er. In just two days, he had become haggard and thinner.
Distraught, he quickly walked down the corridor. Just as he was about to send someone to the nearby town to ask, he saw a sneaky figure with his sharp eyes.
Juanjuan's body was half-bent, and her ears were pressed tightly against something. It looked like she was trying her best to hear something. Zhang Junyan focused his eyes and realized that the thing hidden in the grass was actually a well.
After a while, there was still no movement in the well. Juanjuan stood up and put her hands together."I didn't mean to harm you. Please don't come looking for me for revenge. Please don't go looking for Miss. We had no choice. I'm sorry…"
After hurriedly bowing a few more times, Juanjuan raised her head and looked around. After making sure that no one saw her, she quickly left.
She had just left when Zhang Junyan's front foot had already stepped on her. He held back his disordered breathing. As he forcefully opened the manhole cover, he wished that he had guessed wrong!
God, please don't let Qi 'er fall into this well. Not to mention that the well was bottomless, if she fell in, she would be seriously injured even if she didn't die. Moreover, she had been locked up for two days and two nights, so the chances of survival were extremely slim.
Zhang Junyan had just made up his mind to enter the well to investigate when the screen book came looking for him.
"Young Master, so you're here. Master and Madam want to see you!”
Without waiting for the screen book to approach, Zhang Junyan jumped into the well without saying a word.
"Ah!"
Screams filled the entire Yingxi Manor. Before long, the news of the young master jumping into the well to die for love had spread. It even alarmed the master, madam, young madam, and many servants.
In the well! After Zhang Junyan jumped down, he immediately discovered that the bottom of the well was wet and soft soil. After careful groping, he touched a body in the darkness.
"Qi 'er, is that you?" Zhang Junyan hurriedly hugged her tightly and asked gently. When he found that she was silent, he nervously checked her breathing.
Fortunately, she was only unconscious.
Jun Yan was so happy that he hugged her tightly. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, he removed the shoes and socks on her right foot and easily touched the golden ring on her ankle.
Joy filled his chest. Zhang Junyan happily kissed her cheek several times and kept saying,"I knew it was you!"
In the well, Zhang Junyan hugged Luo Qi in satisfaction, so content that he wished that time could stop here. Unfortunately, the world outside the well had always been chaotic, and it was getting more and more chaotic. First, someone kept calling him "Young Master, Young Master", and gradually, it was mixed with a little crying.
In order to calm down all of this, Zhang Junyan reluctantly picked up her delicate and weak body. The large shock made Luo Qi's starry eyes open slightly. The pitch-black well did not hinder her ability to recognize him at all. His chest, his smell, all of them made her so familiar that she only thought of one person. The weak her murmured,"Jun…Jun Yan."
"I'm here to save you. Don't worry, I'll be by your side day and night in the future. I won't let anyone have the chance to hurt you again.”
Zhang Junyan's deep voice was filled with love. When Luo Qi heard it, she felt relieved. Unfortunately, her head was as heavy as lead now, so she couldn't think too much about it. Hence, she responded with a soft " oh " and then fell asleep in his arms.
Zhang Junyan hugged her tightly and flew out of the well.
As soon as he came out of the well, he met his father's worried and stern gaze. Zhang Junyan did not have time to explain. The most important thing now was to settle Luo Qi down! Juanjuan stepped forward to help Luo Qi. Zhang Junyan said sternly,"Wait, she can just give it to the screen book.”
Zhang Junyan naturally guessed that it was Xuefei's master and servant who harmed Qi 'er. He had not even settled this score! If he left Qi 'er in their care, the consequences would be even worse.
Hearing this, Ping Shu immediately helped Qi 'er up. Zhang Junyan was still worried and carefully instructed,""Take good care of her. I want her to live.”
He didn't have time to care about Juanjuan, who was still stunned at the side, and immediately replied,"Yes, Young Master, please rest assured. With my careful care, I guarantee that she will be alive and kicking again in less than three days.”
After he had settled all the things that worried him the most, Zhang Junyan freed up his hands and hugged Lu Qianyun, who was already sobbing." Mother, I'm fine. I just went to save Qi 'er."”
"You brat, you don't have to take the risk to save someone! There are so many servants in the manor, why do you have to make us worry like this? We only have one precious son, you! If anything happens, how are your father and I going to explain to the ancestors of the Zhang family?”Lu Qianyun looked at him and gritted her teeth in anger. She even cried and said,"
"Look, aren't I fine?”Zhang Junyan was still laughing, even winking at his mother to tease her.
"None of them are serious." Lu Qianyun spat at him and pouted at him." Go and see your father!" He's about to go crazy with anger."
Zhang Jingheng, who had been standing silently at the side, was now furious.
He had never thought that his son, whom he had personally raised, would lose his soul over a woman, making the two elders worry! He had originally hoped that he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of managing Yingxi Manor, but he was so useless and only had his thoughts on a woman. It seemed that his years of painstaking upbringing had all been in vain.
"Father." Zhang Junyan called out to him.
"No need to call me!" Zhang Jingheng shouted," Look at what you're doing now! Bewitched by beauty, he didn't care about anything! I, Zhang Jingheng, don't have such a useless son like you.”
With a wave of his sleeve, Zhang Jingheng turned around and left in a huff.
Fang Xuefei glanced coldly at Zhang Junyan and said sarcastically to Juan Juan,""Let's go! Don't stand here, lest you get in the way of your husband's important matters.”
Just as Zhang Junyan was about to stop Fang Xuefei, Lu Qianyun quickly pulled his sleeve and asked,""Junyan, what's wrong? You and Xuefei have only been married for five days. Aren't you still in love?”
Looking at Fang Xuefei's white back as she left, Zhang Junyan's eyes were fixed on her, and his words were shocking! "She's not my wife at all. I love someone else.”
These words were clear and powerful. Lu Qianyun couldn't help but shout,""What did you say?"
The white shadow that was walking away also heard his words and trembled. The blow was so great, and this action was so small. Everything was clearly noticed by Zhang Junyan.#
