Shengjing Noble

Chapter 685: One drink?

But she didn't expect that Qiao Yi was going to get married.

The other party is also the daughter of a marquis. Although she has not been conferred the title of a princess, I think her background and knowledge must be comparable to his.

Fu Muyin wanted to pretend that she didn't care, but her heart was in a mess and she couldn't help but clench the hands holding the snacks.

The crispy snack crumbs fell all over her body and stained her skirt.

She looked down and discovered it, and quickly stood up to shake it off, fearing it would be rude if seen by outsiders.

So, she stood up in a panic and pushed the chair back with her legs, but she didn't stand firmly and her foot was tripped by the chair leg, and she fell sideways.

"Uh……"

Just when Fu Muyin thought she was going to fall to the ground in a mess, a big hand suddenly grabbed her arm, pulled her hard, and pulled her into his broad and strong chest.

At that moment, the man's body temperature and breath hit her face and pressed on her head, making her feel nervous and at ease.

Fu Muyin breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pushed him away, lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you..."

Before she finished her words, she looked up and saw a stunningly handsome face.

It is completely different from Qiao Yi's gentle and elegant nobleman appearance.

It was a face with sharp angles and a very shocking appearance, which made people blush and their heart beat faster, and even their breathing became rapid at first sight.

He has deep eyebrows, a straight nose and thin lips. Although he is wearing casual clothes, it cannot hide his broad shoulders and upright figure.

He was indeed a major general... He was filled with the unique charm of a man, which made her dare not look at him for more than a second.

He is the candidate for the county horse introduced to her by the emperor's cousin, Jing Hanying!

It's been two hours and I thought he wouldn't come. Is there really some reason that delayed him?

Fu Muyin looked behind him and saw a dozen strong and capable soldiers following him. Although they were all wearing ordinary uniforms, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were the guards.

That temperament and majesty... frightened all the guests of Zuixianlou.

Fu Muyin lowered her head, feeling somewhat helpless.

If he hadn't come, she would have been able to get away with it, but unfortunately he still came.

If I had known this earlier, I would have left a cup of tea earlier, otherwise I might have missed it.

Forget it, since I'm here, I can only do it perfunctorily.

Thinking of this, Fu Muyin raised her head and forced a smile: "General Jing is late."

Jing Hanying was very tall and strong. He looked down at her with cold eyes that seemed to contain some contempt, which made her very uncomfortable.

But then I thought, maybe he treats everyone like this, so I just don't bother to care.

"Please take a seat."

Fu Muyin sat back in her original seat.

Jing Hanying walked over and sat down opposite her, then leaned back in the chair, crossed his legs, looking lazy and leisurely.

He didn't say anything, and the atmosphere was awkward, so she pointed at the wine on the table and said, "Would you like a drink? Zuixianlou's fine wine is the most famous."

After saying that, she picked up the wine jug and poured two glasses.

The man looked at her gloomily and suddenly asked, "Princess, I should have given you enough time to leave."

"What?" Fu Muyin looked at him puzzledly.

Jing Hanying continued, "You still won't leave after four hours. Do you really want to jump into the fire pit?"

She felt a little confused when she heard him say that.

However, he didn't intend to pay attention and just kept talking to himself.

"General Jing, I think this isn't the first time we've met. We also wanted to sit opposite each other like this after the last palace banquet, but there were other people around us that time."

At that time, she had not yet reached the age of marriage, and the emperor's cousin invited her to a dinner in the imperial study, and the Jing family father and son were also there.

They didn't mention anything about marriage at the dinner table, and she thought it was just an ordinary dinner.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that at that time, the emperor's cousin had already planned to bring them together.

Fu Muyin sighed, with sadness flashing in her eyes: "General, you should know that someone of my status is destined not to have an ordinary marriage."

"But in fact, I don't want to get married so early, nor do I want any princely marriage. It's just that my cousin the emperor has raised me, so I can't say anything. In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, I came here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Jing Hanying picked up the wine on the table and took a sip, with no expression on his face.

"So, you plan to marry me to solve these troubles?"

Fu Muyin hurriedly shook her head when she heard this: "That's not what I meant!"

How could he hear it like that?

Wasn't her refusal just now obvious enough?

It seems that people who practice martial arts are straightforward and cannot understand any hints. They have to be direct and straightforward.

"General Jing, what I actually mean is..."

Just as she was about to say no, he interrupted her.

"The princess seems to know me very well, and even knows my position very clearly. She keeps calling me general, which makes me seem ignorant of the rules."

"No... I just... no matter what, I will refuse my brother and will not trouble General Jing."

"It's that simple?"

"if not?"

Fu Muyin looked at him, tilted her head slightly, with a confused look on her face. She always felt that this man was even more unfathomable than her brother.

She turned and looked out the window. It was already completely dark.

"I think I should go now. Goodbye."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave, but she saw the man opposite her also stood up.

I have to say, he was really tall and could almost wrap around her.

"Let's go. I will escort the princess back to the palace."

At this time, she behaved like a guard.

But Fu Muyin had no plan to return to the palace. She had finally had the chance to eat.

"No need, my uncle's carriage is just outside the door."

"Let's go. No matter where the princess wants to go, I will escort her safely. This way I can give an explanation to the emperor."

Fu Muyin thought that if her brother asked, it would be more appropriate to do so.

So he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, then I'll trouble you, General."

After saying that, she followed him out.

……

Fu Muyin did not let Jing Hanying take her to Su Shengming's house, but instead gave him the address of the Lu family.

She didn't want people to know where she lived outside the palace.

Especially this man.

When they reached the corner, Fu Muyin said, "Just stop here."

Jing Hanying called the driver and the carriage stopped by the roadside.

Fu Muyin got out of the car and turned to the topless man in the car and said, "Thank you for the escort, General. I'll go back first."

She turned and walked towards the Lu Mansion. Jing Hanying glanced at her back, then turned around and returned to the carriage.

"Go home."

"Yes."

Fu Muyin noticed that the sound of the carriage behind her was getting farther and farther away, so she dared to look back.

After confirming that the carriage had gone far away, she breathed a sigh of relief, chose another road at the fork in the road, and went to her second uncle Su Shengming's house.

My second uncle was still in the restaurant, and only my aunt Song Huaizhi was at home.

When I saw her, she was also very warm and friendly.

"Ayin, please sit down. Auntie has made some delicious snacks for you to try."

"Thank you, aunt."

Fu Muyin likes coming here very much. She feels that her aunt’s embrace is very warm, like her mother.
