Chapter 105 Strange Things

Cheng Ying knew that Xie Chen misunderstood that coming to the teahouse was her arrangement, so she shook her head and said, "No, it's my cousin who loves to listen to books."

Xie Chen put his eyes on Fang Zhishu, and saw him shaking a fan in his hand and looking ahead with a smile on his face.

For some reason, she thought of Shen Yuzhi.

Fang Zhishu noticed the way Xie Chen looked at him, and turned to smile at her: "Miss Xie doesn't like listening to books?"

Although Xie Chen is not very interested in listening to books, he had to give Fang Zhi a letter when they met for the first time today.

"It's okay, it's just that I don't often have the opportunity to leave the house." Xie Chen replied with a slight smile.

Compared with the other two countries, Yan Zhaoguo's folk customs are considered open, but it is far from being able to walk freely in the streets like men.

Fang Zhishu seemed to be relieved when he heard it, and he glanced at Cheng Ying before he said, "That's good, Miss Xie is Ying'er's friend, and Fang is afraid that he won't treat her well."

Cheng Ying was a little embarrassed after hearing this, and pushed Fang Zhishu's arm on the table with his fingers.

After Fang Zhishu felt Cheng Ying's small movements, the smile on his face became wider and wider.

Although Xie Chen was smiling, she felt more and more strange in her heart. She couldn't see Fang Zhishu's liking for Cheng Ying at all, and what she said made Xie Chen feel that he was deliberately acting.

The famous teahouses in the capital not only have experienced storytellers or novelty books, but also delicious snacks and tea.

Halfway through their listening to the play, a servant brought exquisite snacks and tea.

This little boy looks outstanding, Xie Chen even took a second look.

When the servant came to Fang Zhishu's side with the snacks, Fang Zhishu stretched out his hand and took the plate from the servant's hand first.

The fingers of the two intertwined in an instant, and then quickly left.

Xie Chen noticed the smile in Fang Zhishu's eyes, and suddenly thought of something, the expression on his face froze and froze.

She touched Cheng Ying beside her, and asked in a low voice, "How did you and your cousin meet?"

She knew that it should be introduced by her family, but in order to make the next question natural, she could only go through a cutscene and ask again.

Cheng Ying: "My little aunt introduced him, and my mother said he was well educated and reasonable, so I agreed to see him."

Xie Chen showed understanding on his face, nodded and said, "I see that he treats you very well today."

Cheng Ying also felt the same in her heart, but she was a little embarrassed to be told by Xie Chen, her face flushed slightly.

Looking at Cheng Ying's appearance, Xie Chen knew that she was sincere towards this cousin.

"It's just that I don't know what his usual style is, do you know?" Xie Chen asked insinuatingly.

Cheng Ying didn't find it strange to hear Xie Chen's question. After all, Fang Zhishu was very handsome, refined and courteous, so there was nothing to worry about in this regard.

What's more, Cheng Ying has checked these things a long time ago, and there is nothing wrong with it, "Naturally, he has checked some. He is not one of those prodigal children in the capital. Others at his age will have one or two roommates."

Speaking of this, Cheng Ying blushed a little, lowered her head and whispered to Xie Chen: "But my cousin, let alone a housekeeper, even the people around me are all servants."

These are good things in Cheng Ying's eyes, it proves that Fang Zhishu is not close to women, and only prefers her.

But for Xie Chen, who had just noticed Fang Zhishu's extra work, there was no doubt that there was a flash of thunder above his head, and his mind was in a state of confusion.

Looking at Cheng Ying's feelings for Fang Zhishu, and knowing that she couldn't obtain evidence for this kind of thing, even if she said it outright, she would be suspected of splashing dirty water, Xie Chen shook his head.

"Golden Branch." Xie Chen turned his head and hooked Jin Zhi's hand, signaling her to get closer.

Seeing this, Jin Zhi bent down and put his ear close to Xie Chen.

After hearing what Xie Chen said to him, he nodded and left the teahouse.

At this time, the storyteller on the stage was talking about the exciting part of the climax, and the teahouse was full of clapping and applauding, and no one paid attention to Jin Zhi's departure.

Jin Zhi came back about a quarter of an hour after leaving, and nodded to Xie Chen.

After the storyteller finished telling the story, Cheng Ying still wanted to stay with Xie Chen to have dinner with them, and she wouldn't be declined by Xie Chen on the grounds that she wanted to go home earlier.

"In this case, why don't Ying'er and I send Miss Xie back home?" Fang Zhishu stood beside Cheng Ying and said, as if he was embarrassed to let her go home alone.

Cheng Ying also felt that Xie Chen was here to accompany her today, and it would be embarrassing to let her go alone, so she echoed: "Cousin is right, shall we see you off?"

"No need, it's too troublesome for my carriage to be outside." Xie Chen rejected their kindness with a smile.

Cheng Ying was not a person who would force others, so after listening to Xie Chen's words, he gave up, and only told Xie Chen to be careful on the road.

They left after watching Xie Chen get into the carriage.

It's just that the direction of the carriage is not the prime minister's mansion, but the Dali Temple.

But before reaching Dali Temple, Xie Chen stopped the carriage beside a small shop on the side of the road.

"Are you here so early?" Xie Chen saw Gu Hengyu sitting on the wooden plank prepared by the side of the shop, and asked.

Just now at the teahouse, she felt that Fang Zhishu was a little strange but she couldn't be sure, so she asked Jin Zhi to go out and send a letter to Gu Hengyu to see him in the evening.

She thought that Gu Hengyu would be late because she was busy, but she didn't expect to see Gu Hengyu when she got out of the car.

Xie Chen found it strange that Gu Hengyu was sitting in an environment that was incompatible with his demeanor.

When Gu Hengyu heard Xie Chen's question, he replied: "There's nothing wrong there." What's more, Shen Yuzhi still stayed in Dali Temple.

Xie Chen nodded, and directly stated his purpose of finding Gu Hengyu: "Does Shen Yuzhi know something about blocking Cheng Ying and Fang Zhishu?"

Before today, Xie Chen thought that it was Shen Yuzhi who understood his feelings for Cheng Ying and stopped them more, but now she feels that things are not that simple.

Gu Hengyu heard the implication of Xie Chen's words, but he did not expect Xie Chen to discover the clues in just one day.

"Tell me?" Gu Hengyu didn't answer Xie Chen's words, but asked her instead.

After hearing this, Xie Chen hesitated, frowned, and then said uncertainly: "I see...Fang Zhishu doesn't seem like he likes Cheng Ying."

"It seems like... like men?" Xie Chen's tone was full of uncertainty about his own guess.

It's not that I don't believe what I see, but that this incident is a bit unbelievable.

If Fang Zhishu is really a broken sleeve, why not marry a woman from a small family, so that he can do things by himself in the future.

Why do you focus on Cheng Ying, not to mention how difficult Cheng Ying is, the general's mansion behind her alone is enough to cause headaches.

Gu Hengyu looked at Xie Chen's doubts, his peach blossom eyes slightly bent, very attractive.

"You're right in judging people." Gu Hengyu confirmed Xie Chen's guess.

Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it, but when he thought of Cheng Ying's love for Fang Zhishu, his heart began to tense up again.
