She dressed as a concubine and was targeted by the powerful brother.

Chapter 10 Chongyang
Fu Rudi was very angry.

He already disliked Zhao Hao, and now he was even more angry.But because of his identity and not wanting to make Fu Jiao afraid, he suppressed his anger.Zhao Hao got up from the ground and luckily said, "Master Fu... this is my room."

Fu Rudi looked at Fu Jiao silently, indicating something, "You also know that this is your room."

So, why is his sister here?
Fu Jiao knew that this kind of behavior was inappropriate in feudal society.

I also understand why Fu Rudi is angry.

She thought about her words in the blink of an eye, kicked Zhao Hao away, ran over, hugged Fu Rudi's stiff arm, and dragged him into her private room.

The door was bolted, leaving only the brother and sister looking at each other.

Fu Rudi remained silent and stood with his hands behind his back, as if waiting for Fu Jiao to explain.Fu Jiao was also very wise. She carefully pulled Fu Rudi's sleeve and shook it gently: "Brother, you will never imagine why I am in the prince's room."

"Ah."

Fu Rudi lowered his eyes.

The long eyelashes cast a faint shadow in the candlelight.

"Because he's afraid... he's afraid... of mice!" Fu Jiao didn't care and kept talking nonsense, "I was about to fall asleep, but then I heard him yelling and screaming for help next to him. He is the prince after all, I'm afraid He had something wrong, so he went over curiously. It turned out that it was just a mouse. I helped him drive the mouse away. Zhao Hao was very grateful to me and was kneeling on the ground to thank me. Brother, you came in. "

Fu Rudi didn't quite believe it.

Zhao Hao: Would a man be afraid of mice?

He caught a glimpse of Fu Jiao's expression from the corner of his eye, and saw her biting her lip and saying aggrievedly: "Brother, if you don't believe me, you can ask the waiters in the inn who are still awake. They should have heard Zhao Hao calling for help. In fact... I didn’t expect Zhao Hao to be so cowardly, I hate cowardly men the most.”

"It's better for me to be my brother. If there are mice, my brother won't be afraid, right?"

"I couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night. I hate Zhao Hao so much."

Fu Jiao looked up at Fu Rudi, who was a head taller than her, and yawned uncontrollably. Her eyes instantly turned red, as if she would shed tears in the next moment.

It is very late.

Fu Rudi sighed silently.

After all, he felt sorry for his sister who was tired from traveling and didn't have enough sleep. "Don't do it in the future..." He hesitated for a moment, "That's it. Go to bed early."

"Okay brother."

Fu Jiao was secretly proud of sending Fu Rudi away.

Brother Cheap is really easy to coax!

Fu Jiao gave Zhao Hao a life-saving crimson talisman and also said hello to Yan Ji. The next few days were uneventful.

Soon, the group arrived at the border of Qiongzhou and were warmly welcomed by Jiang Ping, the current magistrate of the state.

Jiang Ping has a fair complexion and does not need to be straight-looking. When he smiles, he has peach blossom eyes that look slightly feminine.He wore a dark green cotton straight jacket with no accessories on his body, and his sleeves looked breezy.

Facing Fu Rudi, he showed his frugality and integrity, "Qiongzhou is remote and not as rich as the capital city of Jiangnan. The inns in the city are full, so we can only arrange for you to stay temporarily in the backyard of the government office. The house is simple and crude. Please forgive me, Mr. Fu."

Jiang Ping led the way and got them acquainted with the Qiongzhou government office.

Bypassing the trial court, Fu Rudi glanced at the faded railings that had been in disrepair for a long time, and said calmly: "This trip is for official business, food and accommodation are not the first priority. Mr. Jiang is usually very clean and tidy, how can we be idle and lazy and greedy for pleasure? . Being under the same roof as Mr. Jiang will make it easier to conduct business and ask questions."

"What Mr. Fu said is absolutely true."

"In that case, Mr. Jiang has arranged a place for us to stay."

"Don't bother, don't bother."

Jiang Ping took them to the backyard and gave Fu Rudi the wing on the far left.Finally, he looked at Fu Jiao, who had been acting as a transparent person in the end, "Is this lady the fourth sister of Mr. Fu?"

"Yes."

Fu Jiao pushed aside Si Nan and Si Bei, revealing Yuxue's lovely and beautiful face.A flash of surprise flashed in Jiang Ping's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he only said respectfully: "If Fourth Miss doesn't mind, you can stay in this room."

Fu Jiao took a look and saw that there was only a wall between the house and Fu Rudi.

She was very satisfied, nodded and said, "As long as you are close to your brother, you can live anywhere."

This was said so innocently that Jiang Ping and others smiled in unison.

Si Nan and Si Bei were also assigned a residence, and Fu Rudi went to discuss matters with Jiang Ping intensively. Fu Jiao, who was bored, asked Si Nan and Si Bei to accompany her to wander around Qiongzhou City.

The prefecture city is not big and not as prosperous as the capital city.

It's autumn, but Qiongzhou, which is close to the sea, can't feel the cold. Instead, the wind blowing has the smell of warm and humid sea.

The things sold on the street are also very unique, including beautiful shells, colorful sea fish, shrimps and crabs of different sizes... Because of the heat, pedestrians and vendors wearing straw sandals, wearing short work clothes, and Fu Jiao, who is wearing a bright pink gauze skirt, are inevitably attracted. Passers-by looked sideways.

Fortunately, she was followed by Si Nan and Si Bei. The two sword-carrying officers were enough to frighten the people around her, so no commotion was caused.

I heard that Zhao Hao spent a lot of money to buy the best inn here. Fu Jiao found him and saw Zhao Hao sitting in the lobby, looking unhappy.

"What happened to you?"

Fu Jiao picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup of tea to soothe her throat.

When Zhao Hao saw it was her, he hurriedly complained: "Auntie, I thought I could play everywhere when I came to Qiongzhou, but I met them celebrating the Double Ninth Festival and couldn't play."

"Chongyang Festival?"

Fu Jiao was puzzled, "Why can't we play on the Double Ninth Festival? Isn't it just climbing mountains to pray for blessings and inserting dogwood trees..."

"No no no!"

Zhao Hao waved his hand quickly, "The Double Ninth Festival here is different from that over there. Around September [-]th, the locals have to offer sacrifices, but outsiders cannot leave their houses or watch their sacrifices. Otherwise," he pointed to the top of his head, "The gods will bring disaster."

Fu Jiao was happy when she heard this.

She thought of what Chen Wensheng had said and joked: "I heard that Qiongzhou believes in Shuiwei Holy Lady. Could it be that she brings disasters? Can those who bring disasters to the people be called gods?"

"Shh!"

Zhao Hao almost covered her mouth, "Auntie, please stop saying a few words. I just said this yesterday. The innkeeper and the waiter wanted to eat me. They don't allow anyone to blaspheme their God. I heard that for many years A disaster really happened before, a tsunami swallowed up countless lives, but they were all taboo about it."

It can make Zhao Hao, a man who is not afraid of anything, fearful and timid, and he doesn't know what happened to him yesterday.

There are troublemakers in the backcountry.

Fu Jiao didn't yell loudly.

It was only the beginning of September, and there was still some time before the Double Ninth Festival.She planned to go back and ask Chen Wensheng to dig deeper into the secrets of Qiongzhou.

"You do something for me."

Fu Jiao sipped her tea and said, "Find the location of Shuiwei Saint Niang Temple."

When Zhao Hao heard this, he said anxiously: "Do you want to watch them perform sacrifices? You can't go, you really can't go. The innkeeper said that the gods will bring disasters and will also immerse strangers in pig cages who peek at the sacrifices."

"Don't worry, you just do it."

"Auntie, I know you have great powers, but you are a delicate girl..." Fu Jiao gave him a "reassured" look, smiled and said, "I have help." She put down the teacup, stood up and left.

Zhao Hao was stunned and scratched his head: "Do you have a helper? Who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar and cold sharp voice whisper in his ear: "The weather is nice today. Mr. Song, it's time to die for your love."

Zhao Hao: "...!!!"
