Chapter 4
"Xuanxuan!" During the short silence, Fuyun appeared and shouted anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

Seeing her elder brother, all the strength that was pressing on Fu Xuan's heart immediately collapsed, her eyes turned red, she stood up with Fu Yun's outstretched hand, hid beside him, she was wronged and shed tears, "Brother, someone pushed me down out of water..."

The beauty was weeping and trembling, and when she uttered a pitiful voice with grievances, many gentlemen who came with Fu Yun suddenly felt compassion, and there was a burst of restlessness in the crowd.

Sighs, or voices of indignation came from among the gentlemen, the younger sister's golden beans kept falling, like invisible sharp swords, piercing straight to the tip of Fu Yun's heart.Holding back his anger, he raised the wide sleeves of his blue shirt, wiped Fu Xuan's tears, and comforted her softly: "It's all right, brother is here."

Then he turned his head to look fixedly at Xie Zhan, and questioned in his words: "Young master Xie Liu, but do you know who did it?"

Fu Yun is a calm and gentle person, but at this moment, because of Fu Xuan, there is a rare sternness in his eyes.His brows were not sharp at all, and his sudden appearance of anger was more like a wolf dog showing off its power, guarding the cub behind him vigilantly.

Xie Zhan's heart tightened, the jerky discomfort that had just risen in his throat was even worse now.

He looked away, and first fell on Xie Yuan's face.Ling Lie's eyes swept away, and he remained silent, but everyone understood that he was asking questions.

Xie Yuan's robe was drenched, and he was shivering from the cold. Facing his cousin Shaoqing from Dali Temple, he didn't dare to lie, but tremblingly said: "Cousin, I, I, I heard someone shouting 'Help me! I just jumped. I was going to save her, but no, I didn’t expect that I drowned, and finally, I was saved by her.”

"Who?" Xie Zhan asked coldly, scanning the crowd, asking who was calling for help just now.

Looking at the cold and handsome man like a vast jade tree, the girls instantly blushed, showing a shy look.

After a long time when no one answered, Xie Zhan let out an impatient "Huh?"

This sound was extremely thin, with an indescribable sense of oppression.Xie Zhan just stood there like this, his identity, status, power, and temperament all suppressed everyone present.

The air was tightly concentrated, and the atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

After a while, under the invisible coercion, a woman in pink finally stood out from the crowd, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a servant...the servant called for help when he saw someone falling into the water."

When everyone heard the sound and looked at it, Fu Xuan was startled, she was the maidservant of Wang Ai, the daughter of the Wang family.

She knew this person, so Xie Zhan naturally knew him too.

He squinted his eyes, glanced at the girl of the Wang family, and asked Fu Xuan's side maid: "Why not you?"

"The night wind is cold, and my servant is going to fetch the girl's clothes." Linglong replied calmly, and added a little proudly: "My girl can swim, even if the servant is here, there is no need for the servant to call for help."

"Has anyone seen what happened just now?" Xie Zhan asked again.He was answered by the silence of the crowd.

It was a coincidence that Fuxuan was alone at that time, and there were no witnesses.All the people who came to the banquet were from aristocratic families, and they paid close attention to face. Even if they asked in full view, they were afraid that the other party would not confide in their hearts.Xie Zhan stayed silent for a moment, thinking, or find a wing room, bring the relevant personnel in, and continue to ask.

From Yu Fuxuan's point of view, she will fall into the water, which must have something to do with Wang Ai.But Xie Zhan's silence at this moment has a deeper meaning.

She laughed at herself in her heart, if she hadn't been able to swim, if she hadn't sent a maidservant to get the cloak in advance because she was cold, today, she would have been picked up by another gentleman, and she was soaking wet at the moment, accepting the unscrupulousness of everyone. Looking at it, the helper girl who was in a mess.

Thinking of this, she felt a chill in her heart. Usually, she was ridiculed by noble ladies because she was given a marriage with Xie Zhan. Now, she is being plotted against, and he is still watching from the sidelines, planning to take care of the Wang family. face.

As for the truth, no one cares except her.

When Xie Zhan looked over, what he saw was Fu Xuan looking at him, the sparkling light in his expectant eyes gradually dimmed.

Suddenly, his heart sank.

Just as he was about to speak, Fu Xuan's weak voice sounded: "Young Master Xie Yuan, I was the one who saved you today, didn't I?"

Xie Yuan looked at Fu Xuan without knowing why, and nodded.

"I don't know how much Mr. Xie Yuan's life is worth?" Fu Xuan asked in a low voice, before waiting for Xie Yuan's answer, she said again: "How much is your life worth, why don't you give it to the Fu family."

After speaking, everyone was shocked, gasps were heard in the crowd, and some people mocked in a low voice, "There are still people who are so addicted to money and money."

Fu Xuan's eyes were red, she tried her best to remain calm, and added to Xie Yuan: "I saved you today, if you want to make a promise to your savior, I can't bear it. Why don't you and my money, money, The fate is clear, so as not to be misunderstood by others. Mr. Xie Yuan, what do you think?"

Hearing "promise with body", the simple-minded Xie Yuan trembled even more. Even if he had 1 guts, he would not dare to promise Xie Zhan's future wife with body.He glanced at Xie Zhan with an unclear expression, and replied, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll send it off another day... no, tomorrow!"

The setting sun is more oblique, brilliant.The smoke willow shakes the shadow, and the wind dyes the spring fragrance.

The clouds in the sky are reflected more dazzlingly by the brilliant rays of the sun, like a huge red peony blooming in full bloom, full of fragrance and beauty, and its gorgeous beauty is reflected in the clear water of the lake, causing the center of the lake to rippling. .

Very much like someone.

Xie Zhan suppressed the faint smile in his eyes, looked away from the crimson embroidered flower cloak, and cast a cool glance at the embarrassed Wang girl.

Just now, before Fuxuan left, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, her eyes were not fixed on anyone, but she said to someone: "My clothes were smoked this morning, and I haven't had time to change them yet. There may still be 'scopolamine' on them Those who have suffered from me today, remember to soak their hands in tea juice as soon as possible, and it will not become serious."

Last month, there was a deliberate homicide case in Jiankang City. The murderer used the poisonous weed to poison the victim's family of six.This case caused a sensation in the whole city, and the herb of hyacinth was also said to be miraculous, and everyone knew it.Dali Temple specially issued a document to warn the public that the leaves, flowers, roots, branches, and fruits of this herb are all poisonous. The poisoned person will first have a dry mouth and hoarseness, then delirium and convulsions, and finally falls asleep. Seek medical attention.

Only the poison of the scopolamine needs to be ingested to be poisoned, how can it be dangerous to touch it?Besides, she is still wearing the clothes herself, so why hasn't she been poisoned?

It's nothing but alarmist talk and attack.Didn't see her voice just fell, the daughter of the Wang family shook her wrist, and tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Oh, it's a bit clever.

Moreover, regardless of so many people watching, she coquettishly said that she couldn't walk, Fu Yun immediately leaned over and let her climb on her back.

Really proud.

Xie Zhan closed his eyes and thought, his whole body was bathed in the sunlight, his cold white skin was enveloped by warm light, his eyebrows and eyes were tender, and his expression was rare and gentle.

The girls were already amazed by his appearance, but when they saw this scene, they stared at Mr. Fenghua obsessively, unable to extricate themselves.Except for Wang Ai who was nervous, everyone seemed to have been seduced by spirits.

It's a pity that in just a moment, Shi Qing called out "Young Master", and turned this beautiful scene into nothingness.

Xie Zhan turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and the light fell on one side of his face. In the half-light and half-darkness, he saw those deep eyes deepened, and his whole body seemed to have formed a thick layer of ice again.

"What's the matter?" Xie Zhan asked Shi Qing after walking away from the crowd.

Shi Qing glanced at his son, a little regretful that he had spoken too eagerly just now.You know, it's really rare to have such a slightly cheerful expression.Since he went to work in Dali Temple, he became more moody and angry.

Shi Qing replied: "Madam, please go over."

As shrewd as Xie Zhan, he naturally guessed Mrs. Xie's purpose.

He confirmed and asked, "Mother just came?"

Shi Qing nodded yes.I have been here, and stood behind the crowd, listening silently for a long time.

Xie Zhan knocked on the back with the folding fan placed behind him, and turned to look at Wang Ai who hurried away with the maid. She was opening and closing her mouth, as if cursing the bowed maid.With a cold snort, he led Shi Qing to Mrs. Xie's courtyard.

Well, let me spare her for a while.

 Note 1: Scopolonia làng dàng, that is, "heavenly fairy".A poisonous weed.
