Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 45 I'm Not Who You Expected
Before the words were finished, the door creaked and was pushed open.

"Didn't that bastard come in and tell you not to come in?" Du Yuanzhi said sharply.

The maid beside Du Yuanzhi even rushed out of the room, ready to scold her.

Seeing the two master and servant standing at the door, the maid was frightened silly.

"Auntie...Auntie...quick, come out..." the servant girl trembled.

Du Yuanzhi walked out angrily, "Whoever it is, just kick him out..."

bang-

Before she could finish speaking, a mutton fat jade bracelet in her hand came out and fell on the mat, breaking in two.

"You, you, you... are people or ghosts... I, I, I..." Du Yuanzhi raised her hand to caress the screen, her expression ugly.

"Why am I a ghost?" Shen Xinniang stepped forward slowly, "You think——I'm dead? Because you saw that bloody coat, didn't you?"

Du Yuanzhi's eyes were full of panic, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

"I'm not dead, and the blood doesn't belong to me. The person you found to kill me is dead!" Shen Xinniang said calmly, word by word.

Du Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, gasping for breath, but she quickly calmed herself down, "What are you talking about? I don't understand? What is dead or not? Why didn't you come back last night? I...I Let's see if you need to clean up here, you're back, let's see for yourself!"

Shen Xinniang looked at her with dark eyes, and there was no emotion on her beautiful cheeks.

Du Yuanzhi could hear his heartbeat rumbling in his chest, as if it was about to jump out of his voice, but he kept calm on his face and stepped forward.

"You don't know, why are you so panicked? Why do you think I'm dead? You want me to die, don't you?" Shen Xinniang asked calmly, there seemed to be a slight smile in her voice, but there was no smile on her face , "Unfortunately, I came back alive, are you afraid?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why would I want you to die! You think too much!" Du Yuanzhi had already walked to the door.

Shen Xinniang looked at the mutton fat jade bracelet that fell to the ground and broke in two, "It doesn't matter what you say, what I think is the most important thing. You tried to plot my life, but it didn't work. When I come back, I will Take it away with your own hands, what you cherish the most."

When Du Yuanzhi heard this, her lifted foot was caught by the threshold, and she almost fell to the ground.

The servant girl beside her hastily supported her.

Du Yuanzhi looked back and panicked, "I don't know what you're talking about!"

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Dan Xin frowned and spat, "Shameless! I don't want to tell you about my wife, but I still want her things! Hmph!"

"Clean up, change the mats, scrub the table and food table, her makeup smell is too strong." Shen Xinniang said disgusted.

"Yes!" Danxin replied, but was a little suspicious for a moment, "Will my lady still live in Feng's house?"

Shen Xinniang glanced at her, but didn't speak.

"Feng Qilang and Li." Sitting in the upper seat, King Qi said calmly without raising his eyes.

"Yes, yes!" Lord Feng responded repeatedly.

Feng Qilang clenched his fists in his sleeves.

He wanted to divorce his wife, but not under the coercion of others, but on his own initiative.

What is the difference between being coerced and divorced, and being robbed of your wife?
Seeing his father bowing his knees, Feng Qilang gritted his teeth in his heart, but he could only bear it on his face.

King Qi lowered his eyes, "I thought that although she couldn't live comfortably in Feng's house, at least she was peaceful and safe. It seems that she can't even do this."

Is this to blame them for the incompetence of the Feng family?

Master Feng thought about what Prince Qi said.

"Within three days, I don't want to wait any longer." King Qi got up and said.

Feng Qilang suddenly straightened his upper body and said: "I divorce her, will the prince marry her?"

When King Qi heard this, his cold eyes turned to Feng Qilang.

Master Feng quickly winked at Feng Qilang, telling him not to provoke King Qi, can Prince Qi be provoked by their family?

King Qi sneered, "Why, is Feng Nu concerned about my private affairs?"

"Don't dare, I don't dare, I have nothing to say! Please calm down, my lord!" Lord Feng said hastily.

King Qi sneered, "Also, it's not you who divorced your wife, but a divorce! Don't make a mistake!"

Feng Qilang's face was extremely ugly, and he wanted to argue with King Qi with simmering anger, but his father was holding on to the hem of his clothes tightly, implying that the meaning of warning was too obvious.

King Qi raised his foot and left.

In the small courtyard in the northwest corner of Feng's house, there was a sycamore tree planted. It was unknown how many years old, and it was difficult for two people to embrace the trunk underneath.

The sycamore leaves on the book are slightly yellowed, and when the wind blows, a few pieces will fall down.

Shen Xinniang was standing under the tree, waiting for her maid to tidy up the upper room so that she could go back to rest.

She raised her face, looking at the scenery where the leaves of the sycamore tree cut the sunlight.

Little did he know that he had become the most beautiful scenery in the eyes of others.

King Qi stood outside the small courtyard, stopping to look at the girl in pure white clothes, with long black hair scattered behind her, almost waist-length.

Looking up at the huge sycamore tree with her clean and white face, the sliver of sunlight fell on her face, and the tips of her hair were surrounded by the shimmering light, like a fairy who fell into the world by mistake.

"My lord, in the palace..."

King Qi's entourage rushed over, and when he opened his mouth, he saw his companion gesturing to him again and again, telling him to keep quiet.

But he found out too late.

As soon as a sentence came out, the girl under the tree turned around and saw King Qi.

King Qi cast a cold glance at his subordinates, who wanted to dig a hole to bury him, only wishing that he never showed up.

"King Qi." Shen Xiniang said blissfully.

King Qi stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

"What are you looking at?" King Qi asked slowly.

The sun fell between the two of them, as if it was so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

"Look at the tree." Shen Xinniang pointed to the sycamore tree and said, "There are annual rings hidden inside the tree, which record the past. Where is that person?"

King Qi's deep eyes fell on her, "A person's past is hidden in his heart."

"What about me?" Shen Xinniang asked, looking up at him.

In the dark eyes is the tall reflection of King Qi.

In an instant, he felt a little distressed, "Your past..."

"I was dumb and stupid in the past, and a sudden disaster destined me to have no memories. Without memories, there would be no past. Without the past, would I still have the heart?" Shen Xinniang said slowly.

She has always been calm and expressionless, why is she feeling so emotional today?
King Qi looked at her in surprise.

"You asked the Feng family to divorce their wife, right?" Shen Xiniang asked suddenly.

Her thinking jumped too fast, King Qi nodded.

"Who do you think I am?" Shen Xinniang suddenly took a step closer to him and asked him with her face raised.

His focused eyes seem to be looking at the sycamore tree that cuts the sunlight.

King Qi frowned.

"Do you think of me as someone you met in your past life? You have to know that I have no past, and I am not the person you expected." Shen Xinniang said calmly.

It turns out that she understands, she understands everything!
King Qi stared into her dark eyes, and said slowly, "I know, you are not her. There is no one else who can replace her."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "It's good that you know."

"Give the coachman money, and bring back the woman in the bloody clothes. I'll have someone follow me. Do you want to see me?" King Qi turned to ask.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, "Evidence is not important to me."

King Qi smiled, "Okay, I'll go back to the palace first, and I have a gift for you when we meet next time."

Shen Xinniang asked him, "When will we meet next time?"

"Are you expressing your expectation?" King Qi leaned over, approaching her face and asked, with the warm smell of ambergris rushing towards her face.

His eyebrows were as heavy as ink, straight as a sword, and his starry eyes were shining brightly.

Shen Xinniang looked at this handsome face that was less than three inches away from her, "I'm looking forward to a gift."

King Qi smiled lightly and straightened up, "Okay, I'll take it, it means the same thing."

King Qi left.

Shen Xinniang's return made the Feng family, who had been busy all day and night, temporarily calm down.

But the Shen family was not peaceful at this time.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the three days. What if the little lady really comes to redeem Hong Fei?" Zhu said with a frown.

"Why don't you... tell Daddy?" Shen Wuniang sat aside, making an idea with a sad face.

Shen Siniang lowered her head and did not speak.

"It's also the fault of the shopkeeper, who is eager for merit. Why did you send this red jade to the mansion before the time came? It was a good thing, but why did it disappear?" Zhu's eyes swept over while speaking. Everyone in the room said, "Tell me, who has touched that red jadeite?"

"Ma'am!" The old mother next to Mrs. Zhu knelt down first, raised her right hand and said, "Ma'am, the old slave put away the things, but the old slave never dared to keep them privately. The old slave has served Madam for many years and is loyal to Madam." ..."

"I didn't say it was you!" Mrs. Zhu raised her hand to tell the old mother to get up.

His eyes swept over the people in the room one by one, and finally fell on Shen Siniang.

"Si Niang, have you ever taken the red jadeite? You are young, if you are playful and forget to put it back after looking at it for a while, mother will not blame you." Zhu Shi said warmly.

Shen Si Niang shuddered and knelt down, "Mother, Si Niang dare not..."

Mrs. Zhu took a deep breath, angrily afraid of the table, "I dare not, did Hong Fei run away by herself?!"

"Ma'am, don't get angry. Didn't the shopkeeper say that the little lady definitely doesn't have the money to redeem the things!" the old mother persuaded.

Zhu sneered, "If you don't redeem it, you don't need to look for it? The magical effect of the red jade..."

She raised her hand and touched her cheek, the smooth touch was really hard to put it down.There is no woman who does not love beauty. After hearing that the shopkeeper's offer of red jadeite has the magical effect of beautifying the face, she soaked the red jadeite in water to cleanse her face.really!But after using it two or three times, the face is as smooth as the flawless jade!

But after one night, Hong Fei disappeared!
Let her know that that bastard was greedy and stole her jade, and she must break her leg!

"Then let's look for it. My house has been turned up and down, and then go to Si Niang's place. Don't forget Wu Niang's room, and the entire backyard!" Zhu said sharply.

Shen Siniang lowered her eyes, "It's mother."

A group of people went to Shen Siniang's courtyard mightily.

When passing by the luxuriant lotus pond, Shen Siniang paused slightly, her eyes flicked over the lotus pond, but turned back after a while.

Shen Wuniang stopped and looked back at her, "Si Niang, tell me, is there any maid who stole mother's red jadeite and hid her in the lotus pond?"

Shen Siniang looked up at her younger sister, "Yes?"

Shen Wuniang shook her head, "Of course not, unless she's stupid, the lotus pond is full of mud, it's so deep! I heard that it's not a problem to bury a big living person! Throw a piece of red jade into it, unless she doesn't want it anymore If she doesn't want it, why steal it from her mother?! Let's go!"

Shen Siniang didn't speak, but raised her heels.
