Chapter 8, Who Calls Me Lei Feng
Yang Zhi's eyes brightened: "Dead?"
It is not that she intends to conceal her true appearance, but rather...! ... she herself has not yet seen what she looks like!
Shen Qianzi glared at him irritably and said, "What are you doing?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianzi finally eased her expression: "As long as your prince does not forget that he owes me a favor, everything else can be considered as me doing a good deed. After all, who am I but a modern-day Lei Feng"
Shen Qianzi glanced sideways and asked, "Is there something you need?"
One cannot be certain whether he can fulfill his empty promises
The prince asked him to inquire about her name; could it be that the prince has taken a liking to her? Should he also help the prince by asking a few more questions?
"Lei Feng?" Yang Zhi repeated softly, then smiled and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, "Miss Lei—"
Yang Zhi scratched the back of his head, not understanding why she was so agitated. However, these inquiries were made at the behest of the prince, and he dared not refuse to come.
Watching the woman's angry departure, Yue Qincheng narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, the clear and proud glimmer in his gaze reflecting a hint of elusive charm under the faint light of the torch
Yang Zhi secretly glanced at his master not far away, noticing that his master was looking in his direction with no sign of displeasure. Immediately feeling invigorated, he hurriedly smiled at Shen Qianzi.
Yang Zhi's mouth twitched, but seeing her attitude become more amiable, he felt a surprise in his heart. In order to gather more reliable information and gain favor with his master, he forced a smile and obediently sat down opposite Shen Qianzi
By the stream, Shen Qianzi sat on a large rock, her head bowed in deep contemplation
"Miss, please do not misunderstand. We have no other intentions; we simply wish to inquire about your esteemed name. After all, you have saved us, and we should at least remember your name." Seeing her display a look of wariness, Yang Zhi quickly smiled and explained
Yang Zhi furrowed his brows and asked, "Where is Miss Shen's fiancé now?"
He glanced back at a certain gentleman not far away and noticed that his expression was not very pleasant. He felt that it was likely due to his own indiscretion, so he simply decided to close his mouth and refrain from speaking.
At that time, her greatest concern was this coward; if he couldn't hold it in and cried out suddenly, they would all be finished. Fortunately, in the end, it was just a false alarm
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhi was puzzled and looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "You already have a fiancé, how can you say that you have no one promised to you?"
Miss Shen, I mean no offense, so please do not be alarmed. I merely wish to inquire about your situation. It is rare to encounter someone as perceptive and courageous as you. Seeing you in this desolate mountain area, I can't help but feel that you might be quite lonely. I thought that upon returning to the capital, I might be able to introduce you to a suitable match.
His deep voice sounded a bit more polite, yet it carried an undertone of command. Shen Qianzi instinctively brushed her hair that covered her eyes, and immediately let out a displeased hum
It seems that she did something foolish again last night—she should not have listened to that man
As for the arranged marriage, it refers to a union decided by the parents. My fiancé is someone I found myself, and these are two different matters; do not confuse them. Looking at this coward who is nearly too foolish to live, she patiently explained.
Seeing Yang Zhi still standing on ceremony, she waved her hand somewhat unaccustomedly: "Please, sit down, don't stand. You are tall and strong, and I feel quite pressured looking at you."
He now seriously doubts that this woman has a problem with her mind
Yang Zhi was suddenly interrupted by her, looking at her with a somewhat stiff and puzzled expression
It was evident that she was in a somewhat bad mood. Yang Zhi touched his nose but still mustered the courage to politely ask, "May I ask how to address you, miss?"
Observing the man's calm demeanor, Shen Qianzi slightly furrowed her brows. ... This person is indeed somewhat difficult to fathom ...
People from the capital
Does she have a fiancé and what is their relationship?
No," Shen Qianzi shook her head. However, she added, "But I used to have a fiancé.
What nonsense to agree to one of her conditions, doesn't that mean I have to accompany them all the way to the capital?
"It's none of your business. If you find me annoying, then don't follow me!" She coldly dropped this remark and walked down towards the foot of the mountain.
Miss Shen, I beg your pardon for my boldness, but may I inquire if Miss Shen is already married or engaged
Is she really supposed to return to her stepfather Shen Qianzi's home
Previously, due to the instinct to escape, the anxiety and fear had long since overshadowed the sense of terror. Now, having completely extricated himself from danger, a wave of apprehension surged forth like crashing waves, and it felt as if something was churning in his chest, causing him to squat down and retch with a "wow".
Does Miss Shen have someone she is betrothed to
The memories in her mind and the nightmares every night made her aware that many had harmed Shen Qianzi. However, she could not see the face of the man who strangled Shen Qianzi no matter how hard she tried
Shen Qianzi immediately turned around and glared at him: "What do you mean by 'die'? We have broken up!"
Yang Zhi truly had the impulse to vomit blood. Is it that he understands women too little?
The term "Miss" is quite unpleasant to her; those in her profession can hardly tolerate the two words "Miss".
Upon recalling something, Yang Zhi once again cupped his hands and performed a bow
Shen Qianzi turned around and cast him a disdainful glance. At this moment, she finally felt disgusted and afraid, was it a bit too late?
Where is Miss Shen from
Throughout the journey, Shen Qianzi felt a surge of excitement within her. It was not the feeling of Liu Laolao wandering through the grand estate, but rather her contemplation on how to avenge the original owner.
Shen Qianzi raised her hand and pointed at the dimly lit horizon.
Shen Qianzi had a head full of black lines. "... ..." Is there really a man acting as a matchmaker in ancient times?
Who are the people in Miss Shen's family
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianzi cast a wary sidelong glance at him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Perhaps sensing her gaze upon him, the man slightly turned his head, his narrow, elongated eyes casting a cold and disdainful glance at her
Every day, as she touched her own features, she felt a sense of familiarity, and she also guessed that she should not be unattractive. This was the face she had in her new life, yet she did not even know what she looked like, so how could she allow others to see her first
Yang Zhi blinked, indicating that he understood, and quickly cupped his hands in salute: "Miss Shen Leifeng"
Shen Qianzi lazily cast him a glance, not understanding the reason for his sudden anger. She was only chatting with him out of boredom, after all, those people had just left not long ago, and they still could not go down the mountain. But is he being too meddlesome?
Stop! Shen Qianzi nearly spat blood. Without a wolf-toothed club in hand, if she had one, she would undoubtedly strike him without hesitation. Is it common to give people random names?
Yang Zhi stood behind her, looking at the several corpses at his feet, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps
Shen Qianzi paused for a moment and corrected, "My surname is Shen"
Miss? Suddenly, a very polite voice came from beside me
Stop! Shen Qianzi's mouth twitched, nearly fainting from shock. This name is truly unacceptable
There are many.
"Just call me Miss Shen."
Last night was indeed perilous; had they not hidden themselves so well, they would likely have been discovered by those individuals. Fortunately, they had four or five corpses on them for cover.
This man is indeed very calculating, and his depth of character is truly profound
If only she knew who her enemy was, she could simply eliminate him with a single shot. But unfortunately, all she knows is that it is a man, which makes it difficult for her to seek revenge
Otherwise, given the man's current situation, even a blind person would know that he is unable to meet his own demands
What a fool, where did this mischievous child come from
Turning around, she looked at a man who was handling a corpse. He emerged from the pile of dead bodies looking somewhat disheveled, his deep blue brocade robe stained with dirt and even wrinkled in many places. However, the man's face remained relatively clean, though from the side, his angular features appeared somewhat harsh.
At noon, Shen Qianzi caught a few fish from the stream and roasted them for the two of them. Perhaps due to their misfortunes, the master and servant did not complain, and after filling their stomachs with the roasted fish, the three of them left Youming Mountain in the afternoon
"In broad daylight, I trouble the young lady to remove her disguise." This ghastly appearance is painful to his eyes
