Chapter 40: Breaking the Story
Chang Runzhi's heart suddenly calmed down.
She's not a girl who doesn't know the world, she understands what feelings are all about.
It is undeniable that she has a good impression of Liu Tong.
At least in his gaze, she would feel helpless and flustered.
At this moment, she was moved.
ββ¦β¦ I do. β
Chang Runzhi looked at Liu Tong with a smile, spoke softly, and repeated again.
"I do."
The two looked at each other, and suddenly lowered their heads and laughed at the same time, and both turned their heads a little embarrassed.
They reached a tacit understanding, and there seemed to be a faint flow of ambiguous feelings in the air.
Liu Tong took a sip of tea in disguise, pretended to cough twice, and was about to speak, but Chang Ou bumped in like a gust of wind.
"What are you doing, reckless." Chang Runzhi frowned and scolded him, and Chang Ou hurriedly said: "Third sister, I just seem to have seen the former third brother-in-law!" β
Chang Run was stunned, and Liu Tong's eyes narrowed.
"Where did you see that?"
Chang Runzhi was surprised. At this time, Fang Shuozhang should be doing things in the Prince's Mansion.
"When I was waiting for Mr. Storyteller, I saw his back and passed through the door of the teahouse."
Chang Ou pointed to the main entrance of the teahouse and said, "There are two people around him, and I look a little sneaky...... I didn't see his face clearly, but I felt that his back was familiar, like my first third brother-in-law. β
Chang Runzhi thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go to listen to the book, whether it is him or not, it has nothing to do with us." β
Chang Ou was a little unhappy, and eagerly said, "Otherwise, I'll go and see if it's him?" β
"It's hard to come out and play, and you're going to spend time on this?" Chang Runzhi raised his eyebrows and asked him.
Chang Ou naturally shook his head, and sighed like a little adult: "I'm just curious......"
Liu Tong opened his mouth and said: "If Xiaosi is curious, then I will let people follow and take a look, and come back to tell you, okay?" β
Chang Ou suddenly nodded like pounding garlic: "Okay, good, thank you, Brother Jiu!" β
Liu Tong asked Chang Ou the direction of the person he saw, glanced at the servants beside him, and motioned for him to follow.
Chang Ou went to the lobby to listen to the book with peace of mind.
Chang Runzhi frowned slightly, and couldn't help but say, "Actually, there's no need to keep up." Whether it's him or not, let people go out for a spin and come back to sue SΓΉ Xiaosi that he saw the wrong person. β
Liu Tong shook his head: "Xiao Si said that he was followed by two people, and his behavior was sneaky, so it was better to go and have a look." β
Chang Runzhi didn't say anything, so he took a sip of tea.
Liu Tong couldn't help but ask her: "That Fang Shuo Zhang......"
Chang Runzhi raised his eyes to look at him, and when he saw that Liu Tong looked worried about what he wanted to ask, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What do you want to ask?" Just ask. β
Liu Tong saw that she was not annoyed, and she didn't have any special feelings when she mentioned Fang Shuozhang, so she calmed down a little in her heart, and asked softly: "Are you really completely letting go of that Fang Shuozhang?" β
When Liu Tong asked, his expression was uneasy, for fear that Chang Runzhi would be angry.
Chang Runzhi naturally wouldn't be angry, she thought about it for a while, and replied to him: "There's nothing I can't put down, now he is just a stranger with some trouble to me." β
Liu Tong clenched his fists: "He often harasses you in the Prince's Mansion?" β
"It's not harassment." Chang Runzhi said helplessly: "If you want to talk about contact with him, it's all for the sake of business in the prince's mansion, and if I usually meet him, I will avoid it." But there is always a time when there is no way to avoid it. What's more troublesome is that the crown prince and the crown princess seem to hope that I can reunite with him, and often create opportunities. β
Since he said it, Chang Runzhi has nothing to hide: "Xiaosi is right, I just feel a little annoyed, so I found an excuse to come back and rest for a few days, and by the way, I asked my mother for advice." β
"Have you come up with a way to deal with it?" Liu Tong hurriedly asked.
Chang Runzhi nodded, and said with a sly smile: "Mother asked me to move the old lady out of the mansion and tell the princess, the old lady didn't like Fang Shuozhang and didn't let me have anything to do with the Fang family anymore." Presumably, the crown princess is no longer easy to match, openly and secretly. β
Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief.
I heard the fifth brother say before that the fifth sister-in-law's family is all clear and not confused, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.
But...... Why did you look at Shuo Zhang in the first place?
He thought to himself, and asked involuntarily.
As soon as he asked, he regretted it.
Although Chang Runzhi said that Fang Shuozhang was just a stranger to her, but in the end, they were two years of husband and wife, and Liu Tong thought that Chang Runzhi's heart must be far less calm than on the surface. It was inappropriate for him to mention Fang Shuozhang, and now he asked more, wouldn't it be digging the scar on her heart?
Liu Tong wanted to pat his head in annoyance, but Chang Runzhi didn't pay attention to it at all, and replied to him with a smile: "It is my father who looks at Shuo Zhang, and this marriage is also decided by him." In the end, men look at men and women look at men differently. My father saw that Fang Shuozhang was young and promising, and he felt that such a husband was the best destination for me. β
Liu Tong couldn't help leaning in the direction of Chang Runzhi, and said softly: "Master Hou must also regret it." But now that you are leaving home, it is also a good thing, otherwise wouldn't it be a waste of your life? β
Indeed, it was because I figured this out that my mind suddenly cleared up. Fortunately, with the support of his mother and eldest sister, he was able to return home. Chang Runzhi said with a "poof" smile: "As for my father...... Probably because he finally became a matchmaker, but got such a result, he was also very ashamed, now that he has good things, he will send a copy to me, but when he saw me, he was quite uncomfortable, and privately told his mother that he would no longer dare to interfere in the marriage of his children. β
Liu Tong's heart suddenly became happy.
He knew that the fifth sister-in-law wanted to make Chang Runzhi and him a pair, and the fifth brother later told him that it was the old lady of the Marquis of Anyuan who took a fancy to him first. He has the support of the old lady and gets along well with Chang Runzhi, if he wants to marry Chang Runzhi, he will only have his father left.
Thinking of this, Liu Tong's heart calmed down.
Father's level...... I'm afraid it's not good.
Chang Runzhi saw that Liu Tong was distracted, and called him out loud: "Ninth Prince, what's wrong with you?" β
Liu Tong came back to his senses and smiled, and said, "Didn't you ask you to call me Ah Tong?" β
Chang Runzhi said embarrassedly: "Will it ...... Some too intimate? β
"Call it in private, and don't let others know." Liu Tong said softly: "Etiquette is still exchanged, can I call you Runzhi?" β
Chang Runzhi lowered his head slightly, and nodded after a while.
Liu Tong couldn't wait to call: "Runzhi." β
Chang Runzhi's cheeks flew up to the red cloud, and his voice was as thin as a gnat: "Ah...... Atong. β
Liu Tong replied and smiled very satisfied.
Chang Runzhi listened to his laughter, felt a little dry mouth, and hurriedly poured a sip of tea.
I seem to be becoming more and more passive......
How can this work?
Since he mentioned Fang Shuozhang, did she also mention the original Nine Emperor Princesses?
