Chapter 4: "Chance Encounter"
"What's going on?" Diejin asked the coachman in a loud voice.
"Miss, the car seems to be broken...... the coachman looked anxious, and had already jumped out of the carriage to check.
Shen Yantan raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and then a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. When it was time to repair the car, she simply took Diejin to a nearby teahouse to rest and wait.
Slowly walking up to the second floor, Shen Yantan secretly counted down, and sure enough, he had a "coincidence" with Lu Zhuo.
"Girl?" Lu Zhuo paused to enter the private room, and smiled, "What a coincidence, I met again." β
Shen Yantan deliberately hesitated for a few seconds, pretending to recognize the person after realizing it, and blessed himself and said, "Thank you for what happened last time, son." β
"It doesn't matter." Lu Zhuo pursed his lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes smiled, which made his already superior face even more confusing, "It's just a gesture, the girl doesn't think I'm abrupt." β
Shen Yantan pursed his lips and didn't answer, but his gaze was like substance.
Lu Zhuo didn't care, only said: "A batch of fine silver leaf tea has just come to the teahouse here, if the girl doesn't dislike it, why don't you go and taste it in the private room?" β
Shen Yantan maintained that worried expression and hesitated for a while, then nodded half-pushed: "In this way, thank you Son." β
Entering the private room, Xiao Er quickly sent a pot of tea, which was the Junshan silver leaf in Lu Zhuo's mouth.
Lu Zhuo personally poured a cup and handed it to Shen Yantan: "Try it." β
Shen Yantan took a sip and put it down again: "I'm sorry, I'm really not in the mood today, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint my son's good tea." β
"I see." Lu Zhuo poured himself a glass unhurriedly, "But everything in the world, except for birth, old age, sickness and death, the rest is nothing, if the girl is troubled, you might as well say it and listen to it, maybe, I can help or not." β
Shen Yantan shook his head: "My son and I just met in Pingshui, so why does Childe have to help me." β
"I'm a person who doesn't like to think too much about things." Lu Zhuo said, "Since I fell in love with the girl, if I can help, I would be happy to come up with an idea." β
Shen Yantan was silent for a moment, the gloomy and hopeless mood in her eyes rekindled a faint hope with Lu Zhuo's words, she seemed to be unable to resist the temptation, and finally opened her mouth: "Since I was a child, I have decided to have a family affair, but later for some reasons, the family dislikes me, and my fiancΓ© is also more ......close to my sister."
"What kind of fate!" Hearing this, Diejin on the side couldn't help but be indignant, "If it weren't for the fourth lady to do such a thing that couldn't be put on the stage, why wouldn't it be ......?"
"That's it!" Shen Yantan interrupted her in time.
Lu Zhuo was slightly surprised, but he had no intention of delving, and paused and said, "So, the girl doesn't want to lose this family business?" β
"It's not." Shen Yantan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "In the current situation, I can only 'fulfill' my sister." If it's just a divorce, it's just a matter of getting married, but the newly found relatives at home are really ......"
She didn't say everything she said, but it was enough for Lu Zhuo to understand: "In the final analysis, do you not want to accept the new arrangement?" β
"Hmm." Shen Yantan said sullenly.
"That's easy." Lu Zhuo smiled, "Poke out the matter of your sister and your fiancΓ©'s 'falling in', as long as your sister has a bad reputation, your marriage will inevitably be affected at that time." If the door is high enough, it will only be more important, and it will be much easier for you to get rid of the arrangement at home. It's just that in this way, you have to suffer a little bit. β
"I don't care." Shen Yantan said, "It's just that things are so simple, the eccentric sister in the family, even if I try to expose it on the spot, my father will only try his best to suppress the news, and in the end it will be in vain." β
"In that case, it would be nice to find a way to make things bigger." Lu Zhuo's eyes flickered, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, "It's so big that even your father can't suppress this matter, so the effect is better......
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage was repaired, and Shen Yantan got up to say goodbye to Lu Zhuo and left the teahouse.
After she left, Lu Zhuo turned his gaze back, and the expression on his face gradually converged.
He took a sip of the tea and instructed lightly, "Do you know what to do?" Send someone to keep an eye on the Shen family, and you can't let go of anything unusual. β
"My subordinates understand!" Mu Qing immediately took orders.
