Gu Fei fell to the ground and watched Housekeeper Wu being surrounded by several servants and entering a small door in the backyard of Prince Qi’s mansion.
She got up from the ground and looked at her left palm. Her skin was scratched and the sand and dust were all over her hand, black and red.
She walked back with a gloomy face. She didn’t expect that Housekeeper Wu was so difficult to deal with.
According to him, if she doesn’t close her business this morning, he will take action in the afternoon.
What does he want to do?
Gu Fei quickened her pace and walked for half an hour before returning to the inn.
When she reached the door, a carriage stopped.
A handsome young man came out of the car. Gu Fei was slightly startled. It was Su Chen!
Su Chen also saw Gu Fei. His eyes were full of surprise that he could not hide: “Miss Xiao Gu–”
Gu Fei smiled and bowed to him: “Young Master Su.”
At this time, another young man got out of the carriage.
The man’s eyes lit up when he looked at Gu Fei: “So the girl’s surname is Gu.”
Gu Fei glanced at the man and felt that he looked familiar. After thinking carefully, wasn’t this the young man who picked up Lanzhi’s handkerchief on the night of the Lantern Festival?
Young Master Su pointed at the man and said: “This is my classmate in the academy, Young Master Xu.”
“Have you met?”
Young Master Xu held a folding fan in his hand, patted it lightly, and said with a smile: “I am lucky to meet Miss Gu on the street on the Lantern Festival.”
As he was talking, Lian’er came out and was surprised to see Gu Fei: “Miss, where did you fall?”
As she spoke, she patted the dust off Gu Fei’s skirt.
While patting her, Lian’er cried out, “Oh, Miss, your hand is broken!”
Su Chen then saw that Gu Fei’s left hand was covered with dust and blood. His heart couldn’t help but twitch, and he hurriedly called Lian’er: “Help your Miss in quickly.”
Lian’er really reached out to help, and Gu Fei smiled: “No need to help, just go get a basin of water for me to wash my hands.”
Then she walked into the house, and Lian’er ran to get water.
Lanzhi was originally craning her neck behind the counter to look outside the door.
When she heard that Gu Fei had hurt her hand, she quickly put down her embroidery frame, ran out, grabbed Gu Fei’s hand, and pulled her to sit down: “Oh, how did you fall like this, where have you been so early in the morning!”
Young Master Xu saw Lanzhi nearby, and a surprised smile suddenly appeared on his face: “So the girl is here too.”
Lanzhi looked at him inexplicably.
Seeing that Lanzhi didn’t recognize him at all, Young Master Xu threw away the folding fan in his hand: “Miss, don’t you remember? I picked up your handkerchief on the Lantern Festival.”
Lanzhi then remembered, bowed to Young Master Xu, and turned away slightly without saying anything.
Lian’er fetched water, Gu Fei washed her hands, and Lanzhi took a needle from her lapel to pick out the sand embedded in her skin.
Su Chen watched from the side, and his heart trembled every time Lanzhi’s needle picked it up.
When the sand was picked out, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.
Lian’er brought the ointment and a clean cloth strip, and Lanzhi carefully helped Gu Fei wrap it.
Young Master Xu seemed to be crazy, his eyes glued to Lanzhi’s face.
Lanzhi wrapped Gu Fei’s hand and raised her head, suddenly meeting Young Master Xu’s gaze. Her face turned slightly red, and she thought of something, looking a little angry. She stood up and went to the counter to embroider the handkerchief.
Young Master Xu did not hide his gaze, and his gaze continued to follow Lanzhi.
Gu Fei wanted to pretend that she didn’t see it, but it was no use. Young Master Xu’s gaze was too explicit. She frowned slightly and coughed lightly: “Young Master Xu!”
