Bai Zhenzhu raised her head again, but Pei Xiachen was angry and blushed. She turned her head and stared at the women with broken mouths. However, she didn’t know who was talking and could only stare at everyone.

“What are you two dallying about? Come on up quickly!” Concubine Xiang was already standing on the second floor when she waved at them.

After Pei Xiachen stared at everyone, she was about to turn around, but heard the shopkeeper’s voice downstairs: “Meng Gongzi? If you want to buy clothes, you can just give me an order. Why did you come in person?”

As soon as Pei Xiachen heard this, she immediately turned back and looked downstairs. But who would have thought that she turned forcefully that she stepped on the corner of her skirt, and she lost her balance and fell down straight?

When the ladies downstairs saw this, they screamed in fright. Some even closed their eyes and didn’t dare to look.

Pei Xiachen’s body fell on the stairs. Her back hurt so much that she almost fainted. When she turned her body, she rolled down the stairs again. *Bang, bang, bang* She rolled until she fell on the first floor and in front of a man.

The man squatted down and looked at her face with a smile in his eyes, but he did not laugh. He asked: “Are you okay?”

Pei Xiachen looked at him and saw the man’s face. This was the face she was thinking about it. Now that he appeared in front of her, she even forgot the pain in her body. She stared at the man’s eyes and said: “I, I’m okay.”

She stretched out her hand, thinking that Meng Nan would hold her hand and pull her up.

However, Meng Nan didn’t do this. He straightened up and smiled lightly: “Since you’re okay, get up, it’s cold on the ground!” After that, he asked the shopkeeper: “My mother asked me to pick her up. Is she still here?”

The shopkeeper nodded: “Yes, in the VIP room on the second floor. This slave will take you there.”

At this time, Concubine Xiang rushed down from above, and cursed at the dazed maidservant: “What are you doing? Help her get up soon.”

The maidservant returned to her senses. Everything happened so fast that she couldn’t react.

Meng Nan didn’t look at them again, and went straight upstairs, and met a dazed young lady halfway down the stairs. He looked at her and felt she was a bit familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her, so he didn’t say hello, and went straight away.

Bai Zhenzhu’s heart trembled in fright. This was Meng Nan. She had seen him once in Huangtuo Village. Fortunately, he didn’t recognize her. If he recognized her, things will be troublesome… …

Pei Xiachen was angry and embarrassed. Her whole body hurt when she fell. Fortunately, the stairs were not high and she didn’t bump her head. Otherwise, she doesn’t know what would be her ending.

Concubine Xiang said: “Chen’er, where are you hurt? Tell your niang.”

Pei Xiachen shook her head, then took a deep breath and said: “Niang, I’m fine, quickly fix my hair. We should go up.”

Concubine Xiang said hurriedly: “What are you saying? Let’s go back quickly and I will find a doctor to check on you.”

How could Pei Xiachen be willing? It was so hard to see Meng Nan. But he was upstairs now, so how can she leave? Never!

Bai Zhenzhu also said: “Yes, yes, let’s go back and come back another day.”

Pei Xiachen stubbornly shook her head: “No, don’t change the day, just today.”

Concubine Xiang sighed, she stretched out her hand to tie her hair, and straightened the crooked bead flower: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Pei Xiachen patted the dust on her body and took a deep breath. She assumed the most elegant posture she could think of and walked upstairs step by step. The maidservant followed behind her and carefully helped her lift the corner of her skirt. She didn’t dare to let her fall again.
