I made the villain right.

Shi Jin followed Fan Hua and walked around all the way, not knowing where they were going. When she wasn't paying attention, she almost bumped into a masked man. Fan Hua was quick to pull her up.

"Thank you." Shi Jin came to his senses and immediately thanked him.

She looked up and saw a dilapidated mansion with broken walls. Shi Jin couldn't help but stare at it. The mansion had been burned down by a fire and showed signs of time. The remaining plaque had turned yellow and was covered with dust, and its original appearance could not be seen clearly. Only the words "Royal Palace" were left on the plaque.

When Shi Jin came back to her senses, she saw Fan Hua had already walked far away. She hurriedly jogged to catch up and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Fan Hua, do you know whose mansion was burned down?"

Fan Hua glanced at her and answered without any expression: "It is the Shengqing Palace."

Shi Jin understood: "Is that so?"

At this time, Feng Nanyiyi, a masked man who was walking not far away, seemed to have heard what they said. He suddenly looked back, looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and turned and left after a moment.

Shi Jin followed Fan Hua for about a few hundred meters and then stopped in front of a mansion. Shi Jin looked up in confusion and when he saw the words "Fan Mansion" written on it, the corners of his mouth curled up.

It was not in vain that I followed him today. I gained something. I found out his home address. I can visit him often in the future.

Before Shi Jin could be happy for too long, she heard Fan Hua say calmly, "I'm home now, Miss Shi, please do as you please."

Shi Jin said happily: "It's great to be home. I'm a little thirsty, so I'll go in and ask for a glass of water."

Fan Hua said nothing and went straight into the mansion. When he walked to Du Xuan, he glanced at him. Du Xuan seemed to understand what that look meant.

Seeing that Fan Hua didn't say anything, Shi Jin thought that he agreed, and followed him happily. When she was about to enter the door, Du Xuan stretched out his hand to stop her. He said coldly: "The master doesn't like people following her. Miss Shi, please go back."

Shi Jin was choked for a moment and laughed angrily: "I have followed him all the way, and you only told me now that he doesn't like people following him. Are you kidding me?"

Du Xuan was not moved at all by her words.

Shi Jin's expression suddenly changed, and he smiled and said, "May I ask what is this brother's name?"

He said very calmly: "Du Xuan" was like an emotionless word-reading machine.

Shi Jinhao said: "What a good name, the man lives up to his name, handsome and elegant..."

Before he could finish praising her, Du Xuan poured cold water on her. He said bluntly, "It's useless to please me. You can go straight out from here, turn right and walk about fifty steps, and you will see a mansion there."

Shi Jin mistakenly thought that he was kind enough to show her a way out, and then he looked forward to his next words and asked, "And then?"

"You can go over there and ask for a bowl of water," Du Xuan said seriously.

Unexpectedly, the excuse she made up was used by Du Xuan to evade her, which made Shi Jin's face droop instantly. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Thank you for thinking about me so much."

After a moment, her droopy little face suddenly became bright. She shouted inside, not knowing whether Fanhua could hear her, "Fanhua, I won't come with you another day. I will visit you in person. You can't be naughty and refuse to see me then."

Shi Jin was afraid that Fan Hua didn't receive the message, so before leaving, he reminded Du Xuan: "Brother Du Xuan, please repeat what I just said to your master in detail." He looked back every two steps as he left.

As she walked away, the door of the mansion suddenly opened. The person who opened the door was Fan Hua. He did not go in, but hid at the door and eavesdropped.

Du Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect that his master had the habit of eavesdropping. It was a bit unbelievable.

Fan Hua asked, "You said she just investigated me and then she came to my house. What is her purpose?"

Du Xuan thought for a moment and said tactfully: "I feel that Miss Shi seems to be trying to please the master."

Hearing this, Fan Hua lowered his eyes and muttered while thinking, "Pleasuring me?"

He didn't dare to agree, thinking that he had nothing worthy of her pleasing. He really couldn't guess her purpose of approaching him, so he didn't plan to guess and planned to let her tell it herself.

The master and servant walked into the mansion one after another, and the door was slowly closed.

The sunlight outside the window flashed by in a flash.

in the afternoon.

Shi Jin took Zhilu with him and got on the carriage carrying a lot of bags, their destination was Fan Mansion.

Soon they arrived at their destination. Shi Jin jumped off the carriage, walked to the door and knocked. After a while, the door was opened and a servant came out. He looked at her puzzledly and asked, "Miss, who are you looking for?"

Shi Jin smiled politely and said, "I'm looking for Fan Hua. Please let him know and say that it's an old acquaintance of his who came to visit in person."

A trace of surprise appeared on the servant's face, as he had never seen any guests visiting the mansion.

After a moment he said, "Wait a moment."

About half a quarter of an hour.

Fan Hua was in the study listening to Du Xuan's report, "Master, there is someone visiting the door, claiming to be your old acquaintance, Miss Shi. Master, do you want to let her in this time?"

Fan Hua raised his eyebrows. She came again in less than half a day. Was this what she called visiting on another day?

Seeing that Fan Hua remained silent, Du Xuan thought that Fan Hua still maintained her previous attitude. He understood and said, "I understand. I'll send her away right away." Then he left.

"Wait a minute!" Fan Hua called out to him immediately after coming back to his senses.

Du Xuan paused, turned around and asked, "Master, do you have any other instructions?"

Fan Hua said in a serious manner: "Everyone who comes is a guest. How can we keep people out? Take her to the main hall."

A trace of surprise flashed across Du Xuan's eyes, and after a moment he said respectfully: "I'll go right away."

the other side.

Shi Jin was holding a gift and walking around the door, waiting patiently. Seeing this, he asked, "Miss, is it too abrupt for us to come here so suddenly?"

Shi Jin explained: "I have already informed you in advance, so it is not a rash visit."

As they were talking, the door suddenly opened and the person who came in was Du Xuan. He said expressionlessly, "Miss Shi, please come in."

Seeing this, Jin smiled and said, "That's great," and then stuffed the things into Du Xuan's hands. Du Xuan could only passively take them and hugged them. Seeing that Zhilu also had a lot in his hands, she took out some and gave them to him. There were so many packages that they pressed against his chin.

Seeing that he had almost got everything, Shi Jin happily went into the mansion, and Zhilu followed closely behind him.

Du Xuan choked and stopped talking, he thought Shi Jin did this to avenge him for not letting her in this morning.

Du Xuan quickly followed and led the way for them.

The layout of the palace is neat, dignified and orderly, with pavilions, pools, rocks and corridors connected to each other. Flowers, plants and trees are dotted among the pavilions and towers. There are several peach trees planted in the courtyard. It is spring, and the buds are about to bloom, emitting fragrance in the wind.

Just as Shi Jin was admiring the exquisite layout of the mansion, she was also a little confused. She found that the mansion was very deserted and she rarely saw maids and servants cleaning the courtyard along the way.

Soon after, Shi Jin, led by Du Xuan, arrived at the main hall. As soon as she entered, she saw Fan Hua sitting in the main seat, with tea prepared for her.

Shi Jin smiled and said, "Your house is full of poetic scenery. I was dazzled for a while. Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Fan Hua said politely: "It's no problem."

Shi Jin chose a seat close to Fan Hua and sat down, while Zhi Lu stood behind her.

Fan Hua glanced at Du Xuan holding many packages and asked, "What are these, Miss Shi?"

After Shi Jin remembered, he immediately introduced, "Oh, I bought you some gifts." She thought for a moment and continued, "I bought you some dried fruits from your Yueling shop. I feel really bad that you couldn't buy them last time because of me. I also bought you some cakes and fruits."

Du Xuan frowned suddenly. Everything he bought was not on point. His master didn't like sweets.

Fan Hua coughed and said unnaturally: "I'm sorry Miss Shi spent so much money."

Shi Jin saw Fan Hua coughing again, and suddenly remembered that he had lung disease, and people with lung disease seemed to be unable to eat sweets. She said with some embarrassment: "You seem to be unable to eat sweets."

Fan Hua noticed Shi Jin's embarrassment and smiled faintly, "It's okay, I appreciate Miss Shi's kindness."

Unexpectedly, Shi Jin said: "Next time you come, I'll ask someone to prescribe some medicine for you to relieve your coughing symptoms. If you keep coughing like this, your throat will be damaged." Shi Jin's words were full of care.

Fan Hua stared at her eyes in a daze for a few seconds, deep and dark.

In a flash, he looked back to normal, changed the subject and shouted outside, "Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, put the gifts away."

After hearing Fan Hua's call, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba immediately came in and took away the gifts from Du Xuan and Zhi Lu.

Shi Jin stared at Fan Hua in a daze. She was thinking about how to start the conversation later, whether to approach gradually or cut the Gordian knot.

Fan Hua noticed Shi Jin's fiery gaze and felt something strange in his heart. He asked bluntly, "Miss Shi, why did you come all the way to see me?"

Shi Jin said seriously: "Come and talk," but his tone was meaningful.

Fan Hua's mouth twitched. He obviously didn't know how to continue with this sentence. His mouth curled slightly, revealing a polite but not awkward smile.

Shi Jin realized that he didn't seem to want to respond, so she continued the conversation: "Fanhua, what type of women do you like?

Then she listed several types: "Dignified and virtuous, gentle and charming, charming and passionate, or the kind with a heroic and cool appearance."

Fan Hua was stunned when she said this, not quite understanding why she asked this question? It was rare that she couldn't introduce a woman to him.

There was a hint of strangeness on his face. The pavilion was filled with a group of sturdy old men. He had never seen a woman around his master, except Luo Yi and Shi Jin.

Seeing that Fan Hua didn't say anything, Shi Jin blinked and asked, "What kind do you like?"

Fan Hua said: "I have never thought about this question."

Haven't you thought about it? That's easy. Now there is a ready-made one for him to choose on the spot.

She decided to cut the Gordian knot, and then the scene suddenly changed.

She opened her beautiful eyes, straightened her body, looked a little shy, and asked with a smile, "What do you think of this one of mine?" Then she gave him a wink.

The moment their eyes met, Fan Hua's heart paused. The little girl blinked like a bud about to bloom, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was as bright as the morning glow, bright and moving. He felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if being brushed by a feather, itchy, and he immediately moved away.

Just when Shi Jin was expecting Fan Hua's answer, she saw Fan Hua looking away and not looking at her, which made her very confused.

Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she thought, was it because her wink just now was too ferocious? He couldn't bear to watch it, so it seemed that she had to practice in front of the mirror in the future.

Fan Hua coughed and said seriously: "Miss Shi, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

Shi Jin slowed down and exhaled lightly. It was the first time for him to confess his feelings as a single person since birth. Although he was pretending, he was somewhat nervous.

She looked at Fanhua with a gentle gaze, her eyes flashing with brilliance, and she said firmly: "Fanhua, I like you"

Her straight eyes looked directly into Fan Hua's eyes. He coughed twice suddenly, as if he was choked. He looked at her in surprise and disbelief.

In a flash, the surroundings became unusually quiet. She saw Fan Hua's stunned expression and heard someone swallowing. She glanced at the others.

Zhilu's eyes flickered, but he looked calm, while Du Xuan's reaction was more dramatic. His eyes widened instantly, and he swallowed, as if he had heard some shocking news.

Fan Hua suppressed his astonishment and said in disbelief: "Miss Shi, please stop joking with me."

She looked at him straight in the face, lying without blinking, and replied: "No kidding, it's really true."

To be honest, she has some feelings for Fan Hua, but it seems that she cannot be said to like him.

Fan Hua asked suspiciously, "Miss Shi and I have only met once, how could Miss Shi fall in love with me?"

Shi Jin showed deep affection and tried her best to explain: "There is actually a kind of feeling in this world called love at first sight, and that's how I feel about you." In fact, she knew in her heart that she was just attracted by his beauty.

Although Shi Jin's words were very emotional, her eyes were as calm as water, without any emotion at all. Fan Hua knew that she didn't mean what she said.

Shi Jin changed the subject and asked, "Fanhua, when do you plan to get married?"

Time waits for no one. In her current situation, she can't wait too long. She will be an adult in more than a month, and she has to get ahead of Xu Wuchen.

The topic jumped too quickly, from just talking about love to suddenly jumping to marriage.

Fan Hua coughed, feeling surprised. He hadn't agreed to anything just now, but she wanted to get married so soon. Was this her purpose of getting close to him?

Fan Hua pinched his palms, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said softly: "I have been weak and sickly since childhood, I am afraid I am not lucky enough to enjoy Miss Shi's favor."

Shi Jinyan: "It doesn't matter if you're not in good health. My good health is perfect for you. I can take care of you."

Fan Hua said frankly, "Marriage is no joke, I hope Miss Shi will think carefully about it."

Hearing this, Fan Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

She agreed, "What you said makes sense. I'll think about it carefully." What he didn't know was that she chose him after careful consideration.

But Shi Jin still pretended to think about it, and Fan Hua was relieved to see that she was considering it.

Before Fan Hua could catch his breath, she revived again, her face bright and she said firmly: "I have thought it through, I will definitely rely on you"

Fan Hua showed a bitter look on his face. He couldn't resist Shi Jin's persistence and felt helpless. He couldn't do anything about her.

Just when Fan Hua didn't know how to deal with her, he glanced at the pigeons flying into the courtyard outside the house. He suddenly felt rescued and found a reason to escape from here.

Fan Hua said: "I have something important to attend to, so I will not accompany you. Miss Shi, please do as you please."

Then Fan Hua and Du Xuan left the place in a hurry, leaving Shi Jin and Zhi Lu looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhilu couldn't help but complain to her: "Miss, you've scared Master Fan away."

"Do I look like a flood or a beast? I scared him away."

"Miss, there is no girl like you, confessing to someone the first time you come to his house and insisting on marrying him, isn't this the style of a bandit?"

Shi Jin thought about it and felt that Zhilu's words made sense. She was like the bandit leader, and Fanhua was like the husband she had captured. She was too impatient and scared Fanhua away. This matter had to be handled step by step and she couldn't be impatient. If you are impatient, you won't get what you want.

Zhilu saw that Fanhua was no longer here and felt that it was pointless to stay here, so she asked: "Miss Fan, Master Fan is no longer here, I think we should go back."

"It's still early, there's no need to rush. I think the scenery in this yard is nice, let's take a walk before leaving."

Anyway, he told her to do as she pleased, so there should be no problem for her to walk around the mansion.
