Zheng Xiao Mistake: The Mistake of Rebirth Provoked the Cold Master

He promised to go out with sweet words, which was somewhat impulsive.

Zhu Zheng began to regret her decision after returning to the Zhu Mansion.

But Fang Xichen had helped her a lot in the past, so her regret only lasted for a moment, and she didn't have the nerve to turn against him.

Fang Xichen was incredibly efficient. As soon as he returned home, he sent a messenger to deliver the visiting card and scheduled the visit to be on the fifth day of the New Year.

There were still three days until the fifth day of the New Year, and Zhu Zheng always felt uneasy. Whenever she heard any movement at the gate of the mansion, she would go out to check.

Mingcui asked her if she was waiting for someone, but Zhu Zheng didn't answer.

Whenever a distinguished carriage or a handsome figure passed by the mansion, she would feel a chill in her heart, as if she were afraid of enemies.

It is not actually accurate to say that she sees enemies everywhere. There is a poem that is similar to her mood.

"I miss you so much that the plum blossoms bloom overnight. I think it's you when the branch reaches the window."

It's a pity that the other person's feeling is purely lovesickness, but it's hard to explain what she is.

Although Fang Xichen set the date quickly, his ultimate goal was to be slow.

The slower the better.

He was afraid that Madam Zhu was also impatient and would agree right away, so he never intended to hide the fact of the wedding from the beginning.

Not only did he not hide it, he also used it as an excuse to make up a lot of stories.

If Madam Zhu used this as an excuse to shirk her responsibility, he would just try to stop her a few times.

If he doesn't shirk responsibility, he is also prepared.

When at the Fang family, Fang Xichen repeatedly emphasized this several times, saying that after all, it was his first time getting married, and he had obviously treated the girl lightly because of the wedding. So he couldn't go to the marriage proposal empty-handed, and he had to prepare a generous gift to show his sincerity.

The two sons of the Fang family both served as officials in the court, which was a respectable thing. However, seeing that the elder Fang Shouqian was eating and drinking in prison every day, and the younger Fang Xichen was playing with a broken parrot every day, they both seemed to be competing with each other for not being able to get married.

Fang's father and mother had been looking forward to it for a long time, so they readily agreed to such a ridiculous thing as to bring good luck to their second uncle.

Upon hearing Young Master Fang's plan, he praised that in-laws could really change a person's appearance, and immediately agreed with joy.

As a result, the whole family worked together to prepare this generous gift for the second young master.

After three days of non-stop work, they raised the standard of the small gifts to the level of betrothal gifts. A whole cart was filled with gold and silver jewelry, cloth and clothing. They sent Fang Xichen off with drums and gongs, and set off for the Zhu Mansion in a bright red carriage.

There is Yuexing Bridge between Fang Mansion and Zhu Mansion, so you have to cross the bridge to get there.

An inconspicuous carriage with green curtains was parked by the bridge.

Liu Feng had been waiting with his master for the whole morning, and when he saw the marriage proposal team approaching, he stretched his neck.

"...The Fang family is really serious about this. It's just a marriage proposal, and they haven't even started yet, but they've made such a big fuss about it. If you don't know, you might think it's a wedding."

Rong Yan sat in the car, frowning as he looked at the tall horse draped in red and decorated with flowers not far away. His expression seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.

After a moment, he suddenly said, "Bump into it."

Liu Feng: “Ah?”

When Fang Xichen was knocked over, he didn't react for a long time what had happened.

The roads in Shengjing were wide and broad, and Yuexing Bridge was a large bridge, so it was no problem for four carriages to drive side by side. So how could he have encountered such a rare thing today?

Even more unfortunate was that by the time Fang Xichen climbed out of the overturned carriage, the carriage had already disappeared.

A nimble and agile carriage of ordinary style disappeared in the busy city.

Fang Xichen could only swallow his loss and instruct his attendants to count the gift boxes and check if there was any loss.

Fortunately, apart from the broken wheel hub of the carriage, there was no major damage.

Apart from Fang Xichen hitting his head, no one else was injured.

But since the carriage broke down, the auspicious time was definitely delayed.

Fang Xichen wrote an apology letter to the Zhu family, explaining the reason and saying that he could only choose another date.

Then he went home happily.

He was happy not because Fang Xichen was hit stupidly, but because he was happy that despite the bad luck he had at the beginning, the car crash was exactly what he wanted.

He set the date on the fifth day because he was afraid that Zhu Zheng would change her mind.

As a result, under Fang Shouqian's instruction, Fang Xichen was forced to learn a lot of etiquette of the in-laws. He soon discovered with a broken heart that although the engagement ceremony was complicated, it was not as complicated as he had imagined.

Besides, the enthusiastic reaction of the whole family is not right. They have been busy with this matter recently, and the progress is so fast that there is a risk that the marriage can be completed within three months.

Fang Xichen was like a duck on a cage, afraid that he had really deceived Zhu Zheng, and he couldn't think of any good solution.

The car accident caused a delay of at least ten days and at most half a month, which greatly slowed down the process of marriage negotiation.

After hesitating for half a month, Fang Xichen set out again with great fanfare.

Then he was hit again at the entrance of the bridge.

This time the carriage escaped just like last time, and he got a big bump on his head again.

After recuperating for a few days, he set out again seven days later and was hit again.

It's really weird!

If Fang Xichen still thought it was an accident at this moment, then he would have become a fool.

He didn't remember who he had offended, and reporting to the police was of no use, so he picked up a pen and wrote a letter to Zhu Zheng in frustration.

The letter described his strange experience in detail and warned Zhu Zheng to be careful. He planned to ask the blind fortune teller who read his second uncle's fortune to see if this wedding for good fortune was against the will of heaven.

When Zhu Zheng received the letter, she was speechless for a long time.

About ten days later, it was the day when Fang Xichen came to visit for the fourth time as scheduled.

As the days went by, Madam Zhu felt that the Fang family was inexplicable and had lost her enthusiasm.

At the Yuexing Bridge, Zhu Zheng, who had successfully slipped out, squatted at the corner of the street with Mu Li, staring at the passing carriages.

Not long after, the culprit was spotted.

A green-curtained carriage that she had seen before appeared at the corner of the street.

Zhu Zheng was very familiar with these carriages and their owners, and could tell which ones were used for official tours and which ones were used for shameful things.

Unlike the last time I saw it, this green-curtained carriage was nailed with steel nails and covered with a thick layer of iron sheet.

The coachman looked unfamiliar at first glance, but upon second glance his figure seemed somewhat familiar.

While Zhu Zheng was distracted by wondering whether the sight was unfamiliar or familiar, the carriage with green curtains had already turned its head and gathered momentum to rush under the bridge.

Zhu Zheng was startled and immediately ran in that direction. When she had run halfway, she watched it knock over Fang Xichen's carriage again.

In broad daylight, it is really lawless...

Without even bothering to look at Fang Xichen, Zhu Zheng was so furious that he immediately ran after the carriage.

Its escape route was skillful and fast. Zhu Zheng chased the carriage for half a street and even lost Mu Li. When it was about to be lost, the carriage seemed to notice someone chasing it and stopped on its own.

Zhu Zheng was out of breath. After catching up, she held on to the carriage and panted for a long time with stars in her eyes.

"Fourth Miss...why is it you?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhu Zheng knew who the bearded groom was.

The beard on Liu Feng's face stretched from his chin to under his eyes. His dark face, coupled with his large build, made him look quite ferocious at first glance.

No wonder Fang Xichen said in the letter that he was hit by bandits.

Zhu Zheng was furious. She took a deep breath and pulled open the car curtain.

Then she was choked, and with an unsteady breath, she gasped, "Sir... huh... you... cough cough..."

The momentum of pulling the curtain was suddenly exhausted.

A cup of warm tea was handed over through the car door.

Rong Yan sat in the car calmly, without any awareness that he had just hit someone. He held a cup of tea and gestured to Zhu Zheng.

"boarding."

She even got in the car. Did he understand that she was not coming to attend a small tea party, but to call him, an outlaw, to task.

However, he had to catch his breath before he could go to battle. Zhu Zheng snatched the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

This small bone china teacup is not very practical, and it is not as enjoyable as drinking from a teabowl. After drinking a cup, I feel even thirstier.

Rong Yan seemed to see that she hadn't drunk enough, so he poured her another glass.

Marriage discussions are always held early. At this time, the autumn weather is clear and the morning light is dim. They are on Canghai Avenue, the most prosperous street in Shengjing.

Amid the coming and going of people, the carriage stopped at a roadside that was not a roadside. Two people were pouring tea and drinking it through the door.

There is an eerie tranquility and peace in the silence.

After drinking several cups in a row, Zhu Zheng finally calmed down and continued with her words, "My lord, what are you crazy about?"

Rong Yan held the teacup and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "Don't want to drink anymore?"

Zhu Zheng had already figured out what she was doing just now, and angrily said, "Sir! I'm asking you a question."

Rong Yan frowned, put away the teacup, and explained lightly, "Liu Feng knows his limits."

Liu Feng, who was suddenly called out, wiped the sweat off his forehead and nodded to Zhu Zheng with a smile.

"Ah... yes, yes, I have been sent to the horse farm by adults to practice hard these days. Don't worry, Fourth Miss, I will only hit cars and not people. Look how skillfully I reined in the horse and turned just now."

Skilled, skilled!

Zhu Zheng was so angry at the master and servant who were in cahoots with each other and acted nonchalantly that her head was steaming. "Are you taking this as a joke? Aren't you really afraid of causing a death?"

Rong Yan: "Are you worried about him?"

Zhu Zheng: “Nonsense!”

This devilish plan didn't make Rong Yan give up, but it almost cost him his life.

If Fang Xichen knew that the person who had knocked over his car several times in a row was the Grand Tutor whom they two brothers admired the most, his heart would probably be broken more than the Mirror Pond!
