Wan Rong and the others were quick to notice, but when they saw a young man whose face was filled with anger suddenly appear at the side of the road, they exclaimed in shock, and their faces immediately turned pale. Just as he was about to step forward to block them, he heard Xu Mingwei tell him, "There's no harm. It's the eldest young master of the Fu Clan who has something to say to me. "You guys go down to the entrance and guard it. If anyone comes, report it as soon as possible."
Wan Rong and Wan Yi looked at each other, in their hearts they knew that the young lady wanted to send them away. Although they were still a little worried, they knew what Xu Mingwei's temperament was, so they could only follow her orders and keep a lookout for the wind.
"How did you know I was coming up the hill?" Xu Mingwei saw that he did not bring a single servant with him, and only waited there. He did not know how long he had waited for this wait, but it was filled with a little foolishness. If he just wandered around halfway up the mountain, wouldn't he have blown the mountain wind for nothing?
"I was just trying my luck. I didn't really expect to meet you." Fu Heng's expression was not as scary as before, as he said with a smile.
"Is there something you need from me?" Xu Mingwei could not understand, one second he looked like he wanted to kill someone, the next second was better.
"I want to ask you personally, have you interfered with my sister's marriage?" Fu Heng asked.
Xu Mingwei shook her head. In truth, she did not know about it beforehand, or that the Lady Helan had used someone else to help the Ying Family. Only after Yang Jinxi came to her door to bid farewell did she find out the truth, and she did not care about lying.
Fu Heng could see that she was calm and collected, and knew that she was not lying. Actually, he had wanted to ask her whether or not Fu Ninghui's marriage was caused by his family, but when he looked into her eyes, it turned into asking if or not she had interfered. He himself knew clearly in his heart that the County Princess had never liked his sister Fu Ninghui. Otherwise, he wouldn't have delayed it for so many years without doing anything.
In terms of logic, the Xu family did not owe them anything. After all, they were the ones who were the first to cause trouble. Now that the marriage had not been completed, Fu Ninghui cried her heart out for help at home. However, she only saw the young duke come twice, to comfort him, and not to comfort him. The love she felt in her childhood had dispersed with the passage of time. Only he, that silly girl, was still so concerned. Now, if his family were to speak up for her, even if they were to force their way in, it would be a injustice.
As Fu Heng thought about it, Xu Mingwei also thought about it. So they had come to seek justice for his sister, and they were really able to keep their cool. The matter of the Ying and Yang Family betrothing the marriage or the year before, the Fu family had already guessed it. She thought that Fu Heng was so angry that he wanted to beat her up. She was shocked and afraid at the same time, that there was no such thing as a violent divorce at all. Isn't it already the Fu Heng from your family that dared to wave to her?
It was too late to dodge, Xu Mingwei subconsciously shrunk her neck and closed his eyes, but she did not face the expected slap. After opening his eyes hesitantly, Fu Heng looked at her in shock and anger. She was still holding onto the belt of her cape, only now did she understand that it wasn't to hit her, but because the belt on her cape had loosened, making her afraid that her cape would be blown away and she would help him hold onto it.
"You get beaten up a lot at home?" Fu Heng's voice still contained some anger. How could anyone be willing to beat such a good girl.
Xu Mingwei was completely confused by his question. Looking at his expression, Xu Mingwei knew that he had misunderstood, and explained without knowing whether to laugh or cry, "My mother, my father, was not even willing to say a single heavy sentence to me, so why would she hit me? I was just lost in thought for a moment, and then I saw you reaching out your hand and I was shocked. "
Fu Heng looked at the cape in his hand and blushed. He had originally wanted to tie her up, but he had completely forgotten that they were still unmarried men and women, so he couldn't do something so intimate. He wanted to ask her to do it herself, but he felt reluctant. While he was struggling, Xu Mingwei took a look at him calmly. For a moment, Fu Heng felt a bit of unfairness, not only did he lean over to help her fasten the cape, he also caressed her face easily. It was soft and slippery, but cold to the touch.
He could not help but frown, and naturally found her hand in his palm, grumbling, "Why did you come to the mountain and don't remember to wear more? Your hands are all made of ice."
Xu Mingwei was so light that she did not know how to react. Now that both her hands were covered by him, she could clearly feel his dry and warm palms.
She tried to pull back, but Fu Heng refused to let her go. Xu Mingwei could only scold her in a low voice in anger and shame, "Let go of me now, what are you saying!"
saw her blushing face, and he felt that she was even more adorable, unwilling to fulfill her wish. Laughing softly, he said, "Relax, if someone comes, I can see, furthermore, aren't you two girls watching from below?"
Only now did Xu Mingwei realize the difference in strength between men and women. If he wanted to do something to her intentionally, no matter how much she struggled, it would be useless. She couldn't help but regret for having let Wan Rong and Wan Yi go just now.
Fortunately, Fu Heng had only warmed her hands, and had let her go after he warmed her hands.
"Then I'll be leaving first since there's nothing else. I don't want Fourth Aunt to come looking for me." Once Xu Mingwei's hands gained their freedom, he retreated a few steps back in fear, and only spoke to Fu Heng after he was a distance away from him.
Fu Heng laughed in his heart. Several times he had seen her, the little girl had always maintained a calm expression. But now, it was as if he had seen a little rabbit with a face full of vigilance. If it wasn't for the fact that he was afraid of scaring her, he really wanted to pull her into his embrace and rub her.
Xu Mingwei saw that he was looking into his eyes and immediately ran off without looking back. When Wan Rong and Wan Yi saw that she had rushed down from above in a panic, they were both shocked and wondered what had happened. Looking at Xu Mingwei's expression, her bashful expression, she could roughly guess what happened.
Wan Yi secretly laughed, it turned out that Young Master was also an impatient person, the reason why he carried people to the top of the mountain and waited was because of this. However, Wan Rong was worried that the young lady was still young. If she really married into the Fu Clan in the future, how would she be willing to wait?
Xu Mingwei's heart was in a mess, she had never experienced this in her two lifetimes before. Subconsciously, she turned her head to look at the mountain. Fu Heng's figure had been dragged by the mountain wind as she headed in her direction. Even though she knew in her heart that he would definitely not be able to clearly see her from so far away, Xu Mingwei still felt a sudden palpitation and didn't dare to turn back.
Xu Mingwei had still not returned late, and when she reached the mountainside, both Xu Minglan and Xu Mingdong had not come back yet. Xu Mingmei was accompanying Lady Liang and talking when she saw her coming down the mountain. She turned her head and laughed, "Seventh Sister is back, is it fun to be at the mountain top? "Look at your messy hair. The wind on the mountain must be very strong. Come over quickly, I'll comb your hair with you again."
However, the Lady Liang said in a strange tone, "A good girl's house should be more dignified, why did you run over to climb on the mountain path, in the end, it caused your Sister Mei to twist her leg."
Xu Mingmei hurriedly defended Xu Mingwei, "Fourth Aunt, it was my idea, it's not related to Seventh Sister at all."
Lady Liang still had a few words to say, but Xu Mingdong and Xu Minglan actually came back together, their faces flushed red. Lady Liang thought that they were hot, and immediately got her wife to fan them, and send a wet handkerchief over, forgetting to care about Xu Mingwei.
Xu Mingwei and Xu Minglan looked at each other and laughed, then stuck their tongues out as if they had just survived a disaster.
Everyone rested for a while on the mountainside. After they finished eating tea, the Lady Liang had the servants pack up their things, and then sat in a sedan chair to get off the mountain. It was only until dusk did they return to the Xu family. After a long day of driving, everyone was tired. They all returned to their own yards without saying anything more.
Xu Mingwei planned to ask Wan Rou to call for dinner, but a wife came from Lady Helan and told him to look for her. Xu Mingwei was too lazy to change her clothes, so she instructed Wan Rong to prepare hot water before following the wife to the courtyard of Lady Helan.
It turned out that someone from the Fu Clan had sent something over. The Lady Helan didn't need to say it, Xu Mingwei knew which Fu Clan member gave it to him. There were small gloves made from deer skin, a collar made entirely out of white fox fur, bits and pieces of charcoal filled with incense, etc. In Xu Mingwei's mind, she immediately recalled the scene of herself holding her hands tightly in her big hands that afternoon.
Lady Helan looked at the interesting object and laughed, "Your future mother-in-law is also very considerate, and the weather is getting cold soon. Although she has these things at home, they are still part of her family, so she kept them with her heart, and you should write back tomorrow to thank her for her good intentions."
After that, without waiting for Xu Mingwei's reply, she got the Nanny Xue to send her out, "You've been playing outside for the whole day, so you're tired. Your Master Fang's body says that it's better now, but we'll start lessons again tomorrow. "
When Xu Mingwei heard the news that Master Fang was slightly better, she was so happy that she forgot about the Fu family. Unfortunately, Lady Helan didn't have any intentions to continue conversing with her, so she could only follow Nanny Xue out of the courtyard.
Perhaps it was because he was really tired, but Xu Mingwei went to bed early this night. Wan Rong heard the commotion and came over, only to see her gasping for breath. She quickly used a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid miss, you're dreaming, just wake up and you'll be fine."
Only then did Xu Mingwei regain her senses. She felt that her front heart and back were all drenched, but her mouth was very dry. Coincidentally, Wan Yi heard that she was also bringing over a cup of warm water the whole night so she took it and drank it too hurriedly.
Wan Yi immediately advised, "Miss, take your time, don't choke on your body."
Wan Rong asked, "What kind of nightmares did you have for you to be so shocked?"
Xu Mingwei was startled, but she could not remember where to look. She was obviously afraid in her dreams, but now she could not remember a thing.
