Zuo Xingyu’s mouth twitched!
Cracks seemed to appear on his usually calm face.
“I never thought that a high fever could change a person so much. It truly makes me see you in a new light!”
Upon hearing these words, Liu Sisi immediately remembered what her second sister had said, that her breaking the engagement was the result of the other party’s coercion!
Immediately, her face turned ugly.
She looked at the man in front of her with a critical gaze.
The chuan character formed by his long furrowed eyebrows seemed as if it could squash a mosquito, that is, if there were any mosquitoes at this time. A long, black horse face made his age unclear, and with his furrowed brows, he looked older than Di Yelei. His dark clothes at a glance were not well-cared for, and his pair of cloth shoes had a small hole that had not been repaired.
However, despite all this, his strong presence still made her unable to ignore him!
It seemed that he noticed her gaze, and Zuo Xingyu quietly pulled his feet under the table, coughing lightly.
“Ha ha! Having a constable admire me is truly a fortune for me, Liu Sisi!”
Liu Sisi’s mouth curled up high, her face filled with mockery.
She really scoffed at him!
“What do you mean by that?” Zuo Xingyu’s eyes flashed.
“Constable Zuo, aren’t you asking knowingly? Wasn’t it because of you that Sisi went through such a disaster? You just turned around and forgot about it. It’s true that nobles are forgetful!” Liu Sisi scolded and criticized him, not giving him a good look at all.
He was the one who forced her to break the engagement, and after she lost her memory, he didn’t clarify but let her misunderstand. His face was really thick!
“So you already knew, but unfortunately…”
Zuo Xingyu’s eyes flashed, and he tapped on the table lightly: “Liu Sisi, have you forgotten that you said those words yourself? I never admitted it.”
“But you didn’t deny it, did you?” Liu Sisi became more and more aggrieved.
She stood up lightly, propped herself up to jump to the chair by the windowsill, and distanced herself from him: “I heard a joke a few days ago. I don’t know if Constable Zuo wants to hear it?”
“No! I don’t have the leisure time to chat with you.”
Zuo Xingyu rejected her without a thought.
Liu Sisi was choked and she laughed coldly: “Since you don’t have any leisure time, why are you sitting here now?”
“I naturally have something to ask.”
Zuo Xingyu’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter: “You losing your past memories is definitely a good thing, believe me! If your past memories come back, you would hate not being able to forget everything.”
He spoke far more words today than usual.
Those memories weren’t hers, so why would she hate it?
Liu Sisi sneered: “By the way, Sisi hasn’t asked Constable Zuo yet. What is the rationale for secretly meeting with your ex-fiancée in someone else’s guest room during daylight? Did you rediscover how good Sisi is, so you changed your mind?” Her mouth corner carried an indiscernible sneer.
Weren’t you, Zuo Xingyu, so arrogant? You broke the engagement with the original owner and now you’re sticking to her again. What’s the reason?
On the other side.
As soon as Di Yelei left the crowd, he quickly learned the whereabouts of the two children through his colleagues and hurried to find them.
This was due to the fact that this place happened to be the official residence of the County Magistrate Su, and although there were important figures coming and going, the servants who helped in the garden were mostly the governmental office’s runners, whom Di Yelei mostly knew.
He quickly walked towards the location of the two children, passing through a long corridor. Just as he was about to step onto a small bridge, a familiar figure suddenly appeared on the left side of the rockery ahead and quickly entered an archway.
That figure just now was…
Di Yelei was startled! Then he retracted his steps and quickly followed the figure.
Although the figure was not slow, the official residence was not very large, yet the person kept going in circles. Just as Di Yelei was about to give up several times, the figure in front slowed down and stopped.
It was then that Di Yelei took a closer look and found that this place was the back door of the official residence. Exiting the back door would lead to a main road on North Main Street in the county town.
In just a moment, he saw someone enter from the back door and exchange whispered words with the person. Then the person left the back door again.
Di Yelei was shocked in his heart. He had seen that person somewhere before, but he couldn’t remember where.
He was about to quietly retreat when the figure suddenly turned his head and looked straight at the place where Di Yelei was hiding.
At the same time, it allowed Di Yelei to see the other party’s face clearly. It was actually Nan Tianzong!
“Come out! Don’t hide anymore!”
Nan Tianzong called out to him openly.
“I never thought that you hid so deeply. It turns out you are also a martial artist!”
Di Yelei walked out from his hiding place, his eyes filled with deep caution! The fact that the Nan Tianzong in front of him knew martial arts was really beyond his expectation!
Nan Tianzong smiled slightly: “Tianzong has been weak since childhood, and my mother invited a teacher to teach me the teachings of Confucius and Mencius. While learning, I also strengthened my body. Just like Brother-in-Law Di, although you go hunting, you can also read, right?”
His words left Di Yelei speechless! It was not unusual for a scholar to know martial arts, but he had never shown it!
“Indeed, there’s nothing unusual. It’s just that Di has never heard Sisi mention it. It’s just curiosity.”
Nan Tianzong had a calm expression on his face: “On the contrary, Brother-in-Law Di, what are you doing hiding here? I came here because I had forgotten a gift at home and asked someone to bring it. Why are you here, Brother-in-Law Di? You didn’t follow Tianzong all the way to this place, did you?”
He had his usual gentle and elegant smile on his face.
“Not at all! Yelei came here to find the two children and was afraid of accidentally entering the backyard of the inner courtyard. He was hesitating when he saw Boss Nan.”
Di Yelei’s face also had a smile.
Their gazes met in midair, both of them seemed to be smiling harmoniously, but there were sparks flying secretly.
“So, you’re looking for Xuan’er and YingEr? They should be playing in the garden. It’s getting late, and I should go back to the front yard. Today is both the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet and the Laba Festival, and I can’t be late. Please feel free to look for them!”
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
“Alright, alright!”
As he watched the departing figure, Di Yelei’s smile disappeared from his face.
Where had he seen that person before? He couldn’t remember the flash of memory that had crossed his mind.
