The flickering candlelight didn't answer him, and the watery stillness of the night ignored his hesitation, leaving him like a struggling bug stuck in a spider's web. He didn't know how to struggle, he didn't know how to deal with the regret caused by the huge pain in his heart, and he didn't know how to face his little sister who had been destroyed at the hands of others.
The eldest brother, Feisinian, once sat beside his bed when he was injured for a long time and his condition worsened day by day. He looked at him with the same pity as a perpetrator and said to him in a mute voice.
"Self-blame is a sin, and this sin cannot be redeemed if you want to. But all we can do now is not to live up to it, and then live strong..."
The carriage stopped at some point. Zhishu, who came to open the door, bowed and stood outside the carriage door respectfully.
"Third Master."
Fei Ran quickly pulled his thoughts away from his memories, got out of the carriage without saying a word, and walked towards the inn where he would stay tonight. However, when he arrived at the inn lobby, another valet had already arrived and stood behind him.
"What's the matter?" Ignoring the people in the lobby who recognized the Emperor's carriage and recognized his identity, they were whispering to him. He, who had long taken this scene for granted after traveling in the world for many years, asked quietly behind him.
"A greeting card for the Lord of Nanji City." Da Li quickly handed over a freshly baked greeting card that had just arrived in his hands.
Greetings?Fei Ran raised his eyebrows in displeasure.
He has just arrived at Nanji City, and he has just arrived at the place where he will stay. Now he has a greeting card?Should it be said that the owner of the invitation was too proactive and had found out his whereabouts very well, or should it be said that the owner of the invitation had been secretly paying attention to him for a long time, so he was so impatient?
"The city lord is hosting a banquet for his beloved daughter's birthday tomorrow night, and invites you to visit her." Seeing that Fei Ran didn't even look at the greeting card in his hand, Da Li could only whisper the content.
"Pushed."
Da Li calmly recalled his thoughts, "Third Master, I don't know something. This Nanji City Lord's mansion has many guests. The person we are looking for, I heard... has a close friendship with a certain disciple in the mansion, and we even had a drink together a few months ago."
Feiran turned around suddenly, "Where did this news come from?"
"The young master of the Wen family gave it to him for free." Da Li looked at his face carefully, "It's because the third master gave the two soul papers so happily." As a model businessman, the young master of the Wen family heard that his consistent philosophy in doing business is to be kind to others.
As soon as the words "young master of the Wen family" came into his ears, Fei Ran immediately felt a feeling of depression in his chest that he couldn't spit out or swallow.It is said that businessmen value profit and speculate, and they have traveled around the world for many years. He has never seen anyone who knows how to deceive people better than Wen Jin, who knows how to poach people for their own benefits, but does not forget to leave a way for them to meet in the future... But doesn't the young man of the Wen family know that compared with the free news, the news he bought at the cost of two soul papers suddenly seemed insignificant?
"Third Master?" Da Li, who was still waiting for his answer, looked at his Third Master with some fear, who always wore a mask in front of others, and was so angry that he almost couldn't maintain the illusion of being always gentle and polite.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Choose a birthday gift and have a banquet tomorrow night."
"Yes."
He had to be grateful for the grace after being cheated. Yi Yi was sulking secretly. Zhi Shu who was following him quickly led him to the guest room as if facing a formidable enemy. Da Li took this opportunity to contact his subordinates to arrange things for tomorrow night and Yan. Being used to this, he didn't even have to think about how old-fashioned the scene would be tomorrow night for the birthday banquet of Prince Fu Ran and Yan, the prince of the original country.
In fact, just as Da Li had expected, when Fei Ran brought them to the city lord's palace the next day, they were greeted with surprises and astonishment on the faces of the guests present and at the banquet. At the banquet, the lord of Nanji City, Zhou Caoyan, who hosted the birthday banquet, had the most dazzling smile on his face.
Fei Ran was very impatient to come to such an occasion but had to come. After dismissing waves of guests with a fake smile who came to make friends or come to meet relatives, he just sat down to enjoy the singing and dancing of the actors on the stage. Not long after, he felt a burning gaze.
The performers on the stage singing Jiangnan tunes disappeared at some point, and were replaced by dancers with thin clothes and good figures who made everyone in the audience shine.
[The impure description in this paragraph has been deleted, I am extremely sorry]
Is that woman afraid that she won't be able to disgust him?She also didn't want to think about it, that she was still a girl who had not left the court, and she didn't care about her reputation at all, so she glared at him with greedy eyes on such occasions.You can see that the ladies sitting next to her were all frowning and wishing they could sit farther away from her, but she seemed to be unable to see the reaction, still looking at him with eyes that wanted to devour him alive.
"Nanji City's folk customs are so disgusting?" Fei Ran threw down the white ivory chopsticks in his hand. He had not eaten anything during the dinner and now he had no appetite at all.
Zhi Shupi said with a smile, "Aren't they all manipulated by a certain city lord?" Dare you take advantage of his third master?The lady of the city lord who thinks she is superior, she doesn't understand how mysophobic and petty the third master of his family is.
"I heard that the Lord of the City has been very close to the Xiyuan Kingdom recently?" Fei Ran turned his eyes and looked at Nanji and the officials at the banquet. He saw that not only were they completely accustomed to the overly fragrant singing and dancing on the stage, but they also each hugged a singer or dancer on the left and right, openly reveling in front of him, the Prince Ran, who was born in the Imperial Palace.
Zhishu slowly looked at the guests at the banquet with the eyes of a dead person, "Not only that, there seems to be someone in the Xiyuan Kingdom who is trying to smooth things over for him."
"He plans to rebel against my original country?"
"According to the spies' report, no definite evidence has been found so far." However, after tonight, perhaps no evidence will be needed.
Da Li, who had gone to prepare everything before the banquet started, just when Feiran couldn't hold back his temper and wanted to leave, quietly came behind him and reported in a low voice, while Zhishu on the side quickly pressed down Feiran's hand when he picked up the wine glass on the table and wanted to drink.
"Third Master." Zhishu glared at him with a frown.
Fei Ran brushed his hand away nonchalantly, raised the wine glass in his hand that was obviously mixed with good ingredients and shook it. The amber liquid swirled around and around in the glass, turning into a charming and seductive color under the many candlelights in the hall.
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then calmly said: "Since you have already set your sights on me, why not do something good and make them happy?"
Zhishu had a gloomy face and calmly glanced at Zhou Fei across the way from the corner of his eye. When he saw her triumphant look on her face as she walked away from the table, he slowly clenched his fists.
"I'll make arrangements right away." Zhengchou couldn't find an excuse to attack them, so now he could save any effort.
So, with Fei Ran's deliberate permission, as a guest at the table and famous all over the world, Young Master Yuan Guoran got drunk at the table as a matter of course, and was helped to the guest room to rest by the attentive and thoughtful servants of the city lord's palace. However, Young Master Ran's attendants were naturally invited out of the guest house to replace Young Master Ran to deal with the servants sent by various guests to inquire about the situation.
It was late at night and people were still quiet. The dancers in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion were still dancing gracefully, causing a lively scene. In the guest courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, it was as quiet as a silent temptation.
After leaving the girl and mother-in-law with her outside the guest room, Zhou Fei pushed open the door of the guest room and quietly entered, then closed the door tightly. She had been plotting for a long time and looked at Fei Ran who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed and panting, with an abnormal blush on her face.
What is Mr. Ran who is famous all over the world and is as good as jade?I thought it would be so difficult to get it, but after drinking several cups of yellow soup, wouldn’t it still be easy for her to get it?
Walking proudly to the bedside, Zhou Fei sat down next to Fei Ran who seemed to be uncomfortable. She lowered her head and looked at his face that had attracted the hearts of so many beauties from all over the world. She raised the corners of her lips proudly.
