Chapter 1465 Pride and Prejudice and the Escort Agency
There is a ten-mile wind pavilion outside the city.
Surrounded by green trees and red flowers, it is early summer now, and everything is growing lushly, with any single tree growing as tall as half a person.
It is beautiful, and in this remote place, it is also like what people in later generations often call a "green gauze tent".
Shi Li rode his horse to the outside of the pavilion, but didn't see anyone. He thought he had arrived too early, so he tied his horse to a tree trunk nearby and walked into the pavilion to sit down.
Looking around, there was lush green all around, and not a single person in sight.
For some reason, both the barrage and her heart felt that something was wrong.
According to Luo Qingyan's temper, he should have come early. Shi Li was afraid that he would wait for a long time, so she went out early as well. Unexpectedly, she didn't see him.
Could it be that something delayed him?
Shi Li frowned slightly, but was not too nervous. She lowered her eyes and smoothed the wrinkled hem of her skirt.
A cool breeze blew by, and the rich fragrance of flowers and plants filled the air.
"Why haven't you come yet..." Shi Li pursed her lips and looked towards the path leading to the city.
She didn't know that Luo Qingyan hadn't received the letter at all, let alone knew that she had asked him to meet here.
He was still struggling in the inn, wondering whether he should go to Wenchang Escort Agency today to find an excuse to see her. But he was afraid that he would be disliked, so he was very conflicted.
Boom boom boom!
The innkeeper knocked on the door, and after getting permission, he pushed it open with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Master Luo, the two little beggars from yesterday are here again. They are clamoring to see you outside and we won't drive them away no matter how hard we try!" The waiter felt a little resentful, thinking that Luo Qingyan had caused trouble for himself and the inn.
Luo Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
Yesterday the two kids ran faster than rabbits. Could it be that they suddenly figured it out today and came to him for help?
He couldn't help but guess, so he went downstairs and walked out of the inn, and saw the two little boys he had seen yesterday.
They seemed to be extremely anxious and kept turning in circles on the spot.
One of them was sharp-eyed and immediately became excited when he saw Luo Qingyan coming out.
"Your fiancée is about to be kidnapped!"
Luo Qingyan's expression changed immediately.
Without even having time to ask what was going on, he snatched a horse from the side and ran straight out of the city, not daring to waste even a second.
Only the two little beggars were left standing there staring at each other in bewilderment.
It turned out that after the two of them ran away yesterday, they did not go far, but stayed nearby, thinking of taking Luo Qingyan's money and secretly helping him do something.
They have often done such things before. Although they may be misunderstood sometimes, it is better than accepting charity from others for nothing.
As luck would have it, this morning they actually ran into the errand boy who had lost all his money in the underground gambling house.
The servant was holding a cheap jar of wine in his hand and was drunk. When he passed by the inn, he took a look and took a big gulp of wine with a jealous look on his face.
After drinking it, he burst into laughter again, muttering hatefully while laughing.
"What's the point of having money at Baiyuan Villa! You're going to be cuckolded soon! Ugh!"
"When that bitch Shi Li becomes a fallen woman, I wonder if you can still be so proud."
The two little boys felt something was wrong when they heard him talk, so they followed him all the way. They saw him walk back to the alley he had been to yesterday, banging on the door but failing to break it open. Finally, he passed out drunk outside, muttering more inside stories.
In order to inform Luo Qingyan, the two of them jogged all the way back to the inn and were almost stopped by the inn's waiter.
At this time, the owner of the manor and others who heard the noise also came out.
Xun Xi politely invited the two little boys into the inn, and after asking them what had happened, his expression became extremely solemn.
"The owner of the village..."
The owner of the manor looked even uglier than him, "You dare to set your sights on my daughter-in-law? You must want to die!"
