Chapter 2137 Looks familiar
As if what he feared would come true, Xiao Jingheng heard the noise and turned to look over there, but Shangguan Chu lowered his head. He could only see a beautiful girl supporting her crazy father, and their way seemed to be blocked by the waiter.
"I'll go over and take a look." He was about to stand up when his friend stopped him.
"Jing Heng, why are you going? It was the waiter who bumped into the girl and he was just apologizing. He wasn't looking for trouble. You don't need to intervene."
"Come on, come on, drink."
The young masters pulled him to drink, but Xiao Jingheng's eyes were always fixed on that side. He just felt that the girl's profile looked inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
When I wanted to go over and see it, my friend pulled me back again.
"Jingheng, come on, it's your turn, don't spoil the fun." The wine glass was handed to him, and Shangguan Chu also left in a hurry. When he finished drinking a glass of wine and looked back, the person was gone.
Xiao Jingheng muttered a few words, but didn't take the matter to heart and continued drinking and having fun.
On the other side, Shangguan Chu hurriedly brought the county magistrate back to the mansion with a panic-stricken look. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang happened to be at the gate of the courtyard.
Seeing her so flustered, Wan Shufang felt a little uneasy and immediately asked, "Ah Chu, what's wrong with you? Why are you so flustered?"
Shangguan Chu was slightly startled when he heard the question, and looked at Wan Shufang and said softly: "Madam, I'm fine, I was just chased by a dog just now."
After saying this, she handed the county magistrate to Wan Shufang without waiting for her to ask any more questions, and said calmly, "Madam, please look after my father. I have to go finish the homework assigned by the academy."
Having said that, she didn't bother to say goodbye to the county magistrate and hurried away. Seeing Shangguan Chu like this, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli. When their eyes met, there was a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
"Little girl, you are hiding something from us."
"It's okay. People have to grow up, and you can't always control her." Chen Changli said soothingly, and asked the servants to help the county magistrate back, then he put his arm around Wan Shufang's waist and left.
At this moment, Shangguan Chu returned to the room, still unable to calm down. His heart was pounding, and his mind was still thinking about what had just happened. He wondered if Xiao Jingheng had seen him.
In the county magistrate's room.
After taking the county magistrate's pulse, Wan Shufang prepared a new prescription and handed it to the servant: "Remember to give him this prescription after dinner."
"Yes, ma'am." The servant took the order and left. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Wan Shufang could no longer hold back what she was thinking and grabbed Chen Changli's sleeve.
"Chen Changli, I think we can no longer let Shangguan Chu go to the academy."
"Why?" Chen Changli looked puzzled and reached out to touch her hair: "At that time, you really wanted her to go, why do you suddenly feel like not going now?"
"There seems to be something wrong between Xiao Jingheng and Ah Chu in the academy..." Wan Shufang pursed her lips and slowly told Chen Changli what she saw in the academy.
Finally, she looked at the crazy county magistrate again and said softly, "Now that the county magistrate is so crazy, I don't want his daughter to be kidnapped by another man in the academy because of me."
"After all, as a father, he doesn't even have the right to know, which is not appropriate."
After the words fell, Chen Changli nodded in understanding: "Okay, then let her finish this degree and don't go next time."
"I hope she won't blame us." Wan Shufang sighed. She still remembered how happy Shangguan Chu was when he learned that he could go to the academy.
But this era is different from the modern era. Men and women get married according to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. She cannot let Shangguan Chu's life change drastically because of her own selfishness.
The two made the decision, but did not tell Shangguan Chu, planning to tell her later, when the vacation was over and Shangguan Chu returned to the academy again.
But he was stopped by Xiao Jingheng at the door. He looked Shangguan Chu up and down with a sharp gaze, and then asked tentatively: "Brother Shangguan, I saw a woman who looked very similar to you the other day."
"Do you have a twin sister?"
Ever since they parted at the restaurant that day, the outline of that beautiful girl appeared in Xiao Jingheng's mind every day, and he couldn't forget her, so he came to the academy early in the morning to wait for Shangguan Chu.
Shangguan Chu's heart trembled when he mentioned what happened that day, but he still pretended to be calm: "I have a distant cousin who looks very similar to me. Brother Xiao may have seen her."
"I see." Xiao Jingheng's eyes lit up, he reached out to hold Shangguan Chu, and gently shook her sleeves: "Brother Shangguan, I feel like I've known your cousin since I saw her, and I want to get to know her."
He chuckled, and Shangguan Chu immediately understood his intention. He felt a little disappointed, but in order to avoid the topic, he still perfunctorily agreed: "Okay, if there is a chance another day, I will help you make an appointment with her."
"Thank you, Brother Shangguan."
Xiao Jingheng smiled and was about to enter the academy with her.
At this moment, several noblemen suddenly came over and looked at Shangguan Chu with a mocking expression: "Hey, isn't this the first place winner of the poetry competition?"
"What do you mean by first place? He is just a relative who got into Qingyun Academy for no apparent reason."
"That's right, we can't even find out his origins. I don't know how shameful he is. Which mountain did he come from?"
Several people talked to each other, showing disgust and ridicule for Shangguan Chu's background.
On the first day Shangguan Chu entered the academy, these people went to check on him, but because of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang, they could not find out Shangguan Chu's true identity no matter how hard they tried.
Therefore, they also suspected that Shangguan Chu entered the academy through the back door and looked down on her.
Seeing Shangguan Chu's face turn red due to the ridicule, the nobleman in front of him rolled his eyes and immediately asked: "Shangguan Chu, you are very angry, why don't you tell us, who are you?"
"Why should I tell you?" Shangguan Chu glanced at the other party coldly, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Mochen.
He whistled, looking like a dandy, and smiled wickedly at Shangguan Chu.
"Don't dare to say?"
"Shangguan Chu, you are not really a wild child, are you? You have no father or mother, or are your parents both wild people?"
"Were you raised by savages? Are they like crazy, picking up leftovers everywhere to eat, hahaha." Liu Mochen laughed wantonly and unceremoniously, humiliating Shangguan Chu with words.
After hearing these words, Shangguan Chu originally wanted to endure it and didn't want to cause trouble for Wan Shufang, but he didn't expect Liu Mochen to go further and further.
He even cursed her parents.
"Liu Mochen, shut up!"
She couldn't stand it any longer and shouted angrily with red eyes.
Seeing her angry, Liu Mochen became even more excited: "Why, I was right, are your wild parents dead? I'll burn some paper money for them."
"what!"
Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Chu suddenly rushed over and bumped into his stomach.
In an instant, Liu Mochen lost his balance and fell into the pond with a splash, splashing countless water onto Shangguan Chu's red and delicate little face.
