Seeing this, Ye Yunzhou didn't chase after him. Coincidentally, there was a fallen branch in front of him, about the thickness and length of a child's arm. Ye Yunzhou lightly raised his toes, picked up the dead tree, and kicked it hard. The dead tree shot towards Ye Yi like an arrow, hitting Ye Yi's buttocks fiercely.
Ye Yi screamed "Ah" and then covered his buttocks with his hands. His running posture was distorted, but he did not dare to stop.
Ye Yunzhou snorted coldly, then he was too lazy to pay attention to the jumping monkey and turned back to the horse training camp.
.........
On this side, Zhuangzi has been wandering outside Luo Shuiyao's yard since he came back. He didn't know how to talk to the young lady when he went in. He hesitated for a long time and didn't notice the footsteps gradually approaching him.
From a distance, Luo Shuiyao spotted someone milling around the courtyard gate like a headless fly. Only when she got closer did she see it was Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi had been helping Liu Yu with the maltose issue for the past two days; it was rare to see him so free.
"What are you doing here?" Luo Shuiyao asked in confusion after seeing that she had been standing here for a long time and Zhuangzi hadn't noticed her.
"Oh my god!" Zhuangzi jumped in fright and took a few steps back, gasping for breath. "Miss, when did you come? Why is there no sound? You scared me."
Zhuangzi was afraid that Luo Shuiyao would ask him more questions about why he was acting so secretly, so he decided to complain first.
Luo Shuiyao naturally saw through his thoughts, but she just smiled slightly and didn't respond to his words. Instead, she asked, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Cough cough,"
Zhuangzi cleared his throat, raised his head and chest, and assumed a normal posture. He tried to speak in a calmer tone, saying, "Today, when I was helping to carry malt sugar, I heard someone say there's a horse training camp nearby with many fine horses. I was really curious, so I wanted to ask if you could accompany me to take a look?"
Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao raised her eyebrows and said in a quiet tone, "Is that really all?"
It wasn't that she was suspicious. Zhuangzi's sudden arrival today, his demeanor, and his words were suspicious. Looking closely, even though his face was covered by a veil and his expression was unclear, she could still see the redness on both sides of his ears, clearly indicating a lie.
But Luo Shuiyao couldn't understand why Zhuangzi would lie to her. Based on her understanding of Zhuangzi, he shouldn't have harmed her. This was strange.
Zhuangzi was already feeling guilty, and when he heard Luo Shuiyao's voice, he felt even more guilty. He was afraid that Luo Shuiyao would notice something was wrong.
But he still pretended to be calm and said, "As a man, I have a special curiosity about galloping on the battlefield, archery, and riding horses. Miss, you should know this, right?"
Zhuangzi looked very calm and composed, and his tone was extremely serious. As he spoke, he nodded seriously, as if what he said was the absolute truth.
Luo Shuiyao smiled, and for some reason, she suddenly lost the desire to argue with him. Well, then, she'd just go along with him and see what this manor was up to. "Okay, then when are we going to go take a look?"
Zhuangzi thought Luo Shuiyao had refused, and was thinking about how to persuade her. He kept muttering, "The horses over there are so fast. You haven't ridden a horse before, right? You can go and try it."
After he finished speaking, it took him a few seconds to realize what Luo Shuiyao had just said. He quickly said, "Wait, Miss, did you agree just now?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded again and said, "I agree. When are we going?"
Zhuangzi heard this and his face was filled with unconcealable joy. He said eagerly, "Let's go now."
Having said that, he walked out quickly in high spirits, and motioned Luo Shuiyao to follow him.
Luo Shuiyao didn't say much, but just followed him out silently. Looking at his joyful back, she felt that his series of actions were strange and suspicious.
Zhuangzi was so happy that he just walked out quickly and didn't notice Luo Shuiyao looking at him at all. He secretly thought that this young lady was really easy to please and felt really lucky.
After they left the villa, Zhuangzi noticed Luo Shuiyao's pace slowed down. He then realized that he had been so happy that he hadn't noticed he was walking too fast. So he also hurriedly slowed down his pace and even stepped back half a step, standing behind Luo Shuiyao. He bowed slightly towards her, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Miss, please."
Luo Shuiyao couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, just go ahead and lead the way. After all, I don't know where you are going, right?" She looked at Zhuangzi's belated realization and found it very funny.
"Oh, yes." Zhuangzi scratched his head with an embarrassed smile on his face.
The two of them walked, stopping and starting, for a while before arriving at the neighboring villa. Zhuangzi went forward and knocked on the door, while Luo Shuiyao stood a little further away, examining it carefully. They saw that the villa next door was much larger than their own, and the walls were more than twice as high. The overall appearance was quite grand, not like an ordinary villa, but rather like the mansion of a wealthy family.
Luo Shuiyao glanced at Zhuangzi who was knocking on the door again, and suddenly a thought popped up in her mind: Is this guy going to sell her out?
Zhuangzi had no idea that Luo Shuiyao had such an outrageous idea. He knocked on the door twice, and when no one answered, he lay down at the crack of the door and wanted to take a look inside. Suddenly, there was a "creak" sound, and the door was opened. Zhuangzi staggered and almost fell to the ground.
It was Ye Yi who opened the door.
After Ye Yunzhou hit him on the butt, Ye Yi jumped and ran all the way back to the villa. He had been avoiding Ye Yunzhou, but he was still found by him, and he ordered Ye Yi to wait at the main gate to bring people in.
Ye Yi walked towards this side with a grin on his face, wondering in his heart who the person who was coming was.
Ye Yi was just thinking about it when he heard someone knocking at the door. He hurried forward to open the door and saw the scene in front of him. He subconsciously reached out to help, which saved Zhuangzi from falling flat on his face.
After helping Zhuangzi steady himself, Ye Yi took a closer look and saw that it was Zhuangzi. He said, "I thought the prince wanted me to pick someone up, but it turned out to be you."
Zhuangzi hadn't even stood firmly yet. When he heard what Ye Yi said, he didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he quickly winked at him, signaling him not to say anything more.
Seeing him like this, Ye Yi was even more shocked and confused. He couldn't help asking, "What happened? Did you not fall just now, but had a stroke instead? Why are your mouth and eyes crooked?"
