Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Chapter 225 It’s Mr. Cai

Shen Nankui opened it and saw only the three words "Look Up" written on it.

She looked up and saw that this place was in a busy city, with people walking on the street and hawking sounds everywhere. There was nothing unusual around.

Is this someone's prank?

"Who threw this paper ball?"

Zheng Hui said: "I didn't see it clearly. As we were walking, Lian Qi suddenly raised his hand and I saw him catch the paper ball."

Lian Qi is the most skilled among the few people, but he cannot speak because he suffered a serious throat injury in the army in his early years. At this moment, he is shaking his head with a serious expression.

He had been with him for so long, but this was the first time Shen Nankui saw this expression on his face.

Zheng Yue also frowned, "Madam, we didn't even see the shadow of the person who threw the paper ball, but he was able to throw it accurately. He must be very skilled in martial arts. I don't know if he has any bad intentions. We should go back quickly."

Strong martial arts?

Shen Nankui seemed to be thinking about something. He asked someone to stop the carriage on the side of the road, then he leaned his head slightly out of the window and looked up.

What did this person want her to see when he asked her to look up?

The first time, she glanced at the street and saw nothing unusual.

The second time, she looked around the sky, but apart from a few birds flying by not far away, she could not see anything else.

Shen Nankui thought about it and got out of the car.

After looking around, I found that in front of the carriage was the most famous restaurant in Yongzhou City, "Shuiyunlou". The reason why Shuiyunlou is so famous is that in addition to the delicious food and mellow wine, there is another feature, that is, this restaurant is five stories high. Standing on the top floor, you can overlook most of the streets of Yongzhou, so it is so popular. Literati and elegant guests are best to drink, write poetry, and discuss things under the sky in this building.

Looking at the tall building in front of him, Shen Nankui had an idea.

Could it be?

She raised her head and looked towards the top of Shuiyun Tower.

She looked very carefully at the windows on every floor, all the way to the fifth floor.

It was too far away, so she couldn't see clearly, but the white clothes and the elegant and noble figure were very familiar to her.

He Hua had already called out, pointing to the top floor window and said, "Over there, it's Mr. Cai!"

The person on the top floor seemed to be looking at them as well. After exchanging a glance with Shen Nankui, he left the window.

I think the paper ball that appeared out of nowhere just now must have been thrown by him.

Shen Nankui had always wanted to say thank you to Cai Ling in person, but she had not heard any news about him for such a long time. Now that he was right in front of her, she naturally had to go up and meet him.

Zheng Hui also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cai Ling.

"So it's Mr. Cai, then it's all right. But if he wants to see the lady, why doesn't he just come down? Why did he bring a paper ball here? Is he trying to test our defense?"

Zheng Yue had a smile in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that he thought so too.

Both brothers trust Cai Ling very much.

When Cai Ling was living in Deshui Lane, he would give the brothers some pointers in his spare time. Over the past six months, the two of them have improved their martial arts a lot, so they are very grateful to him.

"Since Mr. Cai is upstairs, let's go over and take a look." Shen Nankui said with a smile.

After she gave the order, several people naturally obeyed. Only Zheng Hui was left there watching the carriage, and the rest of them went into Shuiyun Tower.

All the way to the fifth floor, just as he was about to walk up the stairs, Lian Qi's expression suddenly changed, and he stretched out his hand to grab the void on the right side of Shen Nankui.

After a moment, he opened his palm, and there was another ball of paper inside.

Looking around, there was no one in the corridor on the fifth floor.

Zheng Yue sighed, "As expected of Mr. Cai, he is so solid inside that he can throw a paper ball so far away without anyone noticing."

Shen Nankui opened the paper ball and saw that it said "One person, Xianqin Pavilion".

The fifth floor of Shuiyun Tower is full of private rooms of the highest standards. Each room has its own name, and Xianqin Pavilion is one of them.

He Hua looked puzzled, "Mr. Cai, do you have something to say to Madam alone?"

Shen Nankui couldn't guess his intention and shook his head, "Maybe."

Zheng Yue said: "Then Madam, go ahead. We will wait for you at the door."

Although this was against the rules, he had been with Cai Ling for a long time and knew that he was a kind and honest person, so he was relieved.

"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go."

Several people walked to the outside of Xianqin Pavilion. Shen Nankui was about to push the door, but Lian Qi suddenly stretched out his arm to stop her and shook his head at her.

Shen Nankui smiled faintly, "It's okay, Lian Qi, you have also met Mr. Cai. He is my good friend and has done me a favor. He will not have any ill will towards me."

Lian Qi hesitated for a moment, then put his hand down, remembering that his master had praised Cai Ling many times.

Shen Nankui pushed the door open, walked around the screen, and saw the figure leaning against the window.

Cai Ling's white clothes were whiter than snow, and he was still as graceful as ever, but the way he leaned against the window railing had a hint of laziness that was not there before.

"Mr. Cai." Shen Nankui called with a smile.

Cai Ling looked back at her but didn't say anything.

But for some reason, there seemed to be a hint of frost and coldness hidden in this indifferent glance, and even a hint of disgust?

disgust?

Shen Nankui was startled by her own thought for a moment and thought, could it be that she had seen it wrong?

She calmed herself down and continued, "Mr. Cai, I have not seen you for a long time. I have always regretted not being able to thank you in person. Last time I was in danger, it was thanks to you that you rushed to Yongzhou to help me. Otherwise, I would not have been able to save Gong Xia and repay his kindness by myself. Ah Nao was able to be born safely, thanks to you protecting the peace of the house in Deshui Lane."

"Although you have always said that old friends don't need to thank each other, but you have done so much for me. If I don't say thank you, I will feel bad. And Yichuan, he also appreciates your help..."

"Bang" sound.

It was the sound of Cai Ling slamming the teacup in his hand heavily on the windowsill.

Just by looking at the back, one could tell that the person in front of him seemed to be in a very unhappy mood. Shen Nankui was slightly stunned, stopped talking, and spoke tentatively.

"Mr. Cai, I wonder where you have been during this period. Did something happen?"

Cai Ling finally looked at her, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Shen Nankui's expression changed.

I only heard him say: "After talking so much nonsense, you finally know how to care about others?"

Shen Nankui changed his expression for no other reason than that although the person in front of him had the appearance of Cai Ling, his voice was totally wrong when he spoke. The person in front of him had a feminine tone and a frivolous and playful look in his expression. Apart from the face that looked like Cai Ling, everything else didn't match.

Only then did she realize that she had been tricked and tried to call for help, but her voice was gone.

When I turned my head to the side, I saw that the incense burner with green branches and flowers on the triangular incense table was indeed emitting a wisp of white smoke.

Catching her gaze, Cai Ling smiled softly, "Not bad, you react very quickly."
