Chapter 132 Suddenly Feeling Unwell

In a trance, she seemed to see herself when she was younger, and her mind froze for a moment.

"Madam, you seem a little tired. Our elegant VIP lounge is perfect for a short rest. Why don't you follow me and have a cup of fragrant tea and some exquisite pastries?"

She nodded slightly and followed Hu Lianxue into the lounge. The room was filled with a faint scent of incense and someone immediately came forward to serve tea and snacks.

"Could these exquisite pastries be from the famous Baihualou? Everyone says that the pastries are so delicious that passers-by stop and linger. It is a pleasant surprise to have the honor of tasting them today."

She had never expected that a cloth shop could be so considerate and attentive. Not only did they serve fragrant tea and tempting cakes, but she could also leisurely appreciate the other person trying on clothes. If she saw something she liked, she just had to nod and the other person would pack it for her.

Mrs. Nan Rong bought dozens of items in one go, and was reluctant to leave when she left. "I will come back in a while. I will come back to your place. I have gained a lot."

She stared at Hu Lianxue with an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, but in the end she stopped herself from speaking and just looked at her deeply.

After Hu Lianxue left, she didn't know why her heart was beating so fast. She thought to herself, this Madam Nan Rong was so kind to her, as if she were meeting an old friend after a long absence.

She came back to her senses and stopped having wild thoughts. This distinguished guest must be carefully cared for.

Jiang Nianwei happened to see Madam Nanrong leaving, "Do you know which family the lady who just left is from?"

Hu Lianxue arranged her clothes and replied casually, "I heard that he was from some marquis's mansion, but I don't know which one it was."

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly, as if she was regretful: "This is the wife of An Ning Marquis Mansion."

Hu Lianxue stopped what she was doing. An Ning Marquis' Mansion? Isn't that the noble family that she was looking for her relatives before?

It’s a pity that she is not the biological daughter of this family.

She had no intention of recognizing her relatives again. She was very content with her life now. She worked in a cloth shop and was paid well by Miss Jiang.

She often thought that perhaps in a few years, with her unremitting efforts and frugality, she would be able to buy a small courtyard.

At that time, she could settle down there. Although her life would be ordinary, she would be happy and content, which was a kind of perfection.

"Miss Jiang, everything in the world has its destiny. They have found their lost daughter, but my reunion with my biological parents may only be left to fate. Let nature take its course."

Jiang Nianwei seemed to have realized something and whispered: "What you see and hear is often not the whole truth..."

Hu Lianxue's puzzlement was evident in her words. She frowned slightly and asked softly, "What do you mean by that, Miss Jiang? Lianxue is stupid, I hope you can teach me."

"You will understand later. If that lady comes again in the future, you will be the one to entertain her."

"Yes, Miss Jiang, Lianxue has made note of it."

"Don't be so polite, just treat this place as your own home."

Hu Lianxue now lives in the backyard of the cloth shop, which is quite convenient. She doesn't like to go out on weekdays. In her spare time, she likes to plant flowers and plants and read books.

On this day, a wealthy businessman came to choose clothes for his fiancée. When he saw such a beautiful woman like Hu Lianxue, he actually had some unusual thoughts.

He took the opportunity to approach Hu Lianxue, lowered his voice, and said with a hint of temptation: "Miss Hu, you are so beautiful, it is a waste to stay in such a cloth shop, why don't you follow me and leave here."

Hu Lianxue frowned slightly and immediately kept her distance from him, "Mr. Wu, please respect yourself. Your fiancée is still choosing clothes."

"It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. She is my wife and you are my concubine. From now on, my life will be complete. If you are willing, I will buy a shop for you and let you run it."

If it were an ordinary person, they might think this was an opportunity, but Hu Lianxue felt more and more uncomfortable because she didn't like men getting close to her.

At this moment, she didn't dare to break up with him, so she could only say sincerely, "I don't have such thoughts, Mr. Wu, please forgive me."

Master Wu lost face and reached out to grab her hand, "Follow me and you can live a life of luxury, why suffer here?"

As a woman, Hu Lianxue naturally could not resist, but a man next to her reached out in time to stop Mr. Wu's behavior.

"How dare you be so rude to a woman in broad daylight? I think you are really brave. Get out of here right now!"

Upon hearing this, Master Wu's expression changed slightly. His gaze lingered on the other party for a moment, and he finally realized that the other party was not an ordinary person. So he restrained his arrogance, turned around and left angrily, secretly thinking about how to find another opportunity.

Hu Lianxue looked at the figure walking away, secretly feeling lucky and grateful. She whispered to the young man who helped her, "Thank you for your help, I will remember it in my heart."

Fu Rongxuan only came here to pick up his sister's clothes at the request of Miss Jiang, and saw this scene. It was all just a coincidence.

When I looked up, I found that the woman in front of me really had skin as white as cream and eyes as clear as autumn water. She was not dressed outstandingly and had no makeup on, but it was difficult to conceal her stunning beauty.

His heart moved slightly, and after a moment of stunnedness, he quickly regained his usual calmness and humility, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."

Most men in the world judge people by their appearance, but he is not one of them.

At the age of twenty, he is still alone. It is not because of his lack of fate, but because what he desires in his heart is not something that an ordinary beauty can give him.

What he longs for is a partner who can communicate with him spiritually, appreciate the spring flowers and autumn moon together, and go through the ups and downs of life together.

Looking at Fu Rongxuan's leaving back, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although she had the help of Miss Jiang, her appearance was also a hindrance.

If it weren't for this appearance, how could she have encountered those things before.

For several days in a row, she could see Fu Rongxuan coming to the cloth shop, and this day he arrived just at dinner time.

To express her gratitude, Hu Lianxue invited him to stay for dinner. Fu Rongxuan tried to refuse at first, but his stomach started to growl.

"Mr. Fu, there is no need to refuse. Just stay and have some food. I will cook it myself."

She handed over the matters of the cloth shop to other women and led Fu Rongxuan to the backyard.

The backyard is a different world, with many rare flowers and plants planted. It is spring now, and the flowers are blooming so gorgeously that they are dazzling at first glance.

Hu Lianxue rolled up her sleeves lightly, her movements revealing a gentleness and neatness. The vegetables on the table had been washed and cut, waiting for the hot oil in the pot to boil.

Her figure appears softer in the midst of her busyness, complementing the spring scenery in the garden.

"Mr. Fu, please sit here and drink tea. I will be ready soon."

Fu Rongxuan was sitting in the yard. Her busy figure could be seen through the window. After a while, a fragrance wafted over.

Hu Lianxue brought out several dishes at a time, including stir-fried pork with peppers, cold cucumber salad, and eggplant with minced meat.

Fu Rongxuan picked up the chopsticks, and a warm feeling rose in her heart unconsciously, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Hu."

"Mr. Fu, you are too kind. If you hadn't helped me last time, I still don't know what to do. These simple meals are just a token of my gratitude. I hope you don't mind."

However, she still stood quietly by the side, with a hint of restraint in her politeness.

"Mr. Fu, please enjoy your meal. I..."

"Will you not sit down to eat with us?"

Hu Lianxue shook her head. "You are a noble man, and I am just a humble woman. I cannot dine at the same table with you. It would be impolite."

Fu Rongxuan put down his chopsticks and said, "There is no red tape here. You and I are eating at the same table. It's just ordinary friendship."

Hu Lianxue looked embarrassed, but remained motionless.

"If you don't sit down to eat, I won't eat either."

She finally sighed softly and slowly sat down at the table, her movements revealing a sense of reluctance and discomfort.

When eating, he was even more cautious, just lowering his head and concentrating on fiddling with the rice in the bowl, without looking at the delicacies on the table.

Fu Rongxuan said jokingly: "This is your territory, why are you so distant? If you continue like this, I won't come here anymore."

Hu Lianxue raised her head in panic and met his eyes, but saw a smile in his eyes. She lowered her eyes in panic, "I... I just..."

Fu Rongxuan smiled gently: "You are thin, eat more."

She didn't dare look into his eyes again, but her hands trembled slightly.

Fu Rongxuan didn't know that Hu Lianxue was actually afraid of being alone with men, and now she was sitting here, barely enduring it.

Finally, after she took a bite of the food, her face suddenly changed and an indescribable discomfort suddenly hit her.

She was forced to put down her bowl and chopsticks in a hurry. When she stood up, she couldn't help but lean over and dry heave, trying to relieve the sudden discomfort.

Fu Rongxuan thought she was unwell and wanted to help her up, but saw that she was resisting, "Master Fu, please don't come close. I am afraid that my appearance will tarnish your elegance. I am just a little uncomfortable. Just take a rest. You can enjoy your meal in peace. After you finish eating, I will take care of everything.

After saying that, she no longer cared about his gaze and left in a hurry.

She couldn't stay alone with the man for too long, and originally just wanted to express her gratitude to Mr. Fu, so she invited him to stay for dinner, but she didn't expect such an accident to happen.

She touched the fabric in her hand, thinking that once the dress was finished, it would be her way of repaying Mr. Fu's kindness, and she would no longer have any contact with him.

Fu Rongxuan was worried and didn't know what illness Miss Hu was suffering from.

……

In that quiet and elegant villa, Yue Tong strolled among the well-arranged pavilions and towers, and a hint of amazement flashed in her eyes.

"The scenery here is so extravagant, it is not difficult to imagine how magnificent and majestic the legendary An Ning Marquis's Mansion must be."

Thinking of Hu Lianxue, Yue Tong smiled disdainfully, "Hu Lianxue has neither the heart nor the strength to fight for everything that belongs to her, so I will bear this wealth and glory for her."

The old lady not only sent her four personal maids, gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins, but also assigned her several guards.

For the first time, she enjoyed being served and was so happy that she had long forgotten the danger around her.

So what if everyone let her down? She is still living a life of luxury now.

Her temperament became more and more spoiled, but Yuetong felt that she now had the capital to act recklessly.

The old lady asked someone to deliver the letter to Youzhou at full speed, but it was hijacked halfway and immediately sent to Meng Wanran.

She was already upset about the affairs of Princess Mu, and now she saw that something had happened in the An Ning Marquis' Mansion.

She had obviously tried every possible way to get rid of those women, but there was still a fish that slipped through the net, and that fish might very well be the real daughter of the Marquis.

Her eyes were cold, and she was secretly calculating in her mind that this potential hidden danger must be eliminated immediately so that she would have no worries.

Yuetong has been staying in the quiet villa for several days. Although she is served delicious food, she feels more and more bored.

She lifted her skirt slightly and tried to step out of the courtyard, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"Miss, you can't go out. It's very dangerous outside."

"Is it dangerous outside? Don't I know?"

She had been wandering outside for so long, yet she finally arrived in the capital safely.

The guard knelt on the ground, his voice filled with helplessness and pleading: "Miss, please be merciful and understand our responsibility as guards. If you insist on going out, if something goes wrong, the old lady will be furious and we will be punished by thunder."

Yue Tong sneered, "Whether you are punished or not is none of my business. I am leaving today anyway! If you insist on stopping me, you will be punished as well. Aren't you afraid that I will accuse you of molesting me!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, but finally gave way, "Then Miss...would you like us to follow behind you?"

"Of course that's possible."

She was dressed in silk and satin and dressed so beautifully, but she was not doing this for these guards and maids to see, so naturally she had to go out and show off.

Yue Tong first went to the largest restaurant in the capital, ordered a large table of dishes by herself, and tasted only one bite of each dish, which was extremely extravagant and wasteful.

But she was very proud in her heart, and thought to herself: Let's see who dares to underestimate her in the future.

On the other hand, inside Baihua Tower, any movement could not escape the shopkeeper's keen eyes and ears.

Especially those diners with unusual behaviors, they were important information that he passed on to Jiang Nianwei in a timely manner.

Jiang Nianwei came over after hearing the news and saw Yue Tong in the box from a distance.

As expected, she knew Yuetong was unwilling to be ordinary and would try every means to step into the prosperous capital. She also expected that she would take the risk to steal Hu Lianxue's token.

At this moment, looking at Yue Tong's carefully dressed up, it was obvious that she had successfully won the recognition of the old lady of An Ning Marquis' Mansion.

It’s a pity that fake is always fake.

Yue Tong still dared to walk around the city in a swaggering manner, but everything was still under Jiang Nianwei's control.

She took a sip of the tea. The best green tea has a bitter taste, just right.

Shuangshuang was standing aside, feeling dissatisfied and puzzled: "Sister Nianwei, I don't know why you let that woman off so easily. Look at her, she is even more proud now."

"No hurry, I'm afraid she will hide and not come out."

Only if she is so ostentatious, Meng Wanran's people will have a chance.

Now, the old lady and Meng Wanran both think that Yuetong is the real daughter of the Marquis, and Meng Wanran will definitely take action before Marquis An Ning returns.

Yuetong is now the best cover. No one could have imagined that the real daughter of the marquis's mansion is hiding in the cloth shop.
