As for Xie Miao and Fu Lu, they first heard a man cursing from above their heads, then little Yanzi, alarmed, drove them away, and Jiang Rong threw away the food in her hand and ran towards them.
They had been master and servant for many years and had extraordinary tacit understanding. They held hands and ran to the right together. Just when they ran half a meter away, they heard a loud bang behind them!
The two looked back in shock, only to see a celadon vase falling where they had been standing, with fragments splattered everywhere.
From upstairs came the sounds of a man and a woman quarrelling and swearing.
"You shrew, just talk if you want to. Why are you throwing things? That vase is worth three taels of silver!"
"More than just a vase, I'm going to smash everything in the house to teach you a lesson! I've been married to you for more than ten years, I've given birth to your children, I've been filial to my parents, I've taken care of the household chores, and you, you bastard, actually dared to change your mind and want to take in a whore as a concubine!"
"How dare you say that? Do you think I don't know that you mistreat my mother in private? Since you can't serve my mother well, I will find someone to share your burden. Whether you agree today or not, I will take Hongliu in as my concubine!"
"Okay, if you dare to take her in, I will hang myself in front of your house tomorrow and turn into a ghost to haunt you for eternity!"
The couple was arguing so fiercely that they were completely unaware that the vase they had just thrown almost caused disaster to others.
Jiang Rong had already rushed to Xie Miao's side, and escorted them to a safe place. Immediately afterwards, she went in the direction of the house with a cold face.
"Jiang Rong, forget it." Xie Miao shook her head at her, "I was careless and just stood under someone else's house."
Jiang Rong glanced at the second floor and had to give up for the time being.
"Madam!" Little Yanzi also ran over breathlessly, "Are you okay?"
Xie Miao said sincerely: "Little Yanzi, thank you, you saved me again."
Little Yanzi said helplessly: "I have met you twice in total, and you encountered setbacks both times. Your luck is really bad."
Who says it's not?
Xie Miao looked at her flower basket, which was filled with fresh water hyacinths and had a ribbon tied around the handle that was the same colour as her dress.
Xie Miao said: "This flower is so beautiful."
"Do you like it?" Little Yanzi handed over the basket without saying anything. "Take it. It's all for you."
Xie Miao didn't answer, and asked: "You have helped me time and time again, and even give me flowers, how can I accept them?"
Little Yanzi said: "You treated me to a big meal last time and also prepared a lot of dry food for me."
Xie Miao said: "That was a thank you gift from last time. It no longer counts. We have to count it again today. How about this, I accept your flowers, and treat you to lunch as a thank you, okay?"
She spoke softly, and little Yanzi couldn't resist and nodded reluctantly, "Well, okay then."
*
This time, little Yanzi refused to go to the restaurant again, claiming that he had something urgent to do, so he just picked a rice noodle stall to make do.
