Queen of flowers - Chapter 28

Feng Liao Visited her again.

When she saw Feng Liao, Yong Ruo was surprised, she thought that the two would no longer intersect, unless she asked him for help using the famous name post.

When Feng Liao left last time, she clearly made up her mind and said goodbye to him silently!

“Young master,do you need something?” Yong Ruo grasped the slightly opened door with both hands, blocking him at the door.

Such body language gives people a strong feeling of “I don’t welcome you”-Yong Ruo had that kind of reaction when lady Jin came with a bowl of soup to take advantage of her.

 Feng Liao coughed a little uncomfortably, then put his hands behind his back, raised his chin, and said proudly, “Can’t I come in?”

Yong Ruo smiled gently, “How could it be? This girl was just a little surprised.” She opened the door wide, and made a gesture, “Young master, please!”

Feng Liao walked in and said, “Well, your plum blossoms are so good! The flower that I brought back to the vase was snatched by others. So I came for another one.”

 Yong Ruo couldn’t help but smile, “For such a little thing, you could just send a word. How can the young master come in person?”

She was half a step behind Feng Gongzi when they went to the courtyard. Su Mingjian and Rob, who followed Feng Gongzi, also came in, and the other servants stood out of the house.

Regarding Yong Ruo’s question, Feng Liao answered, “The plum blossom trees have many branches. I was afraid others wouldn’t know what I like so I came to pick it up in person.”

Yong Ruo bowed her head slightly, and silently bit her lips, that reason was more frightening.

 “Please pick freely. This  little girl said before that If the young master liked this plum tree, he can even dig it up.”

“Let me have a look! If that day comes, I will come and dig it up!” Feng Liao gritted his teeth, and entered the courtyard.

He glanced around the yard and his eyes landed on the fence surrounding the bamboo nails array under the courtyard wall, “Why is there a fence there?” He went to the fence and asked, ” Did you make it yourself? “

Yong Ruo could not help but look at him in surprise. Was Feng Gongzi observant, or did he hear something and came to check?

However, with her position at that time, she was unable to see Feng Gongzi’s expression, and could not determine which kind of situation it was.

After thinking about it, she decided to tell him the truth, “I made it. This girl thought that the house only had women and children in, and the wall was not high. So I placed a bamboo nail array there. If someone comes in, they would lose their foot first, and we could grab them easily. So no one dares to jump the wall from the fence! “

“Bamboo nail array?” Feng Gongzi stood beside the fence and looked curiously at the fence. Unfortunately, the fence was covered with a layer of bamboo branches and leaves loosely. He could not see clearly.

Yong Ruo took a bamboo stick from the side and removed some of the bamboo branches and leaves, so that the young master could see a pointed bamboo nails buried in the ground.

“The night before yesterday, two thieves came in over the wall at night to steal the things the young master rewarded us …” Yong Ruo said casually.

But just when she mentioned that, Feng Liao suddenly turned his head to look at her, with a face full of shock.

Yong Ruo looked at his expression and felt that his reaction wasn’t  fake. So, Feng Liao was indeed keenly observant, and didn’t hear anything.

After a short shock, the look on Feng Liao’s face had changed from shock to anger.

He quickly surveyed Yong Ruo up and down, stretched out his hands, was about to grab her arm, but froze suddenly before touching it. Then he flexed his fingers unnaturally, retracted his hands stupidly, and put his hands behind him again.

He bowed his head slightly, took two breaths in a hurry, raised his head again, and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”

Although stubborn, his slightly tense tone leaked his nervousness.

Yong Ruo looked at his eyes full of concern and concluded that she really thought too much! He really heard this from her and wasn’t pretending. 

“Young master rest assured! Our family is all right, the two thieves are in trouble. That night, as soon as they jumped off the wall, they stepped on these bamboo nails firmly, and their feets were pierced. One of the thieves did not stand firmly when he jumped down, and so even his palm was pierced … “

Yong Ruo told him everything that happened the previous night.

 Feng Liao listened with full attention.

 Su Mingjian and Rob looked at each other, exchanged a surprised look, and came over to see the bamboo nail array, they also listened very carefully.
