Chapter 393 Recognizing her identity
“It's you?!” Xu Yanqing confirmed the man's identity before he even saw his face.
Gu Xiyan was shocked when she heard this. She thought Xu Yanqing recognized her and wondered whether she should continue to hide.
What's more, there was nowhere for her to hide in this place, and Xu Yanqing recognized her, so it would be useless for her to hide.
Now she should think about how to explain to Xu Yanqing that she appeared in this place and that there was a charred corpse half a mile away. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and her palms became cold.
"Aren't you the young master named Yan from last time? That's right. Why are you alone in the wilderness?" Xu Yanqing chased after Gu Xiyan.
Even though he only met Mr. Yan once, he was deeply impressed: "I remember you are Mr. Rong's friend."
Gu Xiyan's face changed. She would rather Xu Yanqing recognized her as Gu Xiyan rather than Mr. Yan.
She was confused and continued walking along the bank of the field, hoping that Xu Yanqing would be less curious.
Xu Yanqing followed him leisurely, "Master Yan, why don't you look at me? Are you trying to hide from me?"
He looked at Mr. Yan's back, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar he felt. Where had he seen Mr. Yan before? Why didn't Young Master Yan dare to look back at him?
Gu Xiyan knew that she was struggling to her death, but she still didn't want to turn around and face Xu Yanqing, so she quickened her pace.
But after all, she was a girl who grew up in a boudoir, with a delicate body and a soft body. She had never done any physical work. In addition, the field embankment was not easy to walk on. She walked too fast, and her foot slipped and stepped into the muddy field. .
Just because of this little accident, Xu Yanqing took three steps at a time and then two steps to catch up.
He stretched out his hand towards her: "There are leeches in the field, I will pull you up."
Gu Xiyan turned her back to Xu Yanqing, hoping for a miracle to happen, but she also knew that the hope was slim.
Xu Yanqing was standing behind Gu Xiyan. The more he looked at her, the more familiar Mr. Yan became. Because he was so close, he saw her jade-white earlobes and stood there in shock for a moment.
How can a man's skin become so white?
While he was watching intently, he smelled a familiar fragrance. This was sandalwood that belonged exclusively to Gu Xiyan. He had smelled it more than once...
“Xiyan?” Xu Yanqing asked cautiously.
Gu Xiyan knew that she had been exposed. Maybe she should be glad that the person who discovered her identity was Xu Yanqing and not Zhou Xing.
She prepared her facial expression, then turned around and said to Xu Yanqing as if nothing had happened: "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xu here."
Xu Yanqing was not sure at first, but even if the pretty face in front of him was covered in mud, he recognized her as Gu Xiyan at a glance.
“Why are you here?” Xu Yanqing was extremely surprised.
She is a princess, and she should be surrounded by people when she comes out. How could she appear alone in this deserted place?
Gu Xiyan didn't know how to answer.
Xu Yanqing saw that she was in trouble, so he changed the subject: "I'll pull you up first."
As he spoke, he held her slender wrist through his sleeves and pulled her from the mud to the embankment.
Gu Xiyan couldn't stay here for long, so she said to Xu Yanqing: "Xiaodie is waiting for me. I have to leave, otherwise she will be worried."
Xu Yanqing looked at her slim feet covered with mud, frowned and asked, "You want to go alone like this?"
I met him today. If I met someone else who had evil thoughts and found out that she was born as a girl, what would I do?
"Where is Miss Hu? I'll send you there." Xu Yanqing said seriously.
Gu Xiyan knew that he meant well, but it was not good for a man and a woman to be alone together. She was about to refuse when Xu Yanqing said again: "You are dressed as a man now. Unless you meet someone you know well, you will not be recognized." , Don't worry. I saw you and Miss Hu making peace and left."
Gu Xiyan glanced at him and said, "Thank you." Just like that, Gu Xiyan walked in front and Xu Yanqing followed behind her, always a few steps away from her.
Gu Xiyan remembered how familiar Xu Yanqing was with Zhao Qingqi just now, slowed down her steps, looked back at him and said, "If anyone asks, Mr. Xu, can you not reveal my identity?"
If Xu Yanqing told Zhao Qingqi that he had seen her, and a charred corpse appeared nearby, then she would naturally become a suspect, and then the problem would be big.
Xu Yanqing said without hesitation: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."
After all, it was very strange to see her in this remote place. And she was still wearing men's clothes. Besides, the last time I saw her dressed like this was downstairs in Jixiang. She was Mr. Yan at that time.
Mr. Yan is walking with Rong Song again. If you think about it carefully, you will know that there is something wrong.
Now she is the princess of the current emperor's eldest son. No matter what her status was before, she is now just the eldest prince's concubine.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu." Gu Xiyan smiled back at him, full of gratitude.
Xu Yanqing looked at her dressed as a man, and then recalled the scene when she saw him turning around and walking towards the bank of the field. He couldn't help but smile: "You were afraid that I would recognize you, so you deliberately avoided me, right?"
Gu Xiyan was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
Xu Yanqing thought to himself and said, "Rong Song will buy the land in the southern suburbs. Is it your idea or the result of your discussion with Rong Song?"
There is also a grain store in Bafang Hutong that can be opened. Could it be Xiyan's idea?
Even a large number of tenant farmers in Mocheng who had abandoned farming suddenly started spring plowing this year. Was this Xi Yan's idea?
Rong Song's business is getting bigger and bigger, and Xi Yan must have contributed a lot.
Only her current identity is different from before, so she has to hide it.
Gu Xiyan looked back at Xu Yanqing and said seriously: "Rong Song has a business acumen. He deserves what he has achieved now."
Xu Yanqing was convinced, but he also knew that Xi Yan avoided his question.
Hu Die was anxiously waiting for Gu Xiyan. Seeing that Gu Xiyan hadn't come back yet, she wanted to go back and find someone.
Just when she was nervous, Gu Xiyan finally came back, but Xu Yanqing was followed behind her. She was dumbfounded and didn't know what the situation was now.
"I'm here. Could you please Sir Xu to give me a ride?" Gu Xiyan said politely to Xu Yanqing.
Xu Yanqing stepped aside and said, "Princess, please walk slowly."
Hu Die didn't have time to ask any more questions and helped Gu Xiyan get on the horse.
Gu Xiyan had never ridden a horse in her life, but they had to take another path back to the city. The carriage could not pass, and walking was too slow, so they had to go on horseback.
Hu Die felt funny when she saw Gu Xiyan's nervous look. If Zhou Mu came to teach Xiyan how to ride a horse, she would be very happy. Unfortunately, she was snatched away from this good job today.
Gu Xiyan was hugged by Hu Die. She looked at Xu Yanqing again and said, "Master Xu, I'll go first."
Xu Yanqing cupped her hands and said, "Princess, please walk slowly."
As soon as Hu Die pinched the horse's belly, he took Gu Xiyan and rode away.
