Chapter Nine will be updated later

  A beautiful woman dressed in men's clothing, making her look particularly handsome and refreshing. Although the mother and sister at home are extremely beautiful, and several maids are also good-looking, they all have a soft and delicate appearance. After more than ten days of getting used to it, suddenly seeing a beautiful girl with a heroic spirit appear in front of him still made He Lan's eyes light up.

  He Lan Minyue looked good in men's clothing too, but compared to this woman, she had more charm and less heroic spirit.

  These two people should be the master and servant, the woman who seemed to be the mistress got off the carriage with a look of panic on her face, quietly stopping the servant beside her, and smoothing out some scattered hair outside the hood, before looking over at where He Lan Min was standing, and after this glance, she stood there in a daze.

  She didn't expect to see such a handsome man, who seemed like someone she had seen in her dreams. The man was staring at her with extremely invasive eyes, as if he could see through people's hearts, making one feel flustered and blush at first glance. She quickly turned her face away, but immediately turned back, unable to help but take a few more glances at He Lanmin.

  After her heart had violently jumped a few times, she also forced herself to calm down. It was this exceptionally handsome young man's carriage that had collided with the one she was riding in, almost overturning theirs. Thinking about the terrifying scene on the carriage just now still made her a bit afraid. The master and servant were both caught off guard and almost fell out of the carriage, looking quite disheveled. Seeing how rude this handsome man's attendant was being, she felt annoyed and glared fiercely at this man who looked like he should be of a higher social status.

  He Lan Min ordered his attendants to stand by the carriage and protect He Lan Min Yue inside. Under the gaze of both parties and passersby, he stepped forward, walked up to the tall woman, and bowed deeply. "This lady... sir, I offer my apologies. Just now, my subordinates were careless and drove the horse carriage too fast, colliding with your carriage. My subordinates were rude and scolded you, which is all due to my own lack of discipline in their upbringing. I am offering this apology to make amends; I hope you won't take offense!"

  He Lan Minzhi didn't know how to address the other party, although she recognized that the other was a beautiful woman, but the other's attire was that of a man. It seemed that this pair of beautiful master and servant wanted to disguise themselves as men to go out and have fun today, so she wouldn't expose them.

  He Lan Minzhi also rudely sized up the woman in front of him who was dressed as a man while speaking.

  The woman's age should not be too big, the lovely face has an undisguised childishness, but it is this childishness that gives people a sense of purity. The melon-shaped face, high nose bridge, and large eyes form a picturesque eyebrow under the slightly sword-shaped and slightly dense eyebrows. The swan-like slender white neck sets off the face even more beautifully, with a height of at least 1.65 meters or more, making her look exceptionally elegant and refined.

  This is a beautiful woman who looks very comfortable, and the little girl behind her is also pretty good.

  The few words "young master" from He Lan Minzhi made the woman a bit flustered, and with He Lan Minzhi's close proximity and slightly wild gaze, his handsome face was right in front of her, making her face even redder. The little anger she had just felt had disappeared without a trace, and she hastily bowed to return the courtesy, but then felt it wasn't quite right. After coming back to herself, she imitated He Lan Minzhi's gesture and returned the bow with a slight smile, "This young master... is being too polite, it was just a slight collision between carriages, nothing serious, I don't dare accept such courtesy!"

  She never thought that she, who was always calm and composed, would be so flustered in front of a strange man she had just met for the first time. Her usual elegance was nowhere to be seen, and her heart was in a state of utter chaos. When she realized her own loss of composure, she felt extremely annoyed with herself.

  The woman's voice was quite pleasant and had a strong magnetic attraction, which really matched her appearance. He Lan Min felt an inexplicable stir in his heart, a very strange feeling.

  Seeing the woman become somewhat flustered under his gaze, He Lan Minzhi felt rather pleased with himself and continued to stare at her face, even sizing her up from head to toe. Only when her face grew even redder and she lowered her head further did he continue speaking: "Sir is indeed magnanimous, not taking offense at my rudeness. I am truly... grateful. Since there's nothing else, we needn't quarrel over anything else either. I suppose Sir is heading to the banks of the Wan River for a stroll? The time is already late, so I won't disturb your journey any further. Please go ahead, Sir!"

  The woman was taken aback and hadn't responded yet, when the maid in men's clothing behind her jumped in to speak first, "Hey! You can't just leave! Your car almost flipped ours over, my young master was startled, you can't just walk away like that!"

  It's He Lan Minzhi's turn to be stunned, his gaze moved to the little maid who was pouting with a look of unwillingness on her face. After sizing her up and down, He Lan Minzhi's "not-so-good" intentions seemed to have pricked the little maid, causing her to retreat immediately, her face also turning red, but her mouth still not giving in, "Don't think that just because you people are many, you can bully us, we..."

  "Xiao Yun, you must not be rude to this young master, step down!" Before Xiao Yuhuan could finish speaking, she was interrupted by her master. The woman who interrupted Xiao Yuhuan's words turned to look at He Lan Minzhi and said, "Young Master, the servant doesn't understand etiquette, please don't take offense!"

  "The unexpected surprise just now startled the young master, and I really can't bear it. Here, I'll make another apology to you," He Lan Min said with a bow. "As the saying goes, 'a chance encounter is also fate', we won't know each other if we don't fight. Next time we meet, we will be acquaintances. On this beautiful spring day, we shouldn't waste it on unnecessary disputes. Why not just have fun and enjoy ourselves to our heart's content? Once we've had enough fun, all the unpleasant things will be forgotten. What do you say, young master?"

  As He Lan Mingzhi spoke, his eyes were fixed on the other person, and he appeared even more aggressive. The woman, after meeting He Lan Mingzhi's gaze, was like a startled deer, turning her eyes away, not knowing how to respond to him.

  Although her mind was a bit messy, she still had some expectation that the handsome man in front of her would invite her to play. Today is March 3rd, most people who come out to play hope to meet someone who makes them feel good, even if it's just for a day of play. The girl felt like today she had coincidentally met a man who made her heart skip a beat at first glance, and of course, she was looking forward to it!

  Because this happened on the side of the official road, after the two cars stopped after colliding with each other, many passersby had already stopped to watch the excitement. Originally, hearing He Lan's previous words, the passersby thought that the matter was over, but after hearing the two people talking like this, they thought that there might be a good show to watch next, and they all stopped in their tracks, not walking away. More curious people gathered around the periphery, and for a time, many people were gathered around them.

  He Lan An's face was very unsightly, he had ordered several people to guard He Lan Min's side, and sent a few more to drive away the onlookers. He didn't want his master to be surrounded by passersby, spreading rumors and gossip.

  Another carriage stopped and several maids, including Xue Er and Qing Er, got off. Seeing He Lan Minzhi apologizing to someone, they became anxious and quickly walked over to stand behind him. The two maids of He Lan Minyue went back to the carriage to accompany her, peeking out from under the curtain to watch the commotion.

  He Lan Min didn't bother with the onlookers, anyway no one recognized him, his interest was all on this beautiful young girl who looked bewildered under his gaze. Seeing her puzzled expression, he secretly smiled to himself and maintained his previous demeanor, bowing to the woman in front of him, "I suppose you also agree with what I said earlier, that spring days are short and we still have a long way to go before reaching Liang River. Since you don't mind, let's each continue on our journey, please, sir!"

  The woman, full of shyness, lifted her head suddenly after hearing these words, with a face full of disappointment that couldn't be concealed. But as soon as she made contact with He Lanming's eyes, which had a hint of a smile and were somewhat aggressive, she immediately lowered her head again. "This young master... please go first!"

  She was annoyed at herself for losing her composure again, why did she lose all courage as soon as she made eye contact with him?

  "That's good," He Lan Min smiled and bowed again. "This young master, I'll take the lead first, we'll meet again!"

  "Hmm... we'll meet again!" The woman murmured a response and watched Hulan Minzi retreat with even greater disappointment.

  Why is this man speaking and acting like this? Is it that my outfit today is particularly unattractive? Or did the man not recognize that I am a girl? If only I had known, I wouldn't have worn these clothes out, she felt a strong sense of loss in her heart.

  Seeing the woman's expression, He Lan Min's heart moved slightly, feeling that he should do or say something more, but had already retreated and gone back, and there were many onlookers around, so it was not good to go back again. After glancing back at the young woman who was still looking at him, he smiled and immediately called out to the people beside him to continue on their way.

  He Lan Minzhi got on the horse carriage, and the horse carriage started again, running forward. He Lan Minzhi, who was still looking outside with the same posture, kept looking out while lifting the curtain of the carriage.

  "Minyue, what are you looking at?" He Lan Min asked curiously.

  "Brother, look, that girl is still staring at our carriage!" He Lan Minyue said, putting down the curtain and turning to smile mischievously at He Lan Minzhi: "Brother, that girl must have been shocked by your good looks and demeanor, and has fallen in love with you at first sight..."

  "Little girl, you're talking nonsense! How can such a thing happen?" He Lan Minzhi scolded with a smile, and out of curiosity, she also lifted the curtain of her carriage to look at the woman's carriage. Indeed, as He Lan Minzhi had said, the woman was still standing in the same place, staring in the direction of his carriage, her eyes somewhat dazed.

  Seeing this, He Lan's heart also felt a little melancholy...
