Marquis Kang Dinghou pulled Li Shiyan and reminded him, "Alright, Shiyan, now that Zhao Quanzhi has been arrested, you shouldn't think too much about it. Don't contact the Zhao family anymore, lest you bring trouble upon yourself. In short, you're fine, and I'm relieved.
Hurry back to your room and pack up before we return to the mansion. "
"Father, you should go back first. I want to stay here for a while." He still had things to do.
He was safe and sound this time because of Ji Yunshu!
He wanted to see her.
To express his feelings!
But if he returned to Yan Jing like this, he didn't know when they would meet again.
Marquis Kang Dinghou didn't allow it. "Don't cause trouble for me. Yao 'er isn't feeling well right now. Your Uncle Zhu and I need to hurry back to Yan Jing so that we can find a good doctor to treat Yao' er."
Hearing this, Li Shiyan's gaze fell on the pale Zhu Yao. Besides apologies, he didn't have anything else to give her.
Zhu Yao forcefully propped herself up and said, "Shiyan, I told you that you would be fine."
Li Shiyan said, "This time, it's all thanks to your help. Thank you."
"There's no need for thanks between us. Moreover, I didn't do anything, I just …" She was just a mouthpiece.
Before she could say the last few words, Minister Zhu came over and took her hand.
"Father?"
"Yao 'er, you're not feeling well right now. You should leave this place as soon as possible." Minister Zhu's expression was cold as he said to Marquis Kang Dinghou, "Marquis, let's go separately to avoid being squeezed together."
Marquis Kang Dinghou said, "Minister Zhu?"
"Also, after this matter, I think the marriage between our two families … might need to be reconsidered."
Ah!
Zhu Yao's eyes widened. Before she could say anything, she was already dragged out of the hall. Marquis Kang Dinghou's face was a mess. This marriage was carefully chosen by him. Although Zhao Quanzhi was right, he chose the Zhu family for his son's future. With the Zhu family's support, he was relieved and didn't need to worry about his son's future.
He was worried about his son's future, but now … everything was going to disappear like a bubble.
His heart was filled with mixed feelings after his plan failed.
Perhaps, he would have another enemy in the imperial court!
If the marriage between the two families could be dissolved, that was exactly what Li Shiyan hoped for. He couldn't have someone else in his heart, and he still wanted to defile another girl. He couldn't do such a thing.
…
After Zhu Yao was pulled out by her father, her eyes were filled with tears. She begged, "Father, don't be like this! I truly like Shi Yan. Please grant us our wish. Daughter, I'm begging you. "
"Are you still so muddle-headed?"
"I'm not being foolish. I'm just acting according to my heart. Father, if you really cancel the engagement, I won't be able to continue living." "You …" Zhu Shangshu was exasperated. Since the hard approach didn't work, he could only resort to the soft approach. "Yao 'er, did you not hear? They just want to find a stepping stone for that useless son of theirs. Zhao Quanzhi is right. You are a sacrifice, so I can't do this. I can't let the Zhu Family become a stepping stone for the Li Family, and I can't let you become a sacrifice between the two families. I was muddle-headed in the past and didn't think about you properly.
Let's agree to this marriage. Fortunately, it's not too late. "
Zhu Shangshu's words were all for Zhu Yao's sake.
But —
Zhu Yao begged again, "Father, I don't care about this. A sacrifice is a sacrifice, but this marriage can't be canceled. I really love him, so much that I can't help myself."
"Why haven't you thought it through?"
"Then let your daughter be muddle-headed forever."
"…"
Zhu Shangshu was at his wit's end. This matter couldn't be resolved here, so he could only take a step back. "Forget it, forget it. We'll talk about this when we get back to the manor. Your body is weak. Let's wait for a while before discussing it with your mother."
Zhu Yao's eyes were still brimming with tears.
In the end, she was supported by Cai 'er back to her room. They packed their things and prepared to leave.
On the other side, after Wen Cong and the Wen brothers came out of the hall, Wen Cong said, "You guys go back to the courtyard to prepare. I'm going to see the Old Manor Lord and bid farewell before leaving."
So they split up!
On the way back to the courtyard, Luo Yang muttered to himself, "I wonder if that Lord Huang is stingy? But no matter how stingy, the reward shouldn't be too little! "
As he spoke, he touched his chin.
His heart was filled with longing.
Wen Yu glanced at him and said suspiciously, "When did you become so capable? You actually found the evidence and made Lord Huang help you put on a show! "
"That's because this young master is amazing!"
"I'm afraid there's more to it than meets the eye, right?"
Luo Yang raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "Surnamed Wen, are you saying that I, Luo Yang, am an idiot?"
"If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do."
"Hmph! You upper-class people always look down on others. Your eyes are all grown on top of your head, looking down on others like a snob. "Luo Yang said the last sentence very softly.
Wen Yu was furious, "If I, Wen Yu, was a snob, I wouldn't have brought you back to Yanjing and arranged everything for you."
"If that's the case, why didn't you fulfill your previous promise?" Wen Yu held her forehead and said to him in detail, "Everything has a process. If you want to be rich and powerful, it naturally can't be done in a day. Many things have to be arranged properly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong in the middle, no one will be able to bear the consequences."
"Delay it again and again."
"Delay it again and again."
"…" Wen Yu really didn't know how to explain to him the many inconveniences. Wen Che, who had been silent all this while, frowned slightly. He turned his head and instructed Tian Tian, "Quickly go to Miss Ji's courtyard and inform her that we are about to leave Ning 'an Villa. Tell her to get ready. Our carriage will be waiting outside the villa gates.
”
"Yes!"
Wen Tian left with the order.
After Wen Tian left, Luo Yang turned his gaze to Wen Che and asked, "Say, I helped Lord Huang so much this time. How much silver do you think he will reward me?"
"You're thinking too much."
"What do you mean?"
Wen Che looked straight ahead and replied, "I'm afraid that when we return to Yanjing City, Lord Huang will be very busy."
"So you're saying that he won't give me silver? Then wouldn't I have worked for nothing? "Luo Yang slapped the back of his hand heavily, feeling that he had suffered a great loss.
Sure enough, he couldn't beat the tricks of city people!
Wen Tian quickly walked to Ji Yunshu's courtyard. Now that the case was over, the girls in the courtyard were packing their luggage and preparing to leave. When he knocked on Ji Yunshu's door, he found that there was no one inside.
Logically speaking, Ji Yunshu should be in the room at this time.
Coincidentally, there were a few servants helping the girls carry their luggage in the courtyard. Wen Tian grabbed one of them and asked, "Have you seen Miss Ji?"
"I haven't seen her."
The few of them shook their heads one after another.
Suddenly, Qiu Shu said, "I saw her go out and she never came back." Although she didn't like Ji Yunshu's self-righteous and virtuous attitude, because of Xiao Guozi's matter today, she had wrongly accused Ji Yunshu without any evidence. Now that the truth had been revealed, and after an autopsy, it was discovered that Xiao Guozi drank the poisonous osmanthus
At that moment, her heart was filled with complicated feelings. It wasn't that she was embarrassed, but she didn't know how to face Ji Yunshu, or … the girls in this courtyard.
Now everyone thought that she was a shrew!
A shrew who didn't know right from wrong!
All the prestige she had built up over the years had become a joke.
She was too ashamed to show her face.
When Wen Che heard that Ji Yunshu had left, he thanked Qiu Shu and immediately brought the news to Wen Che.
But they didn't know that Ji Yunshu was currently …
Qi 'er pushed Su Ziluo back to the courtyard. Su Ziluo suddenly stopped and ordered, "Go prepare the carriage."
"Yes."
Qi 'er pushed him to the door and went to prepare the carriage to go down the mountain.
Su Ziluo paused at the door for a long time before pushing it open. He rolled his wheelchair inside and gently closed the door.
Inside the room, a slender figure stood in front of the window.
Ji Yunshu stood in front of the window, her gaze fixed on a tree outside. Her face was calm, her eyes indifferent, and no emotions could be seen. When she heard the door close behind her, she slowly turned around.
She met Su Ziluo's gaze.
