Chapter 175 How to Recruit Fu Yi

Cheng Nianying and the other person walked into the door and returned to the courtyard of the fourth room, where they ran into Chu Lin.

"Why are you back so late today?"

The eldest son said embarrassedly, "There were a lot of people on the street today, and we got separated. It took me a while to find each other."

Chu Lin gave him a reproachful look and said, "If that's the case, don't go to crowded places next time. You're being rough and timid and crowding Miss Jiang."

The eldest son nodded quickly.

Chu Lin was speechless for a moment, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Her gaze was unfocused, and it turned around and around until it landed on Cheng Nianying. Only then did she notice that something was wrong with her.

The lips were so bright and luscious, and her face looked even more charming under the light.

Then I thought about how Miss Jiang came back only with her eldest son...

She was suddenly struck by thunder, her face turned pale, and she almost fainted in anxiety.

"Pei Jia, go down first. I have something to say to Miss Jiang."

The eldest son looked at his mother and said, "You don't look well..."

"I told you to go down first."

He had no choice but to swallow his words and retreat.

"Miss Jiang..." Chu Lin forced herself to smile again, "I, I want to talk to you."

The door of the west wing opened and closed.

Chu Lin finally mustered up the courage to speak: "You came here to look for me, right?"

Cheng Nianying was stunned.

It turns out she knew, she knew everything!

"You look so much like Yurong, but I knew at first sight that you were not her."

"...How have you been these past few years?"

Chu Lin hesitated and finally asked the question that Cheng Nianying had always wanted to hear.

At that time, she wondered why Chu Zhen never asked her how she grew up.

Cheng Nianying raised her eyes: "Very good."

She said, "I will leave tomorrow."

"Why?" Chu Lin was stunned. She had no idea that this was what Cheng Nianying had planned.

"Why do you want to leave? Didn't you get the answer you wanted?" Chu Lin asked excitedly.

"I have already obtained it. Because I have obtained it, I am leaving."

Chu Lin clenched her sleeves and breathed rapidly. After thinking about it, she could only think that maybe her sister Chu Zhen had said something.

"What did Chu Zhen tell you?"

"That's not important."

Seeing that she couldn't get any answer, Chu Lin became even more anxious.

"What if I want you to stay?"

Cheng Nianying met Chu Lin's gaze in surprise.

Chu Lin's eyes were filled with earnestness, which could no longer be concealed.

"This is not good for you."

Chu Lin suddenly said, "You didn't have a good life before, did you?"

Cheng Nianying was stunned.

Chu Lin continued, "Why should you worry about whether it's good or bad for adults? You are young and sensible, and you have suffered a lot."

"I had guessed before that you came here to find me. But there was really no expression on your face. I wondered if you hated me in your heart..."

"I don't hate you." Cheng Nianying interrupted quickly.

Chu Lin felt more courageous after hearing this. She said, "Then stay. Your Excellency will handle His Excellency's affairs!"

“…Let me think about it.”

Chu Lin couldn't remember how she walked out. When she came to her senses, she was already back in the yard.

Only then did she remember that she had forgotten to ask whether Pei Jia had bullied her today.

She needs to think about it.

I should let her think about it slowly... I am already feeling timid, let alone her?

Chu Lin thought for a moment, then turned around and went to find Pei Jia to question him.

Fu Yi stayed at Yuxian Tower in Heqing.

This place is located by the river, and when the door is closed at night, you can still hear the sound of gurgling water.

Perhaps it was the sound of running water that was too loud, Fu Yi thought, making it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Since he couldn't sleep, he simply got up and took a book to read, and he pressed on a page.

...After making love today, there wasn't even a trace of tenderness. Wouldn't she feel any discomfort when she hurried back to the Pei family like this?

Her clothes were wrinkled and dirty. She had left without a bag, so were her clothes new? But then she thought about how she'd only used the handkerchiefs she'd bought for shaving. She probably wouldn't have bothered to buy good clothes.

I wonder how the Pei family treats her? ...

The more Fu Yi thought about it, the more he couldn't fall asleep. The words on the pages of the book seemed to float up one by one.

He snapped the book shut, stood up and opened the door.

"Master?" The guard outside the door exclaimed in surprise.

"Go to Pei's house."

It was late at night.

Fu Yi got on the carriage and slowly headed towards the Pei family with his guards.

Wu Xun squatted beside Fu Yi, still a little dazed, unable to recover from the huge shock of seeing the "Princess of the County" again.

He murmured, "Master, there is a curfew here too. If we are caught by patrolling soldiers..."

Fu Yi said calmly, "The court officials have been criticizing me for abusing my power, so today is the rare opportunity for me to use you."

Wu Xun suddenly stopped talking.

Under the night.

A figure flashed vaguely on the high wall of the Pei family, but no one noticed it.

The figure then landed steadily on the ground. It was Cheng Nianying.

She wanted to find Fu Yi.

But after taking two steps, she realized that she didn't even know where Fu Yi was.

I walked too fast today and forgot to ask.

Cheng Nianying stared at the moon in the sky with wide eyes for a while before climbing over the wall and going back.

Soon, the wheels specially wrapped in cotton cloth made a very slight noise in the silent night.

Finally, the carriage stopped in the alley outside the Pei family's small gate.

Wu Xun lifted the curtain and said, "Master, shall we go and knock on the door?"

“No need.”

If he knocked on the door with the name of the Prince's Mansion, the entire Pei family would be mobilized. He wouldn't be able to see "Xiao He", but would first see the men of the Pei family, each of whom would be busy coming to pay his respects to him...

He just wanted to meet "Xiao He" in private.

What's the point of just meeting?

Can doing what you did during the day relieve the dissatisfaction in your heart?

His throat tightened and he looked up at the high walls of the Pei family.

The next moment, he laughed at himself.

He actually came here in the middle of the night and tried to climb over the wall.

What was he thinking? He was completely lost.

"...Let's go back." Fu Yi said.

Wu Xun was stunned: "Huh?"

Is that it?

Wu Xun suddenly felt itchy all over his body, which showed how innocent his master was!

The carriage left quickly.

Cheng Nianying knew nothing.

Cheng Nianying didn't sleep well. When she woke up the next day, Chu Lin's eldest son, Pei Jia, came to see her.

Cheng Nianying now knows his name.

"I'll take you out to play today..." Pei Jia didn't finish his words.

Cheng Nianying responded, "Okay."

She didn't know where to find Fu Yi. She thought that maybe if she went out for a while, she could attract the Prince of Danshuo.

So he immediately followed Pei Jia out the door.

Yin Ping chased after him: "Then, then you're not leaving today?"

"Don't leave yet."

Pei Jia heard these three words in front, turned around, and his eyes were slightly sore.

His mother told him that Miss Jiang was his biological sister. No wonder he felt close to her before.

Now this secret is known only to him...

My mother also said that she had suffered a lot and that I should be kinder to her. That was natural and should go without saying.

He had robbed a lot of money from the second brother early in the morning.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady. But you must not get lost again today." Yin Ping was still worried.

"Let's go to a place with fewer people today. You don't have to follow me." Cheng Nianying kept all the servants of the Yin family.

Then he turned around and followed Pei Jia.

Cheng Nianying went directly to the place where Fu Yi had taken her yesterday. It was quite lively there. It turned out that a master was going to hold a Dharma lecture.

The clear river is indeed full of variety.

Cheng Nianying strolled around the area where the altar was set up.

Fu Yi was not attracted.

She blinked.

That's not right.

Fu Yi must have sent someone to keep an eye on her... otherwise how could he have caught her so accurately yesterday?

At this time, Pei Jia came back with his hands full of things.

"Try this, it's delicious." Pei Jia peeled off the oil paper package and handed it to Cheng Nianying.

Cheng Nianying suddenly remembered that she had called Fu Yi here yesterday because Pei Jia followed her around and raised his hand to protect her.

She stared at Pei Jia.

Pei Jia felt uncomfortable being stared at and asked in a low voice, "Don't you like to eat?"

"Still feeling bored? How about calling Jiu Niang and the others over?"

Cheng Nianying shook her head and thought, forget it. Even if they were only half related by blood, she couldn't trick him like this.

"You eat it."

"Oh... Then I'll go buy something else."

"Um."

Pei Jia went there again in a hurry.

In the crowd that was gradually becoming crowded again, someone took out a portrait, looked at it, compared it, and then quickly put it back into his chest.
