Chapter 171: Unpredictable

"Get out of here."

The owner of the He Lou looked at his bound hands and feet and wondered how he was going to get out of here.

Chen Shiyi looked at Long Muchuan and smiled.

"He was acquainted with the bandit from Lingyu Villa, the second in command of Zhenxing Escort Agency, and helped him set fire to my Qinyun Building. Do you think I should kidnap him?"

Long Muchuan's face was very solemn.

"Are you hurt?"

"Escape from death."

He raised his foot and kicked the carriage angrily.

"Come out."

"Don't rush him, or my good carriage will be kicked and broken. This man burned down my Qinyun Building, and I have to deal with him myself. If he is your man, it would be great."

Long Muchuan said with a smile.

"Don't dirty your hands, give it to me, I will help you vent your anger."

Chen Shiyi looked at Long Muchuan quietly.

"Uncle Ninth Prince, he almost killed me. I will not let him off."

Long Muchuan looked surprised.

"Eleven, I still have a use for this man. Give him to me and I'll owe you a favor."

"What if I don't want to give it?"

Chen Shiyi looked at Long Muchuan quietly, and Long Muchuan also looked at her quietly.

The streets were full of people, but in the dark night, it was silent.

Finally, Chen Shiyi sneered.

"Chen Shiyi will present the person that Uncle Ninth Prince wants."

After saying that, he got into the carriage and took out the owner of Yinhelou.

Long Muchuan had his hands and feet untied, and said to Chen Shiyi with a smile.

"From now on, you can come to me for anything. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you. It's so late at night. Come to my house and rest. I will treat you well."

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"I am the cousin of Doctor Yushi's family. I don't want to trouble Uncle Jiu anymore. I'll take my leave now."

After saying this, he gave Ambassador Fu a look, then got into the carriage and left.

Long Muchuan watched Chen Shiyi's carriage leave quietly, feeling very depressed.

He shook his head helplessly.

She cooked it like this at the Helou Restaurant. She is really brave.

"Master, thank you for rescuing me."

Long Muchuan looked at him with cold eyes.

"If it weren't for the fact that you are still somewhat useful, I would have chopped you into minced meat if she didn't kill you."

The owner of the drinking pub turned pale.

"Yes, yes, please spare my life, Master."

Mr. Hu sat beside a stone bench and drank tea with Chen Shiyi.

"Time flies by so fast, and a few years go by in a flash."

"Well, decades have passed in my life, but now when I look back, it seems like just a moment."

Chen Shiyi was very sad.

"Yuanzhong is dead, Yuanxi is dead too, Yuanshu is nowhere to be found, Xuwen, oh well, I don't want to talk about it. I used to think I had a family, but after a few years, I am the only one left."

"Nothing is ever-changing in this world. Who can escape the separation of life and death?"

Chen Shiyi suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

"Uncle, sometimes I don't know what I am living for. It seems that I am living just for the sake of living. I can live well with money, but I can also live without money. Suddenly, I feel that it is so meaningless."

Mr. Hu smiled.

"You are still young and don't understand life well, so it's natural that you are distressed. When you are born, you have nothing, and when you die, you have nothing either. So, you live for a few decades to experience this world. Whether you are impulsive, kind, confused, or worried, it is all a choice you make on the road. There is no right or wrong, fast or slow..."

"You feel bored because you haven't got what you wanted. You should lower your expectations, write beautiful characters, eat a meal you like, read an interesting book, watch the persimmons turn from green to red, and the grass on the ground grow from barren to lush. Find fun in these trivial things, and you will become more and more fulfilled. You will find that gain and loss are nothing more than that."

Chen Shiyi held his chin and sat in the yard for a long time.

After dealing with the mother-in-law of the Xin family who abducted Yuan Shu, she didn't seem particularly happy.

Those lost can never be recovered.

The next day, she stood in front of the mansion, looking at the plaque of the mansion quietly.

The guard at the gate was very discerning.

"Excuse me, young lady, what can I do for you?"

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

"Please tell him that Chen Shiyi wants to meet the Marquis of Loyalty."

The gatekeeper was delighted to hear this.

"Are you Miss Chen? The Marquis said that as long as it's you, you can enter the mansion directly without any entourage."

"Please let me know."

The guard nodded.

"Please wait a moment, young lady."

Wen Zhiheng, who was flipping through reports at the desk in Lingyun Pavilion, frowned slightly.

Qingsong rushed in hurriedly.

"My Lord, the girl is here and is waiting outside the door."

When Wen Zhiheng heard this, he was stunned, and then a huge joy filled his heart.

"Please come in."

After a while, he put his pen on the pen holder, tidied up the files on the table, looked down at his clothes, stood up, smoothed out the wrinkles, and felt uneasy.

He saw her wearing black clothes, followed by a man holding a sword, and stepping into the threshold of Lingyun Pavilion.

He should have been in a good mood, but when he remembered what he had said to her some time ago, his expression became serious again.

Chen Shiyi slowly approached him and bowed deeply to him.

"Chen Shiyi pays respect to the Marquis."

Wen Zhiheng felt very unhappy when he heard her address him in such a strange way.

"There's no need for all this red tape between you and me."

He led her into the study, but then felt something was wrong. He thought he should take her to Yueyingxuan.

"You came to see me today, have you decided to come back?"

Wen Zhiheng poured tea for Chen Shiyi and couldn't help but feel happy when he saw her.

He pushed the tea in front of Chen Shiyi and spoke softly.

"Be careful with the burns."

Chen Shiyi took out a black box from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Wen Zhiheng.

When Wen Zhiheng saw it, his heart was filled with joy. He had never expected that she would actually buy a gift for him.

He pretended to be serious.

"What is it?"

"Banknotes."

Wen Zhiheng was very puzzled.

"What banknotes?"

"The Yuming Tea House is open for business. There are 228 guests invited by the Marquis' Mansion. The total amount of money spent on purchasing tea is 2,780 taels. You have sent guards to protect me for the past three years. 5,000 taels should be enough. The gift money is not counted. I will not take it. There is a total of 8,000 taels of silver in the box. I hope you can accept it."

Wen Zhiheng was silent for a while, the fire in his heart was cooled by Chen Shiyi's words.

"Chen Shiyi, what do you mean?"

"My Lord, I cannot accept your kindness for nothing. I don't have much money left, so please don't think it's too little."

"You want to draw a line between you and me?"

Chen Shiyi nodded affirmatively.

"Yes, I want to draw a line between us."

"So, you chose him over me?"

Chen Shiyi was silent for a while.

"Master, I never chose you, so there is no question of giving you up."

"What did you say?"

Chen Shiyi thought for a long time, raised his eyes and asked firmly.

"Master, do you really like me?"

Wen Zhiheng's eyes were filled with brokenness.

"Chen Shiyi, don't you know?"

Chen Shiyi nodded and asked.

"Master, my name is Chen Shiyi. Do you remember when I was born?"
