Chapter 173 Selling the business and leaving

Inside Lingyun Pavilion, warm light scattered through the hexagonal window frames into a few fragmented beams of light. A gentle breeze blew in, softly turning the pages of the book on the desk, one after another, as if it also wanted to explore the joys and sorrows of this world.

One stood in front of the desk, and the other stood at the window frame.

silence.

Chen Shiyi stretched out her hand and touched the light, the warmth on her fingertips burning her uneasy heart.

She turned and bowed to Wen Zhiheng.

"My Lord, Chen Shiyi is leaving now."

After saying that, he walked out of the house.

Wen Zhiheng turned around suddenly, grabbed Chen Shiyi's wrist and pulled her into his arms. He held Chen Shiyi tightly to prevent her from moving. The more she struggled, the tighter he held her.

He leaned on her shoulder, his voice choked with sobs.

"Eleven, I'm sorry, it's my fault. Let's stop arguing, okay? As long as you stay with me, I will transfer him back to Kyoto, okay?"

Chen Shiyi tried to push him away with both hands but failed, so he just replied coldly.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to you for help."

Wen Zhiheng closed his eyes slightly.

"Eleven, I have repaired the Loyalty Marquis's Mansion, I am divorced, I did not touch her, you stay with me, I can do anything for you..."

"Why do you think I would marry a divorced man?"

Wen Zhiheng stopped exerting force with his hands and looked at Chen Shiyi in front of him with a look of disbelief.

"I have put so much thought into you..."

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me, please don't say it's for me."

After saying that, Chen Shiyi pushed Wen Zhiheng away with force, turned around and left without looking back.

Wen Zhiheng staggered a few steps, and his whole body seemed to be plunged into coldness.

He laughed at himself.

People’s hearts are so cold!

Qingsong saw that Chen Shiyi looked very unhappy when he left, so he hurried into the study and looked at the defeated Wen Zhiheng, feeling really sorry for him.

"My Lord, I have long advised you not to do this. This is the girl's temper. She is tough when faced with tough situations, but she is soft and will not tolerate hard situations. The more you force her, the more she resists. You should try to be softer..."

“That’s enough!”

"Get out!"

Wen Zhiheng looked at Chen Shiyi's departing back in deep silence, his brows and eyes were cold, his thin lips slightly pursed.

When Chen Shiyi returned to Lingyu Villa, he locked himself in his room and never came out again.

The next morning, she gathered everyone in the courtyard.

"I am going to sell the Yuming Tea House and the land of Qinyun Tower in Kyoto and leave Yanzhou. If you want to stay in Yanzhou or Kyoto, I can return your indentures and give you corresponding rewards."

Bai Ling asked immediately after hearing this.

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Jiangzhou."

"Wherever you go, I'll go. I'm going to follow you anyway."

Bo Yuan also echoed.

"I am the boss's man when I am alive and my ghost when I die."

Li Yunzhou also laughed.

"Boss, after I go to Jiangzhou, will I still be the head shopkeeper?"

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"Everything must start from scratch. As long as you are willing, you will always be my boss."

She turned and asked Jingran.

"Doctor Qin has almost cured your father's illness. I will give you the indenture and some money to keep you safe. Go home and take care of your father. Besides, you still have a marriage to arrange."

Jing Ran knelt down hurriedly.

"My eldest brother and second sister will take care of my father. The Dong family arranged for Doctor Qin to cure my father's illness. It is actually a grace of rebirth. Jing Ran is willing to follow the Dong family until death."

Chang Yi said hurriedly.

"I am just an orphan. My boss's home is my home."

Chen Shiyi was very pleased.

"Okay, Jingran, help me sell the teahouse in Kyoto and the land of Qinyun Building as soon as possible. The sooner the better. Changyi, you go and get the travel permits and the things you need on the road. Sell all the things you don't need and convert them into cash so that we can travel light."

After hearing this, the two of them responded quickly.

Fu Da on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to go?"

Chen Shiyi said seriously.

"You are my bodyguard. Wherever I go, you must follow me."

"The man surnamed Pei said he would give me the antidote."

"The situation has changed. He has gone to Jiangzhou to serve as the prefect. We need to go there to get the antidote."

Fu Daling's sharp brows wrinkled.

"What's going on?"

"I have implicated him. Anyway, it's hard to put it into words."

Lao Qin said.

"I may not be able to go. The herbs are not ripe yet. I have to watch over them."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Okay, you can help me look after Lingyu Villa. Whenever you want to come, just remember to send me a letter."

She came to Kyoto again to say goodbye to Mr. Hu.

"Why are you leaving so suddenly? It would be a shame to waste the connections, fame, and circles you have accumulated over the years."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Uncle, I have thought about it for a long time. Kyoto is no longer suitable for me. There are too many grievances, too much power, and coercion here. Besides, I promised Pei Luoshu that I would be with him when I came to Kyoto. Since he can't come, I will follow him."

Mr. Hu suddenly laughed.

"Well, it's good that you have made up your mind. Xiao Pei is a good young man."

Chen Shiyi also laughed.

"Uncle, I will write to you often."

After saying this, she knelt down on her knees and bid farewell to Mr. Hu.

She brought the lark and held an oil-paper umbrella and came to Qingque Street again.

"Sister..."

"I've been looking for it for several years, and I've been waiting for several years..."

"I will repay your kindness in my next life."

She looked at the hustle and bustle of traffic on Qingque Street.

"Bai Ling, let's go!"

Five days later, Qingsong hurriedly ran into Lingyun Pavilion.

In the darkness of Lingyun Pavilion, Wen Zhiheng, dressed in a black brocade robe, was curled up in the shadows and taking a nap.

Seeing Qingsong's figure, his narrow eyes were filled with a hint of resentment.

"My Lord, this is about the girl. Do you want to hear it?"

"What happened to her?"

"The girl sold all her properties and left Yanzhou."

"What?"

Wen Zhiheng was startled.

"Where is she going after leaving Yanzhou?"

He stood up and walked around the desk in the study.

"Yes, yes," he leaned against the table and looked very depressed. "She wanted to go to Jiangzhou. She gave up everything, including the hard work she had put in Yanzhou and Kyoto over the years, just to join him."

Wen Zhiheng felt that he was abandoned again.

"Do you know where she is now?"

"It should be about ten miles outside the north gate of Yanzhou."

"Chase!"

"yes."

On the official road of Yanzhou, five horse-drawn carriages were moving slowly forward.

Everyone traveled light, taking only food and clothing for the journey; everything else had been sold in Yanzhou, leaving only a few valuable items.

Li Yunzhou's daughter Mu Yan opened the curtain of the carriage, and the wind that blew in brought a bit of coolness to the stuffy carriage.

"Mother, I love riding in a carriage. It takes us to all kinds of different places."

Chen Shiyi smiled.

"They say that when it's fresh, but I guess it'll be gone in two days."

Li Yunzhou asked with a smile.

"Boss, are we going to seek refuge with Master Pei?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"Yes, I have promised him to be with him."

"Then I wish you and Mr. Pei a happy marriage."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

"I'll lend you my good words."
