Chapter 60: Grave Sweeping

Wen Zhiheng rarely sees Chen Shiyi recently, and he hasn't had a good talk with her for two or three months.

I don't know what she is busy with.

It seems to be busier than when I was selling cakes on Cheung Ning Street before.

But last year, I didn't see her so busy that she fell asleep every day.

Finally, he ran into Chen Shiyi who came back earlier.

"You seem very busy lately?"

Chen Shiyi walked into his room, nodded and smiled.

"Indeed, but the young master is also very busy, I didn't expect that he still had time to come and ask me about my affairs."

Wen Zhiheng was helpless.

"Eleven, is this the only way we can talk to each other?"

Chen Shiyi lowered his head and touched his forehead.

"You want to say something else? Well, let me ask you, you've been spending money more and more lavishly lately, and you didn't even leave me the capital I need to make a living. Do you want us to go bankrupt together?"

Wen Zhiheng blinked, lowered his head and covered his mouth with his hands, coughing.

"I just happened to run into some trouble. I asked someone to send the twenty taels of silver to the north, where my father is now."

Chen Shiyi was silent.

"My Lord, is everything okay in the North?"

"He has a hard time, unlike us, who have you to take care of us."

"The Marquis has his family caring about him, and with you on his side, he will get better slowly."

Wen Zhiheng raised his hand and tucked her messy hair behind her ears.

"Eleven, I feel like you've changed a lot."

Chen Shiyi was very confused.

"Have I changed?"

"He used to be like a hedgehog, with thorns all over his body, not letting anyone get close to him. Now he has become much calmer, probably because of the work he does outside."

Chen Shiyi smiled awkwardly.

"It's just that you grow up. As you grow up, you will naturally control your temper and become more sensible."

Wen Zhiheng was silent for a long time and then continued.

"I have contacted my father's old subordinates. I believe the time we have to return to Kyoto will be getting shorter and shorter."

Chen Shiyi understood.

"I will work hard to earn money and help you return to Beijing as soon as possible."

She thought that it would be good to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Maybe the young master would be soft-hearted and give her a bond. That would be perfect.

"It's not me, it's us. Let's go back together."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"good."

Joy instantly filled Wen Zhiheng's heart.

"You agree, are you willing to come with me?"

Chen Shiyi didn't know why the young master was so happy. Returning to Beijing, wouldn't it mean everyone going back together?

Her bond is still in his hands, where else can she go?

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is already July and the sun is so bright that it makes people blind.

Chen Shiyi had a piece of floral cloth wrapped around his head to cover his face to prevent his skin, which he had worked so hard to whiten, from getting tanned again.

Running outside every day, no matter how well she avoided it, her face was gradually covered with a layer of shiny black.

Chen Shiyi was weeding Pei's mother's grave.

Next to the cemetery, there is a huge tree, and it is very cool under the tree canopy.

She complained as she pulled.

"Aunt, you said you are so beautiful, it would be great if you could give me some of your beauty. I am not only thin but also dark now. I wonder if your son will still have feelings for me after seeing me?"

She groaned to herself again.

"If I don't have it, won't I be heartbroken?"

"I can't help being sad. Who made me ugly?"

"There are many beautiful flowers in Mr. Qian's yard. They let me pick a few of them. They are golden yellow. They told me that they are sunflowers. I like this flower. It follows the sun and is passionate. I think you will like it too."

"Aunt, seeing how diligently I come to see you, please remember to bless me to make a fortune..."

"eleven…"

“Oh my…”

A voice suddenly came from behind, which scared Chen Shiyi enough.

She turned around and saw it was Pei Luoshu.

She patted her chest and spoke slowly.

"You walk quietly? This is a cemetery. It will scare people to death."

Pei Luoshu asked anxiously.

"Are you okay?"

"Can I still talk to you?"

She suddenly thought of something, then picked up the floral cloth beside her and covered her face tightly.

Pei Luoshu was very confused.

"What happened to your face?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"I can't see anyone."

Pei Luo sighed, put down the package on his body, kowtowed to Pei's mother's grave several times, and burned paper money...

Looking at the neat and clean cemetery, Pei Luoshu was full of gratitude.

He and Chen Shiyi hid under the shady tree canopy and sat on the soft green grass.

Pei Luoshu saw that Chen Shiyi had been covering his face, and he couldn't help but pull the floral cloth off.

"What have I not seen about you?"

"Have I ever been uglier than I am now?"

Pei Luoshu nodded.

"What does it look like?"

"That time, we went to eat braised chicken together, and your lips were swollen from the spiciness, and you had runny nose and tears..."

Chen Shiyi glared at him resentfully.

"Tell me, did you do it on purpose that time?"

"no…"

Her voice suddenly faded.

"Time flies. Come to think of it, we have known each other for more than a year."

Pei Luoshu looked at her quietly.

Chen Shiyi felt uneasy when he looked at him.

"How are you doing at Tianxiang Academy? Have you lost weight again?"

Pei Luoshu replied.

"It's bad. Someone promised me to come to the capital to see me, but I waited for several months and never saw her. So I came back to see what she was doing. Did she forget about me?"

After hearing this, Chen Shiyi's neck shrank and he slowly turned his body to the side.

"Eleven, can you please come see me? You can't reject me every time, and you've promised before."

Chen Shiyi had no choice but to nod in response.

"It takes too long to go to the provincial capital, five days round trip. The eldest master does not allow me to stay overnight outside, and some of the more remote county towns will not allow me to go, but I will try my best."

Pei Luoshu was happy to hear her tone despite her perfunctory tone.

He thought about her for a long time.

His face was as thin as a monkey, but his eyes were still the most beautiful, twinkling and always as pure as glass.

So what does her appearance matter? She doesn't mind the scar on her face, and she admitted to Brother Xue that he likes her.

Spiritual harmony is such a wonderful thing.

How many people can meet this in this world?

Chen Shiyi worried about this matter for a long time. Xue Lianxing said that it was impossible to travel back and forth to the provincial capital in one day.

Wen Zhiheng's recent actions have become more and more obvious, and sometimes several strange men appear in the courtyard.

These people had sharp eyes and murderous intent, but in front of Wen Zhiheng, they were as obedient as lambs.

Within two days, these people disappeared as if they had never been there, and the courtyard returned to peace.

"Is this your subordinate?"

"To be precise, they are my father's subordinates."

"Where did they go?"

"Go and help me collect evidence."

Wen Zhiheng looked apologetic.

"Eleven, I..."

"I know. No need to tell you. The money jar is yours. You can use it however you want. Just return it to me double the amount later."
