Chapter 88 Abandoned

On summer nights, insects chirp one after another and the shadows of the trees dance.

The silent night and the unfamiliar environment made Chen Shiyi unable to sleep.

The window in the room let in a silvery moonlight. The room was not absolutely dark, but rather had a hint of clear haziness. In the hot season, the air was cool and chilly, which inexplicably calmed people's hearts.

Chen Shiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bed.

She was thinking about something.

Finally, no one could use her indenture to argue with her anymore.

In the future of your life, you don’t have to walk with your head down.

Even if Wen Zhiheng came to find her in the future, she could tell him firmly that without the indenture, she was no longer his.

She belongs to herself.

You can decide whether to stay or go, and you can decide what kind of life you want to live in the future.

The current Mr. Hu is not a good person, but he is also a good person.

He used other people's money in crooked ways and felt justified in doing so, but after using it he gave the most appropriate returns.

He is deep-minded and unpredictable.

Chen Shiyi thought, just stay here for now and avoid the spotlight for a while.

It was already the evening of the third day when Wen Zhiheng returned from Shouyun Mountain.

He ran excitedly, holding a piece of bright red fox fur in his hand, thinking that if he made a waistcoat with this fur, it would be warm and good-looking in the winter, and Eleven would definitely like it.

When we arrived at Yueyingxuan, it was pitch black inside and we couldn't see anything.

Wen Zhiheng was very confused.

"Is Eleven going to bed so early?"

Yunshan said respectfully.

"The girl was always sleepy and went to bed early. Prince, why don't you come to see her tomorrow?"

Wen Zhiheng held the fox skin in his hand, feeling a little depressed.

"She must be mad at me for not spending time with her these few days."

"The girl is kind-hearted, she won't do that."

Wen Zhiheng took a deep breath, then turned and left Yueyingxuan.

The next morning, before going on duty, he went to Yueyingxuan again, but found that there was no one sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard.

Usually he gets up very early at 11am, so he can see her every morning.

Today is very strange.

A bad thought vaguely arose in his mind.

But Yunshan's urging made him unable to think.

In the evening, as soon as he came back, he couldn't wait to run to Yueyingxuan.

As a result, it was still pitch black.

Wen Zhiheng's uneasiness became more and more intense. He pushed open the door of Yueyingxuan. The Fengwei bamboos rustled in the wind, and the courtyard was silent without a trace of human presence.

A voice came from behind.

"Prince, why are you here?"

Wen Zhiheng came to his senses, turned around, and saw the maid who was supposed to serve Chen Shiyi standing in front of him with a look of doubt on her face.

"Why do you go to bed so early recently?"

After hearing this, Pomegranate was very surprised.

"Sir, don't you know that the girl is gone?"

When Wen Zhiheng heard this, it was as if a thunderclap rang in his ears.

"What did you say?"

"The girl has been gone for four days. Didn't anyone tell you?"

Wen Zhiheng's hands were trembling slightly, and he asked softly in disbelief.

"You mean, she's been gone four days?"

"Well, the girl left on the day you went hunting."

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it, she promised me..."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the bedroom where Chen Shiyi of Yueyingxuan lived. The room was pitch black.

The figure of Chen Shiyi, who often leaned on the bed, had long disappeared, leaving only the gorgeous bedding, neatly folded.

Wen Zhiheng stood there and watched for a long time, without saying a word and with a slender figure.

He was abandoned.

The direction he had always firmly chosen was gone, leaving only empty echoes lingering in his heart, tearing his lungs apart.

Shi Liu couldn't bear to see Wen Zhiheng like this.

"Sir, I heard that the young lady had a big argument with the lady on the day she left."

After hearing this, Wen Zhiheng immediately turned around and walked towards Jingjiaoyuan.

Seeing this, Pomegranate gritted his teeth and followed.

In the garden, Madam Wen was talking to Wen Zhirou in an intimate tone.

Mrs. Wen smiled and said as soon as she saw Wen Zhiheng.

"You came just in time. Someone was just about to call you for dinner."

Wen Zhiheng asked in a hoarse voice with deep eyes.

"Mother, Eleven is gone, right?"

When Mrs. Wen heard this, the smile on her face suddenly stopped and turned into a hint of anger.

"I'm leaving now, it's no big deal."

Wen Zhiheng's throat was choked with sobs, and it took him a long time to speak.

"You know how important Eleven is to me. She left and you didn't even leave me a message."

Mrs. Wen was furious.

"You only know Chen Shiyi. What's so good about that woman that you would have to go to your mother to ask for an explanation?"

"I want to know what happened on the day she left?"

Mrs. Wen sneered.

"What happened? Chen Shiyi is a very vicious woman. She has been threatening me with words. If I don't give her the indenture, she will make you favor a concubine and kill your wife, causing unrest in the mansion. Listen, is this something a good girl would say?"

"What else?"

"I gave her exactly five hundred taels, five hundred taels. Many people can't earn this much in their lifetime, but she actually bargained and asked for two thousand taels. She has a huge appetite..."

Wen Zhiheng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

"Mother, you only gave her two thousand taels, and she can't even afford a decent house out there..."

"you…"

"Mother, do you really not care at all about how she took care of our family during those years?"

Madam Liao, who had been standing respectfully by the side, saw that Madam Wen was speechless, and then knelt down in front of Wen Zhiheng.

"Sir, let me be fair. On that day, the Eleventh Lady broke into Jingjiao Garden and started to beat and scold me. She also tied me up with ropes, locked the door of the main house in front of Madam, and slapped me in the face. It was a great disgrace to Madam. It's not a big deal for me to be wronged, but Madam, who was threatened and intimidated by the Eleventh Lady, you still gave her money to keep her safe. You are extremely kind."

"Your Highness, you don't know that the Eleventh Lady, relying on your favor, doesn't take the servants of the entire mansion seriously. Your Highness can ask other people. In Yueyingxuan, we often hear complaints from servants, and even insults."

"It's not like that, it's not like that..."

Shi Liu, who had been guarding outside the door, rushed in regardless of everything and knelt in front of Wen Zhiheng.

"Sir, that's not the case. The girl left, but she still wants to frame her."

The moment Madam Liao saw the pomegranate appear, she felt sick.

Didn't we tell this girl to shut up?

Why is she still here?

Wen Zhiheng raised his hand, motioning Shi Liu to continue.

"The girl has been staying in Yueyingxuan and rarely goes out. She usually only goes to two places, one is your study, and the other is the pond in the courtyard. During this short journey, she was met with cold faces and ridicule from the servants on the road. They all laughed at the girl for being scheming and dreaming of turning a pheasant into a phoenix. The girl said that those were trivial matters and she didn't want you to be distracted by her. But, but, on your birthday, the girl had already prepared a birthday gift and wanted to give it to you, but she was locked up and locked in Yueyingxuan for a whole day..."
