Chapter 149 Shen Wenyuan Exposed
Chi Moyan was watching nearby, and rushed over as soon as he received the news.
Chen Li found an excuse to send the maid away so as not to be discovered, and secretly met him in a small compartment on the side of the boudoir.
Learn the whole story.
Chi Moyan looked at Chen Li and said:
"Don't report this to the police first. If Du Juan refuses to reveal who is behind this, there is no point in reporting it. It will only alert the enemy."
If the person behind the scenes had any shrewdness, he would not send a servant who would confess himself if caught to do such a thing.
In all likelihood, Dujuan received money to keep her mouth shut and would never confess, even if she died.
Once she reports the case, she will take the responsibility herself, and the matter will be left unresolved...
"Since it's an aphrodisiac, it's useless if you're the only one taking it. Let's wait and see who will come." Chi Moyan said.
As soon as the words fell.
There was a knock on the door from outside:
"Miss, Master Fan greets you!"
Chen Li's eyes widened. Fan Ziyi? Did he bribe Du Juan? I still thought he was a good person.
Unexpectedly...
Chi Moyan winked at Chen Li, picked up the teacup on the table, made a gesture of covering his face with his sleeves, and poured the tea on his sleeves.
Shen Li understood and nodded.
If Fan Ziyi had nothing to do with this matter, Du Juan would not have brought up the drugged tea.
If it matters, she should be careful and not drink it.
…
The flower hall for receiving distinguished guests.
Fan Ziyi was still gentle and polite. "I heard that you and Brother Shen will be returning to Beijing the day after tomorrow. I still have some questions about making sauce, so I hurried here..."
Chen Li looked at Fan Ziyi and felt uneasy, remembering that Chi Moyan was hiding next door...
He is such a great man.
She calmed herself down a bit and said, "Mr. Fan is very filial. I believe your mother will like the sauce you made."
While the host and the guests were talking, Dujuan brought tea and cakes to the table.
"I must give Miss Shen a banquet to thank her for helping me a lot when I return to Beijing." Fan Ziyi picked up the teacup on the table and said with a smile:
“Today I will use tea instead of wine to toast Miss Shen.”
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, and she followed Chi Moyan's instructions just now, holding up the teacup and covering her face:
"Mr. Fan, you are too polite..."
Fan Ziyi finished his drink.
Then he talked to her in detail about making sauce.
But the next moment, An Shiqi walked in and said:
"Miss, Master Chi is here!"
Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Fan Ziyi and said, "I have an appointment with Master Chi to discuss some things, so it is not convenient to discuss it with Master Fan today. Let's talk about it another day."
Fan Ziyi frowned. Which Mr. Chi? Chen Li also made an appointment with an outsider?
I didn't expect that such a good plan would be ruined by someone.
Fan Ziyi's expression did not change at all, and he was not surprised by the change. "I won't take up too much of Miss Shen's time. There are only two questions. I wonder if Miss Shen can ask your distinguished guest to wait for a moment?"
Another quarter of an hour.
The medicine is about to take effect!
By then, Shen Li, who was affected by the drug, would not be able to walk out of this door.
If Shen Li hadn’t already known that there was something wrong with the tea, she really wouldn’t have heard anything wrong with what he said.
"But I never wait for anyone." A cold male voice came from outside the door.
A young man in black clothes walked in.
He was born with a handsome face, and his eyes were full of frivolity. Although he looked like a scholar, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, revealing a bit of coldness.
If Song Heng is the early spring in March, then Chi Moyan should be the frost in winter.
"Chi Moyan?" Fan Ziyi was surprised when he saw him.
Du Juan, who was outside the door, didn't stop him and said anxiously, "How did you just barge in? Get out now!"
When Chen Li saw him, she felt much more at ease and said, "Du Juan! Go down! Master Chi is my honored guest."
"I dare not keep Master Chi waiting for too long! Master Fan, I do have something important to do today. Seventeen, show the guest away!"
An Shiqi walked up to Fan Ziyi and said, "Please!"
Fan Ziyi was anxious. Chen Li had just drunk the drugged tea. If he left, she and Chi Moyan would be in the same room. Wouldn't that be an advantage for Chi Moyan?
"The scenery at Luoxia Pavilion is nice, let's go there to talk." Chi Moyan said.
Shen Li nodded, "Okay."
The two men got up and left.
Fan Ziyi couldn't find an excuse, and it was useless for him to stay. He could only wink at Du Juan and tell her to go find Shen Wenyuan quickly.
There was no reason for him to call Chen Li back.
But as an older brother, it would be easy for Shen Wenyuan to trick her back to him.
There's still room for maneuver!
…
Chen Li followed Chi Moyan to Luoxia Pavilion.
It was dusk at this time. In the distance, the setting sun and the lone wild goose were flying together, and the autumn water and the sky were the same color.
Chen Li had no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery, her heart was filled with fear:
"I have no grudge against him, why would he do this?"
If Seventeen hadn't discovered it in time, she would have been infected.
If it weren't for Chi Moyan, she would not have known that it was Fan Ziyi who wanted to harm her, and would have become friends with someone who was plotting against her.
The thought of this made her feel horrified.
"It's not just him." Chi Moyan sat casually in a corner of the pavilion and said lightly:
"If Shen Wenyuan hadn't asked you out, how could you have met Fan Ziyi? You are usually in the capital, under the eyes of Master Shen, so some people can't do anything they want. This opportunity was created by someone with ulterior motives."
Shen Li was stunned, "You mean my second brother? But he is very good to me..."
She had just finished speaking.
An Shiqi came back and saluted, saying, "I saw Du Juan go to Shen Wenyuan's yard with my own eyes."
She didn't leave with them.
Chi Moyan arranged for her to keep an eye on Du Juan to see who she would go after.
He deliberately did not catch Dujuan in order to identify the person behind the scenes.
"What?" Shen Li was stunned, "Impossible! How could my second brother do such a thing... I am his biological sister..."
Chi Moyan sneered, "Now Shen Wenyuan thinks you are poisoned, he must hurry to find you and trick you into looking for Fan Ziyi to prevent anything from happening between you and me."
As soon as the words fell.
Shen Wenyuan rushed over:
"Li'er, why are you here? I've been looking for you everywhere. The jade pendant my mother gave me is missing. Can you help me find it?"
Shen Li’s face turned pale.
Chi Moyan was right, he really came. He found an excuse to trick me away...
Shen Wenyuan hadn't finished speaking yet.
Chi Moyan sneered, "Seventeen, beat him up, it's my turn."
Upon hearing this, An Shiqi immediately rushed forward and started punching and kicking him.
"Ah...what are you doing? How dare you, a slut, commit treason..." Shen Wenyuan shouted angrily.
Chi Moyan looked at Chen Li:
"Let's go. I'll escort you back to Beijing."
Shen Li was sad and frightened, and had no idea what to do.
After hearing Chi Moyan's words, he came back to his senses. Without looking at Shen Wenyuan again, he turned around and walked away with him.
…
Chen Li cried all the way back.
Chi Moyan was standing outside the carriage, looking up at the bright moonlight.
"Master Chi, Miss Chen Li has been crying... How can I persuade her?" An Shiqi had been with her for two hours, and she was not very good at persuading others.
Chi Moyan looked at her calmly, "What are you trying to persuade me to do?"
It was just right that she cried more miserably, so that Master Shen would feel more sorry for his daughter and deal with Shen Wenyuan more harshly.
He helped Shen Li, not to do good deeds, but to reveal Shen Wenyuan's true face.
He served the Crown Prince's Consort, whom he respected the most, and did his best to serve her.
