Chapter 114 Looking for Someone
He snatched the lantern and gave it to her, but she left him and chased after another man.
Xie Jingyu even wanted to kill someone.
He let go of Chen Li and jumped down from the platform. Chen Li was a little confused.
You were fighting fiercely for the lantern just now and were about to get it, so why are you giving it up now?
Shen Li looked down and saw Shen Wan's leaving back.
Shen Li, “…???”
Why did my sister leave?
Could it be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
You know what, it really works.
Xie Jingyu was under his control.
The competition stage was about to collapse, so Chen Li grabbed the lantern and jumped down.
Chen Wan chased after the person. At first, he could still see the person's silhouette, but there were so many people at the lantern festival that in a few blinks of an eye, he could no longer see the person.
Chen Wan was extremely anxious and kept walking, but as she was walking, her wrist was grabbed. When she turned around, she saw a pitch-black face.
Xie Jingyu's hand was so strong that he was about to explode with anger. Shen Wan's forehead was shaking with pain, "I have something to do, please let me go!"
Xie Jingyu gritted his teeth and said, "You're not going to stop until you piss me off to death tonight, are you?"
It would be fine if she wished for a divorce, after all, he knew she wanted one, but she chased after another man right in front of him, as if he didn't exist?!
Shen Wan was anxious, "I really have something to do..."
Not only did Xie Jingyu not let go, he exerted force and Shen Wanren fell into his arms, "Who is that man?"
The words almost came out from between his teeth.
Shen Wan was about to go crazy, "He helped me, he is my benefactor!"
She chased him so closely, but she couldn't catch up. There were so many people at the lantern festival that she lost him in the blink of an eye.
Xie Jingyu's face was frozen with anger, thinking he had misheard, "Benefactor? What did he do for you?"
Shen Wan couldn't answer this, so she said anxiously, "Help me find him first."
Xie Jingyu asked, "Since he has done you a favor, don't you know where he is?"
If only things were that simple.
If she knew where to find him, she wouldn't have to be so anxious.
In her previous life, she discovered the affair between Xiao Yun and Shen Wu and was banished to the cold palace. Only the eunuch in charge of guarding the cold palace brought her food. Later, she burned herself to death in the cold palace. It was the eunuch who found a broken jar and collected her ashes, and buried them together with the jade pendant under the tree in the cold palace.
She was possessed by the jade pendant and could not leave the cold palace. The eunuch sympathized with her situation. In addition, the cold palace was lonely, so he would go to the tree to chat with her and tell her what happened in the palace.
The young eunuch was called Fu'an. He was the only one left in his family who died in a natural disaster. He said that he had a relative who was sold into the palace to be a eunuch before he was born. So he went to Beijing to look for his relatives. However, when he arrived in Beijing, he not only did not find his relatives, but also met a scammer who was also sold into the palace. Because he offended someone, he was sent to guard the cold palace.
She heard Fu'an say that he was cheated at the Lantern Festival. She happened to see Fu'an at the Lantern Festival, so it was most likely this time.
Fu'an had done her a favor, and she couldn't bear to watch him follow in the same footsteps as in his previous life and be sold into the palace again.
Chen Wan looked at the vast sea of people and glared at Xie Jingyu angrily. She turned around and walked back. Xie Jingyu said, "You're not looking for me anymore?"
Shen Wan huffed, “I’ll ask my eldest brother to help me find it!”
Chen Li is with Princess Jiangling. Going to Chen Li for help now must be a real emergency.
Xie Jingyu said, "I'll help you find it."
"Hurry up."
It was too late once she was sold into the palace.
Xie Jingyu said, "Even if I have to turn Kyoto upside down, I will help you find the person."
Chen Ping asked, "What does that person look like?"
Fu'an's appearance flashed through Chen Wan's mind. It was very ordinary and indescribable. She pulled Xie Jingyu towards the calligraphy and painting stall over there, borrowed paper and pen from the stall, and quickly drew Fu'an's appearance.
Handing the portrait to Xie Jingyu, Shen Wan said, "Please help me find him as soon as possible, and don't let him be sold into the palace."
...Why does it sound like she will be sold into the palace?
Xie Jingyu handed the portrait to Chen Ping and said, "Go and do this."
Chen Ping took the portrait and went to find someone.
Chen Ping left with the portrait and soon returned. Shen Wan looked at him and Chen Ping said, "I have handed the portrait to the City Patrol. Please help find it."
The Prince of Jingbei asked the City Patrol to help find someone. The City Patrol did not dare to neglect it. It was much easier than asking her elder brother to help or asking the servants in the mansion to find someone.
More importantly, sending the servants in the mansion to look for someone would inevitably alert the old lady and the others. When they asked her about it, she would not be able to explain why she was looking for someone who had come all the way to Beijing to look for relatives and had nothing to do with her.
Shen Wan was relieved. Seeing Xie Jingyu looking at her, Shen Wan said, "Thank you very much for helping me find someone."
Although Xie Jingyu stopped her, there were so many people at the Lantern Festival that she might not be able to catch up.
Xie Jingyu said, "The lanterns are gone."
Shen Wan let out an “Ah” before realizing what he was talking about. She said happily, “Was it snatched away by my eldest brother?”
With a bright smile that dazzled everyone's eyes, Xie Jingyu said, "I didn't get it, so why are you so happy?"
“No, no…”
But the corners of his mouth clearly couldn't be suppressed.
The point is not that the eldest brother snatched the lantern, but that Xie Jingyu couldn't beat her eldest brother. If Xie Jingyu bullies her in the future, the eldest brother will hopefully be able to protect her and beat Xie Jingyu up. This is the most important thing.
Xie Jingyu looked into Chen Wan's eyes. Chen Wan dodged his gaze and said, "Where else do you want to go? I'll accompany you."
Who will accompany whom in the end?
Xie Jingyu shook his head and laughed.
Shen Wan pulled him forward. He had slept enough during the day and was not sleepy at all at night.
After walking half the street, Chen Wan felt a little tired and was ready to go back home. She was thinking about how to talk to Xie Jingyu, as this man looked very energetic.
Just when Shen Wan hesitated, Xie Jingyu moved his hand, and Shen Wan could no longer pull him, so she turned around to look at him.
Before she could see the expression on his face clearly, Xie Jingyu stretched out his hand and hugged her waist. He turned his body to the side, and Shen Wan saw a short arrow shot past her ear and went straight into the tree beside her.
Shen Wanxin trembled violently.
When she poked her head out of Xie Jingyu's arms, she saw six or seven masked men in black around her.
He held a knife in his hand, with a cold and murderous look.
Chen Wan was a little dazed. In her previous life's lantern festival, only the emperor was assassinated. She had never heard of anyone assassinating Xie Jingyu. Who sent these assassins, and why would they want Xie Jingyu's life?
Shen Wan was terrified, and Xie Jingyu comforted her, "Don't be afraid."
As soon as he finished speaking, the assassin moved the knife in his hand and spoke.
"kill!"
