Chapter 80 Chapter 80 He said, Feng Wenyu, don’t apologize…
==Chapter 80==
The next day, the whole village came alive, and the kitchen was bustling with activity preparing breakfast.
Shen Jingchen came to say goodbye early in the morning. Feng Wenyu was surprised and invited him to have breakfast.
"The city gates have probably just opened. Why don't you stay for breakfast, Master Shen, before leaving?"
Shen Jingchen glanced at her and lowered his head again. "Miss Feng, I appreciate your kindness. It's still a long way to the city gate. Thank you for taking me in yesterday."
Feng Wenyu was unable to keep the guest and didn't know what to say, so he could only say:
"It rained yesterday, and the mountain roads are difficult to travel. Please be careful along the way, Mr. Shen."
She turned her head and looked at the yard outside. The rain water on the ground had not dried up completely yet. One could imagine the condition of the mountain road.
It will take some time to walk to the city gate.
Thinking of this, Feng Wenyu couldn't help but say, "How about I ask my servants to escort Master Shen?"
There was a hint of worry in her eyes, and her dark eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Shen Jingchen saw it, and his fingers in his sleeves moved slightly. Finally, he lowered his head:
"No, it's just a mountain road, it won't be a problem."
After being rejected repeatedly, Feng Wenyu seemed at a loss and paused for a moment before speaking again, saying softly, "Then, Master Chen, have a safe journey."
Shen Jingchen bowed and turned to leave.
When he walked out of the yard, he happened to see the cook bringing in breakfast. His eyes fell on the food box for a moment, and the corners of his lips seemed to tighten a little. Soon, he forced himself to look away and stepped out of the yard completely.
Feng Wenyu stood at the door, silently watching his back as he left.
Jinshu came forward, bowed quietly, and whispered, "Miss, everything is ready."
On the other side, Shen Jingchen left the manor. He stopped at the door for a moment, turned his head and looked around before continuing on his way.
However, before he reached the main road, he was blocked.
Someone was sitting high on the horse, his eyes cold and he sneered sarcastically: "Master Shen, come with me?"
When Shen Jingchen saw the person coming, his expression changed slightly. He seemed to realize something and suddenly turned around to look at the manor. The manor was still bustling with people coming in and out of the door, which was completely different from the dead silence he had expected.
Feng Wenzhou's voice rang out: "Don't wait anymore. The person you are waiting for will not come."
Shen Jingchen's heart sank. It seemed that his trip today had been expected by others.
Shen Jingchen didn't struggle. He looked up at Feng Wenzhou calmly: "...When?"
When was it discovered?
Was Feng Wenyu's stay at the manor a trap set for him from the very beginning?
Feng Wenzhou could tell what he was asking, but he had no intention of answering. He nodded to the person behind him and said coldly, "Send him directly to the Dali Temple."
Dali Temple.
Lu Minxing is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple.
Gu Yushi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. How much did the Feng family know?
He couldn't help but look back at Zhuangzi, feeling a little self-deprecating. How real and fake was Feng Wenyu's concern for him just now?
Feng Wenzhou flicked the whip in his hand and pursed his lips:
"If you didn't want to make my sister feel uneasy, do you think you could set foot in this manor?"
After all, Shen Jingchen saved A'mei once, so this trip to stay in Zhuangzi took place. Feng Wenzhou didn't want A'mei to remember his kindness.
Wrong is wrong, and it is difficult to offset merits and demerits.
Before Shen Jingchen was taken away, he said: "I am a commoner, how can I enter the Dali Temple?"
This probing made Feng Wenzhou look down, frowning in annoyance:
"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Asking him to go to the Dali Temple was naturally to let him identify Lu Minxing.
Before Shen Jingchen could speak, Feng Wenzhou said in a cold voice: “I heard that the third lady of the Lu family is weak and sickly, so she rarely appears in front of outsiders.”
Shen Jingchen's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly raised his head and looked at Feng Wenzhou.
Feng Wenzhou and he looked at each other coldly. "I remember that the mistress of the Shen family had a little daughter. Because she was weak, she stayed in Jiangnan to recuperate. But I sent people to check, and when the entire Shen family was executed, there was no such person."
Shen Jingchen didn't speak, but his breathing was rapid. After a moment, he said in a deep voice:
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Feng Wenzhou was too lazy to talk nonsense:
"Lu Minxing entered the Three Law Courts. Master Shen is a smart man. He should know that he is in danger, so he would not hesitate to take such a risk."
Evidence of a crime is difficult to find, but easy to destroy.
If Shen Jingchen succeeds today, with Feng Wenyu in his hands, the Feng family will definitely be cautious. With the Feng family manipulating it, it will not be easy for Lu Minxing to convict him.
Thinking of this, Feng Wenzhou wanted to cut Shen Jingchen into pieces.
He took advantage of his sister's compassion to get close to her, and now he has evil intentions towards her. The reputation of the women kidnapped by the robbers will definitely plummet. Even if they are rescued safely, they will still cause outsiders to speculate.
Even if the Feng family can use the excuse that A-mei was staying at the farm for a while to cover up her disappearance during this period, there is no wall that is impenetrable.
The more he understood Shen Jingchen's thoughts, the more Feng Wenzhou felt that even if this man died ten or a hundred times, it would not be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Shen Jingchen actually dared to ask him what he was going to do.
Feng Wenzhou's gaze passed over Shen Jingchen. Every time his gaze passed over him, Shen Jingchen felt a chill in his bones, as if he were falling into an ice cellar.
Feng Wenzhou leaned forward little by little, his voice so soft that only Shen Jingchen could hear:
"Lu Minxing must die, and your sister can live."
Shen Jingchen’s pupils suddenly shrank.
Feng Wenzhou took in Shen Jingchen's reaction, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. The next moment, he whipped his horse whip and rode away abruptly, leaving only his voice:
"This is her only way to survive. If you don't believe it, Mr. Shen can try other ways out."
Shen Jingchen looked back, and saw that Feng Wenzhou was extremely fast and had already arrived at the gate of the manor. He dismounted and walked straight into the manor. The main courtyard was very quiet. Feng Wenyu was still standing at the door, and she was not the only one.
Feng Wenzhou saw another person and sneered:
"You run fast."
Leave Shen Jingchen to him alone to deal with it.
Gu Yushi didn't even turn his head: "You alone are enough."
Feng Wenzhou glanced at Feng Wenyu, not having time to argue with Gu Yushi anymore, and said in a muffled voice:
"He has been sent to the Dali Temple."
Feng Wenyu finally came back to her senses. A lot of things had happened recently. The engagement was broken off because her second brother and Gu Yu had come to her and planned all of this.
Otherwise, how could Shen Jingchen get the news of her coming to Zhuangzi so quickly.
Everything is intentional.
But Feng Wenyu really didn't expect that Shen Jingchen would jump into the trap so impatiently. When she learned last night that a group of suspicious people appeared near the villa and Shen Jingchen had put drugs in the water tank under the cover of night, she was stunned for a long time.
She actually didn't sleep all night.
She was thinking about her past life. In her past life, Lu Minxing had never been caught, so Shen Jingchen had time to take his time.
In the previous life, there was no one to support Gu Yu. After the Gao Party and the Second Prince's faction fell, the Fourth Prince's faction was also suddenly impeached. The first to be impeached was the Qiao family, which affected the entire group.
A terrible guess arose in her heart.
Was Shen Jingchen responsible for the sudden misfortune of the Qiao family in their previous life?
Qiao Anyu trusts Shen Jingchen far more than she does. If Shen Jingchen wants to use Qiao Anyu for something, Qiao Anyu may not even notice it.
What about her?
During the two years that she had been in contact with Shen Jingchen, had she inadvertently revealed any information to Shen Jingchen?
Including that time when Shen Jingchen suddenly came to visit her, was he worried about her illness, or did he have some ulterior motive?
The entire Gu family has no secrets from her, and she can enter and exit Gu Yushi's study as she pleases. When she is not on guard against Shen Jingchen, there are so many things Shen Jingchen can do.
The more Feng Wenyu thought about it, the paler his face turned, and his whole body felt cold.
Someone raised his hand and touched her forehead, feeling a cold sweat on his hand, and frowned instantly:
"What’s wrong with you?"
Feng Wenyu came back to her senses, and Gu Yushi's face caught her eye. She forced a smug look and said, "...I'm fine."
Her words are not at all credible.
Feng Wenzhou slapped Gu Yushi's hand away and said in a cold voice, "Don't touch me."
Feng Wenyu suddenly said, "Second brother, I want to talk to him alone."
There were only three people present, so the "he" Feng Wenyu was referring to could only be Gu Yushi.
Feng Wenzhou frowned, and Gu Yushi looked at her expression, frowning slightly. Feng Wenzhou said nothing, but glanced at Gu Yushi with a warning, and said in a muffled voice:
"I'll wait for you to come home together."
After Feng Wenzhou left, Gu Yushi was the first to speak: "Don't overthink it."
He knew Feng Wenyu so well that he could tell at a glance what Feng Wenyu was thinking about.
Feng Wenyu couldn't help but said:
"How could I not want to!"
When she knew she couldn't hide it from Gu Yu, she didn't hide anything at all. Her shoulders trembled a little: "If I really make a big mistake, I will be blamed even if I die!"
Seeing that she was getting more and more excited, Gu Yushi had to hold her shoulders and let her calm down.
"The Gu Mansion's lack of defense is only aimed at you."
It was a bit too fanciful for Shen Jingchen to want to do something by going in and out of Gu's house.
Gu Yushi glanced at her and said vaguely, "You are not interested in court affairs. Even if you want to reveal some information, there is no information to reveal."
Feng Wenyu's self-blame and internal friction came to an abrupt end.
She took a deep breath and said in a purr, "You'd better stop talking."
Anyway, no one likes to hear what you say.
But she had to admit that these words made her feel better. She seemed to have thought too much. When Gu Yushi mentioned the affairs of the court to her, she mostly forgot about them. If Gu Yushi talked about it too much, she would even find it annoying.
Even if Shen Jingchen wanted to get some information out of her, he was helpless.
When people calm down, their thoughts become clear. When Feng Wenyu looked up at Gu Yu, some words were not so difficult to say:
"Feel sorry."
Gu Yushi was stunned. The world seemed to have become quiet, with only these two words remaining.
After a long moment, his voice was a little hoarse: "What does this have to do with you? He deceived you."
He felt inexplicably blocked and depressed in his heart. After all, he really blamed her.
Blame her for giving others a chance.
How can it be said that the proper manners between people can be without any scruples or boundaries if one's heart is clear and bright?
But when she really apologized, he didn't feel happy at all.
His heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by someone, causing it to ache and swell. He breathed with difficulty, yet felt so stuffy that he couldn't control himself at all.
His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible:
"...Don't apologize."
He said, Feng Wenyu, don't apologize.
It's clearly his fault.
He thought he could bear it all and let her do whatever she wanted, but in the end, he blamed her for not knowing the limits.
A drop of cold water fell on the back of Feng Wenyu's hand, and she looked up in surprise.
