Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Shen Jingchen is missing! ...
==Chapter 52==
After sending Qiao Anyu away, Feng Wenyu felt very uncomfortable.
She sat there in a daze, and even when Yan Yunhe arrived, she still couldn't muster up any energy. She could only glance behind Yan Yunhe and ask, "Where's he?"
Yan Yunhe felt very depressed and teased her deliberately:
"Master Xie has gone back. He is not like me who is idle and unemployed."
Feng Wenyu couldn't laugh.
Yan Yunhe couldn't bear to see her like this, so he sat down and asked directly, "Can't you let it go?"
Feng Wenyu couldn't explain it clearly. She felt both grateful and guilty towards Shen Jingchen. In addition, the dream made her have complicated emotions towards Shen Jingchen. At least, she couldn't just leave Shen Jingchen alone in the Jiaofangsi.
but--
She muttered, "Mother said she would redeem him."
Yan Yunhe smiled, a faint smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Ayu, do you think it's not enough?"
Redeeming Shen Jingchen's freedom, can't she repay Shen Jingchen's kindness to her?
Feng Wenyu's forehead ached slightly. She said, "I don't know."
have to.
Yan Yunhe didn't force her anymore. If he felt guilty, he would increase the compensation for Shen Jingchen. There was no need to embarrass her. He made arrangements without hesitation:
"Redeem him, give him money, and settle him away from the capital."
You can redeem yourself, but you can't stay in the capital and be an eyesore.
Without waiting for Feng Wenyu to frown, Yan Yunhe said directly, "Staying in the capital will only cause trouble. Why not get away from home and find a place where no one knows you and start anew, right?"
He spoke as if he was doing Shen Jingchen's own good, as if he had no selfish motives at all.
Feng Wenyu fell silent. She knew that this was the best outcome.
But, she muttered softly, "That's easy to say."
Yan Yunhe didn't hear clearly, so she asked her to say it again. Feng Wenyu's voice was a little louder:
"I say, it's not that easy to redeem someone at the Jiaofangsi!"
It would be fine for others, but Shen Jingchen is the descendant of a criminal.
In the dream, Gu Yushi had already entered the cabinet and was highly trusted by the emperor. However, she was unable to redeem Shen Jingchen by using the names of Gu Yushi and the Feng family. Redeeming Shen Jingchen was not as easy as they said.
She didn't suspect anything. Firstly, she had never been to places like the Jiaofangsi before, and secondly, didn't she see that Qiao Anyu had never been able to redeem Shen Jingchen.
She had no idea that Qiao Anyu didn't redeem Shen Jingchen because the Qiao family didn't allow her to have such thoughts.
Yan Yunhe raised his hand and touched her forehead. Feng Wenyu dodged it, not understanding why. Yan Yunhe clicked his tongue lightly.
"I'm not stupid, why are you talking nonsense?" Difficult? What's so difficult about it?
The Jiaofangsi only cares about money. Redeeming an actor is a very simple matter as long as no one is deliberately forcing them to do so.
Feng Wenyu's brows were twisted together, and she didn't believe what Yan Yunhe said at all.
Yan Yunhe didn't argue with her.
After leaving the Minister's Mansion, Yan Yunhe did not plan to wait for the Feng family to handle this matter. After all, the Feng family redeemed Shen Jingchen, and he was worried that someone would implicate Feng Wenyu in this matter.
Feng Wenyu had no idea what Yan Yunhe was going to do.
And an uninvited guest also arrived in the Jiaofangsi.
In Shen Jingchen's room, his hand had been bandaged. Li Fengyu not only wanted to destroy his hand, but there was also a bruise at the corner of his lips. Only his eyes were still clear. He looked at the person who came with a slightly frown.
The man who came was wearing a dark blue robe. He seemed to have been in a high position for a long time. Just standing there, looking at people with dark eyes, made people feel pressured and a little breathless.
Shen Jingchen actually recognized the person.
When he was first sent to the Jiaofangsi, he was stubborn and self-righteous, and his temper was severely tempered. For a long time, he always felt that it would be better for him to die on the execution ground with the Shen family.
Whenever this thought came to his mind, he would remember the look his mother gave him when he was replaced by the death row inmates, as if she had noticed something.
In the dim cell, her eyes were surprisingly bright.
She didn't say anything, but seemed to be desperately telling him - to live.
Survive.
In the face of these three words, pride and nobleness are not worth mentioning.
During the years in the Music Bureau, he had heard about Feng Wenyu. With the promotion of Lord Feng, the Feng family also rose in prominence. The marriage between Feng's granddaughter and the new number one scholar was widely rumored in the capital.
Of course, there were rumors within the Jiaofangsi.
Without Gu Yushi's knowledge, he was like a rat in the gutter, spying on him and Feng Wenyu countless times.
Jealousy? Bitterness?
Actually, none of them.
He was calmer than he had imagined. The 122 lives of the Shen family were enough to make him sober. Being in the Jiaofang Bureau, he had long lost the ability to love.
The private room was very quiet. There was someone guarding the outer room and no one spoke for a long time.
Gu Yushi's eyes were extremely obscure, and the words of Elder Feng kept lingering in his mind - Shen Jingchen had saved Feng Wenyu.
He suddenly remembered why he had always left Shen Jingchen alone in his previous life. It was obvious that with just a word from him, it would be a simple matter to deal with Shen Jingchen.
Because he doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
Because of what Yan Yunhe did to him, Feng Wenyu and Yan Yunhe had a rift. After he and Feng Wenyu got married, he didn't even need to do anything to Yan Yunhe. He just needed to remain silent appropriately when Yan Yunhe appeared. It would be impossible for Feng Wenyu to get along with Yan Yunhe without any grudges.
Yan Yunhe also noticed this and appeared less and less frequently, and finally left the capital and never returned.
With the lessons of the past before him, he will not make the same mistake.
Therefore, no matter how much he hated Shen Jingchen in his previous life, he never attacked Shen Jingchen.
Just a little friendship was enough to make him afraid to act against Shen Jingchen. Now that he knew that Shen Jingchen had saved Feng Wenyu, what could he do to Shen Jingchen?
Gu Yushi finally spoke, his voice a little cold:
"I remember the Shen family's ancestral home is in Qi and Lu."
His tone seemed calm, yet mixed with a hint of subtle disgust.
Shen Jingchen looked up suddenly. The Shen family was a thorn in his heart, and it hurt when he touched it. Gu Yushi mentioned the Shen family at this time, which made him alert: "What do you mean, Lord Gu?"
When he heard the words "Master Gu", Gu Yushi's eyes instantly darkened.
After just one encounter, Gu Yushi realized one thing - Shen Jingchen knew him, and this knowledge was based on Feng Wenyu.
In other words, in his previous life, ten years before Shen Jingchen and Feng Wenyu came into contact, he had already paid attention to Feng Wenyu.
What Yan Yunhe could think of, Gu Yushi could naturally think of as well.
His disgust for Shen Jingchen often clouded his reason, but now he forced himself to calm down and immediately realized that something was wrong.
The timing of Shen Jingchen's exposure was too coincidental.
Logically speaking, Feng Wenyu should not have had any contact with Shen Jingchen. In the previous life, it was Qiao Anyu who exposed Shen Jingchen to Feng Wenyu.
The same is true in this life.
With the Feng family intercepting, the news about Shen Jingchen could not reach Feng Wenyu's ears at all.
If Li Fengyu hadn't happened to cause trouble on the day of their gathering, Feng Wenyu would never have gone to the Jiaofangsi to watch the fun.
There was an imperceptible scrutiny in Gu Yushi's gaze towards Shen Jingchen.
He suddenly remembered that when Feng Wenyu and Shen Jingchen came into contact in his previous life, it was when he first entered the cabinet. At that time, he was busy with official duties and returned home a little late for three or five days in a row. After finishing his work, he deliberately returned home early to apologize to Feng Wenyu.
When he returned home, he was greeted by an empty mansion.
When he got the hesitant answer from his servants, Gu Yushi frowned, but did not think much about it. He asked someone to prepare a carriage and prepared to go to the Jiaofangsi to pick up the person in person.
Until he ran into Feng Wenyu and Shen Jingchen getting along very happily in the market.
Gu Yushi was too familiar with the look in a man's eyes when he looked at a woman. Both he and Yan Yunhe had shown that look.
Gu Yushi subconsciously called her, "Madam."
It was a very deliberate declaration of sovereignty, but perhaps because of the crowd, she didn't hear it. The man lowered his head and said something, and the two of them turned and left together.
Gu Yushi still remembers his emotions at that time, as if there was something blocking his chest and he couldn't breathe.
The carriage was not as fast as walking in the crowd. When Gu Yushi chased after them, he could no longer find their backs.
He remembered that day, he went back to the mansion and waited for a long time, but Feng Wenyu did not come home. Instead, he received a summons from the emperor in the evening.
The man's identity, whether Feng Wenyu knew his feelings for her, and why the two of them were so close, all these questions were hidden in his heart, making him very upset when he met the emperor.
He easily lost his composure in matters concerning Feng Wenyu, and when Lord Feng was alive he was accused of being too extreme more than once.
When he returned home, it was already dark and Feng Wenyu had gone to bed early. He was forced to swallow all the questions in his mind.
After a restless sleep, he had to get up and go to court before dawn. When he came back, the mansion was empty again. When she came back in the evening, she saw him with a cold face again. Gu Yushi felt very upset.
"A busy person also knows to go home?"
He was annoyed when he thought of that pretty boy, and his voice was cold: "You are not home either."
She widened her eyes in surprise, as if she couldn't believe what he said, and as if she thought he was blaming her, so she angrily and annoyedly chased him away.
The two of them were inexplicably in a cold war.
Gu Yushi couldn't stand this, so he went home early for several days to wait for her. However, he felt very disappointed. After she came home, she put on a cold face and refused to talk to him.
He wanted to ask something, but was worried that she would think he was questioning him. If he brought up other topics, she would not respond. She also did not allow him to touch her at night. The more he held it in, the more uncomfortable he felt.
When he ran into her with that man again, he was also annoyed. After returning home that day, she seemed to have something to talk to him about, but he was holding his breath and just said that he was busy with official business and stayed in the study directly.
That was the first time he stayed in the study. It was so cold and deserted that he couldn't sleep all night.
He kept looking at the study door, hoping someone would come to see him.
But his expectations were dashed, and he waited in vain all night until dawn. He went to court with a gloomy face, and the atmosphere was gloomy for several days. The emperor noticed that something was wrong and subtly reminded him to pay attention to his personal emotions.
A few days were enough for him to calm down. He wanted to find Feng Wenyu to explain everything, but when he returned to the mansion, he was greeted by an even emptier house.
——Feng Wenyu returned to the Feng family.
In the twelve years since they got married, Feng Wenyu has never made a fuss about going back to her parents' home. This is the first time.
Why?
Because of that pretty boy?
Gu Yushi stood there alone, stunned for a long time. It felt like there was a hole in his heart, and cold wind kept blowing in.
…
Gu Yushi closed his eyes. He couldn't bear to recall the chaos of that time. He didn't forget the purpose of coming to see Shen Jingchen today:
"I will redeem you and arrange for someone to send you back to Qilu."
Shen Jingchen didn't relax at all, his eyes were still alert: "What is Master Gu's purpose."
It's impossible to help him for no reason.
Gu Yushi ignored his vigilance. The memories made him more and more annoyed with Shen Jingchen, especially the time period when he appeared. He couldn't help but wonder if Shen Jingchen did it on purpose.
Gu Yushi's voice became colder:
"I have only one request: leave the capital immediately and never come back."
Shen Jingchen frowned. He keenly sensed Gu Yushi's dislike for him, and he didn't know where this emotion came from.
As for Gu Yushi's request, Shen Jingchen just twitched the corner of his lips slightly. He lowered his eyelids and asked in return: "Do I have a choice?"
Gu Yushi did not answer his question. After all, he and Shen Jingchen both knew the answer. He turned around and left coldly.
The door was closed.
Shen Jingchen raised his head and looked at the empty private room, and suddenly a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his lips.
By the time Yan Yunhe sent someone to redeem Shen Jingchen, Shen Jingchen was no longer in the Jiaofangsi.
Yan Yunhe frowned, unable to figure out who had intercepted the message, so he could only pass the message to Feng Wenyu first.
Shen Jingchen disappeared.
When Feng Wenyu learned about this, he blurted out in astonishment: "How is it possible?"
