"Who is that guy up there? Why is he out of town so early in the morning?"
This familiar voice made Liu Zhiyi's forehead jump.
A guard beside him whispered, "General, the sign on this carriage is the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"I'm not blind, do I need you to remind me?
From today on, I will carefully check all vehicles coming and going. If I miss any of them and let spies from Prince Chen sneak into the capital, I will skin you alive."
The guard was scolded after being pointed at in the face, and he lowered his head and dared not say another word.
Pei Yunchu continued to yell like a gangster, "Did you hear me? Everyone up there, get out here!"
Liu Zhiyi held his forehead with a headache, and looked at Shuangyue beside him in confusion, asking, "Is entry and exit to the capital so strict now?"
The two shook their heads in confusion.
At this moment, Pei Yunchu's sword handle had already lifted a corner of the curtain.
Liu Zhiyi's pupils shrank and her heart almost jumped into her throat. Oh no, she didn't wear any makeup or a veil today. If he saw her, she would be finished.
At the critical moment, he rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said,
"If you want to see me, General, you don't have to be so roundabout. Why do you have to attract my attention like this?"
“…”
Liu Zhiyi continued,
"I told you that the general looked at me differently yesterday, that he must have fallen in love with me at first sight, but you refused to believe me, Frost Moon and Frost Snow, why don't you help me down quickly?"
When Pei Yunchu heard the familiar voice, he immediately remembered who was in the car. Thinking of the infatuated look in the other person's eyes yesterday, alarm bells instantly rang in his heart.
A look as if he had eaten a fly.
"Who said I'm interested in you? Go away, this general doesn't have time to see you."
"But……"
"What's the matter? Don't block the city gate and hinder their entry and exit. If you dare to dawdle again, be careful of the military punishment of this general."
The guard beside him looked at the empty city gate and looked at Pei Yunchu in confusion.
"Oh, okay, I'll be right there, right away."
The driver drove out of the city gate carefully with a smile on his face. Only then did Liu Zhiyi breathe a sigh of relief.
A quarter of an hour later, the group arrived at the farm where the Shen family lived and drove straight in.
It was now bright outside, and there were quite a few tenant farmers working in the fields. Seeing them coming, they couldn't help but feel a little curious, but they didn't say anything.
In this way, we arrived at the courtyard where the Shen family lived without any obstruction.
After not seeing this place for three years, it turned out that this place had not changed at all. Liu Zhiyi sent someone to knock on the door. Not long after, the door was opened from the inside, but the person who opened the door was a young stranger.
Her hair was combed in a woman's style.
Seeing a gorgeous carriage suddenly appear at the gate of the courtyard, a hint of nervousness flashed in his originally timid eyes.
"Who...who are you looking for?"
Liu Zhiyi asked, "Where are Uncle and Aunt Shen?"
The woman paused, "Who... who are you, and what do you want from my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
It seems that this is the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, but I don’t know if she is Shen Dazhuang’s or Shen Erzhuang’s.
But none of this has anything to do with her. She came just to make sure they were living well and whether anyone was bullying them.
If nothing else, she would leave.
Just then, a woman's cursing was heard from the yard.
"My dear, who's at the door? Could it be another poor relative of yours?
I'm warning you, if you dare to associate with them again, I'll have my boss break your legs, write you a divorce letter, and sell you to a brothel."
Is this... Zhao Meihua's voice?
Liu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.
Is this still the same middle-aged woman who was timid and spoke in a soft voice three years ago?
The other party's cursing did not stop, and the words he said became more and more unpleasant, and the voice was getting closer and closer.
"Mom, I don't have any."
The young woman was frightened and hurried to explain.
"No one's here, so what are you doing standing at the door? Are you slacking off again?"
"Mom, I don't have any."
"Why don't you hurry up and make breakfast? Do you want to starve our family to death?"
"I'm telling you, my daughter has come all this way with great difficulty. If you starve her to death, I'll beat you to death with my own hands, you little bitch."
Liu Zhiyi frowned as he heard this.
The woman who gently pushed open the door walked in and said,
"Auntie, long time no see."
When Zhao Meihua saw Liu Zhiyi's face clearly, she was stunned.
"You...you...someone come, there's a ghost!"
Zhao Meihua was so frightened that she rolled and crawled, looking at Liu Zhiyi tremblingly. The noise instantly attracted everyone in the room out.
"What's the matter, old lady? What happened?"
"Mom, are you okay? Where's the ghost?"
Or was it that Shen Erzhuang's eyes were sharp, and he saw Liu Zhiyi not far in front of him at a glance. He wiped his eyes vigorously with his sleeves in shock, and said in disbelief,
"You...you are Xiaoyi's sister?"
"You're not dead? That's great, that's really great."
The other members of the Shen family finally realized that there was a shadow next to Liu Zhiyi, but ghosts have no shadows and dare not appear in broad daylight.
"You...are you really Miss Xiaoyi?"
Shen Dashan asked hesitantly, and then said, "Is Zhuzhu still alive?"
When Liu Zhiyi heard him ask about Shen Ningzhu first, she thought he was worried about his best friend, and her expression softened a little.
But when I thought about my best friend’s current situation, I was overwhelmed with sadness and didn’t know how to answer his question.
At that time, although they had only been with the Shen family for a short half month, the entire Shen family was very kind to her and her best friend. As biological parents, if they knew that their daughter was imprisoned and had no freedom, they would probably not be able to bear it, right?
Should she make up a white lie to deceive them? After all, Shen Dashan and Zhao Meihua are old and weak. They should not be too sad or something bad will happen to them.
No, that's not right.
Zhao Meihua just now made Liu Zhiyi feel very unfamiliar. And who is the daughter she mentioned who is living here?
As far as she knew, Shen Ningzhu was the only daughter of the Shen family.
Before she could figure it out, a loud shout came from the direction of Shen Ningzhu's room.
"Who is making such a fuss here, disturbing my young lady's rest so early in the morning? Are you worthy of this?"
As they were talking, a master and servant walked out. The woman yawned delicately and said lazily,
"Xiazhi, don't be rude, step back."
"Miss, you are always so kind. You will suffer in the future if you do this."
Liu Zhiyi's eyes gradually turned cold. The person who came was actually the elegant and graceful Chen Ningxue.
Standing next to her was her personal maid Xia Zhi.
What's going on? After three years of absence, were they robbed? No, strictly speaking, this farm was given to the Shen family by their bestie.
But the Shen family can spend these money however they want, but it must not fall into Shen Ningxue's hands.
In the past, she had been making things difficult for Chen Ningzhu, and had also helped Princess Qingyi, trying to kill their best friend time and again.
