Yang Zhao curled his lips and smiled.
"good."
"Then you can stay here for the time being."
"You know about the Shen family's affairs. Once the case is found guilty, the Shen family will definitely be punished. If you don't want to be implicated, don't easily reveal your identity as a member of the Shen family. Also, I will not come here again..."
"What? You're not coming?" Shen Nian was anxious.
Dong Shuang sneered at her and said, "You know our young lady's current status. Her every move will be watched by others. If she comes here, do you think everyone will not know that you live here?"
"Even if you don't want to go back, you will be caught and taken back."
Shen Nian was stunned.
"It's for your own good that I'm not coming," said Yang Zhao.
She stood up and glanced at Dong Shuang.
Dong Shuang reluctantly took out a banknote from under her sleeve and placed it on the table: "Sixth Miss, with this money, you can hire a maid to cook for you. If you use it sparingly, it will last you for a long time."
Shen Nian subconsciously looked at the banknotes.
Upon seeing this, his face suddenly turned dark.
One hundred taels?
Sending away beggars? !
"elder sister……"
"Sixth Miss, one hundred taels is more than enough. Don't be too greedy. Buying a maid will cost at most ten taels. If you just hire a maid to cook, it will only cost half a tael a month." Dong Shuang raised her voice a bit, with undisguised contempt in her eyes.
Shen Nian’s face turned pale and his hands clenched tightly.
"I-I didn't mean that."
"I just want to say thank you, sister." Shen Nian bit her lip, looking pitiful.
Dong Shuang snorted coldly: "That's not what you meant!"
"Okay, Winter Frost."
Yang Zhao stopped Dong Shuang and looked at Chen Nian with a complicated look in his eyes. He said, "Chen Nian, you are a smart child. You learned from me for six years. Even without my help, it won't be a big problem for you to support yourself in the future."
Does this mean that you don't care about her anymore?
Shen Nian was anxious: “Sister, you don’t care about me anymore?”
Yang Zhao didn't answer.
Leave without hesitation.
"elder sister……"
Shen Nian wanted to chase after him, but was stopped by Dong Shuang.
Dong Shuang's tone was filled with contempt: "Sixth Miss, people need to have dignity and trees need to have bark. You should know clearly that your Shen family has done those disgusting things. Our young lady is kind-hearted and remembers our six-year friendship. She left you a yard and money to live on. This is already a favor. You are now a fugitive of the Shen family, and you still think you are a precious young lady or princess..."
Shen Nian’s eyes widened.
Obviously, I didn't expect Dong Shuang to say such harsh words...
She felt an unprecedented shock in her heart, as well as shame and anger at being openly despised.
Thinking back to the days when I was favored by Yang Zhao...
A lowly slave.
Why do you dare to despise and mock her like this?
"You, you are just a slave, how can you say that to me? I'm going to tell my sister..." Shen Nian's face flushed with anger, and she wanted to cross Dong Shuang.
But Dong Shuang pushed her away.
"ah!"
Chen Nian fell to the ground with a thud.
She grimaced in pain.
Dong Shuang looked at her coldly, raised his chin slightly and looked down at her: "Do you really think that calling our young lady 'sister' makes you our young lady's sister? You don't deserve it! You don't even recognize your own identity. You really think you are the princess in distress, and you still want to complain... Ha..."
Dong Shuang’s ridicule pierced Shen Nian’s heart like a sharp knife.
She clenched her hands into fists.
Looking at the heavily closed gate of the courtyard, Shen Nian sat alone on the ground, tears streaming down her face.
But his eyes were filled with resentment...
"Miss."
Winterfrost returned to the carriage.
There was no trace of the sharp and sarcastic look on that pretty face. She nodded slightly at Yang Zhao.
Yang Zhao curled his lips: "Go back."
As the carriage left, a figure walked out of the darkness.
He glanced at the small courtyard in the alley, then at the carriage that quietly left...
*
Yinfeng Mountain.
"Your Highness, there is a sheltered flat area ahead. We can set up camp there." Xu Feng rode on a tall horse and turned back to the big carriage in the middle. He respectfully reported to the handsome man in a monk's robe in the carriage.
The man in the carriage nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Xu Feng gave the order: "Liu Fang, tell everyone to hold on a little longer. Once we reach the open space on Sanao Peak, we can set up camp there."
"yes."
Xu Feng rode a horse and followed the carriage.
He couldn't help but look at the man in the car window. Although the man had not shaved his head, he had the air of a Buddhist, especially when he closed his eyes and struck the wooden fish. He looked like a reincarnated Buddha.
His whole body exudes a holy aura.
"Have you seen enough?"
At this moment, an unpleasant voice was heard.
Hearing the voice, Xu Feng immediately came to his senses and looked at the other figure in the carriage.
He is the attendant of King Yi.
"Liu Yi!"
The man in the car opened his eyes.
His eyes were pure and bright, and he had a holy aura all over his body. Coupled with his handsome face with deep contours, he was just like Guanyin, making people feel a sense of blasphemy that they dared not look directly at him.
Xu Feng subconsciously lowered his eyes. No matter how many times he looked at it, he would still be amazed...
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I have overstepped my bounds."
"No problem. If you like to listen to me chanting, you can get on the carriage." Mo Junran looked at Xu Feng and said.
Xu Feng was stunned.
Then he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am very rough and unworthy of listening to Your Highness chanting. I am sorry for my impoliteness."
Let King Yi recite scriptures for him.
Tired of living!
Xu Feng didn't dare to stay, so he found an excuse and rode his horse quickly to the front.
Liu Yi frowned: "Your Majesty, you are really too polite to him."
"I've made inquiries. This General Xu was appointed recently. I heard he was once a bandit, but was later subdued by the son of the Marquis of Zhenbei. He was also appreciated by the Marquis of Zhenbei and was able to join the Yulin Army and rise to the position of General of the Central Army."
Mo Junran glanced at Liu Yi when he heard this.
"Have you asked?"
Liu Yi didn't notice anything wrong and nodded, "Yes, Your Highness. Apart from General Xu, I heard that the deputy generals around him were also newly promoted by him. The people below him don't obey them..."
"You've got a pretty clear idea."
Liu Yi finally realized what was happening and quickly bowed his head. "I was only worried about your safety on the way back to the capital, so I sent someone to inquire about it. Your Majesty is a noble man, and your safety cannot be compromised."
Mo Junran stared at him, and after a while, he slowly curled his lips: "You are thoughtful."
Liu Yi quickly closed the window and offered a cup of freshly brewed tea in a flattering manner: "Your Highness, you have been chanting all day. Have a sip of tea to moisten your throat first. I will chant the Buddhist scriptures for you first. No one outside will notice..."
Liu Yi is Mo Junran's best substitute.
For more than twenty years, he has been doing very well as the Buddhist prince...
