Chapter 184 They All Love Her
Hearing the footsteps, Pei Jia immediately looked over coldly.
He saw that the kidnapper's expression was even uglier than his own. That was strange! Pei Jia snorted and laughed.
"What is your relationship with her?"
"She didn't come to see you."
"Why doesn't she come to see you?" the killer asked three times angrily.
Pei Jia raised his chin, indicating that he had blocked his mouth. How could he say it?
The killer bent down and raised his hand, almost reaching out, but then pulled it back: "You'd better shut up."
Pei Jia glared at him fiercely.
The killer sat down next to him, ignoring him and muttering to himself, "I forgot to bring back food."
"Forget it." said the killer.
What are you talking about? Pei Jia was convinced.
After being kidnapped by this man, I went hungry twice a day.
He may not be killed, but he may starve to death.
"No rush, no rush. At worst, I can just hold off for a few days and wait a little longer. Wait half a month, a month, until the person leaves. I'll eventually succeed..."
The killer consoled himself.
Half a month? A month? Pei Jia's eyes went dark when he heard this.
A secret anxiety was brewing in my heart. What could I do with such great patience?
I’m just afraid that my sister is in danger!

Wu Xun was busy until it was getting dark. After the corpse was disposed of, there was no trace of anything inside or outside. Not even the smell of blood could be smelled, but a faint scent of osmanthus remained.
Cheng Nianying closed the palm-sized box, which was a gift from the Ninth Miss of the Pei Mansion, and it was almost empty.
"What's this?"
"Fragrant powder, good for removing odor."
Wu Xun was at a loss for words. Others wiped it on their faces, but you wiped it on the ground.
The two left the courtyard and went to meet Pei Yuanwei.
Before anyone could exchange pleasantries, Cheng Nianying said, "It's been taken care of."
Pei Yuanwei said, "Qin Yurong did leave the Pei Mansion first. Although she couldn't leave the city, she didn't come back to the Pei Mansion either."
"Well, let's find it first."
Pei Yuanwei nodded. "It doesn't matter if we can't find her. Everyone knows that the Princess of the County has passed away due to illness. She can't possibly return to the Imperial Capital. However, when she came here, she mentioned that it was Prince Liang who took her away from the Imperial Capital."
"King Liang?"
"Indeed. Once the city gates are opened, she might go to King Liang, or seek refuge with her in-laws. Now that we know her destination, it won't be difficult to find her."
The two of them finished their business in a few words.
"I have to go." Cheng Nianying said.
"Go?" Pei Yuanwei was stunned.
"Someone is waiting for me."
Pei Yuanwei said with difficulty: "Is it... the prince?"
"Um."
"I also want you to sit down and have a good meal with me, your mother, and your two brothers."
Cheng Nianying shook her head: "I can't eat it. If I sit down, the master and the others will come to ask me what's wrong."
"That's right..." Then the situation will become even more chaotic.
Pei Yuanwei sent her out.
They had already walked a long way out of Pei's house when Cheng Nianying remembered that after Chu Zhen's interruption, she had forgotten to meet Yin Ping.
At that time, Yin Ping followed the officials and searched for a long time without finding the person. He returned to Pei Mansion exhausted. He was so angry that he wrote a letter on the spot and wanted to send it back to the Yin family, asking the master to find a way to find the person.
"I went to Weiyang and lost my master."
"He Qing came and got rid of Miss Jiang again."
Yin Ping wanted to cry but had no tears: "What's going on?"
Fortunately, Yin Ping did not have to worry for too long. When the servants came to deliver food in the evening, they told him that Miss Jiang had returned.
"Then why did he leave again?" Yin Ping couldn't understand.
How could the servant know? He just shook his head and said, "I guess he went to help the county government find the young master."
Yin Ping calmed down for the time being and Cheng Nianying followed Wu Xun on the way back to Yuxian Tower.
"I thought Miss Jiang would stay in Pei Mansion for a while longer."
"I just wanted to go back and report that I'm safe."
Wu Xun was flattered.
He thought he had to spend a lot of effort today to keep a close eye on Miss Jiang and prevent her from running away again.
"Wei Yang, why didn't you go with them?" Cheng Nianying turned around and asked.
Wu Xun's doubts were dispelled: "So the master has seen you in Weiyang."
No wonder he suddenly seemed to get better after he cleared his mind.
Wu Xun was very upset and hated himself for not going. He didn't even know what happened in Wei Yang.
"I couldn't go at that time." Wu Xun said vaguely.
"Can't go?"
"Ah, because I'm so awesome."
Cheng Nianying thought of what Fu Yi had said before. The emperor asked him to go to Weiyang because he hated him for not wanting to sacrifice himself and for wanting to drag the Yin family into the game. He wished he would die in Weiyang.
Does the emperor care whether the guards go or not?
Cheng Nianying wrinkled her nose and looked up to see some people gathered downstairs of Yuxian Tower.
Those people were not officials, but a group of... bald men?
It's a monk.
Cheng Nianying jumped off the carriage and walked over in two or three steps. She heard them say to the guards, "We are here to see a girl named Jiang."
The guard was alert: "Why do you want to see her?"
The leading monk said, "I was entrusted by someone to come and protect her."
"Who asked you to do this?" Cheng Nianying approached slowly. "I am Miss Jiang."
Wu Xun was also very alert and quietly grasped the hilt of the knife beside Cheng Nianying.
But the great monk just bowed and said, "The other day I set up a platform here to give a lecture..."
Cheng Nianying thought of Pei Jia's actions before leaving.
"Is it Pei Jia?"
"It's you, little brother! We came late because we went back to call for help." The little monk next to him added.
Wu Xun was surprised: "Junior Brother? This young master of the Pei Mansion was once a monk?"
The young monk nodded: "He has a connection with Buddhism and has practiced Buddhism with Master without being ordained."
Pei Jia left that day without hesitation, but it wasn't a true departure. He had a backup plan.
He left Cheng Nianying here, but he was not at ease.
He had met Fu Yi and witnessed the power of Cheng Nianying, but he was still worried.
But in the end, he lost it himself.
Cheng Nianying lowered her eyes in shock and clenched her fingertips: "Just follow me up."
The guards looked at each other, somewhat hesitant.
There are quite a lot of monks here.
Although monks are highly respected among the people, even the nobles are wary of them.
"Come up." Fu Yi's voice sounded from the top.
They looked up.
The window was half open, and Fu Yi was leaning there.
Cheng Nianying walked in front with fast steps.
The monks fell a few steps behind and looked at each other in confusion: "It seems that this Miss Jiang doesn't need our protection."
Cheng Nianying entered the door first.
The guards at the gate closed the door and the monks were temporarily left outside.
Fu Yi turned away from the window.
He watched the girl walk briskly, and he heard her say, "Chu Zhen is dead."
"Master Pei Si said he would be my father in the future."
"Pei Jia found a monk to protect me."
The words she said were not related to each other, but so closely related. Every word and sentence was saying that someone loved her.
More than one person loves her.
She would not go back to Imperial Capital with him. Fu Yi's throat tightened.
It turns out that he not only wants "Xiao He" to love him, he also wants "Xiao He" to only love him.
