Chapter 177 There is another way
Cheng Nianying followed him upstairs, and the first thing he did was to walk to the front and open the window.
The location here is excellent. At a glance, you can clearly see the heads reflecting on the altar in the distance.
Moving your eyes downwards, you can clearly see guards in green round-necked robes moving among the crowd.
But there was no one acting suspiciously.
This is also why Fu Yi guessed that someone like her came to see her.
——After all, the killer seems very familiar with this kind of work.
"Zizhu once said that the people in the building were tracking down your whereabouts." Fu Yi walked behind her. "I asked her if she knew who the people in the building would send to track you down... She didn't know."
Cheng Nianying hesitated for a moment before saying, "She has never been to the Imperial Capital before and was only assigned by the local authorities. She really doesn't know much."
"You know?"
“…”
"Why don't you tell me? Are you hiding this from me?"
"The prince knows too much, but it's not a good thing."
"Are you worried that they'll find trouble with me too?" Fu Yi sneered. "Are you so soft-hearted? Shouldn't you use me ruthlessly to help you resolve your worries?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand to pinch Cheng Nianying's face: "Or do you have another choice?"
He almost mentioned the Yin family's name directly.
Cheng Nianying dodged him immediately. "There's a difference between a missing person and someone who reveals all the secrets of the building to others."
Fu Yi frowned and asked, "What if it's the latter?"
"That will lead to an overwhelming and pervasive pursuit."
Fu Yi looked thoughtful but didn't say anything else.
At this time, Cheng Nianying saw Pei Jia had started to walk back. She turned around and was stopped by Fu Yi: "Where are you going?"
"The Pei family is waiting for me downstairs."
"Why did he pinch your hand just now?"
"It's the other way around. I was the one who pinched his hand."
Fu Yi's eyebrows twitched. Still so self-righteous?
"If I don't pinch him and let him know how strong I am, how can he leave me alone there?"
"..." Fu Yi pinched the bridge of his nose, "Next time, why don't you just tell others directly?"
Cheng Nianying curled her lips quietly. "I used to tell the truth, but no one believed me. What could I do? It was the same in Weiyang. I had to kick someone away before they would be afraid."
“…”
Fu Yi looked at her appearance. She had fair skin, fragrant cheeks, watery almond eyes, and a thin wrist. She looked like a newly blossomed jade flower. She looked even more pure when her face was not cold.
Fu Yi's Adam's apple rolled and he was speechless.
But he still didn't let go of Cheng Nianying's hand: "Since someone is secretly watching you, how can you return to the Pei Mansion?"
Cheng Nianying paused and agreed with this.
"Then I'll go down and talk to him."
"Um."
"How is it? Have you found the person who was staring at you?" Cheng Nianying heard him ask as soon as he came in front of Pei Jia.
"No."
"Could it be that you were wrong before?"
"That's right."
"Okay, then I'll take you back to the mansion first, and then I'll find some people to search again."
Cheng Nianying said, "You go back first. I want to stay here, um, with that person from yesterday..."
"What? How can that be possible?"
"Big brother."
Pei Jia paused.
"Brother, it's dangerous. I can't go back to Pei Mansion."
"The Pei Mansion can't protect you?"
"Well, I can't protect it."
Pei Jia choked and asked in a complicated tone: "Are you afraid of bringing danger to your family?"
"Um."
"Then wait for me..."
He didn't say what he was waiting for, but only looked up at a point not far behind Cheng Nianying, where a winding wooden staircase was visible. A man's robe, delicately embroidered with silver thread and shimmering with light, was faintly visible on the steps. It was obvious at a glance that it was extremely expensive.
Pei Jia placed all the snacks he had bought along the way, as well as some rare and not-so-rare items, at Cheng Nianying's feet before turning around and leaving.
But after walking away, he did not run back to the way he came, but walked towards the altar, whispered a few words with the monk who was preaching the sutra before leaving.
"Do you like these?" Fu Yi walked over and looked down at the things at Cheng Nianying's feet.
Cheng Nianying nodded, then shook her head: "I've never tried it before, so I don't know if I like it. But if I try it, I'll probably like it."
Fu Yi's throat tightened, and for a moment he felt a bit suffocated, as if he was being compared to her. ... He knew she loved gold and silver, but he had never thought that these little things could also please her.
Take it away and throw it away.
Take it away.
Two thoughts swirled through his mind, and he finally said, "Take them all."
The guards quickly bent down to pick it up.
When they arrived at the place where they were staying, there was no one else there. Cheng Nianying looked around and felt that it was too quiet. It was obvious that Fu Yi had taken care of it all by himself.
Fu Yi led her all the way in: "Does she look familiar?"
Cheng Nianying looked at the table intently: "My bag?"
"Um."
She walked over quickly, opened it, and found something missing: "And mine..."
Fu Yi immediately spread out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of her.
Cheng Nianying looked down and saw that it was written by the eldest son of the Cen family himself, but he could not find the "confession" at the beginning.
"It's not that I don't want to find it for you. You know, I have been looking for the whereabouts of this thing for you since I arrived in Weiyang. Unfortunately, I have looked up and down, but there is no one who can help me." Fu Yi said slowly.
Cheng Nianying wrinkled her nose, and indeed could not think of any reason why Fu Yi could deceive her.
"The group in the north of the city all survived." Fu Yi changed the subject at the right time.
Cheng Nianying thought of the people she had seen in prison: "What about those who were wronged?"
"Um?"
"Yin Heng said there are no old cases in the county because there are so many injustices. Even among locals, there are different social classes. Those who are incompetent are forced to be falsely accused and take the blame."
"He should have reported this to the Emperor, and the Emperor will send someone to deal with it." Fu Yi paused. "No wonder Weiyang emphasizes the distinction between locals and outsiders. This way, even if the locals suffer, there are still outsiders to exploit. Weiyang will naturally remain peaceful, ensuring that his Cen family can rest assured."
After asking about Wei Yang's situation, Cheng Nianying lowered her head to think for a while, then suddenly stood up and kissed Fu Yi.
Perhaps she was thinking about what he said that day and it didn't count as a kiss.
The girl then imitated his behavior that day, chewing and biting it vigorously without any rules, no longer just lightly, but making a mess.
The kiss made Fu Yi even angrier, and even his breathing became heavier.
He held Cheng Nianying down without thinking.
Cheng Nianying twisted her waist and slipped away.
Fu Yi: “…”
"What do you mean?" Fu Yi turned his head, his eyes dark.
Cheng Nianying said: "A kiss is just right, and a sleep is more."
Fu Yi immediately understood what she meant.
The implication is that when making an exchange, one must also consider the issue of equivalence.
Is it intentional?
Don't be angry.
He taught me.
Don't be angry.
Fu Yi's frown deepened. He suddenly took two steps back, washed his hands in a basin beside him, and then sat down in a large chair. He said, "Well, then you stand there and don't move. I won't move you either."
Cheng Nianying had no doubts: "Yeah."
Fu Yi undressed himself, appearing quite calm.
He smiled: "Look at me."
Cheng Nianying's eyelids twitched and her breathing stopped.
