[Don't worry about me now that I'm gone. Thank you for your care. No need to look for me.]
Jimo Yuan slowly turned his head to look at Shen Shaoyan, his eyes as cold as ice: "Have you told Qiyue everything?"
Shen Shaoyan sneered: "I think it must be Qiyue herself who noticed it. I have been with her for as long as you have, and we have close contact every day. Now that I am standing here alive, it is not surprising that she can recognize me."
Jimo Yuan clenched his fists and walked out of Furong Courtyard without saying a word. From then on, the whole city had one more person to search for.
The next morning, Jimo Yuan discovered that Shen Shaoyan had disappeared. His subordinates said that he had left the city and went to find Sheng Qiyue alone.
Jimo Yuan pursed his lips. The matter of Dongti Mansion was not over yet. Regardless of whether Lu Yanzhou could be found or not, he would bring Admiral Lu and other criminals to Beijing for interrogation. Admiral Lu had been running Dongti Mansion for many years and had deep roots. It was inevitable that someone would intercept him along the way.
There is still a tough battle to fight and he can't leave.
Are we really going to give up on July like this? Jimo Yuan felt a deep pain in his heart. He sat in Furong Courtyard for a long time, and finally sent a team out.
………………
Sheng Qiyue didn't know where Lu Yanzhou was going to take her.
He liked to hold her and rub against her. Even if she had to go out to take care of something urgent, he would watch her from a distance and not give her any chance to escape.
Sheng Qiyue was both embarrassed and angry.
At night, the moon is high in the sky.
Hearing the steady breathing sound coming from her ears, Sheng Qiyue opened her eyes, stood up quietly, and reached out her trembling little hand to the long sword that Lu Yanzhou placed at his side.
The sword was heavier than she had imagined, so she put it down in frustration. With a glance, she saw a dagger on the shelf next to her.
Her eyes lit up and she looked back at Lu Yanzhou cautiously. Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, she felt relieved.
She bit her lip, took the dagger out carefully, pulled it out, and stabbed it decisively towards Lu Yanzhou's chest.
Just as he was about to stab the target, Sheng Qiyue felt a numbness in his palm, and the dagger was shaken away, falling onto the wooden board with a dull sound.
Sheng Qiyue's mind went blank and her whole body was trembling. She didn't dare to look at Lu Yanzhou's expression. There was no need to think about it. He must have wanted to kill her now.
But Lu Yanzhou just looked at her deeply, his face calm. After a long time, he stretched out his long arm, pulled her over, and let her lie beside him.
"sleep."
Sheng Qiyue's heart was beating very fast and she dared not move. After an hour, she could not bear it anymore and fell into a deep sleep.
Lu Yanzhou propped up his head and looked at her.
Her eyelashes were very long, perhaps because she was extremely tired. Her rosy lips were slightly open, and her long hair, like ink, was scattered behind her. Her neck was slender and white, and her beautiful figure could not be concealed.
He looked at her for a long time, then lay down again, put his hands on her waist, breathed in the rich fragrance, bathed in the moonlight outside the window, and Lu Yanzhou stayed awake all night.
The next day, Sheng Qiyue woke up in a daze and Lu Yanzhou handed her a pancake.
"There's water in the stream, wash yourself."
Sheng Qiyue took it carefully and looked up at him.
The morning light shone on his face, and his facial features were a mixture of light and shadow, delicate and vivid, as if every detail had been carefully carved.
Perhaps it was because of the soft light, she actually felt that he was somewhat gentle.
It's crazy.
Without a word, she lowered her head, left the carriage and walked towards the stream.
The pancake was a bit hard, and she bit it with her teeth and claws, her facial features flying.
Lu Yanzhou still looked at her from a distance, with a faint smile in his eyes.
After barely filling her stomach, Sheng Qiyue washed her hands and said to Lu Yanzhou, "Go away. I need to take care of a personal matter."
Seeing her face flushed red, Lu Yanzhou raised his eyebrows, but still walked a little further away and turned his back.
Sheng Qiyue walked quickly to the back, intending to hide herself. As long as Lu Yanzhou couldn't find her, he would definitely leave on his own after a long time.
She looked around nervously, her eyes settling on a seemingly calm but somewhat eerie river ahead.
This river had obviously not been dredged for many years. Some water plants and duckweed were floating on the water. A leaf fell into the river and then swirled away.
Dense vegetation grows on both sides of the river, intertwined with each other to form a green barrier, making it difficult to see what is happening at the bottom of the river.
She didn't know how deep the river was or whether it hid any danger, but in order to escape Lu Yanzhou, she gritted her teeth and walked in.
The river got deeper and deeper as she went. She tried hard to avoid being entangled in the water plants and balance her body. By the time she found a suitable hiding place, the water had reached her chest.
Afraid of being washed away by the river, she clung to the branch tightly and dared not move.
Lu Yanzhou noticed Sheng Qiyue when she was leaving, but he did not stop her. He just followed her to see what she was trying to do.
He watched her walk into the river with a cold expression on his face.
Was she so desperate to leave him that she would take the risk even while pregnant?
Sheng Qiyue waited for a long time, but Lu Yanzhou didn't come to see her. She thought he had left, so she breathed a sigh of relief. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her already beautiful face became even more dazzling.
Lu Yanzhou's eyes were dark and his expression became even more serious.
When Sheng Qiyue hid, she went downstream. Now, if she wanted to reach the shore, she had to go upstream against the current. She carefully grabbed the branches by the river and moved her feet with difficulty.
But it was obviously not that easy. The riverbed was slippery, and coupled with the resistance of the water flow, halfway through the walk, she clearly felt exhausted and struggled to grab the branches of the bushes that stretched out next to her.
She originally wanted to rest for a while, but with a "crack", the branch of the bush broke, and she fell into the water unexpectedly, floundering in panic.
She tried to stand up, but how could it be so easy to stand up in chest-deep water? Desperately, she found herself drifting further and further towards the center of the river. After choking on the water several times, her vision began to blur and she slowly sank.
When her consciousness began to blur, something grabbed her and flew into the air. She subconsciously held on tightly, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.
Lu Yanzhou flew her to the shore. Sheng Qiyue spat out two mouthfuls of water in an unruly manner. After discovering that the person who saved her was Lu Yanzhou, she no longer felt any relief.
Longevity Lu Yanzhou stood tall, with a wet spot on his chest, and looked at Sheng Qiyue in a sly manner.
"I saved you again, shouldn't I be yours?"
Sheng Qiyue hunched over, her black hair dripping with water, and said weakly, "Don't even think about it."
Lu Yanzhou's smile faded, replaced by a surge of chill. His voice was extremely cold: "Clean it up yourself and don't dirty my carriage."
Sheng Qiyue turned her face away: "Go alone, I don't want to go with you."
"Is that really the case?"
Sheng Qiyue was a little scared, but she still mustered up the courage to say, "I, I want to go alone."
Lu Yanzhou's mouth curled up cruelly, and he dodged and picked her up sideways. Ignoring her screams, he threw her into the carriage and quickly stripped off her dirty clothes.
The subordinate driving the coach blushed as if blood was dripping from his face, and he walked away silently.
