Chapter 126: The whole show
Taozi looked at Sijiu with doubt.
Sijiu raised three fingers and swore, "Sister Taozi, if I dare to lie to you, my brother will tear me apart when he comes back!"
Taozi was still a little worried.
The lights in the house were quickly turned off, and Sijiu pulled Taozi away.
In the dim light, Gu Huailing took Shen Yuan's hand and sat down beside the bed.
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing and raised her hand to take off his shirt.
"What is your ladyship going to do?"
His voice was a little hoarse, and Shen Yuan slapped him on the back, "What are you thinking about? I hit you in the daytime today, and I specially gave it to Chen Lao to ask for the stasis-removing ointment."
The ointment was icy cold, and the woman's slightly cool fingertips touched his warm back, causing a tingling sensation.
After applying the ointment to Gu Huailing, Chen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "My dear, I think this is too slow. Yesterday, I thought about it carefully and felt that Zhao'er's disappearance must be related to Yan Xi. I have to get close to Yan Xi as soon as possible to find my brother."
Gu Huailing looked at her, "What does Madam want to do?"
The room was dark, but Yuan could clearly see the color of the man's pupils.
Chen Yuan coughed lightly, "Let's play it out again. You find a woman and I embarrass her, and you use this as an excuse to divorce me..."
Shen Yuan's voice became smaller and smaller, and he became less and less confident as he spoke.
Gu Huailing looked at the person in front of him and suddenly laughed out of anger.
He leaned back slightly on the bed and stared into the woman's eyes.
"Madam, even the servants around my husband are all men. Can you tell me where to find them?"
There was a hint of anger in his tone.
He slowly placed his hand on the woman's waist and said, "Madam, what are you thinking about? If I start this today, there will be an endless stream of women being sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future. I don't want you to deal with these troubles every day."
Perhaps it was because Gu Huailing's palm was too hot, Chen Yuan's heart began to pound.
"Tomorrow you and I will have another fight, and I will pretend to write a letter of divorce."
"Madam is still too naive. Sometimes when you act too much, you arouse suspicion. This is just right."
The two were very close, and Gu Huailing's breath was getting hotter and hotter.
"It's getting late, Madam, it's time to get settled."
Gu Huailing let down the bed curtain.
Chen Yuan sighed and raised his hand to take off his coat, but his hand accidentally touched an exquisite brocade box beside the bed.
The brocade box fell on the bedding, and the things inside fell out, becoming particularly obvious.
Chen Yuan was stunned and wanted to take the thing, but Gu Huailing took it first, "Madam, do you remember a few nights ago?"
Shen Yuan's face flushed red, how could she not remember.
"Stop talking."
Gu Huailing looked at her, "After everything is over, can Madam..."
His tone was serious, and Shen Yuan quickly tried to cover his mouth, fearing that he would say something outrageous while putting on a dignified and self-possessed face!
The next morning, Shen Yuan started making a fuss again, and Gu Huailing's neck was scratched by Shen Yuan, leaving several bloody marks.
Chen Yuan originally wanted to scratch his face, but looking at his noble and outstanding face, she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
Gu Huailing took out a divorce letter and threw it to Chen Yuan, looking at her coldly and said, "As you wish."
When Gu Huailing thought about not being able to see Chen Yuan for a few days, his face turned terribly bad.
Chen Yuan held the divorce letter in her hand and said coldly, "From now on, we are completely separated."
Chen Yuan sat in the courtyard of Qingshi Lane, his mind racing.
We have to add fuel to the fire before Mr. Chen will go find Yan Xi.
"Master, the Prime Minister has gone too far. He actually wrote a letter of divorce."
Taozi has been sighing since she returned to Qingshi Lane.
On the other hand, Mr. Chen looked very relaxed.
Chen Yuan deliberately rubbed his temples. "Now I have nothing to miss in the capital. I want to wait here for a few days to see if my brother will come back. If not, we will go look for him. We can always find him no matter where we are."
Taozi looked at Chen Yuan with a distressed expression.
The sorrow that Shen Yuan showed these days was nothing more than a dead heart.
Mr. Chen saw it all.
He waited in Qingshi Lane for three days, and finally on the fourth day he made an excuse to go collect herbs.
That night, Chen Yuan asked Taozi to harness the carriage and prepare to leave the capital.
Gu Huailing learned the news first.
As soon as the carriage left the capital, it was stopped.
Yan Xi was wearing a dark red cloak and got into the carriage to Shen Yuan's shock.
Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xi with a look of vigilance in her eyes, "Why are you here?"
Yan Xi took off his mask, and his charming peach blossom eyes looked at Chen Yuan with deep affection.
"Xiao Yuan'er, I knew you would come back to me."
Chen Yuan suppressed the chill in her heart and stared at Yan Xi coldly, "Does Chen Zhao's disappearance have anything to do with you?"
Yan Xi did not respond to Shen Yuan's words, but laughed out loud, "As expected of little Yuan'er, she recovered so quickly after being intoxicated."
"It's not too late to know that Gu Huailing is unreliable. Come with me, little Yuan'er. I will give you everything you want."
He stretched out his hand towards Chen Yuan. His hand was as delicate as his face and had a light jade color. However, Chen Yuan felt a chill when he looked at his hand.
It feels like being wrapped around by an icy snake that can deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Shen Yuan looked at him coldly, "Where is your brother?"
Yan Xi smiled, "Xiao Yuan'er, don't be angry. As long as you come with me, your brother, your father, and your mother will be safe."
"Haven't you always wanted to reunite with them? I can give you everything that Gu Huailing can't give you."
Chen Yuan frowned and stared at him, "Is Mr. Chen your man? Who else around me is your man?"
Yan Xi shook his head, his tone very relaxed, "Xiao Yuan'er, Mr. Chen is yours. The purpose of his existence is to protect you."
There was always a fog in his words, and Shen Yuan felt like she had fallen into the fog at this moment. Everything in front of her made her unable to see or touch it clearly.
"Where are you taking me? Who are you?"
He extended his hand to Shen Yuan again, "Xiao Yuan'er, as long as you promise to go with me, I will tell you everything."
"You can't leave."
The carriage suddenly stopped and a deep and cold voice sounded from outside.
At the same time, a dagger was pressed against Yan Xi's heart.
A complex expression flashed across Yan Xi's enchanting peach blossom eyes, "Xiao Yuan'er, was all this your plan?"
Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and Yan Xi suddenly laughed softly.
The admiration in his eyes made Shen Yuan confused.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
A bony hand reached out, and at the same time a reassuring voice came.
"Madam, come here."
Shen Yuan grabbed Gu Huailing's hand without hesitation.
Just as she was about to get off the carriage, Yan Xi grabbed her other hand from behind.
"Xiao Yuan'er, do you really want me to die?"
Chen Yuan looked at him coldly, "Hand over my brother and I will leave you with an intact body. You are the mastermind behind everything that has happened, including the assassination at the hunting ground. Who are you?"
Yan Xi smiled with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of charm, "Xiao Yuan'er, you don't want to know."
There was something in his tone that was strangely familiar to Shen Yuan.
