Chapter 772 Marry You (3)
Pei Lang coughed twice, coughing up a few clumps of red blood, and then he smiled with difficulty, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I have no connection with the Shen family and cannot answer your question. Perhaps even Heaven has not given me this opportunity. What a pity."
Fu Xiuyi looked at him expressionlessly, and after a long while, he smiled softly. He clapped his hands, brushed off the blood that had splattered on his body, and said, "Sir, you have a strong character. I admire you very much, but I'm also very curious. I want to see how long your character can last." He waved to the people around him and said, "This little thing is not what you like. It's not enough for you to use. Change it to something better."
He stepped back and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can find out the secrets of the Shen family myself. But I also want to ask you, I heard that the Shen family values loyalty and righteousness, and you are so devoted to your master. I wonder if General Shen will send someone to rescue you from this hell?"
He left with his guards.
After Fu Xiuyi left, Pei Lang suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood. This seemingly gentle and calculating prince actually had such a cruel and violent side. However, Fu Xiuyi's gentle question to Pei Lang at the end made him smile bitterly.
It's true that the Shen family values loyalty and righteousness, but the person he's doing the work for is Shen Miao. Shen Miao's loyalty and righteousness only applies to the Shen family. Outside of her family and friends, others are probably of no importance to Shen Miao. As for whether Fu Xiuyi would come to rescue him, Pei Lang felt he probably wouldn't. Not to mention whether Shen Miao had the ability to rescue someone from Prince He Ding's mansion, let alone the most secret dungeon. When Shen Miao had him lurk around Fu Xiuyi as a hidden pawn, she must have anticipated this day. Shen Miao knew that if Fu Xiuyi discovered him, Pei Lang's fate would be horrific, but she did it anyway.
Although he knew rationally that Shen Miao would not come to save him, Pei Lang unexpectedly felt a faint hope in his heart. He couldn't explain his feelings towards Shen Miao. At first, Shen Miao threatened him with Liuying, and Pei Lang even felt a little disgusted. He hated the feeling of being threatened and out of control. But then, somehow, he actually thought of himself as Shen Miao's person. He would worry about Shen Miao and do his best to be a chess piece. Pei Lang himself couldn't understand his own behavior. He thought that maybe he owed Shen Miao something in his previous life, so he would follow her around in this life, almost changing his life. The guards responsible for torturing him came again. Pei Lang put aside his thoughts and began a new round of torture.
What he didn't know was that in Prince Rui's mansion, Huo Long and Nightingale were sitting on a tree cracking melon seeds. Nightingale asked, "Boss Ji and Master Gao haven't come out yet. How long will they have to guard the tower prison?"
Huo Long spat out a mouthful of melon seed shells and said, "I guess the master has completely forgotten about this matter. The master has been running around outside these days, so how could he have the energy to care about others? I heard that there was another letter from Daliang Palace urging him to do something. The master probably wants to finish these things and return to the palace as soon as possible."
"That's true, but Boss Ji has been staying in the tower prison. What about the news from Fengxian Pawnshop? Will it delay things?"
Huo Long rolled his eyes at Nightingale. "The Fengxian Pawnshop makes money, so naturally, the Moyu Army will report intelligence to the master. Besides, Boss Ji is only concerned with inexplicable things, not real business. You're worrying about nothing!"
When Nightingale heard this, she felt her companion was right and said, "That's right. Why bother with so much?"
Some things in the world happen by accident. Sometimes a small change will cause the entire trajectory of things to change.
In the study upstairs in the Linjiangxian Building of the Fengxian Pawnshop, a thick pile of letters lay piled in the corner of the desk, covered in dust, likely from lack of organization. At the very bottom lay a letter with three words written on its envelope.
