Chapter 206: Choice
Chu Ci was so angry that she almost laughed. She really didn't expect that Yang Yan could make such an unreasonable request so confidently.
However, Chu Ci still tried hard to suppress the unpleasant emotions that kept surging in his heart. He patiently asked, "Governor Yang, I want to know, is this your personal opinion, or the collective opinion of the entire Yang family?"
However, if you listen carefully, you can detect a subtle hint of anger in Chu Ci's tone.
Unfortunately, Yang Yan was used to being arrogant. When he heard Chu Ci's question, he thought Chu Ci had compromised, so he said smugly: "Haha, that's naturally what I mean, and it's also what the Yang family means. Princess Yixin should think about it carefully!"
Hearing this, Chu Ci, who had been trying hard to suppress his emotions, finally couldn't control himself any longer and blurted out, "Idiot!"
At the same time, Chu Ci suddenly realized that it was impossible to communicate with someone like Yang Yan.
So, she simply waved her hand and said, "Fifteen, please ask Lord Yang to leave!"
"Understood." Fifteen agreed straightforwardly, and then took action directly, blocking Yang Yan's acupoints with extremely fast speed and precision.
Then, Fifteen picked up Yang Yan with one hand with an expressionless face, and walked out effortlessly as if he was carrying an insignificant object.
At this moment, Yang Yan's face flushed red with anger, his eyes almost spitting fire, but because his Xue Dao was sealed, even though he was filled with anger and resentment in his heart, he couldn't say anything.
After Shiwu roughly put Yang Yan into the carriage, he slowly reached out to untie his acupoints.
Then, before Yang Yan could say anything, Shiwu placed his finger on his mouth and warned him, "Shh, stop yelling and cursing! If you still don't understand, go ask your clan leader. Don't be a fool being used by others without realizing it!"
Yang Yan's face was terribly gloomy after being called a fool. Although he was extremely angry, he knew that it was not appropriate to lose his temper at this time. He had to grit his teeth, suppress his anger, and began to think about Fifteen's words.
Why on earth was he so certain and blindly confident that as long as he opened his mouth and made a request, Chu Ci would definitely move the "Women's College" to Yazhou without any objection?
He even firmly believed that even the Fan family would be unknowingly involved and tied to the Yang family's chariot.
At this moment, those scenes that he had never noticed in his daily life began to flash one by one in Yang Yan's mind.
I never thought, I really never thought, that there would be a day when Yang Yan would be treated like a fool and teased? But I must not let him find out who is behind such a sinister scheme, otherwise -
Thinking of this, Yang Yan's anger grew stronger, and the anger kept surging in his chest. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Go back to the inn——"
Fifteen had been secretly staring at Yang Yan. After he stepped into the door of Tongfu Inn, he turned around and returned quietly like a ghost.
At that time, Chu Ci had already settled the Chu couple. "You can stay here first. If you have any ideas in the future, you can tell me and I will try my best to satisfy them."
Looking at Chu Ci's cold and distant expression, Chu Xiaxiong and Li Yanran were suddenly filled with an indescribable complex emotion.
"Female...Chu Ci, we..." They opened their mouths, wanting to explain something, but when the words came to their lips they didn't know how to start. They hesitated for a long time, but in the end they still couldn't say anything.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment. There was a dead silence all around, and time seemed to have stopped flowing.
After a long time, only three words were uttered from their mouths: "I'm sorry."
These three words seemed to have exhausted all their strength, carrying with them endless guilt and self-blame.
Chu Ci paused slightly when she heard this, but she was not the original body, and she knew very well that she had no right to forgive on behalf of the original body.
After all, she could not truly empathize with the pain and hurt that the original body had experienced.
When Chu Xia Xiong saw that Chu Ci did not respond for a long time, he understood what Chu Ci meant.
His eyes dimmed, he sighed deeply, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Let's go back to Yazhou."
After he finished speaking, his body seemed to hunch over a bit, as if he had aged a lot in an instant. Li Yanran also stood silently beside him, her face full of loneliness and helplessness.
They knew that once some mistakes were made, it would be difficult to make up for them, and perhaps all they could do now was to leave here and try not to add any burden or trouble to Chu Ci.
"Okay, but don't be too hasty." Chu Ci sighed softly, and finally spoke slowly, "Now that you're out, go out for a walk and buy some necessities. This can be considered a gift for your family."
After saying these words, Chu Ci felt a little regretful, but also relieved. She knew that she had been soft-hearted after all.
"Thank you." This simple thank you seemed to have an invisible force that distanced her from the Chu family.
Chu Ci understood that after this thank you, unless something unexpected happened, she would no longer have much involvement with the Chu family. Although she had complicated emotions, she also knew that this might be the best ending.
Therefore, when Chu Ci heard this, he was just slightly stunned, his thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, and then he nodded slightly, as if he agreed to all this.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, she turned around resolutely and left with firm steps.
Chu Ci walked a long way before he heard Li Yanran's suppressed sobs behind him, filled with pain and regret: "Brother Xiong, we really lost our daughter. It's all my fault! My fault!"
Hearing the crying, Chu Ci felt that his hearing was too good.
"Fifteen." Chu Ci subconsciously called out Fifteen's name out of habit.
However, as soon as she said this, she suddenly remembered that Shiwu had gone out to see Yang Yan off. She frowned slightly, then turned to look at the maid Jiang Li beside her and said slowly, "Jiang Li, you should give the two elders two hundred taels of silver later."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li quickly agreed, then turned around and prepared to go down to arrange the matter.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sixteen, who had been hiding quietly in the dark to protect Chu Ci, suddenly jumped out like a ghost.
He looked extremely anxious, and said anxiously and a little panickedly, "Boss, this is bad!"
Then, before Chu Ci could react, Sixteen continued, "Just now, news came from Yazhou that Mr. Fan had a back injury while leading the students in an agricultural class..."
"Just then, a cow suddenly went berserk and trampled on Mr. Fan. The situation is now extremely critical, and his life is in danger!"
