Tang Chen stood up suddenly, without even considering Wang Yanzhou's suggestion. He picked up the scissors and went out. "Even if you want to talk now, I don't want to hear it. This is my home, and I'm not going anywhere."
Wang Yanzhou followed and said with a hint of pleading in his voice, "Achen, will you be obedient?"
Tang Chen didn't even look at him, but just took the scissors and started trimming the branches. No matter what Wang Yanzhou said, she just said, "I'm not listening. I'm busy."
Seeing her resolute attitude, Wang Yanzhou temporarily gave up on trying to persuade her verbally. If he found anything wrong, he would be ready to pack her up and send her to Qingliang Valley, whether she wanted to or not.
Although Tang Chen did not agree to Wang Yanzhou's proposal, he still had some doubts in his heart. He had been very well behaved these past few days, taking care of his flowers and plants at home. He didn't go to Chunzaitang or leave the house, and locked himself in that little world all day long, as if he had a lot on his mind.
After a few days of this, one morning, Tang Chen finally got out of bed, still in her pajamas, and sat in front of the bronze mirror with a blank look in her eyes, contemplating her life. Just as she was about to pick up a comb to comb her messy hair, her reflection suddenly appeared in the mirror, startling her. "Hey, why are you here so early today? I haven't changed yet, so go out and hang out first."
Wang Yanzhou didn't say anything, nor did he leave. He just stood there motionless. Tang Chen saw that this man was a little strange today. While combing his hair, he turned around and asked, "You look so bitter and resentful, but I didn't provoke you today."
Wang Yanzhou seemed to have made up his mind before he walked over from the door and handed the small note in his hand to Tang Chen.
"What's this?" Tang Chen took the note and casually placed it in front of the bronze mirror, still concentrating on combing his hair. "The whereabouts of Yan Shaoqing."
When Tang Chen heard this, his subordinates were stunned: "Holy crap, if you focus on your work, you're very efficient!"
After the things were delivered, Wang Yanzhou closed the door and left. When Tang Chen changed his clothes and came out with his things, cursing, Wang Yanzhou had already asked someone to prepare breakfast.
As soon as Tang Chen left the house, she crumpled up the note Wang Yanzhou had given her and threw it to the ground: "Bah, fake! Take out the real one, don't try to fool me, my eyes are made of fire and gold after being refined in an alchemy furnace."
It's no wonder Tang Chen was so angry. The contents of the note were truly unexpected and difficult to accept. Yan Shaoqing was taken away by Huayue Tower, and the major case at the General's Mansion was also masterminded by Huayue Tower. No matter how you look at it, this doesn't make sense. Did Chen Xin make a mistake, or was Wang Yanzhou deliberately trying to make fun of her?
Wang Yanzhou knew Tang Chen's confusion and doubts, but it was really difficult to explain this matter to her at the moment. Moreover, if she knew, it would be harmful to her. Therefore, he did not say much, but just frowned and said with some embarrassment:
"I also know a little about the past grudges between Yue Sheng and Yan Shaoqing's families, but..."
Tang Chen looked at the paper ball on the ground, sighed deeply, and then bent down to pick it up. "What about Yue Sheng? If what's said here is true, then she should still be near Qinghe County, right?"
Wang Yanzhou knew she would ask this question, so he didn't say he wouldn't take her to look for the person. He just reminded her, "If you want to save someone, forget it. Yue Sheng won't do anything to Yan Shaoqing, so don't worry."
"After all, Yue Sheng won't treat him unfairly, that's all."
Tang Chen held the crumpled note and sat down on the chair somewhat powerlessly. "What are you all doing, openly or covertly? I know you all have your reasons, but am I really just a bystander?"
Although her words were tinged with obvious personal emotion, Wang Yanzhou said there was nothing wrong with being a bystander. At least, her life, everything she owned, would not be threatened or interfered with. She could still eat and drink as usual, do what she wanted, without too much worry or anxiety.
Tang Chen had nothing to eat. She leaned against the large fish tank in the yard, holding the flute Yue Sheng had given her. She sat motionless for a long time before brushing off the dust on her body and slowly standing up. "I've thought it through. No matter what, I still want to see her. I never write blank checks to others. I will definitely do what I promised Yan Shaoqing."
"I'll accompany you?"
Tang Chen thrust the flute in his hand into Wang Yanzhou's arms. What was the question? It seemed like he didn't want to go yet: "Of course I have to. I don't know the way!"
"good."
…Yue Sheng seemed to have known Tang Chen would come and when. Led by Wang Yanzhou, she found a long-abandoned courtyard outside the city. When she entered and saw him, her favorite snacks were already laid out on the table.
When Wang Yanzhou saw someone bringing him in, he didn't go into the house. He just stood outside from a distance, fanning himself and looking at the flowers and plants in the yard that were planted by someone and were now surrounded by weeds.
Yue Sheng gestured for Hua Ping to leave, then poured tea and calmly asked, "Did Valley Master Wang tell you everything?"
Tang Chen smiled and shook his head: "Even if he didn't say it, I know it was you who took Young Master Yan away. In fact, I was there that day. When I woke up, I thought I was dreaming, but I didn't expect that the nightmare would come true."
After a moment of hesitation, Yue Sheng looked around aimlessly: "...Do you also think I'm scary?"
"In this life, there are so many things that we have to deal with. Wang Yanzhou didn't say much to me, and I can't guess anymore. Besides, I didn't come to see my sister for this matter." After saying this, Tang Chen took out the small mirror box he had been carefully hiding in his arms and placed it on the table. "This is for you."
At Tang Chen's urging, Yue Sheng opened the brocade box. Seeing the black pearl inside, the size of a pigeon egg, which seemed to purify the heavens and earth, he suddenly stood up from his stool and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Tang Chen didn't know what this black pearl meant to Yue Sheng, as no one had ever told her its origins. She only knew it was a promise she'd made to her friend: "Yan Shaoqing gave it to me before the incident at the General's Mansion. I was 'invited' to visit him at that time. When he let me go, he gave me this and told me to personally deliver it to you. He also asked me to bring you a message."
