Chapter 77: Is Tu Shanyi so rich?
Farces that the people love to watch are still being staged on the streets.
No one has ever seen a wanted criminal as stupid as Ai Chiji. He came to the auction disguised as a woman and was caught in public on the spot. He simply walked into a trap.
The laughter around was getting louder and louder, and even the orcs in the nearby shops stuck their heads out to watch the fun.
Sheng Ran couldn't help but grin. The moment she raised her eyes, she found a red fox orc sitting by the window on the second floor of Wangchun Teahouse opposite.
She just glanced over there casually, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.
The red color was so attractive, like silk dyed with the finest sumac, shining with watery light when hanging on the shoulders. It did not look like the hair dried by wind and sun in the wild tribes, but rather like a flame dipped in honey.
He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe with silver embroidery at the collar. Perhaps he truly regarded everything that was happening below as a spectacle for him to watch, as he was slowly stirring the teacup with a silver spoon.
The jade-colored lining is revealed at the folded cuffs, and it makes people dizzy as they raise their wrists.
Even more eye-catching is the gold bracelet on his wrist.
The wide, solid gold bracelet, rubbed to a shine, tapped lightly on the table as he stirred the tea.
With admiration for money, Sheng Ran unconsciously looked at the man's face.
He has a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a cinnabar mole on his eye, like a drop of blood that has not been wiped away.
Suddenly, a sharp electric current sounded in her mind. Sheng Ran had a headache and couldn't help complaining about the system, "What's wrong with you? Is the CPU burnt out?"
[——No!] From the chaotic mechanical sounds, one could tell how broken the system was at that moment.
After stuttering and hesitating for a long time, it continued, "Why does that red fox across the street look so much like Tu Shanyi?"
He's been missing for so long, couldn't he have lost his way or gotten into trouble? Why is he still so leisurely fanning himself and drinking tea in a teahouse?!
Most of the memories Sheng Ran inherited were very vague, and she could hardly see the scenes clearly, so she naturally couldn't recognize Tu Shanyi's face.
The incident happened so suddenly that Sheng Ran's first reaction was disbelief.
Just as he was about to question whether the system might have made a mistake, the red fox's reaction was equally suspicious.
He had obviously noticed Sheng Ran's gaze, and his eyes were slightly stunned, and the leisurely and contented look just now disappeared.
After a moment of panic, he quickly looked away, as if he was deliberately avoiding something.
Is this person really Tu Shanyi?
How could the person they couldn't find when they went to the clinic last time suddenly appear here?
In her imagination, Tu Shanyi could not afford the expensive medical bills, so he escaped from there.
Maybe his injury hasn't healed yet, maybe the money he has is not enough to support him to reach Zhangwei smoothly, or maybe something else unexpected happened. In short, he hasn't been home for so many days, and Sheng Ran is still a little worried.
I even wondered if he was struggling to make a living in a small shop with his sick body.
Now it seems unnecessary.
The wine bowl in Sheng Ran's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the strong liquor splashed on the bluestone. The aroma spread, but it could not suppress her complicated emotions at the moment.
【Is Tu Shanyi so rich? 】
The system mobilized all the data, almost making it burn with anxiety. [The Nine-Tailed Fox clan is indeed wealthy. This Tu Shanyi was raised as a nobleman with a silver spoon in his mouth—but that was only in the past.]
[Ever since he married the host, his family's attitude towards him has deteriorated significantly. Later, he was exiled for his crimes, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan publicly announced that they had severed ties with Tu Shanyi.]
Without the support of his family and his wife to give him pocket money, he was extremely poor. There was no reason for him to be wearing such a luxurious outfit now!
Sheng Ran once again looked at his outfit. [Just this outfit alone makes him look richer than me!]
No matter what, Tu Shanyi is still her target. Now that she has found him, Sheng Ran cannot let him go.
Not having time to care about the wine that was accidentally broken on the ground, Sheng Ran anxiously pushed through the crowd and wanted to go to the Wangchun Teahouse across the street to block him.
Sheng Ran tried to squeeze out, but the people around her were still focused on Ai Chiji's arrest.
The crowds of onlookers and the guards who had just arrived made the place packed with people, making it impossible to get through.
Sheng Ran could only try to speak, making the only sound she could at the moment, "...Don't, don't cry."
Ling Rui's ears twitched, wondering why his wife was saying "don't cry" again. He turned around and found that something was wrong.
"Wife?" Ling Rui kicked away the debris on the ground, fearing that they would hurt Sheng Ran. Then he suddenly grabbed her arm, his eyes tightened with concern. "What's wrong?"
Sheng Ran raised her chin and pointed to the Wangchun Teahouse across the street.
Ling Rui looked over and only caught a glimpse of a flamboyant red-haired figure from behind.
His eyes seemed to be drawn to the red spot by a magnet. Ling Rui gritted his teeth and said, "How could this Zhu Jiuyin still be around? He even had the nerve to follow him all the way to Beining!"
"Last time, Pei Xiaoxing and Raven spared his life, but I won't be so kind. My wife, please don't stop me. I'm going to teach him a lesson right now!"
Before Sheng Ran could stop him, Ling Rui transformed into a beast and jumped out of the crowd.
What the hell, why is Zhu Jiuyin involved again?
——What’s going on in Ling Rui’s mind!
He wouldn't just rush up and start a fight without asking any questions, would he?
Thinking of this, Sheng Ran became even more anxious, but this time another figure blocked her way.
Ai Chiji was dragged to the prison van by two guards holding his arms. He was about to eat prison food, but he still clung to Sheng Ran.
Her tall and thin body made a rustling sound as it rubbed against the cobblestones, and the hem of her skirt was torn, revealing the greasy white cotton pants underneath.
He strained his strength to lean forward, his hair loose, a few wisps of sweat-soaked hair sticking to his shiny forehead. His triangular eyes widened, and spit flew as he cursed, "Let me go! You're crazy! Without Zuixianlou, all of Beining will be unhappy!"
"Even if there's aphrodisiac flowers in the Drunken Immortal Brew? So what?! It's addictive. Those of you who've tried it will only suffer from heartache and agony every day and night! It won't be long before you'll be begging me to get out!"
"Still begging you to come out?" The guard beside him sneered, his grip tightening a bit. "Boss Ai, you've probably forgotten that Miss Sheng's wine is not only delicious, but it can also cure the poison of your aphrodisiac flower. Who will still remember that there used to be a Zuixianlou in Beining City?"
These words were like a needle puncturing a balloon. Ai Chiji paused in his curses, then became even more frantic: "Impossible! My wine is immortal wine! You country bumpkins don't know shit!"
He turned his face away as he spoke, "And you, dumb bitch! Don't think you can be so proud just because you beat me!"
Ai Chiji stood directly in front of Sheng Ran, blocking her way.
He stared at her intently, his eyes red as if they were about to bleed blood, as if he was waiting for a response.
Sheng Ran is extremely annoyed——
He also said that she was a mute, what could she say!
Sheng Ran was in a hurry to find Tu Shanyi and Ling Rui. She no longer had the patience to continue dealing with this dying weasel, and finally squeezed out a few words from her throat.
“…Don’t cry!”
Ai Chiji was stunned on the spot. This mute female could actually speak?
He said so many things, why did she only reply with two words, and told him not to cry?
A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated!
Who does this annoying female look down on? He is not a weak coward!
Why are you crying!
