After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Miss Shi, what do you mean? Just say it slowly if you have anything to say." Chu Huanyan looked at her calmly.

Shi Wanxian frowned and said in a low voice: "My father was threatened by someone and wanted to set fire to your shop and warehouse."

"What?" Chu Huanyan was stunned, and her face suddenly darkened, "Miss Shi, there is no room for jokes in this matter."

"What I told is the truth. I overheard it when I went to the study to find my father today. Miss Chu, my father is not willing to do this, but he is being coerced and has no choice..."

Chu Huanyan looked at the person in front of her, "Even if this matter is true, then why did Miss Shi come to tell me? After all, doing so would be tantamount to betraying your father."

"This matter is really of great importance. I dare not hide it, and I am not sure whether my father will take action. I just hope that no matter what the outcome is, Miss Chu can take precautions. In addition, for the sake of me coming to report today, , forgive my father." Shi Wanxian lowered her head and bowed seriously to Chu Huanyan.

He looked guilty and nervous, with thick creases between his brows, and he seemed to be really worried about this incident.

After Chu Huanyan was silent for a while, she asked again: "Who are the people who are threatening your father, and when are they planning to take action?"

"That person seems to be a staff member of the Third Prince's Mansion. I don't know his name. As for the time to take action..." Shi Wanxian shook her head, "I was afraid that I would be discovered if I continued to eavesdrop, so I left quietly. I only heard my father say "Okay." We will make arrangements in the next few days, but I don’t know when exactly we will take action. I can quietly inquire about it after I return home, but I hope Miss Chu can take precautions from now on, just in case."

Chu Huanyan turned to look out of the window and said quietly: "It's a cold winter night, and the imperial city has just suffered a disaster. At this point, there are probably no people on the street. If I were Lord Shi... I would choose to do it tonight. To avoid long nights and many dreams.”

Shi Wanxian's expression tightened, "Miss Chu, let's take a quick look and make sure it doesn't really catch on fire!"

Seeing Shi Wanxian's eager look, Chu Huanyan soon left the restaurant with her and headed towards the rice shop and warehouse.

The night was getting darker and darker, and there were no other pedestrians on the street. Sitting in the carriage, Shi Wanxian clasped her hands eagerly, looking worried.

Chu Huanyan's eyes fell on her face and she spoke softly: "Since those people threaten Mr. Shi, isn't Miss Shi afraid that after you stop this, they will deal with your father?"

Shi Wanxian pursed her lips, "To be honest, I'm really scared. So when I saw Miss Chu just now, I didn't know what to do for a moment. Even when the waiter was serving the food, I was more inclined not to say anything, just Treat it as if you don’t know this.”

"Then why did you say it again?" Chu Huanyan asked.

Shi Wanxian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I really can't let it go. Although I don't have much friendship with Miss Chu, but..." Shi Wanxian raised her head and looked at Chu Huanyan, "I really want to be friends with you, and, this matter After all, the matter concerns so many people. Although I am a woman, I have studied since I was a child and know what the country is and the great righteousness of the family and the country."

Shi Wanxian's voice was not loud, but every word she spoke was very sonorous and powerful.

Chu Huanyan's eyes fell directly on the face of the person in front of her, her gaze slightly deep, but before she could say anything, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Shut up!"

The driver hurriedly stopped the carriage. Chu Huanyan and Shi Wanxian were unsteady and almost hit the carriage.

"What's going on?" Shi Wanxian asked with a frown.

Outside the carriage, Xian Yue and Shi Wanxian's maidservant's nervous calls came.

"Miss……"

Chu Huanyan opened the curtain and found two people blocking the carriage.

The leader was sitting on a horse, and most of his body was hidden in the shadows, but his face was just in the moonlight.

Xiao Rongxuan.

The other one was Mu Feng hiding in the shadows.

Chu Huanyan stepped out of the carriage, and Shi Wanxian also saw Xiao Rongxuan, and her originally nervous expression suddenly became more and more ugly.

She followed Chu Huanyan out of the carriage, and the two of them saluted Xiao Rongxuan together.

Xiao Rongxuan stood on the horse and looked at the two people condescendingly. When his eyes moved from Chu Huanyan to Shi Wanxian, he added a bit of amusement and coldness.

"I have never heard of it. The relationship between Miss Chu and Miss Shi is so good. It's already so late. I don't know why Miss Shi is in the same carriage as Miss Chu."

Shi Wanxian trembled slightly, "My lord, my lord and Miss Chu just met by chance, so we had dinner together."

"Really, is it really just a coincidence?" Xiao Rongxuan smiled leisurely, "But how did this prince hear that Miss Shi waited for a long time at the gate of Ning'an Hou Mansion today?"

Huh, Shi Wanxian really thought she could hide it from him. From the look like this, she was clearly here to tip off Chu Huanyan.

Shi Wanxian looked increasingly nervous, lowered her head, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Since the third prince has already appeared here, it is not a coincidence, so why continue to ask questions knowingly." Chu Huanyan raised her head and looked at Xiao Rongxuan sitting on the horse.

Although there are guards patrolling the imperial city at night, this has nothing to do with Xiao Rongxuan. If the other party appears at this time, it is most likely that he has already received the news, so he deliberately blocked the road here.

"Chu Huanyan, since you know this, you should know that your shop and warehouse cannot be saved tonight. As for Miss Shi..."

Xiao Rongxuan sneered, with a cruel look on his face.

"Actually, even if your father set the fire, it could have been done quietly and not known to anyone. The only blame is that you were too stupid to come to Chu Huanyan. Since you did this, the prince will not be able to save Mr. Shi Guogong. "

Shi Wanxian's face turned pale, "Third Prince, my father has never liked fighting in the court. He just wants to protect the Duke's palace, so why should you..."

Before she finished speaking, Shi Wanxian's heart went cold when she saw Xiao Rongxuan's indifferent expression, knowing that no matter what she said now, it was just a waste of words.

She turned to look at Chu Huanyan, placing her last hope on her.

"Miss Chu, can we leave now?"

Chu Huanyan glanced at Xiao Rongxuan, and just when she opened her mouth to call out the secret guard, Xiao Rongxuan waved his hand before her.

In an instant, seven or eight men in black jumped out from both sides, surrounding Chu Huanyan and Shi Wanxian.

"I know that Xiao Jinzhi secretly sent people to protect you, but now they have been restrained by my people, and these people..." Xiao Rongxuan smiled proudly and mocked, "Miss Chu still stays here, and I, the prince, will wait together to enjoy the fire that will be lit next."
