Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Shen Zhaoyan smiled in an unfathomable way, "I want to ask first, what is the relationship between Miss Yan and A Yin?"

Yan Ci's face was calm, and he replied in a tepid voice: "It doesn't matter."

"Oh? Really? But I don't think you two are related. You always go to Songyaji to meet. Is this what people who are not related would do?"

Yan Ci's heart sank. Shen Zhaoyan had been eyeing them for a long time.

Yanci suddenly smiled, "Hearing what the prince said, we are indeed related."

"what relationship?"

"I'm pursuing him, but I haven't caught up with him yet."

Yan Ci Baijing's little face was reflected in Shen Zhaoyan's surprised eyes, and her expression was calm as if she was talking about something unimportant.

"Are you pursuing A Yin?"

"Exactly."

"Hahaha, interesting."

Yan Ci looked at Shen Zhaoyan who was laughing so hard at her answer, and he didn't know whether she believed what she said or was laughing at her lies.

When Shen Zhaoyan's laughter died down, Yan Ci said, "Your Majesty, I also have a question for you."

"what is the problem?"

"You didn't arrest me just for gossip, did you?"

"No, no, no, gossip is only a very small factor. This king wants to know what you and A Yin talked about when you went to see Hua Ci Shu late at night."

Yan Ci's face froze slightly. Just as he was about to deny that he had met Hua Ci Shu, he heard Shen Zhaoyan say, "Don't tell me that you are also pursuing Hua Ci Shu. I have heard of two women serving one husband, but I have never heard of one woman marrying two husbands."

"Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Maybe you are just ignorant."

Yan Ci's face looked calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

Shen Zhaoyan not only knew that she and Xie Chengyin met at Songyaji, but also knew that they broke into the Dali Temple at night. They really underestimated him.

But if he had known it for a long time, why did he wait until now to arrest her? Was he trying to play the long game and catch a bigger fish?

Now the net is being drawn in, preparing to catch her, Xie Chengyin and Hua Cishu in one fell swoop. Who will be the big fish to be caught?

Seeing that Yan Ci had not spoken for a long time, Shen Zhaoyan stood up from his chair and took two steps towards Yan Ci, looking down at Yan Ci who was sitting on the ground.

"This is the first time someone dares to speak to me like this, Miss Yan, you are indeed extraordinary."

Shen Zhaoyan paused for a moment and continued, "Speaking of which, you are really free as the Thirteenth Young Lady of the Yan Family. Not only can you participate in the government, but you are also not bound by the rules and regulations of women in the inner house. Even the princess can't enjoy this. Yan Ci, you really impress me."

Yan Ci chuckled, "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Yan Ci's smile seemed to hurt Shen Zhaoyan. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He held the folding fan in his hand and lifted Yan Ci's chin, forcing Yan Ci to look at him forcefully.

I only heard him say: "Tell me, what did Hua Cishu tell you."

Yan Ci looked into those eyes as deep as a pool, and for a moment she seemed to be back to the day when she was burned by the fire. The pain of the fire snake licking her body made her tremble uncontrollably.

There was a similar look in Shen Zhaoyan's eyes at that time, filled with murderous intent and a ruthless determination to win. Now that she is no longer Hua Cijing, she is once again forced to such a point by Shen Zhaoyan.

But she would never be controlled by him again.

Yan Ci looked into Shen Zhaoyan's eyes, "Your Highness, I think you misunderstood. I didn't see the Hua Ci tree late at night."

Shen Zhaoyan's eyes became even colder, "Yan Ci, don't challenge my bottom line. I am not a man who will show sympathy to women."

"I'm telling the truth. Your Majesty, are you trying to force me to confess by torture? Oh, yes, Your Majesty secretly kidnapped me and brought me here, isn't it to force me to confess?"

Shen Zhaoyan's face was very gloomy, and he gritted his teeth at Yan Ci's words. However, did she think that it was enough for her not to admit it? He, Shen Zhaoyan, did not need to admit or not admit what he had determined. He just wanted the result he wanted.

"Yan Ci, you are really good at speaking. Let me see how long your sharp tongue can last."

Shen Zhaoyan took the fan away from Yan Ci's chin, turned around and sat back in his chair, "Daoji!"

Dao Ji waved his hand outside and several people came in. Two of them were people Yan Ci had seen before. One was the burly man who knocked her out, and the other was a little girl selling flowers.

Seeing it from such a close distance, the sturdy man looked even more burly, with muscles as big as hills and a face full of flesh. There was contempt in his eyes as he looked at Yan Ci.

In contrast, the little girl selling flowers looked a little frightened. Her slightly shaking shoulders and timid eyes made her seem even more fragile. However, her already old clothes were now stained with blood, and the bloodstains bloomed on her body like blood-red flowers.

Shen Zhaoyan glanced at the few people, tapped his fan lightly in his palm, then raised it, pointed in this direction, and said, "You, go first."

The flower girl who was pointed at started shaking even more violently. She stepped back instead of forward and bumped into the burly man standing behind her. The burly man raised his hand and pushed her out.

The little girl fell at Shen Zhaoyan's feet, but Shen Zhaoyan laughed. "Why are you so scared? I'm not going to hit you this time. I'm asking you to hit her. Look at all the injuries on your body. They're all because of her. Now I'm giving you a chance to pay her back. Go ahead."

Shen Zhaoyan spoke in a gentle and persuasive tone, but there was an undisguised murderous intent in his eyes.

The little girl turned her head to look at Yan Ci who was being held up by two people, got up from the ground, and slowly walked towards Yan Ci.

She stopped three steps in front of Yan Ci and looked at him quietly, her slightly red eyes seeming to be filled with tears.

"My name is Wulan."

Yan Ci was stunned, looking at Wu Lan who introduced herself, he didn't quite understand what she meant.

At this time, Wulan took two steps towards Yan Ci. She slowly raised her hand, and a strange fragrance came out from her hand. The two servants who were holding Yan Ci suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground with a bang.

When Shen Zhaoyan saw Wu Lan's actions, he felt something was wrong, "Dao Ji, stop her!"

Dao Ji rushed over quickly, but it was too late. Wu Lan had already pulled Yan Ci towards the door.

The strong men who went to stop them fell to the ground before they even touched the corners of Wu Lan and Yan Ci's clothes.

Shen Zhaoyan covered his mouth and nose, "It's Qianri Zuilan, she actually has a trump card in her hand."

Yan Ci was pulled outside by Wu Lan. Although she didn't know why this little girl had hurt her and now saved her, she couldn't care less about these things as she could escape.

At this time, many men in black had gathered outside the house, and Wu Lan and Yan Ci, who had escaped, were once again surrounded.

There were countless men in black in front of her, and Shen Zhaoyan and Dao Ji following behind her. Wu Lan moved her palms slightly, and another strange fragrance emanated from her body.

But this time, everyone was already on guard, and Thousand Days of Drunken Orchid had no effect on them.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at the two people who were isolated and helpless, and sneered, "Capture them alive!"

Then the men in black swarmed forward.

The blade was approaching, and Yan Ci and Wu Lan cleverly dodged it, but after all, there were only two of them, and no matter how cleverly they dodged, they could not withstand the blindness of the sword.

A man in black rushed straight towards Yan Ci. Yan Ci was unarmed and could only retreat, but the blade that followed him was only half an inch away from Yan Ci's throat.

Wu Lan suddenly pushed Yan Ci, and the next moment, the sharp blade pierced Wu Lan's chest.
