In Shen Nanzhi's impression, she and Qin Suyi had no personal grudges.

Even if Qin Suyi inexplicably became Jiang Shiyan's concubine in this life, the relationship between them should not have reached the point of a life-and-death struggle.

If it was because of their identities and the hostile stances of both sides, then she should not only hate Shen Nanzhi.

What's more, Shen Nanzhi didn't see any hatred in her eyes.

She didn't hate Shen Nanzhi, but she wanted to put Shen Nanzhi to death.

This is strange.

Shen Nanzhi turned to look at Xiao Yanchu, wanting to hear what he had to say, but he raised his hand and said, "Get lost."

Then a burst of energy was shot towards Qin Suyi.

At such a close distance, Qin Suyi had no way to avoid it. She was blown away by the internal force, and hit the back wall with a bang and fell to the ground, then she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the blink of an eye, her face had turned as pale as paper, as if she had been on the brink of life and death.

In fact, it does.

If Xiao Yanchu had hit her harder, she would have died on the spot.

Qin Suyi didn't even bother to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth. She turned around and knelt down towards Xiao Yanchu: "Thank you for not killing me, young master."

She wanted to say something, but Xiao Yanchu had already said, "Go back and tell him that I know what to do about this matter. If he interferes again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Seeing his firm attitude, Qin Suyi didn't dare to say anything more. She lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I understand."

As she said that, she struggled to get up and was about to leave, but then she heard Xiao Yanchu say, "Don't come here again in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Suyi, who had just stood firm, almost fell down again. With tears in her eyes, she looked back at Xiao Yanchu: "Master..."

Qin Suyi was a natural beauty, extremely beautiful. At this moment, she had tears in her eyes and looked at him pitifully. Even Shen Nanzhi, as a woman, would be touched. One can imagine how lethal this look would be to a man.

However, Xiao Yanchu didn't even look at her, but turned to look at Shen Nanzhi. He changed his indifference to Qin Suyi just now, and said with a mischievous smile in his eyes: "Miss Shen, why don't you go back? Are you waiting for me to carry you on my back?"

Under normal circumstances, no matter how poor his health was, Shen Nanzhi would have to grit his teeth and hold on. But after hearing this, Shen Nanzhi not only would not ask for his help, but would also go back by himself holding the railing, and at least roll his eyes at him.

But now Shen Nanzhi suddenly had an idea and changed his mind.

She thought of the way this man supported her before, and how he looked afraid of being contaminated by her.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but smile a little, and continued his words: "Yes, are you done with your work?"

This time it was Xiao Yanchu's turn to have his eyes froze unnaturally.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi raised her hand, pretending to put it on him, and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you would carry me on your back? Why are you hiding from me?"

At that moment, Shen Nanzhi clearly saw the surprise and helplessness in Xiao Yanchu's eyes.

Shen Nanzhi thought to himself, as expected.

It seems that all his previous nonsense were just paper tigers, deliberately trying to provoke her.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt relieved, and even the smile in her eyes deepened a little.

But it was only for a moment. When she raised her eyes and saw Xiao Yanchu really bending down in front of her with his back to her, and then squatting down, Shen Nanzhi could no longer laugh.

This time it was Xiao Yanchu's turn to smile and say, "Please come in, Miss Shen."

There was a smile in his eyes as dazzling as stars.

Even though she couldn't see his true expression through the fox mask, when Shen Nanzhi saw that pair of smirking eyes, she seemed to hear him silently saying - come on, who's afraid of who?

This time it was Shen Nanzhi's turn, who originally wanted to test him, to be in a difficult situation.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi standing still, Xiao Yanchu even "kindly" reminded: "What's wrong, Miss Shen, are you afraid?"

Before Shen Nanzhi opened her mouth, Xiao Yanchu continued to smile and said, "That's right. Miss Shen is a lady from a wealthy family after all. She has to abide by the rules. Besides, she already has a fiancé. How can she get entangled with a stranger like me? Right?"

Shen Nanzhi, who was originally sure that he was bluffing and retreating to advance, couldn't tell for a moment whether he was really mocking her or deliberately provoking her to retreat.

Seeing that this man seemed to be certain that she would not let him carry her on his back and was about to stand up, Shen Nanzhi took a step forward, put her hand directly on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."

As she said this, she was about to bend down and lie on his back, but before she bent down and touched his back, Shen Nanzhi reached back and grabbed the fox mask on his face.

She wanted to see what kind of face was hidden behind that strange fox mask, and why it suddenly gave her a strong sense of familiarity!

Knowing this man's skills and reactions, Shen Nanzhi did not dare to be careless and could only take advantage of this rare close-range opportunity to suddenly attack.

The hand she placed on his shoulder was only an inch away from the fox mask.

Shen Nanzhi's movements were quick and accurate, but he was still a step late.

She had just moved, and the moment her fingertips touched the edge of the fox mask, before she could even muster the strength to remove it, the man grabbed her wrist and pulled her in front of him.

In order to put on a show, Shen Nanzhi was bending over, preparing to climb onto his back, but he pulled her so suddenly that she lost her balance and fell directly in front of him, right into his arms.

The hot temperature from his chest wrapped around Shen Nanzhi with the lingering sandalwood scent in an instant.

There was a loud bang in Shen Nanzhi's head, as if it was exploded by thunder.

He failed to steal the chicken and ended up getting himself involved.

Shen Nanzhi quickly turned over and tried to struggle to get up, but both of her wrists were easily held in his hands.

When Shen Nanzhi raised his eyes, he met the man's black eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"So Miss Shen wanted me to carry you up, so there's no need to throw yourself into my arms."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

The distance was so close that she could even see her own reflection in the man's eyes.

But because his hands and feet were captured, Shen Nanzhi couldn't take off his mask at all.

Seeing that he was really going to pick her up horizontally, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fox mask with a half-smile on it suddenly moved closer to Shen Nanzhi.

His tone was as cold and calm as his eyes: "Xiao Yanchu, Miss Shen already knows."

At this point, he paused, then glanced at Yue Wu who was about to wake up on the ground and said, "Could it be that Miss Shen thinks that my subordinates have recognized the wrong master?"

This may not be true, but Shen Nanzhi still has doubts in his heart.

Thinking of Qin Suyi who had already left, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but ask: "Your Excellency seems to be controlled by others, and your opinions are not unified."

The other party wanted to kill her, but Xiao Yanchu didn't want her life and just wanted to use her.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanchu smiled and admitted frankly: "Yes, so Miss Shen, don't run around. At least your life will be safe if you follow me. If you run away, you may not even know where you lost your life."

Although there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, Shen Nanzhi knew that what he said was not entirely false.

However, she still couldn't figure it out: "Why did they want to kill me?"

If according to Shen Nanzhi's previous speculation, Xiao Yanchu imprisoned her in order to control Xiao Chuyun, then why did Qin Suyi and others kill her?

Xiao Yanchu smiled.

Because the distance was so close, his eyes were moving, and the brilliance of his eyes almost dazzled Shen Nanzhi's eyes.

However, what he said made Shen Nanzhi instantly angry.

"you guess."

Shen Nanzhi's breath was choked. Even though her hands and feet were trapped, she wanted to just smash her forehead into his face to see which was more powerful, her forehead or the fox mask.

Just as this thought came to mind, Yuewu's exclamation came from not far away: "Master, what are you doing holding Miss Shen?"

As soon as the words fell, the two people who were originally at loggerheads stiffened in tacit understanding.

Xiao Yanchu quickly let go of Shen Nanzhi and took a half step back, still looking disgusted as if he was afraid of being contaminated by Shen Nanzhi in the slightest.

He turned his head and glanced at Yuewu, and said coldly: "She is exhausted. Now that you are awake, you can take her back."

Hearing this, Yue Wu revealed a look of realization. She quickly agreed, and then climbed up using her hands and feet. After calming down, she said to Shen Nanzhi, "Miss Shen, let me carry you up."

Seeing Shen Nanzhi standing still and looking like she was about to refuse, Yuewu quickly waved her hand and said, "I have a good physical foundation. That little bit of drug can only trap me for a moment. I am fine now. I promise that Miss Shen will not fall."

But as soon as she raised her hand, Shen Nanzhi saw the bloody flesh on her palm.

She cut her palm with the sword in order to keep herself awake. In addition, the subsequent fight with Qin Suyi kept exerting force on her palm while holding the sword, which made the wound even deeper.

But she acted as if nothing had happened. She was even worried that the blood would stain Shen Nanzhi's dress, so she kept wiping it on herself. Seeing that it was getting more and more, she said awkwardly, "Sorry, Miss Shen, I can hold you with my arms behind my back with my fists clenched. I promise I won't stain Miss Shen."

Her innocent look made Shen Nanzhi feel embarrassed: "Thank you for what I did just now. I can leave by myself."

In any case, if Yuewu had not fought to protect him, Shen Nanzhi might have been in great danger.

As she spoke, Shen Nanzhi took a step to leave, but because her nerves had been tense, she did not notice that there was a dull pain in her lungs.

At this moment, as long as she used a little strength, every step she took, Shen Nanzhi felt a piercing pain in her lungs, and her face turned a little paler.

Seeing this, Yuewu made a prompt decision without waiting for Xiao Yanchu to speak: "Miss Shen's health is more important. I am sorry for the offense."

After saying that, Yuewu leaned over, picked up Shen Nanzhi on her back, and walked briskly up to the fourth floor.

Shen Nanzhi had identified the drug before when he passed by the stairs on the fourth floor. It was absolutely reliable. Even if the dosage was not large, the drug would take an ordinary person an hour or two to wake up.

Even if you are in good health and wake up early, you will still have the side effect of sore limbs, and it will take at least half a day to recover.

But Yuewu's agile and swift movements didn't show that she had been drugged by the incense just a quarter of an hour ago.

Shen Nanzhi was amazed by the girl's physique.

Because of the previous fight, the fourth floor, from the stairs all the way to the observation deck, was already in chaos.

After Yuewu sent Shen Nanzhi back to her room, she bandaged herself hastily and started to clean up.

Not only was she swift, but her movements were also very efficient. In less than a cup of tea, she had put all the messy things in order and put them in order again.

She also moved away the broken porcelain and broken tables, chairs and benches and quickly replaced them with new ones.

Shen Nanzhi had just recovered from her shock when Yuewu had already finished her work. She walked towards Shen Nanzhi with a bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts in her hand.

"Miss Shen, Doctor Luo was sent away by Qin Suyi before, and it will take some time for him to come back. When he comes back, he will probably have to boil the medicine for Miss Shen again. Here are the sugar-roasted chestnuts that my servants just bought. Before drinking the medicine, Miss Shen might as well have some."

Speaking of sugar-roasted chestnuts, Shen Nanzhi thought of how Xiao Yanchu had clearly seen the Shen family's mark before, but pretended not to know and watched her try to cover up, just like she was watching a monkey show.

Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but clench his fists and wanted to hit someone.

Moreover, thinking that Xiao Yanchu had already recognized the Shen family's mark and asked someone to change to another shop, her hope for sugar-roasted chestnuts was naturally dashed.

Shen Nanzhi didn't have much appetite, so she waved her hand and was about to ask Yuewu to take it and eat it herself, but she saw that Yuewu had already opened the oil paper package and was cutting it with a knife.

She made another cut on the sugar-roasted chestnuts that already had a straight line, then two horizontal cuts, and finally, she poked a dot in the middle.

And that mark happened to be the contact mark of the Shen family's secret guards!

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi was startled. She couldn't help but frowned and looked at Yuewu: "What are you doing?"

Hearing this, Yue Wu looked bewildered. She lowered her eyes and looked at the sliced ​​sugar-roasted chestnuts, puzzled, "Yesterday I saw the young master slicing them with a knife like this, and Miss Shen was the first to pick it up. I thought it would be easier to peel or taste better this way. Didn't Miss Shen like it?"

Yuewu blinked her clear and innocent big eyes.

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

She likes it, she likes it very much!

Damn Xiao Yanchu!

There was no signal secretly sent to her by the Shen family's secret guards. It turned out that Xiao Yanchu was just playing a trick on her from the beginning to the end!

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi, who was already extremely angry, suddenly thought of something.

She frowned and looked at Yuewu: "Have I sent the letter back to the Shen family?"

Yuewu nodded first, and Shen Nanzhi was about to feel relieved, but when he heard Yuewu's next words, he almost had a heart attack.

"Don't worry, Miss Shen. The letter should have been sent back. I saw with my own eyes that the young master copied it down for Miss Shen and asked someone to take it down."

Excerpted...

Shen Nanzhi was so angry that she laughed.

Is it necessary to quote just those four words?

Moreover, those four words were written according to his instructions.

If it was just to get her handwriting, since he had investigated her so thoroughly and even had a spy in the Shen family, how could he not get the posts where she practiced her writing?

If that's the case, why should he go to so much trouble?

unless……

Just like the sugar-roasted chestnuts, he had already seen through her little trick and knew that she would tamper with the letter, and he was waiting for her to do so!

The tracking incense sprinkled on the letter was the last bit of Shen Nanzhi left.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt as if he was falling into an ice cellar.
