Ye Ziqing suddenly exuded a deep sadness.

She stood there with her eyes lowered, as petite as a flower that was kept indoors all year round, yet revealing the grief that came from being left in the cold rain and being ravaged in every way.

Feng Yuqi took a step forward with heartache and raised his hand to hold up the face that had captivated him.

Just as he was about to touch her jaw, Su Yunxuan forcefully opened his hands.

She then took a big step back and stared at him warily.

Feng Yuqi frowned and looked at her. The person in front of him seemed like a straight rose, and the thorns on the stem suddenly stretched out because he wanted to get closer.

Pointedly, toward him.

His heart ached again. Feng Yuqi withdrew his hand and clenched his fist.

Drink poison to quench your thirst!

Didn't he know this would happen?

Why would you care? !

Seeing Feng Yuqi and Su Yunxuan staring at each other, the expression in that strange pair of eyes was even more unpredictable. Ayi was so scared that he pulled Su Yunxuan and said pitifully: "Sister, Ayi is hungry!"

Tianxun also hurriedly touched his stomach and agreed: "We came here in a hurry. We haven't eaten for a long time."

Ayi and Tianxun finished eating the delicious food on the table. Governor Chen watched the servant pack up and leave. He walked to Feng Yuqi's side and said, "I have arranged everything. We can leave at noon."

Feng Yuqi's heart was moved when he heard this, and he looked at Prefect Chen with admiration.

This man is a common man, but he has been working hard in Fenglan Capital for decades. He has been able to keep himself out of trouble in the turbulent political world where people are fighting for power, and he has been promoted all the way without taking sides. It seems that he has some tricks.

Catching the admiration in Feng Yuqi's eyes, Governor Chen calmed down and expressed his loyalty again, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will be absolutely loyal to you and serve you from now on."

Toyotama nodded.

Prefect Chen withdrew and hurried to the inner courtyard to comfort his wife and children.

Governor Chen did have good execution ability. He was a little greedy but not too greedy. He was always flattering and smooth with his superiors, but diligent in serving the people.

He is a bit lustful, but he never forces others. His legal wife is also his former wife, and his two sons are also born to his legal wife.

It was under his two years of governance that Haiyue City developed from a small border town into the economically prosperous place it is today.

But Feng Yuqi didn't know that the real purpose of Governor Chen's quick arrangement of the people and materials needed for departure was to get rid of this evil spirit as soon as possible.

Who made him have a reputation for being cruel?

The eldest son of the prefect's mansion is over sixteen years old. He knows about King Hao and is making a fuss in the back house, refusing to return to Fenglan capital to worship his ancestors!

Seeing that Governor Chen was walking away, Su Yunxuan turned to Feng Yuqi who was sitting at the table and said, "I want to go to Wangyou Pavilion with Ayi again."

Feng Yuqi paused in pinching the cup, frowned and looked at Su Yunxuan without saying a word.

Su Yunxuan bit her lip and insisted, "I want to take one last look at that place."

Feng Yuqi put down the cup and stood up, "I'll go with you."

The carriage stopped in front of Wangyou Pavilion. Looking up at the three big characters "Wangyou Pavilion" on the plaque, Su Yunxuan clenched her hands holding the curtain suddenly. Her nails dug into her flesh but she didn't feel any pain.

Ayi's call of "sister" brought her back to her senses. When she let go of her hand, she noticed bloodstains on the curtain.

The raised front leg paused again.

After they met in Wangyou Pavilion that day, Brother Changfeng even crushed his hand when he sent her home.

What was his state of mind at that time?

He spent so much effort to find her, and he approached her cautiously, hoping that she would remember him on her own initiative.

And her?

Instantly, a strong sense of self-blame and sorrow came over her, as if it was slicing at her heart, tearing her entire soul to pieces...

She stared at one place with watery eyes and bit her lips until they bled.

Feng Yuqi's hands, which were stretched out in the air, froze, and he looked in the direction Su Yunxuan was looking.

There were two drops of blood on the white silk curtain, like two bright red poppies.

Feeling a pain in his heart, Feng Yuqi grabbed Su Yunxuan's wrist and wanted to check her palm.

The slender wrist twisted in an attempt to break free, the fingers clenched until the knuckles turned white.

"Let go." Feng Yuqi increased the strength of his palm and shouted.

"Let me go." Su Yunxuan clenched her fists stubbornly and used her other hand to push Feng Yuqi's hand.

Feng Yuqi's eyes suddenly swept towards Su Yunxuan, staring into her eyes and shouting angrily: "Go back to the governor's mansion!"

"No!" Su Yunxuan paused and immediately grabbed Feng Yuqi's wrist which was about to be retracted.

A teardrop slid down, and the fluorescence fell into the slowly spreading, bloodless palm. Following the lines, it melted into the punctured blood, as if piercing the tip of Feng Yuqi's heart.

"A quarter of an hour." He shook off Su Yunxuan's hand, turned his head away, and took a few steps back to sit on the stool.

Ayi helped Su Yunxuan off the horse with a nervous heart, and Tianxun followed behind.

Seeing that their figures did not enter the door, Feng Yuqi pulled the curtain, pulled out the dagger in front of his chest and slashed it hard.

The half piece of silk was folded and placed in front of the chest of Feng Yu.

Inside the Forget-Your-Sorrow Pavilion, Su Yunxuan was waiting in the lobby, her fingertips gently stroking the Yunxuan flower pattern on the jade token that she had touched countless times.

Shopkeeper Dong followed Ayi out, and when he saw the icy pink jade token in her hand, he quickened his pace and walked forward.

Standing in front of Su Yunxuan, Shopkeeper Dong looked at her in confusion.

The boss said there is only one piece of this jade token!

The last time the person who brought this token was a stunningly beautiful woman, how come it was a young man today?

These facial features?

With pupils slightly dilated, Shopkeeper Dong recognized the man and was about to speak, but Ah Yi asked unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

Manager Dong did not reply. He took a step to the side, leaned over to Su Yunxuan and raised his hand, "Miss Ye... Sir, please come in!"

Su Yunxuan sat down at the table in the elegant room.

Shopkeeper Dong saw her grief-stricken face and recalled the last time she left in a hurry with her parents' ice coffin. He couldn't help but comfort her kindly: "Everything that has a form must end. Miss Ye, please accept my condolences."

With a slight tremor of pain in her heart, Su Yunxuan stroked the jade token, raised her eyes and asked Shopkeeper Dong hoarsely: "Did he leave any words?"

Shopkeeper Dong stared at the jade token and frowned. Meeting Su Yunxuan's expectant eyes, he said hurriedly, "The boss only said that this jade token can mobilize all the shops and money under his name. But I really don't know which shops the boss has in the whole Fenglan."

"I roughly know something." Ayi interrupted while chewing an apple he took from the table.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Dong looked at Ayi.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Dong looked unconvinced, A Yi quickly swallowed the fruit and said, "Although I have only been with the master for half a year, I have been to many places. I don't know about other places, but I know which ones there are in Haiyue City."

As he said this, he put down the apples and began to count them one by one.

"As for teahouses, there's no need to mention Wangyou Pavilion, but all the teahouses in the city are open."

"It's Liuguang Shop, which specializes in selling rouge and powder."

"It sells women's cloth and ready-made clothes, Nishangfang."

"The one that sells women's gold and silver jewelry, Qiyuan Pavilion."

"There is also a restaurant, Qiongzhilou."

Ayi said "family" and stretched out one of his fingers.

Manager Dong's pupils also widened.

I only knew that the young master was usually generous, but I didn't know that his wealth was so huge!

He had long known how popular Liuguangpu, Nishangfang and Qiyuange were among the girls in the city.

I heard that the women's items sold there are all in line with the latest trends in the city and are exactly the same as those sold in the main store.

Every time new products came out in those places, his daughter would rush to grab them, and he would stop her several times in confusion.

His daughter replied: If you don't go early, someone else will get there first. Even the wives and daughters of the rich and powerful in the city are eager to get those exquisite products...

"That's about it." Ayi folded his outstretched fingers.

Shopkeeper Dong concealed the shock in his eyes and raised his face slightly.

Having been the owner of Wangyou Pavilion for so many years, he didn't know that Liuguang Shop, Nishangfang and Qiyuan Pavilion in the same city all belonged to the same owner.

He'll have to visit the family soon.

After getting close to him, you can then take credit in front of his wife and daughter. Why should you worry about not improving your status at home?
