"You're back!"
Minglan looked at Cockroach nervously and clasped his hands together.
She was extremely anxious.
They had been out for so long, what did Ran You say to him?
Could it be that she had begun to suspect that Che'er's death was related to her?
Shen Jiayu noticed something was wrong with Minglan's expression. Thinking of Aran's words, he deliberately asked: "What's wrong? Why does his face look so bad?"
Cockroach is still the same as before, caring about himself.
If Ran You really said something, he would definitely question himself immediately, and if he is so calm now, does it mean...
"Minglan, are you okay?" She didn't answer, so Shen Jiayou asked again.
Minglan hurriedly shook off the turmoil in her heart, and deliberately asked: "It's okay, Cockroach, Miss Aran didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No!"
"That's good, what about her?"
Minglan couldn't make up her mind. She didn't know whether she should ask Chou Yu what they had talked about.
Shen Jiayou saw Minglan's thoughts and sighed slightly, "Aran came to me to discuss going to Yongcheng."
Minglan could finally let go of her worries, but she soon realized something was wrong, "Go back to Yongcheng? Don't you want to go back to the Western Region?"
"I won't come back!" Shen Jiayou said with a solemn expression.
Che'er's death was too sudden, so he didn't have time to tell Minglan about it.
Minglan's mood was complicated. She was reluctant to say goodbye to Jiayugu, but if he also went to Yongcheng together, then...
There was another thing that concerned her very much, "Why does Miss Aran want to discuss this matter with you? Didn't we go to Yongcheng with them?"
Shen Jiayou shook his head, "Because he didn't want to be too ostentatious, the ninth prince decided to act separately. He told me that I must bring you to Yongcheng safely!"
Minglan's face changed drastically when she heard this.
What does it mean?
Don't want to be too ostentatious?
There were only five of them in total. How could they attract attention?
Minglan knew that these were all just excuses.
The Ninth Prince made this decision because he didn't want to see her!
Minglan was indignant. She had done so many things for the Ninth Prince, why did he never truly accept her?
She thought of Wu Yin again.
Obviously he was the one who gave the most, but why did Wu Yin get all the favor from the Ninth Prince?
If she hadn't hindered him, the Ninth Prince would certainly not have been so ruthless to him.
Before meeting the Ninth Prince, Minglan had never taken the initiative to compete with Wu Yin for anything, but now she would never be like that again!
She and Wu Yin are definitely at odds with each other!
Minglan didn't realize that the reason why she could still go to Yongcheng with Cayyu was all because of Wu Yin.
Without Wu Yin, He Lianxuan would never have let her live until now.
But even if Minglan really knew everything, she would never be grateful to Wu Yin in the slightest.
She will even hate Wu Yin even more than now and want her to disappear from this world forever.
Once you fall down, you can't get back up!
"Are you really okay?"
Shen Jiayou's words broke Minglan's thoughts. She shook her head gently and pretended to be calm: "Jiayou, I'm sorry, I have to trouble you for a while again!"
"It's all little things!"
Shen Jiayou's eyes were worried. Although it was only for a moment, he had already noticed how gloomy Minglan's expression was just now.
Her face was full of unwillingness and resentment.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Minglan asked in panic.
Once people do something bad, they will constantly worry about others discovering their crime.
That’s why some people are always suspicious!
Minglan is in this state now.
She couldn't really calm down.
Because if they knew the truth, they would definitely not let him go so easily. Even cockroaches might not be willing to speak for themselves anymore.
Shen Jiayou sighed subconsciously, and he found an excuse at random, "You are suffering from the cold, and I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it!"
They all thought he wouldn't lie, but he just didn't want to deceive the people around him.
If he really wanted to deceive someone, he would definitely find a way to prevent the other party from finding out anything.
Minglan was obviously relieved, "I'm much better now, don't worry!"
Shen Jiayou nodded.
"By the way, cockroach, apart from that, did Miss Aran tell you anything else?" Minglan still couldn't help but ask.
Shen Jiayou suppressed his sadness, "She also said that Che'er has been buried, and there is nothing else."
Minglan's shoulders trembled suddenly, "Che'er will be very lonely here alone!"
"yes!"
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Ciao Yu, otherwise I wouldn't go to Yongcheng with you. I think it's better for me to stay here with Che'er!" Minglan said hypocritically.
"Why did we leave you here alone?"
"But..."
"Don't say that again. The greatest comfort to the dead is that the living are well!" Shen Jiayou turned his head, "We will set off soon, please pack your things first!"
"good!"
Minglan stopped mentioning this matter. If they really let her stay in Yongcheng, wouldn't she have no chance to get close to the Ninth Prince?
"Should we still live together after arriving in Yongcheng?" Minglan asked in a low voice.
"Yes, Aran will arrange a place for us, but don't worry, you and I won't have to pretend to be husband and wife when we get to Yongcheng. We will just treat each other as brother and sister."
Minglan nodded silently.
"I have always wanted to have a brother who cares about me. I often wonder if you were really my brother, would I be much happier than I am now?"
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you!"
"Thank you, cockroach!"
"Need not!"
Shen Jiayou's mood was particularly complicated. If Minglan fell voluntarily, could he really pull her up from the abyss?
Not only that, if Che'er's death was really related to Minglan, would he feel sorry for her again?
But no matter what, Shen Jiayu couldn't really leave Minglan alone. Besides, he indirectly killed her mother.
They were both thinking a lot at the moment.
Minglan suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Jiayu intently, "Has Miss Aran mentioned Wu Yin to you?"
"No!" Shen Jiayou observed Minglan calmly and asked softly: "Who is Wu Yin?"
Minglan shook her head, "Nothing, just a friend!"
It seems that Ran You really didn't say anything to Cockroach.
The only one who can guarantee her safety now is cockroach, so she must stay calm.
If cockroach doubts herself again, her next life will really be even more difficult.
"You go ahead, I have to go back to my room to pack my things!"
"good!"
The moment Shen Jiayou closed the door, his eyes suddenly became melancholy.
Sure enough, things were not as simple as he thought.
~~~
"where are you going?"
"Liu Mansion." Lin Zai replied calmly.
She deliberately kept a distance from Yin Tianxun in order to make him completely give up on her.
But this man was more stubborn than she imagined.
"Why are you going to Liu Mansion?" Yin Tianxun asked with wide eyes.
The token matter left him with lingering fears. The Liu Mansion might be more dangerous than they imagined, so he was even more reluctant to let Ah Zai get involved in it.
"Something needs to be done!"
"Do you have to go?"
"right!"
"Then I'll accompany you!"
"Need not."
"Ah Zai!" Yin Tianxun's tone rarely became serious. He was afraid that Ah Zai would still refuse, so he deliberately acted like a prince, "I am the prince, is it possible that you still want to disobey me?"
Lin Zai turned away, she walked straight out of Li's house without saying anything.
No matter what she says, this person will follow her.
Yin Tianxun felt uncomfortable. Ever since she put down all her scruples and cried in his arms that night, Ah Zai never treated her properly again.
Yin Tianxun didn't want to push Azai too hard, let alone force her to accept his feelings. What he wanted was really simple, that is, to be by Azai's side and protect her at all times.
But should Ah Zai be deprived of even this simplest wish?
Not only Yin Tianxun, Lin Zai was also worried.
She and Tianxun were destined not to go the same way, so the long-term pain was naturally not as good as the short-term pain.
But why can't he understand?
There are so many good girls in the world, there is really no need for him to just keep to himself.
But if he was really as good to other girls as he was to himself, or even better than himself, would she be envious, sad, and jealous?
This indescribable thought was firmly entangled in Lin Zai's mind, and she could not get rid of it no matter how hard she tried.
Having arrived at the Liu Mansion, Lin Zai took a deep breath. She still had business to do, so she must not be swayed by unnecessary emotions anymore!
When Liu's housekeeper saw that it was Miss Lin, he immediately went to inform the master. Soon he ran back to the door, saluted Lin Zai respectfully and said: "Miss Lin, come in quickly, I will take you to find the master right now."
He glanced at Yin Tianxun again and asked uncertainly: "This is it?"
"He is a relative of my adoptive mother's family."
After hearing this, Butler Liu hurriedly saluted Yin Tianxun: "Master, please come in too!"
Lin Zai was always polite to others, but now her eyes were cold.
No one in the Liu family made her feel favorably. If it weren't for the situation, she really wanted to get rid of the biggest scourge in the Western City as soon as possible.
Butler Liu nodded and bowed to Lin Zai, but his attitude towards those who were inferior to him was completely opposite.
Just like the Ling family mother and son.
He was obviously a poor person who had suffered and been oppressed, but in the end he suddenly turned into the kind of evil person who had oppressed him!
Hateful people may have really experienced misfortune, but they are not worthy of sympathy at all!
Because not all poor people will lose themselves in the end.
