The crowd gradually dispersed, and her eyes couldn't help but look towards the night sky.
The universe is so vast that it accommodates everything in the world, including heaven, earth, stars, and all things, but it still seems extremely empty. Why can't some people, who are already so high above us, not be able to tolerate a few ants?
Qianru couldn't understand. Now she only had the word "difficult" in her heart and was struggling.
Just when she was lost in thought, Yi Zhonglun suddenly dragged her into the study and pushed her to the ground.
Yu Fu on the side was also horrified. It was the first time that he saw his master getting so angry. He obediently closed the door and quietly backed away.
The candlelight in the room suddenly flickered extremely fiercely.
Between the light and darkness, Qianru looked up and saw an angry face she had never seen before.
Yi Zhonglun angrily asked her to tell him everything in detail, as if she had some scheming behind his back.
She was forced to resist in the first place, so there was nothing she couldn't say, so she told him everything.
"You little girl, how can you be so calm?" Yi Zhonglun lowered his voice and said excitedly, "You have caused such a catastrophic disaster and still act as if nothing happened. Is your heart made of flesh?"
"I can be so calm because I was forced to do so."
"What a heartless person. I'm so protective of you, haven't you ever thought of having an affair with me?"
Yi Zhonglun's face was full of sincerity, but Qianru didn't think it was worthy of belief. She glanced lightly and lowered her eyebrows without saying a word.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yi Zhonglun couldn't bear to scold her any more, so he helped her up.
"Don't think you'll be safe after tonight. You're in big trouble! Think about it quickly and think about whether you have any clues that might be discovered and taken advantage of."
Qianru then expressed her worries about her younger brother Zhixuan.
Yi Zhonglun then ordered Yu Fu to take him and her to the academy to fetch An Zhixuan out.
However, she did not find Zhixuan when she arrived at the academy.
The Master dug out his notebook and found a record from a month ago.
Zhixuan was picked up by An Qianwen and never came back.
But how did An Qianwen know that Zhixuan was here? Why did she do this?
Qianru panicked and became confused. It took her a while to remember that when she and Sima Jiuniang had a falling out, An Qianwen was still working as a dancer at the Haitang Pavilion, but her marriage contract was in the hands of Zhao Xianer.
Could it be that Zhao Xianer asked her to pick it up?
But why did Zhao Xianer do this?
After picking up someone, where will they go?
With the mentality of giving it a try, she went back to the house to search, and found that all the suitcases that Zhao Xianer had piled inside were missing, and there was a lot of dust inside.
She estimated that Zhao Xianer had been here before, but Zhao Xianer was also in trouble. If he didn't live here, where would he live?
Thinking, thinking, she went to the Haitang Pavilion and found that it had been transformed into a half-faced peach blossom.
Banmian Peach Blossom is still in the business of singing and dancing studios, and business is booming. It's already midnight, but it's still full.
Such a luxurious place is usually attended by high-profile people.
Seeing that Yu Fu was hesitant, Qianru asked him to lead someone to stay outside while she went in to ask.
As soon as she stepped through the door, she recognized An Qianwen dancing on the stage.
An Qianwen's left and right faces were painted with different makeup. One side was thick with makeup and the other was light and elegant. There was a man wearing a mask dancing side by side with her.
Such unique singing and dancing is truly novel, no wonder the spectators are reluctant to leave.
There were many old people from Haitang Restaurant in Ban Mian Peach Blossom. Soon after Qianru entered, she was recognized by the waiter Fu Sheng.
"I'm looking for your shopkeeper."
Fu Sheng did not stop her and politely led her to the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is hung with exquisite lanterns, as bright as day.
This used to be the residence of the singers and dancers in the museum, but now it has been converted into a number of elegant rooms specially designed to receive special guests.
The small courtyard where she once lived has become a place for trading expensive antique calligraphy and paintings.
Only a few rooms had no lights.
The original crabapple trees in the courtyard have all turned into peach trees, with branches full of flowers.
She gently touched the pink flowers on the branch and found that they were all velvet flowers carefully sewn by hand.
So much, how much effort and money must be spent!
Fu Sheng led her to the waterside pavilion in the garden and asked her to wait there while he left.
Qianru waited for a while and saw no one coming, so she started walking around the garden by herself.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear Zhao Xianer singing, and the song was a song she wrote.
The sound is getting closer and closer.
She looked around and found Zhao Xian'er coming here, and greeted her happily.
The two sisters hugged each other and cried, and it took a long time to hold back their tears.
Zhao Xianer's whole body is decorated with brilliant embroidery, her makeup is bright and grand, and her face is full of spring breeze.
Qianru had some guesses that she might be the shopkeeper of Banmian Peach Blossom, but she couldn't believe it.
After all, not long ago, they were forced into desperation together.
But there are so many strange things in the world, and Zhao Xianer is really the shopkeeper of Half-faced Peach Blossom.
Qianru really wanted to hear her legendary experience, but she came here for her brother Zhixuan, so she couldn't wait as soon as she held back her tears.
Zhao Xianer comforted her not to worry.
"The two legitimate daughters of Rong Guo Gong are well-known fierce women among the noble ladies in the capital. How could I not understand the worries in your heart? So, as soon as I was out of trouble, I asked Qianwen to pick up Zhixuan. He,
It's very safe, even if they search the capital, they won't be able to find Zhixuan."
"But I offended Ninghou Mansion again, so I'm afraid it's not that safe."
Zhao Xianer told her that she asked a friend to send Zhixuan back to Gongjiang's hometown and leave it to the An family members to take care of him.
It was really hard for Zhixuan, and Qianru felt guilty and shed tears.
Even if he had a harder time in Gongjiang City, it would still be better than being tortured and killed in the capital!
She owed Zhao Xian'er a great favor again, Qianru didn't know how to express her gratitude, and all of it turned into tears.
"Stop crying. By making yourself so haggard, aren't you helping those bad people who harmed you?"
"My sister's lesson is that I won't cry anymore, I won't cry anymore."
She burst into tears and smiled, grabbing Zhao Xianer's hand and asking her how she was doing.
"My situation is actually not much better than yours. Don't be afraid of your jokes. Half of the peach blossoms were created by me and a few people in partnership, including the evil-minded Sima Jiuniang. Her backstage is far better than we imagined.
Powerful, alas!"
While Zhao Xianer sighed, Qianru noticed a pair of eyes full of hatred in the corridor, which were those of Sima Jiuniang.
"I can't help it. I have been pampered since I was a teenager, and I have adapted to this kind of life. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I have really been stuck in the mud in my life, alas!"
At this time, Yu Fu came over.
She had errands to do tomorrow morning, so it was inconvenient for Qianru to stay longer, so she had to make an appointment with Zhao Xianer to meet again next time.
When we returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost the fourth watch. The lights in Yi Zhonglun's room were still on and the door was ajar.
She thought he was waiting for her to return and report, so she knocked on the door twice and stepped in.
Unexpectedly, he saw An Qianya lying on her side in his arms. She quickly covered her eyes and quietly exited.
Bastard, you don't close the door at night, as if no one knows you have a concubine!
She cursed secretly, returned to her bedroom, tidied it up roughly, and fell asleep.
She was sleeping soundly when a basin of cold water suddenly arrived, splashing her awake.
