Seeing the scene in front of her, Gu Rong hurriedly helped Taoist Ling Chen out.

The corridor of the cell was empty except for the two of them.

"Don't leave, okay? Yunyi. Please..."

Lan Yuanzhou crawled on the ground and pulled Lan Yunyi's skirt with all his strength. His hands were trembling. It was the first time he was so frightened and humble.

An uneasy suspicion emerged in his heart - Will Lan Yunyi never forgive him?

When he thought of this possibility, he felt that the ground beneath his feet was about to sink. The self-comfort and longing he had felt tens of thousands of times in the past might seem like a joke at this moment.

Lan Yunyi's face looked a little tired. She looked at Lan Yuanzhou, who was almost covered in bruises. Her silent eyes were unusually cold and cold, which frightened him.

"Okay, I won't leave. But what can you say?" Lan Yunyi looked him up and down, and finally made a sound of boredom. Her voice was hoarse due to recent fatigue.

"I-I-" Lan Yuanzhou timidly looked at Lan Yunyi's expressionless eyes, but was speechless.

"You want to say that you are wrong? You want to ask me to forgive you?" Lan Yunyi said in a faint tone, with a bit of sarcasm on her face, "Is there anything else?"

"Fifth brother was ignorant before. Now fifth brother realizes that he can't live without you. I regret it! I regret it all the time. Yunyi, can you give fifth brother another chance?"

Lan Yuanzhou shook his head in pain, with a cry in his voice, and felt a splitting headache.

"Not all mistakes can be forgiven, Lan Yuanzhou. If you say this because you want to make you feel at ease when you dream back at midnight, then you can just carry your useless confession and suffer for the rest of your life."

"I remember everything you did to me. Now that I see you, I can remember the day you pushed me into the lake and your nasty smile." Lan Yunyi twitched the corner of her mouth.

, there is no warmth visible in the eyes.

"No----"

Lan Yunyi's words instantly shattered his long-held dream, and his beautiful fantasy collapsed in an instant.

"I know I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. They all said that as long as I make up for it, you can forgive me. We can go back, right? You can definitely forgive me, right?"

Lan Yuanzhou shook his head violently and sobbed heartbreakingly. He never thought that Lan Yunyi would be so decisive and indifferent.

Lan Yunyi told him the answer with practical actions.

She pulled the skirt out of Lan Yuanzhou's hand and walked around his bloody body.

Without any hesitation.

Lan Yuanzhou knelt on the spot in despair, sobbing violently, and his whole body was shaking. He buried his head deeply into his neck, feeling that the world was dark.

why why?

It seems that he has lost Lan Yunyi forever...

What to do...what on earth is he going to do?

—————————

When a few people walked out of the cell, the sky had completely darkened.

The capital city was still decorated with lights and colorful lights in the evening, and it seemed very lively, but this liveliness had nothing to do with Lan Yunyi.

Lan Yunyi's face was pale, her skirt was stained with blood, and even her bun was a bit messy. She seemed out of place in the entire capital.

There are still children singing the nursery rhyme on the street, and it seems to be getting worse and worse.

The people on the street recalled the recent curses, and they all hurriedly grabbed the children's hands and walked around Lan Yunyi.

A strange vacuum circle formed around her.

Lan Wanru is indeed Lan Wanru. The rumors she creates easily are light and fluttery, but they can crush a person to death.

Gu Rong looked at her with a hint of distress and worry.

Lan Yunyi smiled reassuringly at her.

Today is all thanks to Gu Rong. If it weren't for her, it would have been impossible for the uncle to be released so easily.

After parting ways with Gu Rong, Lan Yunyi sent her uncle to Qingyun Temple, and then went to Zhiwei Pavilion herself.

After letting Lan Wanru be proud for so long, it's time for her to taste the backlash of rumors.

It seems that tomorrow is the day when Princess Chaoyang will visit Wufangzhai in person?

She raised her eyebrows.

It was late at night, and except for Li Erniu, there were no other waiters in Zhiwei Pavilion.

Following Lan Yunyi's instructions, he bought a lot of red candles and was waiting for her arrival in the store.

What Lan Yunyi was waiting for was this kind of late night.

She whispered a few words into Li Erniu's ear. Li Erniu looked at the red candle in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

—————————

The next day.

Lan Wanru made a lot of preparations to welcome Princess Chaoyang's arrival.

She followed the secret recipe and spent a lot of money to buy ice cubes and make them into crispy mountains.

He also ordered people to compose a tune for Princess Chaoyang's favorite Heart Sutra, and hired one of the best opera troupes in the capital to sing it in the attic.

I didn't see him, but I heard his voice. His singing was melodious and lingered around the beam for three days.

She also relied on the connections between Lan Mansion and Princess Lingshu to invite many people, preparing to use today's momentum to grandly launch Sushan and win the right to plan the birthday banquet of the Duke's Mansion.

She wants everyone to know that her Wufangzhai is no worse than Lan Yunyi's Zhiweige.

She is better than Lan Yunyi, and her shop will crush Lan Yunyi's shop under her feet!

"Miss, the gentlemen and ladies you invited are all coming one after another. Their carriages are waiting outside. Do you want to invite them in first? Let them see how elegant our environment is!"

Qiaodie asked happily while looking at the bustling crowd outside.

Lan Wanru's hand making Sushan paused slightly. She pondered for a while, then shook her head pretending to be profound.

"Let them wait outside first. We will wait for Princess Chaoyang's car to arrive before we open the shop." There was a slight smile on her face.

"But the weather is so hot, I'm afraid it won't be good if these gentlemen and young ladies wait outside dryly..." Qiaodie felt a little confused.

"Only when you are extremely hot and extremely thirsty can you enjoy the cold and delicious food of Sushan, right? What's more, when Lan Yunyi's shop opened, didn't it mean that so many people were waiting outside? No one complained." Lan said.

Wanru said.

On the day Lan Yunyi's shop opened, she refused to lower her status to inquire about the news. After learning that she had made two thousand taels in one day, she became furious and fainted for several days.

Naturally, she only scratched the surface and felt that Lan Yunyi had shut everyone out and made them wait dryly, but she didn't know that Lan Yunyi had sent refreshing mung bean smoothies to all the carriages, and also sold out

A mysterious couplet was provided for them to discuss.

They argued endlessly over this couplet and marveled at the free mung bean smoothie in front of them. The days on the carriage were more comfortable than at home, so no one would complain.

Lan Yunyi also placed ice cubes on the street to cool down, but it was different from today's scorching sun.

The scorching sun is hanging in the sky, and it is so hot today that there is no wind. Cicadas are tearing their throats on the treetops, making noisy voices. The carriage is small and stuffy, and it is really unbearable for most people.

After hearing Lan Wanru's words, Qiaodie looked out the window doubtfully, and felt a little strange when she saw all the gentlemen and ladies getting off the carriage covered in sweat.

Everyone's reaction today is a little different from the day Lan Yunyi's shop opened...
