Chu Yan thought to himself, if I hadn't been involved with him, how would you have found the account book? Now that he's saying this, it's quite a bit like trying to burn bridges.
But her face was pale and she didn't reply.
The two of them sat opposite each other, and Chu Yan had nothing to say.
Chang Zhe wanted to speak several times, but when he saw her gloomy expression, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
"If you are tired, go and rest first."
He whispered, and then added, "This courtyard belongs to the Imperial Master. I will prepare a room for you in the courtyard next door. Do you want to move there?"
Chu Yan thought that the imperial master probably didn't want to see him, so he nodded and agreed.
Chang Zhe had put a lot of thought into it. The yard had been carefully tidied up and even equipped with a study room.
"Yanyan..."
Aunt Chang's voice came, and Chu Yan paused.
She turned around and looked over, only to see the other person's eyes were red, full of surprise.
"This child is finally getting better. I was worried about you to death. Zhe'er has been having trouble eating and sleeping these past few days. This is great."
Aunt Chang hugged Chu Yan's body, but she was afraid of hurting her, so she only dared to use gentle force.
Chu Yan saw that the clothes she was wearing were made of good quality materials, and he roughly guessed that Mrs. Chang was planning to go back with them this time, and he felt relieved in his heart.
"I made you worry."
Chu Yan said softly.
The aunt lowered her head, wiped her tears, and whispered, "Where is it? If it weren't for you, we don't know what it would be like. Your brother Rensheng told me that you were taken away to save him.
You kid..."
"Okay, am I fine now?"
Chu Yan went to see Chang Zhe.
He hurriedly pulled Mrs. Chang away from Chu Yan, "Mom, she just woke up, let her rest first."
"Oh oh oh, look at my memory. Okay, you rest, and I'll prepare something delicious for you."
Aunt Chang quickly turned around and left.
Chu Yan went back to the room, went straight to the bed, lay down without any ceremony and fell asleep.
She slept till night, and Mrs. Chang made some chicken soup to replenish her body.
Chang Zhe is not here.
Chu Yan felt warm all over after drinking the soup, and she was bored, so she thought about walking around.
"Have you heard? Mr. Li should be able to catch him tonight."
"Isn't there no trace of him?"
"I heard that the woman who lives in the Imperial Master's courtyard is his sweetheart. News was released a few days ago that she is terminally ill. I heard that Li Ping will appear in the next two days."
"Is he crazy? How dare you break into the prince's mansion!"
"This is not the only thing he is crazy about. When we almost caught him last time, he scattered money all over the ground. In the end, the officers and soldiers were unable to move forward, so he escaped."
"Their family is very familiar with this area. If he hadn't taken the initiative to show up, where would he have found it? It's impossible for the prince to stay here all his life."
"..."
The boy who was talking walked further and further away, and Chu Yan appeared from the darkness.
She sighed softly, thinking that Chang Zhe's absence today might be because of this incident.
I just don't know where they set the ambush.
"do not move!"
A sudden chill hit his neck, and Chu Yan was stunned for a moment.
The man behind her breathed on the back of her head, but the corner of her mouth turned up into a smile.
"Li Ping?"
"you……"
Chu Yan turned around, a smile appeared on her face, she grabbed his hand and looked around again.
There was a clang.
The dagger fell to the ground.
Li Ping looked at the woman in front of him with an obscure expression.
He looked very haggard, his eyes were misty, his lips were chapped, and he still had the arrogance from before.
"What do you want to do?"
Chu Yan picked up the dagger on the ground, grabbed his wrist, and made a few turns to where she lived.
At this time, the sound of fighting was heard not far away.
Li Ping immediately wanted to rush out, but Chu Yan grabbed his wrist.
"You can't come back if you go!"
She said in a deep voice, "Stay here, I will find a way to send you away tomorrow."
Li Ping was stunned.
He stared at her with shock on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Chu Yan asked, with real doubts in his almond-shaped eyes.
"I will let you go."
She said firmly.
Li Ping suddenly smiled.
He took two steps forward and reached out his hand to touch her face.
It was a fair and delicate face, but it looked like it would break if you applied even the slightest amount of force.
"Yanyan..."
He called out in a hoarse voice.
"You should know that the crime committed by the Li family is collaboration with the enemy and treason. I have nowhere to escape, and I can't hide in this place for the rest of my life. Besides, my father is also here."
"Isn't it good to be alive?"
Chu Yan looked at him seriously. Living should be a good thing.
"It's good to live, but those outside are my brothers, and I can't let them all die for me."
Chu Yan frowned.
It seems that if Ah Qi died for her, she might not be able to live alone.
Only Ah Qi in the world has such treatment, but Ah Qi will never see her again.
Chu Yan let go of his hand, tears glistening in his eyes.
"Are you crying for me?"
The man's voice was low, with a hint of disbelief, and he smiled and said, "Yanyan, I really want to marry you. If these things didn't happen, would you marry me? I know I'm not as good-looking as Chang Zhe, nor is he upright.
, I don’t even have the ability like him, I..."
"I will not marry Chang Zhe, and of course, I will not marry you. If there is an afterlife and I forget all the past, maybe...I mean maybe, you don't have those Yingying Yanyan, and you are really sincere.
I, I will marry you."
But it's impossible in this life.
Li Ping smiled.
"Well, okay! Don't go to the cell to see me..."
He nodded and left.
Li Ping's back became very tall at this moment, but Chu Yan felt as if he saw several of him.
She wanted to save him.
She deceived him and took advantage of his feelings, which was regarded as avenging the family's destruction in her previous life. She wanted to save this life. And when she hid Chang Zhe in the bed curtains that day, he should have known
Yes.
In fact, Li Ping is not a dandy at all, he is even a little smart.
It's a pity that when it comes to relationships, she is just as stupid as she was in her previous life.
well……
The next day, Chu Yan heard from the boy that Li Ping had been arrested.
Chu Yan asked Chang Zhe how Li Ping was arrested, but Chang Zhe didn't tell her.
She didn't ask further questions.
Prince Xiao Tong obtained evidence that the Li family had collaborated with the enemy and treason, and executed dozens of members of the Li family.
I heard that that day was the busiest time in Fengshou Town with huge crowds of people. Even during the Lantern Festival every year, there was no such bustle.
The people all clapped and cheered that a cancerous tumor had finally been eradicated.
But when convicting the Li family, Xiao Tong did not produce the account book. Chu Yan did not want to think deeply about the reason.
That day, she sat near the window of the Bafang Tavern. Because the people were watching the excitement, there was no one in the pub.
