Chu Qingyu looked at Feng Yan in a daze, his eyes were almost dumbfounded, and a question appeared in his heart-

Why is Feng Yan here?!

The answer is obvious, it is for Chu Tingshu.

However, Feng Yan didn't fall in love with Duanmufei's little slut with empathy, why did he still help find Chu Qingci's younger brother?

Chu Qingyu took a deep breath, his chest heaved violently, and his thoughts raced.

Yes, for the grandfather.

Grandfather has long known the identity of Feng Yan, and over the years, his grandfather has been secretly helping Feng Yan!

Grandfather and grandmother are obviously kind to Feng Yan, they can obviously fulfill themselves, but they have always looked down on themselves, so they are not willing to fulfill themselves, but for the sake of Chu Tingshu, who should have died a long time ago, they can go and beg Feng Yan!

A thick haze appeared in Chu Qingyu's eyes, and there was hatred, anger, and jealousy...... It's like setting off a stormy wave.

Chu Qingyu's voice was broken and he couldn't speak, so the eldest girl Shuxiang quickly prepared pen and ink on the bookcase on the side.

"Chu Qingyu, you say, where is Brother Shu'er?" Old Lady Chu asked straightforwardly.

The corners of Chu Qingyu's mouth slowly pulled out a sneer, and slowly walked to the bookcase.

She lifted her right sleeve slightly, then dipped her pen in ink, and quickly wrote a line on a blank piece of silk paper: "I have nothing to say unless I agree to my terms." ”

Shuxiang immediately presented the piece of silk paper written by Chu Qingyu to Old Lady Chu.

Chu Qingyu put down the wolf pen in his hand, looked at the old lady Chu with cold eyes, and his expression became even more gloomy.

In order to know Chu Tingshu's whereabouts, her grandfather had been letting the chief steward interrogate and punish her during this time, but she gritted her teeth and didn't say anything, anyway, as long as they didn't find Chu Tingshu for a day, they wouldn't dare to deal with her harshly; Anyway, the Chu family was sorry for her first, she was just trying to protect herself, and she just wanted a way to live.

It's just that my grandfather and grandmother don't miss any blood kinship at all, but my grandfather and grandmother have to drive her to death!!

Chu Qingyu gritted his teeth, picked up the wolf pen again, and wrote on the second piece of silk paper:

"Even if I die, you won't get an answer."

In a few words, the meaning of the threat is obvious.

The second piece of silk paper was immediately sent to Old Lady Chu.

Old lady Chu frowned, his eyes were dark, he did not shy away from Feng Yan, and handed the two pieces of paper written by Chu Qingyu to Feng Yan to read.

Feng Yan casually glanced at the two pieces of silk paper and asked, "Old lady Chu, did you know the news from her mouth?" ”

"Not bad." Old lady Chu bowed slightly, and her eyebrows frowned even tighter.

For more than a month, Chu Qingyu has not been recruited, so he asked the chief steward to interrogate her and test her every day, and he himself talked to her every now and then, and only then did he get some news and learn that Chu Tingshu might be in Sichuanzhou.

However, Chu Qingyu also realized that he had missed his mouth, and then he bit it and refused to reveal another word.

"She won't recruit?" Feng Yan raised his eyebrows and asked lightly.

Old Lady Chu rubbed her eyebrows tiredly.

In the past month, all the tricks that can be tried have been tried, but Chu Qingyu didn't say anything, so he stuck there.

Moreover, deep in the heart of Old Lady Chu, she never fully believed in Chu Qingyu.

There were always two doubts in his heart, did Chu Qingyu really know Brother Shu'er's whereabouts? Could it be that all this is just a mystery for her life......

Feng Yan could also see the doubts in Old Lady Chu's heart, if Old Lady Chu only believed seven or eight points, then Feng Yan believed at least nine points.

He always remembered that three years ago in the Ningjiang Palace, Zhen Zhen had told him that Chu Qingyu might have some unpredictable prophetic abilities.

Duanmu Fei said it, Feng Yan naturally believed it.

Suddenly, another cold evening breeze blew through the window, and the pages began to turn again.

Feng Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the constantly turning pages, his eyes flickering.

As the silence spread, the atmosphere became more and more condensed, and Chu Qingyu's original heart was lowered little by little, and his body relaxed a lot, and his expression became more and more open.

Anyway, as long as they don't find Chu Tingshu for a day, they will be helpless against her!

She looked at the old lady Chu by the window with her chin high, a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were full of self-satisfaction and pleasure, and more hatred.

Hatred for Old Lady Chu!

Feng Yan suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingyu, saw the hatred in her eyes, lifted his eyelashes, and then looked at Old Lady Chu, and said decisively: "Since she refuses to recruit, then hand it over to Dongchang." ”

The boy's casual voice was as cold as water on this autumn night.

"......" The hint of smile on the corner of Chu Qingyu's mouth froze in an instant, his pupils shrank sharply, and his sallow face turned three points whiter.

For anyone, Dongchang is a terrible nightmare, including Chu Qingyu, who has lived for two lives!

She forgot for a moment that she couldn't speak, and instinctively opened her mouth, making the sound like a rough sandpaper.

Feng Yan looked at the old lady Chu as if he hadn't heard of it, and said, "With the means of Dongchang, she has to say it if she doesn't say it." ”

Next, it depends on whether Old Lady Chu can be ruthless.

Chu Qingyu's body trembled like a delicate flower in the wind and rain, and every word of Feng Yan was like a sharp dagger stabbing at her heart, slashing flesh from her heart one by one, and she was in pain.

She was devoted to him, she had done so much for him, but he turned a blind eye, his heart was like a stone, and he trampled her heart on the soles of his feet again and again!

He was so ruthless that he wanted to hand her over to Dongchang?!

He was going to hand her over to Cen Yin?!

Wait a minute!

Chu Qingyu thought of something, she raised her head excitedly, and in a trance, her body hit the bookcase next to her, and the bookcase made a gurgling sound, and the inkstone on the bookcase shook with it, and the thick black ink spilled from the inkstone and sprinkled on the snow-white silk paper, and the wolf pen that was originally resting on the pen table also rolled off the case, and fell to the ground with a "pop", and rolled far away.

Chu Qingyu didn't care, and looked straight at Feng Yan, who was only a little more than a foot away from her.

Feng Yan sat quietly by the window, the silver-white moonlight outside the window and the orange candlelight in the room mixed with him, wrapping him in a halo that seemed to be cold and warm, and the familiar young man in front of him seemed so distant and strange......

A realization that made Chu Qingyu tremble suddenly appeared in her heart.

It turned out that at this time, did Feng Yan and Cen Yin already hook up together?

So......

Chu Qingyu's heart was chaotic, countless possibilities flashed in his heart, and his eyes were dumbfounded.

Old lady Chu looked at Chu Qingyu quietly, her eyes seemed to sigh, and she seemed to be speechless.

His granddaughter, at this point, is still stupid and hopeless.

Old Lady Chu didn't say anything more to Chu Qingyu, and nodded directly at Feng Yan and said, "Ah Yan, you take people away." ”

Meaning, he agreed to hand over Chu Qingyu to Dongchang.

"Ah......" Chu Qingyu was completely panicked, as if the tense heartstrings "collapsed" with Old Lady Chu's words.

She panicked, and she was even more afraid.

What kind of place is the East Factory, for so many years, few people who have been sent to the East Factory have ever come out, and even if they do, they have gone to half a life......

It's just a mere Chu Tingshu, and his grandfather and Feng Yan are about to alarm Cen Yin!

By the means of Cen Yin and Dongchang......

Chu Qingyu's feet were weak for a while, and he almost collapsed.

Feng Yan raised his hand and dusted off the dust that didn't exist at all on his shoulder, got up and said, "Then I'll have someone come over to pick someone up later." "Looks like I'm going to take my leave.

Old lady Chu answered, her eyes showed a little tiredness, and she instructed the chief steward: "You take people down first." ”

"Yes, old lady." The chief steward took orders.

Chu Qingyu was so frightened that he almost lost his soul, and staggered to his knees with a "plop", shaking his head frantically while screaming twice "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

She couldn't speak, she could only say with her mouth: I said! I say!

She walked towards Old Lady Chu in embarrassment, trying to arouse his last trace of pity.

Old Lady Chu's face seemed to be covered with a mask, and she looked at her coldly.

Chu Qingyu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, continued to say two words repeatedly with his mouth, and wrote these two words in mid-air with the index finger of his right hand.

North Sichuan.

These two words are not uncomplicated, and with her mouth shape and fingers, several people present recognized them.

Old Lady Chu didn't speak, and looked at Feng Yan with an inquiring gaze.

Feng Yan's expression did not waver at all, and he repeated calmly: "Old lady Chu, I will ask someone to come and pick up people later." ”

Chu Qingyu seemed to have been struck by lightning, his kneeling body froze on the ground, and his face was bloodless, whiter than white paper.

Is Feng Yan wishing she was going to die?!

She doesn't want to die!

She doesn't want to die yet!

"Ah...... Ah......h

The two rough envoys soon came in, skillfully covered Chu Qingyu's mouth with a ball of cloth, and then set the person up and dragged him out easily.

The scrawny Chu Qingyu's struggles were as weak as babies for people like them who were used to doing rough work on weekdays.

After Chu Qingyu was dragged out, the chief steward also retreated, and the room was quiet again, only the door curtain trembled in mid-air, and the "......" added a bit of coldness and depression to the room.

The footsteps outside faded away until they were parallel.

After a while, Feng Yanqing's voice sounded in the room again: "Old lady Chu, I have a little clue about Ting Shu, but I can't be sure yet...... If I can verify it, I'll tell you right away. ”

Tell Vera. A streamer of light quickly flashed under Feng Yan's eyes.

Old Lady Chu's eyes widened in disbelief, and she stood up suddenly, looking at Feng Yan a few steps away, the complex emotions of shock, anticipation, and panic were overflowing.

His slightly dry mouth opened and closed, wanting to ask, but not daring to ask.

Thinking about it, he also knows that Feng Yan is probably not very sure in his heart, so he will speak vaguely, he is also afraid of giving the Chu family too much hope, but the result is disappointed.

That's fine. After all, Old Lady Chu has experienced so many years of ups and downs, and quickly calmed down, and said to himself, it is not bad for a while......

"Ah Yan." Old Lady Chu's eyes were astringent for a while, and she looked at Feng Yan and said, "Ting Shu's affairs will be handed over to you......" The voice was old and hoarse, no longer calm and wise as usual.

At this moment, he is not the Xuanguo Gong who is admired in the Shilin, he is just an ordinary old man, a grandfather who is worried about his grandchildren.

"Don't worry." Feng Yan looked at him without evasion, his dark and clear eyes were so firm, "Leave this matter to me." ”

Old Lady Chu took two steps closer to Feng Yan, raised her hand and patted the young man's shoulder, which was even taller than him, and there was a little more kindness in his expression.

Unconsciously, Feng Yan changed from a babbling baby to what he is today.

He's grown up and can hold up this world!

Eighteen years have passed, and looking back at the past at this moment, it seems that these eighteen years have passed by in a snap of a finger, but only those of them who are in the bureau know how long and painful these eighteen years are.

"Ah Yan, you go to the southern border to be careful, safety is the most important thing." Old lady Chu patted him on the shoulder and admonished.

"I will." Feng Yan nodded solemnly, took two steps back, and bowed to Old Lady Chu.

After that, Feng Yan left, and only the old lady Chu was left alone in the study, he sat by the window, lost his soul, and didn't even realize when the light by the window was blown out by the evening breeze, just looked through the window in a daze at the back of Feng Yan outside......

The night is thicker, and the night is as cool as water.

Ben Xiao was a little impatient waiting at the door of the Xuanguo Mansion, and when he saw Feng Yan, he snorted.

Feng Yan soothed it with a pine nut candy, and then flew on the horse.

"It's time to go home."

Before the words fell, Ben Xiao galloped out and returned to the princess's mansion on Zhongchen Street with familiarity.

The sound of the gongs on the second watch came from afar, but the surrounding area became more and more silent.

At this time, Anping has already rested.

Feng Yan didn't go to say hello to her, and went back to his house directly.

As soon as he sat down, a dark guard in a black suit appeared outside the window like a ghost, and he didn't enter the house, he directly hugged his fist at Feng Yan outside and said, "Childe, that Xiao Tiangongzi and his companion lived in a cloud guest inn on Holly Street in Jingnan at dusk. ”

After a pause, the dark guard added, "The subordinate asked Mo Qi to stare at the inn. ”

Feng Yan lazily leaned back in his chair, looking at the bright silver moon in the night sky, the silver moon turned into a familiar face, a face he had sketched thousands of times in his heart......

"Let's go down." Feng Yan commanded lightly.

"Yes, Childe." The Dark Guard walked away again.

Feng Yan stared at the silver moon for a moment, and almost whispered, "It's too similar......"

It's so similar......

The young man who called himself Xiao Tian was three or four points similar to Ah Ci, and when he laughed, this resemblance was four or five points.

Is this accidental?

Or is their luck so good?

There are no wonders in the world, and it is not uncommon for people who have nothing to do with each other but look similar, so Feng Yan did not rashly tell Old Lady Chu about this.

If not, it will only disappoint Old Lady Chu and Mrs. Chu, they are old, and over the years, white-haired people have sent black-haired people again and again, and the pain in their hearts can be imagined.

Feng Yan really didn't want the two old men to suffer unnecessary blows, so he should check it out himself first.

There is also Chu Qingyu......

Feng Yan retracted his gaze, his fingers twisted twice thoughtfully, and his eyes drooped in thought.

Looking at the flickering look in Chu Qingyu's eyes, it was obvious that she must have something to hide. Since she didn't want to say it, she could only let Dongchang interrogate.

A blade-like light flashed under Feng Yan's eyes, cold and sharp.

This night, Chu Qingyu was taken away by Dongchang.

No one else knew that the second princess who was "sick" was sent to Dongchang "quietly".

Even Chu Qingyu originally had such a faint glimmer of hope, but the moment she was dragged into the East Factory, it was completely shattered.

Chu Qingyu was panicked and scared, and he didn't even have the strength to struggle, so he was dragged into a dark and cold cell by two Dongchang fans.

The air in the cell was filled with a smell of blood mixed with musty and dampness, which made people smell sick.

Compared to here, the firewood room of the Xuanguo Mansion seems to be nothing.

The people in Dongchang didn't know what pity and cherishing jade was, and with a rude push, Chu Qingyu fell to the ground in embarrassment, letting out a rough scream.

As soon as the two Dongchang fans threw the person away, they turned around and went out, slamming the cell door shut, and the heavy closing sound made the ground seem to shake.

Chu Qingyu looked around in fear.

There was only a dim oil lamp lit in the cell, and all kinds of torture instruments were placed on the walls and corners, such as hammers, bells, clamps, brass hammers, hooks, and nails......

Seeing these blood-stained torture instruments, Chu Qingyu's hairs stood on end, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

It's over, it's all over!

Her life is over!

How so?!

She was obviously favored by God to have the opportunity to return to the world and live again, how could she be reduced to the situation she is in now?!

The memories of the past four years flashed in front of her eyes like a marquee, and she really couldn't figure out what was wrong......

Now she has long stopped expecting anything else, she just wants a way to live, she originally thought that Chu Tingshu's whereabouts could help her save a little bit of the situation, but she didn't expect that it would push her to a deeper hell......

Grandfather was too ruthless.

Feng Yan is too ruthless.

They don't miss blood and family at all, and they don't miss any old feelings.

They were going to kill her......

She...... She doesn't want to die yet!!

Chu Qingyu's delicate body trembled even more, and she kept shrinking back, until she shrank into the corner of the wall, curling up in a ball with nowhere to retreat.

What to do? What should she do?

What chips does she have in her hands?

Chu Qingyu hugged her knees and thought wildly, and she didn't know how long it was, but she heard a sound of footsteps outside the cell.

The footsteps weren't loud, but at this moment, in the dead silence of the cell, the sound seemed to be infinitely amplified, clearer and louder, like a hammer hitting her heart.

With a "bang", the lock of the cell door was opened from the outside, as if black and white impermanence was dragging the soul chain closer, and then there was a "squeak" sound of the door opening.

Chu Qingyu's body trembled even more, and he shouted in horror.

She wanted to say that she was the second princess; She wanted to say, the girl of the Xuanguo Mansion; She wanted to say that she knew a lot of things......

However, she could not shout anything, only the rough and ugly cry.

No matter how hard she screamed, these voices could not be heard outside, and there was silence and serenity outside the cell.

On autumn nights, there is no sound except the sound of the evening breeze stirring the foliage and the sound of the watchman every other hour.

Time passed slowly, and the sky gradually had a hazy light, and the sky was bright again.

A long and tall figure walked out of Dongchang and went to the Anping Eldest Princess's Mansion on Zhongchen Street at dawn.

Cen Yin did not shy away from entering the princess's mansion from the main gate, and was led all the way to the martial arts arena on the northeast side of the princess's mansion.

This martial arts arena and the racecourse are connected, running to the sky on the side of the racecourse to play wildly, Feng Yan practiced martial arts on the martial arts field, punch and kick, the movements are smooth and neat without losing elegance, every punch and every kick brings a little wind, tiger and tiger.

When Cen Yin came to a few rows of weapon racks and sat down, Feng Yan just finished practicing his fists, collected his fists, and took the sweat towel handed by Luo Feng to wipe his sweat.

He was sweating, but his breathing was steady and energetic.

Meeting Cen Yin's dark eyes, Feng Yan didn't need to ask, he knew that he should have gained something last night.

Sure enough—

"Ah Yan, I asked something interesting." Cen Yin said straight to the point.

Luofeng served both of them warm tea.

Feng Yan was thirsty, picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea in one gulp, he didn't speak, and motioned Cen Yin with his eyes to continue.

On the martial arts arena, there was nothing to shade, and the early morning sun sprinkled warmly on the two of them.

Cen Yin played with the teacup in his hand and said in a flat tone: "Chu Qingyu said that she was reborn, Ah Yan, do you believe it?" ”

Feng Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise at first, and a lot flashed in his mind, thinking of Ah Ci's death and Zhen Zhen's rebirth, in comparison, Chu Qingyu's ability to live a life again didn't seem so incredible, so mysterious......

After a brief moment of surprise, Feng Yan calmed down and said, "I believe it." ”

Cen Yin took a slow sip of warm tea, and didn't ask Feng Yan why he believed it, the corners of his lips curled, as if he was interested and thoughtful.

After a few breaths, Cen Yin continued: "I used the punishment last night, but Chu Qingyu still insisted that Chu Tingshu was in northern Sichuan...... This should be the truth, at least what she thinks she is. ”

Because Chu Qingyu concealed it and couldn't tell why she knew this, Cao Qianhu added another sentence last night, and Chu Qingyu recruited more.

She also said that Chu Tingshu died in northern Sichuan in his last life, saying that when the Chu family looked for him two years later, he was already dead, and his body was gone, only a jade lock he had worn since he was a child was found. She was married at the time, and not much was known about the details, so she didn't know why he died. ”

Two years later. Feng Yan narrowed his eyes, and a hint of thoughtfulness flashed under his half-drooping eyes. That is to say, Chu Tingshu will be in northern Sichuan in two years, so what now? Where should he be now?

Feng Yan's mind appeared again with the unilateral laughing young man, his eyes were slightly dark, and his words suddenly changed: "Big brother, do you remember the two people who went back to the capital with Zhen Zhen and them yesterday?" ”

He calls himself Xiao Tian, I don't know if his real name or a fake name, and now he lives in the Cloud Guest House on Dongqing Street in Jingnan. Six days ago, he appeared in the horse market in Fangjian Town, Jizhou with a few people, and his sister and Zhen Zhen went to buy horses and accidentally bumped into ......"

Feng Yan roughly told the story of what happened in the horse market outside Fangjian Town that day, and as he spoke, he took Cen Yin out of the martial arts arena and went in the direction of the outer study.

Cen Yin had also heard about the case being tried by the Criminal Department, and raised his eyebrows slightly, but at this moment, he knew that the young man he met by chance yesterday was the "horse businessman" who was almost hacked at that time.

"Big brother, you send someone to keep an eye on him, and then help me find out his origin," Feng Yan said solemnly, "but don't hurt him, and don't startle the snake......"

Cen Yin only thought that Feng Yan felt that this young man named Xiao Tian appeared a little strangely, so he responded casually.

While talking, the two came to the outside of Feng Yan's study.

Feng Yan opened the curtain casually, as if he had thought of something, stopped again, and said casually: "Big brother, since Chu Qingyu said that she was reborn in a lifetime, there are 'a lot of things', you can 'ask' ......"

Feng Yan turned his head to look at Cen Yin behind him, and smiled meaningfully.

"It's time to ask." Cen Yin also hooked his lips, looked at Feng Yan for a moment, and exchanged a tacit look with each other.

------Off topic------

After putting it in the background, I forgot to set the time, and it's late today.

Is there a commuter pass?

The only one who recognized Ah Ci was also Feng Yan~
