Yin Cui's eyes widened in disbelief, "Master, what did you say?"
"I said let's pack and go to the south."
"But ……. "
"Isn't it good to leave here?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.
"Okay, okay." Yin Cui also wanted to leave, but Official Shen agreed?
"Go pack." Jiang Yun Zhu ushered.
After Yin Cui went, there was actually nothing to deal with. Everything here belonged to Shen Feng Ming, or was bought with his money. Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to take it.
Jiang Yun Zhu came to the table, took out a piece of letter paper, dipped her brush in ink, and prepared to leave a letter to Shen Feng Ming.
But what to write? She didn’t want to write some words of gratitude, nor do I want to write any sensational words.
In the end, Jiang Yun Zhu only wrote a few words and then took Yin Cui out of the door.
They barely took anything with them, so the servants in the courtyard just thought they went out for something and would come back soon.
In the afternoon, Shen Feng Ming finished some matters and came to the courtyard. He was going to take Jiang Yun Zhu home and meet his father.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the small courtyard, a servant stepped forward to report, "Master, Miss Jiang and Yin Cui have gone out.
Gone out? What a coincidence.
"Where did they go? Did they say when they will be back?" Shen Feng Ming asked with a frown.
"No." The servant replied.
Shen Feng Ming didn't pay much heed and went into the room to sit and wait for them to come back.
However, he saw the piece of paper on the table. There was a line on the paper, "I wish you all the best, don't miss."
Shen Feng Ming stared at that line of words and was stunned for a long time. Even his usually alert brain couldn't react. He could recognize that this was Jiang Yun Zhu’s handwriting. It should be written for him, but what did she mean?
Turning his head, he saw a white jade hairpin on the table nearby. It was the exact one he personally inserted into Jiang Yun Zhu's head that morning.
Suddenly realizing something, he shouted, "Someone come."
Immediately the servants came in respectfully.
"Where did they go? Did anything unusual happen today?" Shen Feng Ming's gazes were like a tsunami on the mountain peaks as he pressured them and he asked in a hoarse voice.
The servants were frightened witless. There was nothing unusual today. Oh right, Yin Cui seemed to have a small bundle in her hand when they left, but that bundle was small. Maybe just enough to hold a set of small clothes. Not even a set of winter clothes. That’s why, they didn't pay attention.
After hearing this, Shen Feng Ming became more and more sure of what he was thinking.
He explored everywhere. Everything in the courtyard seemed to be the same as when he left in the morning. However, when he entered the kitchen, he could smell a faint medicinal smell because he practiced martial arts and his senses were sharper than ordinary people.
Soon, he found a medicine jar that hadn't been washed.
"Fetch someone and find out what this medicine is?" he ordered.
Soon, an old doctor came. He took the medicine jar, smelled it and then picked up some of the contents to examine it carefully. Out of cautious, he took out the medicine crumbs and put them into his mouth. Finally he stated, "These are some contraceptive concoctions for women."
After saying that, he had already knelt down on the ground and was trembling all over. He knew Shen Feng Ming's identity. If this kind of medicine appeared in a wealthy compound, who knew what it would involve. He didn't think he would live long.
Contraceptive medicine! Contraceptive medicine! Judging from the location of the medicine jar, it must be Yin Cui’s doing. She boiled the medicine.
It must be for Jiang Yun Zhu, and it should be Jiang Yun Zhu's intention.
Shen Feng Ming didn't know how he felt now. Didn't she say she liked him? Why did she leave so suddenly and still drink this kind of medicine! It couldn’t be that she lied to him?
As if he had fallen into an icy lake, his whole body was as cold as ice. He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Call someone to come and investigate. Within half an hour, I want to know where they are."
The servant immediately scuttled away like running away.
Shen Feng Ming's bodyguards weren’t any inferior to the Qilin guards. It only took them a quarter of an hour to find out everything and report to Shen Feng Ming.
At this time, Shen Feng Ming was sitting in the room with his eyes downcast. After listening to their reports, he stood up and walked out.
The guards who followed behind didn't dare to take a breath. In the past, although Shen Feng Ming was cold and stern, he was always calm. They had never seen him in a rage. Today, please pray to Buddha for blessing and make sure nothing happens.
In the Haoyuelou in the west of the city, Jiang Yun Zhu and Zhou Qing Ping were sitting across from each other. There were a few side dishes and two bowls of beef noodles on their tables.
Jiang Yun Zhu originally wanted to go out of the city, but she bumped into Zhou Qing Ping on the way.
He greeted her. Learning that she was leaving the capital, he wanted to treat her and insisted that she should come to Haoyuelou.
The kindness was hard to refuse. Jiang Yun Zhu was grateful for his previous help, so she had no choice but to follow him.
The chef of Haoyuelou still remembered Jiang Yun Zhu. When he saw her coming, he came out to thank her and have a small talk. So she got delayed until now.
"After you go this time, when will you come back to the capital?" Zhou Qing Ping asked Jiang Yun Zhu.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't know either, so she could only say, "There may be a chance.”
"Ohy!" Zhou Qing Ping sighed and looked at the sky. It was already getting late.
"Every banquet in the world has an end. It's a pity that we didn't have a chance to have a good chat." Zhou Qing Ping said.
Jiang Yun Zhu smiled apologetically, "It's my fault."
Zhou Qing Ping shook his head. No one was at fault. He picked up the wine glass and said, "With this glass of wine, I wish you a safe journey. I won’t send you."
"Okay." Jiang Yun Zhu picked up the wine glass and drank.
After Shen Feng Ming came to Haoyuelou, he saw this scene: Jiang Yun Zhu drinking and having fun with a man.
It took him a lot of effort to control himself from rushing forward.
He walked toward Jiang Yun Zhu step by step.
There were many people around. When they saw him coming, they were all surprised and confused by his aura. There were even timid ones who already wanted to check out and leave.
The building became much quieter at once.
Jiang Yun Zhu noticed something unusual and looked up to find Shen Feng Ming. The wine glass in her hand almost fell to the ground in shock.
Zhou Qing Ping noticed something was amiss with her and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Turning his head, he also saw Shen Feng Ming.
He was an eighth-rank official in Jingzhao Manor, so of course he knew Shen Feng Ming. Although Shen Feng Ming was no longer the powerful Commander Shen, he was still the child of Academician Shen and Princess Danyang. Besides, who could say for sure what happens in the court? Shen Feng Ming may be restored to his original position one day.
And even if he didn't, given his status, it was not as easy as crushing an ant if he wanted to make it difficult for him.
Especially when Shen Feng Ming was like this, Zhou Qing Ping was so shocked that he lost his voice.
Shen Feng Ming looked at Jiang Yun Zhu and said in a low voice, "I have something to discuss with you."
Jiang Yun Zhu was inexplicably flustered and subconsciously didn't want to be alone with him, so she said, "If you have anything to say, it’s the same to say it here."
Shen Feng Ming's eyes surged like sea water. Was she not even willing to be alone with him now?
He just stared, his face getting colder and colder.
Zhou Qing Ping was watching from the side. He was very afraid of Shen Feng Ming, but he was also afraid that he would hurt Jiang Yun Zhu. So he spoke out, "Gentle, Gentleman Shen, if there’s anything…… "
It was fine if he didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Shen Feng Ming couldn't hold back his anger.
He gazed at him coldly. With just one look, Zhou Qing Ping didn't dare to say anything more.
"Come back with me." Shen Feng Ming grabbed Jiang Yun Zhu's arm and walked out.
"Let go. What are you doing?" Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to follow him and struggled.
The next moment, she was picked up by Shen Feng Ming and carried away.
There was a horse outside. When the guard saw Shen Feng Ming coming out, he immediately brought the horse over.
Shen Feng Ming just hugged Jiang Yun Zhu and mounted the horse without any effort.
Scared to death, Jiang Yun Zhu hugged his neck at once for fear of falling. Even her body was pressed tightly against Shen Feng Ming.
Though his arms were full of warmth, Shen Feng Ming had no charming thoughts. He only thought that she would only think of him when she was in danger? Like when in prison and like now!
Having these thoughts, he urged the horse to go faster.
The horses ran toward the west of the city like a gust of wind.
Slowly, Jiang Yun Zhu calmed down from the shock and she stopped struggling and shouting. All these were useless and made people laugh.
Soon, they arrived in front of the small courtyard. Shen Feng Ming dismounted with Jiang Yun Zhu in his arms, directly headed to the room, and threw her on the bed.
The bed was very soft and Shen Feng Ming had controlled his strength. Jiang Yun Zhu didn't feel any pain. Still, it wasn’t comfortable.
"Are you lying to me?" Shen Feng Ming asked.
Lie to him? Right! Jiang Yun Zhu lowered her head.
With this move, Shen Feng Ming couldn't see her expression. So he stretched out his hand and raised her face.
Jiang Yun Zhu didn't want to look at him and wanted to turn away.
But he didn't allow it. He pinched her chin with his hand and forced her to look at him.
