Rebellious Contract Beast

Because they were now in Wan Gaoyue's territory, He Jianchuyun had no time to think about it.

Of course she would not accept the pair of gold hairpins, so she refused them in every possible way so that Wan Gaoyue would not have to worry so much.

However, Wan Gaoyue was determined and insisted that she accept it. The two sides were just like giving each other gifts during the Chinese New Year. If you didn't know, you would think that He Jianchu Yun and Wan Gaoyue had a very good relationship.

In the end, He Jian Chu Yun still couldn't resist Wan Gaoyue's enthusiasm and had no choice but to accept the golden hairpin.

After coming out of Qingshuisongyuan and returning to Mingyanyuan, Hejian Chuyun was completely confused and couldn't understand what Wan Gaoyue meant by making such a fuss.

However, Shen Yi liked the hairpin she gave him very much. He took the hairpin and asked, "Do you still want it?"

He Jian Chuyun didn't bother to pay attention to him. She knew very well that even if she asked for it, Shen Yi would not return it to her.

Anyway, it will all belong to Shen Yi in the end, so why bother?
Seeing that she didn't answer, Shen Yi assumed that she didn't want it, so he put the hairpin in his mouth and bit it twice. Seeing the marks left by his teeth on it, Shen Yi nodded with satisfaction, feeling happy.

"Hey! It's real gold! Your aunt is really generous!"

"She's not my aunt! Asshole!"

"Why do you care so much? Wouldn't it be good to have another aunt?" Shen Yi laughed, took off the ruby ​​on the hairpin, and threw it to He Jianchuyun.

"This thing looks valuable, keep it for yourself."

"You ruined such a good hairpin!"

"Since you don't want it anyway, why not let me melt it." Shen Yi said indifferently, then crumpled the hairpin into a ball and threw it into the storage space.

To be honest, I haven't had any income from gold for a long time, and this pair of gold hairpins is the first time I have had any in the past two months.

Suddenly remembering something, Shen Yi quickly looked at He Jian Chu Yun again and asked, "Hey, old witch!"

"how?"

"Have you asked someone to check the identity of the assassin yesterday?"

"I've asked Zhu Hong to go find Yang Bayuan. I'll tell you when he finds something."

"Well, if Yang Bayuan can't find anything, I'll let the Tiger Gang investigate."

"Uh-huh."

Anyway, there was nothing to do later, so Shen Yi could only relax for the time being and go into the house to take a nap. However, before he fell asleep, Wu Bi Xiqing came over and shouted to He Jian Chuyun: "Miss, there is someone outside the door looking for you."

"Who is it? Is it Yang Bayuan?"

Xi Qing shook her head: "No, I don't know that person. Judging from his clothes, he seems to be a young master of the Zhu family."

"Hmm?" The first person He Jianchuyun thought of was Zhu Yanhan, but when she thought about it carefully, it didn't make sense. Xiqing had met Zhu Yanhan before, and if it was Zhu Yanhan, she wouldn't say that.

"Take me over there and have a look."

"Okay lady."

After looking at Shen Yi, He Jianchuyun quickly took Xiqing out of the house. Shen Yi couldn't sleep again, so he followed them quickly.

When they arrived at the front yard of Mingyan Courtyard, Shen Yi and He Jianchuyun finally saw who the visitor was.

It was indeed not Zhu Yanhan, but the young man seen in Wan Gaoyue’s residence before. During Zhu Jianqing’s birthday party, this guy even gave a special speech to Zhu Jianqing. His name seemed to be Zhu Yantao.

Seeing this person, Tsurumi Hatsuyun seemed to have some clues about what she hadn't figured out at first, so her face quickly darkened. She walked to the door and asked the other person, "Who are you?"

"My name is Zhu Yantao, do you recognize me?"

"I don't know you, what do you want?"

"I...I..." After stuttering for a long time, Zhu Yantao finally mustered up the courage to speak out with a red face: "Chu Yun, to be honest, I have admired you for a long time, ever since you..."

But before he could finish his words, the door slammed shut with a bang, as Tsurumi Hatsuyun used his spiritual power.

"Miss, I didn't mean it. I didn't know he was coming..." Seeing her young lady's eyes on her, Xi Qing quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Get up. If someone like this comes to me again in the future, kick him out. Don't let them bother me!"

"I understand miss."

"Let's go back."

Xi Qing followed her back to the backyard, and outside the door, Zhu Yantao shouted anxiously: "Wait! Why is the door closed! Take this first, it's a love letter I wrote! Chuyun, take a look!"

As he spoke, a letter floated in. Shen Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he picked it up and took a look at it.

The small words on the red paper tell all the stories of my life.

This situation can be eliminated, only to brow, but to the heart.

It can be seen that there are thousands of rivers and hundreds of mountains that are endless to see, and the rivers flow eastward without stopping.

My thoughts are like this, they never stop day and night and have no end.

My love for the girl is as deep as the ocean and as solid as the mountains.

The girl's every frown and smile is like a spring flower, blooming in the garden of my heart, making my heart like spring all year round.

I wish to turn into a breeze, brushing across the girl's cheek, bringing my greetings; I also wish to turn into a pool of love, nourishing the girl's heart, bringing my love.

... (The hundred words are omitted here.)
Ending: I wish your heart is like mine, and I will never let you down.

"Hey, that's pretty talented."

After reading the contents, Shen Yi couldn't help but sigh. In fact, this was the first love letter that the old witch received in Zhu Mansion. She had received some before. If you count carefully, there were probably more than ten of them. However, they were all secretly thrown in from outside in the middle of the night. No one knew who wrote them. They were all anonymous. Zhu Yantao was the first one to come in person to deliver a love letter and express his love.

The old witch read it the first time, but only took a glance and threw it into the stove. She was too lazy to even read the subsequent love letters. If anyone threw one in, she would definitely burn it as firewood. She did the same thing when she was in Qingyuan Sect.

Shen Yi was also the first person to peek at a love letter written by someone else. It was quite exciting, really.

"Tsk tsk, why are you going through so much trouble? She's my maid, how could you possibly take her away from her? Really..."

"Chu Yun! Chu Yun! Take a look! I have really liked you for a long time!"

"Master, let's go."

"Yes, Master, if Miss Chu Yun doesn't appreciate it, we will inevitably be laughed at here. Can we go back first?"

"Get out of here! Leave me alone! Chu Yun! Are you still in there?"

"..."

Outside the door, Zhu Yantao did not leave and was still calling out to He Jian Chuyun over and over again. The guards' voices of dissuasion could also be heard faintly.

Shen Yi complained in his heart and was about to throw the love letter away, but when he heard Zhu Yantao's shouting outside, his eyes rolled, and he didn't know what he thought of, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He came up with a brilliant idea.

I finally caught an old witch's bootlicker, how could I not take advantage of him?
When pursuing a girl, you have to be practical. How can a love letter move her?
After thinking about it, Shen Yi did not throw away the love letter, but put it into his storage space.

After Xiqing left, he found Hejian Chuyun again and said to her, "Old witch, I suddenly thought of an important matter. I need to go to the Shen Mansion. Please take me there quickly." "What is it?"

"Don't worry about it. It will be over in a moment. Go and call the carriage."

He Jianchuyun looked at him suspiciously. Although Shen Yi pretended to be very convincing, he spoke too easily, which made people suspicious.

But thinking that she had nothing to do, she nodded and agreed, and asked Zhinuan to go out and call a coachman.

……

It didn't take too long to get to the Shen Mansion. In the carriage, He Jian Chu Yun asked Shen Yi, "How long will it take you?"

"I've already told you, it'll only take a moment. If I don't explain it clearly to Wu Gong and the others, I'm afraid we'll be in big trouble."

"Okay then, hurry up, I'll wait for you outside."

"Yeah." Without chatting with the old witch for too long, Shen Yi climbed over the wall with ease and entered the secret passage.

After opening the secret compartment and coming out from the other side, the first thing he saw was Wu Gong, Duan Huai and Zhang Wenyuan in the room. The three of them were sitting around the table, playing cards to kill time. When they heard the noise coming from the secret compartment, Wu Gong quickly looked over.

"Who! Xuan Li?"

"Well, that's me."

"Why are you here suddenly?"

"Nothing, I just need you to help me with something."

"What's the matter?" Zhang Wenyuan asked puzzledly.

Shen Yi smiled and mysteriously took out the love letter from the storage space.

"what is this?"

"A love letter from someone else to the old witch."

"What!" The three looked at each other. It was not surprising that someone sent a love letter to He Jian Chuyun. The main reason was that they really couldn't figure out what the connection was between this and Shen Yi's visit to them.

"Xuan Li, just tell us you have something to talk to us about."

"Okay, okay, I'll be frank. I just want to get gold."

"gold!"

Speaking of gold, Wu Gong was very familiar with it, so his eyes lit up when he heard these two words from Shen Yi's mouth.

"What's wrong with you? Is it related to this love letter?"

"Of course there is, but don't let your imagination run wild. I'm going to let you work for nothing. This idea is my own. If you want to do it, you can figure it out on your own."

"Xuan Li, this is meaningless!"

"Come on, there's so much money in the Tiger Gang's treasury, why don't you check who gave it to you?"

"Strange, since you already have so much silver, what do you need gold for?"

“I just like gold.”

"You like gold? When did it happen?" Wu Gong asked curiously. Based on his understanding of Shen Yi, this contracted beast didn't seem to be particularly fond of gold.

However, Shen Yi did not give a precise answer to this, but said impatiently: "Alright, alright, I just want to ask you one question, will you help me with this?"

"I am willing to help, but how?"

"That's good. First of all, this love letter is sent by a man named Zhu Yantao. How about you guys take a look at it?" Shen Yi said as he handed over the love letter.

"Come and show me first."

Duan Huai was the first to receive the love letter and opened it without saying a word. But after just a few seconds, he heard him curse, "It's so fucking corny."

Then he casually handed the love letter to Wu Gong. After reading it, Wu Gong and Zhang Wenyuan had basically the same reactions as Duan Huai.

"Then what? Keep talking."

"From the looks of him, it seems that he really likes the old witch, so I want to squeeze some money out of him and get some gold."

"Tell me carefully."

"That's it..." Shen Yi chattered on and on, recounting his plan. In fact, to put it bluntly, this plan was to let Wu Gong and others meet Zhu Yantao on behalf of He Jian Chuyun, and let him pay some gold or something for this love, and then kick him away after all the value in him was squeezed out.

After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, and finally Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help but said, "You are too mean! Can't you at least leave some pants for him to wear?"

"Where is it damaged? Isn't this normal? How can you trick someone away with just a love letter? How can it be that easy?"

"I have no objection. They should be given a taste of pain."

"Whatever. Anyway, it's not me that Xuan Li is cheating. But Xuan Li, does the little girl know about this?"

"What will she do if she knows about this? Don't worry about it."

"Okay then. I'll let Duan Huai go meet Zhu Yantao later."

"That's it!"

Shen Yi chuckled, seeming a little impatient.

By doing this, the old witch indirectly became a gold digger to deceive Zhu Yantao. Shen Yi had to admit that this was not a very fair thing to do.

But based on the principle of not offending others if they don't offend me, and offending them first if they offend me, Shen Yi has his own reasons for doing so.

First, let’s talk about Zhu Yantao’s background. He belongs to the lineage of the second elder of the Zhu family and is the grandfather and grandson of the second elder of the Zhu family. His mother died early and was a concubine. She gave birth to two children in total. Zhu Yantao is the younger one. He has a brother older than him, who is none other than Zhu Yanzheng.

Perhaps because Zhu Yanzheng was talented, Mrs. Peng took good care of him when he was very young, and the relationship between the two sides was very close. This is why Zhu Hong said that Zhu Yanzheng was from the second wife's house.

But now that Zhu Yanzheng has grown up, he seems to be deliberately distancing himself from the Peng family.

Among all the young masters and young ladies in the Zhu family, Zhu Yantao's presence may not be that strong, but fortunately he has a brother like Zhu Yanzheng, so his life in the Zhu Mansion is quite comfortable. Once he is wronged, Zhu Yanzheng will definitely be the first to stand up for him.

Finally, the key point is that when the old witch went to see Wan Gaoyue, Zhu Yantao was also present. He didn't say anything during the whole process, but just stared at the old witch. So the question is, why did Wan Gaoyue invite Zhu Yantao into her house?

Shen Yi and He Jian Chuyun are not clear about what Wan Gaoyue is trying to do, but Shen Yi will never be naive to think that Wan Gaoyue wants to ease the relationship with the old witch. With the support of the Wan family and Wan Chen, a son-in-law of the Lin family, she has no reason to bow her head.

No matter what evil tricks she had planned, the focus was most likely on Zhu Yantao. In this case, it would be better for her to strike first. Even if she was one step behind in the end, she would only make a small loss. If she happened to destroy Wan Gaoyue's plan, she would make a huge profit.

As for whether Zhu Yantao is innocent or not, Shen Yi has no right to care. Many things involve sacrifices. He should protect himself first. He can't just wait to be cheated by others just because Zhu Yantao might be innocent, right?
"Xuan Li, do you know how to play cards?"

"I can't play your Four Seasons card game. By the way, what's the situation with the Pillow Blade Society now?"
