Yan Ruyu doesn't want to go into detail about the grudge between Jiang Xianyu and Cheng Shuyi, but this is the beginning of Cheng Shuyi.

From that time on, he was chosen by Lady Rong to be placed next to Shen Huaixin.

Cheng Shuyi was poor and ambitious enough, and he accepted their love, as well as his initial delusions about Jiang Xianyu, which were all clearly visible in those eyes.

Yan Ruyu did not interrupt Cheng Shuyi and allowed him to continue.

"I took this path and could never look back. I could only listen to them. At first, I just thought that I would be a counselor beside Shen Huaixin. One day, I would embark on an official career, even if I suffered a few years of grievances, it would not count. What, it’s better than sitting on the bench.”

"But as time went by, I learned more and more about Jiang Xianyu, and later I also found out that she had a master above her, Lady Rong, who turned out to be Lady Rong from Furong Pavilion!"

"I was completely shocked. What kind of place is Furong Pavilion? It's a brothel, a brothel! I am a scholar, but I am led by an old madam and want to call her my master!"

"I can't accept it, but I have no other choice. I have to take medicine every now and then. The medicine is all in Madam Rong's hands. She holds my life."

Cheng Shuyi's voice was filled with hatred: "That woman is a devil. She divided the women in the brothel into different levels. She also cooperated with a few idle gamblers, and even scoundrels who couldn't afford the prostitutes. She let them go around to abduct women with good conditions. Just train them secretly and keep them in Furong Pavilion. Don’t waste the bad ones and sell them to places like dance studios or prostitutes. There is also one kind, if the skin is good and delicate, take it to the manor. "

Cheng Shuyi lowered his head, and Yan Ruyu couldn't see his eyes: "Those women met a miserable end, being... They have pharmacists who can make various medicines by themselves. They can poison people and make them worse than death, and they can also detoxify and save people's lives."

"But they are all demons, demons who don't treat people as humans!"

Cheng Shuyi clasped his hands slightly: "I used to be a good family, but it was because of their calculations that I ended up like this. They all deserve to die!"

"Where's Mr. Mo? Have you seen him?" Yan Ruyu didn't want to listen to him venting his emotions anymore, so she raised a topic.

"That man? I've seen him before," Cheng Shuyi said.

Yan Ruyu held her heart and smiled slightly: "What does he look like?"

"She is very thin, and one of her hands seems to be in bad condition. She often wears a black robe, her face is very pale, and she wears a half-mask. Her eyes are very cold, as if there is no warmth at all."

Yan Ruyu took out a pen and paper: "Tell me in detail."

Cheng Shuyi was about to say something when Yan Ruyu said, "You'd better tell the truth. Don't try to deceive me. Last time I saw him, there was another person beside him. I'm not sure which one it was. If what you said doesn't match what I've seen, , that’s lying.”

Cheng Shuyi said quickly: "I don't dare to lie, but I did only see half of his face, so I can't be sure of the accuracy."

"It doesn't matter, just tell the truth and I will judge."

As Cheng Shuyi talked, Yan Ruyu drew and revised, and finally got a portrait.

This is the first time Yan Ruyu has seen his face since she and Mr. Mo had secretly clashed several times - even though it only had the lower half and a pair of incomplete eyes.

At the Furong Pavilion, Cheng Shuyi was taken away. Yan Ruyu felt that he could still be used. Fortunately, he was saved at the critical moment. Although he was injured, at least he was still alive and could speak.

Yan Ruyu put the painting away as if nothing had happened: "Tell me, what else do you know about them?"

Cheng Shuyi thought for a while: "Mrs. Rong is very special to Mr. Mo. She is neither a master nor a father and brother, but... respect but also attachment. As soon as Mr. Mo appears, it seems that there is nothing but Mo in her eyes." There is nothing left, sir.”

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly, thinking that she was indeed a scholar and quite good at describing.

"Other than that? What do you know about Mr. Mo's other subordinates and businesses?"

"This...I don't know. Even that aspect is a coincidence. I am also a candidate. No one asked me to go at the last minute, and I am not qualified to get too close."

"Ms. Rong, what kind of business do you have?"

"What I know is Wanzhaixing, it seems... there is a winery," Cheng Shuyi seemed to suddenly remember, "Yes, it is a winery. I overheard that Jiang Xianyu said that the business of the winery is not very good. , It shouldn’t be bad, I suspect that the accountant made false accounts.”

Winery, Yan Ruyu secretly calculated, among the businesses he found, there really was no winery.

It seems that we need to check again.

"What's the relationship between that big customer and Lady Rong?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"The identity of the chief patron is very mysterious. I have never seen his face. I only know that he is tall and has good skills. He has a sword called Zhelong."

Huo Changhe's thoughts moved slightly, and it was exactly as he expected.

There really is a dragon-breaking sword in the world.

"His relationship with Lady Rong... I'm not very clear about it, but Jiang Xianyu is very polite to him and really respects him, but the big customer doesn't seem to take her seriously, and his residence is different from others. Likewise, as for the women who entertain him every time, they are not from the manor."

Yan Ruyu was surprised that this person was really special in everything.

"Where is that from?"

"They were brought from outside," Cheng Shuyi said, "I saw them once, and those women were all..."

Yan Ruyu looked at him, and his eyes averted: "They are all fresh and unexperienced."

Yan Ruyu understood.

Big patrons, don’t want fake beauties with fake faces, what you want is real and delicate ones.

She frowned slightly and thought about this person's identity. She was in a daze and didn't realize that Cheng Shuyi's eyes stayed on her for too long.

Huo Changhe's voice sounded like ice beads: "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Shuyi quickly lowered his head: "My lord, please forgive me. I really didn't mean to do it. I just felt that..."

Yan Ruyu came back to her senses, held Huo Changhe's finger, and said in a calm voice, "What do you think?"

"I dare not say."

"Tell it like it is."

Cheng Shuyi pursed his lips hard and said slowly: "I just feel that the frowning look on the princess's face just now is somewhat similar to the woman I accidentally saw when they gave it to a big customer..."

Huo Changhe was furious and was about to scold him when Yan Ruyu silently comforted him.

"Is what you say true?"

"Don't dare to deceive the princess."

"What else do you know about the big patron?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Cheng Shuyi thought seriously for a moment: "No more."

Yan Ruyu took a step forward: "Cheng Shuyi, Jiang Xianyu is dead, Lady Rong is only breathing, Furong Pavilion is gone, and the manor is destroyed."

Cheng Shuyi's eyes suddenly widened. Ever since he was rescued that night, he had been in coma for a long time after he came here. When he woke up, he was heartbroken. No one told him what was going on outside, and he didn't know anything about it.

So much happened?

Except for Jiang Xianyu's death, everything else was beyond his expectation and shocked him enough.

"What about you? Do you want to live?"
