Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

If he heard other women say this, he would believe it, but the person in front of him was Yan Ci.

Xie Chengyin showed a teasing smile. He could not deny Yan Ci's behavior of hiding his shortcomings, but he did not expose it immediately.

Perhaps other women in the inner palace really knew nothing about running a shop, but Yan Ci definitely did. A simple act of changing her name made the shop earn a lot of money, which showed that she was talented.

Just as Qiu Yuzhu admired her, if he could recruit her to Songyaji, Songyaji would surely make a fortune.

Having tasted the sweetness of being rich, Xie Chengyin has become addicted to making money.

But since the other party was unwilling, he couldn't force her. He could only think of a solution secretly and proceed step by step.

"Since Miss Thirteen is unwilling, I will not force her. Whenever Miss Thirteen is willing, you can come to Song Ya Ji to find me at any time. Song Ya Ji and I will always welcome Miss Thirteen."

Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin with a meaningful smile and suddenly remembered that he was being followed.

Then he questioned Xie Chengyin, "Why did you send someone to follow me?"

Xie Chengyin was stunned by what he said, "I didn't send anyone to follow you. Wait, you said someone followed you, are you injured?"

Yan Ci was a little stunned by Xie Chengyin's sudden concern, and he couldn't tell whether his words were true or false.

Yan Ci thought about it carefully. The man started following her as soon as she went out, and she went out because she received an invitation from Xie Chengyin. Judging from the connection between the two, Xie Chengyin was a huge suspect.

But Xie Chengyin's answer was so frank that she couldn't find any flaws.

Having experienced a tragic death in her previous life, she did not dare to trust someone easily, even though this person had helped her before.

But, it is better to be safe than sorry. Xie Chengyin always appears beside her inexplicably, and she does not think this is a coincidence.

But now she couldn't guess who wanted to harm her, so she could only look at everyone with suspicion and be wary of them.

She went over in her mind the people around her.

She had not come into contact with many people since her rebirth, basically just within the Yan Mansion, and could be counted on one hand. If one were to find someone who had a conflict with her among these people, the first person to come to mind would be Yan Ru.

But since Yan Ru and Han Liang got engaged, she has rarely seen her. She heard from Chunzhi that Yan Ru stayed in her Xiezhuyuan every day, learning various etiquette and preparing for the marriage.

Yan Ru can be completely ruled out.

If Yan Ru is ruled out, Aunt Zhao can also be ruled out. After all, she is no longer an obstacle for them to marry into the Han Mansion, so there is no need to deal with her.

Next are Yan Wu and Yan Yu. The two of them, together with Yan Ru, have plotted against Yan Ci. They are busy avoiding Yan Ci, so how could they take the initiative to provoke him?

But they knew Yan Ci's character. He seemed pitiful in front of them, but domineering behind their backs.

There is even less need for the concubines in the Yan Mansion to deal with Yan Ci. It is Jiang Qingqing who pleases Yan Tonglin, not Yan Ci. Dealing with Yan Ci is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

Maybe without Yan Ci, Jiang Qingqing could give birth to a biological daughter of the master. The concubines are not stupid, they would not do such a stupid thing.

Not only will they not deal with Yan Ci, they will also hope that Yan Ci will be fine, so as to annoy Yan Tonglin and make him stay away from Jiang Qingqing.

Little did people know that even Yan Tonglin didn't know that Yan Ci was Yan Tonglin's biological daughter.

Apart from the people from the Yan Mansion, the only ones left were Xie Chengyin and Han Liang. Xie Chengyin had already suspected him, but as for Han Liang, they had no more contact with each other.

After Yan Ci left Songyaji, Xie Chengyin ordered Qicun to investigate the incident of Yan Ci being followed.

According to Yan Ci, he was being followed since he left the house, so that person must be lurking around the Yan Mansion.

But Qi Cun watched outside the Yan Mansion for three days and didn't see any ghost.

Although Qi Cun did not find the person who was following him, he found the person who saved Yan Ci.

"Hua Cishu, you said it was Hua Cishu who saved Yan Shisan?"

Xie Chengyin was a little bit unbelievable. Hua Cishu was a cold-hearted person. He acted like a human being except when facing his sister Hua Cijing. Otherwise he was like an icicle.

He is serious, stern, and extremely particular.

He didn't like his cold and serious personality, so he didn't interact with him much.

But when he was reborn, he knew the tragic end of the General Zhenguo Mansion, where the bows were put away after the birds were killed and the dogs were cooked after the rabbits were dead, which was very similar to their Yongding Marquis Mansion.

He felt the same way, so while he wanted to change the fate of the Yongding Marquis' Mansion, he also wanted to lend a hand to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Qicun reported what he found truthfully.

"That day, General Hua went to the mausoleum to mourn the Princess of Xiang. On his way back, he passed by that alley and met Miss Yan and the villain. He must have thought of the Princess of Xiang, so he rescued Miss Yan."

Xie Chengyin listened and thought that Hua Cishu might have seen the villain's true face, so he decided to go to the General's Mansion in person to ask Hua Cishu about the situation.

Xie Chengyin had always intended to make friends with Hua Cishu, but apart from a visit to the general's mansion on the day of Princess Xiang's funeral, he never had another chance to go there.

Now, by using the excuse of tracking down the criminals, I can get closer to Hua Cishu.

Ever since Hua Cijing passed away on the day of her wedding, the gate of the general's mansion has been kept closed. Hua Yingchou and his son voluntarily handed over their military power and have been idle at home for half a year.

Xie Chengyin rode his horse to the gate of the general's mansion, dismounted swiftly, and went to knock on the door.

A little boy opened a small gap from inside and looked outside, and saw a tall and handsome man.

The little boy was a little shy and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"

Xie Chengyin smiled before he spoke, raised his hand and pushed the door open a little wider, revealing half of the child's head.

"I'm looking for the flower-resigning tree."

"Looking for the young master. Wait a minute, I'll go get him."

After saying that, the little boy turned around and ran inside without closing the door.

Xie Chengyin thought that it was a good thing that he was not a bad person, otherwise it would be strange if this gatekeeper boy could guard the door.

But since the door is open and he is not a bad person, just go in and wait.

He pushed the door open and walked in, then turned around and closed the door considerately.

The little boy trotted all the way to Rongjin Garden and saw Hua Cishu holding his Jinghong Sword and wiping it.

"Master, Master, someone is looking for you."

The little boy Dongsheng kept running and shouting until he reached the Huaci tree and stopped shouting.

Hua Cishu put the sword back into the scabbard and asked Dongsheng, "Who is it?"

Dongsheng scratched his short-haired head and said, "I forgot to ask."

Hua Cishu rubbed Dongsheng's little head and said, "Do you remember what it looks like?"

Dongsheng rolled his eyes and grinned, "He's a tall and thin guy, and he's pretty good-looking."

Children have simple minds. In their minds, people are divided into two categories, good-looking and ugly. Good-looking people are good people, and ugly people are bad people.

Hua Cishu smiled gently and said, "Take me to have a look."

After saying that, Hua Cishu stood up and led Dongsheng to the gate.

When the two men walked to the gate, they saw only a closed gate but no one in sight.

"Huh? What about people?"

Dongsheng looked around for a long time, and asked doubtfully, "Did he leave on his own?"

Hua Ci Shu didn't see any trace of anyone, so he thought to himself that if someone left, they would leave. He turned around and went back to Rong Jin Garden.
