Soon after, they arrived at Ningcaotang, and Ye Yunzi was already waiting at the door. Seeing Shen Feng arrive safely, Ye Yunzi knew that everything was going according to plan.

"Master Shen."

Shen Feng steadied himself and bowed slightly to Ye Yunzi to express his gratitude.

"Thank you Miss Ye for your help."

Ye Yunzi shook her head, indicating that it was not necessary to be polite. She just fulfilled Shen Feng's wish and brought him out of the Shen Mansion safely.

"What are your plans next?" She was worried that if Shen Feng continued to stay in the capital, his whereabouts would be discovered sooner or later.

"I plan to leave the capital tomorrow." Shen Feng has made up his mind that only by staying away from here can he avoid more trouble.

Hearing this, Ye Yunzi was a little surprised, but she also knew that she couldn't change his mind.

"Then you must take care of yourself."

"I want to see the outside world."

Shen Feng said: "Although my health has not been good, this opportunity is rare. I hope I can live for myself in the remaining time. I hope Miss Ye will not stop me."

Ye Yunzi didn't say anything, just nodded slightly and gently.

Shen Feng finally nodded slightly and said, "Then wish me a safe journey."

He showed his first relaxed smile in several days.

The next morning, Shen Feng and Que'er got on the carriage and left. Ye Yunzi stood at the door and watched them silently.

After the carriage gradually went away, she turned to Leng Xue beside her and whispered, "Arrange someone to secretly protect Master Shen, but don't let him find out."

"Understood." After Leng Xue responded briefly, he immediately began to arrange the actions of the brothers of Tieyun Pavilion.

Although Shen Feng repeatedly refused escort, thinking it was unnecessary, considering the possible dangers he might encounter on the road, Ye Yunzi still decided to send someone to protect him secretly.

After dealing with Shen Feng's matter, the next step is to wait for Si Yan's action.

"I wonder what Si Yan will think when he finds out?" Ye Yunzi whispered to herself. She once asked Shen Feng if he wanted to meet Si Yan, but he just shook his head bitterly.

No need to say more, everyone can understand his feelings. Facing Si Yan, Shen Feng felt that he had no idea where to start. This complex emotion made the distance between them grow farther and farther.

The news that the eldest young master was missing quickly spread throughout the Shen Mansion.

The maid who was in charge of taking care of Shen Feng came to deliver breakfast as usual, but no one answered when she knocked on the door.

"Young Master? Young Master?" She called out a few times, but the room remained silent.

With an ominous premonition in her heart, the maid gently pushed open the door and looked around. The room was empty. Her heart sank suddenly, and she immediately looked around the mansion, but there was no sign of the young master anywhere.

The panicked maid quickly reported the situation to Mrs. Shen.

"What did you say? Feng'er is missing?" Mrs. Shen's face turned pale in an instant.

"Yes, madam, when I delivered breakfast, I found that no one was in the room. I searched the entire mansion but couldn't find the eldest young master!" The maid's voice trembled and she almost cried.

Mrs. Shen was breathing rapidly, and the kidnapping incident not long ago flashed through her mind. Her intuition told her: Feng'er must have been in trouble again!

"When did he disappear?" Mrs. Shen asked anxiously.

"My slave doesn't know either."

The maid's voice trembled, and before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Madam Shen's kick. The maid bit her lip, endured it silently, and continued to kneel on the ground.

Mrs. Shen's anger almost swallowed her up. She clenched her hands into fists: "Feng'er, I must find you!"

Her heart was filled with worry and fear. She didn't know who took Feng'er away, but she vowed to bring him back safely.

The news quickly reached Shen Siyan's residence, and his face immediately darkened. Without any hesitation, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Guiguzi saw this and hurriedly called him: "Wait, where are you going?"

Shen Siyan stopped, glanced back, and did not answer.

Guiguzi flinched and avoided his gaze: "Okay, go ahead. If you are discovered, don't expect me to help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Siyan had already walked out the door, leaving Guiguzi alone in the room sighing: "Oh, this is trouble!"

Guiguzi knew that before getting the antidote for the Heartbreak Gu, he had to help Shen Siyan cover up his tracks.

He anxiously searched through the books: "Where did this kid hide the antidote? We must find it as soon as possible!"

For Guiguzi, once he got the antidote, he planned to leave the capital immediately and stay away from these disputes.

Especially for Shen Siyan, who seemed calm but was actually unfathomable, Guiguzi shuddered and decided to speed up the search for the antidote.

When Shen Siyan learned that Shen Feng was missing, the first name that came to his mind was Ye Yunzi.

He believed that no one else would do such a thing except her. So he went straight to Ningcaotang. Ye Yunzi seemed to have had a premonition and was already waiting in Ningcaotang.

Tao Qiming brought her a cup of health tea that he had prepared himself, and said softly, "Please try it. This tea can help calm your mind."

Ye Yunzi tasted it and nodded in praise: "Very good."

"Aren't you going back to the Ye Mansion?" Tao Qiming asked, thinking that since Young Master Shen had already left, Miss Ye didn't need to stay here.

But Ye Yunzi shook her head: "I want to wait for Si Yan." She firmly believed that he would come as soon as possible regarding Shen Feng's matter.

Tao Qiming was puzzled. There was no agreement between them, so why was Miss Ye so sure that Brother Shen would come?

However, looking at Ye Yunzi's determined eyes, he chose to remain silent. Sometimes, the tacit understanding between people is far beyond what words can express.

Just as Tao Qiming was lost in thought, the door slowly opened with a slight creaking sound. He turned around and saw that it was Shen Siyan who walked in.

"Brother Shen?" Tao Qiming called out softly, his heart full of surprise.

Ye Yunzi's words seemed to have come true, which made Tao Qiming admire her insight. The tacit understanding between the two was admirable.

Tao Qiming's gaze involuntarily turned to Ye Yunzi, realizing that only by truly understanding a person can one foresee his actions.

At this time, Shen Siyan looked around and did not see his brother Shen Feng. He frowned slightly and then turned his gaze to Ye Yunzi.

Ye Yunzi nodded slightly and said calmly: "It was I who arranged for Young Master Shen to leave the capital. It was his own decision."

"Left?" Tao Qiming and Shen Siyan asked almost at the same time.

"Yes, he chose to leave," Ye Yunzi added.

Shen Siyan was silent for a moment, his initial anxiety gradually subsided, and he understood his brother's motives.

Shen Feng left to protect him and prevent the Shen Mansion from being destroyed because of him.

Knowing his brother's character well, Shen Siyan understood that his brother would not go along with his wife, but he couldn't bear to see the family decline, so he chose to leave.

"Si Yan."

Ye Yunzi stepped forward and held his hand: "Don't let Master Shen down."

"I understand." Shen Siyan's voice was low but firm.

He knew that every next step was crucial and he couldn't let his emotions influence his judgment.

Ye Yunzi looked at him. She was most worried about him. No matter what the outcome was, Shen Siyan could not stay out of it.
