forced into marriage

Lin Xi left the study and walked all the way to the meditation courtyard, keeping his head down.

Is he really from Tianyin Pavilion? Since he hates Yan Xiangzhi, why did he help him to tie me up?

As he thought about it, he thought about the quarrel with Chu Yu earlier.

Who is Chu Yu, just talking and guessing!He still wants to yell at me!

No... I really want to say that I was in a bad mood first, should I apologize... why!don't go!Why should I go to apologize first, it's his problem, I'm excited, I won't go.

Unless he coaxes him himself, no!It's hard to coax!

When he arrived at the Jingxinyuan, Xiao Ran was making tea for Xie Yuncen, and happened to see Lin Xi, the two of them looked at him, walking back and forth, coming in and out, and making strange movements.

"Young master?"

Xiao Ran yelled, but there was no response. He yelled again, but still didn't respond. He put down the teapot directly, came to Lin Xi's side, and patted him on the shoulder: "Master! What are you doing?"

Only then did Lin Xi react.

"Ah? No, why not." He saw Xie Yuncen packed up and walked towards him.

He sat down, took a look at Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran understood, and then withdrew.

"Master Xie, I have something to ask you."

Xie Yuncen agreed.

Lin Xi thought for a while, whether to ask or not, which one to ask first.

"That is, when did you return to Yan's house?"

Although the question had nothing to do with what he wanted to know, it was impossible for him to ask if he belonged to Tianyin Pavilion as soon as he came.

"A few days ago." He didn't hide anything, and he said the same thing as Yan Qi said. He knew what Lin Xi would ask next, so he answered together, "He thought that my pawn could be useful, so he let me I’m back, but that’s good too, so I won’t have to find other reasons to enter the Yan Mansion.”

Lin Xi looked at him, his eyes resting on him, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like he could kill him: "How can you kill him like this?"

Xie Yuncen smiled slightly: "Whoever says to kill someone must do it himself."

"What do you mean?" Lin Xi was surprised, could he still let him kill himself?

"Although I grew up outside the city since I was young, I still know about things in the capital. The one who hates Yan Xiangzhi as much as I do is the Chu family."

"So, you approached me because you wanted to use Chu Yu to help you kill Yan?" Lin Xi stood up abruptly.

"Yes, but not all." He shook his head for a while and then nodded, seeing that Lin Xi's expression was not right, he immediately explained, "I met you at the time by accident, and I only wanted to be friends with you after getting along with you. Knowing your relationship with King Ning, and you said that I used King Ning, not all, I wanted him to help me, but I wanted to kill Yan Xiangzhi with my own hands."

Listening to his remarks, Lin Xi thought about the scene when he met Xie Yuncen that day, and it seemed that there was nothing unusual.

"Then do you know Tianyin Pavilion?" After Lin Xi stabilized his mood, he sat down slowly. He was not excited yet. When he wanted to swear, although he really didn't like others to cheat, but in order to help Chu Yu, he first Be patient.

"know."

Lin Xi looked at him nervously, waiting for his next sentence.

"I have heard that it seems to be a mysterious organization that uses money to do things, but sometimes, instead of taking money, it makes conditions based on the mood of the pavilion master."

Lin Xi looked at it for a while, but he couldn't see that he was lying at all, and he was very calm.

Money? Conditions? Then how much money was tied to me last time, or what conditions?

Lin Xi immediately shook his head, what was he thinking!It's important!

"Then what conditions are usually mentioned?"

"I don't know about that, after all we can't guess his mood." Xie Yuncen smiled.

He asked back: "What did you suddenly ask Tianyin Pavilion?"

Hearing his question, Lin Xi was a little flustered, and quickly waved his hands to explain: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually, besides, last time I was tied up by them for no reason, otherwise they, my leg would also be tied up." It won't hurt, then Chu Yu can't keep letting me go out."

Xie Yuncen looked down at his legs, then raised his eyes and nodded slightly.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions or doubt him, Lin Xi felt relieved.

Into the night

Everyone has gone back to their rooms and is busy with their own affairs.

A man in black appeared in the meditation courtyard. He looked around and confirmed that there was no one there, so he walked to the room where Xie Yuncen lived.

He looked around again before pushing the door open.

At this time, Xie Yuncen was taking a bath. Hearing the sound, he immediately became vigilant and put on his coat as quickly as possible.

"Master."

He heard this voice, which sounded familiar...Si Yan.

"Wait."

After saying two words, Si Yan quickly turned his back.

After a while, Xie Yuncen came out from behind the screen and went to sit on the soft couch.

"What's the matter?"

"Yan Xiangzhi sent another letter."

Si Yan handed him the letter, but he didn't accept it.

"Undressed."

What? Xie Yuncen randomly found a piece of clothing and handed it to him: "I plan to go and see him in person."

Si Yan took the clothes and went around behind the screen to change.

-

In the Li's Courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xie Yuncen, who was dressed in black and covered his face, appeared on the roof of Li's family.

He fell from the roof to the door of the house, and the lights in the house went out as soon as he landed.

He pushed the door open and entered. The two people in the room were startled by the sound, and they sat up quickly, just as the candle ignited again in an instant, Yan Xiangzhi saw the man in black sitting sideways at the opposite table, picking up the kettle and pouring tea.

"Who are you? Why did you break into the Prime Minister's Mansion!" He hurriedly protected Li Shi behind him.

Mrs. Li looked at the other party and looked familiar with the clothes.

"People from Tianyin Pavilion." Xie Yuncen put down the kettle, picked up the cup, and took a sip.

"Tianyin Pavilion?" Yan Xiangzhi was dubious.

After listening to the other party's voice, Li Shi who was behind him was sure that the other party was the person he was thinking of. He quickly put his arms around Yan Xiangzhi's shoulders, crying slightly: "Master, I'm afraid."

Yan Xiangzhi raised his hand and patted her to indicate that she was fine, but his eyes were fixed on Xie Yuncen.

"It seems that you should have received the letter." He paused, "So why haven't you done anything yet?"

Xie Yuncen tilted his head to look at the two of them, paused for a long time on Li Shi's face, then looked at Yan Xiangzhi, and said with a smile on his lips, "Can you accept my conditions?"

"Are you the owner of the Tianyin Pavilion?"

"Do you want to try?" Xie Yuncen looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Yan Xiangzhi shook his head quickly, he had heard a lot about the strength of the Tianyin Pavilion Master from the outside world, whether it was good or bad, but just in case, it's better to be careful.

"As long as I have it, you can mention it." He said firmly.

He turned around and faced Yan Xiangzhi: "I want your life, will you give it?"

This frightened Yan Xiangzhi, looking at Xie Yuncen with horror in his eyes, he quickly refused: "No! Except this, you can do whatever you want."

Xie Yuncen saw that he disagreed, so he stood up and was about to leave: "The Tianyin Pavilion can't help you, please leave."

Mrs. Li stopped him, and leaned into Yan Xiangzhi's ear: "Master, we can pretend to promise him first, and after he kills Chu Yu, we will give him something better to replace."

Yan Xiangzhi thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"Okay! I promise you! But Chu Yu must disappear within three days!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer within three days."

After speaking, he left.

Yan Xiangzhi stared at the open door in silence, Li called for a long time before he could react.

"Master, what are you thinking?"

"I feel that the person just now has a familiar feeling. I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, but I just can't remember it."

Mrs. Li lay on his shoulders and whispered in his ear: "It must be because you are tired recently that you have hallucinations. No one has seen what he looks like that day. misremembered."

Yan Xiangzhi was provoked by her, turned over with his hands behind his back and pressed her under him.

-

In Xie Yuncen's room in the Jingxinyuan, Si Yan has been waiting for him to come back.

He is back.

"Take care of the wound next time and come to me again." Xie Yuncen returned the changed clothes to Si Yan and gave him a small porcelain bottle at the same time.

He took the clothes, smelled a bloody smell, and then remembered the whip wounds on his back: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

"Forget it, there's no place to hit on your back, so let's avoid it."

Xie Yuncen: "Let all the people outside go back to the cabinet, and they can't come out in the near future, including you."

Si Yan still wanted to speak, but Xie Yuncen interrupted him.

"This is an order!"

"Yes."

next morning

Because Chu Yu was in bed last night, he was not allowed to go out today, so Lin Xi stayed in his courtyard the whole time, chatting with Xie Yuncen.

When Chu Yu went down to the Jingxinyuan, he heard laughter inside before entering the courtyard.

"What are you talking about, so happy?" He walked in quickly.

Seeing him coming, Lin Xi hurriedly greeted him.

Chu Yu came over and sat next to Lin Xi. He smiled at Xie Yuncen and looked at Lin Xi again: "I have something to tell you."

Xie Yuncen stood up: "It turns out that King Ning and Mr. Lin have something to discuss, so I will avoid it for a while." After saying that, he walked back to the room.

Seeing him leave, Lin Xi asked, "What's the matter?"

"I have to leave for a few days, there is something wrong with Jin'an, I need to go and have a look."

"Can't the emperor send someone else to go?"

"Jin'an is under my jurisdiction, so if there is a problem, I must be the one to deal with it."

"Okay." Listening to him, Lin Xi froze.

Chu Yu raised his hand, rubbed his head, and comforted him: "Okay, soon, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

Chu Yu raised his hand, rubbed his head, and comforted him: "Okay, soon, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

"That's what you said!"

Chu Yu smiled and nodded: "Well, I said so."

"You can't go away for half a month like before, or I'll be bored to death."

Chu Yu: "Don't worry, definitely not, I definitely can't miss your coming-of-age ceremony."

"Then have you thought about what to give me? I don't want to be like Ah Qi. If I manage a restaurant, it won't exhaust me."

"What if it is?" Chu Yu decided to tease him, "I have prepared several restaurants, but you don't want them. That's a pity."

Lin Xi immediately regretted it: "I want it! Although I am a little tired, it is good to make money."

What he said made Chu Yu laugh.

"That will disappoint you." He looked into Lin Xi's eyes, "But, you will definitely like that gift."
