Chapter 279 Goodbye Hu Ziyan
At this time, in a private room facing the storytelling stage in the teahouse, Chu Ci, Fan Jingrui and his wife, Qian Xue, and Qian Yan were sitting inside. Through the window, they looked awkwardly at the young man who was wantonly attracting people from the audience.
Qian Yan couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law, isn't this a bit too deliberate? It feels like the whole scene has been made a little stiff and unnatural by him."
Chu Ci was actually a little embarrassed, but there was nothing she could do since she had no one to use.
It just so happened that this person was Feng Yan's man, and he was helping for free, so naturally I couldn't ask for too much.
Chu Ci couldn't help but complain in his heart, but he didn't care on the surface, and said calmly: "What does it matter? As long as we can achieve our goal in the end, these small flaws in the process are nothing. Don't worry too much."
Qianxue frowned slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Qian Yan looked helpless and shook his head.
Fan Jingrui took Chu Ci's hand and said softly, "My lady, you haven't seen Hu Ziyan since you came to Beijing, right?"
Chu Ci was confused when she heard this, and her beautiful eyes were full of doubts.
Fan Jingrui rarely saw Chu Ci in such a confused state, and he couldn't help but put on a doting smile on his face, his eyes full of tenderness, and said softly: "Hu Ziyan's identity is more suitable."
Seeing that Chu Ci and his two sisters were still confused and hadn't reacted, Fan Jingrui continued, "Don't underestimate his identity. With his past experiences, he has interacted with people from all walks of life, knows many people, and is very well-informed!"
What Fan Jingrui did not say was that Hu Ziyan's appearance would not attract the attention of those interested.
Chu Ci finally came to her senses, rolled her eyes at Fan Jingrui, frowned slightly, and asked with some doubt: "Hu Ziyan, did you come to our house? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
Fan Jingrui did not answer, but gestured to the outside.
As soon as the gesture was made, there was a "creak" sound, and Hu Ziyan pushed the door open and walked in. "My Lady Princess, aren't you too busy? I heard a long time ago that you two had come to the capital, but I couldn't find you several times."
As he spoke, he bowed.
There was also a woman who came in with Hu Ziyan. Her face was as pale as if she had not seen the sun for a long time. She was thin and had a timid look in her eyes. She followed Hu Ziyan quietly.
Chu Ci smiled slightly and said, "Brother Hu Zi, please don't tease me. I have been very busy these days. Who is this girl?"
Hu Ziyan quickly introduced, "Princess, this is my poor sister." He frowned, his face full of sorrow, "She has never left the courtyard since we returned home. I had to force her out today." At this point, Hu Ziyan became more excited, waving his hands non-stop, and his voice unconsciously rose, "Princess, I have advised her hundreds of times, it is not her fault at all, but she just won't listen!" Hu Ziyan's face flushed, veins popped on his forehead, and he was extremely excited. Hu Ziyan's sister was even more embarrassed at this time, and her head hung even lower. If she was not in front of Chu Ci and the others, I am afraid she would rush forward and cover Hu Ziyan's mouth.
Seeing this, Chu Ci quickly interrupted Hu Ziyan's words. "Did you come here just for this?" There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but his eyes revealed a hint of seriousness.
Qianxue and Qianyan were also very smart and immediately came to Hu Ziyan's sister's left and right.
Qianxue said sweetly: "Sister Hu, let's find a place to talk by ourselves." A friendly smile was on her face.
Qianyan also echoed: "Yes, Sister Hu, let's not get in the way here." As he said that, he prepared to pull Hu Ziyan's sister to the small table nearby.
But no one expected that Hu Ziyan's sister suddenly took a step back and quickly avoided the actions of the two men.
She lowered her head and said in a trembling voice, "Don't touch me, I'm unlucky." She looked as if she was filled with deep inferiority and fear, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
Only then did Chu Ci realize the seriousness of the matter.
She frowned, her inky black eyebrows almost twisted into a knot. With a glance, Qianxue understood what she meant. She flashed and knocked the man unconscious with a clean and sharp knife. Qianyan cooperated tacitly and carefully moved the man aside.
Chu Ci looked solemn, pursed his lips, and asked, "When did your sister start to be in this condition?"
Hu Ziyan was slightly stunned when he heard this, his face full of confusion, his eyes widened and he asked: "My sister is not in a good condition?"
Hu Ziyan knew that Chu Ci was sharp-sighted, and immediately asked nervously: "Princess, what happened to my sister? Please tell me clearly." His eyes were full of anxiety and worry, and he stared at Chu Ci eagerly, as if he was expecting to get an answer from her.
Chu Ci paused and did not answer. Instead, he asked with a serious look, "Did your sister agree to the divorce?"
Hu Ziyan didn't understand the deep meaning of Chu Ci's question, but he didn't hide anything and said truthfully: "Yes, to be honest, a family like us doesn't have a very good reputation."
He sighed, looking helpless, "So, although she was a little hesitant when she divorced, it was also for Yaoyao to have a better future."
At this point, Hu Ziyan's eyes flashed with pity, "Later, I tried to win Yaoyao over to follow us, and she had no objection."
Chu Ci's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he said seriously, "Then let me ask you another question, what is your wife's attitude towards your sister?"
"The problem can't be with them." Hu Ziyan answered decisively with a firm look in his eyes.
But seeing Chu Ci's face full of disbelief, he immediately explained anxiously: "I haven't told you that my wife is the prison warden in the women's prison. She is an upright person and can't stand those dirty things."
"My mother was a good wanderer when she was young. She was very fierce and could not tolerate any injustice. The two of them did not like that man at the beginning. I was the one who wanted to get close to him and wanted my sister to marry him so that he could bring benefits to the family. I didn't expect that it would ruin my sister's life."
As he spoke, Hu Ziyan regretted deeply. His whole face wrinkled up like a crumpled piece of rice paper. His eyes were lifeless, empty and dazed. His lips trembled slightly like a dead leaf shivering in the cold wind. His face was full of pain, as if he was swallowed up by endless regret. He was immersed in deep self-blame, unable to extricate himself.
Chu Ci had no time to sympathize with Hu Ziyan. Instead, he looked serious and stared at Hu Ziyan fiercely, saying in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to regret. Think about it carefully. Apart from your wife and your mother, is there anyone else that your whole family trusts, or who has a lot of contact with your sister?"
Chu Ci's tone was urgent and firm, with unquestionable majesty.
