He carefully put a newly bought white coat on Lin Ruofan beside him, and then gently pulled it up to cover the needle hole on her neck.
"Don't worry, little girl. Your sister will be here soon."
Wen Qi said softly, with a soothing tone in his voice.
Then he turned his head and looked towards the gate of Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion, where the servants were warmly greeting every guest who entered.
The two of them waited here for nearly an hour and a half, during which time Lin Ruofan stayed obediently by Wen Qi's side.
As night falls, nearby shops hang up lanterns one after another.
The soft and bright candlelight reflected into Lin Ruofan's lifeless eyes, making her look more lively.
Although Lin Ruofan was already half a walking corpse at this moment, fortunately he still looked normal.
Wen Qi stood up and changed her a pot of hot tea. Just as he left, the receptionist in Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion shouted loudly to the guests waiting outside the door.
"The Oiran Zhe Ye will perform her last dance tonight!"
"What? It's only been a short time since the last time an oiran got married, and she's not coming out anymore?"
"My dear guests, things are different now. Our courtesan is now the head shopkeeper of our Jinghua Shuiyue Pavilion!"
"What a pity! Last time I got married, I didn't bring enough money, and a yellow-haired girl snatched my chance away from me!"
"By the way, do you remember who was the girl who took the photo of the oiran?"
After the noisy cheers and sighs, Lin Ruofan suddenly moved and leaned forward slightly.
Now the only sound in her ears was the ringing of the urn, which almost covered up all the noise from the outside world, but she was very sure that she heard the man's name.
Perhaps because his obsession with the young man was too strong, Lin Ruofan actually took action on his own and headed straight for the gate.
When Wen Qi came back, he only saw Lin Ruofan's white figure disappearing into the gate.
"Oh no!" Wen Qi suddenly threw the teapot on the table and quickly chased after him.
When Lin Ruojin took over the psychic mirror, Wen Qi put away his solemn expression and turned the mirror around to face the surrounding scenes, "We are already in."
"Why didn't you wait for me?" she asked, frowning.
"Your sister suddenly lost control and broke into the mirror flower water moon when I was not paying attention."
Lin Ruojin: "...Has the courtesan Zhe Ye found out?"
Wen Qi nodded and said, "It seems that this is also a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are. As soon as your sister entered the gate, she was recognized and brought here."
Lin Ruojin nodded in understanding. After putting down the psychic mirror, she quickly went to a clothing store and bought a black cloak to put on.
In a luxuriously decorated room, Yun Zheng reported to Zhe Ye the news of the death of wealthy businessman Wen Liandu today.
In the corner of the room, a red flame bead placed on a bronze crane-shaped lampstand was releasing hot air, filling the entire room with a warm atmosphere.
"Ha~"
"Death, so fast!"
He was lying on the couch, with soft snow leopard fur beneath him and only a thin white inner garment on his body.
"I thought that guy could hold out for a few more days."
He was in a very happy mood, and even mocked Wen Liandu, the cowardly "bad guy".
"One more thing, that person is back, do you want to meet him?"
"Who is it? You want to see me again?" Zhe Ye looked at the flickering flame of the candle on the lampstand and asked casually, "Could it be that woman came back to bother me again?"
Yun was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Zhe Ye could guess it right away.
"No way, is it really her?"
"Yes."
Zhe Ye sat up straight without leaving any trace and asked softly, "Where is she?"
"In the guest room, with an old man, you have one last dance tonight. If you don't want to see her, I will..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun saw the boy who had been so casual just now slowly get off the couch, quickly walk to the closet and carefully pick out clothes.
"What are you doing?"
Zhe Ye turned around and smiled, "You don't think I want to see her, do you?"
"Tell her I won't see you!"
Seeing Yun's puzzled expression, Zhe Ye put on the last pastel-colored dance costume he had found and tied the belt into a knot with his deft fingers.
"I have been using the two sisters from the beginning. After her sister found out something was wrong, she kept her distance from me. But Lin Ruofan is so stupid."
"You thought I was some pitiful person. What annoys me most is her pitying attitude!"
"We finally managed to get her to the Four Directions Realm and even gave her a shop. Why is she coming back?"
After Zhe Ye finished speaking, he turned his fingers and tied a triangular amulet with poor stitching to the belt around his waist.
"Then I will send them both away right away."
Zhe Ye nodded, as if he had thought of something, and continued: "I remember there was a bookstore next to the jade shop, which was also owned by the Wen family. You should find a way to take it down and give it to Lin Ruofan."
"Just consider it as my compensation for using her to induce a fight between Baili Shun and Ji Yuheng."
The words fell.
The door was suddenly pushed open by someone outside, and Lin Ruofan's pale face was immediately exposed in front of the two of them.
Yun reached out to stop her, "Ms. Lin, you are not allowed to enter here, please get out!"
Lin Ruofan ignored his obstruction, moved his body stiffly, and slowly walked towards Zhe Ye who had a surprised look on his face.
The boy's appearance remained the same, but the familiar charm and seductiveness were gone.
This kind of strict, confident and casual look was what she hoped to see most.
Now, for some reason, she couldn't be happy.
It was too strange, as if she had never seen Zhe Ye’s true face.
My heart was instantly in turmoil and even breathing became difficult.
“Zhe Ye…did you…do…this?” Lin Ruofan’s voice was hoarse and he asked the complete question with difficulty.
"Didn't you hear it outside?"
Zhe Ye waved his hand, signaling Yun to go out.
Yun came to the door and closed it tightly. When he turned around, he saw Wen Qi standing at the fence outside the house with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
Yun was a little surprised. What was the cultivation level of these two people?
Why didn't he notice Lin Ruofan eavesdropping outside the door just now, nor did he notice the appearance of this old man?
Wen Qi waved his hand at him, indicating that he should not disturb the two people in the house. "The children have something to say, you and I will wait here."
inside the house.
Zhe Ye raised his fingers and gently wiped away the tears from Lin Ruofan's eyes, "Yes, I did it all."
As she twisted her fingers, the hot tears instantly disappeared on her fingertips, leaving behind some residual warmth.
Lin Ruofan felt as if ice water was poured over her head. Her heart instantly turned cold and ached. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't see the expression on the boy's face.
But she had completely understood that she was just a pawn who was sold and was foolishly counting money for others.
"It turns out... I was... deceived again..." Blood was flowing from Lin Ruofan's throat under the white jacket.
