Chapter 594 Breaking into the Night
Yan Shu put down his chopsticks and nodded truthfully: "He has been there."
Yan Huai asked: "What did he remember?"
"should not."
Yan Shu briefly recounted what happened when he met Wei Yang at the rouge shop, and Yan Wu's face was filled with anger after hearing it.
"That woman is so shameless. She was hostile to me before. Later, when she found out that I was a woman and had feelings for Jiang Ci, I realized that she regarded me as a rival. Now that I have cut off contact with Jiang Ci, why is she still haunting me?"
Yan Ersheng said, "Jiang Ci came to Xinyang Prefecture to participate in the provincial examination. He will stay for no more than two months at most. Our family should try not to have any contact with him recently. Once he leaves Xinyang, he will probably not come back here."
Liu Wenniang agreed with what Yan Ersheng said.
"Your father is right. They won't stay here for long. My daughter, just stay at home and accompany me and your sister-in-law. As for the job of delivering skin care products to the Rouge Shop, leave it to your eldest and second brothers."
Yan Shu nodded obediently: "My daughter understands."
After the family had their meal, they cleaned up the dishes and did the kitchen chores and left the space together, each going back to their room to rest.
After Yan Shu sent his family away, he closed the door and was about to go to bed to rest when a gust of wind suddenly blew in from the window and the candle on the table went out.
The room instantly fell into darkness. Yan Shu stood there motionless, his heart suddenly paused, and he looked in the direction of the table.
Suddenly, a ghostly black shadow appeared in front of the table, staring at her coldly.
Yan Shu's heart was filled with alarm and he had already taken out a dagger.
"who are you?"
The black shadow stood there, staring at her silently for a while, then slowly walked towards her.
When the other party was only one meter away from her, Yan Shu suddenly raised his hand and threw out a handful of medicine powder, and the dagger in the other hand stabbed fiercely at the black shadow. The other party was slightly stunned, and then the figure quickly moved in front of her.
Yan Shu only felt her waist tightened, and her whole body was held in the other party's arms. Her wrist felt numb, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.
The man raised his hand and quickly pressed her acupoints, then took her to open the door and flew away.
Yan Shu couldn't move and could only look at the other person in the moonlight.
The man was dressed in black, with a black scarf wrapped around his face, revealing only a pair of lonely, cold and noble phoenix eyes.
After seeing those eyes, Yan Shu felt relieved.
Then doubts came to my mind again.
Why did Jiang Ci come here so late at night?
The two of them gracefully landed in a house. Jiang Ci lowered his cold eyes and glanced at the woman in his arms.
Seeing Yan Shu staring at him calmly, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Aren't you afraid?"
"After all, my uncle and I have known each other for a while. If you need help, just ask someone to come and ask for it. Why would you be such a scapegoat?"
Seeing that Yan Shu had recognized him, Jiang Ci reached out and pulled off the black scarf on his face, revealing a very elegant face.
"It seems that I got along well with my sister-in-law during those two years. You were able to recognize me in such a dim environment."
Yan Shu said: "After all, you are Jiang Huan's younger brother. As your sister-in-law, it is only natural for me to help you a little more on your way to escape from the famine."
"Is that so?" Jiang Ci narrowed his cold eyes slightly.
"Of course, my uncle has an extraordinary demeanor, and his phoenix eyes are particularly special. You will be able to recognize him easily after spending more time with him."
Jiang Ci said lightly: "As far as I know, that's not the case. My relationship with my sister-in-law doesn't seem to be superficial."
He moved closer to her deliberately, leaning down to meet her gaze.
Yan Shu immediately took a step back and said in a cold voice: "Please respect yourself, uncle. I... I don't know what you have investigated, but I am just your uncle and sister-in-law. Please don't do such inappropriate things in the future."
Seeing that she was deliberately avoiding him and there was obvious panic in her eyes, Jiang Ci said softly.
"So it's true that you and Liu Hanyue are engaged?"
Yan Shu suddenly remembered what Liu Hanyue said today.
Since they have broken up, they should do it completely. There should be no contact between the two of them anymore.
Pursing her lips, she said, "Yes!"
Jiang Ci sneered twice: "Sister-in-law, this joke is not funny."
Yan Shu took a deep breath, raised his head and looked directly at Jiang Ci.
"I'm not kidding. The Second Young Master has taken good care of me and my family over the past six months. He is handsome, rich and powerful, so it's not surprising that I like him."
"You never thought of coming to look for me after I lost my memory. Why?"
Yan Shu smiled faintly, "We fled together to help each other. Now we are no longer homeless like before. My uncle has his own things to do, and I just want to live a stable life here. We are pursuing different goals. As the saying goes, people with different goals cannot work together. Why should I bother you?"
Seeing Jiang Ci's gloomy eyes, Yan Shu felt unsure.
After all, the man in front of her is a moody lunatic who has lost his memory. If she makes him unhappy, he might kill her directly.
"Well...it's getting late. My uncle brought me out here at night. He must want my help with something. Why don't you just tell me straight away?"
Jiang Ci still had a lot of things he wanted to figure out, and from what he had talked about with Yan Shu, he vaguely felt that his amnesia was related to her.
Or was she under some pressure and had to choose to leave him?
According to the information sent by the secret line, although Yan Shu and Liu Hanyue had frequent contacts in the past six months, they were all related to the crops in the town Sanshili outside the city, and there was no additional contact.
So he didn't believe that what Yan Shu said was from the heart. She didn't seem to want him to recall the past, nor did she want him to appear in front of her.
"The whip wounds on Wei Yang's body caused an infection. We have invited all the famous doctors in the city, but it is of no use. If she dies at the hands of Liu Hanyue, the Grand Princess and the Liu family will definitely become enemies because of this. The Grand Princess will still need to mediate in the capital, so Wei Yang cannot die for the time being."
Yan Shu understood that Jiang Ci didn't care about Wei Yang's life or death, but he cared about the power of the Grand Princess and Marquis Yong'an behind Wei Yang.
In the capital, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion and Feng Xuanfu have been planning all these years. Jiang Ci is far away in Nanwei, and he cannot fall out with Old Feng and the Grand Princess until he is fully grown. At the very least, he has to maintain superficial harmony.
"I can save her, but you have to agree to two conditions."
"Sister-in-law, please tell me."
Yan Shu glanced at Jiang Ci and said, "I know you want to get the Jibei Army. Liu Bin and his son have agreed to hand over the military power, but the military power will be handed over to me. When you need to transfer these soldiers in the future, I can send troops to help you. I only hope that you can protect the Liu family for a hundred years of peace after you achieve your goal in the future. I have spent a lot of time with Liu's father and son this year. They are all talented people but they don't have too much ambition. Their only wish is to protect the people in this area so that they can live a stable life. Liu Bin's willingness to hand over these 50,000 Jibei troops is undoubtedly cutting off his own arms, which is enough to prove his intention."
Jiang Ci and Liu Bin had met twice in private in the past few days, and they had also tested each other. He didn't believe the father and son of the Liu family, but he was willing to believe her words.
"Okay, I promise you, what's the second condition?"
Yan Shu said seriously: "From now on, I hope you and Wei Yang will not disturb my life again. I am just an ordinary citizen and don't want to be involved too much with you royal relatives."
"After Wei Yang recovers from her injuries, I will send her away as soon as possible, and I promise that I will never let her appear in front of you again from now on."
Yan Shu heard Jiang Ci didn't mention himself, so he asked, "What about you?"
Jiang Ci stared at her silently: "I can't do it."
Yan Shu:......
"Jiang Ci, we don't belong to the same world. You have your own responsibilities to fulfill, and I have my own family to protect. The path you want to take is too dangerous, and I don't want to be implicated."
"Give me some time, and I will clear up all your worries."
Yan Shu sighed helplessly: "Summer insects cannot talk about ice. You are destined to be an eagle soaring in the sky, and I just want to be a salted fish lying flat. I just hope you can stay away from my life."
Jiang Ci looked at her indifferently for a while: "Before I recover my memory, I will try not to disturb your life, but this does not include your desire to marry someone else."
