Chapter 796 I will accompany you (one more)
The maid brought Shencha and took Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie's teacups away at the same time.

The two cups of tea were already cold, and they hadn't touched them halfway. Chen Yunqi watched the maid carry them away, and turned to Bai Qingyuan.

One could see that Bai Qingyuan was forcing a smile, Chen Yunqi didn't dare to ask more about what happened, and after deliberating his words in his heart, he explained his reasons clearly.

Her voice was already very soft and thin, especially soft. Coupled with the changes in her family, she has become less confident in her speech recently. After she finished speaking in a low voice, she saw Bai Qingyuan staring at the snow with her eyes open. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the other party was listening.

"... Aunt Bai?" Chen Yunqi said.

Bai Qingyuan looked up at her: "Yes."

"My aunt heard what I said..."

Bai Qingyuan showed a troubled expression on his face, then his eyes turned red, and he looked back at the snow field outside.

After being quiet for a while, Bai Qingyuan said, "Don't look for her, she won't want to see you."

"Who is Aunt talking about?"

"It's the girl Ali you're looking for," Bai Qingyuan's face turned pale when she mentioned her name, "She won't help you, not only won't help you, she will even escort you to the government, don't you Look for her, and don't look for me in the future..."

Chen Yunqi was stunned, her beautiful eyes slightly widened.

"Auntie, did she mention me to you?"

"You, don't ask any more questions!" Bai Qingyuan said, paused, and she turned to look at Chen Yunqi, "Nephew, it's not that my aunt refuses to help you. If my aunt is alone, she will help you with everything and risk her life." I can help you too. But, I have a family and a husband."

"You are worried that she will take her anger on Mr. Tai..."

"Let's go, I can't help you with anything, she has all eyes and hands, I'm afraid she would know if you came here now." Bai Qingyuan said with a trembling voice.

"Why?" Chen Yunqi didn't understand, "I never offended her, why did she treat me like this?"

"You helped your father escape, and I helped too!" Bai Qingyuan said excitedly.

Chen Yunqi was dumbfounded again.

Bai Qingyuan calmed down, closed his eyes, opened them again, and looked at Chen Yunqi calmly.

"Nephew, I'll give you some silver. You can take your mother away. The farther you can go from Congxin, the better."

"Now it's freezing and snowy, where can we go...there is war in the south, and people in the north are fleeing south again. Auntie, isn't Miss Ali a good person? Will she be so hard-hearted, won't you help me?"

"Why don't you understand that not only will she not help you, she will even send you to the government directly!"

Chen Yunqi's face was pale, and the hot tea in her hand seemed to turn cold instantly.

"Let's go," Bai Qingyuan didn't dare to look at her anymore, but he was soft-hearted, "If you don't want to look for me in the future, then don't look for me."

The maids and servants in the room did not dare to speak out, and everyone looked carefully at the girl on the guest seat. She seemed unable to react, and her pretty face turned pale.

She didn't know how long it had been before she put the ginseng tea back, stood up a little awkwardly, and greeted Bai Qingyuan with blessings.

"Yunqi thanked my aunt for taking care of me and my mother during these days..."

Bai Qingyuan didn't look at her, his profile was cold.

Chen Yunqi pursed her lips and walked outside.

Snowflakes were falling, she picked up the umbrella leaning outside the door, and left Tai's mansion quickly without looking back.

At the end of the day, there are not many workers left in the restaurant.

Wei Dongyou, Xu Li, Ji Xiahe, and Zhai Jinsheng were all in the lobby downstairs, and the four of them discussed the decoration of the restaurant together.

Di Jinsheng went out this morning to find the master craftsmen. He had already negotiated a time to start work. Even in winter, the craftsmen were willing to work. They were really short of money.

Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie were upstairs all the time, during which Xu Li sneaked upstairs to take a look, and found that one was on the third floor and the other was on the fourth floor.

Di Jinsheng was silent, Ji Xiahe shook his head, Wei Dongyou couldn't understand why Shen Lie, who has always been decisive and decisive, didn't make it clear.

"You don't understand." Ji Xiahe, who already understood, patted Wei Dongyou on the shoulder.

"Didn't Master Ji have to match up before?" Wei Dongyou said.

"Yeah, he dragged me to the backyard to make sense." Ji Xiahe pointed to Di Jinsheng.

"One, if Miss Ali doesn't like the young master, once the young master speaks out, the friendship between them will be in a strange place. At that time, it will be hard to get back, no matter how good the friendship is, it will never go back." Di Jinsheng said.

"What about the two?"

"Second," Ji Xiahe raised his eyes and looked up, "Aren't our group of people, including Brother Shen, all homeless?"

Wei Dongyou was taken aback: "We, homeless?"

"Forget about ordinary girls." Ji Xiahe raised his hand and patted Wei Dongyou's shoulder, "This is Ah Li, who has a higher vision than us big men! Brother Shen, what else does he have besides money?"

Wei Dongyou seemed to understand, but he only understood one thing: "Indeed, Miss Ali is not an ordinary woman. Ordinary women, whoever dares to say that they make roads will build roads, and they will roll up their sleeves and do it."

"But," Xu Li said, "Master, you can't keep dragging on like this..."

"Is this still called procrastination?" Zhai Jinsheng frowned, "The reason why we came to Congxin this time is because the young master wants to meet Miss Ali."

"Take it easy," Ji Xiahe sighed softly, "Picture it slowly, and we'll break our hearts."

The voice fell, and the sound of the door opening could be heard from upstairs.

There was a squeak, very lightly.

The four immediately sat upright, pointing at the drawings on the table solemnly, talking nonsense.

I don't know who came down, anyway, it must be one of the parties involved.

The footsteps were lighter than the sound of opening the door, slightly lighter.

"It must be Ah Li." Ji Xiahe said in a breathy voice.

"Why didn't the young master come out with you?" Wei Dongyou was puzzled.

"Soon, trust me." Ji Xiahe said.

"Miss Ali is here." Xu Li hurriedly said.

"Ahem!" Ji Xiahe coughed lightly, pointing to the drawing, "This piece of wood, I don't think it looks like wood."

"It, it's a blueprint, it was painted on." Wei Dongyou stammered and said quickly.

"Oh..." Ji Xiahe hurriedly said, "Look at this corner, I think the carvings here can be modeled on the ministers sent by the emperor in the previous dynasty to visit the people..."

Xia Zhaoyi was curious about what they were doing, and when he went down the stairs, his dark eyes fell on their table.

At this time, the sound of the door opening came from upstairs again.

Ji Xiahe showed a smug expression, and raised his eyebrows at Wei Dongyou.

Xia Zhaoyi stopped, turned his eyes and looked behind.

Seeing Shen Lie's tall and straight figure stepping down slowly, Xia Zhaoyi smiled at him.

"Shen Lie, I have to go," Xia Zhaoyi said, "You have trekked here from Tanzhou, I wanted to go back tomorrow, but..."

"Can I go with you?" Shen Lie interrupted her with a gentle voice.

"You want to accompany me?"

"Well, I want to see you."

"It's okay, but the journey is far away..."

Shen Lie smiled lightly: "Ali, can you go from Tanzhou to Youzhou?"

"Not really." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.
