Chapter 171 Wen Chengli Takes the Bait ([-])

About Ji Yunzhen's return to Beijing, Wen Chengli had already heard the emperor's eldest grandson mention it.

But she is in the Grand Master's Mansion, so not everyone can see her if she wants to.

People are easy to be cheap, the more you can't see it, the more you miss it.

The same is true for Wen Chengli, ever since he knew that Ji Yunzhen lived in the same place as himself, half of his heart has been taken away.

Although he went to various sensual occasions with the eldest grandson of the emperor every day, he still couldn't forget Ji Yunzhen.

Even when he was listening to Yumo's opera, he could regard the people on the stage as the girls on the cusp of his heart.

A few days ago, someone told him that he saw Ji Yunzhen several times near a certain restaurant, so he didn't even go to the brothel casino, and came to the restaurant early in the morning to guard.

This guard lasted for two days, and Wen Chengli, who was already impatient, became more and more irritable. Not only Yam, but even the little second brother who ran the hall was scolded bloody by him.

Where did Yam dare to sit today? She stood directly by the window for several hours, not even daring to blink for fear of accidentally looking away again.

Hard work paid off, Wen Chengli had just eaten a few mouthfuls of lunch when an exceptionally slim figure appeared in Shan Yao's field of vision.

He had really been scolded enough these days, and couldn't help but yelled.

Wen Chengli jumped up from the chair, and rushed to the window in two or three steps.

Ji Yunzhen's dress is very plain, different from the deliberate pursuit of elegance in the past, but really simple and plain.

She was dressed in a gray-blue coarse cloth dress, and her simple bun didn't even have a silver hairpin. She was worse than ordinary girls.

Seeing this situation, Wen Chengli's heart ached, tears almost fell down.

"Yam, is that really Miss Ji?"

Shan Yao timidly said: "Yes, that's her..."

Wen Chengli scolded: "The Xia family is really nothing, and Miss Xia is even more of a jerk!
Isn't the Grand Master's Mansion powerful and powerful? Why do you want to abuse Miss Ji so badly? "

Shan Yao didn't dare to answer, her thick lips moved slightly.

Ever since Master Da saw Miss Ji, he has been in a daze, and the situation has become more and more serious.

The Grand Master's Mansion is indeed not short of money, but Miss Ji is now a maid, and she is also the descendant of the criminal minister.

Could it be that the Xia family still has to let her wear gold and silver, and treat her like a grandmother to be considered a thing?
Wen Chengli's cursing continued: "Yan Feilu must be fooling the master, saying that Miss Xia is a stunning beauty, just like the moon in the sky that day, shit!
She was clearly jealous of Miss Ji's beauty, that's why she made her look ashamed, so that she could look a little bit pretty herself! "

Seeing Ji Yunzhen's figure getting smaller and smaller, Shan Yao really couldn't listen anymore.

"Master, Miss Ji has gone far away, should we catch up and see?"

Wen Chengli kicked him: "Why are you still standing there, hurry up!"

The master and servant hurried downstairs and chased after Ji Yunzhen.

Ji Yunzhen was here to be a bait, so naturally she wouldn't let them get lost, otherwise with her footsteps, she would have disappeared by the time the two of them went downstairs.

Wen Chengli didn't dare to disturb Ji Yunzhen, so he followed her not too close or far away until she turned into an alley.

"Yam, do you know that alley?"

"Small understanding, that is Liuhua Lane, there are many pomegranate trees planted in it, and they are so beautiful when they bloom!"

"Who told you to talk nonsense, I want to ask who are the people living there."

Shan Yao pouted: "The people living there are ordinary people, nothing special."

When Wen Chengli heard that they were all common people, he immediately became more courageous.

"Let's go and have a look."

The two continued to walk forward and followed into Liuhua Lane.

As Yam said, Liuhua Lane is an ordinary alley in the capital.

Unlike Chiyu Lane, the people living here are more mixed, and their lives are not very good.

The houses are big and small, and the styles are also different, and they look very messy when put together.

Ji Yunzhen walked all the way to the end of the alley, and stopped in front of a small dilapidated house.

Worried about being discovered by her, the master and servant hid behind the sundries piled up at the door of a house.

"Master, we already know which family Miss Ji is looking for, we should go back first." Shan Yao suggested in a low voice.

"What's the matter, are you tired?" Wen Chengli rolled his eyelids.

"No..." Shan Yao couldn't help it, and pinched her nose with her hands.

Both his parents were born in the Lu family, and he himself was born in Wen's parents in Wen's family, so he hasn't suffered at all since he was a child.

He has never been to a dilapidated place like Liuhua Lane a few times.

God knows where these urine smells come from, and if you smell it, you won't be able to keep your overnight meal.

Wen Chengli also pinched his nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Go out and avoid it for a while, and we'll come back after Miss Ji leaves."

The two hurriedly left Liuhua Lane and returned to the previous restaurant.

About an hour later, Ji Yunzhen appeared again.

Although the distance was a bit far, Wen Chengli could still see her red and swollen eyes clearly.

His heart tugged again.

Ji Yunzhen has always given him the impression of being strong, even when she was locked in the sky prison, she never saw her cry like this.

"Yam, let's go to Liuhua Lane again."

Yam curled her lips, feeling her stomach churning again.

The two walked into Liuhua Lane again and found the small house before.

Shan Yao stepped forward to knock on the door, and soon someone asked inside, "Who is it?"

Wen Chengli cleared his throat, raised his voice and said, "Please open the door, please."

With a creak, the door opened.

An old man with gray hair poked his head out and squinted his eyes to look at the two of them.

"I'm sorry, son, the old man's eyes can't see clearly, you are..."

Wen Chengli was secretly happy.

This old man is probably a relative or a former servant of Ji's family, maybe he has seen him before.

If his eyes could see clearly, let alone inquiring about things today, he might be scolded.

He said softly: "I'm Master Ji's former student, just now I saw the eldest girl came to visit the old man, so I came here to have a look."

The old man cupped his hands: "I don't know your surname?"

Wen Chengli said: "Miangui's surname is Li, and he is also from the capital."

The old man turned his body sideways: "Master, if you have something to say, come in and say it."

"Thank you, old man." Wen Chengli thanked him, and walked in with the yam.

Shan Yao was speechless secretly. He had served Grandpa for more than ten years, but he had never seen such a gentle and respectful appearance.

If Master Xiang and his wife knew about this, they would definitely vomit blood with anger.

The small house occupies a very small area, except for a palm-sized yard, there are two rooms, one bright and one dark.

The old man gave up the only chair to Wen Chengli, and he found a small bench to sit by the door.

"The humble house is too simple, I won't invite the young master to drink tea."

Wen Chengli looked around at the furnishings in the room, and tears almost flowed down again.
