Lin Chuyun walked forward quickly, held Lou Xiyue's hand with a happy face, and asked: "Why is Miss Lou here? How did you know that I was here? You... came here specially to see me. What?"

Lou Xiyue showed a smile and replied: "Well, it's a long story, and I can't explain it in one or two sentences. In short, I came to the capital for various reasons, and I also found out where you live by chance, so Come see you here.”

Her words were vague, and Lin Chuyun was not surprised. She just smiled gently and didn't care about the concealment in Lou Xiyue's words.

"You people in the world will inevitably have difficulties when traveling abroad. Some things are inconvenient to say. I understand and understand these." Lin Chuyun gently held her hand and said:

"Miss Lou, shouldn't you be in a hurry to leave? If you have plenty of time, why not have a cup of tea at my place?"

Lou Xiyue came to Lin's house just because of her, so she naturally nodded and agreed: "That's fine. Having said that, maybe I haven't drank the tea you brewed for a long time, Miss Izumo. Now that I see you, I can't help but feel... miss."

While Lin Chuyun was cleaning the cups, he said, "Miss Lou, I'm going to have a good taste of it. Do you think my craftsmanship is not as good as before?"

While talking, Lin Chuyun first sent a stack of cloud cakes over: "At this time, Miss Lou must have not had breakfast yet, so let's try some snacks first to cushion her stomach."

Lou Xiyue said "Thank you" and immediately opened his mouth and bit off a piece. The pastry is soft and glutinous in the mouth, sweet but not greasy, which shows the skill of the maker.

"I remember Miss Lou doesn't like strong tea. This is the white tea I brought from Jiangnan. It's the most light and refreshing. Please try it, Miss."

After eating a few pastries and drinking a few sips of hot tea, my spleen and stomach were warmed up. Lou Xiyue sincerely praised: "It's really good tea and good snacks. Miss Izumo's craftsmanship has become even better."

Lin Chuyun smiled: "Miss Lou, just don't mind my simple life here."

"If this is just a simple meal, I'm afraid there won't be any exquisite meals in the world." As he said this, Lou Xiyue glanced around and said:
"It seems that Miss Izumo has been doing pretty well since we parted ways. I have seen the Lin family's house. Although it is not as luxurious as a wealthy family, it is more than enough for food and clothing.

"I wonder what kind of work Miss Izumo is doing now?"

Hearing this, Lin Chuyun just smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "It's just a living, there's no other way to earn a living." She sat down in front of Lou Xiyue, with a sad look on her face that could not be concealed:
"Miss Lou is a sensible person. I don't need to say more. She must have guessed a bit about my current situation - if I really had a good life, I wouldn't be chatting with the girl over tea at this time."

Lou Xiyue asked: "What is going on? I thought you would be more comfortable if you left the brothel."

"It's the same here...it's a long story." Lin Chuyun said: "Thanks to the help of Miss Menglou and Brother Wen, I was able to escape from the sea of ​​​​fire. I just thought about the ordinary life of ordinary people, how easy is it?"

She said: "Not long after I returned home, all the money I brought with me was quickly lost by my relatives at home. Later, we were desperate and had to be helped by relatives, so we came to the capital."

Speaking of this, Lin Chuyun sighed again: "I thought life would get easier, but I didn't expect that the relative who helped us had bad intentions -

"They know my reputation in Jiangnan, so they want to use me to win over the powerful and powerful, so as to help them climb high and become prosperous from now on!"

Lou Xiyue nodded, thinking that this information was consistent with the clues Xuan Yi had collected.

"So, is it because of this that Miss Izumo was so worried that she stayed up all night?"

When Lin Chuyun mentioned his sadness, his voice couldn't help but choked with sobs: "Exactly. I wonder if Miss Lou has ever heard of the Nie family in the capital?"

"I heard something." Lou Xiyue asked, "Is that Lin family member still related to the Nie family?"

"That's right." Lin Izuyun nodded: "Uncle Lin, who has been taking care of us these days, is the housekeeper of the Nie family. He knew that I had lived in a brothel, and the name of Jiangnan Izuyun girl was even more famous, so he forcefully removed me Introduced to the young master of the Nie family..." "I see." Lou Xiyue said clearly: "So you are worried and distressed because of this matter. Have they ever forced you?"

Lin Chuyun shook his head and said: "Not yet. But if it passes in another three days, I'm afraid I will..." She seemed to be talking about something sad, her eyes turned red and she shed tears.

"Afraid of what?"

"I'm afraid I'm not going to die soon."

"Why did Miss Izumo say this?"

"Miss Lou doesn't know something. Three days later, Mr. Nie asked me to go to his private manor for a banquet. He invited officials from all over the court and famous merchants in Daxuan to have a night drink at the manor." Lin Chuyun said. Wiping his tears, he continued:
"Master Nie said that my piano skills are outstanding and he asked me to play the piano for the adults at the banquet."

"It's just playing the piano. Maybe you are overthinking it. The situation is not serious." Lou Xiyue said.

"If it was really just about playing the piano, why would I be so worried?" Lin Chuyun held back tears and said, "In fact, after knowing the origin of Mr. Nie's family, I privately inquired about the news and rumors about him..."

The name Nie Huaishen does not have a good reputation among the people.

As the son of a powerful man in the capital, Nie Huaishen may look good on the surface, but he is greedy for pleasure and acts domineeringly. Like other children from wealthy families in the capital, he bullied men and women in the capital every day. He was so lawless that it was outrageous.

It just so happens that their family backgrounds are prominent, and even if they make mistakes, ordinary people can't do anything to them.

"I learned from Mr. Nie that he had a garden called Qianjiao Garden on the outskirts of Beijing, so I kept an eye out and ordered the maids to investigate on my behalf, but found nothing. Until one day I accidentally met an old benefactor who came to Beijing for business. …”

In the past, when he was deeply involved in the land of romance, Lin Chuyun also met several benefactors with good character, and Zhao Yuanwai was one of them.

Zhao Yuanwai was very happy to meet his old friend in a foreign country, so he left Lin Chuyun to talk in the lake pavilion.

It was also from Zhao Yuanwai's words that Lin Chuyun realized that the Qianjiao Garden Night Banquet was not simple.

"At first I just thought it was just an ordinary banquet, but after listening to Zhao Yuanwai's explanation, I realized that it turned out to be a transaction of money and power concealed by the banquet," Lin Chuyun said.

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Lin Chuyun: "Miss Lou, do you still remember Mr. Nie I mentioned just now? On the surface, Qianjiao Garden is in his name, but in fact, Mr. Nie is just taking care of the garden for others. Even the guests at the night banquet He is not the one in charge."

Lou Xiyue naturally knew who the culprit was, but she did not tell the truth.

She asked: "Who is that?"

At this time, Lin Chuyun looked nervously into the yard, and after making sure there was no one around, he whispered the person's name——

"He is the current Crown Prince!"
