Chapter 24 Half Peach Blossom
The crowd gradually dispersed, and her gaze involuntarily turned to the night sky.

The universe is vast and boundless, containing everything in the world, the heavens, the earth, the stars, and the world, but it still looks extremely empty. Why can't some people be able to accommodate a few ants even though they are already high above them?

Qianru couldn't figure it out, now she only had the word "difficult" in her heart, and she was struggling.

Just when she was lost in thought, Yi Zhonglun suddenly dragged her into the study, and pushed her to the ground casually.

Yu Fu on the side was also horrified, it was the first time he saw his master getting so angry, he closed the door obediently, and then quietly backed away.

The candles in the house flickered extremely violently in an instant.

Between light and shadow, Qianru looked up and saw an angry face that she had never seen before.

Annoyed, Yi Zhonglun asked her to tell him all the ins and outs, as if she was also playing some tricks behind the scenes.

She was forced to resist, so she had nothing to say, and she told him everything.

"You little girl, why are you so calm?" Yi Zhonglun suppressed his voice and said excitedly, "After such a catastrophe, you still act as if nothing happened. Is your heart made of flesh?"

"I was able to hold my breath like this because I was forced out."

"What a heartless person, I protect you so much, don't you ever think about ventilating with me?"

Yi Zhonglun's face was full of sincerity, but Qianru didn't think it was trustworthy, she glanced lightly, lowered her eyebrows and said nothing.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Yi Zhonglun couldn't bear to criticize her anymore, so he helped her up.

"Don't think you'll be safe after tonight, you've caused a catastrophe! Quickly think about whether you have a handle or you might be discovered and used by others."

Qianru then expressed her worries about her younger brother Zhixuan.

Yi Zhonglun then ordered Yu Fu to take someone with her to the academy to pick An Zhixuan out.

However, when she arrived at the academy, she did not find Zhixuan.

The master dug out the notebook and found a record from a month ago.

Zhixuan was picked up by An Qianwen and never came back.

But how did An Qianwen know that Zhixuan was here?Why is she doing this?
Qianru was flustered and confused, and it took her a while to remember that when she and Sima Jiuniang fell out, An Qianwen was still working as a dancer in the Begonia Pavilion, but her contract of prostitution was in the hands of Zhao Xianer.

Could it be that Zhao Xian'er asked her to pick it up?
But why did Zhao Xian'er do this?

After picking up people, where will they go?

With the mentality of giving it a try, she went back to the house to search, and found that all the suitcases that Zhao Xianer had piled up inside were gone, and there was a lot of dust inside.

She reckoned that Zhao Xian'er had been here before, but Zhao Xian'er was also a poor man, if he didn't live here, where would he live?

Thinking, thinking, she went to the Begonia Pavilion, and found that it had been transformed into a half-faced peach blossom.

Banmian Taohua is still in the business of singing and dancing studios, and the business is booming, it is already midnight, and the house is still full.

In such a luxurious venue, the people who usually go to cheer are famous people.

Seeing that Yu Fu was hesitant, Qianru asked him to lead someone to guard outside, and went in to ask questions by herself.

Just a moment after entering the gate, she recognized An Qianwen who was dancing on the stage.

An Qianwen's left and right faces were painted with different makeup, one side was thick with makeup and the other side was light and elegant, and a man wearing a mask danced side by side with her.

Such a unique song and dance is really novel, no wonder the spectators are reluctant to leave.

There are quite a few old people from the Begonia restaurant in the half-faced peach blossoms. Soon after Qianru entered, she was recognized by Fu Sheng, the customer-seeker.

"I'm looking for your shopkeeper."

Fu Sheng didn't stop her, and politely led her to the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is covered with exquisite colored lights, which are as brilliant as the day.

This used to be the residence of singers and dancers in the museum, but now it has been converted into a number of elegant rooms for special guests.

And the small courtyard where she used to live has become a place where expensive antique calligraphy and paintings are traded.

Only a few rooms were unlit.

The original crabapple trees in the courtyard have all turned into peach trees, full of flowers.

She touched the pink flowers on that branch lightly, and found that they were all velvet flowers carefully sewn by hand.

So much, how much effort and money will be spent!

Fu Sheng led her to the waterside pavilion in the garden and asked her to wait there while he left.

Qianru waited for a long time but no one came, so she turned around in the garden by herself.

Vaguely, she seemed to hear Zhao Xian'er singing, and what she sang was a tune written by her.

The sound is getting closer and closer.

She looked around and found that Zhao Xian'er was coming here, and greeted her happily.

The two sisters hugged each other and wept, and it took a long time to hold back their tears.

Zhao Xian'er's body is brilliantly colored and embroidered, her makeup is bright and majestic, and her face is full of spring breeze.

Qianru guessed that she might be the shopkeeper of the half-faced peach blossom, but she couldn't believe it.

After all, not long ago, they were forced to have nowhere to go together.

But there are so many strange things in the world, and Zhao Xian'er is really the shopkeeper of half-faced peach blossoms.

Qianru really wanted to hear her legendary experience, but she came here for her younger brother Zhixuan, so she couldn't wait as soon as she stopped her tears.

Zhao Xian'er relieved her not to worry.

"Duke Rong's two concubine daughters are well-known shrews among the aristocrats in the capital. How could I not understand the fear in your heart? So, as soon as I got out of trouble, I asked Qianwen to pick up Zhixuan. He, It's very safe, even if they scour the capital, they won't be able to find Zhixuan."

"But I offended Ninghou Mansion again, I'm afraid it's not so safe."

Zhao Xian'er whispered to her that she entrusted a friend to send Zhixuan back to Gongjiang's hometown to be taken care of by the An family.

It's really hard for Zhixuan, Qianru shed tears of guilt.

Even if he had a harder life in Gongjiang City, it would be better than being tortured to death in the capital!

She owed Zhao Xian'er a big favor again, Qianru didn't know how to express her gratitude, and it all turned into tears.

"Don't cry, you made yourself so haggard, didn't you fulfill those bad guys who hurt you?"

"My sister's lesson is, I don't cry anymore, stop crying."

She laughed through tears, and grabbed Zhao Xian'er's hand to ask how she was doing.

"My situation is good, but it's actually not much better than yours. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Half of Peach Blossoms was opened by me and a few people, including Sima Jiuniang, who is not dead. Her backstage is far worse than we imagined. Powerful, alas!"

When Zhao Xianer sighed, Qianru noticed a pair of eyes full of hatred in the corridor, which were Sima Jiuniang's eyes.

"I can't help it either. I have been pampered since I was a teenager, and I have already adapted to this kind of life. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. I have really been stuck in mud all my life, alas!"

At this time, Yu Fu came over.

There is an errand tomorrow morning, Qianru can't stay longer, so she has to make an appointment with Zhao Xian'er next time.

When he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was almost four o'clock, the lights in Yi Zhonglun's room were still on, and the door was ajar.

She thought he was waiting for her to go back to report, so she knocked on the door twice and stepped in.

Unexpectedly, she saw An Qianya lying on her side in his arms, she quickly covered her eyes and withdrew softly.

Bastard, don't close the door at night, as if no one knows you have a concubine!
Cursing secretly, she returned to her bedroom, tidied up roughly, and then fell asleep.

She was sleeping soundly, when suddenly a basin of cold water came and woke her up.
