Chapter 245 Never Joking About Feelings

Wei Chushuang, wearing fluttering feathered clothes and stumbling on her feet, came to Teng Yuru and knelt heavily on the ground, ignoring the pain in her knees.

"Master, Lan'er is in trouble!"

Before she finished speaking, she held her head in her hands and kowtowed, feeling overwhelmed with sorrow.

Teng Yuru's pupils trembled violently in shock, and his brows became complicated for a moment.

"Isn't Lan'er at the elegant residence in the suburbs of Beijing?"

"What happened to her?"

Wei Chushuang sobbed and almost burst into tears.

"Chu Wei said... Ya's house caught fire... Lan'er was trapped in the sea of ​​fire..."

Teng Yuru was in a state of rage, impatient and angry.

"Then why are you still standing there? Let's go and save her!"

Wei Chushuang cried until she became hoarse, and she was heartbroken.

"It's too late... It's all my fault for acting on my own..."

His heart was pounding like a drum and he felt suffocated. Teng Yuru shook his head in disbelief.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"Lan'er has a good character and has never done anything that is harmful to the world. How could God bear to take her away?"

In a hurry, he quickly came up with an idea.

"Let's go and see the princess. She is an excellent doctor and she must be able to save Lan'er."

Wei Chushuang saw a glimmer of hope and immediately stopped crying. With tears in her eyes, she nodded repeatedly.

"So fast."

The couple walked quickly, got on the carriage, and headed straight for Yuexi Mansion.

Ning Yunxi was about to go to bed when she heard that E'lan was in trouble. She quickly changed her clothes and rushed to the outskirts of Beijing with Teng Yuru and his wife.

On the way, she asked about the situation and learned about what had happened recently.

Before reaching the outskirts of Beijing, she smiled with relief and satisfaction.

"Since Second Master Zhuang did it on purpose, then it's fine."

"So they have such a past."

Not knowing Zhuang Rui's true identity, Wei Chushuang naturally didn't understand what she meant.

"Why do you say that, Princess?"

Thinking that revealing her identity would require Zhuang Rui's consent, Ning Yunxi did not state it and only gave a simple explanation.

"He was playing a trick on me, not trying to force E-lan to leave on her own. You misunderstood me before. In fact, he still holds a grudge against what happened back then."

"The purpose of setting fire to the house was to make E-lan homeless and homeless, so that I could vent my anger."

Wei Chushuang's brows were tightly knitted together, and his words were filled with worry.

"But Chu Wei said that he saw Lan'er turned into charcoal. Could it be that the person was not Lan'er?"

Ning Yunxi nodded and smiled, then continued to explain.

"Well, that was set up to cover up the truth."

"I guess that person passed away tragically and left no trace, so he sent her here as planned. You will treat her as O-lan and give her a grand burial. In this way, he will have done a good deed and achieved his goal."

Wei Chushuang lowered her eyes uneasily, feeling worried and self-blaming.

"I was stupid and thought that Mr. Zhuang wanted to marry Lan'er, so I took the initiative to make the decision and bring them together."

Ning Yunxi told the truth to comfort her.

"Master Wei is not wrong. I also think that he has not changed his infatuation."

Wei Chushuang was a little anxious and couldn't help complaining.

"Alas, I really don't understand the thoughts of the younger generation. Love is love, hate is hate. How can you tease them like this?"

"As the princess said, Lan'er is now living on the streets?"

"It's late at night. Where can she go?"

Teng Yuru was extremely anxious, but he also did not forget to comfort his wife.

"Madam, don't panic. After we return home, we will send people to search Shengjing and we will definitely find Lan'er."

Wei Chushuang nodded seriously.

"Okay, it's settled."

Ning Yunxi took the initiative to propose.

"My two lords, please be patient. I only said that this is what Mr. Zhuang intended, not the truth. E-lan has her own place to go, so she won't sleep on the street. I can roughly guess where she is, so I'll go find her."

"I will explain all the misunderstandings clearly. Please go back home and rest. Tomorrow morning at the latest, I will bring E Lan to visit the Teng Mansion."

Teng Yuru was full of worries and was worried.

"I will follow the princess to find her."

Wei Chushuang was busy supervising the Guardian Office and saw Yan Yu almost every day. She knew that even Prince Dijin would not refuse the princess's proposal, and they could not disobey, so she advised.

"The princess's arrangement has its own meaning. After we finish dealing with the matter of the elegant residence in the suburbs of Beijing, we will return home and wait."

With his heart on E-Lan, Teng Yuru's thoughts were empty.

"The elegant residence in the suburbs of Beijing has been reduced to ashes. What else is there to deal with?"

Wei Chushuang explained patiently.

"First, we have to bury that unfortunate man. Second, the warehouse is not safe, so we have to calculate the approximate loss."

After she said that, Ning Yunxi remembered this.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that even if the house is completely destroyed, the storehouse will definitely remain intact."

"In addition, Mr. Zhuang will also deposit the silver needed to buy the house into the warehouse or send it to the Teng Mansion."

Teng Yuru was stunned when he heard this.

"How could Second Master Zhuang control the fire so appropriately?"

"I heard Lan'er say that he could annotate Confucius' On Benevolence, so I felt that this person was not simple."

Thinking about the political situation, he sighed silently.

"The emperor has gained another great sage by his side."

Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"It's just bluffing. Lord Teng has a keen eye and will definitely see through it."

After the conversation, Ning Yunxi borrowed a horse from them and left first. Thinking back to where E-lan came from, she determined the direction and rushed there...

The hut is located in a remote area and has been uninhabited for a long time. It is dilapidated, dirty and shabby.

Having not eaten for two days, E'lan was now huddled in bed, covered with a quilt, still feeling cold.

"You...why are you here?"

Zhuang Rui put down the lunch box and found a wooden chair to sit down. He was startled when he heard the chair creak.

In his peripheral vision, E'lan slowly turned her head towards him, and he immediately put away his frightened expression and turned serious.

Although it was done swiftly, E'lan still managed to catch one or two.

She laughed at herself, feeling guilty and humble.

"This humble room and this cold chair cannot compare to the throne of a rich family. I am sorry to make you laugh, Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Rui was embarrassed and subconsciously thought that she was laughing at him when she was making fun of herself. He felt embarrassed and his face became solemn.

"You actually know me?"

"If that's the case, why haven't you taken the initiative to show your goodwill?"

"I guess Miss Tang doesn't feel hungry and wants to hold on?"

E-lan was startled.

"You are the one who teased me?"

Zhuang Rui smiled frivolously.

"It's me, what can you do?"

O-lan was unhappy.

"I can't do anything, I just want to give you some advice. We were classmates after all, and now that it's over, just let it go."

Zhuang Rui was annoyed when he heard this.

"What Miss Tang said is so unreasonable!"

"You haven't been played with by anyone, so you can just let it go. I will never let it go!"

E-lan was helpless and felt impatient.

"Then what else do you want?"

There was a hint of jealousy in Zhuang Rui's anger.

"Aren't my words clear enough? I want you to take the initiative to show your kindness, just like you did to Ouyang Chi back then!"

E-lan understood what he meant and refused directly.

"I can not do it."

Zhuang Rui snorted coldly and picked up the food box.

"Then just starve. When you figure it out, I'll give you the antidote."

Seeing him getting up to leave, E-lan hurriedly stopped him.

The hunger was unbearable, and after thinking it over, she decided to tell the truth.

"In fact, the playfulness back then was all fake. Even if there was some deception, I never joked about feelings."

"Will you believe me?"

Zhuang Rui looked back with disdain and asked back with a chuckle.

"It's a little red, shocking. Just look at it. Does Lord Wei believe it?"

E'lan's eyes revealed tenderness, she seemed to be wandering and uneasy, and she showed her sincerity weakly.

"What I said is true. I am still a virgin. If you don't believe me, you can come and try..."

Zhuang Rui looked back in shock.

"what?"
