Chapter 529: Did Not Leave
Chapter 529: Did Not Leave
Having found his direction, he naturally didn't hesitate any longer and quickly left with his guards.
But what Li Jingyang didn't expect was that after he rushed out of the city gate, a carriage left in another direction.
Having no idea about this, naturally there's no way to find the person.
Li Jingyang, who had just returned to the capital, sat in the room searching for something that could serve as evidence.
But as he searched, another figure walked in again.
"You're finally back. Why did you go out all of a sudden? Is there something you need my help with?"
"unnecessary."
Li Jingyang glanced at the other person indifferently, and then searched for Lin Rusi's presence from every corner again.
But he had been gone for two days, so there was no trace of life left in the room.
"You look a bit scary right now, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No matter what you do, you can only search better if you are well rested."
Looking at Li Jingyang, who was exhausted, Shen Liuying couldn't help but reach out and try to press him down onto the bed.
But the hand had already dodged away, giving no chance to touch it.
"Young Master Lin?"
"Get out of the way, don't go out to find someone in front of me."
Never expecting this, she stood there dumbfounded, reaching out to grab the person, but was met with a cold, sharp gaze that made her afraid to move.
Knowing that taking any further action at this point would only annoy people, Shen Liuying had no choice but to give up, obediently walk out of the house, and sit downstairs listening to the surrounding discussions.
The shopkeeper and waiter breathed a sigh of relief after Li Jingyang left and began to chat cautiously.
"Do you think that lady was really angry?"
"His appearance suggests that his wife is unwilling to continue the marriage and is trying her best to salvage the situation."
"Actually, I saw that you had something in your hand that day, and it seemed that the words 'divorce' were written on it."
Divorce?
Shen Liuying smiled slightly, stood up quietly, and walked out.
In the afternoon, upon hearing that Li Jingyang had returned to rest, she immediately sent the prepared items upstairs.
"I'm sorry, Master hasn't rested for three days and has ordered that no one should disturb him."
"Then please deliver the things there; they'll help him recover."
The other person nodded, took the food box, and then did nothing more.
Upon noticing the commotion outside, Li Jingyang's eyes turned even colder. He immediately said there was no need and told the servants to eat it.
Knowing that Shen Liuying had not left, he felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this.
But he realized what he had done a moment later, smiled again, said he would come back tonight, and turned to leave.
But when Shen Liuying came back that evening, she found that the house was empty.
"Young Master Lin has gone out again?"
"That's true."
The servants who remained there simply blocked people from entering.
Shen Liuying noticed this, but instead of getting angry, she quickly walked out and came back the next day.
Several times in a row, Li Jingyang's attitude became increasingly cold, and he directly drove people away.
“I know that Young Master Lin was angry and left with his wife, but you can’t hurt yourself like this. It will break my heart.”
Seeing the hand that was about to touch his face, Li Jingyang slapped it away.
Hearing the soft gasp, he realized that the other person had been shouting downstairs that day, and his face grew even more gloomy.
"It really is because of you."
"What do you mean, 'because of me'? Young Master Lin, have you misunderstood something?"
Shen Liuying wasn't stupid. Noticing Li Jingyang's changing expression, she could only apologize and even subtly take two steps back.
But the other side also sensed something was wrong and wanted to stop, but was suddenly grabbed by a hand.
Just as I was about to struggle, I heard a voice in my ear.
"It's because of you that Madam left; she really can't be kept here."
"You can't kill me! My brother asked you to take good care of me!"
Shen Liuying wanted to speak up and remind him not to let him take action.
Li Jingyang remained silent, simply looking at her calmly.
Fearing that the other party might say something else that would provoke their master into losing control, the subordinate immediately raised his hand to cover the slightly open mouth.
"Master, why don't we just send them back? That way we won't have anything else to worry about."
"Let's go now."
Once they were certain their lives were safe, no one dared to say anything more, and they turned around and dragged the man away.
Once the figure disappeared, Li Jingyang expanded his search area again, hoping to find his wife who was threatening divorce.
However, Li Jingyang did not expect that a figure would appear on the next street not long after he left.
"What would you like to eat today, young lady? Would you like me to prepare it for you and take it back with you?"
"Thank you very much then." Lin Rusi looked at the meat strips that the other person had quickly prepared and smiled. "I would also like to have some soup today, but I don't know how to make it."
The vendor didn't hesitate at all and carefully explained how to make it.
Lin Rusi listened very attentively, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.
This isn't to satisfy my own appetite, but so that I can provide nutritious food for Changning in the future.
After all, if we really want to take the person away, we can no longer use their current identity.
Thinking of Changning, who was still in the palace, she let out an even heavier sigh.
"This soup is definitely a bit difficult, but once you learn how, you'll be able to make it yourself in the future."
"I'm not sighing about that, but rather thinking about what other dishes would be suitable for two- or three-year-old children."
"The girl already has a child?!"
The butcher exclaimed in surprise, and the people next to him stood there stunned for a long time before lowering their heads in disappointment.
Lin Rusi had already noticed the looks in their eyes. She smiled slightly and described her adorable child to everyone.
The more they talked, the happier they became, and a smile appeared in one of their slightly melancholy eyes.
Five days later.
Li Jingyang looked at the letter in his hand, then glanced at the map in his hand, and threw the marked object back into the other person's hand.
"You're not allowed to come back until you find them."
"Yes."
Everyone paused, looking nervously to the side, clearly wanting to say something, but Li Jingyang had already turned around and headed back to Jiangnan.
On the way, his mind was filled with images of Lin Rusi.
"I wonder how Sisi is doing. If she's in danger nearby, how can we protect her?"
"My lord, the lady is a lucky person and will definitely not be in any danger."
"Of course, but I'm still worried that she might be bullied."
At this point, no one dared to speak further, and could only let Li Jingyang reminisce about Lin Rusi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Having finally returned to the familiar Jiangnan region, his peripheral vision was drawn to a familiar figure.
"Sisi".
"You found it... Hmm!"
Before he could even speak, his quick-witted companion covered his mouth.
