It was already the second day since Shangguan Yi had been rescued by a passerby.
Because he often stayed overnight at brothels, the people in his household were accustomed to his not returning home at night, so they didn't think to look for him.
Shangguan Yi usually had several guards accompanying him, but those men were assigned by his father. His father detested his son's daily idleness and wanted the guards to keep an eye on him. Shangguan Yi had a big argument with his father about this and subsequently dismissed the guards. He prided himself on his martial arts skills and didn't allow anyone else to follow him around, but he hadn't anticipated last night's incident.
After returning home, the servants called for a doctor to attend to him. The doctor applied medicine and said it was just some superficial wounds that would heal in a few days with some rest. Shangguan Yi was already planning in his mind how he would seek revenge once he recovered.
At this moment, Xu Linghe was practicing with a large sword at her residence.
Hong Ying watched from the side and said, "Miss, I've sent someone to inquire about the Miss Feng you mentioned."
Upon hearing this, Xu Linghe planted her sword on the ground and said, "Tell me!"
"According to the information we gathered, she is the daughter of the late General Mu Yuanshan. She has close ties to the General's Mansion, and it seems Princess Xuan He favors her as a potential daughter-in-law."
Xu Linghe: "I see. So the person she said she admired is General Qin."
"Miss, I've also received news about Young Master Shangguan. They say someone rescued him this morning, and a doctor was called as soon as he returned home."
"I knew my limits. It's just some superficial wounds. He should learn his lesson now."
She couldn't understand what she had done to offend him. He always mocked her every time they met. No wonder his engagement was called off.
Hong Ying: "Miss, do you think Young Master Shangguan will guess that you were behind last night's incident?"
"Everything requires evidence. Does he have any? Without evidence, it's just slander."
Even if he knew she did it, so what? As long as she didn't admit it, no one could do anything to her. Besides, he couldn't beat her in a fight. He was just a loser, not worth worrying about.
She wondered what Qingyi was doing and why they couldn't meet for five days.
...
At the cafeteria of Jing University.
Feng Qingyi and Shen Hanyue each bought a bowl of fish noodles and were eating with relish.
"Qingyi, any updates on that thing from last time?" Shen Hanyue suddenly asked.
Feng Qingyi: "What thing?"
Shen Hanyue: "Don't pretend you don't understand. I'm talking about what happened after I sent you those ab pics of that hot guy."
"...No updates." How could she still remember that?
Feng Qingyi thought for a moment, "Ten thousand a month. If you want to live there, you'll need to transfer five thousand to me every month."
"I really want to see what kind of place you're renting that's so expensive! You can study anytime, it won't hurt to miss these two hours at noon. Hurry up and finish eating, then take me to see it."
After finishing their meal, Feng Qingyi was forced to take Feng Qingci to see the house.
When they arrived at the entrance, Feng Qingci looked at the three-story garden villa in front of him with some shock.
"You really know how to enjoy life, renting a garden villa. You must have spent all your savings on this!"
Feng Qingyi: "If you're here to see the house, just see it. Why are you talking so much? I'm not spending your money. If you want to see it, hurry up!"
After entering the villa, Feng Qingyi sat down on the sofa.
"If there's anything you want to see, go look by yourself. If you really want to live here, remember to pay me the rent."
She thought to herself that his monthly allowance probably wasn't even five thousand, so he shouldn't be able to afford the rent.
Feng Qingci looked around the first floor and then went upstairs. After touring the entire villa, he returned to the living room.
"Be honest with me, why are there men's clothes in that room upstairs?"
Feng Qingyi suddenly remembered that she had hung the clothes she bought for Qin Yuchuan in the guest room closet.
"I just thought those clothes looked nice, so I bought them and hung them up. You never know when they might come in handy."
Feng Qingci gave Feng Qingyi a skeptical look, "Do you think I'm an idiot? There are so many pieces of hanfu in there. They must belong to that Qin guy, right?"
"...Yes, they're his. So what?"
Feng Qingyi couldn't be bothered to make up more lies to fool him.
Feng Qingci: "So you're living together, and you moved out because of him?"
"...You're overthinking it. He only comes occasionally and hardly ever stays here."
"Starting from tonight, I'm moving in. I'll pay the rent on time. I want to see if what you're saying is true."
Feng Qingyi felt helpless, "Where are you getting the money from?"
"I can earn money on my own now, don't worry about it. I'm going back to the dorm to pack my things now, and I've decided I'm going to stay in the room where you hung that Qin guy's clothes."
Feng Qingci left, leaving Feng Qingyi questioning her life choices.
He's willing to pay five thousand a month to live here. Just how much does he dislike Qin Yuchuan?
