Duke Jing's younger sister

Shen Li looked up in surprise and looked at him in disbelief.

Luo Cheng was actually a little bit insincere. It was actually fake to say that he didn't care, but it was not the kind of care she thought it was.

Rather, it is a kind of jealousy that drives every part of your body crazy.

Shen Li: "...really?"

"Of course!"

Luo Cheng said firmly, "If you think you are inferior to others because of their mistakes, then you are really wrong. I don't think you are such a pedantic person."

Looking at the gorgeous young man in front of him, Shen Li's eyes suddenly felt hot.

She didn't believe it at first. She didn't believe that there were people who really didn't care.

In this dynasty where women had a hard time making a living, she knew too well what it meant for a woman to lose her innocence.

Luo Cheng's words warmed her heart.

He was telling her that even though she had lost her innocence, she was never inferior to others, and asked her not to belittle herself.

Luo Cheng straightened his expression and continued, "I, Luo Cheng, never play tricks. If you want me to marry you, you must live with me till old age. If you don't want to mention the past, I won't ask you. There is only one thing..."

Shen Li: "What?"

"From now on, there will only be me in your eyes and heart!"

Regardless of whether the man who made her lose her innocence was Shen Beiqi or not, it was an indisputable fact that she liked Shen Beiqi.

Perhaps, that love lasted longer than he thought.

He could accept everything about her past, but the only thing he could not accept was that her heart was always with someone else.

Shen Li lowered her head and thought for a while, then looked up to meet his sharp gaze, "I will try my best, but please give me some time."

The sunlight poured into the room through the lattice windows, forming wisps of golden beams behind the young man in red. He sat with his back to the light, his narrow eyes filled with strong emotions.

After a long time, he curled his lips and smiled, as bright and dazzling as the morning sun in spring.

"Okay, I'll give you some time!"

As soon as the conversation started, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle. Luo Cheng looked at Shen Li for a moment, then raised his hand and held her fingertips.

Shen Li's fingertips trembled slightly, but she didn't refuse in the end.

"In three days, I will ask my mother to come to propose marriage, and within a month, I will welcome you home!"

A stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and Shen Li's recent troubles were half solved.

The other half were the three names uttered by the owner of Wanhua Tower. She had already spent money to hire a man named Chang Si to inquire from various sources.

Chang Si often hangs out in various gambling houses and flower markets, and comes into contact with all kinds of people. It shouldn't be too difficult for him to find out about a few of them.

She would have to wait until she met him today to find out whether the money was worth it.

Coming out of Changqing Building, Luo Cheng asked, "Did you go to Changqing Building to buy silk thread just now?"

Shen Li didn't know why he asked that, so she nodded and said, "Well, let's prepare some five-flowered ropes."

Luo Cheng touched his nose and raised his eyebrows, "Don't you plan to make a silk thread or something to give away?"

Shen Li was startled, then chuckled.

Is this a roundabout way of asking her for the silk thread?

Just before entering Changqing Tower, she made a silk thread, but there was no one to deliver it to her.

Now, we can do it.

"Well, prepare to do it."

Luo Cheng smiled brightly, "Then I'll be waiting."

"Okay, go back and accompany your aunt. I have to go to the teahouse to look for my second sister. It's not good to keep her waiting for too long."

Luo Cheng was reluctant to let her go. "I have an appointment with Xiao Wenyuan to play polo tomorrow. Do you want to come and play?"

She thought about it and thought it would be good to have more contact and improve the relationship, so she nodded and agreed.

"It's agreed. I'll pick you up at the Shen Mansion tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Then I'll leave first?"

Shen Li smiled, "Yeah."

As Luo Cheng walked away, he looked back reluctantly and waved at her from afar across the passing crowd. His already gorgeous face became even more alluring in the sunlight, brimming with the high-spirited spirit of a young man.

Until the red figure could no longer be seen, Shen Li took Xingping and walked in the opposite direction.

She did not go to the teahouse to look for Shen Zhiyan. After walking on the main street for a while, her figure flashed and she turned into the alley on the side with Xingping.

The narrow alley never sees sunlight all year round and is filled with a dark and damp smell. The two walked around in the criss-crossing alleys for a while and finally came to a low courtyard.

Fortunately, I drew some marks on the wall when I came here last time, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to remember it.

The person who lives in this courtyard is Chang Si, and his business is to collect money from people and do things for them.

After getting those names from Mother Wang yesterday, she found Chang Si and asked him to find out the identities and backgrounds of these people.

She took out a clean white face towel from her bosom and put it on, then signaled Xingping to come forward and knock on the door.

After a few "knock knocks", the mottled wooden door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man in black shorts came into view. He looked to be about thirty years old, with a broad face and a scar more than two inches long diagonally on the right cheek, looking somewhat hideous.

Chang Si looked through Xing Ping and glanced at Shen Li standing at the bottom of the stairs, and immediately understood her purpose.

"Girl, please come in."

Chang Si made way for her, spread out his strong arms and invited her into the yard.

Go into the yard?

Shen Li felt that something was wrong, but it was indeed inappropriate to talk standing outside the door.

After thinking it over again and again, she still held the hem of her skirt and followed the man into the yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, the wooden door was closed behind me and even bolted shut.

Shen Li paused for a moment, and with a vague sense of foreboding, she asked in a cold voice, "Why are you closing the door in broad daylight?"

Chang Si smiled lightly, but there was no disrespect in his smile. He said flatteringly, "It's not that I want to close the door. It's your order, and I dare not disobey!"

Noble person?

What noble person?
