Chapter 59 Jiangcheng 17 Discovering He Likes You

Shen Yingsi lowered his voice: "They're all for you."

Wen Li's anger subsided immediately, and she lowered her head to ask, "Really?"

"Well, really."

Wen Li carefully pulled the pile of beautiful river lanterns in front of Shen Yingsi to her own side.

Xie Xiao noticed their situation and reminded them, "You can't just give this away randomly. I heard them say..."

"Sigh! Where's Xie Xiao, and that Zhao Sicheng? I haven't seen him for days!"

Wen Li protected the river lantern and hurriedly interrupted Xie Xiao, changing the subject.

As expected, Wen Li's question steered the conversation to Zhao Sicheng.

"They say that after the Thousand Lantern Festival, the Zhao family will hold a triennial general election. Through the competition, some people will be selected to go to the main family in the capital, and some children with spiritual roots will be selected in Jiangcheng to become disciples of the Zhao family. Some rogue cultivators in Jiangcheng can also join the Zhao family through the competition. The Zhao family attaches great importance to this election, so these past few days he and Uncle Zhao Er have led many Zhao family members to the mountains behind the Zhao mansion to cultivate."

So professional! No wonder the Zhao family climbed the ranks so quickly.

Aunt Song asked, "Is the spiritual energy abundant in the back mountain where you cultivate?"

These past few days, she's been cultivating in the courtyard, but she hasn't been able to really unleash her full potential, and her cultivation hasn't improved much.

"It is said to be the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Jiangcheng City. The Zhao family built their mansion here to guard this mountain."

"Oh! Aunt Song, let's go take a look together later."

Wen Li was tired of making river lanterns; she simply couldn't sit still any longer.

Xie Xiao said discontentedly, "Why did you only invite Aunt Song? There are two grown men here, Fourth Brother and me!"

"I just want to go with Aunt Song. I'm so used to being her little tagalong."

"How about now? I've almost finished making these river lanterns," Aunt Song said to Wen Li, putting down the lanterns she was holding.

“Great! I can take Second Master with me! There are many people and rivers outside the Zhao residence. It’s uncomfortable for it to go out with a rope on, but I’m afraid it will fall into the river if it’s not on a rope. It must be unhappy being kept in the backyard of the Zhao residence these past few days. It’s a good opportunity to take it there for some fresh air.”

Thinking of this, Wen Li put down the river lantern in her arms, ran over, took Aunt Song's hand, and walked outside.

Watching their retreating figures, Xie Xiao turned around and saw that Shen Yingsi had stopped what he was doing and was staring motionlessly at the river lanterns piled up in front of Wen Li's table.

"Fourth Brother, you're amazing! These river lanterns are so exquisite and beautiful!"

After praising Shen Yingsi and seeing that he had no reaction, Xie Xiao lowered his head and began making his own river lantern, lost in his own thoughts.

It's a pity that Sweetie isn't here, otherwise she might have liked it.

After a long while, Shen Yingsi looked away, as if mocking himself.

"What's the use of being pretty if you can't just be thrown away?"

Shen Yingsi's voice was so soft it seemed to drift in the air, making it impossible to catch.

Wen Li walked down the street arm in arm with Aunt Song, thinking about where she would rebuild the Jiang family after Shen Yingsi's corruption level dropped to zero and after she investigated the Jiang family case.

Why don't we go back to Zishui City in the South China Sea? It doesn't snow there in winter and it's not very cold.

Wen Ligang thought the idea was good, but then she thought again that the people from the South China Sea had been at odds with her since childhood, and the disciples she would take in in the future might be those people or their children!

No! She can't repay evil with kindness! She has to go somewhere else!

However, Shen Yingsi's "darkening value" has dropped to 70%, so it's time to coax Si Xiaxia.

"Ah Li, have you noticed?"

"Huh? What did you find?"

Aunt Song's words suddenly pulled Wen Li out of her thoughts.

Aunt Song looked at her blank expression and shook her head, saying, "It seems you didn't notice."

Seeing Aunt Song's mysterious expression, Wen Li became curious and nudged Aunt Song's arm to continue asking.

"What? What did they find?"

"Discovering a person's secret."

"Who is it?"

A secret of one's own, Wen Li thought of Zhao Sicheng, Wen Mingzhu, and Xie Xiao.

"Shen Yingsi".

Wen Li's doubts deepened. Shen Yingsi? What other secrets did he have that she didn't know? She even knew everything about his past life.

"What secret?"

Seeing Wen Li like this, Aunt Song thought of Shen Yingsi again. That child was too kind, and she still had to help him.

"Haven't you noticed that he likes you?"

Wen Li stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with confusion. After a few seconds, she looked at Aunt Song and forced a smile: "How could that be?"

how is this possible.

After saying that, Wen Li felt relieved and said casually, "Aunt Song, can you please stop making such unrealistic jokes? He likes me? Impossible!"

"Why isn't it possible?"

"I'm not good enough, there aren't many people in this world who would like me."

"No, it's fine to me, and maybe even better in his eyes."

Wen Li remained silent, secretly thinking about Aunt Song's wild ideas.

So many people like him, why would he like me?

Seeing Wen Li's head bowed and her silence, Aunt Song said again, "I used to be just as insecure as you, but Ah Li, when you like someone, you can't hide it in your eyes."

Wen Li didn't quite understand what Aunt Song meant, so she remained silent, and Aunt Song didn't say anything more either.

Aunt Song's gaze drifted into the distance, and her thoughts drifted away as well.

Wen Li didn't notice, and neither did anyone around them. Perhaps the boy was hiding it too well, or perhaps the matter was simply unbelievable. How could His Highness the Crown Prince, who protects all living beings, secretly fall in love with an orphan girl burdened with sins?

If it weren't for the fact that everyone got separated while they were out on the street that time, and she hadn't flown onto the roof and noticed the way Shen Yingsi looked at Wen Li.

The crowd was chaotic, and everyone was wearing masks, but his gaze never missed a single one.

Shen Yingsi hid it very well, at least better than her. Unlike her back then, when she just realized she liked someone, the whole world knew.

Once she reached the backyard, Wen Li stopped dwelling on Aunt Song's joke. As soon as she got closer, she heard the Second Master calling out.

"Second Master!"

Wen Li let go of Aunt Song's hand, opened her arms to Second Master, and Second Master immediately rushed into her arms.

"Wang Wang Wang..."

Wen Li patted the Second Master's head tenderly; it must have been cooped up in the backyard these past few days!

"Aren't you spoiling your dog too much? No dog is raised like that."

Wen Li frowned, puzzled, and asked, "How is it? Is there a problem?"

Aunt Song looked at the exquisite wooden house in the backyard, specially made to fit the Second Master's size. It was taken out of Wen Li's storage bag and prepared specifically for the Second Master who accompanied her on her business trip.

The wooden house was made of purple wood, and the plaque on the door was made of gold, with the three large characters "Second Master's Residence" engraved on it. The inside was thickly lined with the finest cotton.

In front of the wooden house, there is a golden bowl, which is specially for Second Master to drink water; he uses a different bowl for eating.

Then look at that stray dog ​​adorned with gold and silver; its entire aura is built on that outfit.

“My family used to keep a dog, but it was just for guarding the house, and we just let it sleep in the woodshed. If you go out, carrying such a big thing will take up a lot of space in your storage bag. Why don’t we just leave it behind?”

Upon hearing this, Wen Li looked around the wooden house. This thing had indeed taken up a lot of space in her Qiankun bag before.

However, she now has a jade pendant space, which is much larger than a Qiankun bag, and it contains a lot of money.

It seems I'll have to get a bigger one for Second Master when I get back this time.

"It really should have been thrown away."

When Aunt Song saw that Wen Li agreed, she was still thinking that she could actually listen to her.
