I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 4 The man who brought shame to the Shen family!

"Miss, the candied fruit, sugar figurines, snowflake cakes, and water chestnut cakes you want..."

A round-faced girl with two buns came back quickly, holding a dozen snacks.

As soon as he got on the carriage and saw the scene in front of him, his eyes widened and he stammered, "Miss, you, you, you..."

"It's Phuket Island. He broke in by sending some salt."

Shen Zhixia swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that was stuck in his throat, pounded his chest hard, and finally calmed down. "He said he was the right deputy governor... governor..."

"Right Vice-Minister of the Imperial Court?"

Qing'er calmed down and said with a frown.

Shen Zhixia nodded, "Yes, the son of the Right Vice-Minister of the Imperial Censorate, and he asked me to send him home."

Qing'er took a deep breath and asked, "Miss, do you remember why we came out here?"

"Of course I remember. I was hungry, so I came out to look for food." Looking at Qing'er's gloomy eyes, Shen Zhixia added, "By the way, I'll go find that bastard and ask for an explanation."

Qing Er pointed at Chen Mo and gritted her teeth, "We have been waiting here for half an hour, waiting for him! He is Chen Mo! The man who unilaterally broke the engagement for a prostitute and brought shame to the entire Shen family!"

Shen Zhixia was stunned when she heard this.

He reached out and picked up Chen Mo, looking him over carefully.

Her face is as white as porcelain, as beautiful as jade, and her facial features are clearly defined as if they were carved by a knife.

Even with his eyes closed, a hint of familiarity could be seen between his brows.

——It really is her “fiancé” whom she hasn’t seen for many years.

"Miss, what do you think?"

"It looks good, I love watching it."

"???"

"I mean, what do you think about this matter?"

Qing'er stamped her feet and said indignantly, "Look at how weak and listless he is. He must have done something shameful with that vixen!"

"In broad daylight, you've just broken off your engagement and you're so dissolute, and you're even riding in the same carriage with me... If this gets out, how will you live your life in the future?"

Shen Zhixia pinched her round and smooth chin and nodded, "That makes sense."

Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief, "So..."

"So why don't you just keep it secret?"

"..."

"Anyway, you're the only one who knows about this. If I hear any gossip, I'll beat you with a stick."

"..."

Qing'er looked like she was constipated.

"Pfft."

Shen Zhixia smiled and rubbed her little head with her hand. "Alright, I'm just kidding. What does other people's opinions have to do with me? Besides, he just tore up the marriage certificate. He didn't get the consent of the elders, nor did he formally cancel the engagement, so I am still Chen's fiancée in name."

"But Miss..."

Qing'er wanted to say something, but Shen Zhixia interrupted her and said, "Anyway, send him back first, and we can talk about other things later."

"Yes."

Qing'er sighed.

Since her master had spoken, she naturally dared not disobey.

She glared at the unconscious man and walked out of the car, twisting her slender waist.

Shen Zhixia looked at Chen Mo, an inexplicable look flashed in her eyes. She grabbed his wrist and passed a ray of true energy over.

After a moment, her eyebrows raised slightly.

"The meridians are disordered, the Qi is exhausted, and the body is severely overdrawn. It seems that he has just fought a strong enemy."

"Are you here to meet your lover, or to seek out your enemy?"

……

Qing'er came to the front of the car, jumped onto the seat lightly, and pulled the reins and shook them violently.

"drive!"

The horse neighed and galloped along the street.

The petite figure seemed to be riding two tall horses with ease. This incongruous scene attracted a lot of attention.

"Looking at the patterns, it looks like the Shen Mansion's carriage?"

"General Shen has issued a rule that no member of the Shen family is allowed to enter or leave places of entertainment. Who is so bold as to openly come to this brothel?"

"Just now I saw that carriage parked near Yunshui Pavilion..."

Everyone was talking about it.

The Jiaofangsi, as the largest den of brothel in Tiandu City, occupied half a city block and had thousands of registered singing girls and musicians.

Among them, there are only five "oiran".

Each of them has been strictly selected, and they are all top-notch in appearance, family background, and knowledge, and they have their own strengths in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.

Yunshui Pavilion is the residence of Gu Manzhi, the "Qin Fairy". It has its own gate and courtyard, and the environment is quiet. Only invited guests are qualified to enter.

At this time, a pot-bellied man said, "In my opinion, the Shen family must be here to seek an explanation."

Others wondered, "What does this mean?"

"You don't know yet?" The fat man looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "Just today, Chen Mo tore up the marriage certificate in public and asked to cancel the engagement. The Shen family was furious!"

"break off an engagement?"

"real or fake?"

There was an uproar all around.

"I have a nephew working in the Shen Mansion. This is absolutely true!"

Seeing that he was being questioned, the fat man looked unhappy and threw out another "big news": "And I heard that Miss Shen has achieved success in martial arts and has left Wusheng Mountain and returned home to visit her family!"

"The martial arts fanatic who ranked sixth on the Qingyun Ranking is back?"

"Oh boy, this time we're going to have some fun."

"The Chen and Shen families are old friends, why did it get to this point?"

"Needless to say? In the entire Tiandu City, who doesn't know that Chen Mo is infatuated with Gu Manzhi?"

"For the sake of an oiran, he was willing to turn against the general's mansion... This Master Chen is truly a romantic man."

"Beauty is a disaster..."

The discussion became more heated.

In the crowd, a gray figure slowly retreated and disappeared into the shadows.

……

Jiaofangsi, Yunshui Pavilion.

In the bedroom, Gu Manzhi sat cross-legged with a green light appearing between her eyebrows. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a miniature version of a Buddhist scripture.

"The green light protects my body, covering my body..."

As she chanted the spell in a low voice, the pages of the book slowly turned, and the characters poured out like a tide and continued to sink into her body. Her pale cheeks gradually regained their color, and her breathing became much steadier.

But this only temporarily suppressed the injury.

The power of those eight palms was too fierce.

Even though the "Jade Mirror" absorbed some of her strength, it still nearly killed her, as the fire poison contained in it continued to burn her heart meridians.

If you want to fully recover, you will need at least several months of recuperation.

"I underestimated him."

Gu Manzhi sighed.

No matter how many tricks a sorcerer has, he still needs space to use them, and he cannot stand being approached by a warrior.

Relying on the fact that she was at a higher level than Chen Mo, she inevitably became a little overconfident. She didn't expect Chen Mo to be so strong and so ruthless!

That cold and ruthless look was completely different from before!

Now that I think about it, all my previous care and concern for her was just a passing fancy...

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Saint Gu, who is known for playing with people's hearts, would be hurt like this by a man?"

At this time, a teasing voice sounded.

The shadow in the corner twisted, and a figure wrapped in a gray robe walked out.

Gu Manzhi frowned, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm here to laugh at your joke."

"Isn't that guy obsessed with you? How come you spend all day hunting geese and end up getting your eyes pecked by a goose?"

The gray-robed man had a hoarse and piercing voice, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman.

"He who plots against others will be plotted against by others, but they are just calculating against each other."

Facing the ridicule, Gu Manzhi remained calm and said, "Chen Mo came prepared this time and saw through every move I made... I didn't lose unfairly."

"is it?"

The gray-robed man hugged his shoulders and said in a playful tone, "But don't you find it strange? Since he knew it was a trap, why did he risk his life and come here alone?"

"In the end, I could have killed you, but I still let you live?"

Gu Manzhi's eyes flickered slightly.

This is also what puzzled her.

With her status, whether killing or capturing alive, it would be a great achievement for Chen Mo.

There's no reason to let her go so easily...

Especially the last few words, which seemed to be reminding her to leave as soon as possible.

"What exactly do you want to say?" Gu Manzhi said in a deep voice.

The gray-robed man shrugged. "I heard that Chen Mo broke off the engagement in public for you and even broke up with the Shen family... Is it possible that he didn't intend to plot against you at all, but really fell in love with you?"

Gu Manzhi was struck by lightning when she heard this, and she was completely stunned.
