Chapter 1940 Loop
He wanted to reach out to take it again, but thinking of yesterday, he hastily retracted his hand and pulled Wan Shufang to the side to avoid it. Chen Changli had a bad feeling and frowned: "Shufang, hurry up, it's this evil spirit again."
"stop!"
"That young man, since you accepted my bouquet, you should marry me!" Nalan Ying flew forward, looking energetic, with a light in her eyes, as if there had never been any grudge between them.
Seeing Nalan Ying looking like she had just seen him, Chen Changli frowned and said, "I didn't catch it. Your hydrangea fell to the ground."
"you!"
Nalan Ying didn't seem to expect him to be so vicious, and her face turned gloomy in an instant. Realizing what she was going to do again, Chen Changli's heart sank, and he took advantage of Nalan Ying's unpreparedness and suddenly attacked her.
Nalan Ying dodged hurriedly, and when she came to her senses, Chen Changli had already pulled Wan Shufang away and disappeared into the crowd, making her unable to find him anymore.
"Damn it, they actually dared to attack me. Come, check it out. I want to see where these two people came from." Nalan Ying was furious and stomped on the hydrangea to vent her anger.
The servants said nothing and silently followed the order to check the identities of Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.
At this time, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang also followed the route they remembered and came to the stall of the old woman selling hairpins. There were still the same hairpins on the stall as yesterday.
Wan Shufang frowned and said softly, "Old lady, do you have any other styles of hairpins?"
The old woman shook her head and coughed, "Girl, I am old and can't make other styles. I can only make this."
The answer was the same as yesterday. Chen Changli and Wan Shufang looked at each other, and the solemnity in their eyes became more intense. She put down her hairpin, said a few perfunctory words, and the two of them left arm in arm.
In order to verify their guess, this time, the two of them still hid in the dark, watching the hairpins in front of the stall being sold out, and then returned to the inn, where they saw Nalan Ying coming in aggressively at the door of the inn.
"I finally caught you two. I tell you, the hydrangea is heading for you. You are my destined husband. Today, you have to marry me whether you want to or not."
Nalan Ying rushed to Chen Changli with an arrogant tone, still looking at Wan Shufang with a mocking look. Everything seemed to be the same as yesterday. Chen Changli turned his head and his eyes met Wan Shufang's.
When their eyes met, a hint of doubt appeared in the eyes of both of them. Seeing that Nalan Ying was relentless in pursuit, they ordered their men to take action to capture Chen Changli.
Chen Changli's face turned cold and he attacked Nalan Ying just like he did yesterday. Not long after, Qian Er came and drove Nalan Ying away with a few words.
"Chen Changli, this is too weird..." Looking at the scene in front of her, Wan Shufang murmured, her hands involuntarily grasping the corner of Chen Changli's clothes.
The two sent Qian Er away and returned to the inn. They sat in the room. Ming He also rushed over. Seeing the two people's faces full of disbelief, she immediately became anxious: "Chen Changli, Wan Shufang, what happened? Why do you have such expressions when you go out?"
It looked like the sky was falling, and Minghe was extremely anxious.
Seeing the anxiety on Minghe's face, Wan Shufang pursed her lips and told her everything that happened when she went out today: "Our experience today is exactly the same as yesterday."
"Even Nalan Ying seemed to be seeing us for the first time, even though we had just made such a fuss yesterday."
The only difference is that Chen Changli avoided the hydrangea, so Nalan Ying's method of forcing marriage became the idea of a destined husband.
Wan Shufang's words made Minghe's eyes widen involuntarily. She walked up quickly and asked again in disbelief, but the answer she got was still the same.
"It's like this is a cycle that keeps happening."
"How is this possible..." Minghe murmured to herself. She found it hard to accept such weird and superstitious talk and thought Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were joking.
She looked at the two men without blinking, but she didn't see any sign of joking on their faces. Their expressions were exactly the same, both extremely serious. She frowned and said, "This is impossible."
"By the way, Qian Er, didn't Qian Er leave someone at the inn yesterday to protect us and prevent Na Lanying from causing trouble?"
As she spoke, Minghe seemed to have found her backbone, her little face full of joy, and she tapped the table with her fingers, making a regular tapping sound.
This is a unique signal of Tiancang Pavilion, used to summon the surrounding secret guards.
But no matter how long she knocked, she finally became impatient and there was no response from anyone, so Minghe stopped.
"No one, how could there be no one?"
Seeing this, Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were equally shocked. Even the people left by Qian Er were missing. With a sinking heart, Chen Changli whispered, "We have to go to the tea shop to find Qian Er."
"Okay, go now."
Minghe stood up first, eager to find out what was going on. The three of them went to the teahouse to find Qian Er, and got straight to the point, asking why the people who stayed yesterday were not in the inn.
Qian Er looked puzzled. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Master, I have not received any instructions, nor have I arranged for anyone to guard the inn."
When these words were spoken, all three of them were shocked, and the private room suddenly became quiet, leaving only the slightly rapid breathing of a few people. Chen Changli stared at Qian Er with sharp eyes for a long time, and when he saw that his expression did not seem fake, he suddenly felt confused.
"What is going on? How could there be no such thing? Yesterday, you went to the inn and drove Nalan Ying away. I personally ordered you to help send people to protect her." Minghe kept repeating what happened yesterday, hoping that Qian Er could remember something.
But Qian Er just shook his head and said, "Master, you remembered it wrongly. I didn't go to the inn yesterday. I went there today. Driving Nalan Ying away also happened today. However, you didn't let me send anyone over."
Hearing this, Minghe stopped talking, but his face was full of disbelief. He kept backing away, and finally fell into the chair, shaking his head like a rattle.
Wan Shufang and Chen Changli also fell silent, thinking that all this was too fantastic. The group sat on the chairs and no one spoke first. Suddenly, Wan Shufang's eyes flickered for a moment, and her gaze fixed on a familiar object not far away.
She walked forward, picked up the hairpin on the table, and held it in front of Qian Er: "Manager Qian, where did you buy this hairpin?"
"This one is at the southern end of the city. Last time, I helped the two adults check the stall owner's address. I thought it looked good, so I bought one too. I wanted to bring it back to my wife, but I haven't had time to go home yet."
Hearing this, Wan Shufang suddenly understood something. Qian Er also bought a hairpin. Although he didn't wear it on his head, he wore it all the time because he couldn't go home.
Therefore, he was also affected by the hallucinogen, and the stall owner selling hairpins was the biggest suspect in this matter!
