Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Handsome Men Keep Chasing After Me

Chapter 266

Liu Qingxu stood there, her eyes glazed over, an atmosphere of pain and sorrow permeating the air. A lump formed in her throat, and for a moment she couldn't utter a single word.

She walked over, knelt down heavily, and wept bitterly. Her scalding tears fell drop by drop into the snow, quickly melting into water and creating a large depression.

She couldn't speak, only tears flowed continuously, she wailed and cried like a helpless little animal, but she dared not cry out loud, suppressing all her grief, crying until she almost fainted.

Nalan Jingwen watched silently, then went out and stood guard at the gate.

There is no moon tonight; the sky is dark and gloomy, without a single ray of light.

She often cannot truly empathize with someone's pain, only understanding that the other person needs time to vent. Therefore, she gives them time and space to finish what they need to do.

People should always move forward with big strides and never stay in one place for too long.

When doing the next thing, you should settle the debts owed from the previous thing.

Nalan Jingwen waited for about fifteen minutes before Liu Qingxu and Shen Chu finally came out.

Liu Qingxu's eyes were red and swollen, with tears still clinging to her eyelashes, but her emotions had calmed down, and she looked at Nalan Jingwen with a firm gaze.

Nalan Jingwen nodded in satisfaction, "In that case, let's go."

Liu Qingxu nodded.

"it is good."

After taking two steps, Nalan Jingwen suddenly stopped and looked at Shen Chu.

"Let's take Young Master Shen back first."

Shen Chu instinctively wanted to refuse, but then she remembered something, glanced at Liu Qingxu beside her, bit her lip, and nodded, "Thank you, Miss."

The two escorted Shen Chu back to the Shen residence. Shen Chu looked at Liu Qingxu with eyes full of reluctance, saying, "You promised to come back and marry me, you must keep your word."

Liu Qingxu did not refuse again, but instead looked into his eyes with a firm expression.

"I, Liu Qingxu, swear that if I break my promise, I will be struck by lightning and never be able to rise again."

Nalan Jingwen glanced at her but didn't say anything. Such oaths shouldn't be made lightly; they really can come true.

After hearing this, Shen Chu released her sleeve. "I believe you."

He was never afraid of Liu Qingxu making a solemn oath that those who betray sincerity should be punished. But she was Liu Qingxu, so if she betrayed him, he would watch her die and then go with her.

When we reach the underworld, we'll become a pair of lovebirds again.

Shen Chu turned towards the gate of the Shen residence. Liu Qingxu stared at his back. Just as his figure was about to disappear, Liu Qingxu suddenly called his name.

"Shen Chu".

Shen Chu turned around.

Liu Qingxu smiled gently. "Thank you."

Thank you for not giving up on me.

Thank you for waiting for me.

Thank you for everything you've done.

Nalan Jingwen stood silently to the side until the two were completely separated, then she lifted her foot and walked in another direction.

Liu Qingxu followed behind her. Nalan Jingwen, annoyed by her slow pace, grabbed her waist, and with a light touch of his toes, flew onto the roof.

Liu Qingxu was too afraid to open her eyes, but she still asked her where they were going.

Nalan Jingwen kept his eyes straight ahead, his figure moving swiftly like a ghost in the night, "The government."

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingxu stopped asking questions and tried his best to lighten Nalan Jingwen's burden.

The two landed on a rooftop without making a sound. Nalan Jingwen looked down at the entire house from his high vantage point, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

The house was dilapidated on the outside, with peeling and rotten walls, but the inside was a completely different story, with carved railings, jade steps, waterside pavilions, and extreme luxury.

The parasites in Hongcheng are truly enormous; it seems that all the money allocated by the capital each year ends up in the pocket of this county magistrate.

Liu Qingxu also frowned. Even the second son in her family, Hongcheng, had never lived such a luxurious life.

Nalan Jingwen didn't speak, but flew down to another rooftop, lifted the roof tiles, and found the room pitch black and devoid of any human presence.

She looked up at another courtyard, which was brightly lit, with people moving about and the occasional sound of laughter drifting over.

Having understood, he led Liu Qingxu to the courtyard and knocked the guard unconscious before he could react, swiftly and decisively.

They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings, powerless to fight back, only good enough to scare the common people.

Liu Qingxu stared wide-eyed, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes.

Nalan Jingwen went straight to the study and instructed Liu Qingxu, "Stay outside and keep watch. Call me immediately if anyone comes."

Liu Qingxu nodded repeatedly.

Nalan Jingwen's figure disappeared into the dark room. Liu Qingxu quickly hid behind a pillar and stared intently outside. There was no light in the room, but fortunately, Nalan Jingwen had good night vision and was not hindered.

She searched the entire study thoroughly, leaving no corner unchecked, but found no useful clues. She stood in the middle of the study, deep in thought, scanning every inch of it.

They then uncovered the priceless antiques and paintings, and turned the neatly arranged porcelain pieces, but found no hidden compartments. It was too clean, and too eerie.

"Miss, are you done? It looks like someone is coming."

Liu Qingxu's voice came from outside. Nalan Jingwen withdrew his gaze and went out, quickly leading her away from the place.

Once they reached a safe location, Liu Qingxu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Miss, how was it? Did you find anything?"

Nalan Jingwen shook his head, "Let's go back first."

Actually, this entire magnificent mansion could be considered evidence, but it's a very weak argument.

The two had just taken a step when a string of silver bells rang out from the void, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Nalan Jingwen stopped and looked in the direction of the sound. Amidst sheer curtains and ethereal mist, a sedan chair was being carried by many exquisitely handsome men. The man in front carried a palace lantern, his robes swirling with vibrant colors, and they approached through the snow.

The person arrived before the voice.

"Tsk tsk, we meet again. Has Your Highness missed me?"

A sweet voice came from inside the tent, where shadowy figures could be seen, with only a woman leaning weakly against two men.

Nalan Jingwen took a step back without showing any emotion, protecting Liu Qingxu behind him.

"What are you here for?"

"What? You're allowed to come, but I can't? What kind of domineering thing is this?"

The woman's voice was light and melodious. The wind gently lifted the snow-white curtains, revealing a pair of jade-like, fair arms inside.

She seemed to flinch and curled up into the man's arms.

Nalan Jingwen looked away, pulled Liu Qingxu along, and walked in the opposite direction, not wanting to say anything more to her.

"Then please do as you wish."

Chang Sheng laughed out loud, her silvery voice captivating, and the men around her stared at her in a daze.

"When you meet an old friend, shouldn't you catch up before you leave?"

Nalan Jingwen didn't even turn his head, pretending not to hear.

"Doesn't Your Highness want to know when your younger brother will die?"

The tall, slender figure suddenly stopped, her sharp gaze fixed on the woman inside the tent. She did not back down at all, her emerald eyes meeting hers gently through the layers of white gauze.

"What did you say?!"
