Ting Hu Hu: My wife ran away, then she came back, and I didn't do anything.
Chapter 120 It's been tough on you.
Upon hearing this, Feng Muting immediately stood up and ran straight to Su Fuliu's room without saying a word.
When he reached the door, he angrily kicked it open and strode inside.
Sure enough, Su Fuliu was nowhere to be seen; all that could be seen were her clothes lying on the ground.
It was obvious that Su Fuliu had knocked out the servants, changed into their clothes, and run away.
He wondered why Su Fuliu had been so quiet these past few days; it turned out she was plotting how to escape!
He said he'd agree to anything as long as he didn't run away from home, so why did he still run away?!
Does he really have absolutely no lingering feelings for him?!
Su Yan rushed over, glanced at the door that had been kicked open again, and felt a buzzing in his head.
He wondered if he should suggest to their prince that Su Fuliu's room should no longer have a door.
Alternatively, you could hire a door repairman to live at your home.
He went inside and saw Feng Muting furious, about to order someone to bring Su Fuliu back.
So he quickly went over, moved closer to him, and whispered a few words.
After hearing this, Feng Muting's burning anger instantly vanished.
Then, in a kind tone, he said to Su Yan, "Find someone to fix the door."
After saying that, he strode away.
Liu Suyan stood there sighing at the door: "Three days to repair it, and another three days to fix it. Door, you've had a hard time!"
Inside the Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Su Fuliu was still standing there with her hands on her hips, waiting for Qin Shi.
Just as he was about to ask Qin Shi when he would arrive, Qin Shi rushed over in a flurry.
Before Qin Shi could even stand still, Su Fuliu said, "You've finally arrived, Grand Pavilion Master Qin. You've been so busy! After tricking me, who are you going to trick next?"
"When did I ever betray you?" Qin Shi replied, his eyes gleaming.
"What do you think? You took my gold but didn't do anything for me. I came to you last time for this very thing, but I was stupid and you fooled me again. You tricked me back to the palace, and you managed to pocket the gold without lifting a finger."
Su Fuliu launched into a long lecture, scolding Qin Shi.
This made him even more confused. He dared to be fierce even to the leader of the assassin organization, so why was he afraid of Feng Muting?!
He thought about it and figured it was probably because of the difference in employment relationships.
Qin Shi didn't refute anything, but instead asked, "So what's your situation now? You've escaped from the Prince's mansion again?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Yes."
"Isn't it good to stay in the Prince's mansion? Why do you keep running away? I've seen you three times, and you've run away three times," Qin Shi said.
Su Fuliu pouted: "I can't explain it to you. Anyway, I'm leaving now. I came to you to give you two choices: one is to come with me and protect me until I find a safe place; the other is to return my little gold. Don't think I'm being unreasonable. Just return half of it. Is that fair enough?"
“Once something is in my pocket, I will never return it, so I can only choose the first option.”
"Alright, then you'd better come with me right now, or the prince will come and arrest me. Don't try to fool me this time and persuade me to go back!"
Qin Shi stared at Su Fuliu and asked, "So where do you plan to go?"
"Hmm... I haven't decided yet." Su Fuliu didn't think too much about it; she just wanted to leave the capital first.
Qin Shi rolled his eyes and replied, "How about this, to make up for my mistake of advising you to go back, I'll take you to a safe place to stay?"

Chapter 121 Leave it to fate
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu looked at Qin Shi suspiciously: "You're that kind of person?"
"Isn't this to make up for my mistake?" Qin Shi replied.
"You're not up to any bad intentions, are you?" Su Fuliu asked again.
Qin Shi shook his head: "I guarantee with my reputation as the head of Xuanyuan Pavilion that I have absolutely no bad intentions. I just want to help you out. After all, you don't even know where to go."
Su Fuliu thought about it and felt that Qin Shi didn't seem to have any reason to harm him.
After all, this wasn't the first time we'd dealt with each other.
He should be someone you can trust.
Anyway, he really had nowhere to go.
So he nodded: "Alright then, I'll go with you!"
Qin Shi smiled and said, "Alright, let's ride horses. It'll be faster that way. You can't ride a horse, can you?"
“I will…” Su Fuliu replied.
Qin Shi was taken aback: "You can actually ride a horse?!"
After saying that, he looked Su Fuliu up and down.
I just felt that someone like Su Fuliu was definitely not the type to ride a horse.
But he ended up being able to ride?
"Um……"
"You, the top courtesan of the Forget-Worry Pavilion, actually know how to ride a horse?" Qin Shi still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Of course, the most important thing is that if Su Fuliu knew how to ride, she wouldn't be able to share a horse with him.
"...What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?" Su Fuliu said with dissatisfaction.
It's not surprising that he can ride a horse.
Does he look like he can't do anything?
"No, that's not it. I'll go prepare." With that, Qin Shi turned around and went to prepare the horses.
Just as Su Fuliu thought that Qin Shi didn't need to personally prepare the horses, she saw Qin Shi return very quickly.
"Let's go," Qin Shi called out.
Su Fuliu nodded and quickly walked over.
Once outside, Su Fuliu was taken aback: "Just one horse?"
"Well, there's only one horse left," Qin Shi said without batting an eye.
"There's only one left. Then why did you ask me if I could ride a horse?"
"Can't I just ask casually?" Qin Shi replied.
"..." Su Fuliu was speechless for a moment.
Qin Shi mounted his horse and then reached out to him: "Come on, get on!"
Su Fuliu grabbed his hand and was then pulled onto the horse.
He clearly intended to sit behind Qin Shi, but after coming up, he sat directly in front of Qin Shi.
That's a bit strange.
But as soon as he mounted the horse, it started running.
They didn't give him a chance to change positions at all.
Su Fuliu pouted, resigned to making do.
Otherwise, it would waste time and it wouldn't be good if Feng Muting found out.
Qin Shi gripped the reins, holding Su Fuliu in his arms. Su Fuliu couldn't see his expression and didn't know that he was secretly smiling.
They traveled through the night and arrived at a place called Yulongzhai just before dawn.
Looking at the tall gate, Su Fuliu had a feeling that she was about to enter a bandit's den.
Mountain bandits and gangs usually set up camp in the mountains, right?
After dismounting, he deliberately distanced himself from Qin Shi: "You...you don't also work as a slave trader, do you?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi couldn't help but smile: "Isn't it a bit too late to worry about these things now?"
Su Fuliu thought to herself, "I don't think I'll be that unlucky..."
"Qin Shi, I trust you so much, you mustn't let me down!" Su Fuliu knew it was too late to say these things now.
Since everyone's already here with Qin Shi, they can only leave it to fate...
Chapter 122 Climbing onto the Roof and Removing Tiles
"Alright, stop overthinking. If I wanted to sell you, I would have done it long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Qin Shi said with a smile, looking at Su Fuliu's worried expression.
"That's true." Su Fuliu thought Qin Shi was unreliable, but in the few times she had interacted with him, she hadn't done anything to harm him.
"Let's go." Qin Shi said, then went over, had someone open the gate, and led Su Fuliu inside.
Once inside, everyone who saw Qin Shi called him "Chief".
Su Fuliu followed behind, looking at the people, men and women. This place was like a town, only it was a town hidden in the mountains.
He thought for a moment, then said softly, "Qin Shi..."
"Hmm?" Qin Shi turned around and glanced at him.
"Do all these people owe you money?" Su Fuliu asked.
Qin Shi frowned, somewhat puzzled: "What makes you say that?"
