Shen Ruoyan originally thought that there was not much affection between herself and Lu Yan, and that the ideal situation was for them to complement each other and spend their entire lives together. She never thought that he would be the only one willing to help her when she was in trouble.

Looking at the man standing on the long street, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

If nothing happened later, Shen Ruoyan even thought that she might have gradually fallen in love with Lu Yan from that day on, and put her heart completely into his hands.

Unfortunately, there is never if in the world.

On the way back, Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan were sitting in the carriage. The two were very close, and the faint fragrance of the man floated into Shen Ruoyan's nose.

She wanted to say some words of thanks, but due to the excessive physical exertion and the swaying of the carriage, a heavy sleepiness came over her. Shen Ruoyan couldn't hold it in any longer, so she tilted her head and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, she found herself lying on the bed. Shen Ruoyan rubbed her dizzy head and called out:

"Qin'er."

Soon a small corner of the curtain was lifted, and Qin'er's head poked in from the outside. Seeing Shen Ruoyan wake up, she immediately said to her excitedly:

"Miss, are you finally awake? Do you know that my uncle personally carried you back to the house yesterday?"

Thinking of last night's scene, the little girl couldn't help but blush.

Yesterday, she was sitting in the yard waiting for the young lady to come back. She fell asleep while waiting. In a daze, she saw a tall white figure slowly walking towards her. She was frightened and thought she had met him. Something unclean suddenly made me sleepless.

When Qin'er regained consciousness, she saw clearly that it was her uncle who was walking towards her.

Perhaps because he was afraid of jolting the young lady, the uncle walked very slowly and thoughtfully leaned the young lady's head on his shoulder.

My uncle, who was usually cold and indifferent, had an expression of doting on his face that Qin'er had never seen before, as if he was holding a peerless treasure in his arms.

This picture simply made Qin'er's eyes wide open. Under the moonlight, the beautiful couple, draped in moonlight and with stars above their heads, looked like a talented and beautiful woman who had stepped out of a painting book. They were a perfect match.

Until her uncle left, she still didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Sitting on Shen Ruoyan's bedside, Qin'er giggled for a long time. Could it be that the young lady would be a blessing in disguise this time and live a sweet and happy life with her uncle from now on?

After the little girl finished her report excitedly, she remembered that the young lady went to the prison to visit her family last night. She quickly put away her smile and asked Shen Ruoyan solemnly:

"Miss, did you see the master and his wife yesterday? How is Xiao Changchang? How is the eldest young master and his wife?"

Afraid of scaring Qin'er, Shen Ruoyan didn't tell her about her brother's injury. She only picked up a few good things and told her.

"That's good, that's good." Qin'er patted her heart and her expression relaxed, "Miss, next time you go to see the master and his wife, can you take me with you? I'll make the pastries in advance. They took her there and wanted to hug little Changchang."

Shen Ruoyan nodded as an agreement.

She didn't have time to think about when to visit her parents again, because there was a more important thing waiting for her to do right now——

Get the letter!

Although the matter was important, Shen Ruoyan was not in a hurry to go out. Instead, she asked Qin'er to go to a study in the west of the city.

"Qin'er, help me buy all the books on this list. Remember to be careful when you come back."

The little girl didn't know why the lady suddenly wanted to buy a book, and she just bought a few books, so why should she be careful?

Qin'er responded ignorantly and went out.

About an hour later, the little girl came back.

Handing the book in her arms to Shen Ruoyan, Qin'er asked in confusion:

"Miss, why do you suddenly want to read these books?"

The lady told her to buy today. They are all miscellaneous journals and story books that she would not normally read. She always educates herself to read less story books and more serious books. Why is it that she has read these now? Unfair book?

Shen Ruoyan did not explain, but took the book from Qin'er's hand, checked it carefully, and found that everything was normal.

Putting the books aside casually, Shen Ruoyan took Qin'er's hand and asked:

"Think about it carefully. Did you find anyone suspicious when you came back?"

Qin'er blinked her eyes, thought about it all over again, and shook her head with certainty.

Another day later, Shen Ruoyan took Qin'er to the Miaoyin Temple in the suburbs to pray for blessings. On the way back, she passed by the most famous restaurant in the capital and got out of the car to pack a portion of Dongpo Pork.

After the two of them returned to their small courtyard carrying the food boxes, Shen Ruoyan's heart finally relaxed.

Her unusual behavior in the past two days was actually just a cover to determine if anyone was following her.

Although her visit to her family in the cell that day was secret, there was no guarantee that anyone would know about it.

If she hurriedly ran to get something the next day, she might be targeted by someone with intentions. After all, her father was once the Minister of Household Affairs, so the content in the letter must be very critical and would definitely involve all parties. , she had to be careful.

After confirming that no one was following her, Shen Ruoyan took Qin'er to the address her father told her.

It was an extremely ordinary snack bar. It was opened in a busy market, with an endless stream of people coming and going, and diners coming and going from time to time.

No matter how many people investigated, they would never have imagined that Mr. Shen would hide important evidence in such an inconspicuous shop. Even Shen Ruoyan herself had doubted whether she had remembered the address wrong.

When she reached the entrance of the alley, Shen Ruoyan stopped and said to Qin'er:

"I have to go in later, you just stay here and wait for me."

Qin'er glanced at the snack bar not far away. She didn't understand why the young lady wanted to go in alone, but she also sensed a bit of danger from Shen Ruoyan's serious expression, so she rushed to say:

"Miss, do you want to buy something? You'd better let me in."

"no!"

Shen Ruoyan refused without thinking.

First of all, these things are very important, and she is always worried if she doesn't go there by herself.

Secondly, her family members are all in jail, and Shen Ruoyan has nothing to worry about. If something happens, it will be a fight to the death.

But Qin'er is still young and has a long life ahead of her. Shen Ruoyan doesn't want her to be involved in danger.

Qin'er has been with Shen Ruoyan since she was a child. Rather than being a maid, Shen Ruoyan regards her as his biological sister. If something happens to him, at least Qin'er is still here, so she can think of her.

Being sternly rejected by the young lady, the little girl pouted and wanted to say something else. Shen Ruoyan was afraid that she would mess up when he went in later, so she had to persuade her:

"Leaving you outside is also useful. You are fast on your feet. If I don't come out in the time it takes to burn an incense stick, you can go back and call someone to come help me, right?"

Qin'er finally nodded and promised:

"Okay, I'll stay here and wait for you, miss."
