Shen Ruoyan felt furious when she saw Lu Yan's action.

It was true that she wanted to break off the engagement with Lu Yan, but seeing Lu Yan betray her and hook up with other women was another matter!

After walking to stand in front of the two of them, Shen Ruoyan took on the attitude of a host and asked Su Xihe:

"Why are you here, Miss Su?"

Su Xihe forced out an awkward smile and pretended to be calm:

"I heard that Mr. Lu is ill, so I came to take a look."

"Let you, a woman who has not left the imperial court, come to visit Mr. Lu alone?" Shen Ruoyan glanced sideways at Lu Yan and said rudely, "The rules of the Taifu family are really hard to understand."

Su Xihe's face was stiff and she said bravely:

"Grandpa is concerned about Master Lu. Seeing that I still have some deer antlers in the warehouse, I thought that deer antlers have the effect of replenishing yang and blood, which is good for Master Lu's health. Grandpa originally planned to come in person, but before going out, he met several disciples who asked for an audience. Grandpa saw that I happened to be going out, so he asked me to help deliver it."

Shen Ruoyan did not expose Su Xihe's flawed rhetoric, nodded with a smile, and continued:

"Since you are here to visit a doctor, why are you standing here? Even though it is late autumn, there are still a lot of mosquitoes. The mosquitoes in late autumn are the most vicious. Even the most shameless person can give you a big bite. , Miss Su, please be careful."

Su Xihe heard Shen Ruoyan's deliberate sarcasm, and her face turned red and white. She wanted to argue for herself, but she couldn't think of anything to refute Shen Ruoyan, so she could only swallow her sigh.

After scolding Su Xihe in a roundabout way, Shen Ruoyan pointed the finger at Lu Yan again and asked:

"Master Lu, as the master, why don't you know how to invite Miss Su to sit in the hall?"

Facing Shen Ruoyan's accusation, Lu Yan said extremely obediently:

"Ayan taught you the right lesson, I was negligent."

Lu Yan's posture was extremely low, like a child who had made a mistake, standing obediently next to Shen Ruoyan and letting her scold him.

Shen Ruoyan was made very passive by Lu Yan's attitude of proactively admitting his mistake. She couldn't say a lot of the words she prepared later. After all, she had no substantive evidence in her hand. They had sincerely apologized, so she really couldn't blame him for anything.

unless……

Find the purse Su Xihe gave him just now!

"By the way, I saw Miss Su handing you something just now. What was it?"

Shen Ruoyan's attitude changed and she asked Lu Yan softly.

In order to coax him to take out the things obediently, Shen Ruoyan's tone was so gentle that she could squeeze water out of her mouth when speaking.

Lu Yan's eyes suddenly brightened up, he raised his head and looked at Shen Ruoyan softly, with some unconscious endearment in his tone, and said:

"It's nothing."

"Take it out and show it to me. Who knows that Miss Su is very kind-hearted? The thing she sent must be very special. I really want to see it."

Shen Ruoyan asked persistently, not noticing that her attitude seemed to be coquettish.

Lu Yan had a smile on his face, but he refused to take it out and retreated:

"It's really nothing."

Shen Ruoyan was a little tempered by him, and asked with a pouted mouth:

"Could it be something that I can't see?"

"Ayan, if you want everything I have, you can take it."

Lu Yan lowered his head and looked deeply at Shen Ruoyan. When he spoke, his expression was extremely serious, as if he would risk his own life as long as Shen Ruoyan spoke.

Shen Ruoyan was stunned by Lu Yan's sudden serious expression, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

Why is Lu Yan talking about this if he has nothing to do?

Could it be that if I told him to die, he would really die?

For a moment, the two looked at each other, with only each other in their eyes.

Su Xihe, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore.

What do they mean by this, are they going to start confessing affectionately?

Do you treat me like air?

Su Xihe, who had been ignored for a long time, opened her mouth to regain her sense of existence and advised:

"Master Lu, why don't you take that thing out and show it to her."

Shen Ruoyan broke away from Lu Yan's eyes and rolled her eyes at Su Xihe.

Unexpectedly, Su Xihe was so shameless that she actually asked Lu Yan to take out the purse!

However, in order to seize their leverage, Shen Ruoyan pretended to be excited and pulled Lu Yan's sleeves and shook them, saying:

"Look, Miss Su has already opened her mouth. Take it out and show it to me. I'm really curious about what good thing it is."

Lu Yan had no choice but to take the thing out of his sleeve.

The hand with clear joints was holding a purse!

Shen Ruoyan's eyes lit up and she was about to have a seizure when she suddenly realized that this purse looked particularly familiar.

The purse in Lu Yan's hand is only the size of a palm.

The workmanship is very exquisite, with several realistic pomegranate flowers embroidered on the fine Shu brocade. There is also a pearl strung at the end of the rope on both sides. It is bulging inside, obviously filled with things, and has a faint fragrance.

This is clearly a sachet.

What surprised Shen Ruoyan so much was that this sachet was exactly the same as the sachet that her mother and Mrs. Li wore on the hunting ground!

Shen Ruoyan felt a "buzzing" sound in her head, many speculations came to her mind, and her heart became confused.

Why does Su Xihe have this sachet?

Could it be that she sent someone to take away the sachet that disappeared in the forest?

But how could Su Xihe have such great ability? It would be impossible for her to do this.

Could it be that the Taifu was planning something behind this?

The more Shen Ruoyan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she wanted to take the sachet and take a closer look.

Realizing Shen Ruoyan's intention, Lu Yan naturally handed the sachet in his hand to Shen Ruoyan.

Shen Ruoyan took it and took a closer look, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There are no holes in this sachet at all, and no signs of repair can be seen. It is a complete sachet.

Shen Ruoyan instantly figured out what was going on.

Mother once mentioned that on the day of the autumn hunt, the imperial concubine gave a sachet to every lady in the forest.

Su Xihe's mother was also present that day and must have received a sachet as well.

Shen Ruoyan speculated that the sachet in front of her should belong to Su Xihe's mother.

But why did Su Xihe give her mother's sachet to Lu Yan?

Shen Ruoyan looked at Su Xihe doubtfully.

Unexpectedly, the other party raised his chin and glared at me with a very proud look.

Now Shen Ruoyan was even more confused.

What does she mean?

Although Su Xihe didn't do it herself by delivering the purse to Lu Yan behind her back, after all, one was a girl who had not left the court, and the other was an engaged man. How could Su Xihe be so confident in front of her, a decent fiancée?

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but look at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan touched his nose, turned away calmly, his eyes drifting into the distance.
