Lan Yue got closer to him and said, "We women love to be jealous. If you take me as your concubine, my lady will care about you and will definitely come to see you."

Fu Yan's eyes, which had been lowered, glanced at Lan Yue, "I, take you as my concubine?"

"Yes, Master, if Madam really has feelings for you, she will definitely not tolerate you having other women."

Fu Yan's slender body blocked the light, and Lan Yue in front of her was shrouded in shadow. She still didn't dare to look up at Fu Yan.

"Do you have feelings for me?"

As soon as Fu Yan finished speaking, Lan Yue answered without any hesitation, "Of course, in Lan Yue's life, there is only you, Master."

There was a hint of understanding in Fu Yan's eyes.

It turns out that these words, spoken by one person, are so absurd and ridiculous.

No wonder Jiang Wan sneered and didn't believe himself.

If it were someone else who was treating him the same way, he would just find it funny, just like Jiang Wan.

"You actually have feelings for me, so why are you helping me and Jiang Wan?"

Lan Yue cried softly, looked at Fu Yan with affection, and then quickly lowered her eyes, "Because my love for you has surpassed the secular world. I don't ask for you and I to be together for the rest of our lives, but I ask to relieve your worries, stay by your side, and accompany you until you grow old."

"I don't ask for a lifelong partner..."

Fu Yan pondered over these words and glanced coldly at the person under him, "What you want is money and status, not me, so you don't expect to be together for the rest of your life."

Fu Yan always stood upright, and even when talking, the person in front of him would raise his head to accommodate him.

"You don't deserve to expect to be together forever."

"Master, Lan Yue's feelings for you are sincere." Lan Yue mustered up the courage to touch Fu Yan's hand.

"..."

But before he could touch the clothes of the person in front of him, he felt his chest suddenly pierced by a sharp object.

Before she even felt the pain, she was no longer able to breathe.

Sui Lin stood outside and heard the noise inside gradually calm down.

Sighed.

Without further delay, I went in to deal with it immediately.

As soon as he entered the house, he knew that he had served Fu Yan since he was a child, and had never seen Fu Yan like this before.

The whole person seemed to be wrapped in hostility.

No one dared to approach him.

Sui Lin knew that, especially at times like this, he should not allow any more noise in the room.

Without saying a word, he dragged the man with the sword still stuck in his chest away.

……

Qingtao had been staying in Wutong Courtyard to serve, even though the master clearly did not allow her to serve, nor did he assign her any other work.

Her current identity is still the lady's personal maid, but no one dares to order her to do anything.

Since her wife was not around, she had nothing else to do and was so bored that she could only wander around every day.

The moon was rising above the branches, and Qingtao heard someone knocking on her door.

She frowned and looked.

The man in front of him was dressed in black and his face couldn't even be seen clearly.

"Ah..." Qingtao was covered with her mouth and nose by the person in front of her before she could scream.

"it's me."

He pushed Qingtao into the house and revealed his face.

"Zenu?" Qingtao was surprised. "Why are you dressed like this? Are you here to see the lady?"

Although Qingtao couldn't go out, she still kept in touch with Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan also instructed himself that if Zenu came back, he should tell him the location and ask him to go find her.

Qingtao looked at Zenu with envy, "Even you can go to the Madam, but I can't..."

Zenu held the address that Qingtao had stuffed into his hand.

Qingtao smacked her lips, "Go quickly."

I didn't expect that the person in front of me would actually return the paper to me.

Qing Tao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Zenu reached into his sleeve pocket, took out a heavy purse and placed it in Qingtao's hand, pressing down the small piece of paper.

"What's this?" Qingtao pinched the purse. She was money-conscious and knew at the first touch that there were gold ingots inside.

She hurriedly opened the purse, which was full of gold bars!

"You are... rich? In Qingtao's eyes, Zenu is just a handyman for Jiang Wan. I don't know where he made so much money.

"Qingtao, please help me pass these to my wife. I may not be able to stay with her."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Qingtao knew that Zenu, like Qiu Nu, was rescued by the Madam from Ruyi Teahouse.

The two of them should be completely devoted to Jiang Wan.

How come Zenu just left as he said he would?

Zenu took out another thing wrapped in oil paper, "This is what the Madam wanted."

"Oh, oh, please don't give it to me. I can't get out. I can only send a message. Since you are a free man, you can go and talk to your wife yourself. I can't help you."

"Madam...is not at home?" Zenu asked.

"Madam has already moved out of the mansion several months ago."

Qingtao wasn't quite sure what was going on, so she simply told Zenu what she knew.

Qingtao didn't know what Zenu was thinking of, so she took the bag of gold ingots and left. The door was just closed and then opened again. Zenu came in again and took the note from Qingtao's hand before leaving.

Just as Zenu jumped over the wall and left, he heard a slight noise somewhere.

He didn't dare to move and wanted to wait until the man left before leaving.

But I didn't expect that person to stay for a long time.

He quietly went over and took a few looks.

The man himself could not be seen clearly, but judging from what he was wearing, he looked a bit like the followers around Fu Yan.

Zenu looked closely and saw a girl covered in blood lying next to him. The dark red spot on her chest could be seen clearly in the moonlight.

Is this...the girl from Lanyue?

Zenu had seen this person before. She would occasionally come to Madam's Wutong Courtyard, so he remembered her face.

Now she looked clearly dead.

And the person who dragged her was from Fu Yan's side, which means that Lan Yue's death was most likely related to Fu Yan.

Zenu didn't know why he thought of Jiang Wan. Is she safe?

Would a person like Fu Yan, who holds such a high position of power, allow her to leave without his permission?

Zenu watched the people there leave silently, then he flew over the wall.

It was snowing heavily, and the Wutong Courtyard was covered with a thick layer of white snow.

The biting cold wind was beating against the window frames.

"Jiang Wan..." Fu Yan sat on the ground, holding nothing, staring blankly at the snow outside the window.

It seemed that the house in front of me was not this deserted house.

He saw Jiang Wan walking in front of him.

Her eyes were filled with smiles as she called herself her husband.

Jiang Wan said that her dream was what she experienced in her previous life, which means that Fu Yanben had gotten what she wanted.

Once people have something, it is difficult to accept its departure.

He even thought that even if he was just a servant beside her, it would be great as long as he could be by her side.

But even if he had such an idea, it was not allowed. He was the last descendant of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and if he left.

The Fu family has no descendants, so how should my grandmother and mother cope with the situation?

Jiang Wan said that he couldn't give her what she wanted, but what Jiang Wan wanted was also what she wanted.

But he always has his concerns and can't always do whatever he wants.

Jiang Wan......

Can you, wait for me?
