Shen Yiran bowed, turned around and walked out.

The madam was only concerned with serving Fang Yonghao, and when she came down, Shen Yiran was gone.

"Don't worry, he said he will come again."

The madam then felt relieved and continued to entertain the guests.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion reeking of alcohol, Shen Yiran immediately washed off the thick powder on his face.

Fortunately, there was no skin breakage on my face. Although the redness and swelling worsened a little, it was nothing serious.

You shouldn't drink.

But if you don't drink in that situation, there's no way to talk about it.

Shen Yiran leaned on the bed and felt a little dazed.

She didn't want to hear footsteps outside, so she slowly opened her eyes, and it was Bo Jinxiu.

Bo Jinzheng had just returned and saw an unfamiliar man walking out the back door. He was surprised and quickly went up to scold the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper felt aggrieved: "But that's the Third Lady."

Bo Jinxiu didn't understand why Shen Yiran was wearing men's clothes, but seeing that Shen Yiran was drunk, he couldn't help but run after him.

After Bai Zhi went out with the basin of water, Bo Jinxiu immediately seized the opportunity to slip in.

He found Shen Yiran sleeping with his face leaning against the bedpost, and his lustful heart was aroused, so he quietly approached him.

Shen Yiran was so scared that he immediately stood up and looked at Bo Jinxiu.

Instead, Bo Jinxiu was startled and immediately took several steps back. When he reached the door, he squinted his eyes, took one more look, then turned around and ran out.

Shen Yiran squatted down and leaned against the wall, holding his chest, his heart pounding.

Humph, the redness and swelling on the face must be quite scary, but it was also thanks to this injury that I was able to scare Bo Jinxiu away.

Shen Yiran gritted his teeth. He was very angry. He didn't expect Bo Jinxiu to have such thoughts now.

Bai Zhi ran in and looked around the room. Seeing Shen Yiran squatting, she immediately came forward and asked, "Miss, are you okay? I seemed to see a man running out of the room just now."

Shen Yiran helped Bai Zhi sit on the bed, took the sobering soup and drank it, then calmed down and said, "It's Bo Jinxiu."

Bai Zhi immediately lost her temper and spat fiercely: "This lecherous thief actually has such thoughts in mind, how despicable!"

Shen Yiran was listless and fell asleep in a daze. Bai Zhi took care of him until midnight, when she saw Bo Jinnian coming back.

"Is the lady asleep?"

Bai Zhi nodded: "Madam drank a lot of wine when she came back from work. She was worried that she would fall asleep, so she wrote it down."

Bai Zhi handed the note over.

Bo Jinnian didn't understand what Shen Yiran had done, so he unfolded the folded note and looked at it.

"Wang Miao is the illegitimate son of Marquis Yongyi. The Wang family of Langya hopes to make a comeback with him."

Bo Jinnian's expression became uncertain after seeing this line of words.

Bai Zhi looked at Bo Jinnian's expression and didn't dare to say anything. She just said, "My Lord, just tell me what you need."

Bo Jinnian waved his hand: "You go and rest, I'll take care of her."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi nodded happily, looked back at Shen Yiran, and went downstairs.

Bo Jinnian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Shen Yiran affectionately. He couldn't help but reach out and touch her swollen cheek, only to feel it was hot.

"Bai Zhi, are you leaving?"

Bai Zhi was just outside, and came over immediately after hearing the call: "What do you want, Lord?"

"Madam's cheek is a little hot. Go to the ice storage and ask someone to get some ice cubes. Wrap them in a thick towel and send them here. I will help cool down Madam's wound."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi went to do it immediately. After getting the things, Bai Zhi stood behind and watched Bo Jinnian gently test the temperature with his hand before slowly placing it on Shen Yiran's cheek.

Shen Yiran, who had not slept well, felt that his wound was not so painful and itchy anymore, and finally fell asleep peacefully.

Bai Zhi was very happy. She was very worried when Shen Yiran came in.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yiran was targeted by the Xu family as soon as he entered the house. It turned out that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion was a snob. If Shen Yiran was not so powerful, he would definitely be bullied.

Bai Zhi was very happy to follow Shen Yiran to the Marquis' Mansion, but she began to feel troubled by the long-term consequences.

That is, the relationship between the Marquis and Shen Yiran is too respectful, and they don't even sleep in the same room, which makes Bai Zhi very worried.

Now seeing this scene, Bai Zhi no longer worries about anything.

After collecting the towels, she went back happily. Although it was already dawn, she didn't feel tired at all.

When Shen Yiran woke up in the morning, he felt his cheeks felt very comfortable. He looked in the mirror and found that even the ointment had been applied.

The redness and swelling subsided very quickly today, and Shen Yiran was very surprised. It was Bai Zhi who answered her question.

Hearing this, Shen Yiran blushed slightly again, but his heart was very warm.

"By the way, where is the Marquis?"

Bai Zhi immediately said, "The Marquis asked me to tell Miss that he has understood your note and that he is going to do something. He asked Miss to have a good rest and not to run around for him anymore."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran felt that his help was effective and was very happy.

But it was impossible to tell her not to worry.

Shen Yiran was lying on the bed to rest, but his mind was not resting either. He was thinking carefully about what the optimal solution was.

It would be impossible to confront Marquis Yongyi head-on and involve the Langya clan, after all, there was no clue that could implicate them.

If I really file a complaint now, the most I can find is Bo Jinjue.

Unexpectedly, Marquis Yongyi was not just a womanizer, but a man with a deep mind and a long-term vision. For these reasons, he had already brought Bo Jinjue to his side early on.

But Bo Jinjue can’t be persuaded now, otherwise his words would be evidence.

Shen Yiran felt sad for Bo Jinnian as his own brothers were teaming up with outsiders to deal with him.

However, if he had known this earlier, the tragedy that followed could have been avoided. Although it was painful, Bo Jinnian had no choice but to bear it first.

Shen Yiran sighed and turned over.

She couldn't think of a good solution and was anxious to know what Bo Jinnian was going to do.

As an examiner, Bo Jinnian should not approach any candidate. This is against the rules. In a hurry at the time, Shen Yiran did not think this through and was afraid that Hong Ye would be killed.

At this point, I was so worried that I had no choice but to go out on the street again.

All of Bo Jinnian's close associates had left, and no one knew where Bo Jinnian had gone. Shen Yiran came to the yamen to inquire, but heard that Bo Jinnian had gone to the palace.

This is not good. We must not tell the emperor about this!

Shen Yiran was very worried and immediately asked, "How long have you been gone?"

"He left early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Madam, is there something urgent? When the Marquis comes back, we will help convey it."

Shen Yiran just shook his head and got on the carriage.

It seems it's too late.

There is no evidence at all. If I give it to Your Majesty but cannot prove it, I will be accused of frame-up.

By then, Marquis Yongyi and his gang will surely do their best to add insult to injury. Even the emperor may not be able to protect Bo Jinnian.

What exactly does Shen Liang know?

Shen Yiran ordered the coachman to go to Shen Mansion, but was stopped by Bai Zhi.

"Miss, you can't go there again. The master has said that you should never set foot in the Shen family again. If you go there, the master will be ruthless and it will be very dangerous!"

But, I have to go!

Shen Yiran ordered forcefully: "Is it not possible for me to go see Shen Li?"

Bai Zhi couldn't persuade him, and her face was full of worry.

Shen Yiran's carriage stopped at the Shen family. Bai Zhi was about to persuade him, but she recognized the carriage from the Marquis' Mansion.

"Miss, look, isn't that the carriage of our mansion? There's a lantern with the Chinese character 'Bo' hanging on it!"
