Shen Qiyin's face turned slightly pale.

Rendong was surprised to see this, thinking that her young lady was always fearless, but she didn't expect that she would be afraid of something as illusory as a "ghost".

So she hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, young lady. There are only people who scare people in this world, where do ghosts come from?"

“…You don’t understand.”

Miss Shen thought to herself, I never believed that there were ghosts in this world.

But the problem is that she was reborn!

If such mysterious things can happen, it’s not surprising that there are ghosts!

How could Ren Dong know this? She patted Shen Qiyin's cold hand and said, "Even if there is, we have done nothing wrong, so we are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

“But that’s a ghost.”

"What happened?"

"People are sometimes unreasonable, let alone ghosts!" What if there is an indiscriminate attack?

"..."

Honeysuckle was not afraid at all, and said, "I will go and take a look."

After saying that, she raised her foot and walked out with a menacing attitude. Let alone the one coming from outside who was a ghost, even if it was the King of Hell, she would give him some sauce to chew.

How could Shen Qiyin feel at ease letting her go out alone, so he followed her.

The door was wide open. Honeysuckle stood at the door and looked around. Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a few small black shadows under the window.

She wanted to walk over, but she seemed to step on something.

When I looked down, I saw it was a small bunch of osmanthus flowers.

When I walked to the window, I found that the two small black shadows were also osmanthus flowers!

She was puzzled. The wind was not strong tonight, so how could it blow the flower down and hit the window with such force?

It looked more like it was thrown by someone...

Thinking of this, Honeysuckle's breathing stagnated and she suddenly turned her head to look at the osmanthus tree not far away!

Someone is there!

In a flash, a black shadow appeared in front of Shen Qiyin like an arrow from a bow.

Her red lips parted slightly, but before she could scream, they were covered by a hand as cold as jade.

At the same time, a voice as cold as the sound of jade struck rang out above her head: "It's me."

He stood in front of her like a wall, blocking most of the moonlight. The hood of his cloak covered most of his face, so Shen Qiyin couldn't tell who he was at all.

But she recognized his voice.

Xiao Yan!

Why is he here in the middle of the night?

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the fair and slender hand in front of him. The hairpin held in the hand was only half an inch away from him, pointing squarely at his heart!

There was no murderous intent in his expression, but he was calm and determined to take the man's life.

It almost succeeded!

Xiao Yan's eyes were as deep as the abyss, and the hand holding her wrist tightened a little unconsciously.

Shen Qiyin gently moved his arm, signaling him to let go of her, and put his other hand on his forearm, pulling down his palm that was still covering her cheek.

Xiao Yan then realized that he had been rude to her in his moment of anxiety.

He quickly loosened his grip on her, took a step back, and put some distance between them.

"……Feel sorry."

The residual warmth in his palm made him slightly dazed.

Seeing Shen Qiyin let out a long sigh of relief, he belatedly asked, "Did I scare you?"

“…It’s okay.” Not scared to death.

But she would never have thought that he would come to see her at this time.

Thinking of something, Shen Qiyin's expression changed slightly: "But is Qianxing in trouble?!"

"she's fine."

"Then what is your Excellency doing..."

But when Rendong heard the word "Sir", she suddenly realized that the person who came was Sir Xiao, the commander of the Thousand Eagle Guards.

Seeing the situation just now, she thought there was an assassin in the mansion.

If she hadn't just heard him say "it's me", she would have guessed that he must be someone the young lady knew, and that's why she didn't shout. Otherwise, her shouting would have blown the roof off the house.

Honeysuckle thought that since he came at night, he must have something important to tell them, so she went to the yard to help them keep watch.

Otherwise, if Banxia got up at night and saw it, it would damage the reputation of her young lady.

But the autumn night was cold, and Jindong was wearing thin clothes. Shen Qiyin was afraid that she would get cold, so he hurriedly called her back and said to Xiao Yan, "Please come in, sir."

Xiao Yan stood there without moving.

If Shen Qiyin looked closely, he would easily discover that in those usually cold and indifferent black eyes, there was a hint of helplessness at this moment.

Unfortunately, Miss Shen didn't see it.

She turned around and went into the house and sat down, even pouring herself a cup of hot tea.

Seeing that Xiao Yan did not follow in, she looked at him puzzledly: "Sir?" Why didn't he come in?

As they were talking, the night wind blew in.

Shen Qiyin sneezed unconsciously: "A-choo——"

The next moment, Xiao Yan took a long step, walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.

"Please come in, sir." Shen Qiyin placed the tea he had just poured in front of him.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on her green hands.

The tooth marks have faded a lot...

Honeysuckle went into the inner room to read, and there were only the two of them in the outer room, sitting opposite each other under the lamp, and there was an odd feeling of quietness.

Shen Qiyin was the first to break the silence: "My Lord, why did you come here so late at night?"

"...Did you meet anyone in front of Eagle Nest Pavilion during the day?"

Shen Qiyin thought for a moment and said, "I met the daughter of the Marquis of Jianning."

"So what did you see?"

Shen Qiyin was silent.

She thought that Xiao Yan probably didn't want anyone to know that he gave Song Tanyan a flute, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over to shut her up.

So he said, “I didn’t see anything.”

"really?"

But didn’t Chen Bao say that she had been staring at the carriage of Marquis Jianning’s mansion for a long time?

Shen Qiyin nodded sincerely, "I didn't see anything that the Lord didn't want me to see."

Xiao Yan: “…”

"The purple jade flute in her hand was not given by me."

“…Oh.” So what?

The candlelight was bright, Shen Qiyin held her cheek with her hand, and stared at Xiao Yan quietly, waiting for his next words.

But there was no further news for a long time.

Xiao Yan looked at those beautiful eyes that were clear and calm. Under the flickering candlelight, there seemed to be a pool of water in her eyes, deep and calm.

No matter how the wind blows, there is no ripple, as if making the person gazing at those eyes calm down as well.

But Xiao Yan felt his heart beating faster and faster.

Shen Qiyin felt a little strange when she saw that he didn't speak for a long time: "Sir?" Why don't you speak?

Xiao Yan suddenly stood up.

She didn’t know if it was Shen Qiyuin’s illusion, but she always felt that his figure was a little stiff.

"…It's late at night, you should go to bed early."

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.

Shen Qiyin looked at the door that closed in an instant, somewhat stunned.

Leaving now?

By the way...why on earth did he come here tonight?

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

go to sleep.

He blew out the candle with a "whoosh" and went to bed. Shen Qiyin fell asleep soon.

A dreamless night.

In addition to seeing patients at Guangrentang, she also had to run between the Marquis' Mansion and Qiying Pavilion in the past two days. She was somewhat tired and got up a little late the next day.

By the time we finished our meal and were ready to go out, it was almost noon.

Shen Qiyin and Rendong had just walked out of Haitang Courtyard, but saw a little maid in the old lady's courtyard leading a man dressed as a Taoist priest towards Zhuijin Hall.

She found a nearby servant to ask.

The other party replied: "That is Taoist Master Jingming."

"The old lady said that things have been unsettled in the mansion lately, so she wanted to ask him to come and see if anything had been offended."

Shen Qiyin found it strange.

For nothing, how could the old lady be willing to spend that much money?

Thinking of something, she immediately changed direction and headed straight for Zhuijin Hall!

Arriving at Old Madam Shen's courtyard, Shen Qiyin did not go in directly, but asked the maid sweeping the courtyard, "Who has visited Grandma in the past two days?"

"Both the master and the mistress have come to see me." The little maid answered honestly, not daring to hide a word.

With the previous experience of Nanny Dai, the servants in this mansion are now more than just respectful when they see Shen Qiyin. To put it more seriously, it's like seeing the King of Hell.

I was afraid that if she was unhappy, she would slap me in the face.

Shen Qiyin didn't realize that the "chicken" he casually killed had alerted so many "monkeys". He just continued to ask, "Where is Aunt Zhou?"

"She was here too." Suddenly remembering something, the little maid said, "Oh, that's right! There was another person who was here too."
