After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

He Wangzhou took Shu Yan back to the Hou Mansion. He didn't ask anything along the way. Even when he arrived at Jinyu Garden, he didn't say a word and just looked at her solemnly.

He was waiting for himself to speak first.

Shu Yan didn't know how much he heard, and he didn't know where to start.

"Go to sleep."

He Wangzhou changed his clothes and went to bed on his own, which made Shu Yan a little confused.

"Don't you ask me why I killed her?"

"Is poking someone in the shoulder called killing?"

He Wangzhou's slightly mocking tone made Shu Yan a little unhappy, but he was right, Shu Yan didn't really want her life.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't ask any more questions. When you want to say it, you can come back and tell me."

Shu Yan is like a lump in the throat.

After sitting beside the bed for a moment, He Wangzhou suddenly put his arms around her waist, hugged her directly, pulled off the quilt, and fell asleep together.

Shu Yan felt warm in her heart, and she felt relieved to get close to his arms, listen to his heartbeat, and fall asleep peacefully.

General's House.

Lin Jinan had just fallen asleep when suddenly the door of her room was kicked open. She was suddenly surprised and stared at Lin Zhongxuan who was walking towards her with a murderous look.

"Brother, brother?"

Without saying a word, Lin Zhongxuan pulled her clothes to her shoulders. Seeing that she had been bandaged, he took out a dagger and opened the bandaged gauze without saying a word. Suddenly, the same wound on Qiu Nan's neck appeared on her shoulder. Lin Zhongxuan came into view.

"What was used to hurt this?"

Lin Jin'an hurriedly pulled up his clothes to cover his injuries.

"Brother, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?"

She had just dodged away when Lin Zhongxuan had already pulled her over.

Not only was there no warmth in his voice, but there was also no warmth in his eyes.

Lin Jin'an's head shook suddenly.

She was avoiding suspicion, but Lin Zhongxuan seemed to be looking at a dead person.

"Hairpin, hairpin."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jinan was pulled off the bed by him and fell heavily to the ground.

He threw the dagger over, "Kill me."

Lin Jinan thought he heard wrongly.

"What did you say?"

"kill me."

Before Lin Jin'an could react, Lin Zhongxuan had already taken action, and Lin Jin'an had no choice but to grip the dagger and fight back.

But after she struck twice in a row, she realized that Lin Zhongxuan was already standing in the distance at some point, watching her unsystematic slashes with cold eyes.

She didn't know why, "Brother?"

Lin Zhongxuan stepped forward, grabbed the dagger, wiped the hilt of the sword that she had grasped with his sleeve, and strode away.

Lin Jinan gritted his teeth, he despised her!
Early the next morning, Shu Yan and He Wangzhou had breakfast, greeted He Zhengyuan, and prepared to set off.

"Where's Zhen Zhi?"

Shu Yan's expression froze for a moment and he subconsciously looked at He Wangzhou.

He Wangzhou indeed looked indifferent.

"You bastard, if you don't have a sense of propriety, why don't you get up at this time?"

He Zhengyuan just called his servants to urge He Zhenzhi, but before the servants could go out, He Zhenzhi had already come over.

"Father."

He first greeted He Zhengyuan, and then greeted He Wangzhou and Shu Yan.

"Brother, sister-in-law." He Wangzhou ignored it and didn't even look at it. Shu Yan nodded to him as a greeting.

After a few words of explanation, another servant came back to report that Nan Huai was already waiting at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

"Father, let's go first."

He Wangzhou turned around and left with Shu Yan, not caring about He Zhenzhi at all.

He Zhenzhi looked embarrassed and had to leave in a hurry and follow them.

Following him to the door, he saw the three of them chatting and laughing. When he saw him coming out, Nan Huai glanced at him indifferently and said, "Congratulations, Second Young Master."

As if he had received a huge compliment, the joy on He Zhenzhi's face couldn't bear to fall.

"I've met Mr. Huai."

Nan Huai withdrew his gaze calmly and continued to talk to them, never talking to him again.

He Zhenzhi knew that this trip would be met with contempt, and he had already made enough mental preparations, but it was really embarrassing to be left alone at this moment.

Shu Yan glanced sideways and happened to see He Zhenzhi asking someone to bring some pens, inks, paper and inkstones into the carriage, and also asking someone to deliver a painting into his carriage. He immediately understood the reason why he was late today.

Mr. Liang treasured the painting painted by He Wangzhou, so he naturally had to hide it tightly. Now that Mr. Liang has been sent out of the Hou Mansion, the servants in front of him have already been dismissed. It must have taken a lot of time for He Chenzhi to find this painting.

"Let's leave early."

Shu Yan had just made the suggestion, but Nan Huai had already nodded, "Let's go then."

In addition to their three carriages, there were two other carriages carrying goods. One is from Nanhuai and the other is from He Wangzhou.

The coachmen are all guards from the Hou Mansion and are all from the Lian family, so they are not afraid of losing anything on the way.

The carriage drove slowly through the street. When the pilgrims passed by, He Wangzhou asked Ah Si to stop the carriage. He went there himself and brought back a portion of each pastry to Shu Yan and Nan Huai.

He Xiangzhi lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that they all had it, so he asked the boy to go to Pilgrim Lai to buy one too. However, the boy went to ask and came back empty-handed.

"Second Young Master, all the pastries for pilgrims are sold out today."

He Xinzhi could no longer pretend.

He Wangzhou could buy so many pastries just now, but now he doesn't sell any of them?
"Sir, how about I buy it for you somewhere else?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly pointed forward and shouted: "Sir, they have gone far."

He Zhenzhi was so angry that he pulled the curtain down and said, "Let's go."

Before setting off, Nanhuai said he was not in a hurry, but apart from taking a nap, there was no pause at all on the way.

They all had cakes in their cars, but He Genzhi was unprepared and had been hungry all day.

It had been so long since Liang's accident, and apart from worrying that it would affect his own future, He Chenzhi had never thought about her at all. Now I think of Mr. Liang.

If Mr. Liang was still here, he would have prepared everything early, and he would not be willing to let him go hungry for a whole day.

In the evening, they passed by a town and the group found a restaurant to rest.

They randomly ordered two dishes, and before the three of them even used their chopsticks, He Zhenzhi was already devouring them.

"My second brother has been hungry all day, right?"

He Wangzhou hurriedly called the waiter over and added a few more dishes.

He Zhenzhi was really starving to death and wanted to swallow the entire table, so he had no time to pay attention to him.

Although Nan Huai didn't say it clearly, his expression showed some disgust.

"I'm not hungry, you eat."

Seeing Nan Huai leaving, Shu Yan also said he was sleepy, so He Wangzhou naturally wanted to accompany him. In the end, He Zhen alone ate the full table.

When he was about to go upstairs to rest, the waiter stopped him and said, "Sir, I haven't given you the money yet."

He Chenzhi was a little annoyed, "How can there be a store like you? We have to stay in the hotel tonight, and you want money now?"

The waiter apologized, "Money for housing is money for housing, money for food is money for food. Sir, do you think so?"

He Zhenzhi said solemnly, "How much money?"

"Young master, what you eat is not expensive, but there are many of you, and with the various charges for tea, it's not much, only ten taels of silver." (End of Chapter)
