EN1MP Teaser 4

 Chapter 4

The warm morning breeze blew in the air, making the green leaves rustle.

In the jungle, three women and two men were exchanging gaze.

The speaker was a beautiful female with red hair and green eyes. She seemed to be in her early twenties. She had obviously known the original owner before.

Ye Wenya searched through her memory and found the other person's name. Knowing that the person in front of her was a normal friend of the original owner in school, she nodded and greeted: "Song Jiale, I didn't expect to meet you here either. ”

"What's going on with this level four rock wolf? Was it hunted by Fang Shaoyuan and the others?! As expected of an A-level physique beastman, just came to planet K-0218 and hunted such a powerful beast!" Song Jiale's face was filled with envy and eyes subconsciously wandered around, trying to find traces of Fang Shaoyuan and others.

The strength of the same-level mutated beasts was far more powerful than that of the beastmen. If one wanted to hunt down the fourth-level mutated beast in front of them, it would need at least four ordinary beastmen with B-level physiques.

There were a total of 4 people in their team, including two with B-level physiques and two with C-level constitutions. They were far from capable of hunting the level 4 mutated beast Rock Wolf in front of them, so Song Jiale looked at the rock wolf with even more envy.

The other two mecha students with B-level physiques who were following Song Jiale also nodded with envy in their eyes: "I have long heard that Fang Shaoyuan is the nephew of Marshal Xiao Chen. Now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved. Except for a little wound on its head, the level 4 Rock Wolf didn't even have any wounds on his body. It must have been knocked unconscious by Fang Shaoyuan's punch, right?"

"Yes, that's right! I've heard that Marshal Xiao has outstanding fighting ability since young. I remember that when Marshal was still studying in the military academy, he could kill a level 6 mutated beast with one punch in the field combat assessment! Looking at Fang Shaoyuan, he must have inherited Marshal Xiao’s ability!”

Two mecha males were talking to themselves at the side, so excited their cheeks almost turned red. Watching at the side, Ye Wenya was stunned for a moment. She didn't say anything yet. How could these two people put the credit of knocking out the Rock Wolf on Fang Shaoyuan’s head?

On the other hand, the little black cat next to her heard the two boys' words. His white whiskers curled up and down and his eyes glanced at Ye Wenya from time to time. He always felt a little embarrassed to be praised so much in front of his face.

Still, why did these guys think that Fang Shaoyuan killed this rock wolf? Their eyesights were quite bad.

The little black cat glared at the people in front of it in a very humane manner, but with its short legs and short body, no one could see its expression.

Seeing the excited expressions of the two people in front of her, Ye Wenya shook her head helplessly, not intending to say anything more. She knelt down and took out the laser sword. She swiftly took action and cut off the rock wolf's neck with one sharp stroke. After scanning with the military intelligent neuralink device on her wrist, it dinged. '80' points were added to the individual data test points.

"Name: Ye Wenya

 Gender: Female

Age: 20

Exam number: NO: 020625

Exam points: 80

Team members: none

School team points ranking: not on the rank

Grade team points ranking: not on the rank"

Ye Wenya raised her eyebrows. It seemed that if she wanted her points ranking to be on the grade ranking, she would have to find someone to form a team.

She had been thinking about how she would retaliate against Fang Shaoyuan before. Since the other party did not care about the life and death of the original owner and regarded the original owner as a burden, the best way was to give him a head-on blow in the area where he was best at it!

Rather than immediately using potions to raise the physique to level A, it was obviously more appropriate to directly crush the opponent in the final combat assessment rankings.

Especially those people who were not as good as him in the past, but now they were weighing on him and suffocating him, which must make the general very angry!

Ye Wenya subconsciously focused her eyes on the four people next to her. She felt that the four people in front of her looked like a good choice.

However, before Ye Wenya could speak and her eyes were wandering around, Song Jiale failed to find any trace of Fang Shaoyuan and the others. He took the lead and asked with confusion on his face:

"Huh?! Where are Ye Wenya, Fang Shaoyuan and the others? It has been so long, why haven't I seen the rest of your team?"

As sophomores at the Imperial College, almost everyone knew that Ye Wenya and Fang Shaoyuan, the sophomore head of the Mecha Department, were teaming up for an assessment.

Seeing no one at the moment, Song Jiale found it a little strange.

"We separated four hours ago. I am the only one left here." Ye Wenya spoke in an unhurried tone. She raised the knife in her hand and chopped off the wolf leg meat, preparing to cook it for today's lunch.

"What separated?!"

Song Jiale's eyes were as wide as a copper bell, "Then what's going on with this rock wolf? Looking at the rock wolf, it had only fainted recently, right?!"

The wound on his forehead hadn't even healed yet!

"Ha!...Song Jiale, why haven't you discovered until now that this rock wolf wasn’t knocked unconscious by someone, but accidentally hit his forehead on the ground? Basically stupid to death?"

The blond female next to her who had been silent and had a straight face suddenly sneered. Her hands crossed at her chest and looked at Ye Wenya in a condescending manner, "What are you talking about? In my opinion, she was kicked out of the team by Captain Fang, right? With a D-level physique like her, how could Captain Fang fall in love with a woman like you who can’t even make the most ordinary healing potions?"

"But… just idly sitting around and picking up a fourth-level mutated beast like a rock wolf is dog sh*t luck." The blonde female showed contempt and snorted disdainfully, "Ye Wenya, let me tell you! Our team won’t accept trash like you! Don’t try to chat with us and stick to us!”

"A trash with a D-level physique who can't even beat my 10-year-old nephew actually thinks about becoming a couple with the future noble Marquis in the future. Simply have no self-awareness at all!"

The blonde woman's voice was sharp and her speaking speed was even faster. It was amazingly fast. Before Ye Wenya could react, the other party had already sputtered a lot.

"Meina, stop talking!" Song Jiale's face was a little ugly, mostly due to awkwardness.

How could she just forget that Meina had been secretly in love with Fang Shaoyuan for so many years? If she had known that Meina would quarrel with Ye Wenya, she should have taken Meina out of here directly.

Song Jiale looked apologetic and apologized quickly, "Wenya, don't be angry! Meina is just talking nonsense. We’re leaving now... Later let's meet at school! I think the K-0218 planet is also quite dangerous. If you can't bear it alone, just press the communicator and get the teachers and others to pick you up... Hehehe... You should pay attention to safety when you are alone in the jungle, hehehe..."

Song Jiale's face was filled with embarrassment as she quickly dragged Meina away.

The two mecha boys were quite embarrassed when they saw this, but they didn't say much.

Although Meina's words were unpleasant, in this dangerous primitive jungle, they didn't want trash with a D-level physique to join their team. Currently, Ye Wenya was abandoned by her teammates, but she didn’t give up on the exam and leave this primitive jungle. That meant there was a 70% chance that she wanted to join another team.

Especially since there happened to be one more vacancy left in their team.

The little black cat squatted next to her. His glossy black tail impatiently swayed back and forth. His azure cat eyes squinted to the point it almost narrowed into a thin line. He looked at the other person as if they were fools.

High-level mutated beasts have the same intelligence as humans. Even if the fourth-level mutated beasts have slightly lower intelligence, they were still extremely smart. Instead of thinking about a level four beast accidentally hitting the ground and fainting, it would be quicker to stumble over one’s left foot with the right foot and fall.

"Okay, then you guys leave first. No need to bother with me."

The four of them came and left in a hurry.

Ye Wenya raised her eyebrows, no intention of halting them. She could clearly see the relief on the faces of the two boys just now. This assessment last for half a month. No rush to look for teammates.

Ye Wenya crouched down, planning to cleanly dissect the Rock Wolf. In addition to the powerful energy contained in the body of the mutated beast, there was also a beast core in the head, which was also a good thing for beastmen to practice in the past.

The laser sword in her hand had just touched the head of the rock wolf when there were panicked screams in the distance and bursts of roars of mutated beasts. From far to near, they kept coming to Ye Wenya’s ears!

"Help! Help!..."

"Wow!! Ahhh!...Help!..."

"Roar! Roaaaaar!..."

 "Roar!……"

WLAEF afterward 12

 On this day, the three of them were preparing to return to the capital.

"The scented tea I dried for you isn't anything expensive." Old Mister Chen put two large bags of scented tea on Jiang Yun Zhu's carriage. He always remembered that time when Jiang Yun Zhu saw the flowers he planted and said that there would be scented tea to drink in the future.

Since then, he had made scented tea every year. This year he could finally give it to her.

"Just some of mine and your mother’s thoughts." Jiang Cheng gave Jiang Yun Zhu a set of gold ornaments for children, it included longevity locks, gold bracelets, and gold anklets. Legend had it that these could protect children from disaster and represent longevity.

"Elder Sister, when I pass the exam, I will come to the capital to find you." Jiang Lin said this with a guilty conscience. He felt that he wasn't material as a top scholar, but it would be good to pass the exam.

"Elder Sister, this is for you." Jiang Yun Xue handed a stack of manuscripts to Jiang Yun Zhu. She knew that she liked cooking and reading recipes. She copied these for her from the academy's library.

However, she had thought that the Shen Family might have these books and somewhat couldn't give them away.

Jiang Yun Zhu directly accepted. Even if the Shen Family was a major household, it was impossible to collect all the books in the world. Not to mention, these were her thoughts.

A smile appeared on Jiang Yun Xue's face. She could help her copy it in the future or even help her organize it into a book.

Seeing this, Jiang Wu scratched his head anxiously at the side.. He seemed to have nothing to give to Jiang Yun Zhu.

"You only need to listen to Father and Mother." Jiang Yun Zhu said to him. She heard that he was very naughty!

Jiang Wu's face burned and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yun Zhu and the others got on the carriage. Mrs. Chen and others watched from their spot. It wasn't until their carriage disappeared that Mrs. Chen shed tears. After this separation, it was unknown when they would see each other again.

"If we miss them in the future, we will go to the capital to see them." Jiang Cheng said.

Mrs. Chen found it logical and then suppressed the sadness of parting.

It was already June. The weather was starting to get hot. It was time to wear new summer clothes and replace window screens with new. But Princess Danyang couldn't get excited at all.

Now her daily routine with Academician Shen was to ask Attendant Chang and Shen Fu, "Is Young Master back?"

Since Jiang Yun Zhu and the others left, the house had been cold and silent. The two of them were no longer in the mood to quarrel. Every day, they just count the days to see how many days Jiang Yun Zhu and the others have been away and whether it was time to come back. Then they wondered if Shen Heng had grown up a bit and could speak more words.

On this day, Academician Shen came back from outside and looked at Shen Fu as usual.

He thought it would be the same as before, Shen Fu shaking his head.

Who would have thought, "Master, Young Master and Young Madam are back. They are in the front hall!"

"Back?" Academician Shen asked. At this moment, his face no longer looked as stern as before.

"Back." Shen Fu glanced at Academician Shen and replied with a smile.

Academician Shen turned three steps to two. After passing the calligraphy corridor, he could already see the main hall. Shen Feng Ming, Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Heng were all there!

He slowed down and then entered the living room.

Shen Heng was indeed able to speak more words and could call him "Grandmother" and "Grandfather". Princess Danyang and Academician Shen hugged him and were reluctant to let go.

The Shen Family became lively again.

On the last day of August, something big happened. Attendant Qi helped the Empress Dowager get up in the morning, but found that she had no breath. She died at some point during the night. She looked peaceful, as if she was asleep.

The saddest person about this was Princess Danyang, who had fainted from crying several times.

Emperor Qinglong was extremely sad. The Empress Dowager was indispensable to his ascension as the emperor.

The entire capital hung in white for a month of national mourning for the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager doted Shen Feng Ming dearly. Not to mention Shen Feng Ming, Jiang Yun Zhu was also greatly saddened with her sudden passing.

However, because of the incident from the year before last, everyone was somewhat prepared. This time, the Empress Dowager passed away peacefully and everyone felt a little more at ease.

People got to look forward. Winter had arrived in a blink of an eye. It snowed lightly every day. The snow particles were as scattered as fine salt.

On this day, a female corpse was found in a ruined temple in the northern suburbs of the capital.

The people from Jingzhao Manor immediately went to check and concluded that it was an old woman who had frozen to death there.

It wasn’t surprising since the weather was cold.

But two days later, someone sent a letter, saying that it was left by the old woman. She said that if she died one day, she would get someone to deliver this letter to the government office.

When the people from Jingzhao Manor opened the letter, they were so shocked that their blood ran cold. This old woman called herself Wu Min and she served the Crown Prince in the East Palace thirteen years ago. At that time, Concubine Wu asked her to put a black powder in the incense burner in the crown prince's room. When the powder burned, it was colorless and odorless and left no trace after it burned to ashes.

Eunuch Zhang said at the time that the powder would only make the Crown Prince depressed, but that night, the Crown Prince fell ill.

The old woman had been in the palace for a long time and knew that she had been deceived and would definitely be killed and silenced. So she bribed the palace people to escape from the palace.

For so many years, she had been on tenterhooks for fear of being found by Concubine Wu. She was very guilty of what happened back then, so she left this letter. If she died unexpectedly one day, it would be because of Concubine Wu.

She hoped that the truth would be revealed to the world; that justice would be returned for the crown prince and that the wicked people would be punished.

This letter was very simple, but the governor of Jingzhao felt as if he fell into an ice cellar. If what was written in this letter was true...it was truly shocking!

He threw the letter away, wishing he had never seen it.

The governor of Jingzhao was a typical wallflower. He bowed to the crown prince's people and greeted the sixth prince's people with a smile. His biggest wish was to survive the three-year term and be transferred to another place. Who would have thought that when the third year was about to end, something like this would happen.

What to do? What to do? His first thought was to destroy the letter and pretend it never happened. But he felt it was inappropriate. Who knew if the old woman had someone deliver the letter elsewhere? If she did and if they were traced later, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed.

What to do? Report it?

After sitting there for an hour, he finally thought of a method that he thought was fairly safe.

He called all the officials of Jingzhao Manor to the hall and showed them this letter.

Among these people were people from the Sixth Prince and some from the Crown Prince. When everyone saw this letter, they felt huge waves in their hearts, but no one showed it.

Xie Chen stood among them. In the past three years, Emperor Qinglong had indeed intended to promote their batch of candidates. Coupled with his ability and efficiency, he was now one of the two young lieutenants in Jingzhao manor.

He saw the letter and quickly understood the governor of Jingzhao's plan. It was almost what they expected.

After everyone read the letter, they talked a lot but didn't come to any conclusion.

When everyone left the hall, the news spread throughout the capital as if it had wings.

The next day, Jingzhao Manor reported the matter to Emperor Qinglong and asked Emperor Qinglong to make a decision. He was determined not to offend anyone.

After Emperor Qinglong saw the letter, he could hardly believe his eyes. In fact, he used to be very optimistic about the crown prince, otherwise he wouldn't have made him the crown prince. It was only later that he became seriously ill, escaped death, and became more and more obese, that he began to dislike him and doted on the sixth prince.

Now someone told him that the Crown Prince was harmed by someone and he doted on the culprit's son?

Before he could recover, the ministers in the court had already launched into a fierce battle.

Crown Prince’s fraction naturally refused to let go of this opportunity. Concubine Wu was treasonous, plotting to kill the prince. They request the Emperor Qinglong to arrest Concubine Wu immediately and give justice to the prince, so that the people of the world could feel at ease.

The Sixth Prince and his party insisted that someone spread rumors to stir up trouble. There was indeed an attendant named Wu Min in the Crown Prince at that time, but after the Crown Prince fell ill, she slipped and fell into the well and drowned. The court of judicial review found that there was no error. .

If Attendant Wu was dead, then who was this old woman?

Moreover, her letter said that she bribed the palace people to escape from the palace. At that time, the Crown Prince suddenly fell seriously ill. Emperor Qinglong had ordered people to strictly investigate the people in the East Palace. Who dared to let her out of the palace at that time? Her escaping the palace was basically nonsense.

They request the emperor to investigate this matter carefully and not to unjustly accuse a good person.

Emperor Qinglong was originally furious, but when he saw this scene, he felt a little sad in his heart. Look, these were his courtiers. No one wanted to share their worries for him, they were all busy eliminating and purging those who were politically opposed to oneself or disagree with oneself.

"That's enough!" He shouted angrily, looking at everyone.

Those bearing his gaze lowered their heads. That was until it landed on a young man. The young man wore a fifth-grade official robe and looked upright and confident.

He remembered this young man, Gu Yan Zhou, the new top scorer from three years ago.

His eyes stayed on him for a moment before going to the side.

Emperor Qinglong told the three divisions to investigate the matter together and wanted to see the results within ten days.

The three departments were the Criminal Department, Court of Judicial Review, and the Censorate; most of the Criminal Department was from the crown prince’s faction, most of the Censorate was from the sixth prince’s side, and the Court of Judicial Review had infiltration from every faction. If these three groups came together, what could they find out?

Emperor Qinglong didn't expect much from them. After returning to the palace, he immediately called Shen Feng Ming and ordered him to investigate the matter. He didn't trust anyone now, only him.

The Third Division and the Qilin Guards were investigating the case together. The Third Division was in the light, while the Qilin Guards were in the dark. For a time, the whole capital was in turmoil and everyone was on edge.

On this day, Lin Ting An met a mysterious man in a temple on the outskirts of the capital.

"Fifth Prince, what about Attendant Wu?" Lin Ting An asked the mysterious person.

The mysterious man took off the cloak on his head. He was the fifth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The fifth prince's biological mother was Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian was a member of the Concubine Wu’s faction and was her right-hand man in the palace. Though the fifth prince looked very majestic, he wasn't good at literature or the military. Nor was he very eye-catching among the other princes. So people rarely paid attention to him in the past.

The ministers in the court were right. It was impossible for Attendant Wu, an ordinary attendant, to escape from the palace in that situation. But what if someone helped? And that person was someone Concubine Wu trusted.

Concubine Xian didn't know what Concubine Wu asked Attendant Wu to do at the time, but she intuitively felt that there was something going on. So she secretly took attendant Wu out of the palace and then faked the scene of slipping and falling into a well.

When she learned about what Concubine Wu had done from Attendant Wu, she immediately realized that this would be an opportunity to pull Concubine Wu down and kept Attendant Wu imprisoned in a secret place.

From then on, Concubine Xian began to have other thoughts.

"Attendant Wu is still in the villa." The fifth prince’s words were astonishing.

"The one in the ruined temple?" Lin Ting An was a little confused.

"Maybe someone wanted to frame Concubine Wu. Maybe..." The fifth prince stared into the distance. Last year, it seemed that someone was investigating something related to Attendant Wu. Did that person find out something?

"Throw away a brick in order to get a gem?" Lin Ting An said immediately. Get a fake Attendant Wu out and force them to hand over the real Attendant Wu!

The fifth prince said nothing.

The two of them were silent for a long time. Who did it and what was the aim could be investigated later. The top priority was what they should do now.

Mrs. Chen didn’t even want to talk. On such a good day, why bring up something so unlucky. But Jiang Yun Zhu kept looking at her, so she could only speak.

It turned out that there was a drought in Changfeng Manor two years ago. Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Hai's family relied on their family's money and food to stay in Changfeng manor. Later, the disaster became more and more serious. One night, a group of refugees who fled the famine crawled directly over their house wall and robbed them of their food and money.

They had no choice but to escape. However, they didn’t come to Wuling County, but to Taoyuan County next door.

Jiang Cheng often gave rides everywhere. At the end of last year, he went to Taoyuan County and happened to meet Jiang Hai.

Jiang Hai was now in poverty, but seeing that Jiang Cheng had horses and carriages, he naturally latched on him and refused to let go.

Later, he and old Madam Jiang came to Jiang's house to make trouble. They even wanted to occupy the magpie's nest and refused to leave.

Old Mister Chen took out the house deed to prove that the house belonged to him and then kicked them out. Still they refused to give up and often came to Jiang's house to freeload.

Speaking of this, old Mister Chen was very grateful to Jiang Yun Zhu. She put the property deed in his name so that he could stably live here now.

Jiang Yun Zhu frowned when she heard this, "It's not an option to keep doing this, right?" She didn't have a good impression of old Madam Jiang and Jiang Hai at all. At the beginning, their family was starving to death and begged them to lend them some food to survive, but they refused. Now that they were better off, they were making trouble?

Mrs. Chen glared at Jiang Cheng. She was extremely disappointed with old Madam Jiang and Jiang Hai. They just watched their daughter get sold and refused to lend them any grain. Did they treat them as a son and relatives?

When Jiang Yun Zhu got married the year before last, Mrs. Chen and others went to the capital and quietly inquired about Jiang Yun Xiu. They were surprised and helpless to learn that she had become a concubine to a king who was older than Mrs. Chen.

Jiang Cheng had also thought of these and even more. The veins on his forehead jumped.

"It's better not to talk about this." He said. He would deal with this matter. He had always been soft-hearted before, but there was definitely no next time.

"Need help?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked.

Jiang Cheng quickly shook his head. His face turned red with embarrassment. He was a man and a father. He wouldn't let his wife or children down this time.

With his attitude, Mrs. Chen felt relieved and smoothed things over for him, "No need. Oh right, did you guys come for a matter this time? If there’s nothing, stay at home for a few more days."

"Nothing major. Just came to see you." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

At noon, everyone had a meal together, celebrating old Mister Chen’s birthday. The whole family was merry.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yun Zhu took out some things for everyone. It was the house deeds and land deeds of Qishanju and Chabuliang, as well as a stack of banknotes.

When it was time to pay rent again, Jiang Yun Zhu directly bought the property for Qishanju last year. Now these two shops were her property.

"This is?" Jiang Cheng and others were surprised.

"I'm far away in the capital. It's not convenient to manage these two stores." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

"I can help you..." Mrs. Chen said hurriedly.

Jiang Yun Zhu stopped her words, "I have a new business now and can earn much more than this. These two shops are dispensable to me." 

She was telling the truth. This trip back, she wanted to take care of this matter.

"These two shops were built by our family together. I can't bear to close them, so I want to hand them over to you." She continued.

Of course Chen and others refused to take it. Those two shops were nothing to Jiang Yun Zhu, but to them, they were worth a lot of money.

Jiang Yun Zhu had already decided. She pushed the house deed and land deed of Qishanju into Mrs. Chen's hand, "Mother, Qishanju will be given to you. Back when we sold breakfast together and delivered meals to the mines, you were the hardest worker."

Thinking of those days in the past, she emotionally sighed. At that time, Mrs. Chen was busy all day long, snatching to do all the dirty work. If it weren't for her, her business wouldn't be doing so well and there wouldn't be the matters that happened later.

"I am your mother, of course I should work harder." Mrs. Chen responded.

Jiang Yun Zhu closed her hand and made her hold the house deed. Then she looked at Jiang Yunxue and said, "Yunxue, this Chabuliang, I want to leave it to you. Consider it my selfishness."

Jiang Yunxue had put in a lot of help when starting the business at that time. In this era, compared to Jiang Lin, she knew that Jiang Yunxue would definitely have a harder time in the future. She hoped that she would be able to live more calmly now that she had CHabuliang.

Jiang Yunxue understood what she meant and her eyes turned red instantly, "Elder Sister..."

Jiang Yun Zhu picked up the stack of banknotes.

"Elder Sister, don't give it to me. I can earn it myself." Jiang Lin said quickly.

Jiang Yun Zhu smiled and handed the banknote to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng didn't want it. In the end, he had no choice but to accept it. He then obediently handed the banknote to Mrs. Chen.

Everyone laughed. Jiang Yun Zhu was in a good mood. This way, she was at ease.

At night, Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming stayed in the same room where Jiang Yun Zhu lived before. Mrs. Chen had always kept this room for her and cleaned it frequently. Nothing in it had changed.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked at the familiar and simple room and reminisced many things in an instant. She turned her head to look at Shen Feng Ming. She had many things to ask him.

Shen Feng Ming took in the furnishings in the room.

Jiang Yun Zhu pressed him on a stool at the side, "Do you remember Wei Kang Ping?"

Of course Shen Feng Ming remembered.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked at him, "I felt strange at that time, how could this case be solved so quickly? Moreover, before the case was closed, the government returned the money we lost to us. Wasn't it you?"

She knew Shen Feng Ming's identity, so she suspected that he had helped. But it was difficult to ask at that time. Now that the past had come to mind, she could finally confirm.

"It can be considered me." Shen Feng Ming replied.

Jiang Yun Zhu was confused. Why was it phrased like this?

Shen Feng Ming briefly explained the situation at that time. When he came back with Yang Sheng, he found that Jiang Yun Zhu was involved in this case. Yang Sheng gave Mengzhi County a Qilin Guard token and he sent people to arrest Wei Kangping.

But Wei Kangping did not die in his hands, he was killed by Ji San Niang.

Then he talked about Ji San Niang’s past.

Jiang Yun Zhu began to feel as if she was listening to a story. She didn't even know that so many things had happened at that time. But after hearing about Ji San Niang, she felt sympathy and regret. When she heard that Wei Kangping and others wanted to break into Jiang's house in the middle of the night and abduct her, she felt chills all over.

No wonder Ji San Niang's coachman said to her at that time, "Madam told me to mind your own business from now on, or what will you do if someone comes to your house in the middle of the night?" 

It turned out that it had happened.

She didn't dare to think about what would have happened to her that night without Ji San Niang and Shen Feng Ming. And what would have happened to Mrs. Chen and the others!

"I'm here!" Shen Feng Ming noticed that she was in a bad mood, so he took her into his arms and comforted her.

Jiang Yun Zhu hugged his neck with her hands and pressed her face against his neck. She felt better when her whole body was wrapped in his air.

"Then I owe Ji San Niang a favor." She whispered. Of course, she owed him too.

"She’s probably buried with her husband." Shen Feng Ming said.

Ji San Niang’s justice was done and committed suicide.

Jiang Yun Zhu raised her head and kissed the side of his face. Like others, she used to be afraid of him and thought he would kill without blinking an eye. But what if he was the righteous party? Was there less injustice and more fairness in this world?

Shen Feng Ming didn't know why she suddenly kissed him, but he was very happy and wanted to kiss her.

Jiang Yun Zhu dodged, "What else don't I know?" 

She decided to ask clearly today.

Shen Feng Ming hesitated.

"Say it quickly." Jiang Yun Zhu said angrily. A bit like interrogating the prisoner, if she wasn't leaning in his arms.

Shen Feng Ming couldn't remember it for a moment.

Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly asked, "Old Mister Wu?" 

She didn't expect this at the time. But now she thought about it, Old Mister Chen's eyes couldn't be cured by Doctor Jin. What a coincidence, old Mister Wu appeared at her door within a few days.

"I sent someone to invite him here." Shen Feng Ming said.

Sure enough. 

"Invite?" She remembered that old Mister Wu hated him very much at that time. "That night, it was freezing cold. What were you doing standing in the yard?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked intuitively.

"I was thinking about something."

"Can't you think about it in the room?"

"It's getting late."

"If you don't tell me, I'll ask old Mister Wu." Jiang Yun Zhu insisted.

Shen Feng Ming was helpless, "He said that if I want him to help heal your maternal grandfather's eyes, he’ll discuss it after I stand in the courtyard all night."

Jiang Yun Zhu steadily stared at him, her voice trembling, "Did you stand all night that day?"

"It's just a little matter." He had forgotten it.

Jiang Yun Zhu hugged him, feeling all kinds of emotions in her heart. Why didn't he tell her these things before? Did it mean that if she didn't ask, he would never tell her?

Shen Feng Ming lowered his head and kissed her lightly.

Jiang Yun Zhu's heart was pounding. She asked him in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "When did you start liking me?"

She thought he only liked her later, but looking at it now, it should have been much earlier than that.

"En..." Shen Feng Ming seemed to be stunned by the question. When did he start liking her? Maybe it was that slight glance. Maybe it was the little interactions with her.

"Huh?" Jiang Yun Zhu raised her head.

"It's getting late." Shen Feng Ming said.

Jiang Yun Zhu said, "You have never said you like me."

Shen Feng Ming was speechless.

"Since you love me back then, why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Yun Zhu remembered that he had left twice.

In fact, after asking, she figured it out. In fact, he once said that her life was simple and happy, and he didn't want to get involved...

This man was good to her and worthy of her liking.

"Shen Feng Ming, I love you!" On the impulse, Jiang Yun Zhu suddenly declared. Now, at this moment, that was all she wanted to tell him.

Then she kissed him on the lips.

I love you too. I have loved you since a long time ago and will always love you. This was what Shen Feng Ming thought in his heart.

Under the warm yellow candlelight, the two were entangled with each other, as if they would never be separated again.

Jiang Yun Zhu, Shen Feng Ming, and Shen Heng stayed in Changshi Village for ten days. In the past ten days, they met Xu Qing Shan. He was now the father of two children.

They went to Qishanju and Chabuliang to meet Li He, Tan De Bao and others to reminisce with them. She told them that she had handed over Qishanju to Mrs. Chen and Chabuliang to Jiang Yun Xue.

They stayed at Jiang Yun Zhu's villa in the county for two days. It was by the lake in this courtyard that Shen Feng Ming kissed Jiang Yun Zhu for the first time.

Jiang Yun Zhu had to admit that she liked him a little back then.

They met Mrs. Liu. Now Ms. Liu had opened a store of her own, selling embroidery and helping people cut clothes. Her business was booming.

They met Escort Head Li and Li Yan. Now Li Yan's body had completely recovered and he had grown into a handsome young man.

Everything seemed to be very beautiful.

TISHW 158

 Chapter 158 To the limit

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yu felt someone pick her up and put him in his arms to comfort him gently.

The gentle palm on her back gradually called back her wits. Jiang Yu lowered her head and bit the shoulder in front of her in anger. Unfortunately, the force was as soft as her current body and had no deterrent effect.

Instead it caused Qin Shiyu's chest that had gradually calmed down to rise a few more times. He laughed hoarsely, "What to do? I found that I was wrong again."

Jiang Yu raised her head from his shoulder, "What wrong?"

Qin Shiyu stared at her moist lips, "The one just now wasn't the most difficult."

Jiang Yu instantly understood what he meant. Heat climbed onto her cheeks. She quickly leaned back on his shoulder and harrumphed, "Serve you right. I had warned you." 

He uttered with some gloating, "Please be sure to exercise restraint when recording the show. To the limit of stirring CP.”

It was true that she disapproved of Qin Shiyu's choice to quit the entertainment industry for her and that she wasn't afraid of trouble if she really encountered it, but it didn't mean that she was looking for trouble. When Qin Shiyu's traffic increased rapidly, there was no official announcement to pave the way, the mess that the original owner had yet to be dealt with, the crouching Chen Yalian and Qin Luochuan, and the original owner's second uncle's family were all great hidden dangers.

When the time comes, she would be pulled through dirt and posted on hot searches every day. It would be very annoying.

And even if she doesn't care about any of this, she still has to go back to school to study. Having a top-star boyfriend will definitely affect her daily life. She preferred a quiet life without social interaction.

Thinking of this, she sat up again and emphasized, "No official announcement. Let's keep a low profile."

Qin Shiyu raised his eyebrows, "Are you going to give me a status? Can’t I be seen?"

Jiang Yu pretended to comfort him, "Isn't it not the right time yet? Let's wait until there is a suitable opportunity."

Qin Shiyu looked at her and smiled, "That sounds like a scum who doesn't want to take responsibility."

Jiang Yu pondered about it. It was true. She couldn't help but laugh.

Qin Shiyu's eyes couldn't leave her face now. He seriously stated, "Talking about this, I'm really worried that I can’t hold back."

Jiang Yu was very confident in him, "No, you can definitely do it."

Qin Shiyu seemed to have thought of something, "Actually, I have a way."

Jiang Yu was confused, "What?"

Qin Shiyu suddenly tightened his hand around her waist and forced her to come closer. The two’s breaths merged. He chuckled, "Practice more and it'll be fine."

Jiang Yu quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth, instantly narrowing her eyes, "You mean, after trying it two more times, you won't be interested anymore?"

Qin Shiyu:? ? ? ! !

He said, "Of course that's not what I mean!"  

Jiang Yu took the opportunity to quickly crawl out of his arms and harrumphed, "That's what you mean." 

Before leaving, she fumed out, "Quickly go pack your luggage! I’m ignoring you." 

After that, she walked toward the bedroom.

Qin Shiyu turned around and saw her escaping with a covered face as if running away. He couldn't help but laugh. She was obviously shy.

Qin Shiyu lowered his head and rubbed his lips. Qin Shiyu couldn't resist chuckling. It wasn’t good to have a smart girlfriend. She wasn’t easy to deceive.

It was indeed getting late, so he got up and turned off the projection and returned to the room. While washing and brushing his teeth, his gaze couldn't help but fall on his lips. Excitement and joy gradually filled the air. It felt unreal.

After coming out of the shower, he picked up his phone, thought about it, and sent a message to Jiang Yu: 【Did you give me the answer just now? 】

The other side replied quickly: 【No, you are dreaming. 】

Qin Shiyu laughed again when he saw it: "So you feel like you're dreaming too?" 】

The top stopped at "Typing..." for a while. It took a while before a reply came back: 【Who is like you. It's past twelve o'clock, go to bed quickly! Don't you still have work tomorrow? 】

Qin Shiyu could imagine her lying on the bed and getting angry. He contemplated and replied with a grin: "As you wish," 

He typed these three words, hesitated for a moment, and then typed the remaining one word: 【Girlfriend. 】

However, after this word was uttered, he was the first person to be hit by the flirtiness. Qin Shiyu fell on the bed, reached out and pulled the octopus pillow next to him and buried his face in it.

But he didn’t know that Jiang Yu, who was next door, didn’t make any concessions. Her face was as red as apples. When she wasn’t facing the real person, she was much bolder. She bit her lip and replied: 【How obedient, Boyfriend. 】

Then she buried her face into the same octopus pillow as the one next door.

Qin Shiyu quickly picked up the phone. Staring at those three words, his lip corner couldn't drop. How could there be such a lovely girl in this world and she became his.

He wanted to reply again, but as if the person on the other end had anticipated his actions, she sent another message: 【Go to bed at once, good night. 】

Qin Shiyu grinned. Fearing that she would get too embarrassed, he could only reply with a ‘good and obedient’ emoji and turned over to lie down...

Then he tossed and turned until almost three o'clock in the middle of the night. Qin Shiyu was still energetic. His chest was full of swelling. He wanted to find someone to talk to for no reason. Then he finally remembered something, picked up his mobile phone, and made a call.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Xu Lehua's tired voice came, "Hey, who is it?"

"Me." Qin Shiyu opened his mouth.

Xu Lehua was startled, "Fudged, did I oversleep?" 

Then he seemed to be looking at his mobile phone and replied shortly later, "It's two forty in the middle of the night. This is the middle of the night..." 

At this point, he thought something happened to Qin Shiyu and instantly became more awake, "What's wrong? What's the emergency?"

Qin Shiyu said, "It's not urgent. I'll accept Director Lan's script for ‘Rebel’’. Remember to send me the specific information."

Xu Lehua was stunned for a while, then relaxed his tone, and murmured in a daze, "Am I dreaming about it at night after thinking about it all day? I actually dreamed that Qin Shiyu changed his mind. Haha, he won’t change his mind unless the sun comes out in the west.”

Qin Shiyu laughed, "Not that exaggerated."

Xu Lehua's side was quiet. Qin Shiyu waited for a long time, thinking he had fallen asleep again, so he checked, "Hey, anyone there?"

"Fudge, I’m not dreaming?!" Xu Lehua seemed to finally be completely awake and exclaimed in shock, "What did you say?"

Qin Shiyu said patiently, "I accept Director Lan's script. If there are other suitable scripts, you can choose from them. However, ordinary entertainment variety shows, forget about it. But 'All Rounder' and similar high-spec variety shows can be considered."

"From now on, my work will follow the normal process. I will cooperate. Sign new people when you meet suitable ones. There are so many outstanding talents in the studio, it’s a waste to revolve it all around me. Properly manage and let’s make it bigger.”

Xu Lehua was shocked by his speech. It took him a long time to speak, "So you really changed your mind? What happened? Is the sky going to collapse or the earth going to sink? Or is the earth going to explode?"

Qin Shiyu clicked his tongue, "As I said, I have made mistakes sometimes. Before, I had the wrong idea." 

When he said this, he couldn't help but laugh and sighed, "I have been lectured. Please stop mocking me."

Xu Lehua still couldn't keep up, "What been lectured? Who lectured you? Who dares to lecture you?"

Qin Shiyu said with a helpless tone, "Who else besides Jiang Yu?" 

He muttered and complained, "Though she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, it's completely different after becoming the girlfriend. She gave me a good lecture today.”

Xu Lehua:......

He gritted his teeth, "So you called me in the middle of the night and said so much to show off that you have a girlfriend?!"

Of course Qin Shiyu refused to admit it, "How could it be? I suddenly realized that you have worked hard in the past few years."

Xu Lehua was stunned. Although he had never expected to hear anything good from Qin Shiyu, the other party's sudden and sensational words still made him suddenly feel ache. "Brother, why are you talking about this?"

Qin Shiyu sighed, "I still have to say it. Only when I’m with Jiang Yu did I understand that some things must be told to the other party."

Xu Lehua:......

He uttered without emotion, "So you are showing off to me!" 

He gritted his teeth, "Go to bed at once. You still have work tomorrow morning!"

Qin Shiyu laughed again, "I know. It's exactly the same as what Jiang Yu said."

Xu Lehua:......

Listening to the ‘beep’ sound on the phone, Qin Shiyu let out a ‘tsk’. His temper was really bad.

This time he put down his phone and finally closed his eyes with satisfaction...

The dreams all night seemed to be sweet.

Even after only sleeping for a few hours, Qin Shiyu was full of energy the next morning. He opened his eyes and looked at his phone first. Staring at the message Jiang Yu sent last night, he couldn't stop grinning when he saw the word ‘boyfriend’.

After getting up and washing up, he had left the bedroom door when he received another message from his girlfriend: 【Remember to have breakfast, there are sandwiches in the refrigerator. 】

Qin Shiyu looked at the bedroom next door, lowered his head with a raised lip corner and replied: 【Okay. 】

While sending out, he heard the sound of receiving information. The sound seemed to come from behind the door next door. Qin Shiyu took a closer look and noticed that the door seemed not to be closed tightly.

He could almost imagine someone running in to avoid him and not even daring to close the door hard.

Qin Shiyu smiled, tiptoed, and leaned against the wall next to her bedroom. Then sent a message: 【Then I'm leaving, Girlfriend. 】

This time he didn’t hear any more sounds. Anyway, she either hid in or her phone was muted. After all, she was so smart.

However, Qin Shiyu still stood still and waited patiently. Sure enough, about a minute later, Jiang Yu's bedroom door slowly opened and a head sneakily poked out to look in the direction of the door, apparently to confirm that his departure.

Qin Shiyu watched her like this until she realized something was amiss and turned around. The two stared at each other. Jiang Yu subconsciously moved back. However, Qin Shiyu was agile. He took a big step, stretched out his long arms, and fished the person out of the bedroom.

By the time Jiang Yu caught on, she was already pressed against the wall next to the bedroom.

Qin Shiyu put his arm around her waist and clasped her shoulder with the other, lowered his head, "What are you hiding for"

Jiang Yu's face turned red again. In fact, she didn't know why she wanted to hide. After returning to the room yesterday, she suddenly felt embarrassed. She could barely communicate through the phone. But when she thought about meeting, she felt inexplicably shy and didn’t know what to say after meeting.

She forced herself to calm down, pushed him gently, "It's time for you to set off. Be careful not to be late."

Qin Shiyu looked at her pink cheeks, lowered his eyes, and chuckled, "Yes, I'm about to leave, but my girlfriend was hiding in the room and won't come out to see me."

Jiang Yu avoided his gaze. It was strange. It was obviously a very common addressment and not even close. Still, these three words seemed to have a different meaning when they were called out from his mouth. A little sweet, a bit sexy, and a bit shy.

Qin Shiyu raised his hand and touched her cheek, gently rubbed it with his thumb, "If the boyfriend is about to go out, shouldn’t the girlfriend express something?"

Jiang Yu noticed his gaze, pursed her lips reflexively, and then hugged him quickly, "Okay, have a nice trip."

Qin Shiyu chuckled. As if he was compromising, he reached out and hugged her back, sighing, "Okay, bye."

Feeling the arms around her waist loosen, Jiang Yu quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had already kissed him once, she still felt embarrassed.

However, the next second, the arm around her waist came back. She was hugged tightly, her chin was lifted, and then the familiar touch and breath quickly invaded her senses.

It still felt numb, but a little different. The man was probably really self-taught in this regard. Compared to yesterday's novice-style rampage, today he was much more organized, not too aggressive, but instead gentle and patient comfort that seemed to let her get accustomed to his presence.

Later, she did gradually relax and even responded subconsciously when he gently sucked her lips again.

Qin Shiyu halted and left quickly.

Jiang Yu looked at him blankly, panting slightly, and seemed a little confused.

Qin Shiyu raised his hand to cover those watery eyes, took a deep breath, lean against her forehead, and said slowly, "Baby, you can't do this. One of us must stay rational, otherwise I will definitely not be able to hold back.”

Jiang Yu came back to her senses and felt irk and amused when she heard this, "Are you treating me as a brake?"

Qin Shiyu smiled, "The reins are fine too. Anyway, if you fail, I won't be able to control myself. How about we make it official?"

Jiang Yu:……

She felt like he was threatening her.

Jiang Yu suddenly smiled and said pleasantly, "Then try desensitization. If you do it a few times, you won't feel it anymore."

Qin Shiyu:......

In the end, he couldn't hold it back and quickly pecked her lips again,, "So vindictive."

TISHW 157

 Chapter 157 To the limit

Jiang Yu took advantage of Qin Shiyu's lack of attention, raised her foot and kicked his chest hard to kick him away.

Qin Shiyu smiled and went along to sitting position. However, he grabbed Jiang Yu's arm and pulled her. Jiang Yu changed her position from the armrest of the sofa and fell into his arms.

As soon as she heard him chuckle, Jiang Yu felt his chin rub against her forehead. The feeling was unfamiliar, yet intimate. Very peculiar.

But when she thought he would make other moves, Qin Shiyu sighed, "Give me the answer after the recording of 'Perfect Holiday' is finished."

Jiang Yu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, wondering if there was something wrong with him, and harrumphed, "That's too soon. In order to show that I value and cherish you, I plan to wait more than ten years before telling you."

Qin Shiyu smiled, put a little force on his arms and pressed her into his embrace. He rubbed his chin against the top of her hair and said helplessly, "I'm really worried that I can't endure it."

Jiang Yu raised her head in confusion and saw Qin Shiyu's eyes falling directly on her lips, but the big palm behind her head quickly pressed her to his chest. He took a deep breath and explained, "It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Once something starts, I'm not sure I can hold it back."

Jiang Yu understood what he meant instantly and her cheeks couldn't help but heat up. Although she had never been in love, she had heard and seen new young couples couldn't get enough of each other. Qin Shiyu stroked the back of her head and continued, "We’re going to record 'Perfect Holiday' soon. If something is revealed then, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for you."

Jiang Yu looked up at him. Qin Shiyu couldn't resist rubbing her face with his thumb, "Before, when our CP were stirred, those anti-fans and keyboard warriors could only limit their targeting toward you to some extent. But if the official announcement is made at this time and plus the aftermath of the ending of 'The Devil's Hour', it may really affect your life. What’s more, aren’t you taking the postgraduate entrance examination early next year? If you want to study, you can't stay at home all the time."

 "There is Chen Yalian and Second Uncle Jiang’s family. Now they aren’t sure what you mean to me. Once they are sure, trouble will keep on coming."

Jiang Yu didn't expect that he would think so much. Indeed, 'The Devil's Hour' officially ended yesterday. The hot search alerts about Qin Shiyu haven’t stopped. She knew that his traffic will start to grow exponentially in the near future. There will be a large number of girlfriend fans and wife fans. In the book, fans hated the female celebrities who take advantage of his traffic and will berate them badly.

If the love affair was exposed at this time, with Qin Shiyu's work portfolio and Jiang Yu’s only one variety show portfolio, 'All Rounder 3' and so much black material accumulated by the original owner, she will definitely suffer a hundred times more than now. She could ignore the criticism if it was limited to the Internet. After all, once she retreated from the circle, not many people would remember her.

But if she becomes Qin Shiyu's girlfriend, then the incident will definitely escalate and even extend offline, affecting her normal life.

Seeing that she understood what he meant, Qin Shiyu smiled slightly, "So we won't make an official announcement for the time being. In these six months, I will only finish the work on hand and will not take any new jobs..."

Jiang Yu was stunned, "Won't accept jobs?"

This was the most critical period for him to quickly become a top figure in the entertainment industry. No matter how popular he is, once his works no longer appear on the screen, it will only become short lived.

Qin Shiyu said, "Actually, when I first entered the entertainment industry, one of my goals was to deal with the Qin Family. Qin Xingye cares most about reputation, so I want everyone to know how dirty he is."

Jiang Yu thought of how accurately he analyzed Qin Luochuan's psychology yesterday and understood instantly, "So even if this time hasn't happened, with Qin Luochuan's character, it will have been a matter of time before he chased after you into the entertainment industry. Now the time to deal with the Qin Family is almost ripe?" "

She recalled the plot in the book. It seemed that at that time Qin Luochuan was indeed sought after by netizens because he was wealthy. Qin Shiyu's identity was gradually revealed amidst the overwhelming Internet violence... So he waited until later to make a comeback. Later, all the abuse he encountered was returned to Qin Luochuan and the Qin Family...

As for Qin Shiyu himself, he rose to a higher level in the entertainment industry because of netizens' guilt after misunderstanding him and fans' distress for him.

But that was under the premise that his traffic was booming. Now he looked like he was ready to quit the entertainment industry. Although it probably won't delay sorting the Qin Family, what about afterward?

Qin Shiyu said, "It will take some time to deal with the Qin Family's affairs, but with my current popularity is enough. Once we leave this circle, there won't be that many people paying attention to us in a year and a half." 

At that time, Jiang Yu would naturally not be targeted again.

So, he changed his plan because of her.

Jiang Yu pressed her arm against his chest to sit up and looked at him seriously, "Qin Shiyu."

Qin Shiyu froze for a moment. Then consciously put away his carefree mentality and sat upright.

Jiang Yu said, "I remember that you thought you were a calamity star at the beginning, and stayed with me because you felt I could solve everything and wouldn’t be really unlucky. Therefore, you didn't have such a big psychological burden. After becoming more and more comfortable, feelings gradually developed later, right?"

Qin Shiyu didn't say anything. This was indeed the case.

Jiang Yu added, "And you should know that I actually avoided you at first and never wanted to be with you."

Qin Shiyu naturally knew that the result he had today was all due to his step-by-step calculation.

Jiang Yu seemed to know what he was thinking, "Actually, it's very comfortable to be with you, but my biggest concern is your family and the trouble I will face after you become popular." 

She stated seriously to him, "Do you think I, who dislike troublesome matters, haven’t thought about the things you’ve thought about before you confessed to me?”

Qin Shiyu stared at her intently. In fact, she was a person who took one step and thought ten steps.

Jiang Yu looked back at him, "I like a simple life and despise trouble, but not fear it. When I encounter worthy people and things, I will try my best to face it." 

She smiled, "And so far, I have never failed.”

"I'm strong."

She made it sound like an understatement. Even her tone was as gentle and soft as before, but Qin Shiyu saw the pride in her eyes. This was her most attractive point, as if she could get through mountains of swords and seas of fire if she wanted to.

Jiang Yu continued, "In my opinion, two people get together to go through the rest of life more happily. When they encounter difficulties, they can support each other and go through the troughs more smoothly; when they encounter more beautiful scenery, they can join hands together to climb to heights that cannot be reached by one person alone and share the joy.”

"If two people come together to accommodate each other or one person takes a long way around for the other person, such a journey will become more troublesome. Over time, it will become nothing but chicken feathers. The final outcome will definitely be parting ways."

She looked at Qin Shiyu seriously, "I'm glad that you thought so much for me, but I think we should be the driving force in each other's lives, rather than those random turns at any crossroads sign that seem messy and far."

"Just like I won't change my future plans to become someone who is 'worthy' of you in the eyes of others. Liking you means that there is an addition of you in my future plans. Of course there will be some unexpected trivial matters for this, but these are insignificant compared to the joy I gain..”

Jiang Yu met his gaze and solemnly stated, "Qin Shiyu, you should know that those who don't split are those who have the same goals and steps, not those who accommodate each other."

Qin Shiyu stared at her, his heart beating violently in his chest. He couldn't describe the emotion, but he knew clearly that holding onto the girl in front of him by any means necessary was the most right thing he had ever done in his life. The only one.

"Jiang Yu." Qin Shiyu leaned forward and hugged her, "I have indeed been wrong all along. It’s only today that I understand that I am really a very lucky person."

Jiang Yu’s heart softened a little when she heard his tense voice. She raised her hand and hugged him back, "En, to err is human; to correct a mistake is the greatest good."

Qin Shiyu was amused. His arm couldn't resist tightening. This time Jiang Yu was pressed firmly against his chest, clearly feeling the heartbeat coming from him...

It was unknown how long they hugged each other, but Jiang Yu's face began to heat up. His summer clothes weren’t thick and Qin Shiyu's hug wasn't so ‘gentlemanly’. She didn't feel anything at first, but after a while, the temperature on the other person's body became more and more obvious. She could feel the faint touch of shape...

She gently stretched out her hand to push him away. Qin Shiyu let go of her, but his arms still remained wrapped around her, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu leaned back slightly, "Don’t you need to pack your luggage?"

"That's not urgent." Qin Shiyu replied, "Let's talk about the problem I corrected first."

Jiang Yu was confused, "Correct what?"

Qin Shiyu raised his hand and pinched her chin, "Can you give me the answer now?"

This time he no longer restrained himself and stared at her lips unabashedly when he spoke. Jiang Yu felt that her face was about to burn. He lowered his eyelids and still arrogantly said, "I think I should express how precious you are.”

Qin Shiyu smiled and tightened his arms again, "I said I was wrong. Being able to be solved by you is enough to represent preciousness. I shouldn't be fussy."

Seeing his approaching face, Jiang Yu put her hands on his chest, "Then we should wait until the program is over?"

Qin Shiyu continued to tighten his arm and directly pressed forward, "Why?"

Jiang Yu was already lying on the sofa, looking at Qin Shiyu who was hovering above, and felt inexplicably nervous, "Didn't you say that it's difficult to go from luxury to frugality? I'm not afraid of trouble, but not not dislike trouble. Let's stir CP like norma this time?”

Qin Shiyu continued to inch closer until there was only one or two centimeters between their lips. Then he spoke, "Don't worry about this, I will take care of it."

Jiang Yu could clearly feel his breath when he spoke. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Qin Shiyu glanced at her rising and falling chest, his eyes darkened, and he continued to approach, "Can you give me an answer?"

This time, Jiang Yu felt a moment of softness. He touched her while he was talking. Even though the speed seemed like an imagination, Qin Shiyu visibly froze for a moment, but didn't leave.

Jiang Yu swallowed her saliva, "Aren't you afraid of the hardship?"

This time it was her turn to brush against his. Qin Shiyu's throat rolled and his breath was no longer steady. "It won't be more difficult than now."

Jiang Yu looked at those beautiful thin lips and suddenly felt the same way. She raised her head slightly and finally pressed it...

Qin Shiyu halted for a moment. Then the arm holding her waist tightened again and Jiang Yu's lips were pressed hard.

Jiang Yu never knew that two lips touching could be so powerful. She felt that her head went blank for an instant. All her strength was taken away. Replacing it was an indescribable numbness and a hint of the right amount of thrill stimulated the nerves... Her fingers tightly grasped the clothes of the person in front of her. She unconsciously let out an uncontrollable muffled groan.

This sound shocked the two of them. Jiang Yu came back to her senses and couldn't believe that such a sound was coming from her.

Qin Shiyu chuckled lightly. As if inspired, he pressed down again and took advantage of Jiang Yu's shock to easily pry open her teeth...

LLPM Teaser 5

 Chapter 5 A lonely city

Luo Jin was stunned, "Take me... for what?"

"Afraid that they may encounter trouble on the road. You are a lucky star. Taking you is more lucky." Chai Jing grinned, "Second Elder Brother is my only brother from the same mother. I have the closest relationship with him, so of course I have to consider his well-being.  

 【Isn’t it dangerous? I am such a weak woman. What if Xiyuan Kingdom sends a master to snatch Jiang Ge and kill me while he is at it? 】

 【I am not a lucky star. I don’t have the halo of the protagonist. I will really die if I encounter a bad guy! 】

【Quickly think of a reason to refuse, hurry up...】

【Pretend to be sick! Yes, pretend to be sick! Pretend that I am about to die and he can't take me along, can he? 】

"One hundred taels a day." Chai Jing continued.

"I will follow His Highness the Second Prince to the death!"

"..."

Before leaving for Xiyuan, his subordinate came to report that Jiang Ge wanted to see Qin Huaying once.

Chai Heng pondered about it for a long time and finally agreed, escorting Jiang Ge to the bottom of the Sky Prison.

Luo Jin didn't know why she was called here again. She was currently an employee with a positive attitude toward work. Since the boss told her to follow, she followed.

Qin Huaying's complexion was much better than before. She finally gave up her struggle and started eating well and nurturing her baby. It was just that she had no heart to dress up at this time and still looked haggard.

Her matter hadn’t been spread. Even her father, Grand Tutor Qin's official position hadn’t been affected at all.

When she saw Jiang Ge, she lowered her head and turned around. Her shoulders were shaking slightly, obviously crying.

Jiang Ge didn't speak. He sighed for a long time and said, "You... take care of yourself."

Qin Huaying softly responded "En".

Jiang Ge turned around and left.

Luo Jin followed, tilted her head curiously and asked, "You may not see each other again in the future, why don't you say a few more words?"

Jiang Ge frowned deeply, "She doesn't like people to see her looking bad."

Luo Jin pouted, "When she gets old and ugly, she won't see people anymore? Wait... when I saw her before, she was uglier than this. She doesn’t treat me as a human being?"

Chai Heng sent Luo Jin back to Lihua Courtyard to pack her things. Early tomorrow morning, they will leave for Xiyuan Kingdom.

Chai Jing pulled Chai Heng into the room and instructed, "Take good care of my Jin'er and don't let her lose a hair."

"Don't worry, there are many experts with us this time. Nothing will happen to her." Chai Heng looked at Luo Jin's room, "You told me to take her with me because you thought she might know something, right?"

Chai Jing shrugged and said, "Maybe, but that's not my intention."

"Then why did you tell me to take her with me?"

"I just want to..." Chai Jing smiled mysteriously, "I want you to see what a normal girl looks like, so that you won't think about that poisonous woman Qin Huaying all the time. In fact, I have long disliked her. All day long, she put up air. So pretentious. I don’t know why you like this kind of woman.”

Chai Heng frowned and said, "It’s proper business, don't fool around."

"I'm not fooling around," Chai Jing's tone became serious, "You like Qin Huaying because you have never seen the world. My Jin'er, although she is a bit of a money grubber, gluttonous, and lazy, but I don't know why, she is lovable. You will know once you interact with her. I believe that along the way, she will definitely make you forget Qin Huaying."

Chai Heng froze. Then he suddenly stood up, "It can’t be that you want me to... marry her as my concubine, do you?"

"Tch, dream too beautifully!" Chai Jing rolled her eyes at him, "I just want her to soothe your injured heart. Become your concubine? You want to repay kindness with hatred, right? She can be regarded as the benefactor who saved us two siblings. I will find a particularly good marriage for her sooner or later."

Chai Heng was silent.

If it weren't for Luo Jin, he would have already proposed marriage to Qin Huaying. The outcome would probably be what Luo Jin said, raising his son for Jiang Ge and then dying in the hands of Qin Huaying. He would even be used by Qin Huaying to get out confidential information about national affairs, harming the entire Dongyuan.

His younger sister, Chai Jing may also have a tragic fate because she married a wicked person. But Luo Jin changed everything. It must be said that she was their benefactor.

Early the next morning, Chai Heng's men drove a carriage to pick up Luo Jin.

In the past, Chai Jing had not paid much attention to Luo Jin, a little palace maid. But since hearing her internal voice and their interactions in the past few days have made her somewhat reluctant to part with Luo Jin.

"Take care of yourself on the way," Chai Jing waved her hand and Attendant Zhao handed over a small bundle, "These are some cakes I have prepared for you. Eat them if you are hungry on the way."

Luo Jin accepted the bundle and said, "Thank you Princess."

 【The princess is so kind, completely different from the one in the novel! 】

 【On the way back, I’ll bring her local specialties... Just don't make them too expensive. Forget it, just be a little more expensive is fine. 】

【Hope it’s a smooth journey and make a lot of money! 】

Chai Jing couldn't help but grin.

It was really rare for this little money-lover to be willing to spend money and buy her a gift.

……

The carriage left the city and met up with Chai Heng.

Chai Heng's convoy consisted of five carriages and more than thirty horses, forming a mighty cavalry.

Jiang Ge was sitting in the largest carriage. Accompanying in the carriage were three guards, guarding him to ensure that he had no chance to escape.

The destination of the convoy was a small border town called Shacheng, which was the border city between Xiyuan Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom. It was a buffer place agreed between the two countries and neither side stationed troops here.

Shacheng was hundreds of miles away from Weicheng, the capital of Dongyuan Kingdom. It took seven or eight days to get there by carriage.

"You’ll sit in the same carriage as me." Chai Heng pointed to the carriage next to him, "This carriage is more stable."

"Yes!" Luo Jin responded.

When she got on the carriage, she realized that it didn't look big from the outside, but it was surprisingly spacious inside. There were tables, chairs, bookcases, and even a couch for sleeping.

On the road, Chai Heng kept reading a book while Luo Jin dozed off beside him. When she woke up, she found food on the table and reached out to take it. Suddenly she remembered her identity and retracted her hand. She stared at Chai Heng longingly and blinked desperately as a hint.

Chai Heng only found it amusing, "Eat it, eat whatever you want."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Luo Jin picked up a chicken leg and started to chew it.

 【The chicken legs are a little dry. They won’t be so dry if they were wrapped in batter and fried. 】

 【His Royal Highness, the Second Prince is gentle and handsome, but he has bad taste and likes that green tea Qin Huaying. But now he is fine. Finally out of trouble. 】

 【So tiring. My neck is sore. This carriage is so bumpy. 】

 【It would be great if there is a high-speed rail and this journey would only takes less than two hours. 】

 【His Royal Highness, the Second Prince is still reading. It turns out he works so hard... but he doesn't seem smart. 】

Chai Heng coughed violently.

"Your Highness, drink some water!" Luo Jin enthusiastically handed over the water, "Have some water and it’ll be fine."

Somewhat depressed, Chai Heng took the water and drank it in one gulp.

"Is His Highness unhappy?" Luo Jin received the cup with a smile, "Are you thinking about Miss Qin again?"

"No." Chai Heng replied in a sullen voice.

After he finished speaking, he was suddenly stunned.

He didn't lie. He really didn't think of Qin Huaying.

He had been paying attention to Luo Jin's thoughts along the way and unknowingly shifted his attention. Now that Luo Jin mentioned it, he didn't feel the same heartache as before.

"I've heard people say that the best way to heal a relationship is to start a new relationship." Luo Jin couldn't stop talking once she started talking. "Why don't I help His Highness introduce a good miss? I have good eyes and never judge wrongly!”

 【Speaking of which, the person more suitable for the second prince... I remember that Ke'er also married a scumbag. She isn’t a love brain and  later came out with the help of the heroine. No bad ending, en... 】

【But she is the daughter of a minor official. Will the second prince have any concerns about her status? The old emperor doesn't seem to be feudal minded. He probably won't dislike a daughter-in-law with low status, right? 】

 【Maybe he would give her father a promotion. I’m doing a good deed, right? 】

【It can’t be that I’m a genius? 】

【Anyway, I think it will work if these two people are brought together! 】

Chai Heng: "..."

He knew that Luo Jin's inner monologue was always rich, but this was too rich.

Just looking at the surface, one would have thought she was a quiet girl. But he felt that her quiet appearance might just be due to his status and prevented her from speaking casually.

He suddenly had a wish: if only she could speak as much as her inner monologue. If she was willing to say these words herself, then he would feel lucky in this life.

Luo Jin felt sleepy after eating. She asked tentatively: "Can I...servant sleep on that couch?"

"Go sleep."

 "Okay!"

Luo Jin laid down on the couch and soon her breathing became even. She was asleep.

Chai Heng put down the book and stared blankly at her sleeping face.

This little palace maid was good at gaining an inch and asking for a foot. Give her food and she had the courage to ask to sleep on the couch. If it were anyone else, he would feel quite displeased.

But for some reason, when Luo Jin did this, he only found it interesting and didn't feel disgusted at all.

The carriage stopped and the coachman said outside the carriage: "Your Highness, we have arrived at the posthouse."

"Okay, pass the order; rest here tonight and continue on the journey tomorrow morning."

 "yes!"

The coachman raised the curtain, put down the stool, and accidentally glanced into the carriage. His eyes almost popped out in an instant.

"Your Highness, she... how dare she..." The coachman lowered his voice, "Your Highness never lets others touch the bed, even if it is a temporary bed in the carriage..."

This coachman's name was Ah Xuan. As Chai Heng's bodyguard, he had followed Chai Heng for many years and knew that his master had some mysophobia.

Chai Heng said with a straight face, "If not? Where do you want her to sleep?"

"Uh...does she have to sleep during the day? It's not like there's no place to sleep at night..."

Ah Xuan didn't understand. She was obviously a palace maid. How dare she ask for a nap on the way? Who would spoil a palace maid to this point?

Chai Heng didn't answer, but just ordered, "Give her a separate room, prepare bath water, and get more delicious food."

Ah Xuan: "???"

WLAEF afterward 10

At this time, the Empress Dowager saw Mrs. Chen. She had some similarities with Jiang Yun Zhu...

Princess Danyang quickly introduced Mrs. Chen to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Qinglong.

The Empress Dowager had a good impression of Mrs. Chen. Last time, Attendant Qi helped Jiang Yun Zhu prepare for her wedding. She met Mrs. Chen, Jiang Cheng and others. She went back and told her that they were down-to-earth and did not bully others.

So when they met this time, she chatted a bit with Mrs. Chen.

After the Empress Dowager left with Emperor Qinglong, Mrs. Chen was still dazed. She had talked to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager seemed very cordial to her. Oh right, there was the Emperor. The Emperor spoke to her.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were the two most noble people in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Of course, she knew that all this was because of Jiang Yun Zhu, otherwise who would care about her, a village woman.

After another half month, she brought up her departure.

"Mother, it's hard to come to the capital. Please stay for a few more days before leaving." Jiang Yun Zhu persuaded her to stay.

Mrs. Chen shook her head. She came to the capital because she was worried about her. Now that she was doing well, she felt at ease.

"If you miss home, then go home and have a look." In the end, she said.

After Mrs. Chen left, Jiang Yun Zhu kept her words in mind. She wanted to go home and have a look.

She discussed with Shen Feng Ming about when to go home. There was something to deal with in Wuling County.

"Do you want to take Shen Heng with you?" Shen Feng Ming asked.

She must take him along. She didn't want to be separated from him. Besides, she could let Old Mister Chen and Jiang Cheng take a look at Shen Heng.

"Shen Heng is too young now." Shen Feng Ming said.

Jiang Yun Zhu knew this. Wasn’t she discussing the date with him?

In the end, the two decided to take Shen Heng back to Wuling County in the spring of next year.

In the spring of the next year, the fleets of Huang Che and Chi Zheng came back. They both brought back a large amount of gold and silver treasures.

Huang Che's fleet was supposed to come back first, but it took them some time to chase a group of pirates. That's why they were delayed until now.

Now Yunming Trading Company had a great reputation at sea. In the past, pirates robbed others, but now everyone knew that Yunming Trading Company's fleet specialized in killing pirates and could even pursue pirates for thousands of miles in order to destroy them.

What kind of people were this? What kind of spirit was this?

The pirates thought they were madmen and were frightened of them, while the passing fleets were in awe of them.

In this case, the business naturally ran smoothly and flourished.

"Don't do this next time." Jiang Yun Zhu disapproved when she heard that they were chasing the pirates. Pirates who kill people and steal goods should be killed. But this behavior of theirs, what if they were ambushed by the enemy?

The sea was so vast that it would be too late for her to save them.

Hearing what she said, Huang Che and others felt their hearts tremble. At that time, they were only focused on chasing, never considering getting ambushed. Fortunately, the pirates were running for their lives, otherwise...

It was too smooth at sea and they got a little carried away. Little did they know that too many ants could kill an elephant.

"Yes, we realized our mistake." Everyone bowed to Jiang Yun Zhu together.

"Be careful in the future." Jiang Yun Zhu warned, "Now the pirates are afraid of you and definitely want you to die. You should be extremely cautious at this time."

Huang Che, Li  Xing Lin and others all retired from the Qilin Guards and Yang Family Army. They have faced vicious people and cunning enemy troops countless times, so they certainly understood this truth.

With a layer of cold sweat breaking out on their bodies, they bowed to Jiang Yun Zhu again. They remembered this time and would be careful in the future.

Jiang Yun Zhu felt relieved after seeing this, "I have said before that for our fleet, safety comes first, making money comes second."

Everyone was moved and bowed again.

What happened after that was the same as last time, divide the money and prepare for the next trip to sea.

After everything was over, it was May. Jiang Yun Zhu and Shen Feng Ming took Shen Heng back to Wuling County. This was the first time Jiang Yun Zhu had returned to Wuling County since they left Wuling County the year before last. After finishing packing and preparing to set off, Princess Danyang and Academician Shen mutually walked out to send them off until Jiang Yun Zhu group were sent to the door.

They were reluctant to part with the three of them. This huge manor was lively when they were here. What's the point of it when they weren't here?

They were especially reluctant to part with Shen Heng. Shen Feng Ming had a cold personality, but little Shen Heng was lively and active. These days, the two of them have devoted almost all their love to him. He also liked them. Now being apart...

"Come back early." Academician Shen reminded again.

 "En." Jiang Yun Zhu agreed.

"Don't forget, Grandmother, I am Grandmother." Princess Danyang hugged Shen Heng with a sniff.

Shen Feng Ming reached out to hold Shen Heng.

"Gran..." Little Shen Heng suddenly grabbed Princess Danyang's sleeve and uttered this word.

Everyone was stunned for a moment. Then Princess Danyang was overjoyed, "Did Ah Heng speak? He called me Grandmother! Right, right? Did you hear that?" 

A little incoherently, she asked the people next to her excitedly.

"He had." Academician Shen was extremely surprised. He reached out to hug Shen Heng and said, "Ah Heng, I am Grandfather. Call me Grandfather!"

Princess Danyang did not let go at all, "Grandmother, I am Grandmother. Be good, call me again."

Shen Heng pursed his lips and said, "Grand..." 

Then his dark eyes stared and said nothing.

"Mother, Grandmother, mother." Princess Danyang taught him.

Suddenly, he stretched out his little hand to Jiang Yun Zhu, "Mom!"

This mom sounded loud and clear. Jiang Yun Zhu felt as if she had heard the sound of flowers blooming.

Shen Heng could speak! Although it was just one word at a time, such as dad, mom, grand, mother, father...

The family returned to the room and taught Shen Heng how to speak. They were happy for a long time.

Princess Danyang wanted the three of them not to leave at all, but May 27th was old Mister Chen's birthday. Jiang Yun Zhu had already decided to go back for that day.

In the afternoon, the three of them set off and left the capital.

There was plenty of time, so the three of them weren't in a hurry. While admiring the scenery, they taught Shen Heng about the outside world.

On the morning of May 27th, the three of them came to Changshi Village.

Old Mister Chen's fifty-eighth birthday wasn't a major birthday. He had no intention of celebrating it. In the past, it would have been decent to have a bowl of egg noodles to eat, but now that the Jiang family was prospering, Jiang Cheng wanted to liven things up.

It wasn't a big event, just bringing the family together and setting up a banquet.

Jiang Lin and Jiang Yun Xue came back yesterday. Early this morning, Mrs. Chen busied away.

At this moment, a group of carriages stopped outside. The curtain of the leading carriage lifted up. Shen Feng Ming jumped out of the carriage first, and then helped Jiang Yun Zhu get out of the carriage.

"Elder Sister?" Jiang Lin was cleaning the courtyard when he saw Jiang Yun Zhu. He was so surprised that his mouth opened wide.

Then he shouted, "Father, Grandfather, Mother! Elder Sister is back!"

When Jiang Cheng and others heard his shout, they didn't believe it at first. But when they looked at the entrance, they saw that it was Jiang Yun Zhu. She was back!

Everyone swarmed to the entrance to greet Jiang Yun Zhu and the others.

"Yun Zhu, you're back."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I can pick you up."

……

Everyone was chattering. Then they all saw Shen Heng in her arms. This was their great-grandson/grandson/nephew. He was so good-looking.

The family seemed to have endless things to say. Shen Feng Ming called people to move all the things out of the carriage. They were gifts that he and Jiang Yun Zhu prepared for old Mister Chen and others.

There were medicinal materials, pens and paper, as well as various snacks and pastries that weren't available in Wuling County. Completely filled three carriage full.

"Why are you bringing so many things? We have them at home." Jiang Cheng said.

"Yes, I’m happy that you can come back." Old Mister Chen also piped up. Only now did he feel that his birthday was meaningful.

"Just a little thought." Jiang Yun Zhu said.

"Come in and sit down, don't stand here." Ms. Chen reminded.

Everyone was so happy that they forgot about it. Only then they entered the house.

Jiang Yun Zhu looked over one by one. Old Mister Chen, Jiang Cheng, and Mrs. Chen had not changed much, except that their faces were rosier. However, Jiang Lin, Jiang Yun Xue, and Jiang Wu had undergone tremendous changes.

The last time she saw them was when she got married. It had been almost two years now. Jiang Lin had grown taller and looked like a young man. Jiang Yunxue was a big girl. Although she wasn't as good-looking as her and Jiang Yun Xiu, but the bookish air gave her a unique feel. The one who had changed the most was Jiang Wu. Jiang Yun Zhu somewhat couldn’t recognize him.

Jiang Cheng and others were looking at her and Shen Feng Ming. She looked more beautiful and gentle. Standing together with Shen Feng Ming, they looked like a couple.

"Good, good." Old Mister Chen praised.

The two sides talked about what happened during the time they were apart. There were two changes in the Jiang family. First, Jiangcheng's ride business was getting bigger and bigger. Now the family had eight carriages and hired several people to drive them. It was considered Wuling County's leader in this industry.

Second, just at the beginning of this spring, Jiang Lin passed the Tongsheng examination.

"Maybe there will be an official in our family in the future." Mrs. Chen said excitedly.

Jiang Lin's face was full of embarrassment. He had only passed the Tongsheng test at this age, so he had nothing to be proud of. But he will work hard and take the provincial examination in two years.

Jiang Yun Zhu felt he did pretty well. He became enlightened later than others.

Everyone continued to chat, and for some reason they mentioned the drought that year. Jiang Wu suddenly said, "Elder Sister, Grandmother and Eldest Uncle are so annoying."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room changed slightly.

Jiang Wu realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he quickly sat down and remained quiet.

"What's going on?" Jiang Yun Zhu decided to ask Mrs. Chen.
