After the general's wife was reborn, everyone knelt down and begged her for mercy.

"How about you use my dream that has a predictive function?" Lu Ximeng asked tentatively, "Maybe then... maybe you will make a meritorious deed. After all, I know the details."

Jiang Yan raised his eyes and looked at Ning Ruyan. He didn't say anything, just looked at her with a... strange look.

Ning Ruyan felt uncomfortable when he looked at her. Of course, she was more timid. She couldn't help but lower her head: "I just... I just said it casually. You can pretend... you didn't hear me."

"Haha, what if I told you that I also had a dream?"

"What?" Ning Ruyan suddenly raised her eyes.

"I dreamed about the snowstorm at the end of this year, and I also dreamed about the flood next year. Does this mean that we are connected?"

Ning Ruyan's mouth opened unconsciously, and what she was thinking in her mind was, did he also dream that they had slept together? But you can’t ask this question.

"However, I'm curious, what else did you dream about?" Jiang Yan reached out and lifted Ning Ruyan's chin, forcing her to look up at him, "For example, about me, or about us."

"No..." Ning Ruyan shook her head hastily.

"But you don't look like you haven't dreamed. You don't want to say it? You don't dare to say it? Or... you can't say it?"

"Aren't you also dreaming? Don't you know what's going on with you?" Ning Ruyan pushed the other person's hand away, "There's nothing I can't dare, I just dreamed so much."

"Haha." Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly smiled, "My temper has gone up."

Ning Ruyan shivered subconsciously, and wanted to stand up to accuse her, but her shoulders were held down, and she could only look at the other person anxiously. Maybe it was because of the other person's attitude towards her during these few meetings that she misunderstood. , I temporarily forgot about the other person’s character, so I felt a little embarrassed.

"You know you're afraid now?" Jiang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked at her with a half-smile.

Ning Ruyan swallowed: "I have nothing to be afraid of, because there is really nothing else." She was sure that the other party was deceiving her, and she could not be fooled. The matter of rebirth was too unbelievable. If she really told her, the other party might It will burn her to death.

And she wanted to believe that everything in her previous life was just a nightmare of hers.

"If you don't, then you won't. If you think of anything else, be sure to tell this commander."

"Okay." Ning Ruyan was relieved.

"Eat. When you're done, let Li Jiu take you back."

"Thank you, sir."

……

When Ning Ruyan left Yanyu Pavilion, she didn't expect to meet Youli at the door. She knelt down and saluted: "I've met the young master."

"Xiao Yan'er." Youli raised his hand, "This is for you." He said and handed over a jade gourd.

"This..." Ning Ruyan has been short of money since she was a child and has seen a lot of good things. Therefore, she can tell at a glance that this jade gourd is worth a lot, "It's too precious."

"Take that, too." Youli couldn't help but put the jade gourd into Ning Ruyan's hand, "Be sure to take it with you, it might be useful in the future."

"Thank you." Ning Ruyan saw that she couldn't refuse, so she simply accepted it.

"Go back." Youli waved his hand, "However, you have to be careful about those individuals in the General's Mansion. If possible, leave. If you need help, ask Ayan."

"Okay." Ning Ruyan nodded, then turned around and got into the carriage.

The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of the General's Mansion. When Ning Ruyan got out of the car, she looked around and found no Yulin Guard, and she couldn't help but frown.

"Miss Ning, do you need me to call the door for you?" The driver was from the Yulin Guards. Seeing that the door of General Dingguo's mansion was closed, he couldn't help but ask.

"Thank you, brother. I'll do it myself." Ning Ruyan stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and when the concierge saw Ning Ruyan, he hurriedly let the person in.

When Yu Linwei, who was driving the car, saw Ning Ruyan entering the door, he turned the car and left.

Before Ning Ruyan reached Wutong Courtyard, Bai Zhi and Banxia came over to greet her, their eyes red with surprise: "Miss, you are finally back."

"The general and the second young master are back?" Ning Ruyan asked.

"Yes." Ban Xia nodded, "It was evening yesterday, and there was a message over there asking people to pay a ransom of five hundred taels per person, but if it passes yesterday, the price will increase."

"Didn't they come over there to ask for money?"

"I'm here, but Sister Bai Zhi and I didn't open the door." Ban Xia curled her lips.

"Well done." Ning Ruyan smiled.

After returning to Wutong Courtyard, after she freshened up, someone from Shoukang Courtyard came and asked Ning Ruyan to go there. After all, Jiang Changgong and Jiang Bowen were back, and she, the head of the family, had to show up.

And Ning Ruyan knew that the Huo family was going to seize power.

When it comes to tearing down mills, killing donkeys, crossing rivers, and tearing down bridges, Huo has always done it well.

"Just say I'm sick." Ning Ruyan had no intention of going there now. "I was called to Nanyuan several times. I was scared and needed to call my soul."

"I'm going to find Granny Chen." Ban Xia ran out quickly, and soon called a rough lady in the yard over.

Mrs. Chen is also one of Ning Ruyan's dowries. She has no children. She usually does some washing work in Wutong Courtyard and makes some heretical remarks. For example, when someone is frightened, taking medicine may not work, but Mrs. Chen only needs to After calling Hun'er, everything will be fine when I wake up. Xiaohua and Xiaoshan will benefit from it.

"I've met the eldest lady."

"Mother Chen, you'll wake me up soon. The louder the noise, the better. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Mrs. Chen smiled, and then began to prepare the items.

The person sent by Shoukang Academy to summon people was Aunt Yuan. Instead of seeing Ning Ruyan, she saw a soul-calling activity similar to a dancing god.

"Madam, she..."

"Mammy, the eldest lady has been called to Nanyuan for questioning several times, and she even saw Nanyuan interrogating prisoners. She had been holding on for the sake of the General's Mansion before, but now she found that the General's Mansion was fine, and she couldn't hold on anymore. , I immediately got a high fever, and I was talking nonsense, wuwu..." Bai Zhi pulled Aunt Yuan and started to complain, "Mommy, tell me, will my lady be okay?"

Aunt Yuan looked confused. How could she answer? Therefore, I can only smile bitterly: "Miss Bai Zhi, the eldest lady is auspicious and everything will be fine."

"Thank you, Aunty. If my wife gets better, I will definitely thank you for your kind words." Bai Zhi bowed to Aunt Yuan Yingying.

"I don't dare to take it." Aunt Yuan waved her hand, "I will go back and report to the old lady right now. I will go there after the eldest lady is well." After saying that, she turned around and left. In fact, she was grateful to Ning Ruyan. After all, without her, she would not be able to do anything now. It's impossible to replace Aunt Zhong. Sometimes you don't have to do anything to reciprocate a favor, you can just turn a blind eye.
