The next day, Fu Ying indeed changed his face again.

This time he turned into an uncle with a haggard face.

Nanny Chun looked at him and quietly touched Qin Shu. Qin Shu nodded slightly without making a sound.

Nanny Chun carefully leaned close to Qin Shu's ear and whispered, "You're not leaving?"

Qin Shu tilted her head slightly and replied in a low voice, "The furniture hasn't been repaired yet."

Fu Ying pretended not to hear, and his mouth twitched slightly. He carried a piece of wood and went to the East Garden with an expressionless face.

Early in the morning on the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Youlin entered the Qin Mansion with the rouge box customized by Qin Shu.

As he was walking, a flower farmer who was pruning flowers by the roadside suddenly turned around and smiled at him.

Li Youlin's strides forward suddenly stopped, he turned around in disbelief, took a closer look at the "flower farmer", and his eyes suddenly widened.

He looked around, tugged at Fu Ying's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Fu Ying was surprised. "I've been here for quite a while, don't you know that?"

Li Youlin suddenly remembered what Qin Shu asked him that day, and suddenly felt something was not right.

Just as he was about to ask about the details, Qin Shu suddenly appeared at the door and looked at him with a smile, "Brother, you're here? I just happened to have something to talk to you about."

Li Youlin had no choice but to "command" Fu Rong in a pretentious manner, "This part is not cut well, cut it again."

Fu Ying looked down at the flowers and plants that were almost reaching their roots: Cut them again?

Just cut it bald?

Li Youlin walked up to Qin Shu and asked, "What do you want from me, Miss?"

Qin Shu raised her chin towards Fu Rong and said with a fake smile, "Brother, do you know him?"

Li Youlin subconsciously wanted to deny it.

Qin Shu quickly added, "It's not his real face, is it?"

She smiled at Li Youlin's embarrassed expression and said, "You can recognize him even though he's in disguise. Is it because everyone in the martial arts world knows about it?"

Li Youlin's eyes darted around, he made a fist with one hand, put it in front of his lips and coughed lightly, then smiled and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault, I'll apologize to the young lady now."

Qin Shu then smiled and turned back to the main hall.

After sitting down, Qin Shu asked seriously, "Brother, since you are from the Bounty Hall, I wonder how the matter that Shu'er asked for last time went?"

Li Youlin nodded slightly and said, "It has been done."

Qin Shu felt relieved, took out five hundred taels of silver from the inner room, and handed it to Li Youlin, "Then please trouble my brother to deliver the rest of the silver for me."

Li Youlin put away the banknote and said, "Today is the day the soldiers were originally scheduled to come to the mansion. Rong Feng and I agreed to meet them at the South City Gate, but he had something urgent to do and couldn't come today. The time is about the same. If the young lady has nothing else to do, I will go there first."

Qin Shu agreed.

Li Youlin thought for a moment and said, "That guy..."

Qin Shu smiled, "Chongan."

Li Youlin blushed slightly and said, "Let Chong'an go with me?"

"it is good."

After leaving the house, Li Youlin tugged at Fu Ying's sleeve and asked him in a low voice, "She actually knew your true identity? Why did you tell her everything?"

I've never seen him so defenseless towards others before?

Fu Yu's eyes widened in shock, "Didn't you tell her that?"

Li Youlin felt like he was about to die of humiliation. "No way! When the eldest lady asked me yesterday, I said I didn't know you. Also, how did you get into the Qin Mansion? When did you come?"

Fu Ying was stunned for a while, then suddenly laughed, "But Miss Qin said you told her everything, and she was very sure of it."

Li Youlin sighed, "You were deceived by her."

Fu Rong smiled indifferently, "I know."

Not the first time.

Li Youlin looked at his friend speechlessly, and after a moment he asked, "Didn't you go back? Why are you in Jinzhou again?"

Fu Ying sighed and said, "Don't mention it. I fell into a trap and was almost killed. That bastard Fu Jing not only stabbed me but also poisoned me."

"I only know that you are in Jinzhou, and my mother is a wet nurse in the Qin Mansion. Those people are chasing me closely, so I want to try my luck in the Qin Mansion."

"If it weren't for Miss Qin's help, you would be crying on my grave right now."

Li Youlin sighed and said, "Go away, what depressing words are you talking about."

Fu Yu looked at Li Youlin in surprise. "To be honest, if I hadn't seen you in Qin's house today, I really wouldn't have known that you have such a gentle and virtuous side. So, are you planning to turn over a new leaf?"

Li Youlin avoided answering and said, "Fu Jing wants to kill you. If Patriarch Fu knew about this, would he let him off easily?"

Fu Ying sighed deeply, "The Fu family is no longer the same as before. In the early years, they hoarded those pitiful mechanical arts and hid them from the world. They were just trying to gain fame and reputation and wait for a good price to sell them."

"The Fu family is now in decline and at the end of its rope. Whoever can find a way out for the Fu family will be the next head of the Fu family."

Li Youlin said: "So Fu Jing hooked up with Prince Ning."

Fu Rong nodded, "Yes."

But Fu Rong is the master of mechanical engineering, and he holds the most core secret book of the Fu family.

If Fu Jing wants to come out on top in the competition for the position of family leader, he must first find a way to use someone else to kill Fu Rong and obtain the secret book of Fu's mechanical arts.

Li Youlin rode his horse for a long time before he said slowly, "I feel that your experience is somewhat similar to that of the eldest lady. If you don't plan to go back, why not stay in the Qin Mansion. Perhaps you can get inspiration from her and find a different path for the Fu family."

Fu Rong looked at Li Youlin carefully, and after a while he asked, "It seems that you treat this Miss Qin very differently. How do you treat her..."

Li Youlin turned to look at Fu Rong, smiled faintly and said, "She calls me brother." He paused and said, "Same as Xing Er."

Fu Rong curled his lips quietly.

A small face like a snowball suddenly appeared in Li Youlin's mind.

That year, one month after my mother gave birth to my sister, she left my father and son and took my infant sister to the Qin Mansion to be a wet nurse.

Dad is sick and has to take medicine all year round.

Even though the master and mistress of the Qin family were generous, the monthly allowance they gave to my mother was as much as five taels of silver.

But their home was still so poor that only the barren air remained.

Once, Li Youlin went out to chop wood and was rescued from a pack of wolves by his master.

From then on, he embarked on the path of martial arts.

Four years later, Dad passed away.

Li Youlin returned to his hometown to bury his father and suddenly wanted to go see his mother and sister.

That was his first time entering the Qin Mansion and the first time he saw that delicate and beautiful little face that looked like a glutinous rice ball.

Qin Shu loved to laugh when she was a child. She would show her tiny teeth and call him "brother" in a sweet voice.

Every time she saw him, her fair, tender little face would be raised high, tugging at the corner of his clothes, her bright black eyes filled with stars, and she would stretch out her arms towards him and say, "Brother, hug me."

However, his own sister, Xing'er, was very unfamiliar with him. She always hid behind the crack of the door and looked at him timidly.

At that time, when he talked to his mother, he always liked to call her "Sister Shu" and so on.

His mother would seriously correct him, "You can't call her sister, you have to call her Miss."

But in Li Youlin's heart, Qin Shu is also a younger sister.

After completing his studies, he became a killer at the Bounty House.

When I saw Qin Shu again, she had grown into a big girl, dressed in white and looking haggard.

Only a pair of dark eyes, no longer as cheerful and lively as before, like an ancient well, hiding a bottomless coldness...
