Let's walk together for the rest of our lives. If the host says to leave, she will leave.

Shen Nian'an has always been a man who would take revenge on the spot. He found out the details and knew that Gu Ling would definitely be in Mianhua Pavilion tonight, so he led Dong Qing and sneaked in here quietly, intending to teach Gu Ling a lesson.

"How is it? Do you know which room Gu Ling and the oiran went to?"

Dongqing told Shen Nian'an the location. He smiled happily and rolled up his sleeves to climb the tree, intending to climb over the wall by relying on the big tree in the backyard of Mianhua Pavilion.

Dongqing didn't have the same skills as his master. After trying to persuade him in vain, he could only watch his master climb up the tree with a look of helplessness on his face.

Shen Nian'an had a lot of experience in climbing trees, and he climbed up in no time. He stood on the tall tree and waved at Holly, and the silver bell on the long whip at his waist rang slightly.

Dong Qing looked at the string of firecrackers in his hand and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. He threw the firecrackers up and hung them on a branch higher than Shen Nian'an.

Shen Nian'an cursed Dong Qing in his heart for being unreliable. He stood on tiptoe to reach for the firecrackers, but he was still a little short.

Shen Nian'an held his breath and jumped lightly. He finally got the firecracker in his hand. However, because of his unstable center of gravity, he fell towards the wall.

"Holly! Help!"

The long whip around his waist was tightly wrapped around him, and Shen Nian'an couldn't untie it for a while, so he couldn't use the whip to wrap around the branches to save himself. The silver bell on the whip handle rang crisply, and he closed his eyes and waited for the coming pain.

Gu Ling heard the voice, looked up, and recognized Shen Nian'an at a glance. She hurriedly took two steps forward and caught Shen Nian'an.

Shen Nian'an was so scared that her face turned pale. She looked up and saw Gu Ling's familiar face. She didn't care about any past grudges and just pouted her lips, ready to cry.

Gu Ling's heart skipped a beat, and thinking of Young Master Shen's loud voice, he planned to cover his mouth, but he was holding Shen Nian'an with both hands and had no space to do anything.

She suddenly exerted force on Shen Nian'an's shoulders and pressed Shen Nian'an's face into her arms.

Shen Nian’an: ???

Shen Nian'an was a little confused. The crying feeling that had just been brewing disappeared in an instant, and the cry that was about to reach her throat was forcibly held back.

Shen Nian'an's mind was blank. He could smell the faint aroma of wine and the incense on Gu Ling's clothes. He felt a little dizzy and couldn't react for a long time.

Gu Ling felt a little strange. Why was there no movement in his arms?

She relaxed her grip on Shen Nian'an's hand and looked down at him. She saw that Shen Nian'an's face had turned red, and her face was filled with the question: Who am I? Where am I?

Aren't you scared out of your wits?

"Mr. Shen, are you okay?"

This voice awakened Shen Nian'an's sanity. He seemed to finally remember that he could breathe. He gasped for breath and struggled to get out of Gu Ling's arms.

Gu Ling put him down and put his arms around Shen Nian'an's waist. As expected, Shen Nian'an, whose legs were a little weak, threw himself into Gu Ling's arms as soon as he landed on the ground.

Shen Nian'an relaxed, and finally stood firm when he felt that his body had regained strength. He stammered, "Thank you, thank you."

Gu Ling took a step back to keep a distance from Shen Nian'an. Suddenly, she stepped on something. She looked down and found it was a string of firecrackers.

Gu Ling bent down to pick up the firecracker and handed it to Shen Nian'an: "Are you here to set off firecrackers?"

Shen Nian'an nodded hesitantly.

Shen Nian'an originally planned to throw a string of firecrackers in from the window when Gu Ling and the courtesan were in love, giving Gu Ling an unforgettable memory. After getting his revenge, they would then keep their distance from each other and be even.

However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes.

What should he do? The target of his revenge has become his savior. Should he set off the firecrackers or not?

Gu Ling was puzzled: "Why are you setting off firecrackers for no reason?"

Shen Nian'an's mind was working frantically. He couldn't say that he was here for revenge. When he saw Gu Ling wearing the same red clothes as always, his mind skipped a beat.

"I heard you were getting married tonight, so I came to light some firecrackers to celebrate for you."

Gu Ling: ???

Get married? Who?

If Gu Ling hadn't known that Shen Nian'an was well protected by the Shen family and had no ulterior motives, he would have thought that Shen Nian'an was mocking him.

Shen Nian'an's hands moved restlessly, as if he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Oh my God, what nonsense am I talking about? Who would get married in a brothel?

When Gu Ling saw Shen Nian'an lowering his head, looking uneasy and very embarrassed, he knew there must be another hidden story.

Perhaps Shen Nian'an, like the Eleventh Prince, was just curious about the Oiran, so he came to join in the fun.

But what exactly is this string of firecrackers used for?

Gu Ling pretended to believe his nonsense and said, "I came here to drink today. I didn't do anything. The Oiran has nothing to do with me."

Gu Ling didn't know why she had to explain it in such detail, but she just felt that she should explain it.

Otherwise, if others asked about it, Shen Nian'an would not be able to find an excuse, and it would be bad to fool others by saying that she got married in a brothel as he had fooled her.

Although her reputation was already bad, there was really no need to add to it.

Shen Nian'an nodded, indicating that he understood. His affair with the courtesan was indeed not suitable to be made public. He smiled awkwardly, "I understand. I misunderstood. I'll go back now. Goodbye, Miss Gu."

Shen Nian'an turned around, opened the back door and went out. He finally found a ladder and was ready to rescue the young master. Dong Qing heard the sound and looked over. He circled around Shen Nian'an like a little bee: "Young master, did you fall anywhere? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Shen Nian'an dealt with Dong Qing in a chaotic manner and just wanted to leave quickly.

In the deep night, Gu Ling looked at the master and servant who were gradually going away, and sighed with some fatigue.

As a man, why do you go out in the middle of the night without protection?

How could she know that Shen Nian'an was wielding the whip with such vigor and power that ordinary people could do nothing to him with the whip in his hand.

Gu Ling followed the two of them from a distance and vaguely heard Dong Qing's helpless voice, asking Shen Nian'an not to come to her in the future. He was even more confused about the purpose of Shen Nian'an's visit.

Gu Ling saw them enter the Shen Mansion with his own eyes, and then he found a wall and climbed over it with skillful movements.

When he entered Shen Jingyi's room and saw Shen Jingyi sleeping soundly on the bed, he immediately became furious.

She stayed up late outside, planned things, and also served as a bodyguard for Shen Jingyi's brother, but this guy slept so carelessly that she couldn't stand it.

Gu Ling pinched Shen Jingyi's nose and covered her mouth. Soon Shen Jingyi woke up: "Gu Ling! What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Gu Ling leaned against the bed, folding his arms across his chest: "I, Gu Ling, am a miserable person. How can I have such a good thing as sleeping? It's my fault for listening to you and disturbing Miss Shen's sweet dream."

Gu Ling is the main person in charge of Mianhua Pavilion. Coupled with her playboy personality, she often has her days and nights reversed.

As the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Personnel, Shen Jingyi secretly placed people in the officialdom. She usually followed Minister Shen to understand the infighting in the officialdom, and her work and rest schedule was very regular.

Moreover, what Emperor Zhao of Yan hated most was the alliance between powerful civil officials and military officials. Therefore, in the eyes of the outside world, Shen Jingyi and Gu Ling were absolutely unrelated.

The two of them usually have a clear division of labor and discuss things together. What has provoked Gu Ling today?

Listen, listen! This is so weird and unpleasant to the ear.
