When Shen Qinglan arrived at the yard, she saw Gu Junyuan and a skinny little child sitting face to face.

The two of them stared at each other, neither of them willing to look away, as if they were afraid that if they looked away first, the other would run away.

Of course, Gu Junyuan was afraid that the child would run away, but the child was afraid that Gu Junyuan would snatch the package from him! He was holding it tightly at this moment.

When Shen Qinglan came out, Gu Junyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and stopped staring at the child. She quickly ran to Shen Qinglan's side, hugged Shen Qinglan's arm, pointed at Lu Huaizhu and complained:

"Sister Shen! Lu Huaizhu bullied me!"

Lu Huaizhu's eyes widened, and he angrily retorted: "You are the villain who filed the complaint first?"

"What did I say wrong? Are you trying to deny that you took advantage of me?"

"I……"

"You peeked at me taking a shower!"

"I do not……"

"You even kissed me!"

"no……"

"You're still hugging me!"

"Misunderstand!"

Shen Qinglan widened her eyes and looked back and forth between Lu Huaizhu and Gu Junyuan in surprise.

What did she miss?

Lu Huaizhu felt wronged when Shen Qinglan looked at him suspiciously. He immediately raised three fingers and swore to the sky:

"Cousin, you have to believe me! It's all a misunderstanding!"

"At that time, her stupid ass had already been deceived and she cleaned herself up and was sold. I only came in to save her!"

"Besides, what about hugging her and kissing her? I was running with her and she fell accidentally. It was just an accident!"

Lu Huaizhu explained angrily.

At that time, he happened to be passing through Lucheng with a few children, and happened to see Gu Junyuan with a group of people. He thought those people were a little strange, so he kept an eye on them.

As a result, he happened to find out that the stupid girl Gu Junyuan was deceived and sold to a country landowner as a second wife!

If he hadn't rescued her in time, this silly girl would have become the sixty-year-old landowner's second wife!

That's a typical case of being sold out and still counting money. It's him who is being a good person in vain!

Lu Huaizhu's words left Gu Junyuan speechless. She stammered for a while before pouting and saying:

"Maybe they are good people. They said they would take me to cultivate immortality, and you are blocking my path to immortality."

Lu Huaizhu rolled his eyes, looked at Shen Qinglan and said, "Look, this stupid girl has read too many storybooks and her brain has been damaged."

Shen Qinglan's temples couldn't help but throb. After a moment of silence, he patted Gu Junyuan on the shoulder and said:

"I'll send someone to take you back home first. Your elder brother has been unwell recently and is on leave and recuperating in bed at home."

"What? Seriously?"

When Gu Junyuan heard that her eldest brother was ill and his condition was so serious that he had to stay in bed at home, she immediately looked worried.

"Well, he fainted right in front of me a few days ago. Maybe it's serious. You'll know when you go back and take a look."

"Okay! I'll be back right away!"

Now, Gu Junyuan didn't delay any longer and ran home immediately.

Although Gu Junyuan is a bit willful and rebellious, she and Gu Changqing are biological sisters after all. How could she really run around with a clear conscience after knowing that Gu Changqing is in poor health?

After Shen Qinglan watched Gu Junyuan leave, he gave Shuyu an order:

"Now have someone pass the message to Senior Brother through the back door as fast as possible, and tell him to keep a close eye on the person this time."

"Yes!" Shu Yu held back his laughter and hurriedly did as he was told.

Shen Qinglan had no choice. Gu Junyuan almost sold herself every time she went out. If she ran around again, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.

and……

She even believed in things like cultivating immortals. Shen Qinglan didn't know what outrageous scam she would be deceived by next time.

So... let the eldest brother have the headache.

Lu Huaizhu was already grinning so hard that his teeth were visible.

He said! That stupid girl is stupid, right? It is indeed true!

but……

"My cousin, you lied so seriously that I almost believed you."

Shen Qinglan glanced at Lu Huaizhu and denied it seriously: "I didn't lie to her."

"Ah? Is Doctor Gu really terminally ill?" Lu Huaizhu couldn't help but feel worried.

"That's not the case. I just selectively said that Senior Brother did faint in front of me and is indeed on leave at home, bedridden, but..."

Shen Qinglan didn't say anything else, but Lu Huaizhu already understood.

Gu Changqing is hiding at home to ensure safety.

So, Shen Qinglan did not lie, he just skipped the important things.

When you lie, it should be eight parts true and two parts false, a mixture of truth and lies, so that people can believe it.

Shen Qinglan withdrew his gaze and it fell on the child holding the bundle.

When the child saw Shen Qinglan looking at him, he hugged his bag tightly with some fear and nervousness, and then looked at Lu Huaizhu hopefully.

After all, he only knew Lu Huaizhu here.

Lu Huaizhu did not show any sign of being soft-hearted. Instead, he grinned at the child:

"You see, I am useless! In this mansion, everyone has to listen to this person. If you know what's good for you, why don't you tell me what's in your bag?"

Upon hearing this, the child lowered his head in disappointment, holding his bag and refusing to say a word.

Shen Qinglan patted Lu Huaizhu's shoulder, glared at him, and said, "Why are you scaring him?"

"Why are you scared?" I'm just stating the facts.

Shen Qinglan did not say anything else, but just looked at the child and asked:

"Your name is Ren Yuanjie, right? You are the youngest son of County Magistrate Ren, and the grandson of the Ninth Prince's wet nurse, am I right?"

The child was Ren Yuanjie. After hearing Shen Qinglan's words, he suddenly looked up at Shen Qinglan in surprise, his eyes full of fear.

He thought about it, turned around and tried to run, but after only two steps, Lu Huaizhu grabbed him by the collar and brought him back:

"Why are you running?"

"Let go! Let me go!"

Ren Yuanjie struggled desperately with his small body, but was unable to break free from Lu Huaizhu. He closed his eyes in despair and began to cry.

As he cried, Ren Yuanjie felt the hand holding his collar loosen, and a scented handkerchief gently wiped his tears.

When Ren Yuanjie opened his eyes, he saw Shen Qinglan squatting in front of him, wiping his tears.

He looked at Shen Qinglan in some surprise, and tears immediately hung on his face, seeming to be unable to fall, which was a bit funny.

Shen Qinglan laughed, wiped his tears, then stood up, rubbed his head and said:

"Don't worry. I'm not saying this to do anything to you. I just want to confirm your identity."

"Your family tried so hard to keep you alive, it must have been difficult. I also have children, so I can understand. If you were Ren Yuanjie, I would have someone send you to the Ninth Prince's Palace."

After a pause, Shen Qinglan sighed and said with some pity:

"You must have had a hard time along the way, right?"
