Xiao Wenshu was anxiously waiting for her news in the mansion, but unexpectedly he was the only one there.

"Brother, where is Qingyu? Didn't you go to pick her up?" Xiao Wenshu looked behind him, but there was no trace of her, nor did he hear her cheering voice.

He walked past Xiao Wenshu and said, "She went back to the Jiang Mansion."

Hearing these words, Xiao Wenshu froze in place, taking a long time to react.

"Brother! Why?! Why let her go back to the Jiang Mansion?" Xiao Wenshu's hurried voice trembled slightly.

They all knew what would happen if Qingyu went back. They had clearly said that they would not let her suffer that pain again, so why did they still let her go back? !

He stood still, and his calm words showed no emotion. "This is her own decision."

Xiao Wenshu felt like there was a stone blocking his heart. He didn't know what to do. A few casual words seemed like an endless abyss to her. He didn't believe it.

"Brother! You clearly said that you would never let her go back?! Why?!" The anger that had been suppressed in Xiao Wenshu's heart burst out of his head at this moment.

He didn't respond and walked straight into the study.

Xiao Wenshu rushed in and stood in front of him, "Brother! Tell me why?!"

He took a deep breath, and the bitterness in his heart eventually spread to the coldness in his eyes, "Wen Shu, we all know that this is what she has to do."

Something that must be done?!

To Xiao Wenshu, this ridiculous reason was enough to disregard her safety and build their goals on her pain?! He couldn't do it!

"Brother, how long do you want to use Qingyu?!" It's been half a year, they have known each other for half a year, isn't there any change in brother's heart?

Xiao Wenshu's words seemed to pierce his heart. He also asked himself, have I still used her until now? Can I still stop worrying about her?

Yes, he couldn't do it.

"Wen Shu, I can't convince her, nor can I stop her from pursuing her goal."

"Then can we just watch her being tortured by the Jiang family?" Xiao Wenshu was scared. He was afraid that if he didn't do something, he would never see her again.

"I'm going to bring her back." Ignoring the obstruction, Xiao Wenshu turned around and prepared to leave.

"Stop!" he suddenly ordered sternly.

Xiao Wenshu stopped, clenched his fists, and endured, "Brother, I don't know what Qingyu means to you."

"But to me, she was a friend, a friend who was like family. She gave me hope for the future. But not only could I not help her, I also watched her go into hell again and again."

"I can not do it!"

"Do you think I want her to go back? Do you think I didn't stop him?"

He no longer had the calmness of the past. Even if he had tremendous power, as long as he wanted to achieve his goals, there had to be sacrifices. She knew this, and she had actually done it.

"The reason Jiang Zhuo wanted her to go back this time is because His Majesty began to suspect that Jiang Zhuo was using Jiang Qingyu to obtain information. In order to dispel His Majesty's concerns, Jiang Zhuo had no choice but to let Jiang Qingyu return home!" He suppressed his anger and explained patiently.

"But there's no guarantee that Jiang Zhuo won't hurt her."

"Yes, you are right, but she promised me that she would not be hurt and would not swallow her anger."

"If you break it all now, do you think she'll be satisfied?"

Hearing his words, Xiao Wenshu was overwhelmed with thoughts. He wanted to protect her, but he didn't know how to do it.

"Wen Shu, her determination has already exceeded your imagination."

But Xiao Wenshu didn't understand, "Why? Do you want to avenge her mother?"

He shook his head. "Only she knows."

"I trust her this time. I believe she will be safe."

"Brother, what if...what if she gets hurt?"

He pondered for a moment, as if trying to steady himself, "Then the deal between me and her is completely over."

"it is good."

Xiao Wenshu walked out of the study in a depressed mood. Now he could only listen to his brother.

He looked back into the house, still having doubts in his heart. Is this really Qingyu's wish?

"Prince." Qianyun called him from outside the house, "Please don't blame His Highness."

Xiao Wenshu sighed, "I'm not blaming my brother, it's just..."

"Prince, in fact, His Highness cares a lot about Miss Qingyu."

"Why do you say that?" he was puzzled.

"Your Highness is as upset as the prince." Qian Yun did not explain further. He left this sentence and turned to go into the house.

Xiao Wenshu looked back at the candlelight emanating from the room, feeling a pain that touched his heart tormenting him.

……

Qing Yu returned to Jiang Mansion.

Although it was covered by candlelight, it was suppressed by the silent darkness, washing away the magnificent colors. Whether it was day or night, it was just a decadent disguise to her.

She stared blankly at the woman who came to greet her, a face that had yet to appear in Jiang Qingyu's memory, Shen Han, Jiang Zhuo's concubine, a woman who watched coldly from the sidelines.

"Qingyu, your aunt has prepared a room for you." Shen Han smiled, and her sweet voice seemed to bring them closer in an instant.

If she had to be extremely cautious when facing Jiang Zhuo, then she must not be careless when facing this woman.

Qing Yu unconsciously tightened her hands around the package, and her nervousness was clearly visible to the woman.

"Thank you, aunt." Qing Yu lowered his head timidly.

The smile on Shen Han's lips deepened a little, "Let's go."

She pretended to be timid and followed the woman, and the woman took her back to a garden that belonged to her.

Jiang Qingyu used to live here with her mother, and the garden was filled with her mother's favorite flowers. Even if it was only in her memory, she could feel the happiness of being surrounded by the fragrance and sweetness.

The garden has been abandoned for a long time. Even if it is cleaned up, it no longer has the warmth it once had. It is only lonely and deserted.

"Your father said that your mother liked this courtyard the most, so I specially asked the servants to clean it up. You can live here in the future."

Shen Han's attitude seemed gentle, but every word he said was harsh.

After Jiang Qingyu's mother passed away, her treatment plummeted, and she was even driven out of the courtyard. She begged her father and brother, but they still destroyed the only thing she wanted to keep.

Now, she has returned to this courtyard, but the person who missed the courtyard is no longer there. The real Jiang Qingyu is dead.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, aunt."

"The maids are all here. Feel free to tell them if you need anything."

She glanced at the maid beside her, who was just watching her.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early."

"Yes, aunt, you should go to bed early too." She bowed.

She watched Shen Han's back as he left.

Shen Han is very smart. She seems to have no ambitions or desires, but in fact, she has suppressed all of them deep in her heart.

She never takes sides easily before the situation becomes clear. No matter how things go, she can withdraw safely. She seems not to be involved in anything, but who knows what role she plays in the end.
