All that was left was the slightly swaying, inexplicable emotion that had not yet had time to be restrained.

Jun Zhao didn't say anything. He suddenly turned his head to glance at the movement in the outer room, then slowly stood up.

The handsome face was gentle and elegant, but Mu Luan felt that the man was not happy with her words.

"Soul-calming soup."

Mu Luan listened to the man's indifferent words, then walked to the window frame beside her, supported herself with one hand on the windowsill and flipped over.

Before she could react, the man's dark silhouette had already merged into the thick night.

Mu Luan moved her body, stood up and wanted to get off the bed to take a look, then she saw Yin Xin lifting the curtain and walking in, holding a new candlestick in her hand.

She retracted her feet, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat back on the couch.

Yinxin saw her young lady staring intently at the dark night, and couldn't help but stretch her neck to look as well.

It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

He withdrew his curiosity and quickly replaced the candlestick on the table that was about to burn out.

Mu Luan withdrew his gaze and slowly fell on the medicine on the small table. After hesitating for a moment, he picked it up and drank it.

Yinxin thought that her young lady would have to wait until it got darker and the dew got heavier before she could fall asleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as she changed the candlestick, the young lady said she wanted to rest.

On the second day, Mu Luan did not sleep in. He changed clothes, washed up, and ate on time as usual.

Not long after breakfast, a loud and carefree voice was heard from the courtyard. Mu Luan could clearly hear her heroic voice even from a distance.

"This yard is nice, the flowers are in full bloom, it feels like a paradise. I'll ask my dad to plant a couple of peaches later. I just don't know if we can have them in time for the summer peaches..."

Shen Yin put one hand behind her back and pressed a piece of peach branch with the other hand. She put it to her nose and sniffed it. The fragrance of the flowers filled the air, and she immediately squinted her eyes in comfort.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw a sweet and soft girl in a light pink dress standing in front of the steps.

Shen Yin quickly let go of the branch in her hand and walked towards her quickly, muttering, "Miss Mu."

"Miss Shen, if you don't mind, you can call me Yaoyao," Mu Luan said with a humble smile on her face, welcoming Shen Yin into the house.

Shen Yin did not dress up as a man today. She was wearing a purple suit, and her heroic look was mixed with a hint of girlishness.

"Yaoyao?"

She stroked her chin, took a step back, looked Mu Luan up and down, and nodded in approval, "She is indeed as beautiful as a fairy. Yaoyao is a good name."

Shen Yin's eyes were filled with amazement, and her words were naturally from the bottom of her heart.

Mu Luan chuckled and explained shyly: "It's not the yao in fairy, it's the yao in peach blossoms."

"Escape?"

Shen Yin wondered, where could she escape to when she was so beautiful?

How come you got such a weird nickname?

But it didn't matter. Soon she stopped worrying and said cheerfully, "Okay, Yaoyao, it sounds nice and easy to pronounce. It's a courtesy to reciprocate. From now on, you can call me Ayin."

"Ayin," Mu Luan called softly. The name sounded gentle and graceful like a woman's.

Shen Yin has always been open and aboveboard in doing things, never being shy, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably awkward in front of Mu Luan.

Mu Luan asked her to sit down and asked Yin Xin to prepare a fresh fruit plate to entertain Shen Yin.

Shen Yin was fidgeting, as if the chair had thorns on it, so she simply stood up, took a deep breath, and looked at Mu Luan.

When Mu Luan saw the originally quiet girl suddenly jump up and stand in front of her with her head straightened, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and look at Shen Yin curiously.

Then she whispered in an apologetic voice: "I'm really sorry, it's my fault. If you hadn't asked Mu Qingyu to escort me back home drunk, you wouldn't have gotten into trouble, and you wouldn't have suffered the evil deeds of Zhou Yunan."

Mu Luan listened to her sincere voice quietly, and his eyebrows softened. He stood up and said, "Ayin, don't blame yourself. I have nothing to do anyway. I also happened to see a unique fireworks display in the capital."

Shen Yin felt even more guilty when she heard her nonchalant tone and how she could easily brush it off as something interesting.

Mu Luan pulled her hand and pressed her to sit on the chair. Shen Yin caught a glimpse of a faint bandage and immediately held her hand and lifted her sleeve to take a closer look.

"Is it serious? Will it leave scars?"

Shen Yin frowned, she didn't care whether she would have scars on her body or not, but it was different for Mu Luan, if such a white and delicate skin was left with scars, she would definitely feel uncomfortable.

Mu Luan shook her head and said, "It's just a superficial wound. It won't leave a scar. Don't worry, I've already applied the best snow muscle cream. It won't leave any marks at all."

Shen Yin immediately stood up again, lifted Mu Luan's arm and looked around carefully, and asked, "Are you injured anywhere else?"

Mu Luan hurriedly held down Shen Yin, who was almost spinning around her. Her eyes flashed as she said, "It's just one wound, that's it."

In fact, she had many scratches on her body. If I told her the truth, she would probably be scared away.

Shen Yin was half-believing and half-doubting, and gently stroked Mu Luan's wrist and asked, "Does it hurt?"

There was a flash of surprise in Mu Luan's eyes. She was obviously a very careful girl, but she wanted to be a carefree and tough guy every day.

She reluctantly grabbed Shen Yin's hand and pushed her down again, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

After Shen Yin confirmed it again and again, the heart that had been in her throat finally settled down a little.

But when she mentioned Zhou Yunan, her face was filled with indignation, and she turned to comfort Mu Luan and said, "Yaoyao, don't worry, even if Uncle Mu doesn't care about this matter, my father will investigate it to the end."

Mu Luan was surprised, "Uncle Shen is also worried about me?"

Shen Yin waved her hand and said as a matter of course: "The deep friendship between the Mu and Shen families is there, not to mention the friendship between Uncle Mu and my father. My father is the Imperial Censor and has the responsibility to supervise officials.

Zhou Yunan dared to kidnap the daughter of a court general. If a son is not well educated, it is the fault of his father. Captain Zhou Shiming must be responsible for not disciplining him properly. My father must have impeached him to death. The impeachment memorial drafted overnight was presented to His Majesty at the morning court yesterday. Guess what happened?"

Mu Luan looked at Shen Yin's sparkling eyes and shook his head, thinking that the captain's fate was not good.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shen Yin was seen crossing his legs, and said leisurely: "Under the emperor's feet, there are people who forcibly abduct women with evil intentions, and the target is the daughter of the general's mansion.

The emperor was furious and immediately ordered Zhou Yunan to be beheaded in public. Captain Zhou Shiming was naturally implicated and not only was he demoted, but the entire Zhou family was exiled to the southern frontier and was never allowed to enter the capital again.

Mu Luan's eyes were cold. She had no intention of harming anyone, but she was not on guard against others wanting to harm her.

Such a person does not deserve others' pity.

Shen Yin suddenly looked serious when she said this, and continued, "The emperor's order has been issued, but the Northern Court's imperial guards searched the capital city and could not find Zhou Yunan. Instead, they found two bodies floating in the moat. The deaths were extremely ugly, and it is suspected that he was murdered."
