Autumn

"My lord, is the door closed so early today?"

Meng Yue thanked the guests behind closed doors as ordered, but couldn't help asking.Lu Li put down the teacup, stood up and straightened his robes.

"Let's go somewhere."

"Where?"

"The Shen residence in the east of the city."

It was almost dusk, but because it was midsummer, the market was still lively.Meng Yue carried an apricot-colored cloth bag across his shoulders, and followed closely behind Lu Li.

"Young Master, what are we going to do in that abandoned house? It's not auspicious place."

"You mean haunted?"

"Is not it?"

Lu Li was noncommittal, but asked flatly, as if talking to himself, "Is it a ghost?"

Speaking of the Shen Mansion in the east of the city, it can be said that all women and children in Qingfeng City know it.The ancestor of Shen Zhai was originally a small farmer who made a living by planting green sandalwood, but unexpectedly got a recipe and made the world-famous rice paper—Jinyun.Since then, he has become the richest man in Qingfeng City, and this small, remote town has become famous all over the world overnight.

The reason why the Jinyun of the Shen family is expensive in Luoyang is all due to one person - Fang Hua.This person is a well-known celebrity in the royal city, good at calligraphy and painting, especially good at painting flying birds and swimming fish.But this Fang Hua has a quirk, he always likes to travel to remote places.In the second year after the ancestors of the Shen family made Jinyun, he happened to pass by Qingfeng City.I saw a lot of freshly made rice paper outside the thatched huts in the outskirts of the city, and stroked it with my hands, like the skin of a child.On a whim, I borrowed a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from my master, and splashed ink on the spot.Suddenly, a red koi was born.Fang Hua saw that the lines on the drawing paper resembled auspicious clouds, so she proposed to name the rice paper Jinyun.The ancestors of the Shen family took this painting and Jin Yun to Wangcheng to sell it.When people in the market saw the koi carp, they were amazed that it could be so lifelike.In no time, the Shen family's rice paper Jinyun became famous overnight in Wangcheng.

Jin Yun of the Shen family has been passed down for three generations, until the fourth generation, Shen Lingqing, has always been famous.But for some reason, one day Shen's house suddenly suffered an unknown fire, and what was even more strange was that the fire only burned a small building in the corner of the garden of Shen's house.Normally, it wouldn't have much impact on the Shen family, but after this small building was reduced to ashes, the Shen family began to decline and its population withered.In the end, there was only one sick Shen Lingqing left.

"My lord, I heard people say in the market last time that Shen's house has been a bit uneasy recently. It seems to be related to a painting of Shen's house."

"Painting? Maybe what they're talking about is the Shen family's heirloom, the red koi painted by Fang Hua."

"Could it be that painting that caused the trouble?"

"Go and see if you don't know."

Just as he was talking, the gate of Shen's house was approaching.Pushing open the somewhat decayed door, Lu Li felt uneasy the moment he entered the courtyard, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

The main room of Shen's house in Meng Yue's mouth is actually a room next to the small building that was burned down. The small building was originally a painting building.From the second generation of Shen Moshu, the Shen family, in addition to making Xuan paper, also had to read the Four Books and Five Classics, and work on poetry, calligraphy and painting just like those scholars.Among them, Shen Moshu's nephew, Shen Wenru, actually topped the high school rankings, becoming the first number one scholar in the history of Qingfeng City.It's a pity that he died young, and died in office when he was less than 30 years old.Shen Hongru, the third-generation head of the family, is the youngest brother of Shen Wenru. He advocates Taoism and has no interest in officialdom.In his spare time, he only wants to paint in the painting building, which has also made him a master.At that time, the Shen family was not prosperous, only Shen Hongru had a son and a daughter.The eldest son, Shen Lingqing, inherited his father's temperament and loves painting.The younger sister Shen Wanqing is also known as a talented woman.

"If I remember correctly, the daughter of the Shen family is not married."

"I heard that the day when the small building caught fire was the time when Miss Shen got married."

Meng Yue looked around and heard Lu Li's voice, so he answered it.

"Yes, Shen Lingqing is also unmarried."

Hearing this, Meng Yue's eyes fell on Lu Li's plain face.For a moment, he didn't understand what his son meant.Lu Li didn't bother to explain, but just walked in.After walking for a while, I arrived at the main room next to the small building.At this time, the sky was a little darker, and it was much quieter than before.There was a violent coughing sound in the main room that was thought to be empty.

"Son..."

Meng Yue's words were blocked by Lu Li's raised hand, and then the cough stopped.

"The Shen family has no guests for a long time, who is the honored guest?"

The voice was a little hoarse and weak, but it could be heard that it did not come from the mouth of the old man.

"Under Luli. Currently living in the south of Qingfeng City, Wuwei lives."

"Inaction? I don't know if it is Confucian inaction or Taoist inaction?"

"Doing nothing is following the time and place, depending on the people's hearts, what can be done and what can't be done. Whether it is moderation or inaction, in the end it should be in accordance with the time, place and people. It's like that fire."

"The right time, place, and people...haha..." The people in the room let out a low laugh, "Mr. is indeed interesting. Then, is it because the time, place, and people are right for you, sir?"

"Exactly."

"Ahem... I want to hear about the timing, place and people of the master."

Lu Li stood on the spot, looking straight ahead with his eyes, and said calmly.

"Today, the seventh day of July, ten years ago today, is the time when the daughter of the Shen family got married. This is the right time. The fire on that day only destroyed a small building in Shen's house, otherwise I would not be able to find this place. This is the favorable location. The Shen family has withered since that day, but there is only one person left. This is the harmony of people."

"Sir, you are joking. There is no one alive in the Shen family. Why do you think there is only one person left? Cough..."

"I'm not joking. Mr. Shen, why don't you open the door and tell me."

As soon as Lu Li finished speaking, the coughing in the room stopped abruptly, and then coughed violently again.After a while, I felt some movement in the room.Then the door was opened.

The moonlight shining through the clouds was falling on the visitor. He was dressed in a shabby gray robe, and his long black hair hung loosely over his waist.Despite his haggard look, he could still see the handsomeness of this man.The man stepped out of the room and stood opposite Lu Li. His thin body was slightly taller than Lu Li.

"Mr. Lu."

The man barely stood up and raised his hand to salute Lu Li.

"Mr. Shen." Lu Li replied, "It's getting dark, not to mention Mr. is weak. Can we come in and talk?"

In the main room, apart from the moonlight shining through the window, there are some dilapidated furniture.Meng Yue lit the fire pocket as instructed, and found the candle in the messy corner.The room suddenly brightened up. Only then did the man notice Lu Li's anomaly, but he didn't point it out.

"How does the sir know the identity of the subordinate?"

"Being able to live in Shen's house, and even chose this room specially, must not be an outsider. Besides, I haven't heard the news of Mr. Shen's death."

"Ling Qing is like a beggar now, who else would care about my life or death."

"Have."

"Mr. is joking again."

"Isn't it?"

Following the direction of Lu Li's finger, Shen Lingqing's eyes fell on the painting on the opposite wall.There is only a red koi on the cloud-white rice paper. It is said to be a koi, but the painting is actually very abstract, just simple lines, dyed red.Under the dim candlelight, the red koi seemed to be alive, and Meng Yue seemed to be able to see it swimming in the water.

"Sir, you are blind, how do you know that painting..."

"People in the world only know that they are blind, but they never know that they are blind." Lu Li withdrew his hand, casually hanging by his side, "Have you ever heard of the fairy in the painting, my lord?"

"That's just a story."

"It is indeed a story, but it is not groundless. Not all of the paintings are immortals, and they may also be demons. But in the end, they are nothing more than people's own thoughts."

"Then sir, do you think the figure in this painting is a fairy or a demon?"

"Is there a difference?" Lu Li smiled, "The one in this painting is nothing more than a koi. Who do you think this is? Could it be Shen Wanqing, the daughter of the Shen family?"

Shen Lingqing unconsciously staggered a few steps back and looked up at the painting.

"My lord, what did I remember..."

Lu Li's voice was a little fuzzy, as if he was far away.Shen Lingqing closed her eyes, trying to wake herself up for a moment.It seemed that someone beside him was pushing him, and it seemed that someone was calling him.In a daze, he saw a familiar face.

"Young master, why are you asleep?"

"Uncle Yuan? Why are you here?"

"The master asked me to call you son. Today, people from Zhang's family came to discuss the young lady's marriage. Everyone has already arrived. Master washes up and then goes to meet the guests."

Yuanbo said, and called the servant boy to serve him.After a while, Shen Lingqing washed and changed, and went to the hall to meet the guests.

The Zhang family is not from Qingfeng City, but from Furong City, a neighbor.His family is a family of officials, and Zhang Wenxiu, the right prime minister of the current court, is the current head of the family.He stayed in Wangcheng for a long time and didn't go home. The eldest son Zhang Lingzhi took care of everything in the family.The second son, Zhang Linghan, was a senior high school student, was sealed in the Ministry of Punishment, and lived in Wangcheng with his father.The youngest son, Zhang Lingjun, was in his prime, the same age as Shen Lingqing.The Shen family's rice paper brocade cloud is hard to come by in Wangcheng, and it has even become a special item for the royal family, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy it.Shen Hongru also got acquainted with Zhang Wenxiu through this, and the two talked happily.Zhang Wenxiu had also heard of Shen Wanqing's name as a talented woman.At this time, he was worrying about his youngest son's marriage, so he proposed that Zhang and Shen's two families get married.Shen Hongru naturally couldn't wish for it, and immediately agreed to the marriage.This day was the day when the Zhang family came to discuss the marriage.

As soon as Shen Lingqing arrived at the door, he heard his father's loud laughter.

"Father."

"Nephew Zhang Xian, this is the old man's eldest son, Ling Qing."

"Shen Nianbo is so lucky. Not only does he have a talented daughter, but he also has such an extraordinary son."

"Young Master Zhang has won the prize."

"Hey, you and I are almost a family. From now on, just call me big brother like my younger brother."

"Then Ling Qing would be better off obeying orders than being respectful."

Zhang Lingzhi seemed to like Shen Lingqing very much, and he would nod from time to time when looking at him, with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"I almost forgot. This is the younger brother Ling Jun."

Shen Lingqing and Zhang Lingjun took their seats after performing the host and guest ceremony.

As soon as he was seated, Shen Lingqing had the opportunity to take a closer look at the Zhang brothers.Zhang Lingzhi was half a head taller than himself, and his appearance wasn't exactly handsome, but he was upright.His stature is not like those frail scholars, but he looks very powerful.The voice is hearty and full of energy.Zhang Lingjun next to him was about the same size and shape as himself, with a handsome appearance.It seems that his personality is very gentle. Such a husband and son-in-law will probably satisfy Wanmei, after all, he is very similar to himself.Although this thought only passed by in a flash, Shen Lingqing, who suddenly woke up, was still frightened by himself.He silently took a deep breath, telling himself not to have these unbearable thoughts again.

After sending off the Zhang family brothers, Shen Lingqing returned to the painting building, because the painting promised to his friend was not finished yet.

"The peony painted by my brother is really delicate and charming, and when paired with the brocade cloud of our family, it makes people feel more and more affectionate."

Shen Lingqing looked at the woman in front of her with some astonishment. The purple blouse was paired with a snow-white skirt, and the light pink lotus flowers on the skirt swayed in the wind.

"What's the matter? I've only been bored in the room for a few days, and my brother doesn't recognize me?"

"Sister Wan, what are you doing here if you're not preparing your wedding dress in the boudoir?"

"The wedding dress is prepared by a tailor, so why do I need to do it? Besides, I have already finished the embroidery on the wedding dress. As for those dowry and phoenix hairpins, my mother has already prepared them for me." Shen Wanqing said and stood by the window He sat down on the chair, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I miss it a little. So I went to the painting building to have a look. Did my brother meet Zhang's family just now?"

"Someone from Zhang's family came to discuss the marriage. As the eldest son and elder brother, he would naturally go to see him."

Shen Lingqing withdrew her astonished gaze, ignored Shen Wanqing who was sitting by the window, and put away the paintings on the table.Suddenly he felt his waist being tightly bound, and through layers of clothes, he could still feel his accelerated heartbeat and slightly elevated body temperature.

"You just have the heart to watch me get married?"

"Don't mess around, you've also reached your twenties. You should have gotten married a long time ago, but your parents are not strict enough to control you until today."

"What about you? Why didn't you marry?" Shen Wanqing's tone was aggressive, "You and I are twin brothers and sisters, we grew up together since childhood. Aren't you also crowned now?"

"Women are different from men, how can they be compared?"

"Excessive words! Have you forgotten what you said to me that day?"

Shen Lingqing's body couldn't help trembling.How could he forget what he said?It is true that I and my younger sister are twin brothers and sisters. The two have been together since childhood, eating and sleeping at the same table.They have long been accustomed to such days, and their parents never interfere.It was not until they were 14 years old that Shen Wanqing moved into the current boudoir.

Shen Lingqing will never forget that one late night two years ago, Shen Wanqing sneaked out of the boudoir and climbed onto her own bed.Naturally, he will never forget the extraordinary emotional and physical impact he felt when he comforted his crying sister.

"no!"

All the memories rushed through Shen Lingqing's mind like a flood, and he broke away from Shen Wanqing's embrace in a panic.

"You'll be married in a few days. You'd better go back to your house and wait for your marriage. I, I still have things to do."

Shen Lingqing ran away in such a panic. In the following days, he either hid in the painting building or went out to run errands. In short, he tried every means to avoid his sister's eyes.On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Shen Wan dressed up early in the morning, with a dull expression, she let the nanny and maids put on the red wedding dress for herself.The sedan chair of the Zhang family also arrived as scheduled. After the bride said goodbye to her parents and elder brother, she suddenly proposed to visit the painting building. She said that she might not have a chance to come back after she got married.Then, everyone witnessed the fire that soared into the sky, and Shen Lingqing also clearly saw Shen Wanqing who was standing by the window and smiling towards him.The moment he came back to his senses and shouted out his sister's name, the red color was also engulfed in the sea of ​​flames.

"Wanqing! Wanqing——!"

"My lord, have you seen Miss Wanqing?"

Shen Lingqing sat up straight suddenly, raised her hand to wipe her forehead, only to find that she was already dripping with cold sweat.Looking around, he found that he was still in the dilapidated main room.

"Why? What did you do?"

"I'm just asking you to go back and meet Miss Wanqing."

"So, you already knew."

"I don't know anything."

"Mr. Lu is a real god. Why don't you make it clear. Wanmei and I are twin brothers and sisters, but we..."

"That's a bad relationship between you, or an unfinished fate from a previous life."

"Why did Mr. Lu come here? You can't help me with the right time, place and people."

A slight smile appeared on Lu Li's face.

"Yesterday, I dreamed of a woman wearing a red dress that was really eye-catching. The dress was embroidered with a double carp pattern, but the scarf was covered with peonies." Lu Li could feel that the breathing of the people around him seemed to be suffocating for a moment. Stopped, "The woman's back was facing me, and I couldn't see her face clearly. I followed her to the river, and then saw her jump into the water without hesitation. After a while, a red koi jumped out of the water .”

"Double carp, peony... This is Wanmei's wedding dress, and the pattern on the dress was drawn by me..."

Shen Lingqing muttered, but Lu Li ignored it and continued.

"Have Mr. Shen seen such a woman? Maybe the woman you saw came out of this painting."

"how do you know?"

Shen Lingqing stared at Lu Li with wide eyes.As Lu Li said, Shen Lingqing had seen it before, and the woman was indeed from that painting.About a year ago, Shen Lingqing returned to Qingfeng City with a weak and sick body.Because ten years later, he still couldn't let go of Shen Wanqing, he decided to come back and stay in this dilapidated home until he died.On the third night after he came back, he saw the painting on the wall seemed to move a bit in a trance, and then a woman in red came towards him.

The woman's face is exactly the same as her own, and there is no other person in this world who can be so similar to her except Wanmei.And this familiar appearance, voice, and body fragrance, Shen Wanqing was right.Shen Lingqing believed that.

"So Miss Wan is indeed back."

"Master Shen believes that is your sister Wan?" Lu Li asked back, "I don't think she is."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Li didn't answer, but took out a yellow talisman from his wide sleeve, on which a series of strange symbols were drawn with red cinnabar.

"go with!"

The talisman rushed towards the painting like an arrow leaving the string, and the moment the painting was pasted, a strong cold wind rushed towards them.Immediately afterwards, a red figure rushed out quickly, heading straight for Lu Li's face.

"Keng!"

The red figure seemed to be hindered, and he withdrew his hands instantly and stepped back.However, Meng Yue who was standing in front of Lu Li had already drawn out his soft sword from his waist and put on a defensive posture.

Shen Lingqing looked up and saw the man in red.

"Sister Wan!"

"Sir, don't move!" Lu Li grabbed Shen Lingqing's arm violently, "Who is the girl?"

The woman in red glared at Lu Li with a cold face.

"Smelly Taoist priest, you actually hurt me with a talisman!"

"Miss is wrong, I am not a Taoist priest, but a luthier in Qingfeng City."

"What a luthier who can use talismans." The woman in red said mockingly, "Since you are not a Taoist priest, why are you here?"

"To ask the girl for something."

"what?"

"Miss Shen Wanqing's soul."

"Sister Wan's soul?"

Shen Lingqing looked at Lu Li in surprise, Lu Li nodded and continued.

"Although Miss Wanqing was buried in the sea of ​​fire that day, her soul refused to leave. Maybe it's because of you." Lu Li said in a calm voice, "This girl told Miss Wanqing that as long as her soul can be attached to her body, she can see her again. To the person I want to see. If I guess correctly, Miss Wanqing's soul possessed your body a year ago."

"I just want to help her." The woman in red frowned and said, "One year after Shen Wanqing's death, this Mr. Shen fell ill and babbled about Shen Wanqing's name every day. Two years later, I saw him in this hall. Shen Wanqing. At that time, Shen Lingqing was still sick, but he was bored painting in this room every day, and there was no one else besides Shen Wanqing."

The woman in red turned her head to look at Shen Lingqing, and continued.

"His parents took him away from Qingfeng City, presumably to prevent him from getting hurt. Unexpectedly, Shen Lingqing returned to Qingfeng City a year ago."

"That's why you suggested to Shen Wanqing to possess you."

"That's right. Ever since Shen Lingqing came back, Shen Wanqing has come to visit her every night. Speaking of which, I can be considered the beauty of an adult."

"Oh? So, the girl is only for the beauty of adults?"

"Of course. I'm..." The woman in red seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped talking, "Why should I talk so much with you."

"Since the girl doesn't care about Miss Shen's soul, why don't you let her out?"

"If you don't believe me, why should I believe you?"

Hearing this, Lu Li smiled unconsciously.

"I'm being rude." Lu Li raised his hand to salute, "May I ask Miss for a moment?"

Meng Yue saw that the woman in red was still frowning and said nothing, she still didn't believe them.It's a little anxious.

"Hey! Our young master is not some charlatan, so you don't even need to ask about it, what does Wuweiju in Qingfeng City do?"

"Qingfeng City, Wuweiju?" The woman in red muttered the name, as if thinking of something, "Those people say Wuweiju specializes in explaining all kinds of anecdotes, could it be you?"

"Yes."

The woman in red hesitated again, and when she looked up and saw Lu Li's calm eyes, there was a sly light in them.

"Since that's the case, why don't you let Shen Wanqing come out to see what you are capable of?"

As soon as the words fell, the woman in red slashed her palms and attacked Lu Li.Lu Li felt a palm wind, and stepped back.Lu Li turned sideways, and while avoiding the attack, he quickly grabbed the arm of the woman in red, and reached behind her with the other hand.

"You underestimate me too."

The woman in red seemed to have sensed Lu Li's intentions, her body spun along the grasped arm, and landed in Lu Li's arms, and the talisman in Lu Li's hand naturally flew into the air.The woman in red wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but suddenly stopped.Lu Li felt something escape from the woman's body.

"Jinse, Mr. Lu's eyesight is not convenient, why do you make fun of him?"

"But it's so easy to follow his wishes, and I'm also very unhappy."

The woman in red, called Jinse, stood up straight from Lu Li's arms, and said innocently.Meng Yue wanted to intervene to stop Jinse's attack, but she stopped him. He was a little anxious at first, but when he saw Shen Wanqing's soul flying out of Jinse's body, he breathed a sigh of relief.

She is also dressed in red, but with the pattern of double carp and the peonies.The long black hair was tied up into the bride's bun, and the flying phoenix landed in the bun among the clouds.Guazi's red lips parted slightly, and she called out "Brother" softly.A pair of almond eyes fixedly looked at Shen Lingqing not far away.

"Sister Wan...it's really you..." Shen Lingqing staggered and ran towards Shen Wanqing, but stopped in front of her again, "It's really you..."

"It's me, brother. In fact, it's always been me. I just borrowed Jinse's body before." Shen Wanqing's eyes turned to the woman in red, "Jinse, thank you."

"I did nothing."

"No, you helped me. If you didn't guard me, and you didn't let me attach your body, maybe I would have gone to the nether world. They said that as long as I drank Mengpo soup and crossed the bridge of Naihe, I would Forget everything about the previous life. But I... don't want to forget."

"Why do you torture yourself like this?"

"People suffer from love... If Jinse has someone he likes in the future, he will be even more infatuated than me."

"Me?" Jin Se stared at Shen Wanqing suspiciously, "I won't ask for trouble like this."

Shen Wanqing smiled and turned to look at Lu Li.

"Mr. Lu, I was bothering you the night before yesterday."

"Miss Shen, I want you to come down and persuade Mr. Shen."

"Yes." Shen Wan sighed quietly, "In the few days when my brother came back, I used Jinse's body to visit every night. Although this way, I can be with my brother every day. But people and ghosts are different. What's more, Jinse is still a demon. I couldn't bear to see my brother continue to haggard, so I deliberately avoided him. However, until my brother passed away a month ago, but his soul still lingered here, I asked Mr. Menglu .”

"What? This... This Mr. Shen is dead?"

Meng Yue looked at Shen Lingqing in disbelief, not only him, but even Shen Lingqing himself was stunned.

"Although Mr. Shen has been dead for more than a month, he doesn't seem to have such a cognition."

"How is it possible? Why didn't I notice it when I died?"

"Because all your attention is on Shen Wanqing, you will naturally ignore everything around you." Jinse leaned her back against the wall and said lightly, "Don't you find it strange? I have stayed here for so long, and the daily water and rice are not stable. Enter, but still sit and stand as usual.”

Being reminded by Jinse like this, Shen Lingqing also seemed to feel the difference in the past few days.

"The two of you are missing each other, so you cannot be reborn."

"Then what should I do to bring them back to life? It's best to keep them together. Also, is there anything I need to do?"

Jinse seemed to be more nervous about this matter than Shen Wanqing, she jumped lightly, and she was already standing beside Lu Li, with both hands tugging at Lu Li's sleeves.Lu Li drooped his eyelids, feeling his face was getting hot.

"...I can help you here."

"Have you heard? There was an unknown fire in the garden of Shen's house last night, and this time the whole house is gone."

"Fire again? This Shen family is really pitiful."

"Who says it's not. But it's okay to burn it, I always feel that this house is not clean."

Meng Yue pricked up his ears to listen to the two people sitting next to him gossip, and glanced at his young master from time to time.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing...my lord, the fire in Shen's house..."

"It's God's will." Lu Li replied flatly, "Go back."

"You guys came back too late, I'm almost starving to death."

As soon as Meng Yuefu opened the door, he saw a woman in red sitting recliningly on the grand master's chair in the hall. She was about to draw her sword to face each other, but was stopped by Lu Li behind her.

"Miss Jinse is very interested."

"Where. It's just that Shen's house was wiped out overnight. After thinking about it, there is only Wuweiju as a shelter."

"Are you kidding me? How could Wuweiju take in a monster like you?"

Meng Yue's tone was a little irritable, the soft sword in his hand was not retracted at all, and he was still facing Jinse in a defensive posture.

"You should learn from your young master." Jinse sat upright, glanced at Lu Li who was calm as usual, "Mr. Lu, whether you want to take me in or not is up to you."

"Wait!" Meng Yue suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Since you are from the painting, without that painting, even if you stay here, it will be useless."

As Meng Yue said, although the so-called fairy in the painting is a story, it is not without evidence.The fairy in the painting depends on the painting. If there is no painting, then the fairy will also perish.But now Jinse in front of her is sitting in front of her in good condition, and the painting has long since turned into dust and disappeared together with the sinking house.

"What? Didn't your son tell you?" Jinse said teasingly, "That painting is just a medium I borrowed."

"Qingqiu Nine Tails." Lu Li, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Miss Jinse, you are a member of Qingqiu Nine Tails."

"As expected of Mr. Lu. Now things are complete, but I don't want to go back to Qingqiu yet."

"What does the girl mean...?"

"I thought you were quite interesting, so I decided to stay and see if there were more interesting things to come across."

"Meng Yue, clean up the east wing in the backyard. It will be Miss Jinse's boudoir from now on."

Not only Meng Yue, but even Jinse who was on the side was taken aback.They always thought that Lu Li should refuse, but they didn't expect him to leave Jinse behind without any excuses.None of them could guess exactly what Lu Li was thinking.
