That day, they were rebuffed at the Shen family's house.

Guan Shuli pondered that Guan Shuqing must have said something bad about her to the Shen family.

New grudges and old hatreds.

Guan Shuli simply couldn't swallow this insult.

She went out at dusk.

As darkness fell, she sneaked in from outside, carrying a cloth bag.

They were seen passing through the courtyard by the steward of the Shen family.

"Miss Guan." The butler suddenly spoke, startling Guan Shuli.

She exclaimed "Ah!" after she had seen who was standing opposite her.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old, old sir."

After she finished speaking, she picked up her cloth bag and left.

The housekeeper watched her carefully pinching the opening of the cloth bag, wondering what was inside.

He went back to Shen Changling and reported the truth.

Shen Changling then told Rong Chang about this.

She seemed to already know what it was.

That evening, the family was drinking tea and chatting in the living room. Not long after, Guan Shuli suddenly came in and said she had to go back.

Are you going back so late?

Rong Shang immediately stopped her, "Sister, look how late it is now, the coachmen have almost all gone to rest."

"Without rickshaws, how will you get home?"

"I think you should stay at the Shen residence for now," Rong Shang said, turning her face slightly away with a meaningful smile. "I'll arrange for a coachman to take you back to the south of the city tomorrow morning."

Isn't this arrangement incredibly thoughtful?

The old lady didn't like this woman.

But I never expected that she would come to the north of the city and have an accident here.

He then said, "I'll listen to your sister and sleep here tonight."

"But..." She didn't know what there was to hesitate about.

When Rong Shang noticed the flicker in her eyes, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly.

Before long, she refused, saying, "Madam, sister, I think I should go back."

“I told my mother this morning that I would go home tonight no matter how late it is.”

“If I don’t go home to sleep tonight, I’m afraid she’ll worry.”

"I see." The old lady thought it made a lot of sense.

"Then, let the servants take you back."

"It's not safe for a young woman like you to go back at this time."

After hearing this, Guan Shuli breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Madam."

"Since my sister is so determined to go back, then fine."

Rong Shang stood up and said she would see her off.

Guan Shuli was afraid of something again.

Another rejection.

Of course, Rong Shang did not comply with her this time.

She forcibly escorted her to the door.

Guan Shuli was about to leave.

But she grabbed his hand.

The moment their eyes met, Guan Shuli's eyelashes trembled slightly.

What's wrong? Are you feeling guilty?

"Little sister, you've come all this way to see me. Look at me, I haven't even had time to entertain you."

"It's nothing." She said loudly the first sentence, but the second seemed stuck in her throat. She muttered softly, "I didn't come to see you in the first place."

"What did you say?" Rong Shang heard this, raised an eyebrow, and looked at her with interest.

She quickly waved her hand, "No, I didn't say anything."

"Sis, you've been so busy these past few days, you must be exhausted,"

"You should go inside and rest."

I want to get rid of her hand.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly hugged him.

Guan Shuli's expression froze for a moment.

The next second, the woman leaned close and whispered in her ear, "I know what you put in my room."

She finished speaking, smiled, and stepped back.

Guan Shuli turned pale on the spot.

The woman turned to leave.

She quickly called out to her, "Sister."

The moment Rong Shang turned around, Guan Shuli still said, "Be careful."
