Pei Jinxiao was not a fool, so he naturally knew what she meant. He smiled slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes, yet he remained gentle and elegant. He gently put down the teacup in his hand, turned to face Sheng Yunrong, and said in a calm and powerful voice: "Miss Sheng, your concerns are not unreasonable, but Pei knows his limits."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flickered. She had long heard of Pei Jinxiao's talent and demeanor, and after seeing him today, she found that he was indeed as good as his reputation had said.

She smiled slightly, trying to hide her inner nervousness: "Master Pei, you are too kind. Yunrong is just worried that you will be misled by villains in this complicated world."

Inside the Pei residence, ancient trees towered into the sky, and the rockery and pond reflected the afterglow of the setting sun, creating a peaceful and harmonious scene. Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao sat opposite each other in the pavilion, and the atmosphere between them was subtle and harmonious.

"Miss Sheng, rest assured. Although I dare not claim to be extremely wise, I will not be easily misled by others." Pei Jinxiao chuckled, but a deep light flashed in his eyes. "However, Miss Sheng came here in person today, I wonder what business you have?"

Sheng Yunrong bit her lower lip lightly. Pei Jinxiao was not someone who could be easily fooled, so she simply said, "Master Pei, to be honest, Yunrong came here to ask for your help."

"Help?" Pei Jinxiao raised his eyebrows, seeming a little surprised. "I wonder what Miss Sheng needs me to do?"

Sheng Yunrong took a deep breath and said seriously, "Recently, some changes have happened in my family. My father has suddenly become seriously ill, and it is difficult to handle the affairs of the family for the time being. Yunrong knows that Lord Pei has great influence in the court and has extensive connections. I wonder if you can help me find a good doctor for my father?"

Pei Jinxiao paused for a moment after hearing this. He naturally knew the status of the Sheng family in the court, and Sheng Yunrong's father, Lord Sheng, was even more powerful. He slowly said, "Don't worry, Miss Sheng. Since Pei has agreed, I will do my best. However, will Lord Sheng's condition sustain the journey?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with gratitude. Pei Jinxiao had already agreed to her request: "My father's condition can be sustained, but he needs treatment as soon as possible. Lord Pei, can you arrange it as soon as possible?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Sheng, I will arrange it as soon as possible. However, during this period, does Miss Sheng need to stay in the Pei Mansion to take care of my father's condition at any time?"

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned. She did not expect Pei Jinxiao to make such a request, but she changed her mind and thought that staying in Pei Mansion would indeed be convenient for taking care of my father, so she smiled slightly: "Master Pei is thoughtful. Yunrong is willing to stay in Pei Mansion so that she can take care of my father at any time."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with satisfaction when he heard this. He clapped his hands gently, and two servants came in immediately: "Arrange for Miss Sheng to stay in the guest room and make sure she is well taken care of."

Sheng Yunrong stood up and bowed to Pei Jinxiao: "Thank you, Master Pei."

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly and watched Sheng Yunrong leave. He turned back to the study and began to arrange for the search for a good doctor.

…

He smiled slightly, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly said: "Miss Sheng, are you concerned about me, Pei, by saying this?"

Sheng Yunrong's face flushed slightly when she heard this. She lowered her head, bit her lips lightly, then raised her head and said seriously, "Master Pei, you misunderstood. I just think you shouldn't be bothered by these trivial matters."

Pei Jinxiao looked at her serious expression, and a trace of warmth surged in his heart. He chuckled and said, "In that case, I will obey your command. Miss Sheng, can you teach me how to get rid of these trivial matters?"

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning. She looked at Pei Jinxiao with a slight smile on her face. "Master Pei, if you are willing, I can take you to a place where you may find the answer you want."

Pei Jinxiao's eyes flashed with doubt, but it was soon replaced by curiosity. He nodded and agreed: "Since Miss Sheng is so enthusiastic, then Pei will bother you."

So, the two of them left Pei Mansion together and set out on the road to Sheng Mansion. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and the distance between them gradually narrowed.

Sheng Yunrong brought Pei Jinxiao to a quiet place in the back garden of Sheng Mansion. There was a small pavilion with a set of exquisite tea sets in it. Sheng Yunrong walked to the pavilion, fiddled with the tea sets, and then said to Pei Jinxiao: "Master Pei, please wait a moment, I will make tea for you."

Pei Jinxiao sat in the pavilion, watching Sheng Yunrong's busy back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The eldest lady of the Sheng family is indeed worthy of her reputation, not only is she beautiful, but also has outstanding talent.

After a while, Sheng Yunrong prepared tea, handed the cup to Pei Jinxiao, and sat opposite him. The two of them sipped the tea and chatted about family matters.

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong and couldn't help but think of his past with her. He remembered that he had played with Sheng Yunrong in Sheng Mansion when he was a child. At that time, she was still an innocent little girl. Unexpectedly, she had grown into a beautiful girl in the blink of an eye.

Sheng Yunrong seemed to see what Pei Jinxiao was thinking. She smiled softly and said, "Master Pei, are you thinking of our childhood memories?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, we were so innocent and carefree back then. But now, we are all burdened by the secular world."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes flashed with emotion. She looked at Pei Jinxiao and said, "Master Pei, do you think we can return to that carefree era?"

Pei Jinxiao was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Miss Sheng, life is like a play, with an opening, a climax, and an ending. We can't go back, but we can cherish the present and grasp the future."

Sheng Yunrong's eyes lit up when she heard this. She looked at Pei Jinxiao and smiled, "Master Pei, you are right. We should cherish the present and grasp the future."

The two continued to drink tea and chat. As time went by, their relationship became closer and closer. Pei Jinxiao knew in his heart that he had fallen deeply in love with Sheng Yunrong, and Sheng Yunrong seemed to have special feelings for him.

At this moment, a maid came hurriedly and said to Sheng Yunrong: "Miss, there is a distinguished guest at home. Madam asks you to go back and receive him."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Yunrong stood up and said to Pei Jinxiao, "Master Pei, I have to excuse myself for a moment. Please wait here for a moment."

Pei Jinxiao nodded and watched Sheng Yunrong leave. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The eldest lady of the Sheng family is indeed worthy of her reputation.

As the sun set, Sheng Yunrong finally returned to the garden. She looked at Pei Jinxiao, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, and said, "Master Pei, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Pei Jinxiao smiled and shook his head: "Miss Sheng, you are too polite. It is also a kind of enjoyment for me to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Sheng Mansion in this garden."

After hearing this, Sheng Yunrong blushed. She looked at Pei Jinxiao and said softly, "Master Pei, let's go for a walk in the garden again."

Pei Jinxiao nodded, and the two of them strolled in the garden together. The moonlight shone on them, making them look particularly beautiful.
