Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao had already returned to Sheng Mansion. The house was brightly lit, and servants were busy shuttling around in every corner, preparing to welcome them back. As soon as Sheng Yunrong stepped into the house, she felt a warm atmosphere. She gently took Pei Jinxiao's hand and walked into the house.

Sheng Yunrong's father, Lord Sheng, was sitting in the living room. When he saw them come back, he immediately put down the book in his hand and a smile spread across his face.

"Rong'er, Jinxiao, you are finally back. Did you have a pleasant trip?" Lord Sheng asked enthusiastically.

Sheng Yunrong smiled gently and said, "Father, this trip was indeed fruitful. I saw many beautiful sights and made many friends."

Pei Jinxiao also bowed and said, "Master Sheng, I am traveling with Miss Sheng this time, and I have really felt the wonders of nature and appreciated the folk customs. By the way, Master Sheng, I have something to ask of you during this trip."

Lord Sheng was slightly stunned, and said, "Jinxiao, what can I ask of you? Just tell me."

Pei Jinxiao said sternly, "Sir Sheng, I would like to borrow the study room in your house to look up some ancient books. This matter is of great importance and is of no small importance."

Lord Sheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "In that case, you can go to the study to check it out. As long as the Sheng family can help, we will never refuse."

Sheng Yunrong looked at her father's expression and was secretly happy.

"Rong'er, you go and rest first. I'll take care of this." Pei Jinxiao said softly.

Sheng Yunrong shook her head and said, "No, I want to accompany you. Pei Lang, we will face this together and we will get through this."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong and was deeply moved. He held her hand and said, "Rong'er, thank you. With you, I have more confidence to face everything."

Sheng Yunrong smiled and said, "Pei Lang, the relationship between us has long transcended life and death. No matter what the future holds, I will be with you."

Late at night, in the study of Sheng's house, the two were reading ancient books under the light, sometimes talking in low voices, sometimes lost in thought. At this time, the other people in Sheng's house were also lost in their own thoughts.

Sheng Wan'er, the second young lady of the Sheng family, was sitting in her room, looking at the moonlight outside the window, and secretly made up her mind.

The third young lady of the Sheng Mansion, Sheng Qingyin, was discussing the relationship between Sheng Yunrong and Pei Jinxiao with her maid Xiaoyue. She was envious and worried, as she was afraid that Sheng Yunrong's happiness would be affected.

Outside the Sheng Mansion, the cronies of Prince Jing Pei Jinxiao were also paying close attention to the developments in the Sheng Mansion. They knew that Pei Jinxiao would definitely make some big moves when he returned this time.

On the second day, in the study of Sheng Mansion, Pei Jinxiao finally found the ancient book he needed. He excitedly showed the ancient book to Sheng Yunrong and said, "Rong'er, this ancient book records a mysterious martial art that may help us overcome this difficulty."

Sheng Yunrong looked at the ancient book, a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and asked: "Pei Lang, is this martial art really that magical?"

Pei Jinxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Rong'er. The martial arts recorded in this ancient book is called 'Tiangang Sword Technique', which is an extremely powerful sword technique. As long as we learn it, we will have the confidence to face all challenges."

The lights in the mansion were just coming on, and servants were busy preparing for the dinner. Sheng Yunrong was dressed in red, looking even more beautiful, while Pei Jinxiao was dressed in black, with an extraordinary demeanor. As soon as the two entered the mansion, they felt a warm and solemn atmosphere.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said to Pei Jinxiao: "Brother Pei, thank you for your company today, otherwise I don't know how I would get through this difficult time."

Pei Jinxiao gently patted Sheng Yunrong's shoulder, his eyes full of care and love: "Miss Sheng, you don't have to be polite. I can understand the pressure you are under behind this prosperity. If you have any difficulties in the future, just speak up."

As they were talking, the two had already walked to the flower hall. Sheng Yunrong's father, Lord Sheng, was sitting in the first seat. When he saw his daughter coming back, he immediately stood up to greet her: "Rong'er, you are back. I have heard from the servants about what happened today. You did a great job."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, walked to her father and took his arm: "Father, I am an unfilial daughter and I am sorry to have made you worry."

Lord Sheng patted Sheng Yunrong's hand gently, his eyes showing love: "Okay, don't blame yourself. You have grown up and can stand on your own. I am proud of you."

At this time, Sheng Yuner, the second daughter of the Sheng family, also came in. When she saw Pei Jinxiao, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure. She walked to Sheng Yunrong and said softly, "Sister, you are back. Brother Pei is here too. He is such an honored guest."

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly and said to Sheng Yuner, "Sister, do you know the details of what happened today?"

Sheng Yuner shook her head gently: "I only heard it from the servants, and I don't know the specific situation. But I'm relieved that my sister can come back safely."

Pei Jinxiao looked at the intimacy between the two sisters and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Sheng Yunrong, the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, is indeed worthy of her reputation, and her sisters are also a beautiful sight.

At the beginning of the dinner, Lord Sheng and Pei Jinxiao were talking happily, while Sheng Yunrong and Sheng Yuner were listening and occasionally interrupting. Sheng Yunrong would peek at Pei Jinxiao from time to time and found that he always maintained an elegant demeanor, and she couldn't help but secretly praise him.

After three rounds of drinking, Lord Sheng suggested: "Rong'er, how about you and Brother Pei go to the garden to enjoy the moon together?"

Sheng Yunrong was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, father."

Pei Jinxiao also stood up and walked towards the garden with Sheng Yunrong. The moonlight sprinkled on the path in the garden, and the two walked side by side, and the atmosphere seemed particularly peaceful.

Sheng Yunrong spoke first: "Brother Pei, what do you think of my father?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Lord Sheng is a wise and kind father. His love for you is obvious."

Sheng Yunrong nodded gently: "Yes, my father has always had high expectations of me, and I can't let him down."

The two walked to the pavilion in the garden. Sheng Yunrong looked up at Pei Jinxiao and said, "Brother Pei, what do you think of my sister?"

Pei Jinxiao smiled slightly: "Second Miss Sheng is a gentle and virtuous woman. Like you, she is the pride of the Sheng family."

Sheng Yunrong smiled softly: "Brother Pei is really good at talking, but my sister is indeed a good woman, it's a pity that she has some misunderstandings about me."

Pei Jinxiao looked at Sheng Yunrong and said seriously: "Miss Sheng, I believe you will resolve the misunderstanding between you. You are a smart and kind woman, and you will definitely be able to handle this matter well."

…

Sheng Yunrong stood in front of the moon-shaped gate of Pei's mansion, looking at the rising sun, her heart full of anticipation. Last night, she learned that Pei Jinxiao had not slept all night, and she felt both worried and secretly happy.

"Morning, Miss Sheng." The servants of the Pei residence bowed one after another. Sheng Yunrong nodded slightly and walked straight towards Pei Jinxiao's study.

Pei Jinxiao was sitting at the desk, the brush in his hand flying on the paper, a little absent-minded. Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw Sheng Yunrong, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Sheng, why are you here?" Pei Jinxiao put down his brush and tried to tidy up his appearance.

Sheng Yunrong smiled slightly, her eyes full of concern: "I heard that Master Pei didn't sleep well last night, I was a little worried, so I came to visit."
