I don't know how long I slept.
When I woke up again, it was already dark outside.
Rong Shang opened her eyes but didn't see him, so she asked the maid, "Where is Mr. A-Ling?"
The maid shook her head, still looking confused. "I don't know, I haven't seen him."
"I didn't see her..." Rong Chang frowned.
Not long after, Lord Guan came in from outside.
Upon seeing her awake, Master Guan asked with a worried look, "What exactly happened?"
It would have been better if she hadn't asked; once she did, Rong Shang covered her face and burst into tears.
"This..." Master Guan frowned, "Tell me, why are you crying?"
"Father, I... I don't know either."
“I was still in the shop in the afternoon when Xiaowei suddenly came over and said that my aunt wanted me to come back, saying that she had something to tell me.”
"When I came back to find her later, Xiaomei said that she and her sister were in the backyard."
"I went."
"Not long after, a masked man suddenly rushed out and knocked me unconscious. After that, I don't know what happened."
Rong Shang raised her head, tears still streaming down her face. "Father, are Aunt and my sister alright?"
"What, what exactly happened?" Rong Shang pretended not to understand. "Who is that man? Why is he in the backyard?"
"I..." Master Guan was still bewildered. "How would I know who he is?"
I wanted to ask her, but she didn't know anything about it.
"Never mind, never mind." Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Master Guan waved his hand and stood up. "You should get some rest."
After Lord Guan left.
Rong Chang wiped away the tears on her face.
However, she still hadn't seen A-Ling at that time.
I was worried; had something happened to him?
Rong Shang then called the butler over and asked him to go to the shop to see if A Ling was still there.
The butler said, "Mr. A-Ling came by around evening, saying he was there to pick up something."
evening?
Rong Shang raised an eyebrow. "You mean, when I went to the backyard?"
"yes."
The housekeeper said he only stayed for a short while before leaving again.
I had just heard the young lady say that the man who attacked her was masked.
The butler was still somewhat suspicious of that A-Ling.
But then I thought about it and realized it was impossible. He left so early, and besides, the young lady was someone he liked. Why would he attack the young lady if he didn't attack others?
Rong Shang was stunned.
I thought to myself that something must have happened to him since he hadn't come back so late.
Could it be...?
Suddenly, something bad came to mind.
Could it be that he overheard the things she said to Guan Shuli that evening, which were just slips of the tongue?
If that's really the case...
Oh my, that guy is definitely angry.
She rolled out of bed and hurried out to find him.
Later, she went to the tailor shop but didn't see the young man.
But he ran into his cousin, Boss Song!
The two exchanged a brief greeting.
As Boss Song was about to leave, Rong Shang followed him. "Boss Song, I wonder if A-Ling is with you?"
He's penniless now, where can he go?
When Mr. Song heard the name A-Ling, he was taken aback for a moment.
Suddenly, I remembered that he was talking about Young Master Shen.
"Oh, you mean A-Ling?"
Mr. Song shook his head. "He didn't go to my place."
"What's wrong, Miss Guan?"
Not here...
"It's nothing." Rong Shang shook her head, then she remembered something.
"Mr. Song, what's your cousin's surname?"
It's probably a trap set for him.
Rong Chang just wanted to know if it was true or false that he said his surname was Liu.
She didn't expect her to ask this question, which stumped Boss Song.
"this……"
What's your surname?
Boss Song remembered that Shen Changling had forbidden him from revealing his identity.
