The silence of the dim alley was broken by the sound of light footsteps.

Yu Jin walked forward and knocked on the door rhythmically.

Soon the door opened and the doorman respectfully stepped aside.

Yu Jin did not come in immediately, but slightly leaned sideways and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

Jiang Si paused for a moment, ignoring the shocked looks of the disciples.

Even as the door quickly closed, the doorman still looked like he was sleepwalking.

In the compartment, Long Dan was leaning on the window and looking out.

Leng Ying lay on his back, breathing lightly.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, come and see, the master has brought back a girl!" Long Dan greeted his little friend with great enthusiasm.

Leng Ying moved his eyelids.

Long Dan muttered excitedly: "I was wondering why the master didn't take me with him when he went out today. It turns out there is something wrong. Wait, the girl the master brought back is the one who came here during the day!"

Leng Ying closed his eyes expressionlessly, then closed them and turned over.

It's enough to sleep in the same room with such a gossipy person.

But - does the master have a lover?

"Strange, why isn't Erniu moving?" Long Dan wondered.

In such a lively situation, it stands to reason that Erniu should be more active than him.

Erniu, lying in the shadow, wagged his tail slowly with his mouth facing the sky.

Foolish human, is this the time to go out and disturb?

Yu Jin led Jiang Si into the house and stood in the main room, hesitating for a while.

Although I really want to bring the person to the bedroom... ahem, there is a long time to go, and it will be a waste of time if I scare him away.

"Let's go to the study."

Jiang Si nodded.

Ah Man quickly followed.

She will fight to the death to defend the girl's innocence!

"A'man, you wait outside." Jiang Si said lightly.

Ah Man: “…”

Yu Jin laughed and was in a good mood.

Although I don't know where her disgust and wariness every time she sees him comes from, this silly girl probably doesn't understand that being willing to stay in the same room with a man in the middle of the night is enough to show that she approves of this man's character.

I didn't expect that he was still highly regarded in her heart.

Yu Jian suddenly became more confident about the future.

Jiang Si had never known in his previous life that Yu Jian had such a place to stay, so he entered the study and couldn't help but look around.

The study is simply furnished. There is a tall bookshelf against the right wall, and a long desk next to the window. On the desk are placed an inkstone, a brush washer, paper weights and other items. There is a low couch against the wall at the other end.

There were no incense burners, vases, or other items, and there were few books on the bookshelf. Instead, the candles in the candlesticks were dancing with flames, lighting up the entire room, very much in the style of... Yu Qi.

After reading this, Jiang Si couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.

"Please sit down first. I'll go get some water."

"No--"

Yu Jin has already walked out.

Jiang Si pursed her lips, picked a random desk chair and sat down.

Not long after, Yu Jin came back and put the teapot and teacups on the table, but what he poured out was plain water.

"It's not a good time to drink tea. Drink some warm water instead."

Jiang Si took the teacup and thanked him.

"What does Miss Jiang like to drink? I will prepare it next time."

The word "honey water" almost slipped out of his mouth, but Jiang Si swallowed it down forcefully.

"Don't bother me. I won't bother you anymore. Let's talk about what happened today."

"What do you want to talk about, Miss Jiang?" Yu Jin leaned forward slightly, appearing to be very cooperative.

He has a pair of very beautiful peacock eyes, his pupils are as black and shiny as gemstones, shining brightly as his eyes move, exuding a bewitching charm.

Jiang Si stepped back a little, frowning in dissatisfaction.

It's not a good idea to be so frivolous with a girl you've only met a few times.

"When did Master Yu start following me?"

Yu Jin raised his eyebrows slightly after hearing this, but did not reply.

"Master Yu, you don't want to answer?"

Yu Jin suddenly laughed: "Miss Jiang, this is not the attitude you want to have a good talk with. Don't forget, I am the one threatening you, not you threatening me."

This girl, is she going to bully him and bully him now? She has to wait until she marries him before he will be willing to do so.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and suppress the urge to kill and silence someone.

"What did Master Yu say?"

Yu Jin smiled, as if he was sure that the girl across from him would not object: "Miss Jiang, first you ask a question, I answer it, then I ask a question, you answer it, this is a fair back and forth, what do you think, Miss Jiang?"

Jiang Si bit her lip lightly.

This bastard is indeed the type who would take advantage of anyone and not suffer any loss.

In the previous life, he coaxed her into being a substitute for his lover, but when she found out, she was already deeply trapped. When she thought of all the messy things, she couldn't bear to resort to means such as faking her own death and becoming a nun. She could only entangle with him while suffering. The feeling is hard to describe.

"Okay, that's it."

"Then Miss Jiang, please ask first." Yu Jin played with the teacup, his eyes gently sweeping across the girl's fair and pretty face.

Seems angry.

Being angry is also very attractive. What should I do if I really want to kiss you?

The boy's eyes suddenly became dim and fell on the girl's delicate lips.

It must be said that the girl is blessed by nature. Her lips are the most alluring pink color without any makeup, and they are so moist without even a trace of lip lines.

Yu Jin's eyes darkened even more.

Jiang seemed to feel that the room was getting stuffy for no reason.

The silhouettes of the two were projected on the screen window, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still.

Long Dan, squatting in the yard, stared at the window, feeling very nervous.

The master brought the girl back in the middle of the night, just to chat?

"I'm so disappointed that I couldn't make it" perfectly describes the little guard's mood at the moment.

"Okay, let's go back to the question above. When did Master Yu start following me?"

"It's not stalking, it's protection." Yu Jin emphasized. Seeing that the girl was about to get angry, he said slowly, "After Miss Jiang left me."

"Why?"

Yu Jin chuckled: "This is the second question."

Jiang Si took a deep breath and said coldly, "Ask."

"How did Miss Jiang find out that the son of the Marquis of Changxing had harmed a woman?"

Yu Jin, who was hiding in the dark, heard clearly what Jiang Si, who pretended to be the ghost of Xiu Niang's children, said to Xiu Niang.

At that time, whenever he thought of Jiang Si staying at the Changxing Marquis' Mansion for a night and then discovering the Changxing Marquis's son's horrifying secret, he wished he could tear the Changxing Marquis's son into pieces.

Did that beast do something to Jiang Si? Otherwise, how could a little girl like her know all this?

Jiang Si sighed inwardly.

I knew he would ask this.

She had already made plans on how to deal with the Prince of Changxing and bring him disgrace, and she didn't want to drag other people into it.

But she knew Yu Qi. If she was vague today, he would chop up the prince of Changxing and feed him to the dogs the next moment. It would be clean, simple and willful.

She doesn't want to let the Prince of Changxing get away with it so easily!

"I went to the garden of the Marquis' mansion at night and accidentally saw the servants of the Marquis of Changxing burying a body. I heard what they said and found out."

Yu Jin stood up suddenly.

Jiang Si was anxious and couldn't help but stand up and stand in front of him: "Where are you going?"
