"Master, please go and check on the young master. He hasn't woken up yet." Upon hearing this, Zhang Ke narrowed his eyes and quickly walked into the house.

The scene changes, and Shu'er hears that Ji Heng recently went to Wanhua Tower and redeemed a beautiful brothel girl. Naturally, she wants to see what kind of beauty she is.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw dozens of guards standing in front of it. Each of them was an elite soldier and would not let anyone step in.

"Madam, please don't embarrass us. We can't let you in without your permission." Those guards would rather die than let anyone in. Shu'er looked inside and couldn't see anything. The doors and windows were closed tightly. It was really confusing to hide a beauty in the house like this.

"If you don't let me in, the girl will be bored in the room. We have to let her out for some fresh air." Shu'er wanted to see what kind of vixen this was who could have bewitched her Ji Heng to such an extent. It was really embarrassing that she had met such a charming woman just after arriving in Yangzhou.

"Madam, you cannot go in without the master's order..."

After talking for the same few minutes, Shu'er stamped her feet helplessly. When she turned around, she saw Ji Heng who had just returned from outside, and quickly took a step back.

"Why do you want to go in?" Shu'er said nothing, but secretly looked up at him. She really wanted to ask him what was going on with Ji Ruyan, but the words were swallowed back down her throat.

"I heard you say that you brought someone back from outside, so I was curious and wanted to take a look." Shu'er pretended to be reserved and elegant in front of him, but her heart was already in a mess.

"If you want to meet him, then come in with me."

Ji Heng led her in without any hesitation. Shu'er followed him closely. She hadn't decided what to say to Ji Ruyan. Should she give her a warning or drive her out of the house?

A mess of thoughts were swirling in his mind, and Ji Heng opened the door at this moment. The girl in the pastel-colored clothes in the room was truly stunning.

"Young Master." Ji Ruyan had been locked up for two days without seeing this young master. She thought that he was going to take her to the capital, and she felt a little reluctant.

"Thank you for your hard work. Miss Ruyan didn't let you go out for your safety."

Ji Heng's tone was still as cold as usual, without any warmth. Shu'er looked at the two people and there seemed to be no chemistry between them. Why did Ji Heng go to so much trouble to redeem her from the brothel and take such a big risk?

Isn't this obviously giving someone a handle? Ji Ruyan walked forward, looked at the dignified and elegant woman in front of her, smiled at her and said, "This should be my sister, my name is Ruyan."

"Who is your sister? Don't call her that." Shu'er felt that the relationship between the two people was a little weird. It didn't look like they had an ambiguous relationship. Besides, he didn't go to any place with fireworks after coming to Yangzhou. How could he know Ji Ruyan?

"It's okay. We can learn to get along with each other later." Ji Ruyan thought that this young man just admired her reputation, so he redeemed her on impulse, but this young man's identity was mysterious and he didn't seem to have any interest in her.

"Shu'er, if Miss Ruyan is bored, you can walk with her in the yard. Remember, you can't go anywhere else except nearby."

Shu Er stood there in a daze, pointing at her nose. He was actually asked to accompany a prostitute! "Why, is that not possible?"

"No, no, it's not impossible. I can improve my relationship with Miss Ruyan, which will naturally help us get along in the future." Shu'er answered expressionlessly, as if she was chanting a sutra. She took Ji Ruyan out for a walk.

Seeing her buying rouge and powder as soon as she goes out, she is such a spendthrift woman.

"Can you buy less stuff? Can you wear all that fabric and use all that rouge?" Even a princess like her rarely bought these things. She didn't expect this woman from a brothel to be so particular. Ji Ruyan looked at her and smiled, "There are some for my sister too. I don't know if you like them, so I bought some more."

"If you really wanted to buy them for me, you should have asked me what I like instead of buying them all with your eyes closed. Do you think I'm stupid?" Shu'er snorted coldly and walked towards the street ahead.

As I was walking, I heard the sound of reading. This was a private school. I stopped here out of curiosity. I had heard Ji Heng say that His Royal Highness Prince Zhao was now working as a teacher there. If I were a student taking the imperial examination, I might be able to meet him. It seemed that my aunt was here too.

Shu'er peeked inside. Ji Ruyan found her look really funny and smiled secretly.

"What are you laughing at? Are you going to go in if I'm going in?" Shu'er looked at her dissatisfiedly. Ruyan nodded, and the two of them walked in from the backyard when no one was paying attention.

Gu Yunru was frying a few side dishes in the kitchen. She put the marinated duck meat into a jar and soaked it in sour water, preparing to make spicy and sour shredded duck and a mushroom soup. These dishes were enough to make Wang Xiucai and his companions salivate.

As Shu'er was walking, she finally saw Gu Yunru in the kitchen. She walked up to her stealthily, ready to scare her, but unexpectedly a basin of chili water was poured out and hit her right on the head.

"Ah!" Shu'er screamed, Gu Yunru was stunned for a moment, put down the kitchen knife in his hand, and walked forward. "Shu'er, why is it you? Miss Ruyan..." Seeing the two people who suddenly came, Gu Yunru was surprised and happy, and pulled them to sit down by the yard, and put some candied fruits and snacks.

Seeing that the two of them were not enemies, he laughed and said, "It seems that Ji Heng really hides you like a treasure and no one can see you, but don't worry, Shu'er is fine."

Now Ruyan is becoming more and more confused about the identities of these people.

"Miss, the last time you went to Wanhua Tower you said you had something to do, but I haven't seen you since.

And last time, that young master seemed very worried about your whereabouts. Where did you go?"

Gu Yunru was stunned and speechless, unable to come up with anything to say for a while. Ruyan was also one of their people, and it would not be good to hide it any longer.

But it’s better if fewer people know about this.

"It's actually very simple. I was kidnapped by a few hooligans, but luckily my husband rescued me in time, so nothing serious happened."

When Shu'er heard this, she was so shocked that she put down the teacup in her hand.

"You didn't tell me about such a big thing. But it's normal that you didn't tell me since we live so far apart now." He was afraid that Shu'er would reveal the emperor and Rong Zhen's affairs if she continued, so he stuffed all the candied fruit into her mouth.

"Okay, okay, stop talking about this. The food is ready. You can stay and eat together."
