"Stop being so conceited and don't say these polite words to me." Shu'er said with a look of contempt and turned away. Ji Ruyan couldn't help but laugh. Her sister was really different from other women.

At night, Ji Heng came back from outside and saw Ji Ruyan waiting outside the yard. He was about to go back to the study to rest, but when he saw her standing there, he thought something big had happened and walked up to her.

"Are you waiting for me?" Ji Heng asked expressionlessly. Ji Ruyan nodded, took his hand and said, "The young master spent a lot of money to redeem me, but he has never looked at me like this in the past few days. Did I do something to make him unhappy?" Seeing Ruyan, so passionate and unrestrained, worthy of being a woman from the mortal world, Ji Ruyan quickly threw her hand aside, not appreciating her flattering gesture at all.

Ji Ruyan looked at him somewhat sadly. She had never seen a man like this before. Since he wanted her, why didn't he...

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." After saying this, Ji Heng turned and left, without giving her any chance to imagine. Ji Ruyan stood there in a daze, her face full of confusion.

"Did Ji Heng really not favor her?" Shu'er asked a few cooks in the house to inquire for information. Unexpectedly, these cooks brought back such good news. Although Ji Heng spent a lot of money to buy a prostitute, he did not spend the night with her in the past few days, let alone any excessive behavior with him.

"Since he bought her but didn't touch her, what's the logic behind this? Did he buy her for fun?" Shu'er was completely puzzled. What on earth was this man thinking? It was getting more and more confusing. The cooks stood aside.

"Madam, could it be that the master has no interest in Ji Ruyan at all, and just took her back home because he felt sorry for her?" Several cooks made bold guesses. Shu'er stood up with doubts in her eyes and waved her hands, saying, "Impossible. He has never had any compassion for others, let alone a woman who came from a brothel."

"Then why is this happening, ma'am? Why don't you go and ask the Lord yourself."

The cooks racked their brains but could not figure out why the master would bring back a girl from a prostitute. And if they didn't ask the master in person, it would be a waste of time for them to guess.

"Forget it. I'll ask him in person when I get a chance. You all can leave first."

"yes."

Shu'er looked at the night outside and thought that Ji Heng must have returned, so she went to the kitchen to make a bowl of black chicken soup and brought it to the study.

Since arriving in Yangzhou, Ji Heng has been sleeping in a separate room from her. Although she also wants to have some fun interactions with him as a couple, Ji Heng has never appreciated it.

"Husband, don't stay up so late. Drink some chicken soup to replenish your body." Shu'er put the black chicken soup aside gently and considerately. Seeing that he was staring at the copy with his bright eyes and couldn't stop looking, she walked forward and wanted to rub his shoulders.

"Where did you take Ji Ruyan today?" Ji Heng suddenly asked this question, catching her off guard.

"I took my sister Ruyan for a stroll today and bought her some of the things she liked."

"That's good. You should be more considerate of her when you get along with her. After all, she is younger than you." As soon as Ji Heng finished speaking, Shu'er's expression became ugly. What does it mean to be more considerate of her because she is younger than him? Could it be that after so many days of marriage, he already thinks she is too old and ugly? "What? Did I say something wrong?" Ji Heng felt that the movement on his neck stopped. He turned his head and looked back curiously. Seeing that she always looked worried, the light in her eyes suddenly dimmed.

"Ji Heng, I really don't understand what you are thinking..." Shu'er muttered to herself, wrapped her arms around his neck and forced his head to turn around, then kissed his thin lips excitedly, and frantically probed into them with the tip of her tongue. Such a domineering yet gentle kiss completely made Ji Heng fall...

Thinking that he had made one mistake after another, Ji Heng had already untied her white belt, but suddenly he heard a voice reporting at the door, "Sir, something bad has happened!" When the voice of the report came from outside, Ji Heng's anger subsided a little. He quickly pushed Shu'er aside, gave her a look, and asked her to put on her clothes quickly.

Shu'er's eyes were filled with dissatisfaction, loneliness and disappointment. She dressed properly and followed him out the door. The servant who opened the door said in panic, "The backyard suddenly caught fire! It was Miss Ruyan's yard that was burning."

"What!" Ji Heng left Shu'er alone in the study, walked quickly to Ruyan's yard, and rescued her from the sea of ​​fire. At this time, Ruyan's face was full of fear. She was about to go to bed when she suddenly felt a cloud of smoke outside the door, which almost suffocated her.

"Sir... Ruyan is really scared." Ji Ruyan wrapped her arms around his neck, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and Shu'er rushed to the side and saw this scene, her heart almost broke into two.

"Why Ji Heng, why do you treat me like this?!" Shu'er clenched her fists tightly and smashed them hard against the locust tree beside her.

"I'm glad you're okay." Ji Heng placed her in his own courtyard and invited a respected old doctor to come and see her in the middle of the night. The old doctor stroked the goat beard on his chin and said, "This girl is fine, she just got a little frightened. She just needs to rest for a few days."

"In that case, go to my yard and rest. There is an empty room there, and the scenery nearby is nice, too." Shu'er didn't want Ji Ruyan to settle down in his yard. What if the two of them took the opportunity to develop feelings? She was afraid of such a day, so she had to keep an eye on their every move all the time.

"Sir... First of all, I'm really scared about why the yard suddenly caught fire. Someone must want to kill Ruyan..." Ji Ruyan still feels scared. Her body keeps shaking. She looks at Ji Heng as if he is looking at a life-saving straw. She doesn't believe that Ji Heng is so indifferent when seeing a beautiful woman crying.

As expected, Ji Heng still had a cold look on his face.

"You take a good rest. I'll send someone to investigate this matter." Ji Heng said coldly and left with his men, leaving only a few maids guarding the door. Once Ji Ruyan needed someone to serve her, those maids would appear.

Shu'er walked forward with a sneer, raising her eyebrows arrogantly.

"I think you have made a wrong calculation. You think that this will attract the attention of adults, right?" Shu'er said sarcastically. Ji Ruyan looked at her blankly, her lips moving slightly.
