I just wanted to relax on the low couch, but I was woken up by the loud sound of rain.
When I opened my eyes, the sky outside the window had already darkened.
She was covered with a quilt by honeysuckle, but still felt a slight chill.
One autumn rain brings one chill.
After dinner, Shen Qiyin taught Rendong to read and write under the lamp. The sound of rain outside the window was slightly urgent, which covered the howling of Shen Ruyin next door.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, illuminating the room as bright as day. As a clap of thunder sounded, Shen Qiyin's hand, which was holding a pen, paused, and a drop of ink fell onto the paper, quickly spreading out.
Honeysuckle looked at her with concern in her eyes: "Miss, are you afraid of thunder?"
"……no."
I used to be afraid, but now I've grown up.
She continued nonchalantly, pointing to the four elegant characters on the paper and telling Ren Dong, "This is called 'a turtle in a jar'."
Honeysuckle nodded, carefully noting it down, thinking to herself, "Why am I still inseparable from the turtle?"

After breakfast, Shen Qiyin took her out to the residence of Feng Yuan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
She didn't send a visiting card beforehand, but upon arrival, she directly told Ren Dong to knock on the door.

As luck would have it, Feng Ruoying was just walking out of the mansion when she saw Shen Qiyin suddenly arrive. She rushed over and said in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Qiyin, ever good-natured, answered every question: "Annection of the engagement."
"You want to break off the engagement?!" Feng Ruoying's voice suddenly rose, and she launched into a tirade of sarcasm: "Did I hear that right? You're actually giving up this chance to rise to the top? Are you playing hard to get?"
Shen Qiyin frowned: "Keep your voice down."
"Ha! You're afraid people will hear? Then I'll shout it out so everyone can know."
“…No.” Shen Qiyin looked helpless: “When I was little, I went to the temple to worship Buddha. The donkeys in the temple would bray with their mouths wide open like you. I was scared.”
