Mrs. Yang woke up and realized that this was something she had agreed with Xie Yun early in the morning.
Xie Yun stood by the door of Luo Shenyuan's study. This was her first time at the Luo family's house. He kept two large tortoises in his study, and they were clearly well cared for. The large tortoises swam back and forth, nibbling on small fish and shrimp, or resting beneath the rockery. They moved slowly, their shells glistening and smooth. Because they wouldn't be eaten, they lived a leisurely life.
Xie Yun felt that Luo Shenyuan was the kind of person who was indifferent to emotions. He didn't seem to have the leisure to raise turtles.
When she first saw Luo Shenyuan, she didn't think he was anything special. He stood beside Lord Sun, silent and taciturn. When others told her that Sun Congwan was also known as a talented woman, she was extremely dismissive. A delicate and frail young lady like Sun Congwan, if she could recite a few lines of poignant poetry, would be considered talented.
So she deliberately used riddles to embarrass Sun Congwan, but he easily solved them. His answers were clever and his thinking was quick and clear.
At that time, Xie Yun was still unconvinced and said sarcastically, "Uncle Sun, is this person who is speaking a relative of yours?"
Lord Sun smiled and told her, "You've always wanted to see the young champion, right? He is it."
Xie Yun collected his thoughts and lingered at the door for a moment before saying, "It's unlikely that the people who arrested her were robbers. Did you offend some high-ranking official and nobleman, which led to her being arrested? I know you care about your sister, and you're also worried about her being arrested. If you need any help, you can come to me..."
He leaned back in his armchair with his eyes closed, seemingly not hearing anything.
Xie Yun couldn't help but shout at him loudly: "Luo Shenyuan!"
Luo Shenyuan opened his eyes, looked at her and closed them again: "Why haven't you left yet?"
He held in his hand something Mrs. Yang had given him: an earring that Yining had worn when she went out. He had told Yining that if she were ever in danger, keeping the earring meant her life was safe. He hadn't expected her to remember it. Could she have concluded that following Lu Jiaxue meant her life was safe?
She still lied. Her relationship with Lu Jiaxue was definitely more than just a resemblance to an old friend.
Luo Shenyuan's reason told him very clearly that he was making a calm judgment.
"Do you need my help..." Xie Yun changed his tone and repeated it.
Luo Shenyuan shook his head: "Go back."
He put on his cloak and walked out, saying, "Inform the Duke of England's residence. I want to see the Duke of England."
This matter should be told to Wei Ling, who is Yining's father and holds military power. However, Wei Ling cannot defeat Lu Jiaxue, and Luo Shenyuan tells him that he just wants to have a support from the rear.
Lu Jiaxue had first used the incident of accusing him to lure the tiger away from the mountain. He was afraid that in order to continue to attract his attention, more and more censors would come to accuse him of wrongdoing. However, he was not worried about the censors. The emperor trusted him very much and valued him. As long as there was no solid evidence, the censors' scolding would be useless.
The man hated the revenge of having his wife stolen the most. If he could snatch Luo Yining away, what would he do to her?
Luo Shenyuan's face remained calm, but the turmoil within him intensified. He practically squeezed Yi Ning's earlobes into his palm. He had never been able to accept Yi Ning being close to another man, let alone being snatched away by someone else. Being her brother was one thing, but now it was another.
He could no longer be this hypocritical brother. He wanted to be her true husband and would not let anyone else get involved.
When he turned around, his expression was undisguisedly grim: "Send a message to that person and tell him I'll go see him tomorrow."
He rarely saw this person anymore.
Every time they meet, there will inevitably be a sword-fighting competition, a battle of wits and courage.
Few in the world today can rival him. There are many geniuses, and Luo Shenyuan, having entered the world, must cultivate the skills to navigate with ease. This, however, is a genius who remains unseen, retiring to the mountains, yet possessing both the courage of a military officer and the refinement of a scholar.

Luo Yining was tortured by the pain until midnight and fell asleep at dawn. But she woke up soon after, her whole body stiff because she realized she was in someone else's arms.
And a big hand was placed on her lower abdomen, which was slightly warm.
"Wake up." When he spoke, his lips always touched her skin gently, and a heat made her shiver.
Noticing her avoidance, he smiled again, "Why, you haven't woken up in your husband's arms in years. Are you scared?"
Yining looked at the bright daylight filtering into the house. To her, this scene was indeed something she hadn't seen in countless years.
"You are not my husband." Luo Yining heard herself say.
