After leaving the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Yun Wanrou went straight to Guangxia Academy.

Before she reached the entrance of the academy, she saw Yun Yi walking out of the academy quickly.

Yun Wanrou raised her hand and wanted to call him.

However, before she could finish her words, she saw Yun Yi look around and sneak into a small alley.

Seeing this, Yun Wanrou frowned.

She hurried forward, and just as she reached the entrance of the alley, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

"Brother Yi, when will you take me home?"

"Wait a little longer. I haven't found a chance to tell my father about what happened between us."

"You always make excuses. Don't you like me?"

The woman pushed Yun Yi away, pretending to be angry and turned around with her back to him.

However, when she raised her eyes, she saw Yun Wanrou standing at the entrance of the alley.

She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously hid behind Yun Yi.

Yun Yi noticed her abnormality and followed her gaze.

Seeing Yun Wanrou walking in slowly, he suddenly clutched the corner of his clothes and felt a little nervous.

"Sister, why are you here?"

"Second brother, I should be the one asking you this question!"

Yun Wanrou looked at Yun Yi, then turned to look at the woman hiding behind him.

"Why are you here and who is she?"

"She is Nan'er, the daughter of the county magistrate. We are in love with each other. I was just looking for an opportunity to tell my father that Nan and I..."

"Come back with me!"

Yun Wanrou interrupted Yun Yi and turned to walk out.

Yun Yi took a step forward and was suddenly grabbed by Nan'er's sleeve.

"Brother Yi, you won't abandon me, right?"

"Don't worry, Nan'er. How could I bear to abandon such a good girl like you?"

Yun Yi patted the back of her hand gently.

"My sister already knows what happened between us. I will go back with her and explain it to father."

"Well, Brother Yi, I'll wait for you!"

Nan'er raised the corner of her mouth slightly and nodded with a smile.

Yun Yi pulled his hand back and followed Yun Wanrou out of the alley.

Yun Wanrou frowned and didn't say a word all the way.

When they returned to the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, Yun Yi couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why don't you speak? Don't you like Nan'er?"

"yes!"

Yun Wanrou paused and turned to meet his eyes.

"Second brother, you said she was the daughter of the county, have you gone to the county magistrate's house to ask?"

"What's there to ask? Nan'er is a good girl, I believe everything she says!

Besides, her background is not important, there is no need for her to lie to me!"

"How long have you known her? Do you trust her so much?"

Yun Wanrou glared at him with disapproval.

"If she really is from a good family, how could she have a secret meeting with you in a small alley?"

"Isn't Jiang... Jiang Yan also the daughter of the Marquisate?"

Yun Yi scratched his head and looked at Yun Wanrou awkwardly.

Yun Wanrou was choked by his words and turned around to walk inside.

"Sister, don't be angry!"

"I know you are doing this for my own good. I will listen to you and go to the county magistrate's house to inquire this afternoon."

Yun Wanrou kept walking: "When you find out everything, come and talk to me!"

"oh!"

Yun Yi responded angrily and stopped.

He looked at Yun Wanrou's back as she quickly left, then turned to look outside the door and hesitated for a moment.

Forget it, let’s not wait until the afternoon.

He would go buy gifts now and go to the county magistrate's house to meet the future Lord Taishan.

Yun Yi was happy when he left, but listless when he came back.

As soon as he got home, he locked himself in his room and refused to open the door no matter who called him.

Yangyang climbed onto the stone bench in the yard, sat on the stone table, and ate melon seeds while looking in the direction of Yunyi.

[How come there is no sound at all in my second uncle's room? ]

[Could it be that he was upset when he went to the county magistrate's house, and he couldn't think straight, so he committed suicide? ]

[Isn't she just a singing girl in the famous flower house? My second uncle is not a person who has never seen the world. Is it necessary for him to be so infatuated with her? ]

Famous flower building?

Nan'er is from Minghualou!

Yun Yi's eyes lit up and he stood up and walked to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he met Yun Wanrou who came to look for Yangyang.

Seeing that he was about to go out again, Yun Wanrou frowned and looked at him coldly.

"Hasn't Second Brother already found out everything? Why are you still going out?"

“I know she’s not the county magistrate’s daughter, but what does it matter?

She didn't mean to deceive me, she just wasn't confident about her background!"

Yun Yi looked at Yun Wanrou and kept making excuses for Nan'er.

Yun Wanrou glared at him and was almost mad at him.

"Second brother, why are you so stubborn? How can a singer from Minghualou be sincere?

Even if she is sincere, you are not in her heart. She approaches you on purpose, for... for another purpose!"

[Yes, yes, mother is right. That Nan'er took money from Jiang Huaishu and deliberately approached you.]

[Jiang Huaishu thinks you are the dumbest person in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, so he is looking for a breakthrough from you and wants to destroy the Grand Tutor's Mansion.]

[If you bring Nan'er back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, you'll be inviting a wolf into the house. Once she gets the Grand Tutor's Mansion's token, she'll bite you back and accuse you of forcibly seizing a woman.]

[When that happens, not only you, but the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion will suffer as well! ]

Nan'er is from Jiang Huaishu!

Yun Yi's eyes widened as if he was struck by lightning.

He thought Nan'er was sincere to him.

She hid her background from him because she was not confident about it.

But she didn't expect that from the very beginning, she approached him with a purpose.

He didn't care about her background and could forget that she had cheated on him.

But the Grand Tutor's Mansion and his family are his bottom line.

She helped Jiang Huaishu to deal with the Grand Tutor's Mansion, that wouldn't work!

"I'm going to find her!"

After saying this, Yun Yi walked past Yun Wanrou and walked out quickly.

Yun Wanrou wanted to call him.

But after opening his mouth, he held back.

She has said everything that needs to be said.

But now, my second brother was so obsessed with that woman that he couldn't listen to what she said at all.

It seems that she has no choice but to strike first!

…

dusk.

When Yun Yi arrived at Minghualou, there were no guests yet.

A few women were sitting lazily on the first floor drinking tea and chatting.

Yun Yi walked in quickly and glanced at them quickly.

When Nan'er saw him, she quickly lowered her head.

"Nan'er, you are really here!"

"How did you know I was here?"

Nan'er frowned and slowly raised her head.

When she looked at Yun Yi, her eyes were filled with surprise.

"I've been to the county magistrate's home. He does have a daughter. But her daughter is only eight years old this year!"

"You...you actually went to ask about me!"

Nan'er stood up suddenly, her eyes filled with anger.

"Yun Yi, you don't believe me!"

Not only did she not explain, but she also blamed me.

Yun Yi laughed at himself, turned around and walked out.

"Yun Yi, stop right there!"
