Rengui was a recently acquired servant. He was handsome, hardworking, and cheerful, with a smile that curved his eyes. Many of the maids in the Ye family were courting him, hoping to marry him.
Although the maids and servants were bought by the Ye Mansion, they would not interfere with their private marriage.
Rengui rejected everyone and confessed his feelings to Lianzi. The two had a good impression of each other. Ye Qingyue had planned to give a betrothal gift to Lianzi in a while so that they could get married.
But now this matter has been delayed because of her marriage.
"Miss, is there anything I can do for you?" Ye Qingyue has been imprisoned these days, and Lianzi has been forbidden to see Ye Qingyue outside the house. If it weren't for Rengui's help, she would not have been able to come this time.
"Lian Zi, can you help me deliver a letter to A Ci?" Ye Qingyue said after pondering for a moment.
She promised Shen Ci that she would confess to her parents and marry him, but a few days passed and she was locked up here, and she definitely couldn't get any news from Shen Ci.
She was afraid that Shen Ci would misunderstand and think that she didn’t want him.
She wanted to tell Shen Ci that no matter what, she liked him and would do her best to be with him.
"Okay, miss, I'll go get ready."
Not long after, Lianzi brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Ye Qingyue picked up the pen to write down what had happened. At the end of the letter, she stated that she would definitely find a way, and hoped that Shen Ci would not misunderstand and wait for her.
Lianzi placed the folded letter neatly inside her coat and promised, "Don't worry, young lady. I will definitely deliver the letter to Master Shen."
She didn't dare to delay any longer and left in a hurry.
Ye Qingyue looked at her back as she left, and for some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

With Rengui's help, Lianzi left Ye Mansion and went straight to the Mansion School. By this time, the get out of class was over. If Lianzi came later, Shen Ci would not be there.
When Shen Ci saw Lianzi, his dull eyes suddenly lit up. He looked behind her, but when he didn't see the familiar figure, his eyes dimmed a little.
“Mr. Shen, this is a letter from my young lady to you.”
Just as Shen Ci raised his slender hand and was about to gesture something, a letter was stuffed into his hand.
The four characters "Chen Ci Qin Qi" came into view. The characters were written in small regular script with flowers on the hairpin. The font was elegant yet sharp. It was the handwriting that was unique to Ye Qingyue.
[How's Qingyue?] Seeing Lianzi coming and leaving in a hurry, Shen Ci hurriedly gestured and asked.
"The young lady is now imprisoned and can't come out for a while, but she said, please believe her."
Lianzi was in a hurry and couldn't say much. She was also under house arrest now. If the lady knew that she came out, it would implicate Rengui.

The Ye Mansion was unusually quiet today, even feeling a bit eerie.
Lianzi, who hurried back home, didn't pay attention and was busy looking for Rengui to confirm his safety.
"Have you seen Rengui?" Lianzi looked around but didn't see the young man. She became more and more uneasy and asked a passing maid.
"Isn't Rengui always with you? How would I know?" The maid glared at Lianzi fiercely. She was the first one to confess her love to Rengui, but Rengui rejected her and fell in love with Lianzi.
They were jealous of Lian Zi for being able to serve the young lady.
The maid shook off her hand and turned to leave, but met the housekeeper who was walking over.
Lianzi felt the housekeeper's gaze on her, and she felt a chill in her heart. Could it be that the housekeeper knew that she had sneaked out?
"Madam has ordered all the maids and servants to follow."
