However, he was busy investigating who had been following Zhu Qinghao that night, so he quickly put the situation of the elderly couple out of his mind.
Furthermore, he was unaware of the numerous grudges and grievances between the elderly couple and Zhu Qinghao, so he even forgot to mention it to Zhu Qinghao later.
Meanwhile, Zhu Qinghao was busy investigating everything at the Lin family's place and completely forgot about the elderly Liu couple who had been drugged and broken by her.
As expected, Sheng Yi later discovered that as soon as Zhu Qinghao returned to the capital, people noticed her, and many even sent people to keep an eye on her.
Some of them were openly after money, hoping to find the remaining wealth of the Zhu family by following her, while others seemed to have no ulterior motives.
But they didn't seem to do anything; they were just staring at her.
Could it be that she alerted the Lin family while investigating them, thus attracting their attention?
Or is there something about the Zhu family that could threaten certain people, which is why her return caused a lot of tension?
Sheng Yi was a little confused, but he was unwilling to let Zhu Qinghao take risks alone in this huge house, so he simply moved in with her, one in the front yard and the other in the back yard.
Anyway, Haohao said she wanted to marry him, so they were engaged.
Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.
As Sheng Yi recalled the past, his hands never stopped working, and soon two steaming bowls of egg noodles were ready.
When Zhu Qinghao came over after washing up, she was quite surprised to see the noodles on the table.
Some people got drunk last night, but still woke up quite early this morning and were able to make hand-pulled noodles so early, with just one hand.
"Weren't you drunk yesterday? And we don't have anything to do today, so why are you up so early? Are you feeling unwell?"
They drank wine with spiritual spring water added last night, so Zhu Qinghao didn't stop them when they were drinking it.
But she really didn't know what kind of reaction would occur after getting drunk, or whether she would feel unwell after sobering up, since she had never tried it herself.
Every word of Zhu Qinghao's words was full of concern, which made Sheng Yi very happy. He got up and pulled her to sit down at the table.
"I'm perfectly fine, don't worry. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere, and my hand didn't even hurt as much this morning."
And, well, I've discovered that you're my lucky star. After meeting you back in Kyoto, I feel like my hand is healing incredibly fast. You don't know, before that, I often couldn't sleep at night because of the pain..."
At this point, the two of them paused.
One reason is that he hadn't told the truth before, and kept saying that he wasn't in pain, but now that he has just told the truth, he feels guilty.
Another reason is that he was secretly using spiritual spring water on the other person, and it seems that he has not been able to control the amount, making people notice the obvious difference and making him feel guilty.
Finally, Sheng Yi broke the silence.
"Um, the pain that kept me awake was something that happened before I came back, so when you asked me, I really didn't lie to you, okay? Don't be angry, alright?"
Zhu Qinghao hadn't believed his claim that it didn't hurt, and now that the issue of the spiritual spring water was involved, she couldn't wait to change the subject.
"Hmm, it's good that you're not feeling unwell. Let's eat quickly, or the noodles will get soggy."
Sheng Yi didn't feel any discomfort; on the contrary, he felt refreshed.
Seeing that Zhu Qinghao didn't dwell on the things he had kept from her, he breathed a sigh of relief. While eating, he was still wondering if there was anything else he might have forgotten to say.
As he was thinking, he suddenly remembered the Liu family elders and stopped eating.
Perhaps because the movement was quite large, Zhu Qinghao noticed it at a glance.
"What's wrong?"
