The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
Gu Yaoqing looked at Yun Miao's face. Without the scar, the corner of her right eye had returned to its normal shape. Her eyes were charming and watery, which made him swallow his saliva involuntarily. He was almost sucked in by those eyes.
Suddenly, he was at a loss like a young boy, not knowing where to look. He just hurriedly picked up the fake scar on the table and handed it to Yun Miao, saying: "You...you dropped your things..."
Yun Miao didn't care much. She took the fake scar from Gu Yaoqing's hand and pressed it back on her face, then put her finger to her lips: "Shh! Keep it a secret..."
In fact, it’s okay to be discovered. It’s just to avoid trouble, not something shameful.
"That..." Gu Yaoqing turned his head away, his face flushed: "Doctor Yun was supposed to accompany five young ladies out shopping today, why is he here alone?" Gu Yaoqing changed the subject.
Yun Miao slowly pulled out a white hangover pill from her bosom and tossed it into her mouth. She instantly regained most of her clarity of mind, then sneered, "You said there's nothing wrong with saving someone, but if nothing good comes of it in the end, is it worth it?"
"Of course it's not worth it. I'm a selfish person. I just want to be free and easy. I don't care about other people's life and death, especially those ungrateful people." Gu Yaoqing said lazily, but his eyes looked at the pill in Yun Miao's hand with curiosity.
Yun Miao shook her head: "Saving people is something I have a clear conscience about. Even if the result is not satisfactory, I have never regretted it."
"Then what are you worried about now?" Gu Yaoqing looked at Yun Miao with burning eyes.
Yun Miao placed a pill in Gu Yaoqing's hand: "I just sigh that the hearts of the world are unpredictable and changeable."
"Stick to your heart and don't worry about what others think. If you're worrying about yourself like this, it's probably because you care too much about what others think." Gu Yaoqing said, then studied the pill in his hand: "Doctor Yun, what is this?"
"Hangover pills. If you feel dizzy, take one." Yun Miao chuckled, "Little brother, you're right. It's good to be a person with a clear conscience."

Luo Mansion
"Madam, a lot of jewelry was lost in our house. The first and second wives have already registered it. They suspect there was a thief in the house." Aunt Zhao said to Mrs. Luo with a list in her hand.
Mrs. Luo looked at the list and asked, "Is Yun Miao not back yet?"
"Not yet. Now the five young ladies have fallen out. They have been asking for an explanation for what happened during the day. Now that this has happened, they all think that the things in the mansion must be..." Zhao Ma hesitated to say the rest of her words.
Mrs. Luo asked knowingly, "What is it?"
"It was Miss Yun who stole something, so she left the house for a day to dispose of the stolen goods. If Miss Yun doesn't come back, they will report it to the police."
After hearing this, Mrs. Luo slowly closed her eyes and said nothing.
As soon as she returned to the mansion, she was surrounded by a large group of servants. Someone shouted, "Go and inform the young lady! The thief is back!"
Yun Miao remained calm when she heard this, not surprised at all.
Sure enough, soon the figures of Luo Meng'er, Luo Qing'er, Luo Xue'er, Luo Ning'er, and Luo Qing'er appeared in front of him.
Looking at Yun Miao, Luo Qing'er angrily said, "You bitch, not only did you push us into the water in broad daylight and now become a laughing stock in the entire Haicheng, but now you've even stolen the Luo Mansion's property, and you even dared to come back."
When the five of them thought about what happened during the day, they were so angry that their teeth were itching.
Luo Meng'er was now holding a handkerchief in her hand and sneezing continuously, with a look in her eyes as if she wanted to cut Yun Miao into pieces.
"It was you ladies who humiliated me first during the day. Yun Miao is not a punching bag, so why should I let you bully me for no reason? Besides, what does the loss of things in this mansion have to do with me? Do you have any evidence?" Yun Miao sneered.
Luo Qing'er, who was inside the courtyard, raised her chin high and looked at Yun Miao with disdain: "Apart from you, who else would be so bold? And you're the only one who can enter and leave the Luo Mansion freely every day. Who else could have taken the things if not you?"
"Oh? You mean, I stole something from the mansion every day and pawned it? Then, may I ask, I should be rich now, so where is my money?" Yun Miao looked at everyone present with a calm gaze.
Luo Meng'er stepped forward and looked at Yun Miao coldly, "You certainly wouldn't carry the pawned items with you, nor would you hide them in a place as easy to find as the Luo Mansion. Perhaps you've already asked someone else to help you store your belongings, and everything is in preparation for leaving the Luo Mansion."
"Miss, you can think and say whatever you want, even have the government arrest me. But I want to remind you that evidence is needed before reporting a case. If you don't have any clear evidence, it will be a false accusation. In that case, Yun Miao can also sue you for wrongful accusation and defamation of your reputation." Yun Miao looked back at him with sharp eyes. "If it really comes to a lawsuit, I'm not afraid. You can give it a try."
"You..." Luo Qing'er and others were extremely angry.
This thief is so confident.
"How can you make so much noise so late at night?" Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind.
Jiang came over with her personal maid, acting like the mistress of a household. Looking at the scene at the door, she said calmly, "The master sent me here to pass on a message. It's okay if such a small thing is missing. Miss Yun is our benefactor of the Luo Mansion. If others knew about this, what a joke it would be."
"Mom, these are two different things! Saving someone is saving someone, but stealing is stealing." Luo Meng'er was anxious, fearing that the matter would just end up like this.
Jiang's face instantly turned cold: "Meng'er, now you don't even want to listen to what your mother said?"
"Madam," Yun Miao suddenly spoke, her eyes calmly fixed on Jiang. "If Madam truly feels that the missing items are insignificant, then Yun Miao wouldn't say anything. But Madam's tone suggests that you're willing to compromise on the matter of the lost items because you owe me a favor. Doesn't that clearly imply that the items are connected to me, that I stole them? If that's the case, then Yun Miao would like to say to Madam: Please think twice before making such a false accusation."
Jiang's expression turned ugly for a moment. She was the mistress of the Luo Mansion. Who would dare to embarrass her in public like this? Now she had decided to let the matter go, but who knew that Yun Miao would be so ungrateful?
"If that's the case, Miss Yun, could you please tell me where you were today? A servant reported that you were seen at the pawnshop door, struggling with someone and causing the jewels to fall to the ground. Many people saw you. Miss Yun has a scar on her face, so it's obvious that no one could have mistaken her." Jiang sneered, "I wanted to give Miss Yun some face, but she refused."
As soon as Jiang finished speaking, Luo Meng'er, Luo Qing'er, Luo Xue'er, Luo Ning'er, and Luo Qing'er all looked very happy.
Luo Meng'er pointed at Yun Miao and said, "Okay! You're the thief, yet you're still trying to make excuses here. How ridiculous!"
