The door creaked open and a young man walked out of the yard.
"Aunt Hua, the owner is not here."
Qin Huai was dressed in a coarse linen shirt, his face dark, and at first glance he looked like a refugee. "Aunt Hua, any news? If it's important, I can send a pigeon to the owner of the manor."
The woman called Aunt Hua didn't look surprised at the words. She pondered, "While this matter is important, it's not urgent. Brother Qin Huai, there's no need to send a pigeon. But when the owner of the manor returns, you must tell him the message in person. Don't use someone else."
Qin Huai nodded: "That's natural."
Aunt Hua beckoned to Qin Huai and whispered, "Today I ran into the child from the Shen family in the shop..."
…
It was not until dusk that day that Song Huan returned home with a carriage full of things, feeling unsatisfied.
The carriage drove straight into Song Huan and Pei Yan's yard before stopping. Song Huan took down all the things he bought, leaving only one jar of wine, and asked Jinle and others to drive the carriage to deliver the rest to Butler Pei.
Jinyue was holding a jar of wine, Song Huan was carrying cakes from Baoyunzhai, and the other things were carried into the yard by the servants.
Song Huan asked Jin Yue to take the servant to put all the things in her room first.
I bought a bit too much... I'd better not let Pei Yan know for now.
However, Song Huan's worries were obviously unnecessary.
The next morning, she opened her daily tasks as usual.
At first, she was not too surprised when she saw that the "sleep once a day" task had not been completed.
Ever since Pei Yan became busy, leaving home early and returning late, this task has only been completed twice.
Apart from these two times, the other times were less than two hours. Sometimes it was half an hour off, sometimes it was a quarter of an hour off, and there was even one time it was less than a minute off... That day, Song Huan was depressed the whole day.
"How long did Pei Yan sleep last night?" Song Huan prepared himself mentally and asked the system calmly.
The system's electronic voice was also calm: "Dear, according to the detection data of this system, the target "Pei Yan" slept with you for zero time last night."
Song jubilantly sat up from the bed, "Pei Yan actually stayed out all night!?"
System: "Dear, this system has nothing to say."
"If you want to know the answer, I suggest you ask the target directly."
Song Huan: “…”
If she knew where Pei Yan had gone, wouldn't she have gone looking for him long ago?
But Pei Yan's people were more tight-lipped than each other. She had asked them these past few days, but everyone's answer was "I don't know"...
Forget it, let’s ignore that guy for now.
Although she didn't know what he was doing, if his life was in danger, the system would definitely notify her immediately.
That guy is an adult, she doesn't need to worry too much.
Song Huan decided to continue wandering around today, looking for triggering random tasks.
But when they went out, Song Huan found that the servant following them had been replaced.
The two men dressed as servants in front of her were none other than Qin Shi and Jin Liu, who had been monitoring her in the military camp.
"Why are you two here?" Song Huan was a little surprised.
Although they were acquaintances, Qin Shi and Jin Liu still had no expression on their faces.
They just clasped their fists together and said, "Madam, we two subordinates have been ordered to come and protect you."
Song Huan was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
Ha! Pei Yanyan, this scheming dog!
He didn't let her know any news about him, but asked someone to report her whereabouts to him every day!
Song Huan's tone couldn't help but turn colder, "Did the Marquis ask you to come here?"
The two nodded in agreement.
Qin Shi added: "It was Guard Pei Chen who passed the order to the army."
Upon hearing this, Song Huan glanced at Qin Shiyi.
She discovered in the army that Qin Shi seemed easier to talk to than others.
"The Marquis seems to be very busy recently. I haven't seen him for several days."
Song Huan asked tentatively, "Do you know what the Marquis is doing?"
But this time Qin Shi said, "I don't know."
Song Huan: “…”
Well, she was just wishful thinking.
"Let's go out." Song Huan said, and got into the carriage with Jinyue and Jinle.
Yesterday they went to the commercial street in the south of the city, which was close to the Marquis' Mansion. Today, after asking Jinle and Jinyue, Song Huan went to the east of the city.
Unlike the quiet business atmosphere in the south of the city, the east of the city seems much more lively, with many small vendors setting up stalls next to the shops, selling all kinds of things.
Jinle was very happy and had already started planning to buy some sugar figures and candied haws.
Song Huan lifted the car curtain and looked at the scene, but a strange feeling arose in his heart.
Once we got off the carriage, the strange feeling became even stronger.
"Madam, can I go to Grandpa Li's place to buy some candied haws?"
Jinle spoke in a clear voice, looking up at Song Huan with bright eyes, pointing his finger at an old man selling candied haws not far away.
Song Huan followed her gaze and saw that the old man had dark skin and wrinkles on his face. He looked very old.
He seemed to have heard Jinle talking, and his droopy face opened up into a kind smile the moment Jinle's voice rang out.
"Go ahead." Song Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe there have been too many assassinations recently, so she was overthinking it.
However, before she could relax, Jin Liu whispered in her ear, "Madam, Qin Shi and I have discovered that there are many people here who know martial arts."
"For your safety, Madam, I hope you will leave this place as soon as possible."
"..." When Song Huan heard this, the strange feeling that had not yet been suppressed rose up again.
She pursed her lips and said nothing for a moment.
"System, I need a 'Dangerous Event Warning' ticket."
System: "Dear, we need to deduct one day's life value from your purchase. Are you sure you want to purchase it?"
Song Huan: "Confirmed."
System: "OK dear, one day's life value has been deducted."
"You have successfully purchased the 'Dangerous Event Warning' coupon. Would you like to use it now?" "Yes or No."
Song Huan: "Yes, use it now."
System: "Using the 'Dangerous Event Warning' ticket, please wait..."
"Ding—the system has detected multiple danger sources within a three-kilometer radius."
"...More than one?" Song Huan was scared.
She came here to do random tasks to earn health points, not to lose her life.
"We'll go back home when Jinle comes back," she said to Jin Liu.
Jin Liu should be it.
The system then sent another message, "Yes, dear, your current location is quite dangerous, but the specific situation requires you to check the details of the dangerous event. Would you like to check it now?"
Song Huan glanced at Jinle. The little girl had just bought five candied haws and was walking towards them with both hands full.
Song Huan waved to Jinle, signaling her to come over quickly.
Then he said to the system: "Check."
System: "Dangerous event details:
The first source of danger is the candied haws in Jinle's hand.
Song Huan: “…”
Is this candied haws poisonous?
At this time, Jinle had already walked up to them and was about to give each of them a candied haws.
Song Huan took them all and said, "Jinle, we are going back home. Can we eat the candied haws after we get on the carriage?"
Jinle: “…”
His cheeks puffed up, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Madam."
Song Huan rubbed her head and turned to walk towards the carriage.
"The candied haws are temporarily taken care of. System Master, please continue."
System: "Danger Source - Second Location: The wonton stew stall behind you at six o'clock."
Song Huan: "None of us eat wontons..."
System: "Dear... please do not interrupt this system. I am about to tell you the 'cause of the danger' and the 'solution'."
"Okay, I was wrong."
Song Huan admitted his mistake decisively.
She hadn't used this item for so long that she had forgotten that the warning ticket could provide a solution.
System: "Cause of danger - in a quarter of an hour, the wonton vendor will get into an argument with the noodle vendor next to him. During the argument, the two will overturn the stove. There is a 20% chance that the hot water in the stove will burn you."
"Solution—please stay away from these two stalls."
Song Huan: “…” Too powerless to complain.
She has already walked to the carriage and is ready to go back home, okay?
"Anything else? Next one." Song Huan stepped on the stool.
System: "Danger source - the third location: the target "Pei Yan" and the heroine "Cui Yuning" in the book one kilometer away."
Song Huan paused and his body stiffened.
"Madam?" Jin Yue saw that Song Huan's face was not very good, and she couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with you?"
Song Huan's foot, which was on the stool, retreated back to the ground. "It's okay."
Her eyes flashed and she continued to listen to the system's next words.
"Cause of danger—In half a quarter of an hour, the heroine of the book, Cui Yuning, the capture target, Pei Yan, and others will arrive at the East City Market. A large-scale fight will then break out. There is a 90% chance that you will be injured during this fight."
"Solution—Please leave the East City Market as soon as possible."
"Danger source - fourth location: half a kilometer away..."
The system's electronic voice was still reporting dangerous events in a dull voice, but Song Huan was in no mood to listen any further.
Pei Yan and the heroine in the book... Could it be that this guy didn't come home last night because he was with Cui Yuning?
Song Huan's chest suddenly felt stuffy and his cheeks suddenly lost all color.
As soon as he loosened his grip, the bright red candied haws fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and was covered with a layer of yellow soil.
Seeing the candied haws fall to the ground, Jinle's dark eyes couldn't help but gleam with tears, and he felt extremely distressed.
But when she looked up and saw Song Huan's pale face, she suppressed the tears in her eyes and whispered to comfort him, "Madam, the candied haws fell, so don't be sad. Jinle will go buy another one."
Song Huan lowered his eyes and looked at Jinle, whose black eyes flickered. A smile could not help but curl his lips. "Jinle is right. I'll buy more candied haws."
“But you can’t buy it here.”
Song Huan stepped onto the carriage and said, "Let's go to the south of the city. I just need to buy two more boxes of Baoyunzhai cakes."
"Yes, yes! Madam, you are so kind!" Jinle no longer felt sorry for the candied haws that fell on the ground, and followed Song Huan into the carriage.
However, Jinle was easily distracted, but Jinyue was not.
She clearly saw that it was Madam Jian who changed her expression first, and then dropped the candied haws in her hand... Jin Yue got on the carriage with a heavy heart.
The author has something to say: Song Huan: Divorce, divorce is a must.
Pei Yan: ???
Jinjin: Don’t worry, no, Pei Yanyan is innocent.
Also, you all don’t remember Qin Huai, right? Hahaha, he was the subordinate of Qin Manor Master. The one who helped Huanhuan look after the shop in the capital was Qin Zhi (try not to laugh)…
