This place seems to be a fairyland isolated from the world, making people intoxicated and forgetting all worries and fatigue.
Because there are two choices here, one is Blore's new friend, and the other is Cyclamen. Without hesitation, Ma Tuan quickly chose the latter. Although he always believed that a friend of a friend is a friend, he should not consider this friend as a friend, at least not a friend who gossips.
After the female voice finished speaking, Lu'e was the first to stand up from the chair and start searching. Seeing this, the remaining two people also started looking around.
In the end, the three people only found eight boxes of account books, three boxes of land deeds, two boxes of personal deeds, and some gold, silver and jewelry.
"No, someone is coming." Lu'e suddenly stood up and jumped directly onto the beam. There was a shadow of candlelight on the beam, which was tightly covered.
The remaining two people thought they were unlucky and that they couldn't work as fast as him, so they had to hide behind the screen.
The sound of running feet could be heard.
There is only a hollow carved wooden door separating this place from the outside.
The door to the study was gently pushed open, and a graceful figure floated in like a dream. She was dressed in silk and satin, and her figure was light and graceful, as if she had walked out of a painting.
She walked straight to the desk and sat gracefully on it, her long legs crossed in a charming pose. Her face was exquisite, her skin was as white as snow, her eyes were like stars, and her slightly upturned mouth was filled with a mysterious smile that made people fall in love with her.
She held a few thin sheets of paper in her hands, seemingly reading something. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if the entire world was within her grasp. Her fingers, long and slender, gently flipped the papers, making a rustling sound.
She wore a pair of cyan earrings inlaid with sparkling gemstones, which contrasted with her skin and further highlighted her noble temperament. Her hair fell down her back like a waterfall, swaying gently with her movements and emitting a charming fragrance.
The whole study became exceptionally bright because of her arrival. She was like a shining pearl, emitting dazzling light.
"Ayue, why are you leaving so fast?" A man came in immediately. He had a handsome face and a tall stature. He looked at Fang Ruyue with obsession in his eyes.
"Brother Asheng, do you think Ruyu will be back soon?" the woman asked indifferently.
The man sat down, "Maybe, but you know I don't care. Our engagement is coming up soon."
The woman lowered her eyes and hummed softly, almost imperceptibly.
The man stepped forward and wanted to hug her, but Fang Ruyue pushed him away, took off her earrings and stuffed them into his arms, then ran away.
Soon another man came in. Just one look at him revealed how cunning this man was. Fox looked at him with his eyes slanted, covering his mouth with his folding fan. "Don't look anymore, he's already gone."
The man reluctantly withdrew his gaze, his eyes flashing with obsession and nostalgia, as if he could see the woman on the other side through the wall. After a long time, he slowly came back to his senses, and with difficulty moved his eyes away from the wall, looking at the fox-eyed man next to him as if giving alms.
"Li Fuyuan, what are you doing?" The man's voice was low and magnetic, but at this moment it carried a hint of dissatisfaction and anger.
Li Fuyuan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Who doesn't know that the Fang family is wealthy and powerful? If we two sons-in-law don't unite a little, do you want to be cheated to death?" His tone was light and teasing, and he didn't seem to care about the man's attitude.
The man glared at Li Fuyuan fiercely, a flash of anger in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "I really like her, and you should stay away from her from now on." With that, he turned and left, leaving Li Fuyuan standing there.
Li Fuyuan looked at the man's departing back, shook his head helplessly, and muttered to himself: "Really? It's been so long, and he's still so stingy."
Then he lowered his head, a puzzled look on his face, and muttered to himself, "But it's true. I'm a suspicious person by nature, and I can't help but overthink things."
As Li Fuyuan spoke, he walked towards his desk, opened a drawer, took out an account book, and began to carefully flip through it. His eyes were focused, as if he was searching for some important clue.
The scene changed again, and three people were standing inside the house, including the elderly from the Li and Zhang families.
The attitudes of both sides were tense, but the air was filled with a heavy scent of sandalwood, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Fang Ruyue walked in weakly in a white dress.
She seemed to be sick, her face was as pale as paper, her body was thin, and she just slumped over in the chair.
Zhang Fusheng just stood there stupidly, with his head down and not saying a word.
Li Fuyuan, who was standing next to her, waved a paper fan to hide the smile on his lips, and his fox eyes kept watching Fang Ruyue's every move.
Both the Li and Zhang families brought a lot of people and quarreled endlessly. But Fang Ruyue was the only one sitting there in the Fang family. Stacks of account books and stacks of land deeds were checked by everyone at will. The two families quarreled until their faces were red, but no one cared about Fang Ruyue who was sitting there. A hint of viciousness flashed in Fang Ruyue's eyes, but it was soon replaced by tears.
She stood up and threw herself on the mistress of the Zhang family, who immediately pushed her away.
"Your family members all died a long time ago. You're such a jinx! If you ask me, a woman like you deserves to be burned to death."
The mistress of the Zhang family showed disdain on her face, and her face, which should have looked wealthy, now revealed an extremely ferocious expression.
"It's not like that, it's not like that." Fang Ruyue's eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed the corner of Zhang Fusheng's clothes again and just stared at him.
