Su Ruanruan turned and left, not looking at Xiaoyu's aggrieved expression.

She went to the tofu shop and stayed there for a long time before leaving wearing the veil she had prepared.

After walking around several streets, he turned into a bookstore. When the waiter saw the person coming, he came over to greet him.

"Submit your manuscript."

Just two simple words, and the waiter didn't ask any more questions.

Su Ruanruan was led to the back hall. When the shopkeeper saw Su Ruanruan, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

"Girl, you're finally here. I thought you were going to stay out a few days."

Although he didn't know what her face looked like under the veil, he knew that she was his God of Wealth.

Her sketchbooks and art albums are so popular.

But the reward is not small.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, to be honest with you, we are just a small business. Although there are many people coming and going here, we don't make much money. Can we increase the price we agreed on before..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ruanruan interrupted him, "Boss, do you think I'm easy to fool because I'm dressed simply and young?"

Su Ruanruan stood up and looked around the back hall. "In the northwest border, this small county town is full of great things. I won't talk about the front for now, but the back hall is so magnificent, how can you tell me that it is not profitable?"

Su Ruanruan tapped the table lightly with her fingers, "Golden nanmu."

She pointed to the chairs again, "rosewood."

He turned around and looked at the antique shelf behind him. "Red rosewood."

The shopkeeper was shocked. Although the woman was dressed in coarse cloth, she looked quite knowledgeable.

Su Ruanruan continued, "Since I have found your family, I naturally know your strength. I also know that these books are not only sold in this branch."

"I think they have already spread to the capital! The shopkeeper knows exactly how much profit is made from this. If you cry poor and pitiful in front of me, it means you don't want to cooperate with me anymore."

Su Ruanruan reached out to take the drawing, but the shopkeeper got there first, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. Our shop is sincere in wanting to cooperate with you for a long time."

After that, he quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it to Su Ruanruan, "This is a reward. Don't be angry about what happened today, it's my fault, please don't hurt the harmony between us."

Su Ruanruan looked at the twenty taels more than before and curled her lips, "Harmony brings wealth, I understand."

She pulled out another manuscript from her bosom and said, "I have all kinds of styles here, including sweet love stories, sadomasochism stories, and so on. In view of our long-term cooperation, I will give you this manuscript for free."

"I'm leaving now, see you later!"

The shopkeeper sent Su Ruanruan out of the back hall before opening the manuscript.

"Brother Huo...you can't do this."

Su Ruanruan threw the banknotes into the space and was in a good mood.

Just as I left the bookstore, I heard Mu Bai's voice.

"Soft?"

Su Ruanruan turned around and saw Mu Bai holding a small package in his hand, looking at her curiously.

Su Ruanruan lifted the veil of the hat and blinked, "I'm wearing a hat, how do you know it's me?"

Mu Bai thought of something and his cheeks turned from white to red. He then thought of something else and his ears also turned red.

He and Ruanruan were almost integrated into each other's bones and blood, and her scent was so familiar to him.

Besides, there was a faint, refreshing and unique fragrance on her body, so there was no way she could make a mistake.

Mu Bai smiled and said, "Silly boy, how could I not recognize you?"

"Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why did you come out?"

He looked at the veil on Su Ruanruan's head again. He thought that she must be afraid that passers-by would recognize her and point fingers at her.

Su Runrun knew that Mu Bai felt sorry for her again, but she wore the veil not because of passers-by, but because she was afraid that the people in the bookstore would recognize her, but she couldn't say it.

"Well... it's too boring at home. I want to go out for a walk, but I'm afraid that everyone will recognize me."

Mu Bai felt a pang of pain in his heart. It was clearly not Ruanruan's fault, but why did everyone want to hurt her?

"What is Brother Mu Bai doing here?"

Mu Bai held the package in his hand tighter, fearing that Su Ruanruan would know that he would take such a job.

"I copied the book before, and it's...finished."

Afraid that Su Ruanruan would ask something else, he quickly said, "Ruanruan, wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

When Mu Bai came out with half a tael of silver, he saw that the veil on Su Ruanruan's head had disappeared, and she was standing in front of a small stall making dough figurines in the distance.

With eyes sparkling, he watched the old man busying himself attentively.

Mu Bai walked over quickly and took Su Ruanruan's hand, "Why did you take off your veil?"

Su Ruanruan lowered her head and looked at the two tightly clasped hands. "How dare you hold my hand when so many people are watching? Aren't you afraid that others will gossip about you?"

Mu Bai's eyes were filled with tenderness, "I'm not afraid, I just ask them to stop talking about me and you."

Su Ruanruan scratched his palm and smiled, "With Brother Mu Bai here, I'm not afraid."

In the sunlight, the two stood facing each other, like a perfect couple.

Huo Yan accidentally glanced at it and looked at it for a long time, but felt that the sunlight today was particularly dazzling.

He looked up, then turned and walked into the bookstore.

After an incense stick of time, Huo Yan walked out with a gloomy face.

All I can say is that the toad is wearing frog skin, and the clothes are not fancy but the fun is pretty.

If he knew who wrote the picture book that implicated him, he would be dead. The book had both pictures and text. The man's surname was Huo, and he happened to be tall and mighty, with a scar between his eyebrows.

"Two or Three Things Between the Head Constable and the Widow", "The Hunter Enters the Mountain and Unexpectedly...", and today there is another book "Brother Huo, You Can't Do It"

We arrived late again, and the shopkeeper didn't recognize the person. He only said that it was a girl wearing a veiled hat with a foreign accent.

He really wanted to see who this ignorant woman was.

On the other hand, Mu Bai and Su Ruanruan were unaware that they were being targeted by Huo Yan.

Su Runruan was happily making a dough figurine of her and Mu Bai's portrait in her hands, and pestering Mu Bai to buy her a candied haws.

Mu Bai complied with her requests one by one. After a while, he had several snacks in his hands.

"Childish." Huo Yan turned to leave, but caught a glimpse of Niu Mang and Bai Yun's maid Xiao Yuan coming out of a bun shop. Niu Mang said something that made Xiao Yuan laugh.

Huo Yan retracted his gaze, walked in the opposite direction of Su Ruanruan, and went back to the yamen to find Jin Yu.

Su Ruanruan always felt that in addition to the pointing and talking of others on the road, there were also several sharp eyes falling on her and Mu Bai, but when she looked around to look for them, they were gone.

Mu Bai held her hand tightly to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, Ruanruan, I will always be with you."

……

At noon, the two of them had lunch together, fed Su Ruanruan medicine, and changed the gauze on her wound.

"Brother Mu Bai, please go to the academy. I can handle it at home alone. You must not let me ruin your future."

"But how can I feel at ease when you are alone?"

"It's okay. I'm much better now. The wound on my shoulder looks deep, but it's nothing serious."

"Well, you take a good rest at home and wait for me to come back."

Mu Bai entered the room again, holding a small package, and repeatedly told Su Ruanruan to take good care of herself and not to do any work before leaving.

Watching Mu Bai walk away, Su Ruanruan looked towards the alley behind her and saw a figure quickly shrinking back.

Su Ruanruan half-closed her eyes, picked up her pace and walked over quietly.

"Gu Ji, if you run again, believe it or not, I will never talk to you again!"

The young man in front finally stopped, paused, and then turned around.

When their eyes met, he quickly lost the fight and could only walk towards Su Ruanruan obediently.

"What are you doing in the county?"

"I...I heard that something happened to you, so I was worried so I came to...check it out."

Gu Ji looked Su Ruanruan up and down. He didn't know how badly she was injured, but after a few days, there were still faint bruises on her face.

He took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "This has a very good effect. You can use it."

Su Ruanruan took it, turned around and walked back, "Follow me."
