Late at night, she tossed and turned in bed, her heart full of worry, because Ye Hai was her only relative in this world.

Suddenly she heard a slight knock on the door.

She thought she had misheard, so she held her breath and listened carefully. Yes, someone was knocking on the door, and it was knocking three times and briefly.

Ye Lian'er excitedly rushed to the door from the bed. She lay barefoot on the door and listened carefully.

There was no sound outside again, and she remained in that position, waiting for the knock on the door to come again.

When the knock on the door sounded again, Ye Lian'er opened the door and rushed out...

When Ye Hai came in, Ye Lian'er quickly closed the door and pulled Ye Hai into the house.

Not far from the house where Ye Lian'er was temporarily staying, Old Lady Ye was squatting in the corner. Not to mention that she was trying to hide. Her dark appearance blended perfectly with the darkness, and it was extremely difficult to recognize that the group was a person.

"Brother, you finally showed up. I was worried to death."

"I'm fine, but it's a pity that they are fine too."

Ye Hai's face was full of hatred. On the day of Lu Jingxun's wedding, he poisoned the person and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect to be caught by Lu Jinghui, who hid him in his own residence.

Although he didn't know what Lu Jinghui was planning, being so close to his enemy gave him more opportunities to take action.

Unfortunately, having many opportunities does not mean you will succeed.

He lurked for a long time before he had the chance to catch the lone Zi Yuan. Unexpectedly, the girl was lucky enough to survive.

"Don't be afraid, as long as my brother is still alive, we will have a chance to take revenge."

Seeing that Ye Hairen was fine, Ye Lian'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. To her, revenge was far less important than her brother's life.

"But I haven't gained nothing."

"Brother, have you eaten yet? Let me get you something to eat first."

Ye Lian'er only cared about whether her brother was hungry or not, and didn't care at all whether Ye Hai had discovered the key to revenge.

Ye Hai shook his head: "Don't eat yet, listen to me."

Ye Hai pulled Ye Lian'er over and asked her to sit next to him.

"Lian'er, tell me what you have discovered."

Ye Lian'er didn't dare to look into Ye Hai's eyes. She was so worried to death during the time Ye Hai was away that she had no time to investigate the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

"You didn't find anything?" Ye Hai widened his eyes in displeasure.

Ye Lian'er pursed her lips and managed to hold back a sentence: "The wife of the Marquisate and the second wife Li Zhen'er are not on good terms. They both want their son to be the young Marquis..."

"Do you need me to tell you this? Who doesn't know Anjing?"

Ye Lian'er lowered her head: "Brother, I'm just too worried about you."

"Why should I worry? Look, I'm fine."

"I feel relieved to see you back, brother. I'll go check tomorrow."

"Lian'er, you weren't like this before. You used to be so smart, but now you are so timid and submissive, without any opinions of your own."

Ye Lian'er twisted her fingers helplessly. She didn't know why she became like this. She only knew that she didn't want anything to happen to her brother.

She only has her brother now...

Seeing Ye Lian'er like this, Ye Hai waved his hands irritably: "Forget it, go get me something to eat."

Hou Mansion

Listen to Bamboo Garden

Yu Xiuying drove Lu Jingxun away. She came to Ziyuan's bed alone. Looking at the sleeping Ziyuan, she seemed depressed.

Before coming here, she had thought about the many problems she would encounter, but as long as the family could be together, it didn't matter if they encountered setbacks.

After being here for so long, have you ever experienced any setbacks?

Have.

What made people even more upset was the attitude of the people in the Marquis' Mansion towards them and their daughter.

The sneers in the servants' eyes, the disregard from the Lu family...

Everyone looked superior, even the servants held their heads high in front of them.

It's not that she looked down on the servants, but that the servants looked down on her and her daughter.

And today, the real owner of the Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis, didn't even glance at them.

She stood there, feeling ridiculous.

Her so-called backbone is a joke in the eyes of others, because others don't care about her at all.

In another room, Lu Shian was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep.

The fact that Ye Hai was hiding with Lu Jinghui showed that the two of them had been colluding with each other for a long time. Ye Hai had always believed that it was she who killed his family, and now he was afraid that the blame would be put on Lu Jingxun.

After all, compared to Lu Shian, Lu Jingxun had more reason to kill them.

There is no doubt that Ye Hai was the one who poisoned the couple on the wedding day.

But so much time has passed since this incident, and the Dali Temple has not yet found out the truth.

In theory, this matter is easy to investigate, and the people from the Dali Temple should be able to find it out easily, but there has been no movement for such a long time, which inevitably makes people suspect that there is something else involved.

And there is that bastard Lu Jinghui, the worst kind of person. Although I haven't seen him much since I entered the mansion, this guy is doing trouble behind the scenes and wants to kill Ziyuan.

She could never let him go so easily.

The next day, Lu Shian got up early. Without even washing up, she ran to see Ziyuan.

Ziyuan was awake by now, and Yu Xiuying was dressing her. When she saw her second sister coming, the little girl opened her arms and asked for a hug.

Lu Shian reached out and picked up the little girl: "Oh, our little fat girl, my second sister can hardly hold her anymore."

Zi Yuan pinched Lu Shian's mouth with her chubby little hands.

Yu Xiuying covered her mouth and laughed: "Our Ziyuan also knows that she is beautiful, so don't let the second sister say it."

Lu Shian pulled her hand away: "Second sister, don't say anything. Why is our Ziyuan so cute? Whose sister is this? Hey, this is Second sister's younger sister..."

After playing with Ziyuan for a while, Yu Xiuying asked Lu Shian to go wash up.

"Look at you, go wash up."

Lu Shian handed Ziyuan to Yu Xiuying, turned around to wash up, and saw Lu Jingxun reading.

When Lu Jingxun was not on duty, he would spend the whole day reading. Lu Shian had seen his handwriting. Although it was not very good, it was obvious that he worked very hard.

After all, I couldn’t read a single word before.

Her cheap father is still very hardworking and ambitious.

She returned to the room and closed the door, then turned around and saw Shen Cuo sitting inside. She seemed to have gotten used to Shen Cuo's mysterious appearances, so she just rolled her eyes at him and went about her own business.

She picked up the comb and combed her hair twice. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she turned around and started to fire at Shen Cuo.

"Can you please be more careful? Don't you know that it's forbidden for men and women to touch each other? If you keep showing up in my room like this, what if someone sees you? Do you still want to keep my innocence?"

Shen Cuo didn't say anything, but picked up a glass of water and drank it.

"Besides, this is the Marquis' Mansion. Be careful or they might mistake you for an assassin."

"What does ga le mean?"

"Just to kill you!"

"Don't worry, I don't care about them."

Lu Shian stood up from the bronze mirror and ran to Shen Cuo: "Tell me, why did you suddenly appear this time?"
