Hanqiuyuan fell into silence again, with only the faint flickering candlelight in the room, and no one noticed the two people leaving quietly.

Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng almost couldn't stand still when looking at the pile of account books.

There is no doubt that these two were forcibly recruited by Sheng Jingchen.

Pei Dafu smiled kindly (terrifyingly), "The emperor said that he would give you a chance to show your respect to him and find out all the mistakes in these account books."

Wang Cheng bowed and said in fear, "Eunuch Pei, I am not proficient in this art and I am afraid I cannot do this job."

Pei Dafu opened his eyelids and wiped away a handful of fake tears. "Mr. Wang, you are the eldest nephew of the emperor. If you don't share the worries, who will? It doesn't matter if you are not proficient in divination. The emperor just wants to give you a reason to promote you in the future."

Wang Cheng:......

If Xiao Yining were here, he would definitely know this trick. It's called moral kidnapping, and it's quite clever.

Wang Cheng had no choice but to sit at the desk and flip through the account book.

Seeing his old friend lose, Lin Yuzan immediately sighed, "Eunuch Pei, when will the emperor want results? Wang Cheng and I need to study hard during the day and rest at night!"

Pei Dafu said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, the emperor loves you very much. You only need to work for two hours at night. During the day, if you want to pay your respects, the emperor will not stop you. The emperor has given you ten days to work on these account books."

Lin Yuzan: ..., this stinky old man just likes to cheat people, ten days is not enough.

He thought for a while and then said, "If it takes ten days, can I borrow someone from His Majesty?"

"Who?"

"Poor Jin Da." Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng said at the same time.

"Jin, Da, Ke, Lian?" Pei Dafu was stunned. Someone called him by that name.

He smiled and nodded, "Yes, I will report to the Emperor."

After saying that, he walked out, saying, "You two must not squint, otherwise this shadow guard will hang you two on the beam like hanging ducks."

Lin Yuzan and Wang Cheng looked at Shadow Guard 66 at the same time and cursed inwardly: This old man is really insidious and cunning.

next day

When Xiao Yining went to the secret door again to say goodbye to the two elders, he was frightened by the huge dark circles under their eyes.

She asked worriedly, "What happened to Dad and Uncle? Are they hungry all night?"

Lin Yuzan lowered his eyes and looked at her. "No, Qingjie, these few days, Dad and uncle have to prepare for the academy's small exam. If you have something to tell Dad, just write it on a piece of paper and leave it under the door. Dad will read it."

Little Yining was shocked when he heard this. His father, who always turned the page depending on his mood, actually started to study hard.

But it seems like a last-minute effort.

No matter what, little Yining was still very relieved. She walked up to her father and gave him a loving hug.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and Nalan Qingye, covered in mud, was helped in by his classmates.

"Brother Lin and Brother Wang, this morning, Senior Brother Chen from the courtyard next door woke up to find himself hugging Brother Nalan. He was so angry that he beat Brother Nalan up." Zhang Liangchuan explained while wiping his sweat.

Lin Yuzan: ...

Wang Cheng:......

Xiao Yining: Those who wake up early get to eat melons.

"The medical attendant will be here soon. Can you two change Brother Nalan's clothes? He, he has been incontinent and has urinated, and the stench on his body is unbearable." Zhang Liangchuan said again.

Lin Yuzan: This guy is so unlucky.

Wang Cheng: We have to move him out, otherwise the shadow guard will throw him to an unknown place again tonight, and they will be the ones who will be in trouble.

What happened next was not something Xiao Yining could participate in. She reluctantly put the melon down and went to school, and was startled by the scene in the room.

Liu Zhenying raised her eyes and looked at her. "Why are you in a daze? Come and pick your favorite snacks. Don't miss this opportunity. Your sister Manman will not eat snacks from today on."

Little Yining was shocked. She looked at Jin Xingman, whose eyes were still red, and saw her nod slightly and say, "I want to honor my father and give up snacks."

Xiao Yining: ...These are two different things, sister.

Jin Xingman brought a lot of snacks, but they were all delicious without exception. Xiao Yining chose two boxes of candied fruits for the sake of her cute baby teeth, and the other sisters all chose three items. It can be seen that Jin Xingman brought a lot of snacks.

She happily put away the lunch box, and a large shadow fell over her head.

Xiao Yining's heart tightened. "Sisters, what's the matter?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on her, and they said in unison, "Are you our good sister?"

"No." Xiao Yining refused immediately.

Everyone:...

Xiao Yining carried the food box with no desire to live and walked towards the hostess's room. She really didn't want to go, but she had to come under the pressure of the young ladies.

She turned her head and looked behind her. The children, led by Liu Zhenying, waved their handkerchiefs and said, "Don't forget what we taught you, Sister Yining. Don't be afraid."

Several handkerchiefs were flying in the air. Little Yining showed a decadent smile and stepped into the hostess's room amid everyone's expectation.

"Snapped."

Xi Que squatted down in panic, picking up the broken pieces of the bowl. She forced a stiff smile and said, "Why is Miss Lin here? You came to see my daughter."

Xiao Yining looked her up and down, then glanced at the medicine on the ground. An idea flashed through his mind, and he said softly, "I came to see Miss Leng. After all, she has given me food several times."

Magpie: But you never accepted it once, and your relationship with her is very bad.

Xiao Yining didn't care what the maid thought, she still wanted to confront the heroine.

"I brought some yam porridge for Miss Leng, and I warmed it up. Please feed it to her, sister." Xiao Yining pulled over a chair and sat down beside Leng Mengwan's bed.

At this moment, the heroine was like a broken doll, her face flushed with a sickly red, she lay limply on the bed, blood oozing from her back, it was quite horrible.

She watched the person drinking porridge unconsciously, with sweat on her head, so she took out a handkerchief and wiped it for her.

The heroine just looks pitiful, but she doesn't deserve pity at all.

Leng Mengwan's confused eyes swept across Xiao Yining's face. "Who?"

The magpie replied softly, "It's Miss Lin Yining. She's here to see you."
