Every time she returned home from the 13th floor of Qingyi, Ruan Shuhui would praise Wen Xiangzhu for all his good qualities and smile every day, especially these few days, when she was the happiest.

Ruan Huaide was surprised by the crying and grievance tonight.

Ruan Shuhui continued to cry falsely, squeezing out a few more tears that hung on her delicate face. While she was talking, she looked at him furtively with the corner of her eyes, "Dad, how can I express my feelings directly? These should have come from Master Ye. Today is the Shangsi Festival, and he clearly agreed to go out with me. We went out of town for an outing during the day and had a lot of fun. Who knew we would meet that girl? They did it on purpose!"

Speaking of sadness, Ruan Shuhui wiped the tears from her face, and her tone became heavier. "I went to a date tonight. I was having fun, but that girl showed up again, and brought a gangster with her. They looked fierce. They framed Mr. Ye and tampered with the red string on the peach tree, taking away my marriage with Mr. Ye! Dad, you must make the decision for your daughter!"

After she finished speaking, she pulled Ruan Huaide and called him "Daddy" all the time, looking at her with grievance. Ruan Huaide looked at her lovingly and patted her hand.

"Hui'er, don't be anxious. If you and Ye Hanshan are destined to be together, then you will get along in some time. There is no need to rush right now. Tomorrow I will ask someone to check their identities and see where they come from." Ruan Huaide comforted the two women for a long time but did not say how to punish them. He just comforted his daughter and said he had his own considerations.

A few days ago, he received a letter from Kyoto that the Prime Minister's daughter Song Qinghong was recuperating in Ningyuan City for a period of time and would leave tomorrow. He was a little worried that the woman Ruan Shuhui met tonight was Song Qinghong. He secretly visited Song Qinghong and found her to be a symbol of beauty. It was not an exaggeration to describe her as being well-read and elegant.

He had also seen Ye Hanshan. He had a good appearance and talent, but he had not met the woman he liked yet. If he left Ruan Shuhui tonight and went out with Song Qinghong, it would be very likely.

Ruan Shuhui had no idea what was in his father's mind. He just wanted to resolve all these issues tonight. He didn't want to see any of them again. He kept asking, "Dad, do we have to wait until tomorrow? It's still early tonight, and there's still..."

"Dad, I will take people to investigate tomorrow. You can rest first." Ruan Shuming stepped forward to interrupt what Ruan Shuhui was about to say. Seeing that she was about to continue speaking, he immediately gave her a look, and Ruan Shuhui calmed down.

His sister is good in every way except that she is too infatuated, to the point of losing her mind and being loyal to the man she likes. What's so good about Ye Hanshan? There are so many good men in the world, but she has to hang herself on a tree.

Seeing that his silly sister was about to say that she would kill the two girls, he, as her brother, had to step in quickly to stop her from talking.

"Okay." Ruan Huaide glanced at his son, then looked at his daughter distressedly, "Don't be sad, there might be some misunderstanding. Ye Hanshan might come to see you tomorrow."

Ruan Huaide felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something big was going to happen. He had been busy with official duties recently, and Ruan Shuhui was just troubled by love, so it was not a big deal, so he left with peace of mind.

After he left, Ruan Shuhui raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face. Seeing the rouge and powder falling on her hands, she felt a little distressed and said to Ruan Shuming coquettishly, "Brother, why didn't you let me tell you? Wouldn't it be better to have Daddy's support?"

In the past, there were a few short-sighted people who made her unhappy, and she always did this. Ruan Huaide would also find someone to resolve the issue privately, and this time would be no different.

Ruan Shuming shook his head and said helplessly: "You think too simply. There are some things I can't tell you, but you have to believe me. As long as you say it, I will do it. But remember not to let father know about this action. You must remember it."

Ruan Shuhui pouted, not happy that they were hiding something from her, and walked away, "You and Dad are hiding something from me, you don't love me anymore, I'm going to find Mom!"

"Hui'er, I'm not telling you for your own good. Some things are best left unseen by you. Mother has gone to bed, so don't disturb her. Just have a good rest tonight. You'll hear good news when you wake up tomorrow." Ruan Shuming followed closely and whispered.

Ruan Shuhui didn't look back or respond, and just walked away.

Ruan Shuming was the only one left in the hall. No one saw the smile on his face fade away. There was only a cold look in his eyes.

At midnight, Ruan Shuming changed into night clothes and left the City Lord's Mansion, heading out of the city. He came to a barren mountain, where wild grass taller than a person was everywhere. He walked towards a certain place with ease and blew a whistle.

There was a slight movement in the weeds in front of me. Someone was pushing away the weeds from the inside. After the weeds outside were pushed aside, a hole gradually appeared.

Ruan Shuming walked in slowly. The entrance of the cave was narrow at first, but then became wider and deeper, and it was full of traces of human life.

In the middle of the cave, there was a large square table filled with wine and meat. A bearded man was biting a greasy roast goose leg. When he saw that the person who came was an acquaintance, he waved his hand and asked the servants around him to leave, leaving only a few trusted confidants who knew the situation.

He spoke incoherently, "Sir, at this hour... uh, why are you here at this hour?"

If he hadn't had something to do, he wouldn't have come here unless it was absolutely necessary. He got straight to the point and said, "Boss Ke, I have a big order. Get a team of people to follow me into the city tonight and kill two girls."

Boss Ke is a bandit leader, not an ordinary bandit, but a bandit leader kept by Ningyuan City. Whenever Ningyuan City needs him, he needs to bring people to make trouble nearby and let the officers and soldiers of Ningyuan City capture a few people to die. He can get a lot of silver and money, which is more comfortable than living in the city.

The person who raised him was Ruan Shuming. Of course, he didn't know Ruan Shuming's identity and just thought he was a government official.

"Go into the city? No, there are only a few of us. If we take a team with us, wouldn't that be a waste of life?" Boss Ke smiled, but his eyes were not friendly.

Over the years, he has collected a lot of evidence of cooperation with the government and wants to break free from the government's control. He has his own ambitions.

Ruan Shuming saw the look in his eyes clearly. He had given him too much, which led to him becoming such a ruthless person. There was no point in keeping him around, but on the surface he still maintained his usual expression.

"It's all arranged. You go in from the west gate. There are no guards there. Kill all the people staying at the Fulai Inn. You can take all the money inside. Be quick! This money is a deposit. I'll give you the other half after the job is done." Ruan Shuming threw a bag of money on the greasy table. "If you don't want to go, I can find someone else."

This time the offer was really a lot, and Boss Ke was blinded by the money. He figured he still had a way out and they wouldn't kill him, so he agreed immediately.

Ruan Shuming sneered as he turned and left, his eyes darkened and became mysterious, thinking that he would find a chance to kill all these people and not let them live.
