Siheyuan came through and sent Jia Zhang to prison

After hearing this, He Feng's smile grew even gentler. He said, "Well, from now on, everyone should live a good life. Life will definitely get better and better. Yu Shui, you should also help clean up, so that no irrelevant people will come over and disturb our fun later."

When He Yushui heard her uncle mention her, although she was still very angry, but seeing her uncle's affectionate eyes, she could only nod reluctantly and said, "I understand." There was a hint of reluctance in her tone.

He Feng saw this and said nothing more. He and Ma Xin then stood up and said goodbye. After all, it was already quite late. Although He Feng knew Ma Ran had already gone, the world was not entirely peaceful, and no one could predict whether other dangers might exist. He was uneasy about letting Ma Xin go back alone, and he had to personally escort her to feel at ease.

He Feng and Ma Xin walked out of the room, and the cool night breeze gently swept past, taking away some of the hustle and bustle within. He Feng looked at Ma Xin, his eyes filled with concern. The two walked side by side, their figures gradually disappearing in the moonlight... Inside, He Yuzhu, Qin Jingru, and He Yushui began to clear the table. The night in the courtyard, in this seemingly ordinary yet fraught atmosphere, slowly continued...

After He Feng and Ma Xin left after a pleasant conversation, Qin Jingru looked at He Yuzhu thoughtfully, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and asked, "Brother Zhuzi, did you notice anything special?"

At this moment, He Yuzhu was immersed in a comfortable state of tipsiness. Hearing Qin Jingru's words, he turned his head slightly, looked at her with a bit of drunkenness, and said, "What's wrong? Did you see any clues?"

Qin Jingru smiled gently, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes, and said, "I think Uncle seems to have fallen in love with this expert Ma Xin. Look at their conversation tonight, the look in their eyes and the demeanor were extraordinary."

He Yuzhu laughed and nodded after hearing this, saying, "Actually, this is quite good. Uncle is the director of the Public Security Bureau, and Ma Xin is an expert. Whether in terms of status or knowledge and cultivation, the two are very well matched. It can be said that they are well matched."

He Yushui, who was standing by, overheard their conversation and felt a sharp blow to her heart. She felt incredibly uncomfortable. But she couldn't show it. After all, how could she possibly say such a thing? Was she supposed to tell He Yuzhu that she also liked He Feng? That would surely scare He Yuzhu half to death.

He Yushui suppressed the bitterness in his heart. Seeing that the house was almost cleaned up, he pretended to be calm and looked at He Yuzhu and Qin Jingru, and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'll go back first. You should go to bed early too." After that, he turned around and left in a hurry without waiting for their response.

He Yuzhu looked at He Yushui's departing back, feeling somewhat puzzled. He turned to Qin Jingru and said, "What happened to Yushui? I feel like she's a little off today. She doesn't seem very happy."

Qin Jingru didn't think too much about it. She patted He Yuzhu's arm and said, "Brother Zhuzi, you don't understand. There are some things that only we girls can understand. Maybe she encountered some troubles today, and it will be fine in a couple of days."

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, He Yuzhu didn't think any more about it. He looked at Qin Jingru affectionately and said with emotion: "Qin Jingru, you are really my lucky star. Since you came to the courtyard, my life has been getting better and better. I used to think that I could just make do on my own, but I didn't expect that you came and made me feel like I was at home. We must live a good life in the future."

Qin Jingru looked at He Yuzhu, thinking of the hard days in the countryside. She felt a surge of emotion in her heart, nodded vigorously, and said, "Brother Zhuzi, I understand. From now on, let's just live our own lives and not meddle in other people's affairs. Those outsiders' affairs have nothing to do with us. As long as we support each other, we will definitely be able to live a prosperous life."

Meanwhile, He Feng had already sent Ma Xin downstairs. He Feng looked at Ma Xin with gratitude and said, "Ma Xin, thank you so much for coming today. If it weren't for you, this party tonight would have been much less fun."

Ma Xin smiled gently and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? You're one of my few friends. It's so late, why don't you go upstairs and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

He Feng shook his head slightly, with a gentle and firm expression on his face, and said slowly: "Forget it, we can meet tomorrow anyway. And you see, it's really late now. It's always a bit inconvenient for a man and a woman to be alone in the same room. I'll go back first, and you should rest early too." After speaking, he smiled politely, turned around and walked towards the door.

Ma Xin watched He Feng's receding figure, her lips curling up slightly as she murmured, "I never thought he was so young, yet his thoughts were still so old-fashioned." She sighed softly, her gaze drifting off into the distance, her thoughts drifting to Ma Ran. She was consumed with worry, wondering how Ma Ran was doing, whether he had arrived safely. Although she knew what Ma Ran was doing was wrong, blood was thicker than water; Ma Ran was family, after all, and she couldn't help but be concerned.

As the days passed, He Feng and Ma Xin grew closer. They chatted, took walks, and shared life's joys and sorrows, their hearts seemingly drawn closer. Yet, there always seemed to be a thin, almost invisible barrier between them, a barrier so close yet neither willing to break it.

That day, He Feng returned home after a busy day. As soon as he entered the house, he heard the sound of a radio program playing in the living room. He looked up and saw He Yushui sitting on the sofa, listening to the radio attentively, with a relaxed smile on her face. He Feng was slightly stunned and asked, "Yushui, why didn't you go to school?"

He Yushui heard the voice, turned around, looked at He Feng with a smile and said, "Uncle, our school is undergoing renovations, so we have two days off. I just happened to have nothing to do, so I came here to listen to the radio."

He Feng nodded slightly, a concerned smile on his face, and said, "You are about to take the exam, so you can't just play around all day. You still have to focus on studying. Tell me honestly, how long have you been listening?"

He Yushui stuck out his tongue playfully and said with a smile, "I've just started listening, uncle, just let me finish listening to this part, it's really interesting."
