The shopkeeper thought for a moment and said to the waiter who was about to go upstairs, "Waiter, come here." The waiter came up and said, "Did you hear any movement in the west wing when you went upstairs today?"

The waiter thought about it and shook his head, "I didn't hear anything. It was always quiet."

"Okay!" and went upstairs.

"The shopkeeper didn't find anything, he must have fallen asleep!" After saying that, he knocked on the door again, but no one answered. He became a little anxious and said, "He Ru, He Ru, I'm coming in."

When you push the door open, you don't have to worry about seeing something you shouldn't see. In the middle of winter, you have to wrap yourself tightly in a quilt, but you don't have to worry.

Even though Qiao Mu was prepared, he was still a little surprised. "Gone! That's right, he'll leave sooner or later."

Mr. Mu was surprised. "Don't you want to keep her?"

It was rare to see Mr. Mu showing any emotion other than indifference, so Qiao Mu was no longer lonely. "I want to keep her here! But if she doesn't want to, what can I do? It's just a pity."

Mr. Mu saw that the regret in Qiao Mu's eyes was about to overflow, so he just glanced at him and turned his head away because he felt a little guilty.

Mr. Mu, looking away, naturally didn't see Qiao Mu's eyes, which were filled with more joy than regret. He was both envious and wary of Mr. Mu's devotion to He Ru these days. He wanted He Ru to work for Beirong, but he was also afraid that her presence would always attract Mr. Mu's attention.

Qionglou was not like them. He was observing and could see that they left through the window. In addition, he also smelled a strong scent of Mr. Mu, but he just thought that he had stood next to Mr. Mu for too long and didn't think much about it.

After finding a purse on the bed, he showed it to the two of them.

When they opened the purse and saw the small change, they felt complicated but ultimately said nothing.

"Let's go! Now."

He Ru was taken to another inn by Qi Changyun. He Ru said that she knew the inn very well.

Just after putting He Ru on the bed, "Fu Ning, come and take a look." Niuma Fu Ning put down the package and checked He Ru's injuries.

He untied the gauze on her hands and face and said, "She's recovering well. She'll be fine in five or six days. But her hands won't be the same as before. Although the swelling on her face isn't serious, the broken skin will leave scars." He observed He Ru cautiously. Appearance is very important to a woman, and he was afraid that she might become depressed.

Qi Changyun also comforted him, "Don't think too much, appearance can't represent everything."

Seeing that they were so clueless, He Ru thought that he had some terminal illness and was about to die. "I know."

She really doesn't care. Face is not that important. She has many ways to become beautiful. Beauty from the inside out is what she pursues, and the rest is left to her temperament.

The two looked left and right, and both felt that He Ru did not seem to be removing the gauze from his feet after saying one thing and thinking another.

It was really scary to see that the swollen feet were covered with wounds of various sizes. Only by looking carefully could one find a few pieces of good skin. Now the wounds were almost dry and no fluid was coming out.

This situation made Fu Ning feel much more at ease: "The person taking care of you is very attentive. This is very good. As long as the water stops leaking, the probability of causing fever will be reduced. Who is the person taking care of you? He is really teachable and can help me."

He Ru was embarrassed because she didn't know who it was!

I had to answer truthfully, “I, I don’t know!”

Fu Ning's jaw dropped. "What? What are you talking about? You don't know?"

He Ru was even more embarrassed. "Well, I just woke up this morning."

Qi Changyun on the side spoke up: "I can testify that she did wake up this morning. I went there several times before and she was always asleep, but I should know who is taking care of you." He said this to Fu Ning and then to He Ru.

"Who?"

"who is it?"

"Mu Chenggui is back, but I only saw him when I went there. Other times, I once saw a maidservant taking care of you."

Fu Ning stopped talking, so let it go.

He Ru was puzzled: "Mu Chenggui is... is Mr. Mu?" He Ru was so shocked that even the tone of his voice rose several degrees.

Qi Changyun explained, "Yes, his real name is Mu Chenggui. He is an aide to the Ninth Prince of Beirong, Qiao Zhong, also known as Qiao Mu."

"Oh, I see." He said nothing more.

Fu Ning said, "I'll go get the medicine."

Only He Ru and Qi Changyun were left. Seeing that He Ru didn't seem to want to speak, Qi Changyun also stood up and said goodbye.

Silence settled in, and He Ru pondered over Mr. Mu's intentions. Did he like her? Impossible. How could he not give her the feeling of a romantic relationship? Instead, he felt more like He Yufeng for He Lan, like a brother for his sister.

Brother? He Ru didn’t have any brother. After much thought, He Ru finally realized where she was going with her brother.

The original owner’s brother—He Yuye.

This explanation was correct, and it matched all his actions. Mu Chenggui, Mu Chenggui—He, Gui. Yes, it must be He Yuye.

He Ru felt that she had discovered the truth and couldn't help but feel excited. The original owner would be happy to know that He Yuye was not dead.

He Ru was also a little scared. According to her observation, He Yuye was a careful person. Would he find out that he was not the same He Ru?

This anxiety continued until I heard from Qi Changyun that Qiao Mu, oh no, it should be Qiao Zhong and others who returned to Beirong, and then I calmed down. Of course, that was all later.

He Ru finally remembered, and when Fu Ning came to see her again, "Fu Ning, can you ask Qi Changyun to help me send a letter to my family?"

"I'll ask for you." After saying that, he walked away in a haughty manner...right!

"and many more!"

Fu Ning turned around and looked inquiringly.

"Have you seen He Lan before when you were in our team?"

"Yes, the wound on her neck looks big, but it's not deep. It will heal with some rest. I haven't heard her complain about you. Maybe I wasn't there when she said that."

She was quite normal at first, but why did her mouth get worse towards the end? But what else could she say? She couldn't say anything. She was still unfamiliar with the topic and just had to bear with it.

"Thank you." I didn't want to say anything more. I used the way I spoke sparingly to express my speechlessness, even though he definitely didn't know it.

The next time Fu Ning came to see He Ru, he brought Qi Changyun's message: since the letter cannot be sent now, you can use their carrier pigeons. He hopes He Ru can keep his words short.

He also thoughtfully brought paper and pen.

She lay there for another five or six days, writing about modern times and her reflections on her time here. She also asked Fu Ning to bring her some books.

It wasn't boring, I just stayed in the room the whole time and just when I felt like I was going to molder, I was finally told I could get out of bed and leave.

Excited, excited.

Qi Changyun, who had disappeared for a few days, finally showed up. He brought a gift box with him. "Open it and take a look?"

He Ru: "Thank you."

He Ru didn't want to accept it, but it would make her seem pretentious and self-righteous. Someone helped you, and you only said thank you, but then you didn't accept the gift, as if you were disgusted. At least now you can be sure they mean well, so it's good to provide them with some emotional value!
