Ru Yue Shu Yun Feng Wen Wan

It is poverty that limits my imagination. No, we are not poor in modern times!

He Ru pulled out two ten-liang gold bars and a ten-liang silver ingot. "That's enough, thank you!" She fumbled around her body and finally remembered what to use as collateral. She pulled out a round jade pendant that had been hanging around her neck, strung with a red string, and took it off. She took Qi Changyun's hand and placed it in his. "This is collateral. It's very important to me. I will get it back. Please keep it safe for me."

Qi Changyun: ...

He Ru didn't stop yet, and grabbed Qi Changyun, who was about to curl up, and said in his palm: "This is the reward for asking someone to help me find someone. Thank you. After you find Yuye, please send someone to tell me. Thank you. I'm leaving now."

Just as he was about to push the door open, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and even leaned closer to Qi Changyun, and whispered, "Put the box back quickly, I'll go downstairs. Hurry, I'm in a hurry."

But the sudden approach, coupled with He Ru's drunken breath spraying on Qi Changyun's face, made him feel drunk.

Seeing that he didn't respond, He Ru decided to do it herself. She closed the lid, placed the two gold bars on the seat, and then held the box with both hands, passing Qi Changyun and placing it on the inner wall. However, because it was quite far away, she sat forward again, but still couldn't put it in, so she had to bend over.

Qi Changyun's legs were bothering He Ru, so she pushed them aside. This push woke Qi Changyun up, and he wanted to take the box and put it back. So he reached out to take the box, but instead of touching the box, he touched He Ru's hand. He Ru had already put it away and was about to close the small door on the inner wall. When he reached back, his hand touched Qi Changyun's hand.

He Ru didn't feel anything and continued to move, but Qi Changyun's hand was still raised in the air. With a quick movement, she covered it up. Seeing Qi Changyun's hand in the air, she realized that she had kindly helped him put his hand back on his leg. Then she found that his leg had been pushed aside by her. She moved his leg back with a guilty conscience, so that he could put his hand on his leg. As if she had tidied up the messy table, she put her hand on Qi Changyun's hand and patted it. This was her habitual action every time she tidied up the table.

Seeing that everything was restored, He Ru picked up the gold bar and said, "I'm leaving. Remember to help me find someone. Remember, remember."

Open the door and go down.

The moment the door opened, a cold breeze rushed in, blowing away the alcoholic odor from the car. Qi Changyun was finally sober. He asked An Yun to take someone to find Yuye, his hand still on his lap, and asked An Ying to help him close the door.

When the door was closed, what he didn't see was Murong Qingyan's inquiring and unwilling look.

After a long pause, he raised his hand to look at the jade pendant that He Ru had pledged. It was a round jade pendant with a flower and bird pattern, and He Ru's name was engraved on the back. His mood seemed to brighten. He looked at the jade pendant again and again, and rubbed it. The jade pendant was very warm, as if it still had He Ru's warmth.

Every young member of the He family is born with a jade pendant. Although it is not expensive, it is a symbol of the He family's status.

In fact, Qi Changyun had also been in the Huang Mansion before.

County Magistrate Huang returned home from the yamen and brought Qi Changyun home as a guest. When he arrived home, he found out that his wife was going to hold a banquet, so he did not disturb them and also welcomed Hua Qingyan.

Three people, drinking tea and chatting.

Hua Qingyan was dressed in green, looking like a handsome young man, unrivaled in the world. Indeed, with his sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and thin lips, he looked like an ancient hegemon. "Master Qi, have we met somewhere before?"

He often visited the capital, so it was inevitable that he had seen Qi Changyun.

Qi Changyun's smile did not reach his eyes: "Young Master Hua is right, you have been in the capital, maybe you have seen me." He lowered his eyes, but there was already a storm in his eyes.

County Magistrate Huang chimed in, "Right! Not surprising."

We talked back and forth like this.

Until a servant came in from outside the door: "Master, the lady wants you to go home."

Although Hua Qingyan was somewhat dissatisfied with not noticing her sister, she didn't say much. She turned around, bowed to Qi Changyun and the other man, and left with the servant.

Qi Changyun was alright, so he stood up and said goodbye to County Magistrate Huang, then left with Hua Qingyan one after the other. Hua Qingyan took Xiao Xiaole, who was being supported by someone, and picked her up, even rubbing her face against hers. When she found nothing unusual, she looked up and strode towards the carriage at the door.

Qi Changyun hesitated to move forward, waiting until they were on the carriage before taking a step forward. But when he glanced inside, it was He Ru? He wasn't sure if it was really He Ru. He only saw He Ru's profile. Perhaps because clothes make the man, the purple dress accentuated her fair complexion and beauty, making her look fresh and refined, aloof and aloof. He simply felt that she was dazzling.

He looked for a long time before walking out. He got on the carriage but did not leave.

Murong Qingyan, who was standing beside the carriage, finally waited for Qi Changyun to come back.

Just as she was expecting this, she heard Qi Changyun's voice: "Qingyan, come in! An Ying, An Yun, keep an eye on the surroundings."

Murong Qingyan gave An Ying a smug smile. An Ying ignored her and turned his head away.

She sat down as soon as she got into the carriage. Qi Changyun didn't care about her rudeness, he just wanted to find something to do to kill time.

Playing with the teacup in his hand, he said, "You just told me about meeting County Magistrate Huang. What kind of person is County Magistrate Huang in your opinion?"

Murong Qingyan: "He is just a fence-sitter with no opinion of his own." Qi Changyun nodded.

"However, he's simply incapable of the responsibility and wants to push all the trouble onto others. In short, he's just a lazy guy. What he does depends on which side is stronger. That shouldn't be used to deny his ability. To be chosen as the county magistrate, he must have some strength. But what's his relationship with that Young Master Hua?"

Qi Changyun didn't expect Murong Qingyan to be so objective. "Young Master Hua is County Magistrate Huang's elder brother-in-law. The County Magistrate's wife, Hua Jin, and Hua Qingyan are full siblings. They also have a younger sister, Hua Zhi. Young Master Hua's wife is the eldest daughter of the current Minister of Revenue."

"It seems like County Magistrate Huang has some pretty powerful backers. No wonder he's so slacking off. If they refuse to cooperate with the refugee resettlement, I'm afraid they'll be able to cover up the situation. If they try to use the refugees to cause trouble, you'll be in danger."

"I hope Lord Qi will make preparations early!" After saying this, he looked at Qi Changyun vaguely, the temptation in his eyes was not completely hidden.

Seeing that Qi Changyun was calm and composed, he secretly felt relieved. It seemed that he would not be defeated so soon.

She knew Qi Changyun was the young emperor's man, but she wasn't optimistic about the young emperor's weakness. How could a young man like him possibly defeat the old foxes in the court? She was simply biding her time, waiting to see how Qi Changyun performed. If he didn't perform well, it would be the first stepping stone on Murong Qingyan's road to success. She wanted to be above everyone else, never limiting herself to anyone else, and she would give everything for that.

Qi Changyun now knew that this person might not be so loyal. This kind of person must either work for him or die, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
