The younger sister-in-law falsely accused the sickly uncle and ran away with the baby

Wen Mo sighed and shook his head, "Your Excellency! There's still no news. I've sent many people over under the guise of buying a wife and picking up the goods, but we still haven't found the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Crown Prince. We only know that they've been bought, but we haven't found out who the buyer is."

Meng Chen's face was filled with sorrow. "Alas! The Zhenguo family has been loyal to the country and the people for so many years, but to end up with their family destroyed and their lives destroyed, how can one not be heartbroken?"

Wen Mo's face was also filled with sadness. "Yes! Everyone in the court is worried about their own safety. No one wants to become the second Protector of the Nation General or the Duke of Zhenguo!"

Meng Chen turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes without leaving a trace. "Go! Don't stay here too long. If that mad dog surnamed Zhao sees us, you and I will end up with our families destroyed."

Wen Mo nodded and hurriedly took the carriage back to Tianfulou.

Boom boom boom!

Qin Haowen, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes as sharp as a knife, and looked towards the door.

The knocking on the door continued. She quickly looked at Yu Ruyue who was sleeping soundly in the bed, walked quickly to the door, opened it, and looked at Wen Mo with a cold expression. The intimidating look scared Wen Mo so much that he forgot to speak.

Qin Haowen walked out, carefully closed the door, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Wen Mo came back to his senses and swallowed nervously, "Well, I'll talk to Miss Yu about the noodles."

Qin Haowen said indifferently, "What's the matter with her sleeping? Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying that, Qin Haowen walked in and closed the door.

Wen Mo was a little stunned looking at the closed door in front of him.

No, they are the ones begging to sell things to me, why should I be afraid?

However, the man's aura was too strong, like a general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, as if he could chop off his head in the next second.

Wen Mo suddenly remembered the portrait of the Duke of Zhenguo, who seemed to bear a 70% resemblance to the man in front of him...

But the prince was bought home to be a slave, so how could he appear here?

He shook his head helplessly, feeling like he was going crazy looking for someone. How could a farmer's son be compared with the dignified prince of the Duke of Zhenguo?

Inside the room, Qin Haowen looked at the girl lying sprawled on the bed, shook his head and sighed. He walked over in two or three steps and pulled Yu Ruyue's dress down to cover her pair of straight, white legs.

As a result, as soon as the quilt was covered, Yu Ruyue frowned, kicked her legs twice, and kicked the quilt directly underneath, revealing her white and delicate feet. She even felt unsatisfied and lifted her skirt up in a daze.

Qin Haowen quickly turned around, but the image of those long, slender legs remained imprinted in his mind, unable to be shaken off. For the first time, he felt that having good night vision was also a form of torture...

Qin Haowen's throat rolled and he gently tugged at his collar to relieve the heat in his heart!

There were so many noble ladies in the capital who were courting him, and they had tried every trick in the book, but he had never been so unbearable. What happened today? Was it because the weather was too hot?

hmm~

That must be it!

Since it’s so hot, should we just ignore it?

But I am a slave bought by someone else, what should I do if I catch a cold at night! ?

Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned around. He tried hard to control himself and not let his eyes see things he shouldn't see. Then he quickly picked up the quilt at his feet and gently covered Yu Ruyue with it.

After doing all this, his forehead was covered in sweat and his heart was pounding uncontrollably. His mind kept lingering on Yu Ruyue's peaceful sleeping face, her well-proportioned, slender, and tender legs that seemed to be able to squeeze out water, and the fullness that rose and fell with her breathing...

Qin Haowen felt his blood boiling and his heart beating faster and faster. He quickly opened the door and walked out, then stood quietly at the door, letting the wind outside blow away the dryness on his face.

The next day, warm light shone on Yu Ruyue's face. Before she opened her eyes, she stretched lazily!

She was about to call her mother when she suddenly sat up in bed, "Oh no! How did I sleep for so long?"

Yu Ruyue quickly stood up, straightened her clothes, put on her shoes and was about to run out. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Qin Haowen standing outside like a tree stump.

"Ah! Qin Haowen! What are you doing here? You scared me!"

Qin Haowen looked at Yu Ruyue, who was half asleep and had her collar slightly open. He felt the restlessness he had suppressed with great difficulty during the night rising up again. He turned his head and coughed unnaturally, "Cough, to protect you!"

Yu Ruyue looked at the dark circles under his eyes and asked in surprise, "Don't tell me you were standing here all night without sleeping?"

Qin Haowen didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Yu Ruyue was touched. "Actually, you don't have to be like this. Whether it's you, Lotus, or Heye, I truly treat you all as family. So please don't torture yourself like this in the future. If you're really worried about me, we can sleep in the same room. You can sleep on the floor, or on the low couch next to you!"

Qin Haowen nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

Yu Ruyue felt sorry for Qin Haowen. She took Qin Haowen's arm, walked into the house, and pushed him onto the bed. "You have a good rest. I'll go downstairs and get some food!"

Yu Ruyue had just taken two steps outside when Qin Haowen sat up from the bed.

Yu Ruyue hurried back and pressed it back again.

"Be obedient! Otherwise I won't bring you out next time."

Qin Haowen looked at the extremely serious expression on the girl's face and finally lay down.

After the door was closed tightly, he slowly closed his eyes. Although he hadn't slept all night, he didn't feel sleepy at all while lying in bed. He felt surrounded by Yu Ruyue's breath. The faint fragrance kept lingering at the tip of his nose, and the hot feeling from last night surged into his heart again.

He then realized that this bed was where she slept yesterday...

After Yu Ruyue went downstairs, she first got some water and washed up quickly. Then she asked the waiter and learned that Wen Mo might not come until the afternoon. She then took two bowls of wontons and went upstairs. "Qin Haowen! Are you asleep? Let's have a bowl of wontons together before going to sleep."

Qin Haowen, who was already feeling hot all over, quickly sat up from the bed when he heard the voice, walked quickly to the door, opened it and took the wontons.

Yu Ruyue looked at his face with some confusion, "Why is your face so red? Did you catch a cold from the cool breeze outside last night?"

Yu Ruyue raised her hand and touched Qin Haowen's forehead as he stared at her in shock. "Huh? Your forehead isn't hot, so why is your face so red?"

Qin Haowen's heart began to beat uncontrollably again, but soon the scene of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which was like hell on earth, appeared in his mind.

Qin Haowen's restless heart calmed down instantly, and his eyes returned to their previous coldness. "Miss Yu, I'm fine. Let's eat!"

Seeing that his complexion was gradually recovering, Yu Ruyue did not ask any further questions. She picked up the wontons in front of her and started eating.

Only after eating the hot wontons did she feel alive again.

Thinking that Wen Mo would not be able to come over until the afternoon, she wanted to go out for a walk and have a look.

I originally wanted to go alone, but Qin Haowen insisted, so we went out together.

Yu Ruyue looked at the bustling and prosperous Liuzhou Prefecture. It was like a countryman coming to the city. Everything she saw was new and interesting!

"Qin Haowen! Do you think this looks good on me?"

"Qin Haowen! I think this hairpin suits you very well."

"Qin Haowen! Buy one for your mother and one for my mother."

"Qin Haowen..."

Qin Haowen looked at the cheerful figure in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Soon his hands were full.

Yu Ruyue looked back and promised a little embarrassedly: "I'll just go to the last place, and we'll go back after we get here."

Qin Haowen smiled faintly and said, "It's okay! It's not a lot, as long as you are happy."

Yu Ruyue wanted to buy things whenever she was nervous. Although she looked happy on the surface, she was actually very nervous. She was really afraid that she would make a wrong judgment this time and all the noodles and instant noodles would fall into her hands.

But she was also afraid of tiring Qin Haowen out. After all, he had suffered serious internal injuries when he was bought from the dental clinic, and he hadn't slept all night. If she really tired him out, she would be guilty.

So she went straight to her final destination, which was the bookstore in Liuzhou Prefecture!

Just as she was about to step in, she heard loud exclamations from inside.

"Oh my god! How come this person's writing is so good? Shen Chou!? How come I've never heard of this person's name?"
