Nie Shen'er washed herself carefully, removed the smell of blood from her body, and changed into a goose yellow dress.

Luyun put her hair into a bun behind her, with a bun on top of her head and a lock of hair hanging down at the back, which made it convenient for her to move and looked simple and elegant.

Because she was treating the host, Nie Shen'er didn't want to be too late, so she arrived half a cup of tea earlier than the agreed time, intending to see what dishes the restaurant had first.

Unexpectedly, when Nie Shen'er arrived, he saw a young man waiting there. When the young man saw Nie Shen'er coming, surprise flashed in his eyes. He immediately stood up and greeted her, saying:

"Shen'er, long time no see!"

The young man had a handsome appearance, outstanding temperament, tall height and long legs. When he stood up, he was more than a head taller than Shen'er, and looked very intimidating.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the intimacy in his words dissipated the oppressive force, leaving only gentleness.

"Long time no see. It's been a year since we last met." Nie Shen'er said with a smile.

The two sat down again. Nie Shen'er picked up the menu, looked up at him and asked, "What do you want to eat? Order."

Yan Yu: "Shen'er, whatever you decide is fine. I'll listen to you."

Hearing this, Lu Yun, who was standing behind Nie Shen'er, looked at Yan Yu meaningfully.

The legal advisor following behind Yan Yu also showed a meaningful look, thinking that no wonder the county magistrate came to wait in advance and looked so nervous. It seemed that he was about to face a fairy-like person, probably his sweetheart.

Nie Shen'er said calmly, "Let's share, half each."

Yan Yu did not refuse.

After ordering the dishes, Nie Shen'er said to Lu Yun, "Lu Yun, please sit down and eat with us."

After a long journey, Lu Yun not only helped her take a bath and comb her hair, but also came in to serve her. Nie Shen'er knew that Lu Yun wanted to support her. The others had been called away by Nie Shen'er to order their own food and have a big meal, but Lu Yun wanted to join her.

Just come together. Why don't you sit down?

Nie Shen'er cried out helplessly. Lu Yun hesitated for a moment and finally sat down.

Seeing this, the lawyer looked at the county magistrate eagerly. Yan Yu received his gaze, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Master, please sit down too. Don't be so reserved."

Was it him who didn't let the master sit down?

Isn't it that someone is also thinking about giving him face...

Now everyone who was standing in the box sat down.

Yan Yu didn't know what happened to Nie Shen'er. He only knew that Nie Shen'er said she was going to get married this year. He was very sad about this, but he still sent someone to give her a gift.

Yan Yu looked at Nie Shen'er's face and didn't find anything wrong. He just glanced at her and then looked away. He opened his mouth and said, "Shen'er, why did you come here alone? Where's your...husband?"

"He's dead." Nie Shen'er was very calm when she mentioned Zhang Hexuan. Zhang Hexuan couldn't even bear to kill the bastard, so how could he say he loved her? It would be better for him to die with the bastard.

Yan Yu's hand holding the teacup trembled, and a lot of tea immediately leaked out and flowed onto his fingers, making them wet. But he didn't bother to wipe them off. Shock and heartache flashed in his eyes:

"Why would he die out of nowhere?"

He felt sorry for Nie Shen'er because she married the man she loved, but the happiness she found was so short-lived. Just a few months after the marriage, her loving husband died, and she became a widow at a young age.

Nie Shen'er: "Poisoned. His whole family died of poisoning."

Yan Yu put down his teacup, took a deep breath, and calmed his shock. "This is too vicious. Fortunately, Shen'er is fine. So where are you going now? Back to your parents' home?"

The person was dead, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Nie Shen'er. He could only say something else to divert Shen'er's attention so that she would not be immersed in the sadness of the past.

Little did they know that Nie Shen'er was the mastermind behind the poisoning of the Zhang family.

"Well, I'm ready to go home and never come to Chang'an again. This time when I passed by Yong'an County, I wanted to say goodbye to you. After this farewell, I'm afraid we won't have the chance to meet again." Nie Shen'er said.

"I'm satisfied just to see her again." Yan Yu was also quite sad. However, while saying this, he had some hope in his heart. Since Shen'er's husband was dead, why couldn't he fight for it?

"Shen'er, if I tell you that I like you too, can you give me a chance to pursue you?" Yan Yu was afraid that if he didn't say it, he would never have the chance to say it again, so he spoke very decisively.

Nie Shen'er had long noticed Yan Yu's thoughts, but she had no feelings for him. Although Yan Yu had not yet married, he had concubines and mistresses around him, and he was not her type.

Facing Yan Yu's bold question, Nie Shen'er pretended to be shocked. Her eyelashes trembled, and she lowered her eyes slightly and said, "In this life, I will only regard you as my brother."

Yan Yu suddenly felt lost. Was it true that Shen'er really disliked him?

That's it.

Yan Yu did not force it, but said with a carefree look: "Okay, since Shen'er has no interest in me, then we can just be brother and sister."

After this topic was brought up, Nie Shen'er turned to talk about the real business of looking for Yan Yu this time.

She went to see Yan Yu partly to reminisce about the past, but more importantly to get Yan Yu to do something.

Nie Shen'er:

"I was passing through a valley in Yong'an County this time when I ran into bandits. They nearly killed all my men, and they've killed many passersby before. If Brother Yan has time, please send troops to suppress the bandits. I suggest we set out in the next few days, because I've already killed three of the bandit leaders. It's a time when the group is leaderless, so it's easier to rob them."

Hearing this, Yan Yu said angrily: "How could such a thing happen? Shen'er, don't worry, I will send people to encircle and suppress them tomorrow, and will never let the robbers harm innocent people."

Then, Yan Yu took great care of Nie Shen'er and only felt relieved after confirming that she was really fine.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host.

Nie Shen'er went back to the inn and had a nap. The next day, he was full of energy and continued his journey to Dai State.

In fact, it’s not that Shen’er has to go to Daiguo, but Zhang Dali is here. Zhang Dali will get married and have children sooner or later. It would be bad if Nie Shen’er’s family meets Zhang Dali in the future.

Even if we go to Dai State, the mountains are high and the waters are far away, and we will definitely not meet Zhang Dali.

Later he settled in Dai State.

Early in the morning, when Shen'er was about to leave, Yan Yu unexpectedly came to the city gate to see her off. Looking at the backs of Nie Shen'er and her group from afar, Yan Yu sighed deeply, "From now on, we probably won't be able to see each other again."

Although Shen'er didn't say where she would go in the future, Yan Yu had a hunch that Shen'er might go very far away.

The traffic was slow and Yan Yu couldn't leave the place where he took office, so he could only wish Shen'er happiness in the future.

The lawyer felt a little distressed and said, "County Magistrate, don't be sad. There may be another chance in the future..."

Yan Yu waved his hand and said, "There's no chance. Forget it. Let's go back and discuss the bandit suppression plan..."

If his superiors knew that he was aware of the rampant robbers, and if he ever offended a big shot he shouldn't, his official career would be over, Yan Yu would definitely not refuse to suppress the bandits.
