The next day, Su Wan made an appointment to meet Shen Wenqin. This time, she wanted to find out what the connection was between Shen Wenqin and herself. Liuyan had sent someone to invite her yesterday, and Su Wan had gotten up early in the morning and disguised herself as a man.

"Madam, do you want to bring a few more people with you? I always feel that he has bad intentions." Liu Shang said

Su Wan looked at herself in the mirror and tried her best to cover up her original appearance.

"Okay, take two more, the ones sent by Manager Liu."

"Yes."

At this time, someone knocked on the window again. Su Wan signaled Liu Shang to open the window. Liu Yan knew that they wanted to talk about something and wanted to leave.

The window opened, and Cang Yi smiled with his eyes curved, saying, "Hello."

Liu Shang's mouth flattened, "Why is it you?"

Cang Yi raised an eyebrow and walked past Liu Shang to the window. Seeing Su Wan, he smiled even more happily, "Madam Su, the young master asked us to protect you."

Su Wan said gently: "Chief Cang, everyone outside is my people. You can actually go through the door next time."

Cang Yi scratched the back of his head. He had seen the young lord always leave like this.

"That's right, do you have any manners?" Liu Shang was angry. Xie Yin was fine, but Cang Yi was also like this. Their wife was not someone who could be taken lightly, and why was he smiling like that?

Cang Yi saw Liu Shang pinching his waist, his nose suffocating with anger. His neck shrank, his eyebrows raised, and he said, "Oh, so fierce? Not as gentle as Madam Su."

Su Wan stood up to block Liu Shang, "Commander Cang, is there anything happy?"

"Ah? No." He didn't know why lately, but seeing Su Wan always made him feel happy. It was probably because this Lady Su was so charming. Besides his young master, the person he admired most in this world was probably Su Wan. Thinking back to that day when Shen Wenqin and Su Wan had ill intentions, he reminded himself and those around him to be on high alert. What Cang Yi didn't know was that his smile wasn't much more beautiful than Shen Wenqin's.

"Madam Su, today I and the two people outside are all your subordinates. Don't worry, they are all secret guards, and no one dares to say anything."

Su Wan was a little surprised. A secret guard? Was Xie Yin going to supervise her? But thinking about the assassination yesterday, Su Wan thought this was a good idea.

"Then I'll have to trouble Commander Cang." Su Wan said and walked out.

Cang Yi saw the Liushang pestle there again. He turned up his nose, rolled his eyes, and jumped out of the window.

Su Wan's residence was about a cup of tea's distance from Shen Wenqin's yard. After arriving, Cang Yi asked a secret guard to follow the master and servant into the yard.

Shen Wenqin welcomed the person in and the two of them came to the pavilion.

The servants served tea and food, including some cakes. Su Wan looked around and found something she liked. Was this a coincidence or a reminder?

"Brother Shen doesn't look well, what happened?"

Shen Wenqin's handsome face was filled with melancholy. He pursed his lips and said, "My classmate is getting married and said goodbye yesterday. I wanted to get up early today and secretly see him off, but I didn't make it in time."

Seeing Shen Wenqin's bitter eyes, Su Wan said, "It seems that this person is very important to Brother Shen."

Shen Wenqin sighed, "He's been my only confidant in the past two years. You know how common people must endure criticism in such an environment. They might mock my class, ridicule my talent, and even scoff at my ambitions. But he's the only one I've ever known, and we've become close friends."

Shen Wenqin looked melancholy. "Actually, I know he's not an ordinary person. He's getting married, but there's no anticipation in his eyes. Naturally, I feel sad for him."

Upon hearing this, Su Wan knew who this young man was. Thinking of Shen Wenqin's experience, she couldn't help but sigh. However, this is how the world works: there are differences between scholars and commoners, between legitimate and illegitimate children, and between men and women.

"Brother Shen, don't worry about what others say. As long as you stick to your heart, you will get what you want."

"Then I'll lend you some good advice."

Shen Wenqin pushed the cake forward and said, "Actually, I know you came to see me for something. You won't be here for long, so feel free to say whatever you want."

Su Wan paused, but Shen Wenqin smiled. "Didn't you say that? Follow your heart. I have no ill intentions, I just want to help you."

When these words were spoken, Cang Yi who was hiding in the dark was stunned. He looked at Xie Yin beside him, only to see that the man in front of him was frowning with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

"So, you already knew who I was?"

"You are Su Zhe, and you will always be as long as you want."

Su Wan's eyes flickered. "Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush. I heard your father has been secretly collecting evidence against the Yu family."

Shen Wenqin's expression froze, clearly not expecting Su Wan to come for this reason. And Su Wan had only just heard Xie Yin mention yesterday that the head of the Shen family hated the Yu family and had long since resolved to fight them to the death. So, Su Wan knew why the Shen family had been destroyed in her previous life. It seemed that Shen's father's plan had failed, and judging by the timeline, he should be about to act.

"I'm just telling you to remind your father not to act rashly. You should know that the Yu family is a century-old family, and it can't be taken over by a few people."

Shen Wenqin restrained his expression. "I am surprised. I only found out about this not long ago. How did you know about this?"

"Of course I have connections. I don't have any other intentions. I just don't want tragedy to happen."

Shen Wenqin's eyes were gentle, "Thank you."

Su Wan continued, "I wonder what Brother Shen's plans are for the future?"

Shen Wenqin raised his eyes and listened to Su Wan again: "This is my second purpose. I said that I admire Brother Shen's talent and character, and naturally I also hope that Brother Shen can strive for a bright future."

"I am just a commoner. My fate is sealed. No matter where I go, I will do what I should do."

"What if I want to ask you to help me?"

When these words came out, not only Shen Wenqin but also Xie Yin in the dark was surprised. And Su Wan felt that since Xie Yin had helped her, she naturally had to help him once. Even though Xie Yin didn't say anything, Su Wan guessed that he wanted her to test Shen Wenqin's attitude.

"I heard from the Zheng family earlier that the Lord is secretly recruiting talents in order to break free from his constraints. Why don't you give it a try, Brother Shen?"

Shen Wenqing was clearly tempted, but the thought of it was difficult. He was afraid that if the trip failed, he might even bring trouble to his clan members, so he hesitated.

Su Wan naturally understood him. "I'm not asking you to answer immediately, I just hope you'll consider it. I might introduce someone to you in a couple of days, and then you can confirm your intention."

Now that he knew Shen Wenqin's attitude, Xie Yin would naturally show up. And Su Wan didn't know why, but she believed that Xie Yin would help Shen Wenqin remove the obstacles.

Shen Wenqin: "I understand. I will think about it carefully."

Su Wan was a little puzzled. "You seem to believe everything I say. Aren't you afraid that I will use you?"

"I believe you!" Shen Wenqin said firmly, "Do you remember what I said before?"

Su Wan's eyes flashed. The softer Shen Wenqin smiled, the more she dared not let her guard down.

"Why do you know the Su family's wife? And why do you trust her so much?"

Shen Wenqin's eyes were like water. "Because she is worth it."

Su Wan frowned, clearly shocked by this statement. This person had said the same thing in her previous life, but she couldn't recall any connection between them.

"Have you met her?" Su Wan asked again.
