Lin Ziqiu couldn't help blushing and quickly took Ruan Qing's hand to hide her panic. "Um... I have something I want to discuss with you."

Ruan Qing saw her embarrassment and couldn't help but click his tongue, letting her pull him.

Lin Ziqiu finally let go of Ruan Qing's hand after they went up to the second floor and went to Ruan Qing's room. Seeing that Ruan Qing was still trying to hold back her laughter, she complained angrily, "You're still laughing!"

Ruan Qing couldn't help laughing, and then pinched her throat and imitated it, "Is it okay? Husband~"

"Ahhh!"

Lin Ziqiu felt ashamed to face people. She had never expected to call out the latter name.

It came out almost subconsciously.

Seeing her so embarrassed, Ruan Qing laughed so hard that her face turned sore. "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."

"But I really didn't expect that Zhong Heyang would fall for this. I see, if you act coquettishly, he would even pick the stars in the sky for you."

"No wonder they say that women who act like spoiled brats have the best lives!"

Lin Ziqiu sat on the edge of the bed, thinking of Ruan Qing's mission, and couldn't help but say: "I haven't told him about your matter yet. In fact, I'm not sure he will agree."

"No hurry, it's still early, you don't have to worry about it."

Ruan Qing has become much more open-minded during this period.

Zhong Heyang was like a piece of smelly and hard cow dung, but she had really tried her best.

If she really couldn't complete the mission, it would be her fate.

Lin Ziqiu took her hand and said, "He has a special status. We need to file a report to get a marriage certificate. This is really a bit tricky. But is getting a marriage certificate with him really the only way?"

"Didn't your system give any other hints?"

Ruan Qing got angry when he said this, "Don't tell me, my damn system is useless except for making me angry."

After a pause, she almost shed tears of envy, "Your system is really cool, with so many supplies, everything you need. It would be great if we could exchange."

"Look, you're married to Zhong Heyang anyway. If I had you and this system, I'd go back and study really hard right now. I'd get you first place in the country! Then you can live a life of luxury and enjoy life without any worries."

Lin Ziqiu couldn't help laughing, "You! You wish!"

She now regretted not telling Ruan Qing the truth. She didn't have any mission. That was just her goal in this life.

Since Ruan Qing trusts her wholeheartedly, let her, the "character in the play", protect her from now on.

"There are a lot of people out there who don't have houses to live in right now. I don't know what's happening with your house in the suburbs. Call Xiaofeng this afternoon and we'll go take a look together."

Ruan Qing has lived here for more than half a month and now she doesn't want to leave, especially since she can chat with Lin Ziqiu every day. She is alone in the suburbs and feels lonely.

No one even spoke.

If it were her in the past, she would stay at home forever if she had a mobile phone.

The damn book-traveling thing is almost making her quit her cell phone addiction!

"Okay, will Zhong Heyang go?"

Lin Ziqiu closed his eyes and said, "Let's call him. If there are any bad guys, it will be much safer with him around."

It was very dangerous to think about the two people trying to pick the lock at the door early that morning.

Ruan Qing compromised and said, "Okay, your husband has the final say. He listens to you anyway, but you have to protect me! Zhong Heyang looks at me like he wants to stab me with a knife!" Lin Ziqiu pursed her lips and smiled, "Are you still afraid of him?"

Ruan Qing said stubbornly, "I did that for your sake. I don't want to argue with him. I'm not afraid of him!"

Lin Ziqiu didn't expose her and responded, "Okay, okay."

···

Li Gui's body was found.

Apart from a knife wound on his body, the fatal cause was freezing to death.

The Li family caused chaos in the village and asked Shen Chengyuan to take charge of the matter and catch the murderer.

Shen Chengyuan expressed his deepest sorrow, but he wanted to minimize the incident. "Without any clues, how can we catch the murderer? Besides, everyone's stuck at home these days. Who would have such a deep grudge against him to go to the mountains and kill him?"

Fang Hui burst into tears and clutched his arm, refusing to let go. "Captain, my cousin died with his eyes open. You watched him grow up, you can't just ignore him!"

"Fang Hui, I know you are sad, but you came to me

It's useless. You might as well think about whether your cousin has made an enemy with someone."

Shen Chengyuan's words instantly woke Fang Hui up.

Her enemy killed her cousin, but what enemy could Li Gui have?

The only thing that came to her mind first was the incident at the educated youth camp. The ones who caused the most trouble at that time were Qi Yanyu and the other educated youth. It was possible that one of them was holding a grudge and killing someone!

She madly shook off Shen Chengyuan and headed straight for the educated youth point.

"Eh--"

Shen Chengyuan sighed helplessly.

Qiu Lian asked in a low voice: "Who do you think is the murderer?"

Shen Chengyuan glared at her fiercely, his expression extremely serious. "It's none of your business, so you'd better stay out of it and keep your mouth shut!"

Qiu Lian choked and said timidly, "Why are you so fierce... I was just asking..."

"It's not even possible to ask!"

Shen Chengyuan had no patience for her and warned her again, "It's not just you. Tell the rest of the family, don't say a word to anyone in the village who asks you questions! Otherwise, you'll get into trouble!"

Qiu Lian shrank her neck, knowing that he was speaking out of consideration for the whole family.

It would be terrible if the murderer targeted him.

"I...I understand. I will tell them."

Shen Chengyuan glanced at her coldly and then walked out.

As soon as he left, Qiu Lian had the final say at home. She glanced at the time and saw that it was almost noon, so she ran to find Lu Hui and kicked open the door of her room.

With a condescending look, he ordered, "You've been living in my house for so long, eating and drinking for free. It's almost time for dinner, and you're not going to cook yet? Do you expect me, your elder, to wait on you? Don't you know how to be more diligent?"

Lu Hui was teaching Shen Yujuan to read and was startled by her.

Shen Yujuan nervously grabbed her mother's hand and timidly called out, "Mom..."

"Xiaojuan, be good. Stay in the room and play for a while. Mommy will go cook."

Lu Hui was extremely reluctant, but she was now living under someone else's roof and Shen Chengyuan was not at home, so she had to bow her head.

Originally she wanted to go back home to live, but Shen Yujuan pestered her and was reluctant to let her go.

After all, she is her granddaughter, and she has been taking care of the child by herself recently, so she is reluctant to be separated from the child for a while and plans to stay for a few more days.

I have to suffer in vain for a few more days.

Ever since Shen Chengyuan slapped her that day, the affection between them was no longer as strong as before.
