After being reborn, I became the apple of my enemy's eye.

He was about to reach out and grab the woman when he said that.

The woman cried out and begged Nan Yunjing for help.

"Young master, young master, please save me."

She now knew that only Nan Yunjing in front of her could save her.

Before Yuan Zhu's hand could even touch the woman, he was struck by Nan Yun Jing's palm. He pushed Yuan Zhu's hand back, and Yuan Zhu's hand instantly overlapped with his own arm.

Yuan Zhu immediately let out a scream.

Nan Yunjing treated him like air.

"Your money will naturally be returned to you, and no one else can touch the people I took away."

Nan Yunjing took off his cloak and draped it over the girl.

He picked the girl up in his arms and carried her out the door.

The thugs stood aside, and the leader made way for them.

Yun Yi stood in the middle of the path they had cleared, glaring at Nan Yun Jing.

What are you doing right now?

Yun Yi's tone was even angrier than Nan Yun Jing's earlier.

Their eyes met.

Nan Yunjing ignored him as well, and continued walking.

Yun Yi grabbed his shoulder.

"Answer me, I'm asking you, what are you doing here?"

Nan Yunjing noticed Yan Yun standing to the side. Despite her clumsy attire, he knew who she was at a glance.

He leaned close to Yun Yi and whispered in a tone only the two of them could hear, "Instead of asking me, you should be staring at that girl, not at me."

Yun Yi was enraged by Nan Yun Jing's words.

"What I do is none of your business."

Nan Yunjing returned the same words to him.

"If that's what you think too, then you shouldn't be asking me why this is where I am."

And while they were arguing.

The madam of Zuichunlou also came over.

Nan Yunjing shoved Yun Yi's shoulder aside and faced the madam who was approaching.

"I've already delivered the things to your room, and I'm taking this girl with me."

The madam smiled and said, "Thank you, young master."

She dismissed the thugs and, accompanied by several women, swayed into the house.

The woman being held by Nan Yunjing and Yan Yun moved away from each other.

When the woman looked up by chance, Yan Yun immediately noticed the two prominent black moles on her face.

She's Ruqing's younger sister!!

Yan Yun immediately followed Nan Yunjing's steps and chased after him.

After Yun Yi faced setbacks at every turn against Nan Yun Jing, he was momentarily distracted. He needed to ascertain Yuan Zhu's condition, and when he looked into Yuan Zhu's hateful eyes inside the room...

Yun Yi withdrew.

Now that Yuan Zhu has been injured, they are bound to become enemies.

Yun Yi did not go in to test Yuan Zhu again.

He thought of Yan Yun, and when he stepped back from inside the house, he prepared to go find Yan Yun.

Yan Yun, whom she had just repeatedly told not to move around and to wait for her in place, had disappeared.

Yun Yi was greatly shocked, and that unease he had felt before swept over him again.

He looked at the pimp who was following him and asked him where the boy who came with him from that place had gone.

The pimp, who had been standing nearby, was very observant and immediately recognized the man's movements.

The pimp said that Yan Yun went out with Nan Yun Jing.

Yun Yi immediately took off and chased after him.

Yan Yun, who was following behind Nan Yunjing, also knew that they could not stop at Zuichunlou.

You should wait until you leave Zuichunlou to confirm it yourself.

She followed closely behind Nan Yunjing without stopping.

Until I left Zuichunlou.

She called Nan Yunjing by his name directly.

"Nan Yun Jing!"

Upon hearing Yan Yun's voice, Nan Yunjing immediately stopped and turned around.

He asked her curiously, "Why did you follow me out?"

Yan Yun pointed to the woman in his arms and explained, "I'm here to see her."

The woman pulled Nan Yunjing's cloak over and completely covered his face.

Yan Yun could see that she was scared, so she explained her purpose and said softly, "Don't worry, I am your sister, Ru Qing. She sent me to find you. You still remember your sister, right?"

Upon hearing the other person mention her sister's name, the woman made a slight movement, but did not react otherwise.

Yan Yun wanted to see her face and confirm it again.

As she approached, she said, "Your sister has been looking for you."

The woman remained silent, offering no response whatsoever to Yan Yun.

Yan Yun was not discouraged.

She told the other person, "I came here to save you."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Nan Yunjing and asked, "How much silver did you spend? Tell me, and I will have someone prepare it and send it to your residence. As for her, can she come with me?"

The woman did not respond at all.

Nan Yunjing frowned and said to Yan Yun, "You really have a lot of guts, daring to come to this Drunken Spring Pavilion."

Yan Yun's first reaction was to touch his face.

Did he recognize her even like this?

This isn't an important matter right now.

Yan Yun's concern was all focused on Ru Qing's younger sister.

She whispered to the woman, "Could you take off your cloak so I can see your face? If I can see your face, I'll be sure that your sister will be coming to Yuanjing soon, and you'll be able to see her."

No matter what Yan Yun said, the woman neither spoke nor made a move.

When Yan Yun suggested keeping the woman by his side, she tightly gripped Nan Yun Jing's clothes with her other hand, begging him not to abandon her or hand her over to anyone else.

Yan Yun wanted to explain that he wouldn't hurt her.

The woman, however, seemed to have gone mad, yelling at Yan Yun, "Liar! Liar!" and telling him to stop talking.

Nan Yunjing also asked Yan Yun.

"What if she's not the person you're looking for? What would you do then?"

Yan Yun did not hesitate.

Even if she wasn't Ru Qing's sister, as long as she didn't want to go back to Zui Chun Lou, I would find her a new place to settle down.

Just as Yan Yun gave his answer.

Yun Yi, who had chased after them, had already caught up from behind.

He was clearly annoyed that Yan Yun had disobeyed him and left again.

"Zheng Ning'er, why do you always make me so afraid!"

He grabbed Yan Yun's hand and pulled her away from Nan Yunjing and back to his side.

He didn't care whether Nan Yunjing was by his side or not, and he completely forgot the purpose of accompanying Yan Yun.

He scooped Yan Yun up in his arms, his voice trembling, "I told you before, if you don't follow my instructions, I'll take you away."

Yan Yun was startled when his body was suddenly lifted into the air.

She raised her hand and quickly pounded Yunyi's back.

"Don't go, I want to see if that person is Ru Qing's sister."

But Yunyi wouldn't listen to anything. He picked up Yan Yun and left.

Nan Yunjing, carrying the woman, led them in two different directions.

The person was right next to you, but you couldn't get confirmation.

Moreover, Yun Yi was as stubborn as an ox and wouldn't listen to Yan Yun at all.

He arrogantly escorted Yan Yun back to the gate of Zheng Courtyard and handed her over to the attendants guarding the gate.

"Miss?"

The attendants stared in disbelief at the completely different Yan Yun. Who would have thought that this beggar-like fellow was actually their young lady?

The attendant, in a panic, sent someone to inform the manager.

Yan Yun glared at Yun Yi. He would no longer remember the immense kindness Yun Yi had shown him, but he would remember how Yun Yi had pushed him to this point today.

Yan Yun stepped forward and shoved Yun Yi aside. Without even the proper farewell etiquette, he went straight into the courtyard.

Yunyi told his attendants that he would find an opportunity to visit Zheng Jihua again.

He said goodbye today.

After Yun Yi finished speaking, he turned and left.

The once quiet mansion became noisy again after Yan Yun's return.

Yan Yun returned to his courtyard, and the old women who had been guarding outside broke out in a cold sweat when they saw him.

Because the door was locked from the inside, the attendants forced it open.

After all, Yan Yun wouldn't tell them that she jumped out of the window.

Zheng Jihua, who was asleep, was also awakened. Upon hearing the words from the steward, he immediately put on his clothes and rushed to Yan Yun's room.

Zheng Jihua noticed the darkness on Yan Yun's face and his tattered clothes.

His voice was hoarse as he spoke, "Ning, Ning'er."

Yan Yun covered her face and began to sob softly.

Zheng Jihua immediately panicked and looked at the old women guarding the door.

"What are you all doing? Miss wasn't in her room, and you didn't even know?"

The old women immediately knelt down, and the concubine who arrived late naturally did not escape Zheng Jihua's reprimand.

"These are the slow-witted old women you found? If Ning'er, anything happens today, I'll make sure you all die with her."

Yan Yun cried because she really didn't want to know how to explain Zheng Jihua's behavior tonight, so she simply cried and pretended to have been kidnapped.

And after she cried, she did indeed touch Zheng Jihua's softest spot.

He guessed that someone had broken into the yard or that someone had taken Yan Yun away, but he didn't consider that Yan Yun had walked out of the yard on his own initiative.

"You all search everywhere, see if those guys left any traces."

And naturally, Zheng Jihua couldn't sleep that night either.

He figured he would have to go and meet this so-called Young Master Yun tomorrow.
