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

She stared out the window, unable to see the outside, and the image of the person who wanted to kill her flashed before her eyes, and fear overwhelmed her.

She was already on guard against everything around her.

But when these things happen, I am still helpless.

She closed her eyes helplessly, trying to figure out how to change her situation and stop being in such a passive position, but the pain in her body prevented her from thinking of a solution for the time being.

Lu Yan changed into clean clothes, thinking he would go see his cousin Ning'er again.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the maids were all hiding outside the door, secretly eating. Since they couldn't see him, they were still playing around, talking about how Zheng Ning'er had brought all this suffering upon herself. Now that she was bedridden, they felt much more at ease, no longer worried about her whereabouts.

If anyone else had heard these words, they would have certainly received a severe beating.

Lu Yan thought about the scene he had witnessed today and really didn't want the people in front of him to become like that.

He coughed aloud.

The maids immediately realized that someone had arrived.

"do not talk."

The maids, having hidden some snacks, immediately dispersed, some hurrying into the room to serve Yan Yun again.

Lu Yan entered the room and saw Yan Yun lying on the bed.

Thinking of the murderer who had already died, Lu Yan reminded the maid to take good care of her young mistress and to pay more attention to everything.

He knelt down beside Yan Yun's bed, sincerely hoping, "Cousin Ning'er, you must get better soon."

Yan Yun stayed in bed for more than a month again.

Lu Yan comes over every day.

Yan Yun didn't want to lie down every day, so he tried to sit up despite the maids' attempts to persuade him.

"Miss, you should lie down and rest."

Although Yan Yun did not like Lu Yan, at least the person in front of him now made him feel more at ease than the people in the Zheng family.

The maids immediately went to fetch Lu Yan back.

Waiting for Lu Yan to return.

With her still-good hand, Yan Yun used the pen and paper beside her to shakily write down what she wanted to ask Lu Yan.

Seeing the crooked handwriting and the constant sweat on Yan Yun's forehead, Lu Yan stopped trying to persuade him after a few attempts. Once Lu Yan could see the words on the paper clearly, he understood what Yan Yun wanted to know.

I just thought about his ending.

Lu Yan comforted her, "Don't worry, it's all over now, everything has been resolved."

Yan Yun was wondering if that person would escape after she left. She was worried that that person would reappear, and if they would hide in the shadows, she would be in danger at any time.

Yan Yun's expression grew increasingly panicked.

Lu Yan ordered all the maids in the room to leave.

Once the room quieted down, he reached out and covered Yan Yun's hand. If she kept moving it, her hand might not heal. He didn't know if she could understand what he was saying, so he spoke concisely, hoping she would understand: "That person is dead."

Yan Yun stared at him in astonishment, unsure whether his words were true or false.

died?

How did you die?

Yan Yun looked at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan released Yan Yun's hand, put the pen and paper aside again, and then slowly picked Yan Yun up. Because he was afraid that she would struggle, he continued to say softly, "It was the steward who did it himself. I saw it with my own eyes and watched the person die. I won't lie to you."

Since he said so, Yan Yun could no longer doubt it.

Lu Yan comforted Yan Yun back to sleep and asked the doctor to come and examine her again. Knowing which maids were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant towards Yan Yun, he personally took care of everything.

Another half month passed, and with his care, Yan Yun was able to get out of bed easily, although her hand was still not healed.

Zheng Jihua's replies came one after another.

In the letter, Zheng Jihua mercilessly rebuked Lu Yan for his incompetence. He then told Lu Yan that he had also received a message from the steward, saying that he was still a greenhorn and knew nothing about handling such matters. He also told Lu Yan that his brothers were in dire straits at the front, but someone in Yuanjing was hogging the supplies. If he didn't want to experience the tragedy of life and death again at the General's Mansion, he should not let Lu Yan receive such messages again.

After reading the letter, Lu Yan felt a chill run through his body.

He knew that the people of Yuanjing were eyeing them covetously when he left, but his father and brothers went to the battlefield to protect those people. But these people made Lu Yan feel a tightness in his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a moment.

When Lu Yuan entered the room and saw that the young master had become like this, he immediately cried out for help.

"Someone come quick! Someone come quick!"

Lu Yuan reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, wanting to help him up first.

Lu Yan reached out and grabbed him.

"Lu Yuan, don't make a fuss."

Lu Yuan's face was full of anxiety, and he wouldn't listen at all: "But young master, your condition is not good, doctor, I need to find a doctor."

Before leaving the capital, his wife had instructed him to take good care of his son, but he had failed to do so, and Lu Yuan felt guilty.

Outside, the servants quickly rushed over because of Lu Yuan's cries for help.

Lu Yan told Lu Yuan to close the door.

"Don't let anyone in. I don't want them to see me like this."

Lu Yan's pleading tone eventually made Lu Yuan give in. He held back his tears, feeling wronged, and hurriedly went to close the door. He pinched his arm and said to the people who came over, "It's nothing, just a false alarm."

People outside won't say much.

Lu Yan trusted Lu Yuan and handed him the letter.

After reading the letter, Lu Yuan exclaimed in shock, "Why would anyone want to frame such a loyal general?" Lu Yuan then looked at the young master beside him and instantly understood his feelings.

Even he found the feeling of being betrayed unacceptable.

Lord Zheng used the young master's weakness to warn him, which made it even more unpleasant.

"Young master, why don't you rest for a while?"

He also wanted Lu Yan to rest.

The old lady, however, had no such idea. The head manager of the money shop could only teach Lu Yan about the money shop; there was much more for him to learn.

For the old lady, the tutor Yan Yun hired only needed to be literate, but Lu Yan was different. Lu Yan not only needed to learn a lot, but also to learn well.

Granny Zhu sent someone to tell Lu Yan that everything had been arranged at the school and that he should get ready to go.

Although it's somewhat inappropriate for Lu Yan to go to school at his age, there are many peers of his age there, and he can make many friends. For someone like Lu Yan who wants to make a name for himself, there will only be more people he wants to make friends with.

Lu Yuan gradually felt suffocated; compared to the General's Mansion, this place made him feel even more breathless.

"Young master, can we still return to the general's mansion?"

Lu Yan was at a loss for words when Lu Yuan suddenly asked him this question.

Going back is definitely possible, but how and when to go back is still unknown.

Because Lu Yuan was even more upset than he was, Lu Yan pulled through. He burned the letter and asked Lu Yuan to prepare a letter for him to send to his brother. In the letter, he did not directly mention the news that Zheng Jihua had told him.

He carefully concealed those words in the letter, hoping his brothers would understand his meaning.

"Lu Yuan, please send this letter out for me."

Lu Yuan left the mansion to deliver a message, while Lu Yan went to see Yan Yun.

She remained sullen and unhappy inside the house.

Because her hand hadn't fully healed, there were people guarding her door to prevent her from going out. When Lu Yan went over and saw her, the way she looked out the window was like a bird trapped in a cage.

Although he wanted to take her out, the two unexpected incidents made it impossible for him to speak up, no matter how strong his heart was.

He could only send her books that she would like.

Seeing her engrossed in her book might help her pass the time, which made Lu Yan feel somewhat relieved.

He left the mansion again, going back and forth between the money exchange and the school. However, things were not as simple as he had imagined at the school. Yun Yi, whom he had met once before, was not friendly to him.

He had originally thought he could get along well with him, after all, he had helped his cousin Ning'er.

Unfortunately, Yun Yi was cold towards him and looked at him with disgust. Lu Yan didn't even know why he was excluded.

For a whole month.

Lu Yan gradually discovered that there was another person who had been treated this way by Yun Yi. Lu Yan also remembered this person; he was the boy he had seen at Shuyuan.

However, Lu Yan's instinct told him not to get close to this person.

He didn't take the initiative to make friends, and fortunately, the other party didn't show any intention of talking to him. Lu Yan felt grateful because with similar people around, his situation didn't seem so strange.

After Yan Yun injured his hand, he had even less desire to go out. Going out at this time would only cause him to suffer new injuries.

She had already figured out how to avoid these things directly and effectively. As long as that guy was soft-hearted, she didn't think she could control other people's hearts. However, there was always a little opportunity to take advantage of kind people.

She looked at the book that Lu Yan had brought.

They did the same thing as me.

He used the books from the Zheng family's collection to amuse himself.

Zheng Jihua had many more things sent back.

After the old lady accepted what she liked, she sent the rest to Yan Yun.

Zheng Jihua reminded them to send it to Yan Yun first, but after arriving, they should still send it to the old lady for inspection first.

Yan Yun collected all the silver notes he got from selling the goods, and planned to pawn the other items that had been sent to him after his hand healed.

She calculated the amount of silver notes she had pawned before. It was impossible for her to open a money exchange, but it would be more than enough to open another small shop.

What kind of shops can be opened to distribute them all? Even if they are distributed in all directions, can I solve the problem by myself if I don't have anyone I trust?

Yan Yunshu was lost in this thought after reading half of it.
