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

The matter gradually calmed down.

The girl told Yan Yun that her name was Ru Qing and her younger sister was Ru Meng. Although she was grateful to Yan Yun, she could not leave her sister.

Yan Yun could see that she was worried about her sister, but it was a pity that she couldn't find her sister now. Not to mention her sister, even she herself couldn't survive safely, so he advised her to stay quietly.

As for her sister, since she was captured in Changgu City, as long as the person who captured her sister can be found, her sister's whereabouts can be found.

Yan Yun gave Ru Qing the silver notes she had pawned. She did not demand that Ru Qing stay, but gave Ru Qing a choice: she could leave the Zheng family. However, it was true that Ru Qing was alone and could not do anything.

She generously handed over the silver notes, firstly because she knew she would need money to find her sister, and secondly because she didn't need the notes for herself right now.

Ru Qing was also surprised to see those silver notes.

"You're just giving it to me like this? Aren't you afraid I'll take it?"

If Yan Yun were afraid, he wouldn't have given her the money.

"You can use this money as you please. I won't ask you anything. You can stay or leave as you wish."

Yan Yun poured himself a cup of hot tea, as he hadn't rested well yesterday and wasn't feeling very well today.

Ru Qing wanted to help Yan Yun, but Yan Yun didn't let her do it.

“You don’t need to do these servant’s jobs. I didn’t save you so that you would do them.”

Ru Qing didn't understand. "Then what do I need to do?"

Saving herself wouldn't mean asking her to become a prostitute; besides, these wealthy families wouldn't stop until they'd squeezed every last drop out of her.

Yan Yun drank the tea, and in response to Ru Qing's curiosity, she explained, "You just need to do what you want to do."

Ru Qing pressed on again, "Are you sure you don't need me to do anything?"

She still couldn't believe it.

Yan Yun stared at her, and Ru Qing felt uncomfortable with his scrutinizing gaze.

Don't look at me like that.

Yan Yun immediately looked away. Of course she needed her to do things for her, but now was not the right time.

If she decides to stay, she will remind her.

"Besides me, you'd better not trust anyone else in this manor. As for my ability to speak, only you know that. If others find out, even if I like you a lot, I won't feel sorry for you."

These words were a warning to Ru Qing.

And her warnings were very effective.

Waiting for the maid to bring the food.

Yan Yun let Ru Qing eat with him.

Ru Qing was really not used to it and could only eat a little before she couldn't eat anymore. This was partly because of Yan Yun's strange behavior and partly because she was worried about her younger sister.

Yan Yun didn't urge her to continue eating; after he had finished eating, he went to bed to rest.

Ru Qing wondered where she should be.

Before the maid came in to tidy up, Yan Yun told her, "You can speak, and you can get a lot from me."

Ru Qing and the other maids came in and asked where they could stay.

The maid glanced at Yan Yun, then, remembering what Young Master Lu Yan had instructed, she led Ru Qing to the room next door.

Ru Qing looked at the room, still feeling unreal. The events that had happened since yesterday made her feel like she was dreaming, only this was a nightmare. As for where she was now, she couldn't tell if it was a nightmare or a good dream.

She closed her eyes, but then opened them again in an instant.

She looked around, and everything was real. Not only was she alive, but she would no longer have to live a life of hardship. If she could find her sister, her sister would also be able to live a good life with her.

She patted her head, hoping that everything wouldn't be gone when she woke up again.

After the banquet, everyone rested.

The old lady had people guarding her courtyard. Even though Lu Yan spoke up for her, the old lady had already decided not to let her go out anymore.

If Yan Yun goes out again without permission, the steward and the maid will be punished.

After testing the waters a few times, Lu Yan knew he couldn't just open his mouth any longer.

He had no choice but to have Lu Yuan deliver the items, while he continued to visit the money exchange and the academy.

Yan Yun looked at the people guarding the courtyard and knew he couldn't go out. He also didn't have the strength to argue with the old lady. Fortunately, he couldn't go out, but Ru Qing could.

Ru Qing decided to stay.

In fact, this is the wisest choice.

Yan Yun did not treat Ru Qing as a maid. Ru Qing could do much more than Yan Yun. She could not only leave the mansion, but also tell Yan Yun what was happening outside.

Because the young leader of the bandits was captured, the bandits have been restless, not only injuring many people outside the city, but also coming into the city to injure people from time to time.

Yan Yun knew from the last time he saw the bandit leader appear on the city wall that he wouldn't dare to show up so boldly if he didn't have someone backing him.

Yan Yun thought of Ru Qing, whose face had already been memorized by those people. "Be careful, there's no guarantee those people won't target you, or you shouldn't go out recently."

Ru Qing also knew this, but recently she had vaguely learned some news about her younger sister, so she would dress herself up before leaving the mansion.

She found it strange that Yan Yun was flipping through a book.

Do you recognize those words?

Yan Yun nodded, thinking of her husband. If Mr. Shu were still alive, she would definitely be able to learn more. It's a pity that it's not easy to find such a good teacher now.

Because of the old lady's constant restrictions on him, Yan Yun wrote a letter to Zheng Jihua and asked Ru Qing to give it to Lu Yan, so that no one in the mansion would know about it.

Yan Yun instructed that the money must be handed over to Zheng Jihua, and also asked Ru Qing to learn the money shop business from Lu Yan.

Ru Qing immediately fell silent.

"How will you know if it's possible to do something if you don't try?"

When Yan Yun was still Zheng Jihua's wife, she knew that he was busy with the money shop business. However, at that time, he avoided her. Yan Yun once felt that he was not feeling well because of sitting for a long time, and wanted to help him. However, as soon as she entered the accounting room, Zheng Jihua got angry, hit Yan Yun, and verbally abused her.

"This accounting office is not a place you can just walk into?"

After that, the accounting office was locked.

That lock wasn't for preventing thieves, but for preventing Yan Yun.

Looking back, Yan Yun still didn't understand how he had managed to hold back.

It's laughable to even think about it.

After sending the letter away, Lu Yan looked at the woman following behind him. He couldn't figure out why Ru Qing was following him. He was also worried that this woman of unknown origin might have ulterior motives towards Yan Yun, but now she wanted to follow him? Lu Yan couldn't quite figure out her thoughts either.

But Ruqing repeatedly explained that it was Miss who wanted her to follow him and also wanted him to teach her how to manage the bank.

Lu Yuan felt that this young lady was deliberately making things difficult for his young master.

He wanted to argue with Miss Zheng, but Yan Yun didn't give them the chance at all.

She was in a bad mood because she was dissatisfied with her teacher and the old lady wouldn't allow her to leave the mansion.

Ru Qing is now following Lu Yan and has no idea what that young lady is thinking. She can only follow Lu Yan's lead.

However, the head manager of the money shop did not do as Yan Yun had suggested.

Now that he's learning from Lu Yan, the head manager wouldn't allow a woman to learn business from him.

Ru Qing returned to the mansion and told Manager Yan Yun that he did not want to teach her.

Yan Yun indicated that he already knew.

However, she initially referred to Lu Yan, not the head manager.

"You're the one who followed the wrong person."

Furthermore, Ru Qing needs to handle this matter herself, since she cannot get involved in the money exchange business right now.

Yan Yun asked her with concern if her sister's whereabouts had been found.

Ru Qing looked troubled.

She can't find that person at all, and she doesn't know where her sister was sent.

Thinking about this, she felt a bit conflicted.

Yan Yun spoke up to comfort her.

"Once you've settled down here, you can slowly look for your sister."

"it's the only way."

And the other side.

Zheng Jihua quickly replied to the letter Yan Yun sent out. Upon seeing the handwriting, Zheng Jihua knew it was written by Yan Yun.

He grabbed the person next to him and laughed excitedly, "It's a letter from Ning'er."

The person next to him stared at the hand Zheng Jihua was holding, "Ning'er?"

Zheng Jihua said with a smile, "She's my daughter."

He let go.

"Wait a moment, I'll reply to you first."

Zheng Jihua replied that as long as it was something Yan Yun wanted to do, Zheng Jihua would do it with all his might.

In his letter, he told Yan Yun that as long as he handed the letter over to the steward, everything else would be rearranged.

Zheng Jihua still made things very convenient for Yan Yun in these matters.

Yan Yun took all these conveniences for granted.

The manager also looked troubled after receiving the letter.

Looking at the young lady before him, and recalling the old lady's orders, he suddenly felt that his position was in grave danger.

Yan Yun stared intently at him.

The steward was still thinking. Although the old lady was somewhat frightening, in his opinion, she was far inferior to Zheng Jihua.

The manager thought so too.

He comforted the young lady.

I just hope I can come up with a quick solution between the old lady and the adults as soon as possible.

After hearing his assurance that he would definitely resolve the matter, Yan Yun waited quietly.

Just half a month later.

The old lady's arrogance subsided.

Yan Yun arrived at the school as she wished.

Yun Yi was surprised to see Yan Yun appear in the school.

Why is this girl at school?

The teachers at the academy treated everyone equally, and they did not discriminate against Yan Yun, who came to the academy. Women and men were separated by a beaded curtain and did not interact with each other.

When they stopped midway, Yun Yi went up and called out to Yan Yun.

He stared at her; he couldn't be wrong. He clearly remembered that this girl could talk.

But today her husband said she can't speak properly.

He concluded: "Are you lying?"

That's how Yun Yi sees it.

Yan Yun stared at Yun Yi for a moment. Although Yun Yi would always appear whenever he was in danger, he didn't seem to feel any gratitude towards him.

Yan Yun did not want to answer Yun Yi's question.

As she turned to leave, Yun Yi reached out and grabbed her hand: "Don't play dumb, you have to tell me."

Yun Yi felt he wanted to know something from her, and he was determined to uncover the secrets she was hiding.

Meanwhile, Lu Yan saw Yan Yun being stopped by Yun Yi and immediately stepped forward. He couldn't just stand by and watch Yan Yun be questioned by Yun Yi.

Yan Yun had no intention of answering Yun Yi's question; even if Yun Yi questioned him, there was no answer.

Lu Yan appeared just in time and stood in front of Yan Yun.

Yun Yi looked at the person in front of him: "You have nothing to do with this matter."
