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

Lu Yan wondered who the person the steward was referring to was, and figured it must be the person from the academy.

Lu Yuan stood aside, and after the steward left, he asked Lu Yan, "Young Master, why did the steward tell you all this?"

Lu Yuan's casual remark reminded Lu Yan of why the manager had told him all this.

Lu Yan observed the steward carefully again, but could not discern his true intentions.

We will go to school the next morning.

Lu Yan wanted to ask his cousin Ning'er who she had left with yesterday, but Yan Yun kept looking outside with her face propped up on her hand and wouldn't listen to anything, so Lu Yan stopped talking.

We arrived at the academy.

Lu Yan searched for Yun Yi in the academy and guessed that the person the steward mentioned who sent Yan Yun back was him.

However, Yun Yi did not come to the academy.

Yan Yun stood at the door for a long time, but when he didn't see anyone come, he knew that yesterday's injury was still very serious for him. Since he didn't come, it meant that he was recuperating at home.

Lu Yan, who was standing behind Yan Yun, seemed to want to get closer to her.

Unfortunately, their relationship has remained lukewarm from the beginning until now.

The manager's words were probably meant to make him feel more insecure.

But in Lu Yan's heart, he felt that he and his cousin Ning'er should maintain this kind of relationship.

After all, maintaining this relationship would allow them to always treat each other with respect, and even in the future, their interactions wouldn't be too awkward.

But when the steward asked him that question yesterday, he found it hard to accept, even though he didn't object to his cousin Ning'er getting close to other people.

But if they get too close...

He still couldn't accept this.

"Cousin Ning'er, please come in. The master is here."

Yan Yun then went inside.

After Yan Yun sat down, Lu Yan sat next to her and casually started talking to her about what happened at the money exchange.

Yan Yun didn't refuse to know about the money shop. Since Yan Yun wanted to talk about it, Yan Yun would listen quietly, but he wouldn't give any response.

After the gentleman arrived, Lu Yan stopped talking.

Lu Yan knew that the only place he could spend time with his cousin Ning'er was the academy, and he would go to the money exchange every day after leaving the academy.

As for the money exchange, the head manager is now entrusting all matters to me wholeheartedly, which means that I am gradually beginning to gain control over the money exchange.

When he returned from the money exchange, his cousin Ning'er was already resting.

Even if they lived in the same mansion, they would never see each other.

Now, going to the academy allows us to get closer to each other.

Lu Yan felt much more relieved.

In the academy, one must naturally follow the rules and regulations.

But Mr. Na mentioned Lu Yan and Yan Yun, and told Lu Yan to sit in another seat.

"Men and women are different; this is an academy."

The gentleman's words were clearly directed at Lu Yan and Yan Yun. Yan Yun didn't seem to care, and Lu Yan simply sat down in another seat without any apparent impact.

Yan Yun tried her best to listen to the teacher's lecture, but since Zheng Jihua had brought her here midway, she was originally supposed to be with students of similar age. However, the old lady brought her here so that she could develop some feelings for Lu Yan. Naturally, she couldn't keep up with what the teacher was saying.

Fortunately, she had some experience from her previous life, so she could understand some of it.

On the other hand, there was the teacher, who knew that this Miss Zheng was mute and couldn't speak. He couldn't understand why Zheng Jihua would send her to the academy in this way.

Was it to follow that boy? Is that why they came here?

Thinking of this, the gentleman couldn't help but glance at Yan Yun a few more times. He thought she was listening attentively, but then he saw her gaze fall on Nan Yunjing.

Then I realized I was overthinking things.

What can a young lady like her do at the academy?

It's simply about wanting something new.

He opened the bamboo slips in front of him, wanting to dispel all his previous thoughts of repeating them.

What he didn't know was that Yan Yun was looking at Nan Yunjing because he thought his skills were truly remarkable, as he could easily escape from several people.

Originally, Yun Yi considered himself a skilled martial artist, but he was no match for Nan Yun Jing.

Yan Yuncai took a few more glances.

Nan Yunjing seemed to have noticed the gaze fixed on him, but without even thinking, he knew who it was just by looking in the direction the gaze was directed at.

Nan Yunjing did not intend to respond to her, and pretended not to notice her staring at him.

Until the gentleman said it was over.

Yun Yi, however, came to the academy.

However, he did not come alone; he was brought here by the manor's carriage.

He didn't go into the academy, but waited at the gate.

Lu Yan followed Yan Yun out of the academy and saw Yun Yi.

Yun Yi waved to Yan Yun.

"Come over here."

Yan Yun immediately ran over.

Just behind her as she ran, Lu Yan was still staring intently at her, but he didn't grab her outstretched hand.

Yun Yi knew he was seriously injured. After seeing a doctor last night, he couldn't lift his arm properly, fearing that his meridians had been damaged.

The people in the manor told him to rest and recuperate and not to come to the academy, but he still came anyway.

When she saw Yan Yun running towards her.

He still didn't understand why he had come to the academy.

Yan Yun stood under the carriage, looking at him without saying a word.

Yun Yi knew that this girl wouldn't speak in front of others, so he let her get into the carriage.

The coachman immediately brought over a wooden stool, intending for Yan Yun to step on it, just as he reached out.

Lu Yan came over and stopped Yan Yun from getting into the carriage.

He said softly, "Cousin Ning'er, how about we go to the money exchange together today? Ru Qing has been wanting you to come and visit her."

Lu Yan was not lying.

Ru Qing followed him the whole time, but the head manager still didn't give Ru Qing any face. Even though he knew that this person was sent by the young lady, the head manager was always wary of people of unknown origin and even made things difficult for her time and time again.

She suggested that Yan Yun go along to take a look, which would also be a way to help Ru Qing.

After being told this by Lu Yan, Yan Yun weighed the pros and cons.

She felt that Yun Yi was now injured and might not be able to keep his promise, but she wanted to go and check on Ru Qing.

First, to see Ru Qing; second, to see how the so-called money shops operate.

Yun Yi was displeased to see that Yan Yun hadn't gotten into the carriage. He had come all this way, and this girl still wanted to go with that person?

Yan Yun stopped in his tracks, and seeing that Yun Yi was about to get off the carriage, Yan Yun could only wave to him.

She pointed at Lu Yan.

I need to go with Lu Yan to take a look first.

Yun Yi wanted to get angry, but as soon as he got angry, he felt like he couldn't muster any more energy. He was both angry and anxious.

When Yun Yi appeared, Lu Yan knew who the steward had mentioned was who was taking his cousin Ning'er back home.

He took the initiative to explain to Yun Yi that his cousin Ning'er and he had other things to do, so they wouldn't be traveling with him today.

Yan Yun agreed, nodded to Yun Yi, waved his hand, and got into the Zheng family's carriage with Lu Yan.

The groom of the Yun family saw his young master's pale face and was even more frightened. "Young master, young master!" He immediately whipped his horse and led Yun Yi back to the mansion.

Yan Yun was helped into the carriage by Lu Yan, and Lu Yuan quickly took out the snacks he had prepared.

This was specially ordered by the young master to be purchased when he came to the city.

Lu Yan took it and handed it to Yan Yun.

"Try this pastry, Cousin Ning'er. It's a rather famous pastry."

Yan Yun didn't want to spoil the fun, so he picked up a piece and tasted it. The flavor was indeed smooth and creamy, but he got tired of it after just one piece.

Lu Yan urged her to eat some more, but Yan Yun refused, saying she couldn't eat anymore.

They arrived at the money exchange.

Ru Qing was still waiting outside the door. Just as Lu Yan had said, if he didn't take Ru Qing inside, she wouldn't have a chance to get in at all.

Yan Yun and Ru Qing have never discussed these matters, so Yan Yun is unaware of them.

Ru Qing was slightly surprised to see Yan Yun get off the carriage. She usually went back with Lu Yan late at night and hadn't seen Yan Yun many times.

Now, upon meeting her again, she still felt quite warm towards her, and in front of outsiders, she still politely bowed to Yan Yun.

"Miss."

Yan Yun reached out and took her hand, and they went into the money exchange together.

The head manager of the money shop had never met Yan Yun before, so he didn't recognize him either, but he saw Ru Qing go in.

He immediately launched into a tirade against Ru Qing.

"I didn't even let you in, how dare you step into the money exchange?"

That tone was really too much. Looking at his arrogant appearance, Yan Yun realized that it was no wonder that this person followed Zheng Jihua and said the same thing.

The head manager noticed that Ru Qing was accompanied by a young maid.

He said to Ru Qing, "What do you think this place is? You even brought people here. Didn't I tell you that you can't come in?"

Ru Qing wanted to explain.

Yan Yun squeezed her hand, stopping her.

Lu Yan followed in to explain and introduce the situation.

"Manager, this is my cousin Ning'er."

The head steward instantly recognized who this person was. His face, which had been filled with resentment just moments before, immediately turned into a smile as he looked at Yan Yun. "So it's Miss Yan Yun. I'm so sorry for not greeting you properly. Someone, prepare a room for Miss Yan Yun to rest in."

Yan Yun didn't give him a friendly look either. Even when the head manager took the initiative to talk to her, she turned her head to look behind the high counter, where someone was exchanging silver notes for money.

The head steward led Yan Yun inside and immediately ordered people to prepare food.

Even after what just happened, he was a man who had seen a lot and didn't care too much about it.

After all, he was working for Zheng Jihua, and as for the young lady, she had no direct relationship with him, so he should just treat her with courtesy.

From the moment they entered the money exchange, Yan Yun held Ru Qing's hand the whole time, which he did so specifically for the head manager to see. Yan Yun didn't go to the backyard, but instead sat down at the table in the main hall.

Because other people came over.

The head manager followed Lu Yan to the counter first.

Once Lu Yan got the hang of it, the head manager immediately came over to serve Yan Yun.

Seeing Lu Yan listing the accounts inside, Yan Yun pointed to Ru Qing, and Ru Qing immediately went to Lu Yan's side.

The head manager was about to speak when Yan Yun looked at him and stared at him.

"Miss, is there something you want to say?"
