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

He gripped Yan Yun's hand again and wrote the character "Ning" after "Jing".

“Ning’er’s academy should naturally have Ning’er’s name on it.”

Unable to break free from Zheng Jihua's grasp, Yan Yun had no choice but to release the pen and escape Zheng Jihua's hand.

Zheng Jihua grabbed Yan Yun's pen and added the words "Academy" after the character "Ning".

He stepped aside and instructed Old He, who was standing to the side, "Take this to the workshop now and have it carved with this name within three days. I want everyone to know that this study has become an academy."

The old man immediately and respectfully took the brush and placed it aside, waiting for him to leave.

Zheng Jihua placed her hand on Yan Yun's shoulder. "Ning'er, do whatever you want. Don't worry about those guys, because they won't stand in your way."

Zheng Jihua looked at the study, which was already being prepared for cleaning.

"Father, I will always be behind you. Let all the people who have hurt you disappear."

Zheng Jihua's continuous words reminded Yan Yun of the woman who assassinated Shi Yunjun.

But she felt that Shi Yingjun's situation couldn't be such a coincidence.

Zheng Jihua shouldn't do that.

After all, Shi Yunjun is backed by the Imperial Observatory, which must be a very high-ranking official. Zheng Jihua is just a businessman; he wouldn't go against the government.

However, what he was saying now made Yan Yun sense danger.

If that woman was Zheng Jihua's subordinate, Yan Yun shook his head and dismissed the idea; it was too far-fetched.

at night.

Jingyue arrived again, bringing news, which he told Yanyun.

Shi Yunjun is dead, but the Shi family has not publicized his death.

"why?"

Jing said, "Some of the servants in the manor say it's because Madam Shi, who is Shi Yunjun's mother, still doesn't believe that her child is dead, so she's still having the doctor hang him up."

Yan Yun recalled the little medicine boy's mutterings when he met him, and they somewhat matched what Jing Yue had said.

Jing asked Yan Yun, "Is there anything you've forgotten from what you saw that day?"

Because Yan Yun was unfamiliar with the Shi residence, she didn't see much. She did go to the Shi residence to teach Shi Yunjun a lesson, but by a twist of fate, she encountered Shi Yunjun trying to bully a woman again. When she was about to make a move, she found that the woman had already stabbed Shi Yunjun in the neck. Not only that, she also covered his mouth to prevent him from making a sound for help.

After listening to what Yan Yun said, Jing Yue judged, "That woman must be an assassin."

What is an assassin?

This was the first time Yan Yun had heard this word, and it seemed unfamiliar to him.

Jing Yue told Yan Yun, "It is a weapon that kills without leaving a trace, hiding in the darkness."

When Yan Yun heard him mention darkness, she looked at him and asked, "Are you an assassin too?"

Because that's how Jingyue is—he appears out of nowhere, never letting anyone know where he comes from; he's very mysterious, and he can even kill those mountain bandits.

Jing Yue did not answer Yan Yun's question, but instead focused on the origins of the woman from the Shi family and Yan Yun's speculation, "If that person were an assassin, they should have been able to escape, but not only did the assassin not escape, they are now disguised as a woman being bullied by Shi Yunjun."

He told Yan Yun that the Shi family was saying that Shi Yunjun was trying to bully the maid, but the maid had already promised herself to someone and vowed to never obey, so the maid accidentally killed Shi Yunjun. But even if it was an accident, she could not escape death.

Yan Yun also heard that the maid was unwilling to obey.

"Did Shi Yunjun really die?"

"died."

Jing said it was confirmed.

After hearing that Shi Yingjun was dead, Yan Yun's previously uneasy heart immediately calmed down.

He deserved his fate, and this end was retribution.

Will that maid reveal that she saw me?

That's what she's most worried about.

Jing Yue thought for a moment and told Yan Yun that the woman hadn't mentioned discovering anyone else. If she had, there would definitely be a warrant for her arrest in the city, but the city was still quiet.

Yan Yun was originally worried that if she wanted to save her own life, it was possible that she would pin the blame for Shi Yunjun's death on him. After all, she had seen him, and if she hadn't said anything, then it would have been completely unrelated to him now.

Jingyue looked at Yan Yun, noticing that she seemed completely unaffected by the news of Shi Yunjun's death.

He thought of something else.

"Your father is really generous; I heard he bought an academy for you?"

Yan Yun retorted, "You seem to know more than I do."

Jing Yue understood the meaning behind Yan Yun's words.

"Such a large-scale and ambitious undertaking naturally attracts attention."

Yan Yun also pondered whether Zheng Jihua had truly bought the academy for himself.

That's how it seems now, but no one knows what will happen to this academy in the future.

Yan Yun didn't want to talk about Zheng Jihua, so she told Jing Yue to turn away.

"Turn around."

Wait until Jing Ri turns around.

Yan Yun pulled out the altered clothes he had hidden away, quickly changed out of his outer robe, and tidied himself up before leaving the mansion.

Yan Yun walked up to Jing Yue.

Jing noticed that her clothes were different from before, and he immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

Yan Yun made a startling statement: "Go and save that woman."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yue frowned and looked at Yan Yun, his tone turning eight degrees colder: "What a joke! Do you think the Shi family mansion is still a place you can go to and from as you please?"

Yan Yun was naturally aware of the danger.

However, the woman did something good, so Yan Yun felt that even if it was dangerous, she was willing to go, and she had already figured out how to get out of there.

Jing Yue saw through her naive thoughts and almost laughed out loud.

"I'm asking you, do you know what you're saying?"

Yan Yun naturally knew.

"of course."

Jing Yue grabbed her shoulder and said, "Since you know what you're saying, you'd better stay in the manor obediently."

Unfortunately, Yan Yun had already made up his mind and still wanted to give it a try.

Is it true that the black market can do anything?

Yan Yun ransacked the room again, putting all the valuables into his bundle.

Jing Yue immediately guessed what she was going to do.

"Don't tell me you're going to take these things to the black market?"

Yan Yun looked at Jing Yue, somewhat surprised that he had guessed her thoughts.

How did you guess?

Jingyue thought that it would be foolish not to be able to guess.

Going to the black market was better than Yan Yun venturing alone into the Imperial Historian's mansion.

The idea of ​​going to the black market is not something that can't be given a try; it's worth testing the waters with the people there.

"You stay at the manor."

Jing suggested that he would go to the black market.

Yan Yun refused; she was determined to do what she had decided herself.

If we're going to the black market, we'll definitely need the whistle that Jingyue used before. Yan Yun reached out to Jingyue and softened his tone, "Could I use the whistle you used to go to the black market?"

Jing Yue didn't hand it over as instructed, but instead asked Yan Yun, "Do you know what you're going to do?"

He repeatedly asked Yan Yun for confirmation, but Yan Yun knew exactly what he was doing.

"of course."

Jing told Yan Yun directly that he would not give the whistle to Yan Yun.

He gave Yan Yun two choices.

“I will go with you, or you can stay here.”

"Let's go together."

Yan Yun pulled out her bundle and put away almost everything she could think of, including the jade pendant Lu Yan had given her and the hairpin Yun Yi had given her.

Jingyue looked at the bundle that Yan Yun couldn't even lift.

"You don't need to bring too much stuff."

Didn't he tell her last time that they hadn't found anyone yet, and if she gave all these things to those guys, they would run away with the stuff?

Yan Yun also felt that there were too many things, and she couldn't take them with her. She also couldn't ask Jing Yue for help, so she divided a small portion of them to the side.

This time it's finally all sorted out.

"let's go."

Jing Yue took Yan Yun to the black market.

Having been there once before, Yan Yun was no longer as pathetic as last time. Once inside the black market, he was completely clear-headed.

In the black market, people will soon come up to them asking what they need.

Yan Yun told her that she needed someone to help her rescue people.

The other party led Yan Yun through a dark passage. There was a strong smell all around, which made Yan Yun feel dizzy.

Jing Yue grasped her hand and whispered a reminder: "Be calm."
