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

Yan Yun left the academy, and it was already getting dark.

Yan Yun looked at the two attendants beside him, because with them there, he couldn't go directly to the Shi residence.

She hadn't thought too much about it earlier because she was organizing the books, but now she was suppressing her curiosity. She wanted to know if those guys in the black market had gone to rescue the maid, and what the current situation was.

Since I went to see it yesterday, I didn't dare to go to the Shi residence again today, otherwise it would be too obvious and arouse suspicion.

Did Jing Yue get involved?

Yan Yun knows nothing at the moment.

When they returned to Zhengyuan, all the guys who had been guarding the gate during the day had dispersed, presumably because Lu Mingyuan had gone back.

Yan Yun entered the gate and did not see Zheng Jihua again.

A servant came to fetch her.

"Miss, dinner is ready."

Yan Yun ate dinner alone; neither Zheng Jihua nor his concubine appeared. Yan Yun seemed to enjoy his meal.

She went back into the courtyard.

The servant from earlier that day was still kneeling in the courtyard. The other servants said he had been kneeling there for a long time, waiting for Yan Yun to return.

Yan Yun didn't understand why he was kneeling here. Hadn't the maid already been brought back from the concubine's place?

He saw Yan Yun return.

She knelt on the ground and thanked Yan Yun, "Thank you, Miss, for saving Mo'er's life."

He has been thanking us from the beginning until now.

Yan Yun felt it was too heavy.

If he hadn't come looking for her, she wouldn't have gone to her concubine's courtyard on her own initiative.

Furthermore, Yan Yun didn't want to say it this way, but the truth was that the maid looked exactly like his former concubine.

The concubine ruined her face, but that was just an excuse to secure her own position. Yan Yun also felt that it would be better for him to leave with the maid, but the maid still wanted to stay.

"Miss, please take Mo'er in the courtyard."

Yan Yun waved his hand, not wanting to dwell on the matter any longer.

She has her own things to do today.

Mo'er's indenture is with the manor, so she is a maid in the manor. If she wants to stay, the steward will make arrangements. I will not keep Mo'er. Even if she begs me this time, Yan Yun will not agree.

She waved for him to go back.

If all goes well, we should know news about Ruqing's younger sister tonight.

When Lu Lan and Zheng Jihua get married, Lu Yan will definitely come back, and Ru Qing will also return to the mansion. Before that, if I can find out where her sister is, that would be a good thing.

Yan Yun returned to her room, and the maids still served her as usual to help her change her clothes, but the original maids were replaced by older middle-aged women.

This is also what a concubine means.

After they were changed, Yan Yun sent them out and locked the door from the inside.

She waited anxiously for Jing Ri to arrive.

They waited and waited, but the sound of the night watchman's drum came from outside, and Jing Yue still did not come.

Thinking about how he knocked him unconscious yesterday and didn't even come today, Yan Yun was a little angry.

Yan Yun found the token that the guy from the black market had given her and took it in her hand. She changed her clothes, took her bundle, and slipped out of the courtyard again.

Following her memory, Yan Yun found the same walls and alleyways.

However, there were no open doors on those high walls.

Yan Yun touched the wall several times but couldn't find anything.

Jingyue brought a whistle with him at the time.

Yan Yun thought for a moment, then pouted and tried to whistle with her mouth.

He peed for a long time.

The old man appeared mysteriously from behind.

"Have we arrived?"

Because you can see the light.

This time, Yan Yun was not intimidated. He raised the sign, and the other party glanced at it while holding a lantern, then handed over the black cloth from before.

"They are indeed guests."

Just like last time, except this time without Jing Yue by her side, Yan Yun still felt a little uncomfortable, but not because of Jing Yue, but because of the spinning sensation. She was still not used to the feeling of dizziness.

Yan Yun covered her face as she went to the place she had arranged to meet that person again.

The place was already waiting for her. Seeing that the other person was alone, Yan Yun didn't know how to start a conversation. However, she noticed the badge on the other person's waist that was similar to the one on her hand.

Yan Yun stepped forward and handed his plaque to the other party.

After the other party took back the plaque, they handed Yan Yun a letter. Just as Yan Yun was about to reach for it...

The other person's hoarse voice reminded Yan Yun, "Has the guest perhaps forgotten something?"

Yan Yun naturally remembered that she put her bundle down and prepared to push it over. Her gaze fell on the letter. "I also have something I need to confirm."

The other party did promise to allow the banquet.

"We will never disclose false information that we find."

"Whether it's real or fake, the thing is right under my feet, I can tell at a glance."

The other party generously handed the envelope to Yan Yun. When Yan Yun tore open the letter, he saw the three words "Drunken Spring Pavilion" written on it.

This name is a bit...

The other party swiftly moved and lifted the bundle in front of Yan Yun.

Yan Yun did not stop him.

The other person held the bundle in their hands and said to Yan Yun, "Please rest assured, guest, you will definitely be able to find the person you are looking for according to the letter."

He left those words and immediately disappeared.

Yan Yun looked at the envelope, still somewhat doubtful of its authenticity. As for the things inside the bundle, they all belonged to Zheng Jihua, so giving them away was fine. If he could get a new message in return, it wouldn't be a loss.

Yan Yun put the envelope away and went to another part of the black market.

How do we find the guy who went to the Shi residence?

Yan Yun walked forward a bit and saw the old man kneeling on the ground. He looked him over carefully, but he wasn't sure if the man was the one who had taken his bundle last time.

The other person looked at Yan Yun and said, "Is there something this guest wants to ask?"

Yan Yun looked at it carefully and found that they did look somewhat similar.

She asked him directly, "You took my baggage, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, the other party threw out the bundle that had been stolen last time from behind.

The cloth wrapped around the banquet was approved.

The old man looked at Yan Yun and said, "He failed."

Yan Yun thought the guys here were invincible, but he never expected that they could also fail.

The other party inquired about Yan Yun.

"Does the customer want to continue looking for someone, or give up?"

Yan Yun looked at the bundle, knowing she couldn't take it back. She wanted to know.

"Is that maid already dead?"

The other party pointed to Yan Yun's bundle.

Yan Yun immediately understood his meaning and opened the bundle. "You can take what's inside, but I need to know what happened at the Shi residence."

The other party took one bead.

"The son of Lord Shi, Shi Yunjun, is dead."

Yan Yun naturally knew about this matter, after all, he had witnessed it with his own eyes, and Jing Yue had also mentioned it.

She wanted to know something else.

"Why weren't they able to rescue anyone?"

"After the maid was captured, she was tortured beyond recognition by Shi Yunjun's mother. The people who went to rescue him were ambushed and, seeing that they could not escape, committed suicide by swallowing poison. They would neither cause trouble for the black market nor expose their customers."

This is what they uphold in the black market.

"Is the person who killed Shi Yunjun also dead?"

"nature."

Although Yan Yun did not have much hope of success, he still felt sorry for the woman who had traded her life for Shi Yunjun's.

After all, it wouldn't be a pity to see such scum die a hundred times.

Having learned from him that the woman was dead, Yan Yun no longer wanted to be interested in Shi Yunjun's affairs.

She looked at the bundle on the ground.

"Once you've given the information, you can choose any of the others."

"Guest, that's enough."

He left the bead behind.

Yan Yun said no more, picked up his bag and left.

Just as Yan Yun returned to the entrance, Jing Yue, who was waiting there, spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.

"You come to these places all by yourself, don't you really know what fear is?"

Yan Yun was not fearless; he simply had more life experience than others.

"I'm here only to take away the information I want to know."

Yan Yun pulled out the envelope in her hand; she had nothing to hide from Jing Yue for the time being.

Jing Yue knew everything she had done.

Jing Yue took the paper from Yan Yun, and frowned when he opened it and read the three words on it.

He looked at Yan Yun and said, "Don't tell me you're just a little girl and you want to go to this place?"

Yan Yun just felt that the name "Drunken Spring Pavilion" sounded a bit vague, and she didn't know where it was.

I was originally planning to look for it during the day tomorrow.

Jing Yue then blurted out, "Little girl, you want to go to this place?"

"Don't go over there."

Hearing him again forbid her from going, Yan Yun felt a little annoyed. She wasn't a child anymore; she had things she wanted to do.
