What to do if you receive the wrong package?

Gu Yan touched the little thrush in his hand, held it up in front of him, and whispered, "Little thrush, let's go find Jiang Si again."

"Chirp chirp chirp."

Seemingly sensing the change in Gu Yan's mood, Little Thrush gently poked Gu Yan and chirped lightly.

Hurry up, or your man will be stolen away.

Gu Yan straightened her clothes and immediately headed back towards the reception building. But as she walked, Gu Yan realized that she seemed to have forgotten the way she came.

She already had a terrible sense of direction, and since she had been so angry when she arrived, she had no idea how she got there. Helpless, Gu Yan had no choice but to ask for directions as she walked towards the welcoming building.

However, because asking for directions took some time, Gu Yan hadn't even reached the welcoming building when he bumped into Jiang Si, who was walking hurriedly, and Shangguan Yanlin, who was following behind him.

"Ah Si!" Gu Yan waved and called out to Jiang Si.

Looking at Gu Yan not far away, Jiang Si's expression, which had been expressionless, suddenly changed, and he seemed to warm up.

He smiled slightly and immediately strode towards Gu Yan. The moment their eyes met, Jiang Si's heart softened. He reached out and gently took Gu Yan's small hand in his, asking softly:

"Why did you come out of the manor? And you're all alone."

Gu Yan felt the warmth of Jiang Si's palm and quickly raised the little thrush in his other hand, blinking its lively eyes.

"The little thrush knew I missed you, so it brought me here to find you."

Jiang Si's lips curled up slightly, his heart filled with uncontrollable joy.

"I miss you too."

When the little thrush saw the two meet, it chirped twice and flew away from Gu Yan's hand.

Finally, the master and mistress have met, and I can leave in peace.

Shangguan Yanlin, who was standing beside the two, was stunned by Jiang Si's change. She had never seen the aloof and taciturn Jiang Si become so "tender".

"Oh, Miss Shangguan?" Gu Yan, seeing Shangguan Yanlin's surprised expression, suppressed a laugh and took the initiative to greet her.

"Ah Si, so the person you're supposed to pick up is Miss Shangguan."

"Yes, I received a letter from the Second Elder saying that Junior Sister Shangguan was coming to Zhongjing. Since she had never left the sect alone before, he asked me to look after her."

"Ahem, Miss Bai." Shangguan Yanlin, who had finally come to her senses, could only smile and reply after hearing Jiang Si's explanation.

But what exactly is the relationship between Senior Brother and this Miss Bai?

He ignored her completely back then at the Kunlun Restaurant, but now he's so close to her. It's really hard to understand.

“In that case, Ah Si, why don’t you accompany Miss Shangguan to stroll around Zhongjing and experience its prosperity?” A sly glint flashed in Gu Yan’s eyes. As she spoke, she ran away from Jiang Si’s grasp, walked smilingly to Shangguan Yanlin’s side, and enthusiastically pushed her toward Jiang Si, pointing to the bustling street beside them.

“Miss Shangguan, there are so many fun things to do in Zhongjing. Let A Si show you around for a couple more days.”

Jiang Si glanced silently at his right hand, which Gu Yan had released, and then watched as she effortlessly pushed Shangguan Yanlin to his side. He couldn't help but frown, feeling a strange sense of irritation.

He subtly moved a few steps, trying to grab Gu Yan's arm again, but Gu Yan nimbly dodged him.

Jiang Si's agitation grew stronger and stronger, his handsome eyebrows furrowed tightly, and the surrounding air seemed to cool down.

"I have important matters to attend to, so there's no need to tour Zhongjing for now. I'm a bit tired from just arriving in Zhongjing today, so I'll head back to rest first. Brother Jiang Si, Miss Bai takes her leave."

Shangguan Yanlin sensed that Jiang Si had become radiating coldness again, so she quickly shrank her neck, took a few steps back, and hurriedly excused herself.

After watching Shangguan Yanlin walk away, Gu Yan also sensed the change in Jiang Si, sighed helplessly, and waved to Jiang Si, "Come here."

Jiang Si didn't understand why Gu Yan was rejecting his touch, but he didn't know what to do, so he obediently walked to Gu Yan's side and whispered, "A-Yan..."

Actually, the moment Gu Yan saw Shangguan Yanlin, she suddenly remembered the grievances she had suffered at the Yingbin Building. She had originally wanted Jiang Si to experience the feeling of being treated coldly by the person she liked, but upon hearing Jiang Si's low voice tinged with grievance, she suddenly thought it was better not to, since it was all caused by her own overthinking.

Gu Yan softened his attitude and took Jiang Si's hand, "Let's go, I'll tell you the details when we get back to the manor!"

After the two returned to the Prince's residence, Gu Yan took Jiang Si directly back to their lodgings. The moment Gu Yan saw the stone bench, his eyes lit up and he wanted to run over and sit down, but he was stopped by Jiang Si after only two steps.

Oh right, there's still one thing we haven't resolved.

Gu Yan turned around and shook their clasped hands.

"Actually, I deliberately dodged it just now."

"Why?" Jiang Si asked, somewhat confused.

"Because I'm angry!"

Gu Yan threw herself into Jiang Si's arms, burying her face in his chest, her voice muffled.

"I went to Yingbinlou and heard the waiter say that you shared a room with a girl. Then I went upstairs to find you and overheard Miss Shangguan calling you Brother Jiang Si and asking you to accompany her to Zhongjing. I was so incredibly angry at that moment!"

Listening to the complaints of the person in his arms and sensing Gu Yan's jealousy, Jiang Si actually felt somewhat happy. He gently hugged Gu Yan and said with a hint of apology, "This time I didn't think things through. I'll explain things more clearly next time."

"Hmph," Gu Yan lifted her head from Jiang Si's arms, pouted and continued fiercely, "From now on, you're not allowed to let her call you Brother Jiang Si."

"Okay!" Jiang Si smiled indulgently at Gu Yan.

"But you can't avoid me anymore, or I'll be sad."

Hearing Jiang Si's straightforward words, Gu Yan nodded heavily and made his promise.

Just as the two were chatting, Bai Hongsheng rushed in, excitedly shouting, "Second Sister, come quick! Sister Mumu and An'an are back! They met Sister Xiaohong!"

The two followed Bai Hongsheng quickly to the front hall, where they saw Shen Mujin drinking her tea in one gulp, while Xuan Yi stood considerately by the side with the teapot, waiting to refill the water. Not far away stood Su Xinian and Lin Mu'an, looking slightly anxious.

"Mumu, I heard you and An'an ran into Xiao Hong?" Gu Yan asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Yes. We met them." Shen Mujin looked towards the door. "Where are the others? Why are there only the two of you?"

“Yueya, Huabao went with His Highness and the Young Master to Shaolin Temple. They might not be back for a while. Why don’t you tell us first?” Gu Yan quickly explained.

"Sister, where did you meet Sister Hong? Is Sister Hong alright?" Su Xinian was eager to know about Sister Hong.

He was about to move closer when the man next to Shen Mujin stopped him and glared at him.

Shen Mujin gave Su Xinian a reassuring look and gently patted Xuan Yi's arm away.

"Don't worry, Xiaohu, your sister Hong is fine."

Then Shen Mujin recounted everything that happened to her at Mengci Nunnery.

"Actually, when An'an and I went there, it was similar to what happened to Ayan last time—there was hardly anyone there. But when we came out, we ran into a carriage delivering vegetables to Mengci Nunnery. I was thinking of checking the location of the back door of Mengci Nunnery, but I didn't expect that Xiao Hong was among the people carrying things out of the back door. Judging from Xiao Hong's attire, it looked like she had been forced to become a cook."

Hearing Shen Mujin's description, Su Xinian seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Sister Hong is a very good cook, it's possible that she was forced to become a cook."

"If Xiaohong is a cook, then why doesn't she try to escape from Mengci Nunnery?" Gu Yan stroked his chin and asked.

Shen Mujin analyzed, "Perhaps she is willing but unable. Although there is no one guarding the back door, it's hard to say what will happen inside. Moreover, she is not the only one in the kitchen, so it would be very difficult for her to escape unnoticed."

"Xuan Yi, with your excellent lightness skill, didn't you go and scout out the kitchen?"

Xuan Yi shook his head. "The Mengci Nunnery is not simple. There are at least seven or eight experts hiding in the shadows. I dare not get too close, for fear of alerting them."

Gu Yan was slightly shocked. "My God, I didn't even notice it last time I went there."

"With your abilities, you probably wouldn't even notice them standing right in front of you."

"Hmph," Gu Yan glared at Xuan Yi, too lazy to pay him any attention.

"Alright." Peacemaker Shen Mujin is back online. "Now that we know Xiao Hong is really at Meng Ci Nunnery, the other girls who were arrested should also be at Meng Ci Nunnery."

"It's been a long time! Finally, some good news after all these days."

"Good news? How did you know we had good news?" Zhou Yuran asked immediately after hearing Gu Yan say good news as soon as she entered the room.

"Huh? You're back? Tell me quickly, what good news do you have?" Gu Yan immediately turned around to look at Zhou Yuran and the others who came in through the door.

"Guess who we saw at Shaolin Temple?" Zhou Yuran winked mysteriously.

Shen Mujin and Gu Yan exchanged a bewildered glance before immediately turning their attention to Hua Yin on the other side.

"Don't look at me! I wouldn't dare say that." Hua Yin quickly raised her hand to distance herself. "But I can give you both a heads-up, one of you is a girl."

Gu Yan: "Miss? You wouldn't happen to be Sister Lin, would you?"

"Haha, you're only half right. We did meet Miss Lin at the Shaolin Temple, and we even helped her a lot."

"Moon Girl, stop keeping us in suspense. After you finish talking, Mu Mu has more good news to tell you."

Zhou Yuran nodded to Shen Mujin and said seriously, "Do you remember what Sister Lin said about that Miss Wang being accompanied by a girl when she was at Mengci Nunnery? When we arrived at Shaolin Temple, we happened to see Miss Lin following her, and Your Highness and the Crown Prince immediately helped to arrest that girl."

"Oh? What about Sister Lin? Didn't she come back with you?"

Hua Yin shook her head and explained, "Sister Lin was afraid of running into Prince Ning in the mansion, so she didn't come along."

"I see. Where is that girl being held now? Hehe, I'm a little curious." Gu Yan looked outside the door, but there was no one else in sight.

Hua Yin: "His Highness has sent Jian Yuheng to interrogate him. Let's see if we can get any information."

Gu Yan nodded knowingly and then told Zhou Yuran and the others about the good news that Shen Mujin had discovered.

Then, seeing the different expressions on everyone's faces in the hall, and fearing that the matter to be discussed was "not suitable for children," he had no choice but to let Bai Hongsheng take Lin Mu'an out of the hall to play in the courtyard.

"Fourth Brother, can I go to Mengci Nunnery? I promise I won't do anything reckless." Su Xinian looked at Duan Chenke and asked anxiously.

Duan Chenke did not give a clear answer, but instead asked, "What's the point of going if you can't even see Xiao Hong?"

"Although I can't see Sister Hong, I want to be closer to her."

Duan Chenke patted Su Xinian's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Axi, your sister Hong will definitely rescue her. The most important thing right now is to figure out how to avoid the eyes and ears of those experts and sneak into Mengci Nunnery."

"Why don't we start with the delivery person?" Xuan Yi thought for a moment and said. "The farmer who delivers the vegetables must have a long-standing partnership with Meng Ci'an. If it's a new person, they'll definitely be suspicious. But if we can hide in the car and have the delivery person personally deliver the vegetables to Meng Ci'an's kitchen..."

"That's an idea. But how do we find the vegetable delivery person?"

"King of Chu, do not worry. I have already sent my men to secretly follow the farmer. We will find him soon."

"If you really do manage to infiltrate the kitchen, as you say, what are your plans?"

"Let's ask Xiao Hong for help, and work together from the inside and outside," Jiang Si, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

Seeing that the boys had already started discussing the rescue operation, Gu Yan couldn't help but move closer to Zhou Yuran, point outside to her, and then slowly move outwards.

After watching Gu Yan slip out, Zhou Yuran and the others also came out of the house.

"Ayan, you're not going to join in the fun again, are you?"

"You understand me best, Hua Bao. I'll just take a look from afar. Please take me to see it."

Hua Yin shrugged helplessly. "I'd like to take you with me, but I don't know where Jian Yuheng is interrogating you."

"That's hard to say. If you can't find your way, just look for Da Huang!" Without saying a word, Gu Yan immediately ran into the yard and picked up Da Huang, who was fast asleep in its kennel.

"Big Yellow, take us to find the young master."

Big Yellow stretched sleepily, looked at the four girls beside him, shook his head, raised his nose to determine the direction, and then decisively walked forward.

A short while later, Dahuang stopped at a guarded yard.

"Wow, I didn't expect Dahuang to be so amazing," Hua Yin exclaimed in surprise.

Zhou Yuran patted Hua Yin. "You'll get used to it. The first time I was shocked by Da Huang, I almost thought it was going to become a spirit."

Big Yellow probably knew that this wasn't the place for it, so it walked to a sunny spot in the corner, casually lay down, and continued sunbathing.

Gu Yan pushed Zhou Yuran to lead the way. Unexpectedly, after glancing at them, the guards took the initiative to lead them into the interrogation room inside.

The girls followed closely behind the guards, especially Gu Yan, who was somewhat afraid of such places after her experience in the torture chamber since her last arrest. She could only hold tightly to Shen Mujin's arm, not daring to glance around for fear of seeing any bloody scenes.

When they arrived at the inner room, they stood at the door and did not go in, nor did they see the violent scene they had imagined.

The inner room was divided into two parts, with a row of railings in the middle. Jian Yuheng sat at a table outside the railings, with two guards standing behind him. The captured girl sat on a chair inside the railings, her feet chained to the chair.

The interrogation room was dimly lit, and the girl behind the bars had her head down, making it impossible to see her face clearly. But the more Gu Yan looked at her, the more familiar she seemed, until he noticed a touch of crimson on the woman's fingertips.

Qin Miao'er!?

The girl who was captured was actually Qin Miao'er!
