Shen Yanhuan paused on the spot, thinking that the two of them were going to fall in love together, so it was nothing for her to go with him. The situation in front of me was a bit trivial, so I nodded to him cautiously, and then I just stood there not knowing what to do.
Duanmu Qinghan averted his gaze and looked at Shen Yanhuan. He suddenly stepped forward and said humbly and politely: "I bumped into the girl last time. I'm really sorry."
He was not a sinister-looking person originally, but the cold and aloof impression he had when they first met was too profound, so Shen Yanhuan deliberately reminded him, "It's okay to touch him, but I wish you don't get angry anymore."
"I was very emotional that day, and I apologize to the girl here." The other party was not angry, and still admitted his mistake gently.
Shen Yanhuan pursed her lips and said nothing, staring at Duanmu Qinghan's face carefully. The autumn sunshine was just right, and the face of the person in front of me became softer and warmer. Could it be... is this person actually like this

Wu Sheyue followed Yu Jing to a place a little further away. She finished talking about Wu Yin'er along the way, and then added: "At first, I thought she wanted to make me nervous and make mistakes, but from Mrs. Wu's point of view, Judging from the looks of it, what she said must be true."
Yu Jing half-armed her shoulders and asked, "Do you know why she helped you."
Wu Sheyue sighed, "She has wanted to join hands with me many times before, but I refused. I don't know Aunt Zhao's background. Wu Yin'er seems simple but has a lot of thoughts. I don't think we are suitable to join forces. , it’s better to work independently and occasionally help each other. I thought she would be too lazy to pay attention to me after so long, but this time... "
She felt irritated, but actually she had not told Yu Jing the whole story. Wu Yin'er's show of kindness to her started when she first emerged. At that time, she felt that she was not worthy of anyone's respect, and she simply thought that Wu Yin'er was kind. But later on, there was always a hint of weirdness in Wu Yin'er's kindness, which made her want to take precautions.
She is not herself, does not know Wu Yin'er from the past, and does not know how to make this comparison.
Seeing her anxious expression, Yu Jing rubbed her hair and said softly, "Then just think about it yourself. I'm not completely clear about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I can't give you any advice. Besides, aren't you quite smart? ~But since this person is a friend rather than an enemy, we can still help each other more in the future. The main thing is that we can benefit ourselves. You just have to control it."
"Yes." Wu Sheyue nodded lightly, thinking that it seems possible that Wu Yin'er is sincere...
"By the way, what should we do about what she said? Let's leave it here today. I have a mysophobia about men."
What is mysophobia? Yu Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'll handle this matter myself."
As for the move of Mrs. Wu of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is really too weak. It is not as straightforward and troublesome as the move of the old concubine herself. Yu Jing knew that Wu Sheyue was right. In fact, things should not be like this...
After the two of them were relieved, Wu Sheyue took Shen Yanhuan and left. After all, this was the excuse to go out, so she had better not be too perfunctory.
When she returned to the previous yard, Shen Yanhuan was still talking to Duanmu Qinghan, but when she saw the two of them coming back, she tacitly shut her mouth.
After Wu Sheyue led the people away, Shen Yanhuan looked back at Yujing's shop and asked, "Hey, that man... why hasn't he left yet? Didn't you say you want him to return to Mingqi early?"
Wu Sheyue said casually: "I don't know, Yu Jing means that he will stay here for a while."
"Oh~" she said, looking back a few times.
Wu Sheyue had something on her mind and didn't pay attention to Shen Yanhuan's little actions. She suddenly thought of something and said, "Please help me find something for him to do and ask him to be busy." She felt that Duanmu Qinghan had stayed behind. He wanted Yu Jing to help him. Although they were good friends, Wu Sheyue just felt that he wanted to embarrass Yu Jing...
Shen Yanhuan rolled his eyes, "Since he is from Mingqi, then, we should find a way to take him around Longfu."
"That's right." Now that we've come here, wouldn't it be a shame not to travel to a foreign country? "You have something to do, right?"
"Uh... I, almost." Shen Yanhuan blinked and added, "I'll try it tomorrow."
"That's good~"

After Wu Sheyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she randomly found a gadget she made and handed it to Xiao Ling, telling her, "Go and deliver this to Miss Fifth."
"Ah?" Xiao Ling took it over suspiciously and asked, "Why is the young lady suddenly thinking about the fifth young lady?"
"It's just a polite return gesture, go ahead."
"Hey~" Xiao Ling responded, immediately turned around and ran away.
Wu Sheyue looked at the sky outside. It was fine in the morning, but dark clouds started to gather just after noon. She held her chin with her hand. Wu Yin'er should understand...
It started to rain again that night. It is said that one autumn rain and another cold weather mean that the rain will not clear up for several days. It's a rainy day like this that makes people stay at home. Wu Sheyue doesn't go out, and I don't know if Shen Yanhuan went to help Duanmu Qinghan.
And what happened next was really like the weather, a violent storm.
More than half a month later, the top rankings from the previous autumn test were finally released. Although it was raining heavily, there were still a lot of people gathered around to watch, and they were even more noisy in the pouring rain.
However, the list that came out early in the morning was torn down before noon, leaving only the onlookers looking at each other in confusion. Then several teams of people came out of the palace, and officials entered the palace one after another despite the waterfall of rain.
This day happened to be the full moon of Wu Zian and Wu Zilan, and Wu Hantian didn't even have a sip of wine. Seeing him hurriedly leave the table after getting the news, Wu Sheyue knew that the things Yu Jing had been busy with had paid off.
Wu Hantian didn't come back for a whole day. In the evening, Sisi came back from inquiring about the news.
The rain wet the corners of Sisi's skirt. As soon as Wu Sheyue saw her, she asked, "What's going on outside?"
"Something happened to His Majesty the Crown Prince." Sisi closed her umbrella and ignored the water vapor. She came to Wu Sheyue and whispered in her ear, "I heard that the examiners of the autumn examination were targeted by the emperor, and Mr. Zhang was beheaded at that time. What's the matter? We're still investigating. It's rumored to be cheating."
Wu Sheyue nodded. It seemed that Xin Yu had done anything to put his own people in power. She must have been a step slower than others in asking questions casually and calmly. Those other people should have known about it a long time ago~
"What's the reaction from other yards?"
"The eldest lady cried for a while, but the old lady was as usual. There was nothing else."
"I understand, just keep asking people to watch." (To be continued)
