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

Chapter 158 Getting what you want

Shu Shu said she had come several times, but had never seen the academy open. Yu Zhi said the same thing; she had originally planned to come too. However, the academy gates were always tightly closed.

She naturally knew what had happened at the Shi residence, but she didn't know that what happened at the Shi residence was related to Yan Yun in front of her.

She is no longer timid and afraid to leave the mansion. Her parents said that it was fortunate that Shi Yunjun died early, otherwise they would have been implicated.

Yu Zhi asked where Huiying had gone. Why hadn't she been seen?

They were about the same age, so they naturally had things to talk about.

Huiying left in such a hurry that Yuzhi didn't even know.

Yan Yun said, "She went back to her hometown."

Yu Zhi didn't ask any more questions. It was rare to meet someone of similar age who could talk about everything, so she was naturally happy. Now that she thought about it, it didn't matter.

Shu Shu told Yan Yun that she had another reason for coming: her grandfather was planning to visit Yan Yun's academy.

Although Yan Yun didn't know what had happened between Mr. Shu and Nan Yunjing, she was naturally happy to hear that Mr. Shu was coming to the academy.

Han Shu no longer comes, so the academy still needs a teacher.

Yan Yun's thinking was simple: it would be even better if Mr. Shu were to teach these people.

However, Shu Shu said, "Grandfather is just coming to see you; he's getting old now."

Shu Shu was also a little worried about his health; she had secretly heard her grandfather coughing several times.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yun abandoned his idea of ​​having Mr. Shu teach at the academy.

The group chatted for a few minutes.

Yu Zhi said she was bored staying at the mansion, and now the people in the mansion were starting to arrange marriages for her again.

Yan Yun recalled seeing her meeting with another person at the mansion before, but he couldn't mention this to Shu Shu.

Yu Zhi looked at Yan Yun, who was also unhappy and seemed preoccupied.

She sat for a short while before getting up and telling Yan Yun, "I have to go back to the manor, so I'll be leaving now."

Yan Yun got up and saw her to the door.

Although Yan Yun wasn't particularly close to her, Yu Zhi wasn't a person with bad intentions, based on their interactions.

She told Yu Zhi, "If you like the academy, you can come often. Now that I'm here at the academy, I can know a little about anything you want to know."

Yan Yun understood that since she couldn't meet someone like Mr. Han Shu, she would naturally miss him.

"Although there aren't any good teachers right now, I can teach Yu Zhi if she's willing to learn."

Yu Zhi covered her mouth and smiled at Yan Yun, saying, "Of course I want to learn too, but the people in the manor have already started arranging marriages for me, wanting me to get married as soon as possible. I heard it's because they're worried about the country..."

Yu Zhi stopped herself before she could finish speaking, saying, "I dare not say these things."

Yan Yun looked around and, finding no one following, took Yu Zhi's hand, and the two walked to the side.

Yan Yun spoke up, "Although this is your private matter and I shouldn't interfere, I saw you with other people at the manor that day."

Yu Zhi looked at Yan Yun in alarm, but said somewhat calmly, "That day I thought someone might have heard it. It turns out you really did hear it."

Yu Zhi said to Yan Yun.

She did indeed have someone she liked, but that person came from a poor family and was not the kind of person her parents would choose.

Yan Yun asked, "Then where is he now?"

Yu Zhi replied, "He has already gone to the southern border, following the First Prince."

Yu Zhi told Yan Yun that when he left, he told her that the Crown Prince's trip to the Southern Border was a test from His Majesty the Emperor.

If the eldest prince can successfully resolve the matter in the southern border.

After his return, the position of Crown Prince would inevitably belong to the First Prince. At that time, his status as the First Prince's attendant would naturally be different from before, so he asked Yu Zhi to wait for him.

But Yu Zhi was naturally worried about the battlefield.

Yu Zhi said somewhat awkwardly, "I shouldn't be telling you these things, but these things are buried in my heart, and I always feel like I can't breathe. I just want to talk to someone about them."

Yan Yun understood that the fact that she dared to say these things meant that she trusted him.

Yan Yun took her hand and said, "It's already very good that you're willing to tell me."

In the past, girls like them rarely had the opportunity to talk to people their own age; they were always confined to their rooms.

The fact that Yu Zhi's parents allowed her to come out shows that they aren't such unreasonable people.

"Since he is willing, you should just wait for him."

Since it was her parents' decision, Yan Yun couldn't offer much advice.

That person wasn't one to use sweet talk, and everything they did was planned out, so there was no need to worry too much about them.

Yu Zhiyu felt much more relaxed after talking to Yan Yun.

She returned to the carriage and waved goodbye to Yan Yunyi with reluctance.

"We'll have to wait until next time to see you."

Yan Yun nodded.

When Yan Yun returned to the academy, it was quite lively. The women, who also liked the lovely girl Shu Shu, took turns presenting her with all the unusual things they had made.

All the delicious food and fun activities were given to Shu Shu.

One of the women was waiting for Yan Yun, and when she saw him return, she immediately went up to him.

"Miss."

Yan Yun recognized her as the person he had taken away last time. Thank goodness it was her; she was quick-witted and not too dull.

Yan Yun praised what happened last time, saying, "I should thank you."

The man, upon hearing this, naturally dared not listen to Yan Yun express any gratitude.

She felt that a woman as loyal and devoted as Yan Yun was truly rare in the world. "It is our blessing to follow a mistress like you, Miss."

Yan Yun replied, "You call me Miss, but I have never treated you as servants."

Shu Shu also praised it from the side.

"That's right, it's rare to find a kind-hearted woman like Sister Ning'er."

Shu Shu is quite precocious for her age, and she knows more and more things to say.

Qing'er was even happier to hear others praising her young mistress.

But now she is still in pain, and even when she smiles, her whole body aches.

Yan Yun said that she hadn't fully recovered from her injuries when she rushed out.

I just saw her run out; I'm afraid all her wounds are about to burst open.

Qing'er stubbornly denied it.

The people at the academy said that the New Year is almost here, so they prepared a meal at the academy for the young lady to eat together.

Yan Yun also agreed to come along.

I never expected time to pass so quickly; another year has gone by in the blink of an eye.

"I will definitely come and savor your cooking when the time comes."

Yan Yun did not stay at the academy for long.

Qing'er wanted to go back with her, but Yan Yun kept her at the academy.

“Even if you want to come back to me, you should at least be fully recovered. I’m worried about you going back to me in this condition.”

Qing'er said she was almost fully recovered.

But when Yan Yun asked to see her wound, she stammered and couldn't speak.

The lie will fall apart on its own.

Yan Yun was about to escort Shu Shu back to her residence when Shu Shu told him something else.

That's Ruqing's younger sister.

Shu Shu now often visits Nan Yunjing's residence, and naturally, she often runs into Ru Liu.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she told Yanyu that she didn't like that woman at all, and she didn't like him at all. She always felt that the way he looked at Brother Nan was strange.

Hearing Shu Shu's words, Yan Yun looked at Shu Shu. Although she didn't want to think this way, she always felt that Shu Shu cared too much about Nan Yun Jing.

Yan Yun looked at Shu Shu and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Shu Shu raised her hand and held up a number, an eight.

That age is still too young.

For Yan Yun, the fact that Nan Yunjing saved Ru Liu was partly a coincidence.

However, a little affection can develop between a man and a woman.

It's not a big deal, of course. Although Ru Liu herself doesn't understand, if Nan Yun Jing doesn't like her, he naturally won't stay in the manor.

She did want to advise Shu Shu, "You should be more open-minded about these private matters."

Shu Shu summed it up in one sentence: "She doesn't like that woman."

After they took her back to the Shu residence.

Yan Yun happened to run into Nan Yunjin, who had just returned.

I remembered Shu Shu saying that she didn't like Ru Liu.

After all, Ru Liu was Ru Qing's younger sister, so Yan Yun still mentioned, "Young Master Nan."

Nan Yunjing stopped and looked at Yan Yun.

Yan Yun took it upon himself to speak about Ru Liu. Shu Shu is now close to Nan Yun Jing's residence and often visits it.

Regarding Ru Liu's identity.

Young Master Nan, you can find some information to tell Shu Shu.

Nan Yunjing frowned slightly and looked at Yan, "What are you talking about?"

Yan Yun said directly, "Since you've taken Ru Liu into your household, you should make it clear whether she's a concubine or some kind of maid. Otherwise, the confused Shu Shu won't know, and even Ru Liu herself won't know."

Nan Yunjing looked at Yan Yun and said, "I asked you to give me money in exchange for the person, but you were reluctant to part with him. Now you're even giving me orders about things at my residence."

Yan Yunke didn't mean to give any orders, so she immediately explained that she certainly wouldn't dare to give any orders, but was just a little sad because of what the little dumpling had just said.

Yan Yun could give money, but now that Ru Liu won't leave, what can be done? The silver notes offered to him were torn up by Ru Liu.

Judging from Nan Yunjing's somewhat displeased tone.

Yan Yun immediately realized he had spoken out of turn and apologized to Nan Yunjing, saying, "I was too talkative. I shouldn't have interfered in Young Master Nan's affairs. Please take your leave today."

Yan Yun turned and left without lingering for a moment.

Nan Yunjing watched her retreating figure from behind and shook his head helplessly.

Meanwhile, Mo'er was pacing anxiously at the mansion. Why couldn't this young lady listen to anyone or follow any arrangements? The adults had told her to stay at the mansion, but she just wouldn't listen.

She looked at the black eagle in Yan Yun's room, which lay listlessly on the ground.

Mo'er, however, had other things on her mind.

If the black eagle doesn't behave well, then the young lady naturally won't want to run away all the time.

As soon as Mo'er had this idea, she immediately moved closer to Black Hawk.

But just as she took a few steps closer, the white eagle swooped in again and threw the insect it had brought at her face.

Mo'er screamed in fright and ran away from Yan Yun's room.

Yan Yun returned to the room and heard that scream.

Without much thought, one could easily guess what had happened inside the house.

Bai Ying never liked Mo'er.

Yan Yun thought of Jing Yue again. It had been a long time since he had heard from him, and he didn't know where he had gone.

Five days after Zheng Jihua left the mansion, he returned.

He still went to Yan Yun's room to see Yan Yun.

Seeing Yan Yun obediently staying in the courtyard, he felt much calmer. He looked at the maid beside him and instructed, "When you see Mo'er coming, tell her to come to the study to find me."

It was getting dark.

Mo'er walked towards Zheng Jihua's study.

Then, a stone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and reached out to block Mo'er from going any further.

"It's already night, don't go over there, the adults need to rest soon."

How could Mo'er miss such an opportunity? Looking at the stone in front of her, she said without any mercy, "Don't keep appearing in front of me. You clearly know what I want, but seeing you makes me feel like I can't do anything."

Stone lowered his head and apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I failed to protect you."

Hearing his words, Mo'er suddenly burst out laughing.

"Protect me? You think you can? Don't be ridiculous."

She reached out and pushed the stone aside, then went straight to the study.

But Zheng Jihua was different in the study than usual.

He did not remain as lucid as usual.

The floor was littered with empty bottles, all of which had spilled their contents.

Mo'er felt a little uneasy, so she reached out and knocked on the door.

"grown ups."

She spoke softly, and Zheng Jihua responded, "Come in."

Mo'er peeked inside; the room was dark because the lights weren't on yet.

She stepped inside.

Seeing Zheng Jihua lying on the ground, she was worried. She immediately squatted down and reached out to help Zheng Jihua up. "Sir, how could you sleep on the ground?"

Zheng Jihua was not sleeping on the ground; he had simply drunk too much and was lying down on the ground carelessly.

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, he mistook her for the person from his memory.

He reached out and grabbed Mo'er's hand.

She gently asked Mo'er, "Is it you, Xiang'er? You've come back to find me."

Mo'er listened to those two words.

Xiang'er?

She thought about the names of the two ladies, but one was named Lu Lan and the other Jiao Yun, neither of whom had this so-called Xiang'er.

And who is this Xiang'er?

She watched as Zheng Jihua held her hand, then looked up at him, afraid that he would open his eyes.

Zheng Jihua spoke to her with his eyes slightly narrowed.

Mo'er looked at that face, and her heart immediately started pounding wildly.

"Big, my lord."

Her heart skipped a beat.

But a different thought arose in his mind as he looked at the person beside him.

She stepped forward and bolted the study door, then said to Zheng Jihua, "My lord, I am your Xiang'er."

Stone was devastated by Mo'er's departure.

After the master returned to his residence, his subordinates kept a close watch on him. Shi Tou was well aware of Zheng Jihua's drunken state in the study.

Mo'er went over at this time.

Shi Tou was worried, but he also knew that Mo'er was definitely going to do something.

He felt a little worried, so he followed.

When he followed them into the study and heard those unspeakable sounds, his heart was torn apart.

He wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he saw Yan Yun standing to the side.

It was no coincidence that Yan Yun came here.

Lu Lan asked her to come, but Lu Lan didn't ask her to come directly.

Lu Lan only told Yan Yun.

Her third brother sent her a letter, which she remembered was left in the study, and told Yan Yun to come and pick it up herself.

I saw the stone standing in front of the door.

And then I could hear those disgusting sounds coming from the study again.

Yan Yun immediately knew what was happening inside.

Shi Tou called out to Yan Yun in a panic, "Miss, Miss."

Zheng Jihua has now become like a wildcat in heat, searching everywhere for people.

The sound of the stone, neither too loud nor too soft, brought Zheng Jihua to his senses slightly. He raised his head and opened his eyes to look at the people below.

Mo'er's hair covered her face.

She reached out and brushed the strands of hair from Mo'er's face, revealing her face.

Zheng Jihua's face immediately turned as black as charcoal.

"Who are you."

That sound made Mo'er feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She answered softly, "I, I am Mo'er."

Looking at her shy and bashful appearance, it was hard to believe that her face was completely scalded beyond recognition.

Zheng Jihua's wine was naturally scared away and left completely empty.

He clearly remembered that the person next to him was Xiang'er, so how could it be this girl?

Zheng Jihua didn't say much; he pulled over a piece of clothing and put it on.

Mo'er reached out to grab him, but Zheng Jihua slapped her hand away.

"You dare to touch me with your hand? You've got some nerve."

Hearing Zheng Jihua's cold voice, Mo'er immediately knew it was her own face.

She immediately knelt down before Zheng Jihua and admitted her mistake, "It was this servant who lost her mind, please forgive this servant, sir."
