Chapter 28 That's it
Hearing this, Xiao Yan searched around in the woodshed, and sure enough, he saw a ladder in the corner of the house.

Shen Nanyuan carefully stood guard in the yard, saw him find the ladder and walked out, worried that his arm wound would be serious, and was about to come over to help, when she heard Xiao Yan's voice faintly.

"Come on, I heard someone coming this way."

Feeling guilty, she immediately turned her head and stopped at a secluded wall.

"There should be no one here."

Xiao Yan put the ladder by the wall, nodded, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "No one comes here."

However, the wall of Zhen Guogong's mansion is really high, and Shen Nanyuan found it difficult to climb when she stood below and looked up. She looked sideways at Xiao Yan: "Your arm is still injured, can you climb up?"

"It's just a small injury, nothing."

Holding the ladder, he continued: "Miss, you go up first."

Climbing the wall was obviously done by Meng Chuyue, but now she did it instead.

But with Xiao Yan here, it seemed that it was not as difficult as he imagined. After crossing the Zhenguo Mansion, he hid the ladder so that he could go back later. It was dark outside, with only a faint light on. Shen Nanyuan stood watching His pupils were black and shiny.

"Let's go."

She tilted her head slightly, and she looked extraordinarily beautiful, which made people feel nostalgic: "Let's go buy your favorite candied fruit first."

The light in Xiao Yan's eyes moved: "Okay."

The capital city is extremely lively at night, with heavy traffic and bright lights. There are more people coming and going than in the daytime. Tens of thousands of lights illuminate the entire long street. Pedestrians are constantly coming and going, and the area is bustling.

Xiao Yan had never seen such a capital.

Even after staying in the Zhen Guogong Mansion for more than ten years, I have never seen it.

Occasionally, when he heard servants talk about the bustling scene of the capital at night, he was not interested and had no interest. Now he saw it with his own eyes and realized that it turned out to be such a grand scene.

Just too many people.

He frowned, his eyes were cold and vigilant, his eyes were bottomless, he followed Shen Nanyuan closely, his whole body was tense, protecting her surroundings.

Shen Nanyuan took Xiao Yan to a store where she often came to buy candied fruit. Because she came here often, the store knew her and said to her with a smile, "Young lady is here? Still the same?"

This store not only has candied fruit, but also makes excellent pastries, so if she leaves the house, she will come here to buy some candied fruit or pastries to go back.

"Well, it's the same," Shen Nanyuan said, "Your home's is still the best."

This sentence made the boss smile, and in the end he gave her some more. Shen Nanyuan gave Xiao Yan the whole package of candied fruit, and walked out with him, with a slightly satisfied look on his face.

"Did you see it? Just one sentence made the store give away so much."

Her smug look was a bit cute, Xiao Yan couldn't help lowering her eyes, and a little smile broke out on the corner of her lips.

"Miss is amazing."

"Learn more from me," she held her head high, "Although I don't come out very often in Shaohua Academy, I'm pretty good."

"Yes, Miss is very powerful."

There was a little pampering in the tone, even Xiao Yan didn't notice it.

He opened the paper bag in his hand and handed it to Shen Nanyuan, but she waved her hand: "You eat, I have too much for dinner, I can't eat it for now."

Xiao Yan picked up one and put it in his mouth. It was strange to say that he didn't like it at first, but now he likes it suddenly.

His brows and eyes were gentle, but he still followed Shen Nanyuan closely, not taking a step away.

-

"Hey Junci, look, isn't that Miss Shen from the Duke of Zhen's mansion?"

When Liu Yuli's voice came, Junci, who was drinking, paused for a while, then frowned and looked downstairs, and sure enough, he saw a familiar smiling face not far away.

"It's getting late now," Liu Yuli muttered, waving his fan, "She's a noble lady, so it's a little inappropriate to come out at this time."

Jun Ci exerted a little strength with the hand holding the wine glass: "Don't say anything about it, let's just pretend we didn't see it."

"Sure," Liu Yuli said, "I have nothing against this Miss Shen, so I definitely won't say anything outside."

He glanced at it slowly, his brows slightly raised.

"But is the one next to her a servant of the Duke of Zhen's mansion? He looks quite handsome, and the girls who come and go a lot are all looking at him."

Junci frowned, and his eyes fell on the man who was closely guarding Shen Nanyuan.

"It seems that he and Ms. Shen are quite familiar. If it weren't for the fact that the clothes on his body were not made of good fabrics, I would have thought."

Jun Ci's eyelashes moved and interrupted Liu Yuli's words: "Do you still drink? Pull me here to listen to your nonsense? If you don't drink, I'll go back."

"Hey, drink, drink," Liu Yuli said anxiously, "Look at you, why are you losing your temper all of a sudden?"

He withdrew his gaze, took a big sip from his wine glass, and asked, "When will you go to the Lin Mansion to propose marriage?"

"The 23rd of next month," Junci said, "my father has already agreed."

Since the marriage contract was broken off, his father seemed to know that his heart had been decided, so he gave up his previous attachment. Although he didn't like Lin Yan and felt that her family background was not as good as that of Zhen Guogong, he finally agreed now.

"Very good," Liu Yuli said with a smile, "Then I will wait for your good deeds."

Junci lowered his eyes, he didn't speak, his eyes fell on the cup in his hand, he felt a little anxious for no reason, ever since he saw Shen Nanyuan just now, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He glanced sideways and looked downstairs, but there was no sign of her for a long time.

Liu Yuli just said that the servants around her are outstanding in appearance, and many girls are looking at him, but Shen Nanyuan's appearance is even more stunning, Liu Yuli didn't see it, and many men were looking at her.

It was already so dark.

Junci squeezed the wine glass with some strength, stood up suddenly, and said softly under Liu Yuli's surprised eyes: "Today I will go back first, and you drink slowly."

"Hey, what are you doing so early when you go back, the curfew is still early," Liu Yuli's voice came from behind, Jun Ci didn't care to listen, and walked down the stairs to the outside of the restaurant.

He thought to himself, he and Shen Nanyuan have known each other since childhood, since he saw it, he should send her back to the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

That's it.

Shen Nanyuan was a little tired after walking.

The capital city at night is indeed beautiful, but after the excitement passes, the tiredness comes.

Xiao Yan looked at her sideways, and said softly: "Miss? Go back and rest?"

"Okay," Shen Nanyuan said, "If you don't go back, Qing Yong may find out that I slipped out."
