Unexpectedly, Duan Wujiu didn't even think about it, he just nodded and said, "Yes."

"If not, forget it, wait, what did you say?"

Dou Lianyi blinked and took a moment to react.

"I said I've seen it."

Duan Wujiu responded calmly, his expression as usual.

"Where have you seen it? Whose master does it belong to? Master Duan, can you tell me? I will definitely thank you again!"

Seeing that she finally got the whereabouts of the ring finger, Dou Lianyi asked hurriedly. For fear that Duan Wujiu would not answer her, she moved closer, raised her head, and stared at Duan Wujiu without blinking.

"If I guess correctly, the ring finger Miss Dou mentioned belongs to me."

Unexpectedly, after Duan Wujiu pondered for a moment, he actually identified the wrench.

This made Dou Lianyi speechless immediately, and she couldn't figure out for a moment whether Duan Wujiu was teasing her or whether he was really telling the truth.

After a long while, Dou Lianyi forced a smile and said, "Master Duan is joking, how could that ring finger be yours?"

"Why is it impossible? Is it because this ring ring appeared at the wrong time? Or, what happened between Miss Dou and the owner of this ring ring? That's why you decided it couldn't be me?"

Duan Wujiu squinted his eyes, lowered his head, and stared at Dou Lianyi deeply. His voice was low, but every word carried a sense of oppression that no one could ignore.

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi suddenly felt a little panicked, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Unexpectedly, Duan Wujiu took another step forward, bent slightly and looked directly at Dou Lianyi.

The distance between the two is so close that they can smell each other's unique fragrance.

"Master Duan!"

She swallowed nervously, and her voice rose slightly, "Are you trying to accuse me?"

"Feel sorry."

After Duan Wu Jiu took a deep look at Dou Lianyi, he straightened up and said, "I'm just used to asking people like this. That ring ring is indeed mine, but it was lost a long time ago. It's still there today." I can’t find it, if Miss Dou sees her someday, please let me know.”

Having said this, Duan Wujiu pursed his lips, raised the corners of his lips, and said softly: "I will definitely thank you again."

It was obvious that he was deliberately mocking her with what she just said!

Dou Lianyi puffed up her mouth in anger and wanted to refute, but she saw a young eunuch in the distance holding a palace lantern and trotting towards this side.

Duan Wu Jiu turned his head and looked at Dou Lianyi's gaze, frowned slightly and said, "It seems that someone has come to keep you, Miss Dou, so you can take care of yourself."

Before Dou Lianyi could react, Duan Wujiu had already raised his robe and disappeared silently into the night.

"What do you mean someone came to keep me? Hey, you should explain it clearly!"

Dou Lianyi chased forward a few steps, but it was impossible to catch up with Duan Wujiu, who looked like a ghost. The little eunuch behind her had also reached behind her and called out breathlessly: "Miss Dou, please, Miss Dou." Stay!"

Seeing that she was stopped by the palace people again, Dou Lianyi felt a little uneasy, but seeing that Duan Wujiu left as soon as he said so, there shouldn't be any danger.

"Who is this father-in-law?" "Miss Dou, the servant is Zhou Deshan, who serves the Queen. Just now, Miss Yuzhu came to Fengyi Palace in a hurry. The palace people did not know the identity of Miss Yuzhu, so they brought her to Fengyi Palace." She stopped outside the palace gate and hoped that Miss Dou would not take it to heart."

Zhou Deshan first bowed respectfully to Dou Lianyi, and then explained seriously.

"It turned out to be so."

Dou Lianyi felt a little relieved when she heard that Zhou Deshan was someone close to the empress.

But she still remembered what Duan Wujiu had warned her just now, that even the people in Fengyi Palace were not very safe.

"Then why did Eunuch Zhou call Lianyi to stop?"

Dou Lianyi also nodded friendly to Zhou Fushan and asked cautiously.

Zhou Fushan responded: "It's like this. The Queen fell in love with Miss Dou at first sight, so she wanted to keep Miss Dou in Fengyi Palace for a while."

"The Queen wants me to stay here?"

Dou Lianyi was startled for a moment, originally thinking about how to politely refuse, but Zhou Fushan saw Dou Lianyi's plan and persuaded him first: "Miss Dou, this is the empress's kindness, you'd better obey her."

"I understand. Thank you for the Queen's kindness. However, Lianyi still has to go back to the Prince's Mansion to bring some personal belongings to the palace."

"If you don't need to go back specially, just ask Miss Yuzhu to go back and get it."

Zhou Fushan shook his head slightly, his tone was gentle but he could not refuse.

"Eunuch Zhou, I hope you can be accommodating. After all, there are still many things in the house that I need to deal with. If I stay away for a long time, I'm worried that there will be trouble in the house."

Dou Lianyi poured out all the money in her purse and gave it to Zhou Fushan, with a little pleading in her eyes.

After all, people with short hands, Zhou Fushan saw that the money was not too small, so he accepted it and reluctantly said: "Okay, Miss Dou will go back to the house tonight, but tomorrow she needs to go to Fengyi Palace to meet the Queen. , if something goes wrong, then there is nothing I can do about it."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou. Lianyi will definitely come to Fengyi Palace to pay homage to the Queen tomorrow morning."

Dou Lianyi finally felt relieved. After saying some nice words to Zhou Fushan, she trotted towards Yuzhu.

"Madam! Are you okay?"

Yuzhu waited for a long time and was extremely anxious, like ants on a hot pot. When he saw Dou Lianyi appear in front of him safely, he almost shed tears with excitement.

"I'm fine, I made you worry."

Dou Lianyi stretched out her hand and held Yuzhu's hands tightly. The hands were cold. She said distressedly: "How long have you been frozen? Why are you so stupid!"

"I am scared and worried, but now that I see that you are fine, young lady, I am relieved." Yuzhu sniffed, her usual calmness had long since disappeared, and she swore to Dou Lianyi with a rare expression of emotion: "If something really happened to you, young lady, I would have risked my life by bumping my head into the door of Fengyi Palace and letting the queen make the decision for you!"

"Don't do this," Dou Lianyi squeezed Yuzhu's hand and said word by word: "I didn't let Bai Zhi follow me into the palace at first because I was afraid that she would be too impulsive. Yuzhu, you have a stable temperament. With you here I’ll feel more at ease around you.”

"By the way, madam, here is a small hand stove to warm your hands. Take it quickly, your hands are too cold."

Yuzhu seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly took out a small hand stove that was still warm from his arms and handed it to Dou Lianyi.

"it is good."
