Chapter 97 Leave quietly
After Zhou Ran finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but the woman stopped her and said, "Wait..."

When Zhou Ran turned around, the woman looked unnatural and said, "Can I stay at your house for a few days?"

After saying these words, the woman seemed to have overcome her shame, and what she said next became much more natural: "I was going north to Guning Mansion to do business, but I didn't expect to be targeted by robbers. All the goods I brought were I was robbed by them and separated from the guards around me. Now I don’t have any money left to stay in an inn. Can you take me in for a few days? When my guards come to find me, I will let them pay you."

After listening to the woman's words, Zhou Ran understood why she had to dress up as a man. In this era, women had many inconveniences when going out to do business. Dressing as a man could save a lot of trouble.

However, Zhou Ran did not agree to her immediately, "I will discuss it with my husband."

Zhou Ran came out and told Ye Ximing about the woman's situation, and also said that she wanted to stay at home for the night. Finally, she said: "I think the way she talks seems to come from a wealthy family. She doesn't look like a bad person. We want to Why don’t you help her?”

Ye Ximing smiled and nodded, "Okay, since A'ran wants to help her, let her go back with us later."

After Ye Ximing agreed, Zhou Ran went to the house to help the woman out and put her on the carriage, then took the medicine the woman needed before returning to the county yard.

After placing the woman in an empty room in the west wing, Zhou Ran went back to his room and brought a set of his own clothes to the woman and gave them to her.

"I don't have any men's clothes at home that are suitable for you. You can make do with my clothes for the next few days, okay?"

When the woman woke up and found that her wounds had been bandaged, she knew that her disguise as a man had been exposed. She accepted it well after hearing what Zhou Ran said, "Okay, thank you."

Zhou Ran put down her clothes and was about to leave, but after raising her feet, she remembered that the woman was injured on her right shoulder. She stood still, pointed to her clothes and asked, "Do you need my help?"

The woman nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."

Zhou Ran smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome."

Zhou Ran helped the woman change into clean clothes, then got up and left.

After Zhou Ran left, the woman touched the wound on her shoulder, lay down on the bed and closed her eyes.

In the middle of the night, the light rain that had been falling all day stopped. Zhao Wu, who was sleeping soundly in his room, suddenly heard several whistles of different lengths.

Zhao Wu woke up and listened attentively, but there was no sound. The night became quiet again.

Zhao Wu didn't sleep soundly for the rest of the night, but he didn't hear the sound of the whistle again, which made Zhao Wu couldn't help but wonder if he heard it wrong just now.

The next day, when Zhou Ran and others got up, the woman had not yet gotten up.

Ye Ximing went to the street to buy breakfast, and Zhou Ran helped the woman prepare medicine. The woman came out of the house. However, her right shoulder may have been injured and it was not convenient to comb her hair. She came out with her hair loose and her clothes were also wet. Not very neatly dressed.

"Are you up? Are you feeling better?" Zhou Ran asked with concern.

The woman nodded and said politely: "Thank you for your concern. It's much better."

After eating and drinking the medicine, the woman went out for a walk and then returned to the room.

After that, throughout the day, the woman basically stayed in the room except for coming out when eating. That night, Zhao Wu heard the sound of the whistle again, and the whistle seemed to come from the house of the woman who lived diagonally opposite him.

The next day, Zhao Wu told Ye Ximing about this. After hearing this, Ye Ximing said quietly: "She should be contacting her bodyguard. You should pay more attention to her on weekdays. As long as she doesn't do anything that harms her family, don't worry about her. If she wants to leave, there’s no need to stop her.”

"Okay." Zhao Wu agreed.

This night, Zhao Wu still heard the woman's whistle, but unlike the previous two nights, this time after the woman's whistle ended, a similar response came from far away.

Zhao Wu regained his energy. He waited in the room for almost half an hour. Another short whistle sounded outside the yard. Then the door of the room diagonally opposite to him was gently opened. The woman living inside gently opened the door. He walked out of the room quietly and opened the courtyard door from the inside.

Zhao Wu originally thought that the woman was leaving, but after a while, the woman came back. But a moment later, footsteps sounded again, the woman left the yard again, and then there was the sound of the door being gently closed.

Zhao Wu waited in the room for a while, and there was indeed no movement. He opened the door and checked, and saw that there was no other abnormality except that the room was empty. Even the door was re-opened from the inside. It's blocked.

Zhao Wu guessed that the woman's guards might have blocked the door and climbed over the wall.

The next day, after Ye Ximing and Zhou Ran got up, Zhao Wu told them that the woman left at midnight last night.

Zhou Ran was a little strange, "Why didn't she wait until dawn before leaving?"

Ye Ximing smiled and said: "Maybe there was something urgent, so I left as soon as the guards came to pick me up, but it's okay to leave."

Zhou Ran nodded. Indeed, although she felt that the woman did not look like a bad person, the words the woman said were only her one-sided words. She lived at home, so they had to be careful. Now that she has left, They no longer have to worry about her having bad intentions or getting into trouble.

As for the reward the woman mentioned before, Zhou Ran didn't care.

But when Zhou Ran went to clean up the room where the woman had lived, she discovered that the woman had actually paid her. Under the pillow were two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels.

It can be said that the money was spent very generously. Including the money for medical treatment at Ping'an Hall, the woman spent a total of less than twenty taels of silver at Ye's house in the past few days. This was considered a tenfold return.

If the woman had given it to Zhou Ran in person, Zhou Ran would definitely not take it, but she secretly put the money under her pillow. Now that the woman has disappeared, Zhou Ran can't return it to her even if she wants to.

Zhou Ran took the banknote and told Ye Ximing about it. Ye Ximing smiled and said, "I won't go back anyway, so just keep it."

Seeing that Zhou Ran's expression was still a little tangled, Ye Ximing shook his head and said: "If you feel bad about it, just use this money for Liuguang Pavilion's daily expenses. Just think of it as that woman using this money to help women from poor families. "

Zhou Ran's eyes lit up, she bent down and kissed Ye Ximing, and said with a smile: "My lord, you are so smart. Thank you, I will take this silver note to Gou Sheng right now."

Ye Ximing reached out and hooked Zhou Ran's waist, pulling Zhou Ran back who was about to run away after the kiss, "I gave you such a good idea, and you want to run away after kissing me?"

Zhou Ran sat on Ye Ximing's lap and said with a blushing face: "Then what do you want?"

Ye Ximing lowered his head, pursed her red lips, licked and bit...
