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

Chapter 132 Arrival at Shu Garden

Yan Yun didn't know how to answer, but Qing'er explained, "Miss was afraid of burning Miss Shu, so she tried it, not because she wanted to drink it."

Nan Yunjing was stunned, his ears turned red, and he immediately turned his head away.

Yan Yun shook his head helplessly.

After the medicine cooled down a bit, I slowly fed it to Shushu spoonful by spoonful.

Nan Yunjing said softly to Yan Yun, "You should go and rest first, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Yan Yun, however, felt that he should be the one resting, while she could rest in the carriage.

Yan Yun pointed to himself, indicating that he should stay.

Nan Yunjing was also unwilling to leave, and the two pushed each other back and forth, but in the end neither of them left.

Qing'er made a makeshift bed on the floor to rest.

When it's almost dawn.

Shu Shu opened her eyes and saw Yan Yun leaning against her, but hadn't said a word yet.

Nan Yunjing held up a finger to her.

He gestured for her to be quiet.

Shu Shu glanced at the outer robe draped over Yan Yun's shoulder and immediately knew whose it was. She smiled.

Nan Yunjing reached out and covered her face with his hand. The guy who was almost scared by her, what was he still laughing about?

Shu Shu grabbed his hand and whispered, "Brother Nan, I can hear you singing to me and comforting me."

Nan Yunjing vehemently denied it: "No."

"You have."

Yan Yun was also awakened by the little dumpling's voice, and she moved her body.

Nan Yunjing quickly pulled his outer robe back and draped it over his shoulders.

Yan Yun opened her eyes and saw Nan Yunjing walk out. She was about to chase after him when she remembered that the little dumpling was still in bed.

She turned around and saw the little dumpling sitting there, completely different from how it had been yesterday when it was convulsing and unconscious. Now it was sitting there healthy and well.

Yan Yun reached out and hugged her tightly. Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

Shu Shu smiled even more happily, and with Yan Yun's warm embrace, she snuggled even closer.

No one mentioned what happened last night again.

Sima Yue instructed the cook to prepare a lot of light and suitable dishes for Shu Shu to eat, and she ate quite a lot.

When we resume our journey.

Han Shu also tried asking, "If you're not feeling well, have someone send you back to Yuanjing. What if something goes wrong on this long journey?"

Shu Shu said to him in a coquettish tone, "Grandpa Han, I'm fine. I know you're worried about me."

Han Shu snorted coldly, "Why would I worry about you?"

Listening to their back-and-forth conversation.

Yan Yun felt as if no assassination attempt had occurred last night.

She looked at Nan Yunjing from the ranks, but could only see his back. He stood straight and tall on his horse, seemingly without the slightest fatigue, even though he hadn't slept all night.

Yan Yun leaned against the carriage, feeling somewhat strange.

Why was it Nan Yun Jing who was assassinated? Even if someone were to be assassinated, it should have been the Third Prince, Sima Yue.

Who is hiding in the shadows, plotting against Nan Yunjing?

Yan Yun couldn't get an answer, but he remembered that when he was still at Changgu City Academy, he thought Nan Yunjing was quite skilled. Thinking about it carefully, he felt more and more that he had made the right choice.

If I had learned martial arts from him, I would definitely be more agile and powerful than I am now. Unfortunately, I still vividly remember how he rejected me without any mercy back then.

The little dumpling looked at Yan Yun and asked, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Yan Yun heard her voice and, being rather bored, wanted to ask about Nan Yunjing. She looked for the bundle Zheng Jihua had prepared, and Qing'er immediately took out the box that Sima Yue had given to Yan Yun earlier.

This was only after Zheng Jihua learned that the items were a gift from the Third Prince to Yan Yundi, and immediately had her maid pack them into her luggage.

He thought that if they had a chance to be alone on the road, they could bring up this thing and have something to talk about.

Yan Yun tried it and found it quite good, but when faced with someone who couldn't read, he could only accept his bad luck.

After three days and two nights of travel, we finally arrived at Changgu City.

Seeing the familiar mountain peaks in the distance, Yan Yun felt a sense of unfamiliarity, yet at the same time, he also felt a sense of returning to his roots.

She looked at the ancient city not far away, and had so many things she wanted to do.

The little dumpling couldn't wait and was about to jump out of the window, but Yan Yun pulled her back.

When Han Shu saw her outrageous behavior, he immediately scolded her, "Since you're not listening, I'll send you back."

Han Shu suddenly looked at Yan Yun and asked, "Where is that old man Shu Qinghe buried?"

Outside the carriage, it was still dark. Yan Yun pointed in one direction, which was the hill in front of the road.

Mr. Shu's grave is there.

Thinking of Mr. Shu, Yan Yun couldn't help but look at Shu Shu beside him.

She had no idea that her grandfather, whom she had never met, was buried on that hillside.

"Follow me down from the carriage."

Yan Yun thought that Han Shu was going to take Shu Shu to pay respects at Mr. Shu's grave.

Han Shu, however, said that his back was aching from sitting, and if he didn't walk around, his bones would fall into the carriage.

Nan Yunjing also gazed at the hill where Mr. Shu was buried. He jumped off his horse and walked.

Even though they came from Yuanjing, they had to go through layers of questioning before being allowed to pass through the city gate of Changgu City.

The guards who were stationed in the city were completely different from those guys who used to just loaf around.

Han Shu said that he hadn't expected that this ancient city would be guarded so diligently, which was a good way to prevent foreign invasion.

Yan Yun harbored resentment in his heart, unaware that not long ago, this place was still where the city lord and the mountain bandits colluded.

This time, Yan Yun thought they would be staying at an inn.

Han Shu's group took them directly to Mr. Shu's courtyard.

Han Shu reached out his hand to Shu Shu.

"Girl, come with me."

Yan Yun followed closely behind.

After Mr. Shu died, his confidants dismissed the servants in the mansion, leaving the courtyard deserted and dilapidated from the outside.

Just as Yan Yun thought there was no one left in the courtyard, Han Shu led his men forward and pushed the door open. Finding it closed from the inside, he spoke into the doorway.

"Guards! Guards! We have come to see you. Please open the door."

Soon someone from Shuyuan came and opened the gate a crack.

Yan Yun recognized him at a glance as the man who was with Mr. Shu.

His hair is now gradually turning white.

He spoke to Han Shu through the crack, “My master has passed away, and there is no one at home, so please excuse me for not being able to entertain you.”

Han Shu pushed Shu Shu out.

"She is Shu Qinghe's granddaughter. We came back this time to pay our respects to Shu Qinghe."

Upon hearing the name of the gentleman mentioned in Han Shu, the man immediately looked down.

The little dumpling met his gaze and was a little scared, while he looked at Han Shu with a look of astonishment.

She didn't understand the meaning behind Han Shu's words.

She looked at Han Shu and asked, "Grandpa Han, is the granddaughter you're talking about me?"

The man seemed somewhat incredulous, scrutinizing the group behind Han Shu with a skeptical look.

He spotted Yan Yun in the group at a glance.

Yan Yun nodded at him.

When he saw that Nan Yunjing was still in the group, the man immediately stepped aside and walked towards Nan Yunjing.

He was also trying to verify it.

Seeing Nan Yunjing nod, she said, "She is the master's granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, tears instantly welled up in the other person's eyes. He suddenly shouted loudly into the empty courtyard, "Sir, they've come back to see you."

Shu Shu was somewhat frightened by his state and hid closer to Han Shu.

The man immediately reverted to his normal self, opening the door and standing warmly beside Shu Shu.

He told Shu Shu that this was the old courtyard of the gentleman, and that the gentleman always stood in front of the gate and looked into the distance.

I asked him about it back then, and he said that he also had someone he missed very much.

The gentleman would always read the letters from the distant capital several times, but later on, fewer and fewer letters were delivered.

Until her husband passed away, he never met Shu Shu, who only appeared in his letters.
