Seeing Shen Jiuliu's attitude, he wouldn't give up until he found out something.

Rong Xian shook her sleeves without saying a word, her eyebrows lowered so that her expression could not be seen clearly.

Shen Jiuliu pursed his lips, his cold expression full of seriousness and determination: "Xiaoxian, don't hide it from me, I want to know..."

"Okay, I'll tell you everything." Rong Xian said simply.

Shen Jiuliu's words were interrupted, the corners of his mouth moved, and he looked a little confused, as if he was confused by Rong Xian's unreasonable behavior.

He prepared a lot of words of comfort, but unexpectedly none of them were used.

Shen Jiuliu coughed dryly, and felt that the discomfort in his heart just now disappeared in an instant, and a faint sense of weakness arose. He said dryly: "...Xiao Xian, you say it, I will listen."

Rong Xian walked lightly to the table and put away the bamboo slips on the table. She coughed a few times due to discomfort in her throat, and sighed softly: "Why do you need to get to the bottom of it? Isn't it good to be confused?"

"How can it be good for you?" Shen Jiuliu turned around, with tenderness and fear on his face that he was not aware of: "Xiao Xian, I'm afraid I can't afford the price of being confused."

Rong Xian understood his persistence, curved her lips and smiled, saying nonchalantly: "You just think too much, I just have a little typhoid fever."

She took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, then said in a hoarse voice: "Let's go and see Mu Mu."

Shen Jiuliu: "..." Don't leave in a hurry. Aren't you talking about explaining? Please explain quickly, I'm waiting.

Rong Xian seemed to have read through his thoughts. She was about to say something, but suddenly paused.

She remained suspiciously silent for a moment, and then asked with a hint of worry: "That's it, if I explain it to you, will you cover your ears and shout heartbreakingly, 'I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen'?" "

Shen Jiuliu: "..."

Shen Jiuliu almost twitched the corner of his mouth. He felt that Xiaoxian might have some misunderstandings about him.

Shen Jiuliu said helplessly: "Don't worry, Xiaoxian, I won't be like this..."

He paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "My little daughter is acting pretentious!"

Rong Xian said with a pure face that she believed him, no, she believed his words, and told him - "Don't worry Jiu Liu, I'm just asking casually."

Shen Jiuliu tried hard to suppress his cold expression, and even felt a little broken inside.

Xiaoxian laid so much groundwork, yet she just asked casually.

In order to prevent the topic from getting sidetracked again, he worked hard to bring the conversation back to the real thing.

He first emphasized: "Xiaoxian, I don't have that bad habit of being pretentious."

Then, with a serious expression, he said: "Xiao Xian, don't worry." You explain, you should explain it clearly quickly!!

Rong Xian sighed softly, and dropped the previous topic calmly, saying in a helpless tone: "What else does Jiu Liu want to hear? Didn't I just say it? I just have some typhoid fever."

Shen Jiuliu's expression cracked: "Your explanation is that you have typhoid fever?"

Rong Xian closed her wide sleeves and said innocently: "What else?"

Shen Jiuliu:!!

What if you have deep difficulties in making a promise and have no choice but to do so? What if someone persecutes you but cannot express your promise?

I was ready to go through fire and water, but found that I had expressed my wrong feelings again.

Seeing the cracks in Shen Jiuli's prepared expression, Rong Xian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She could guess what Shen Jiuli was thinking without even asking.

She seemed to sigh: "It turns out that in Jiu Liu's heart, he has always thought about how to save the poor and innocent me from the deep and fiery hell of the City Lord's Mansion with all his strength. I am really touched."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, pretending to shed tears of gratitude.

Shen Jiuliu: I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel embarrassed.

"But in Jiu Liu's heart, he actually planned to sacrifice his life for the sake of me who was 'suffering silently', and to regard death as home. This is really——" Rong Xian drawled her voice, and the implications were self-evident.

Shen Jiuliu, who wanted to escape this embarrassing atmosphere, couldn't wait to answer: "You don't have to be moved."

Rong Xian followed her words closely and said: "——Think too much."

Shen Jiuliu: "..."

This is a little embarrassing, okay?

After a while, Shen Jiuli silently walked to the bookcase and picked up the medicine box, and said nonchalantly: "Xiao Xian, let's go quickly, Mu Mu's condition cannot be delayed."

He wailed in his heart, he actually had no tacit understanding with Xiaoxian, and the imaginary connection between them was just a fantasy.

He lowered his head depressedly, pretending that nothing happened just now.

But Rong Xian, who had been poked and hurt by him before, would not simply let him go.

Rong Xian deliberately breathed a sigh of relief and said bluntly: "I thought Jiu Liu was going to tell me how you, You Feng and the others discussed rescuing me and what kind of escape route they planned."

Shen Jiuliu's ears turned red. What he had thought was a matter of course before, why now he felt a sense of shame when Xiaoxian said it.

Seeing his gesture, Rong Xian accepted it and stopped.

She changed the subject and said seriously: "Since there is no problem in staying for a long time, let's go see Mu Mu."

After a pause, she turned to look at Shen Jiuliu and asked uncertainly: "Jiuliu has no doubts, right?"

Shen Jiuliu nodded quickly, not daring to say another word for fear of trapping himself again.

Rong Xian lowered her eyes and smiled softly, a faint light flashed in her eyes.

She deliberately exposed her flaws to let Shen Jiuliu notice her strangeness, otherwise how could she have so many loopholes in what she was trying to cover up.

But the result made her a little disappointed. Shen Jiuliu didn't get to the bottom of it or think about it deeply.

Rong Xian glanced at Shen Jiuliu with unknown meaning. Hmm, is this person just too stupid to notice, or is he too timid to dig deeper?

Shen Jiuliu didn't know what Rong Xian was thinking. After getting Rong Xian's consent, he quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Yun Youfeng was leaning on the tree and Fen He was sitting on the stone table by the bamboo forest. Linglan came over and looked at Yun Youfeng. Yun Youfeng jumped from the tree and smiled: "It seems that you have resolved the internal conflict."

Rong Xian stood at the door and smiled at him, praising sincerely: "Youfeng is thoughtful and as smart as ever."

Yun Youfeng: Although I was praised, I didn’t feel happy.

Shen Jiuliu walked out of the door carrying the medicine box. When he passed the two maids at the door, he paused for some reason and suddenly asked: "Doctor Rong will go out for medical treatment later. Do you need to ask the city lord for permission?"

The maid on the left bent over and replied seriously: "Young hero, there is no need to be like this. The city lord once ordered that Doctor Rong can go wherever he wants, and he can come back to see his wife when he is free."

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Jiuliu's eyes. Qingbo did not restrict Xiaoxian's freedom. Could it be that he had guessed wrong?

He walked to Yun Youfeng and suddenly realized that the person behind him had not followed. He called out in a cold voice with a hint of gentleness: "Xiaoxian, let's go."

Ling Lan snorted coldly and jumped to Shen Jiuliu's side, not leaving even half a step away. She would not give Rong Xian a chance to be alone with her junior brother.
