It's already evening.

Unknowingly, the day just slipped away.

Shen Lian left the palace.

Standing outside the palace, watching the bustling crowds coming and going, and listening to the lively and familiar voices, Shen Lian slowly showed a smile.

After a few months, he came back again.

Back to the most familiar place.

Likewise, it is also his home place.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and slowly blended into the crowd.

Walking among the crowd, watching the people bargaining with the vendors, and listening to the people's lively discussions about today's case, Shen Lian just felt that this was his favorite atmosphere.

Noisy and bustling.

Full of life.

This world is too cold.

The people you love most will sometimes betray you behind your back.

Some people will gradually drift with the tide in this cold world.

Some people feel that the nature of this world is so cold, so why should they be enthusiastic?

Therefore, most people will assimilate with the world.

But Shen Lian is different.

Because of each case, he has seen more of the dark side of the world than anyone else.

However, he never thought about being assimilated into the cold world.

What he wanted to do was to stir up the light in this world with his passion.

He hopes that this world will be more warm, more innocent, and less sinful.

He does not want to be assimilated by the world, he hopes that he can change the world!

Let this world be more full of humanity.

Just like the fireworks-filled streets of Chang'an in front of you, the noise never stops, but everyone will show a real smile.

Everyone will feel that there is still something to be happy about in this world.

stop-and-go.

As Shen Lian, he walked uprightly in Chang'an City.

It wasn't until this moment that Shen Lian felt that he was truly back.

Unknowingly, Shen Lian walked through the crowded crowds, the lonely bluestone road, and the sparsely populated alleys.

He saw the backs of a family of five, saw the place where he had fought in the alley, and saw some shadow guards hiding in the dark, protecting him with concern.

Everything is exactly as it was before leaving Chang'an.

In Chang'an City, he could finally be lazy.

He no longer has to worry about other people's safety, he doesn't have to be careful about his words and deeds, and he has to bear all the pressure on himself.

Here, he can temporarily let go of all the shackles.

You can really have a good night's sleep.

Shen Lian stopped and looked forward. The door of his house was in front of him.

It's still that dilapidated little courtyard.

It is still that small courtyard that is completely incomparable to the mansion of a wealthy family.

An ordinary fence, a small vegetable garden, and a very simple thatched house.

This is his home.

Shen Lian pushed open the courtyard door and walked into his home.

Although his home was very shabby and not luxurious at all, the moment he stepped into the house, Shen Lian felt that all the fatigue in his body seemed to be swept away.

How wonderful the outside world is.

It can't compare to the warmth of your own home.

Shen Lian chuckled, unlocked the lock, and opened the door.

For nearly half a year, my home has been filled with dust.

When he returned home, he found that Chang Le was not there. He opened all the doors and windows first, then found a rag, filled it with water, and prepared to clean the house.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Master Shen."

Shen Lian followed the sound and saw Wang Xiaohua standing at the courtyard gate, looking towards him along the tip of her toes.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Come in."

Wang Xiaohua quickly smiled and nodded, pushing the door open and entering.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to find my home."

Wang Xiaohua giggled and said, "I didn't waste the few days of leave Mr. Shen gave me. I already know where all the adults' mansions are."

At the same time, she secretly said in her heart, the first thing I am looking for is your home.

Shen Lian nodded and praised: "Yes, as a member of Dali Temple, you may go to various places to handle cases in the future. It would not be good if you don't even know where those places are."

Shen Lian said: "Come to see me for anything?"

Wang Xiaohua shook her head and said, "I'm here to help Mr. Shen."

With that said, Wang Xiaohua grabbed the rag from Shen Lian's finger and said: "I know that your home must be full of dust, and as a man, you are definitely not good at doing these things, so I came to help you."

While talking, Wang Xiaohua started working quickly.

"Sir, you don't have to be polite to me. I work very quickly. Your house is not big. I can clean it up in an hour at most."

Wang Xiaohua seemed to be afraid that Shen Lian would not let her help. As she spoke, she secretly kept away from Shen Lian to prevent Shen Lian from taking back the rag.

Naturally, this little thought cannot be hidden from Shen Lian's eyes.

Shen Lian looked at Wang Xiaohua, his eyes were a little gentler, and he said, "You actually don't have to do this."

Wang Xiaohua shook her head: "I do."

Wang Xiaohua took the initiative to help Shen Lian clean his house, which was indeed a great help to Shen Lian.

Although Shen Lian has lived alone since he was a child, he has already developed a self-reliant character.

But it is not an easy task to clean a house that has been unoccupied for half a year.

Not to mention it will be dark soon.

In ancient times, it was not as obvious as electric lights. Although candles had light, their brightness was limited.

Therefore, he had to clean it up before it got completely dark.

Due to various circumstances, Shen Lian was very grateful to Wang Xiaohua for coming to help him.

However, Shen Lian did not watch from the side like an old man. He also picked up the rag and wiped it together.

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly said: "Lord Shen Lian, why don't you do it yourself? I'll do it."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "I have lived alone since I was a child, so you don't have to think of me as a person who has nothing to do with wealth. I am not that rich."

Wang Xiaohua also inquired a lot about Shen Lian.

So she knew that Shen Lian was orphaned at a very young age and it was really not easy for a person to grow up alone.

This made her feel a little sad for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian didn't know that Wang Xiaohua was feeling sorry for him. He smiled and said, "Please stay for dinner later. Although I'm not very good at cooking, I can still cook some dishes. If you help me, I should give you some gifts in return." Just don’t refuse.”

When Wang Xiaohua heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you know how to cook?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "I have lived alone for so many years. If I don't cook for myself, I will starve to death."

Wang Xiaohua stuck out her tongue.

She said: "Then I won't be polite to you. I also want to taste your craftsmanship myself."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's easy to talk about."

The two were chatting and laughing while busy.

At this time, there were some voices outside the door.

"Master Shen, I'm here."

A familiar voice.

Then there was the familiar sound of the door opening.
