There is room for the evil peasant woman

But Chen Yuan searched both his and Shen Ran's rooms, but could not find Shen Ran.

Chen Yuan panicked for a moment, nothing would happen!

Thinking about it, Chen Yuan immediately walked outside. He had searched inside the house and found no one, so he had to stay outside.

Thinking about it, Chen Yuan didn't tell Shen Yan because Shen Yan was busy now and Chen Yuan didn't want Shen Yan to worry.

Once outside, Chen Yuan first went to a few places where Shen Ran had been, wanting to see if Shen Ran would be there.

However, when Chen Yuan went to her own field and the small hut where she lived before, she didn't see Shen Ran. Now, Chen Yuan became visibly irritable.

Just when he was about to go home to call his mother, Chen Yuan suddenly saw a familiar figure when passing by a lake. That was... Shen Ran!

Shen Ran sat alone by the lake with his hands and knees, and there were two birds pecking at the edge, as if he didn't notice that there was someone beside him.

"Brother Shen Ran." Chen Yuan walked over and called softly.

But at this time, Shen Ran seemed to be trapped in his own world and did not hear Chen Yuan's voice.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan stopped being anxious and walked to sit down next to Shen Ran, just staying with him quietly.

The sun shines through the sparse clouds and onto the lake, making the waves sparkle and reflect the white clouds in the sky and the trees on the shore. The leaves begin to change color, from emerald green to golden to deep red, like a colorful palette. The air is filled with the faint scent of grass and the fresh smell of lake water, making people feel temporarily comfortable...

After a long time, Shen Ran seemed to wake up from his own world. He felt someone sitting next to him. His eyelashes trembled slightly and he lowered his eyes, "Why... why are you here?"

Chen Yuan handed a small wild flower she had just broken off from the roadside to Shen Ran, "What, can't I come?"

Shen Ran lowered his eyes and took the little wild flower, "That's not true."

"Why did you suddenly come out alone?"

Chen Yuan's voice became obviously colder.

"I……"

Shen Ran glanced at the little wild flower in his hand, "I just want to be alone."

"Can you tell me?"

"Ok?"

"why?"

The air was silent for a moment, and the bird next to it fluttered its wings and landed on the grass not far away, looking for food carefully.

Just when Chen Yuan thought Shen Ran wouldn't say anything this time, "Forget it..."

"You should have guessed that I am from the capital." Shen Ran suddenly said. Although he had told Shen Yan about this, he had not told Chen Yuan explicitly.

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded lightly.

"I just saw someone coming from the capital. He must be Eunuch Wei. I know him. He is the one who serves Emperor Qinglan...I am now a dead person in public. I can't appear in front of them..."

No wonder Shen Ran disappeared after the group of people arrived. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he opened his mouth and whispered: "Mother will protect you, and so will I!"

Hearing this, Shen Ran raised his head to look at Chen Yuan and smiled softly: "Thank you!" These words were sincere. After the incident at Zhenguo General's Mansion, Shen Ran rarely encountered people like this. People like Shen Yan and Chen Yuan.

"I already called you brother, you are responsible for this."

"However, I don't want to implicate my mother because of my affairs. By the way, don't you want to know my affairs? I'll tell you..."

Shen Ran originally wanted to go out to avoid the limelight, but when he saw the scenery around the lake, he suddenly remembered that a manor owned by his family had a similar scenery to this one.

Suddenly, I was struck by the scene and remembered the time I spent with my mother and eldest sister.

Time passed little by little, and a few fallen leaves fell to the lake, making ripples...

"So, you are from the General's Mansion?"

"Yeah." Shen Ran responded lightly. Hearing this, Chen Yuan was silent for a while, "Then do you hate the royal family? Or should we say Emperor Qinglan?"

"Hate it, you should hate it..."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned in confusion: "What does it mean to hate?"

"My grandfather's death is not that simple. The military rations have been cut off for more than two months, and there is no news from the capital. I am not sure whether Emperor Qinglan did this..."

Shen Ran covered his face, he was really useless, after so long, he didn't even know who his real enemy was!

He's so useless...

Suddenly, he felt his shoulders sink, and Chen Yuan put his hands on his shoulders. As if he knew what he was thinking, Chen Yuan comforted him: "Brother Shen Ran, although I know your situation, but... At present, my knowledge is too narrow. I have not been exposed to the worlds you mentioned, so I cannot give you any substantive advice, but I will always be with you, no matter what!"

Hearing this, Shen Ran stiffened.

Then I heard Chen Yuan say softly: "Don't you want five years? In five years, I will be a scholar at most, maybe higher, I'm not sure, but even though I only get here and have no official or power, I believe Whatever you want to do by then, I will definitely be able to help you! What...what are you going to do in five years?"

Chen Yuan looked at Shen Ran. Although Shen Ran didn't look at him, she still held the small wild flower she just picked tightly in her hand.

"What will you do in five years..." Shen Ran murmured again in a low voice, "Go to my grandfather's old subordinates. They said that if I live to be thirteen, they can accept me."

"Live to be thirteen? Have you ever met them?"

Hearing this, Shen Ran nodded slightly, "I've met him, but I only met one person. He told me this."

Hearing this, Chen Yuan frowned slightly, thoughtfully, had he only seen one person?

"A person, are you sure what he said is true?"

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not. I don't have the ability. If I go there, I will only cause trouble for them." Shen Ran gave up on himself.

Hearing this, Chen Yuan said with a look of disapproval: "Brother, how could you say that about yourself? By the way, that day, you were lying on the ground covered in blood. Where did the injuries all over your body come from?"

Hearing this, Shen Ran's eyes darkened: "Yes, a human trafficker!"

"Human trafficker?" After hearing this, Chen Yuan's pupils shrank slightly, "Yes...forget it, I won't talk about it anymore. Today is supposed to be a happy day. Are you in a better mood?"

Chen Yuan stopped talking at the right time.

Shen Ran was silent, still hugging his knees and looking at the scenery in the lake.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan sighed slightly: "Then I will stay here with you for a while."

"No need." After saying that, Shen Ran stood up and patted the grass clippings on his body, "Let's go back."

Suddenly, feeling the hem of his clothes tightening, Shen Ran looked at Chen Yuan who was grabbing his clothes in confusion, asking what was wrong.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Hearing this, Shen Ran reacted and pulled Chen Yuan up from the ground, with a smile obviously in his eyes: "Afraid? Don't worry, Eunuch Wei doesn't know me. I only recognize him and have only heard of him. He has not Met me."

Although Shen Ran said this, Chen Yuan was still worried: "Then..."

"Okay, I am sensible and will be careful. If we don't go back, my mother will come to us!"

My appearance is only slightly similar to that of my parents, far less than that of my sister. When others see me, they won't recognize him.

Shen Ran thought silently in his heart, of course, he didn't say this.
