er of blood, three feet wide.No wonder my senior sisters' eyes glistened with the fervor of gossip. Sixth Senior Sister scrutinized every corner of my room, looking for any clues.But Mu Wanchen came a...The next morning, I woke up feeling a little unwell — there was no warmth of Mu Wanchen's body beside me.

"Mu Wanchen" I sat up and called out.

He wasn't in the room, the bed curtains were lifted with a hook, and there was still a hint of lingering intimacy in the air.

I jumped out of bed and walked barefoot to the three-dimensional bathroom behind the screen. Mu Wanchen wasn't here.

The three-dimensional bathroom doorway rug was soaked with water....

How should I explain this water to Fifth Senior Sister

My phone is gone, and I've lost all my documents and luggage. If I really had to drive back honestly, it would be easy to get pulled over.

My own identity is easy to check, just report my ID number. But there are two "unknown" people in the car.

Now I want to see the time, but I can't find my phone. I have no choice but to put on my clothes and slowly go downstairs.

As soon as I reached the doorway, I saw my older sister rushing past from the front. She looked at me from afar and froze for a moment: "Little Luo, why are you up so early"

"Huh What time is it now..." I yawned.

My sister walked over and gave me a shoulder rub. "You're up early," she said, "It's already seven in the morning on the second day."

7:00 AM the next day

"Are you still asleep! You started sleeping as soon as you got home, slept for half the day. We wanted to wait for you to eat dinner together, but Mu Wanchen came out and said you were too tired, so he let you keep sleeping. He ate dinner with us, then had tea and chatted with Dad, and then went back to your room to watch over you...and then you slept another whole night You must have slept for twenty hours!"

My sister looked at me with a speechless expression.

“......I slept for so long... no wonder I'm all weak and my back aches from sleeping.” I stretched.

My sister gave me a look of disdain. "Your backache is probably from something else, isn't it"

"Huh"

She pointed to my neck. “The hickeys are showing!”

"Ahem, ahem... Sister, how come you never spare me any mercy Getting married is totally normal, right" I flustered and quickly straightened my collar.

"Getting married, getting married... How old are you Other girls your age are only dating."

“Then you’re older than me, why don’t you go find a boyfriend” I said with a yawn.

My sister glared at me: "Who am I dating I don't have your thick skin... They say we're betrothed, but who admits to it You better watch yourself, silly girl."

I was taken aback. Seeing my sister's worried face, she rarely said such things.

She is introverted and a bit timid. Even though we are very close, she rarely talks to me about these kinds of "secrets".

"...Where did I go wrong Why would I need anyone's approval to be with Mu Wanchen My family's approval is enough. He's not an ordinary person, is he going to get a marriage certificate with me That's unrealistic." I said, stroking my chin.

My sister rolled her eyes: "You're so young and acting like you're already married. I'm worried you'll get carried away with love and not think things through, you know Are you seriously thinking about having a baby You're just… how old are you!"

" I will be careful. "

This question is too embarrassing, this is the

nth time

I hesitated and walked towards the front yard. It was early morning now, with a cool breeze blowing.

A maple leaf fluttered down, swaying and drifting past the blue brick and grey tile walls of the courtyard, landing on the long corridor of my home.

I saw Madam Mu, that is Master Yunfan's wife. Her bodyguard brought her a cushioned armchair and she was currently sitting beside my fish pond, watching the fish.

That little fish pond... what's so good about it... It's just decoration. Those ten or so koi inside are supposed to be quite valuable, but I haven't seen my father care much for the fish pond.

It's just used for showing off sophistication, but when Madam Mu sat here, paired with the backdrop of the bleak autumn wind, the atmosphere instantly came alive.

I've also heard the senior sisters gossiping, Mrs. Mu comes from a distinguished family, not only with noble roots but also well-educated.

See, Madam Mu seems to be thinking about something. She's pregnant and can't run around carelessly, so she probably feels stuffy in the courtyard and came out for a walk.

I felt I shouldn't disturb her, but not saying hello wouldn't be polite. Just as I was hesitating, her bodyguards had already seen me and immediately whispered to Madam Mu.

Mrs. Mu immediately turned to look at me, quickly got up, and greeted me: "Yin Luo, you're here! I was so worried about you all."

"Uh... sorry to worry you all." I stammered back.

Mrs. Mu walked over to me, took my hand, and whispered, "I received the message and immediately contacted the Coast Guard through family channels, but the sea is vast and boundless. That ship is likely operated by experienced individuals; they shut off their signals to evade searches, so we haven't found it for now... Alas, when it involves overt actions, we are restricted at every turn. I apologize for the trouble this has caused you."

I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, no, I didn't suffer much. Look at me, I'm alive and kicking... Mrs. Mu, you're too kind. There's nothing to apologize for I should be thanking you for all your trouble."

Mu's wife raised an eyebrow and smiled helplessly. "Oh... you call me Mu's wife so naturally... My name is Lin Yanqin, why don't you just call me Yanqin"

"Very well, very well, Greetings Master Yan Qin."

"You're so sweet." She shook her head with a smile and said, "Don't call me old!"

"This isn't about age, we place a lot of importance on seniority. You are the wife of Yun Fan Shibo, so of course I should treat you as an elder, even if you're younger than me, you still have to call him Shibo." I answered with a chuckle.

"Oh, you're so sensible..." Teacher Yan Qin smiled helplessly, her face showing displeasure.

I scratched my head and asked, "Master Yanqin, if you have something to say, just say it straight. Did you suffer any grievances at my place"

Yan Qin's master stammered, hastily waving his hand and saying, "Of course not, it's just... I feel like your family..."

"How's my family" I looked at her, puzzled.

My family has always been like this, a big and happy family, kind and gentle. As long as you don't provoke my Senior Brother Jun, everyone is very easy to get along with. It shouldn't be the family members who made Master Yan Qin unhappy, right

Yan Qin's master said in a hushed voice, with an embarrassed look on his face: "That... some things I say might be offensive, so please forgive me if they are. During the time I've been staying at your home, I've noticed some clues that seem to suggest... that some people in your family are rather suspicious..."

>aoqiao, the junior wife, who is also said to be a special advisor. As a result, most of the Shen family's business is conducted officially, making it difficult for ordinary mages to compete with them....
