Shu Zhihan sat on the stone bench in the garden, and the words of the green lotus echoed in her head.

The sun shines through the leaves on her face, mottled and disjointed, like a flowing oil painting.

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes, as she watched the flowers swaying gently in the breeze, as if to tell something.

She felt her state of mind mingle with the scene in the garden, as if time had stood still in this moment.

Green Lotus's words caused ripples in her heart.

She began to reflect on her past, those overlooked details, and she felt her heart beating.

Shu Zhihan was immersed in her thoughts, and Luo Jinyu walked slowly towards her.

When he saw her suspicious look, he couldn't help but feel a tenderness in his heart.

He sat softly on the stone bench beside her, his eyes looking at her tenderly.

The breeze was blowing, the flowers in the garden were swaying gently, as if dancing for their encounter, the sun was shining on Luo Jinyu's face through the leaves, and there was a hint of inquiry and concern in his eyes.

"Ma'am, you seem to have something on your mind." His voice was low and warm, like a warm current slowly flowing through her heart.

Shu Zhihan was slightly stunned and turned her head to look at him. There was a deep concern in his eyes that warmed her heart.

She bit her lower lip slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "I'm wondering if it's right or wrong for me to bring my mother out from below."

Luo Jinyu frowned, a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.

He didn't understand why she was thinking about it.

In his opinion, everything she does is out of deep affection for her mother, and there is nothing wrong with that.

He looked at her confused eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of protection in his heart.

He reached out and gently took her hand, wanting to give her some comfort.

He said softly, "Madam, you are a kind person, and everything you do is out of love for your mother. Whether it's right or wrong, it's become a fact. You should let go of the baggage in your heart and not let the past affect your mood."

His words were like a gust of wind, blowing away the doubts in Shu Zhihan's heart.

She looked at him with a gleam of gratitude in her eyes, and at this moment, she felt her heart surrounded by his warmth, as if all her troubles had vanished at this moment.

Shu Zhihan nodded lightly, and the doubts in her heart seemed to be swept away by Luo Jinyu's words.

She felt a lighter than she had ever felt before, as if all the burdens had been lifted at this moment.

She slowly leaned towards Luo Jinyu's shoulder, feeling the warmth coming from him.

At this moment, she seemed to have found a place to rely on, a place where she could live in peace.

The sun shines through the leaves on them, leaving a dappled shadow.

The flowers in the garden sway gently in the breeze, as if dancing for their encounter.

Luo Jinyu felt Shu Zhihan's support, and a tenderness surged in his heart, and he gently hugged her shoulders and made her head closer to him.

He closed his eyes and felt her breath, and at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten time, forgotten everything, and only hoped to be by her side forever.

Luo Jinyu also had doubts in his heart, thinking of what Shu Mu had said before, when he was in the Water Palace, he wanted to figure it out.

He turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Shu Zhihan's side face, the sun shining on her face, making her look more subdued.

He sighed secretly in his heart, he knew that Shu Zhihan was a kind person, but there were some things that he still wanted to figure out.

He whispered, "Madam, I have something to ask you."

Shu Zhihan was slightly stunned, and turned her head to look at him, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Luo Jinyu took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer, "When I was in the Water Palace, your mother once said a word to me, but I can't remember it clearly.

She said, 'Don't let my daughter get involved,' and I kept thinking

What exactly is she referring to? I want you to tell me."

His words made a trace of panic flash in Shu Zhihan's eyes, she didn't expect Luo Jinyu to ask this question.

She bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment, before finally speaking, "Actually, I don't know what my mother is referring to.

But I know she's always worried about my safety.

She used to tell me not to seek the truth of something, because that might be dangerous for me."

Luo Jinyu frowned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He didn't understand why Shu Zhihan's mother would say this.

In his opinion, Shu Zhihan is a kind and brave person, and she should pursue the truth, not run away.

He looked at Shu Zhihan's confused eyes, and couldn't help but feel a desire to protect in his heart.

He said softly, "Madam, I will keep you safe. If you need to find out the truth about something, I'll be there for you."

His voice was full of firmness and warmth, which made Shu Zhihan's heart surge with gratitude.

She nodded softly, her eyes glinting with gratitude.

At this moment, she felt that her heart was surrounded by Luo Jinyu's warmth, as if all her troubles had disappeared at this moment.

Luo Jinyu gently hugged Shu Zhihan and walked along the garden path towards her room.

The sun shines through the leaves, leaving a dappled shadow.

Luo Jinyu felt Shu Zhihan's quiet reliance, and a tenderness surged in her heart.

He walked cautiously, for fear of breaking this tranquility, Shu Zhihan closed his eyes, feeling Luo Jinyu's breath and warm embrace, as if the whole world was still.

They walked through the garden and walked to Shu Zhihan's door.

Luo Jinyu stopped and looked at her gently. He gently helped her to her feet, then let go of his hand.

She had a faint smile on her face, like a spring flower blooming.

Luo Jinyu watched Shu Zhihan enter the room, then turned around and left.

His heart was full of doubts, and he wanted to find out what Shu Zhihan's mother meant by "don't let my daughter get involved".

He decided to look for some clues and figure out what was going on.

He walked through the garden, took a deep breath, pushed open the gate, and walked inside.

He came to Shu Zhihan's mother's residence.

Luo Jinyu looked at Shu Mu, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, he didn't know if Shu Mu would tell him the truth, and he didn't know what the truth was.

Shu Mu looked at him with a hint of vigilance and doubt in her eyes.

Before Luo Jinyu could speak, Green Lotus walked out of the back room and interrupted their conversation.

Luo Jinyu frowned, looking at the green lotus, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in her heart.

Maybe it was because Lu He didn't expect that she would see Luo Jinyu here, she stood there dumbfounded, without saying a word.

Luo Jinyu looked at Lu He's reaction and couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He looked at Green Lotus, trying to see some clues in her expression.

Green Lotus's face turned slightly pale, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Luo Jinyu didn't know what answer he was looking for, but he knew that this answer must be related to Shu Zhihan's mother.

Luo Jinyu glanced at the green lotus meaningfully, then turned around and left Shu's mother's room.

He walked down the hallway, the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves, the sun dappling his face through the cracks in the leaves.

He took a deep breath, but his heart could not be calm, he felt himself getting closer to the truth, but at the same time he felt an invisible resistance.

He walked through the garden to his study.

Luo Jinyu sat at the desk, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were deep.

After a while, Meng Haowen hurriedly walked in, with a little anxiety on his face.

He walked over to Luo Jinyu

, and whispered, "General, I just got the news that you are back, so I hurriedly ran back."

"General, did you get any useful news from going to Ming Capital this time?"

Luo Jinyu simply told him that when they came back this time, they brought Shu's mother back.

Meng Haowen was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Then where is she now?"

Luo Jinyu raised her eyes to look at him, with a bit of deep meaning in her eyes: "Brought to the mansion, I have already asked my subordinates to arrange a place for her."

Meng Haowen was silent for a moment, and then said, "General, did you go to Ming Jingcheng this time to investigate your wife's background?"

Luo Jinyu didn't answer, just looked at him lightly.

Meng Haowen knew in his heart that Luo Jinyu already had his own plans, and he knew that he shouldn't ask too much, so he retreated.

Luo Jinyu sat in the study, thinking about the next plan.

He knew that in order to find out Shu Zhihan's life experience, Shu's mother was the key, and he had to get some useful information from her.

He needs to get to know Shu Zhihan more deeply and solve the mystery of her.

Luo Jinyu knew in her heart that the words she heard from Shu's mother were enough to prove that Shu Zhihan still had unknown secrets.

Luo Jinyu sighed softly, and the air in the study seemed to freeze at this moment.

He looked up at the window, the sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the window lattice, reflecting a warm yellow.

"Meng Haowen." His deep voice broke the silence, "You go and get ready, and I'll go see Shu Mu tomorrow." She is also your mother-in-law, don't let the old man worry."

Meng Haowen nodded and replied, "Yes, General." He knew in his heart that Luo Jinyu was asking him to appease Shu's mother, so that she would not be frightened by his daughter's affairs.

Luo Jinyu said again: "Also, about that matter, maybe you can inquire about it from the side of Lu Lotus to see if there is anything suspicious."

When Meng Haowen heard what Luo Jinyu said, he nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, General, I know what to do."

After exiting the study, he walked out into the courtyard.

When night falls, the moonlight pours into the courtyard, and the silvery light pours down, enveloping the whole courtyard in silence.

Meng Haowen took a deep breath and felt the coolness of the night.

He knows that tomorrow will be a challenging day.

He must get useful information from Shu's mother, while also carefully handling his relationship with Green Lotus.

He looked up at the sky, and a meteor streaked across the sky, leaving a beautiful arc.

Meng Haowen silently said in his heart: "May everything go well." Then he turned and left the courtyard.
