Over the past few days, Fan Yun and Tian Xing have always encouraged and cheered each other up, worked diligently and down-to-earth, and never complained.Qi Zheng silently watched Fan Yun working hard every day washing the toilet bowl and cleaning the room, and felt particularly uncomfortable.Jiang Shu also saw everything but did not intervene.He knows that every person who joins the game has to go through such hardships, and he firmly believes that Fan Yun can survive the difficulties.Not only that, he also specially sent someone to send Fan Yun a pile of documents for her to deal with. Everyone under his command felt that this was adding insult to injury, but they could only follow the instructions.

Yan Jiang made a special trip to see Lu Yan to intercede for Fan Yun, hoping to change Fan Yun to a more relaxed job.Unexpectedly, instead of agreeing, Lu Yan deliberately brought up the old matter again.He mentioned that Fan Hui had interceded for Fan Yun before, and compared it to the time when Yan Jiang first came here and did the hardest work every day, but Fan Hui never came forward to intervene.The implication is that in Fan Hui's heart, his biological daughter Fan Yun is far more important than his adopted son Yan Jiang.These words made Yan Jiang feel depressed. She secretly recalled the past when she lived on the streets and set up stalls to make a living when she was young, and was finally taken back by Fan Hui. She felt sour and unwilling.
When Fan returned home in the evening, Yan Jiang deliberately tried to test him, saying that he wanted to say goodbye to Fan and go out to travel around.Fan Hui did not stop him, but said frankly that everyone has his own way forward in life, and he has his own way forward and does not need to be controlled by others.Looking at Fan Hui's back leaving calmly, the grievance and unhappiness in Yan Jiang's heart became more intense.On the other side, Qi Zheng is determined to let Gao Ran return to the army to protect the city.Now Fan Yun and Tian Xing's situation in the mansion is far more difficult and dangerous than Gao Ran knew.Qi Zheng hoped that Gao Ran's return would not only protect Fan Yun personally and become her solid support, but also help the defense of Nine Cities.Gao Ran immediately agreed to be reinstated.Qi Zheng held his hand tightly and said sincerely that not only Fan Yun needed him, but the people and cities of the nine huge cities also needed his protection.
When Gao Ran returned from work, he immediately brought hot meals and dishes to Fan Yun and told her to tell her directly if she had any difficulties in the future.At the same time, he handed over a letter sent by Wei Shisan to Fan Yun, which mentioned that Wei Shisan was about to go on a blind date.After reading the letter, Gao Ran suddenly thought of Wei Shisan's various abnormal behaviors recently, and felt strangely annoyed in his heart.
At this time, Tian Xing received a letter from home, telling him that the money he had paid for the examination had not been received yet.After Fan Yun learned about it, he immediately accompanied Tian Xing to meet Lu Yan to ask for an explanation.However, Lu Yan was perfunctory and evasive, guessing that the silver was just delayed on the road and would only need to wait a few more days before it would be delivered.Tian Xing still wanted to argue, but Fan Yun stopped him in time.Fan Yun knew in his heart that the people inside Diansi were not clean, but the time had not come yet and it was not appropriate to argue hastily or alert the enemy.
At night, Qi Zheng had a drinking party with Yan Jiang and Wei Ying, and secretly invited Gao Ran to come and share the meal.After Gao Ran sat down, he drank a pot of strong wine without saying a word.Qi Zheng sighed secretly when he saw this, thinking about Fan Yun in his heart, knowing that there was still an unreachable distance between him and her.However, Yan Jiang saw clearly and said bluntly that if he missed her, he could just go and see her.But on second thought, he revealed that he was full of frustrations. As the adopted son of the Fan family, he was now gradually jealous of his adopted sister. There were people everywhere in the world who loved to protect Fan Yun, but no one cared about him.These words made Qi Zheng even more jealous. Seeing Gao Ran always by Fan Yun's side, as the city lord, he could only watch from a distance and was helpless.
For a moment, Yan Jiang was full of resentment, laughing at herself that it was just a fluke that Fan Hui took one more look at her and was taken in.He even secretly speculated that if he had it to do over again, Fan Hui might not be able to save him from his downfall.After the banquet dispersed, Wei Ying escorted Yan Jiang back, who was very drunk. Only Qi Zheng and Gao Ran were left at the table.Qi Zheng confided in Gao Ran and wanted to help Fan Yun solve his problems, but he was helpless and unable to do anything.Gao Ran comforted him, saying that compared to others, Qi Zheng had already paid enough for Fan Yun.
Early the next morning, Fan Yun and Tian Xing went out to do errands and found a pot of tea to relieve fatigue at the door.Although the two of them didn't know who the person who brought the tea was, they felt the strange warmth. Tian Xing was particularly happy.At night, Fan Yun and Tian Xing were at their desks sorting out documents. Qi Zheng deliberately pretended to be passing by and quietly stopped to watch.He holds the position of city lord, and due to his status, he cannot blatantly show concern.But Fan Yun knew it well and had already understood his hidden thoughts.Knowing that his feelings were completely understood by Fan Yun, Qi Zheng's eyebrows relaxed and he was filled with joy.At the same time, Bo Qin's conscience discovered that he changed his past attitude and took the initiative to help Fan Yun and Tian Xing. The two of them also accepted his kindness without deliberately rejecting it.
Jiang Shu noticed something fishy about Diansi, so he took the initiative to admonish Qi Zheng and thoroughly investigate the chaos of officials in Diansi lining their pockets.After Qi Zheng thought about it, he decided to appoint Fan Yun to investigate the matter secretly. He was sure that Fan Yun was the most suitable candidate because he was thoughtful and prudent.Although Jiang Shu agreed to the arrangement, he also took the opportunity to remind Qi Zheng that he should concentrate on taking care of the nine-city government affairs and not spend too much energy on Fan Yun.
Fan Yun started sorting out the account books of the Diansi, and soon discovered many doubts. Many goods were priced outrageously and far beyond the norm. It was basically concluded that someone within the Diansi was embezzling public wealth and using power for personal gain.All Diansi's products are exclusively supplied by Juyun Pavilion.Fan Yun remained calm and quietly put away the problematic bill for future evidence purposes.At this time, Bo Qin suddenly visited and took the initiative to speak, saying that if the two of them need help in the future, they can speak at any time.Fan Yun deliberately changed the topic and asked him about his recent situation and the progress of his errands.Bo Qin was high-spirited and outspoken, saying that he wholeheartedly wanted to follow an outstanding person like Yan Jiang to grow up, and he also determined to surpass Lu Yan and become an upright and promising official.
The next day, Fan Yun and Tian Xing went straight to Lu Yan and pointed out many loopholes and problems in the accounts in public.Lu Yan immediately turned against him and scolded the two for slandering the officials of the Diansi and causing trouble over nothing, and strictly ordered them not to leak anything to the outside world.It happened that Mr. Cai was visiting. Hearing that there was something wrong with Diansi's accounts, he was shocked and surprised.After leaving Diansi, Fan Yun told Tian Xing to secretly collect evidence. At the same time, he remembered the details he saw yesterday. The teapot Lu Yan used daily was exactly the same as the teapot that had been silently placed at the door for the past few days to relieve the two of them.From this, she realized that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. She already had a guess in her mind and decided to collect the existing evidence and go to Juyun Pavilion to dig for clues and find out the truth.
Later, Fan Yun made a special trip to find Zheng Shi and questioned Juyun Pavilion face to face about the inflated pricing of goods.Zheng Shi could tell at a glance that Fan Yun was here for verification and accountability, and he calmly proposed that he could go to Juyun Pavilion to check the account books, claiming that the accounts in the pavilion were absolutely clear, compliant, and error-free.Fan Yun immediately agreed and decided to face the account.
