The meeting with Old Lady Shen just now had already scared Qin Ruochu to death. How would she dare to provoke Old Lady Shen again?

"So …" As long as you are obedient, there is no need to make her happy. " Shen Musheng rubbed Qin Ruochu's soft hair.

Perhaps it was because she had woken up too early in the morning, but Qin Ruochu, who was currently lying on a soft bed, actually felt sleepy. Ye Zichen drilled a few more times into Shen Musheng's arms, then fell asleep with a peace of mind.

When Qin Ruochu's even breathing was heard, Shen Musheng opened his eyes quietly. He seemed to be afraid of waking Qin Ruochu up, so he stayed in this position.

In Shen Musheng's deep eyes, there was a surge of emotion. He couldn't help but think about what Old Lady Shen said just now.

How could a smart man like Shen Musheng not know his current situation? He did not know what would happen if things really happened. Shen Musheng was not stupid. He thought Old Lady Shen's words were just to scare him.

Over the years, while he was running the company, he had also done a lot of work behind the scenes. He knew that Old Lady Shen still had a trump card up her sleeve.

Shen Musheng had been investigating, but he didn't know what was going on. He wasn't sure if it was because he was in the wrong direction or because Old Lady Shen had hidden herself too deeply.

Thinking about this, Shen Musheng quickly looked at Qin Ruochu who was in his arms. Qin Ruochu moved her mouth and mumbled something like a child before falling asleep again.

Shen Musheng smirked. Qin Ruochu was totally unprepared and completely trusting, so his heart softened.

Shen Musheng kissed the top of Qin Ruochu's head, then tightened his grip on Qin Ruochu's head.

After an unknown period of time, Qin Ruochu woke up from her slumber. This time, she slept soundly and peacefully.

However, when Qin Ruochu opened her eyes, she found that Shen Musheng was no longer beside her.

"Musheng..." Musheng, where did you go? " Qin Ruochu yelled at the top of her lungs. However, because she had just woken up, her voice was extremely hoarse.

Qin Ruochu didn't get an answer for a long time. She got up and rubbed her eyes. "Strange, where's he …"

Although Shen Musheng wasn't in the room, Qin Ruochu still got off the bed. She walked to the table and poured herself a glass of water. She raised her head and gulped it down.

"Phew …" Qin Ruochu exhaled a breath of air and regained her consciousness. When he put down the cup, he saw a piece of paper on the table.

Qin Ruochu picked it up. On it was a short, strong, and tough "Find me in the garden when you wake up". Qin Ruochu knew who had written it in just a few short words.

After a simple cleaning up, Qin Ruochu left the house. However, as soon as she left the house, she was stunned again. Why? Because she didn't even know where she was, nor did she know where the "garden" Shen Musheng mentioned was on the note.

After being stunned for a while, Qin Ruochu came to an understanding. No matter how she walked, she would always be in the Shen Family old house. What was there to be afraid of?

With that thought in mind, Qin Ruochu closed the door to her room and went downstairs.

After leaving Shen Musheng's yard, Qin Ruochu hesitated for a while before choosing a more comfortable corridor.

Walking along the corridor, Qin Ruochu recalled whether she had passed by this place before.

However, after thinking for a long time, Qin Ruochu still couldn't find any clues. She decided to give up and decided to just go where she was going.

Thinking this way, Qin Ruochu calmed down and focused her attention on the surrounding quaint buildings. Qin Ruochu smiled and her mood improved unconsciously. The unhappiness she had after meeting Old Lady Shen in the morning was completely gone.

Qin Ruochu was attracted by the simple architectural style of the building. She walked through the corridor and saw a circular arch. Qin Ruochu thought for a moment, who knows where it led to the garden. With that thought, she walked towards the arch.

Due to the shape of the arch, it blocked part of her view. In addition, Qin Ruochu's mind hadn't fully moved to this place yet. When she was about to pass through the arch, she almost bumped into someone.

The person facing Qin Ruochu was a woman. She was around forty to fifty years old, and her clothes were not extravagant, but from her attire, one could tell that she was not a servant of the Shen Family old residence.

However, what Qin Ruochu cared about was not this, but the look in this woman's eyes that she obviously did not like. There was a clear look and disgust in his eyes.

Qin Ruochu retracted her gaze, thinking that no matter what, there were people in this Shen Family house that were not easy to get along with.

Qin Ruochu didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she smiled at the unfriendly woman and turned to leave.

Just as Qin Ruochu was about to take a step forward, the woman who had been staring at her silently spoke up, "Don't think that just because you've entered Shen Family's gates, you're really someone from Shen Family. Heh, Shen Musheng is a thief, and you're not a good person either!" The woman's voice wasn't loud, but it was eerie enough to make Qin Ruochu's hair stand on end.

Turning her head over, Qin Ruochu saw the hatred and gloom in the woman's eyes. Qin Ruochu was frightened by the sight of him wanting to pounce on her.

Qin Ruochu instinctively took a step forward and started walking forward. She didn't care about the direction anymore. She just wanted to get as far away from this woman as possible.

After walking for a while, she turned a corner and stopped. When she looked back, she didn't notice the woman behind her. Qin Ruochu let out a sigh of relief and felt a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

Qin Ruochu wiped her tears away and laughed mockingly at herself, "Qin Ruochu, you have so much guts to try and get close to Old Lady Shen?"

With a sigh of relief, Qin Ruochu started to observe her position but it was useless. She had no idea where she was and, strangely, she didn't see a single servant along the way.

If she saw a servant, Qin Ruochu thought, she could ask for directions to the garden, but now she had to rely on herself.

Calming herself down, Qin Ruochu continued walking. Although she tried her best not to think about the woman she just met, she still couldn't help but think.

"That woman …" Who the hell are you and why are you saying all those weird things to me? "How strange." Qin Ruochu muttered under her breath as she walked forward.

Suddenly, Qin Ruochu thought of what Shen Muqiao had told her before, that besides her, everyone else harbored evil intentions and had evil intentions towards her. Thinking of this, Qin Ruochu seemed to know why that woman had evil intentions in her eyes.
