"Innocent? "Hrmph." The man sneered.

"How many people are there in the Zhao Family and how many are there that are innocent? Then, who are you?"

Liu Ruyun, who was lying on the ground, heard the mysterious man's question and could not help but think sorrowfully, "Who, who am I? I don't even know who I am. "

"I don't know, I don't know anything. I want to go home, go home." Liu Ruyun didn't answer his question. Instead, she kept mumbling to herself, as if she had gone insane.

"Pretending to be crazy?"

Liu Ruyun could vaguely see a figure in her narrowed eyes. It was just that her appearance could not be clearly seen. However, the aura of a person passing through the body was definitely not ordinary.

"Ah!" A pair of ice-cold hands touched Liu Ruyun's face. When Liu Ruyun came into contact with that ice-cold hand, her hair immediately stood on end as she shrieked in terror.

"Heh, so that's how it is." The man seemed to have confirmed something as he took his hand away from Liu Ruyun's face. He stood up and looked at Liu Ruyun, who was in a sorry state. A trace of ridicule flashed across his eyes.

The man stretched out his hand and flicked something towards Liu Ruyun. Then, he turned into a chair covered with a blanket and lazily sat on it. He leaned against the chair and tapped on the armrest with his fingers.

"Speak, who are you?" The man rested his head on his hands as he looked at Liu Ruyun.

Liu Ruyun, who had already sunk into terror and lost her consciousness, now slowly sat up and used her hand to put a strand of her hair in front of her eyes. She raised her eyes to look at the man who had just spoken, her pitch-black pupils no longer showing any signs of panic.

"You saved me." Liu Ruyun expressed this fact in a firm tone.

"Why?" She did not recognize this man, and why did he save a stranger? She did not think that this man was a kind person, much less that he fell in love with her at first sight. Then, he definitely had his own purpose, and she did not feel that there was anything in her that others could covet.

"You are merely a plaything. You do not need to know why. What? Don't you want to leave this place?" The man easily poked Liu Ruyun's weak spot.

Liu Ruyun gritted her teeth and remained silent.

The man laughed sinisterly.

"What? Have you thought about it?" The man changed his posture and offered an attractive condition.

Liu Ruyun stared at the man whose face couldn't be seen clearly and asked without thinking, "What's your purpose?"

"You don't need to know." The man clapped his hands and laughed. His laughter was filled with coldness.

"I saved you from the current situation, and you, listen to my orders. No matter what it is, you should know that you don't have any leeway to refuse." The man waved his hand and stood up. He walked in front of Liu Ruyun and looked down at her as he spoke.

Even though they were so close, Liu Ruyun still couldn't see his face clearly, as if it was blocked by layers of black mist.

"Yeah, can I still refuse?" Liu Ruyun lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

"Then who the hell are you?" Liu Ruyun mustered her courage and asked.

"People? "Hahaha, I'm not human." The man laughed and replied with a voice filled with the stench of blood, "Actually, I, am, a ghost."

When Liu Ruyun heard that, she couldn't help but retreat. Indeed, she was not an ordinary person. But... but a ghost?

"What? Are you afraid?" After seeing Liu Ruyun's movements, the man immediately disappeared from where he stood.

"Who was it that turned me into my current appearance?"

A cold voice suddenly appeared behind Liu Ruyun, blocking her path of retreat.

"If it weren't for those people, how could I have been suppressed here?"

Hearing that the man was being suppressed, Liu Ruyun secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

As if he had seen through Liu Ruyun's thoughts, the man chuckled softly. He used his ice-cold hands to grip Liu Ruyun's neck and slowly moved closer to her ear, saying dangerously, "As for an ant like you, I'll kill you with just a thought. Do not have any small thoughts."

Looking at Liu Ruyun's flushed face, the man threw her down and disappeared, leaving only one sentence behind.

"In a few days, someone will come to find you. Remember, his name is Yuan Yi."

Liu Ruyun lay paralyzed on the ground. Slowly, she lost consciousness.

The next day, Liu Ruyun woke up in bed. Somehow, she felt like she had forgotten something.

At this moment, the mansion welcomed guests. Due to something unexpected happening, everyone in the mansion started to get busy.

The group of servants rushed to the main hall.

In the main hall, Zhao Yuqing was sitting at the head of the table. He wore a black robe and looked at his friends who came to visit him. He asked, "Qinghe, it's been a few days. How have you been?"

Su Qinghe, who was sitting at the bottom of the room, looked like a scholar. With raised eyebrows and a smile, he fiddled with the teacup in his hand as he glanced sideways at the white room and then silently glanced at Yuan Yi. Seeing that the other party didn't show any reaction, he pouted and looked at Zhao Yuqing.

I heard that Big Brother Zhao was not going well recently. Originally, when I heard that Zhao Mansion was getting married, I intentionally went along with the gift and paid a visit.

Su Qinghe put down the teacup in his hand and sat upright. He cupped his hands towards Zhao Yuqing and said, "I heard that Liu Tie has passed away. I hope Brother Zhao will have peace."

Zhao Yuqing sized up the people Su Qinghe brought with him without leaving a trace. At the same time, he replied, "Everyone has their own lives. Yusheng has suffered for so many years, and now he is free."

"Big Brother Zhao, it's good that you can think it through." Su Qinghe scratched his head and introduced him to Zhao Yuqing, "This is Yuan Yi." Su Qinghe didn't introduce Yuan Yi too much, he only mentioned Yuan Yi's name.

Zhao Yuqing frowned. It didn't matter if Su Qinghe came because it was inconvenient or because he didn't know the background of this person. This attitude meant that this person was definitely not simple.

Yuan Yi looked at Zhao Yuqing, similarly sizing him up. But compared to Zhao Yuqing's lack of trace, Yuan Yi was more direct. Su Qinghe looked at him with eyes full of advice. Yuan Yi could be said to have turned a blind eye.

"Yuan Yi."

"Zhao Yuqing."

The two of them nodded slightly. They could be considered to have met each other.

Su Qinghe had a new understanding of the simplicity of these two people.

"I wonder if we would be fortunate enough to pay our respects to the bride?" Su Qinghe took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Unfortunately, because of Yusheng's death, my sister-in-law was affected a little bit. She's too sad and recently she's been bedridden and won't be able to see anyone." Zhao Yuqing replied.

Liu Ruyun was currently sitting in front of the dressing table, allowing Hong Xiu to comb her long hair.

All of Zhao Mansion had been replaced with white silk, and only her room was still red, however, it had been defeated.

The whiter the outside, the more it reflected the room's depression and strangeness.
