"Yes!" Song Shi responded and then turned around and went out, disappearing into the darkness.

There was only one candle lit in the study room, and the candlelight shone dimly on Jiang Shen's face, clearly illuminating his angular face but not making his expression clear.

He put his hand on his forehead and half-closed his eyes for a long time. It wasn't until the candlelight dimmed that he opened his eyes.

Most of the world in front of me is black and white, with only a little bit of red remaining from the candle, and the flickering light above it.

The faint light reflected in his eyes, making his dark eyes shine brightly in this darkness.

There is nothing uncomfortable.

Unknowingly, Jiang Shen stared at the bright light for a long time, until the light also weakened and became completely dark.

The entire study fell into darkness again, and he was immersed in this color.

Yes, this is the color that makes him comfortable, and this is the color he should have.

--

Jiang Shen sat in the study for a long time before returning to the bedroom. When he went back, the bedroom was quiet. When he walked to the bed, he could only see a small light on the low couch beside the bed.

It was Su Changle who gave him the light.

Through the bed curtain, Jiang Shen saw Su Changle's small body sleeping peacefully on the bed with her back to him. She was motionless, as if she had really fallen asleep.

Jiang Shen took off his coat and walked to the bathroom to wash up. After changing into comfortable pajamas, he came back and lay down next to Su Changle.

As soon as he lay down, he felt something was wrong.

There was such a big gap between the two people. The bed was huge, but Su Changle had never been that far away from him.

Jiang Shen turned his head and looked at Su Changle's back intently.

Steady breathing came from inside, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly. Jiang Shen looked at the distance between her and himself, and then looked at her back as she turned around.

At this distance, there is no way to hook him at night.

Jiang Shen was not in a hurry. Su Changle always leaned towards him at night. He always had a lot of patience during this long night.

But……

After waiting for a long time, until the moonlight hung in the sky, Jiang Shenye didn't feel Su Changle move, let alone her move towards him.

Jiang Shen became somewhat interested. He stood up slightly and called softly: "Princess?"

Su Changle did not move, and Jiang Shen touched her shoulder with his fingertips: "Is the princess not asleep yet?"

Su Changle still didn't move, and Jiang Shen felt something was wrong. He sat up and gently opened Su Changle's cup. Sure enough, he saw that Su Changle had tied his wrists with a long handkerchief.

This way she won't move around!

Jiang Shen was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look at her expression.

Su Changle usually has a silly smile on her face when she sleeps, but something is obviously wrong with her expression today. Her brows are very tight, and her whole round little face is also frowning unconsciously.

It's like being tied up and unable to move.

Jiang Shen looked at her and suddenly laughed out loud: "How stupid."

If you don’t want to see him, just drive him out. Why tie yourself up?

As Jiang Shen thought this, Su Changle suddenly groaned and kicked his legs a few times. He didn't know whether he had dreamed of something unhappy.

Jiang Shen thought for a while, stretched out his hand and gently pulled the handkerchief that bound her wrist.

The knots that were still somewhat strong were unraveled in an instant.

After Jiang Shen covered her cup, she lay down in her own position. Sure enough, Su Changle turned around and nuzzled towards him after a while.

Jiang Shen felt the girl's fragrance approaching him, closed his eyes and smiled.

--

Su Changle was confused as soon as he woke up.

She first looked at her position, and then at the handkerchief that had unraveled at some point on her wrist. She scratched her head and asked, "What! Why did it open!"

Azhu looked at Su Changle who was very annoyed, and quickly advised: "The brocade handkerchief is already silky, and it will open naturally after a few moves. And the princess should not embarrass herself like this. She doesn't want to see the princess and tell him not to come back.

That’s it, why are you still tying yourself up?”

"It's so cold outside, where can he go?" Su Changle subconsciously wanted to refute, but finally sighed helplessly: "Forget it."

Su Changle put on his shoes and stood up. His mind was even more mushy after not sleeping well last night: "Azhu, you are right. I have done nothing wrong. Why did I tie you up?"

Get up!"

Azhu nodded in agreement: "The princess is right."

Su Changle put on her clothes, but the anger in her heart was still not gone, even after breakfast, but she remembered one thing.

Su Changle locked herself in the study after breakfast. She opened the locked box, unfolded the portrait inside, and sat in front of the portrait in a daze.

Yesterday, Zhou Yihang said that someone secretly paid homage to Pei Mansion.

She said slowly: "Pei Du, Pei Du, I didn't expect anyone would remember you now."

--

Jiang Shen also went to the study after getting up.

He first took a book and read it. After hearing the chirping of sparrows, he stood by the window, pinched some rice with his fingertips and scattered it to the sparrows outside.

After a while, Song Shi appeared in the study: "Sir, we already have some clues about what you asked your subordinates to investigate last night."

Jiang Shen's men didn't stop moving, and just said calmly: "Say."

"Yes." After Song Shi said this, he told Jiang Shenting what he had found out last night.

"Pei Du, Pei Ruofu's only son, heard that his biological mother was just a fireworks woman, and Pei Ruofu got pregnant with a son because of a conspiracy. Pei Du lived outside the house before he was eight years old. When he was eight years old, his biological mother threatened Pei Ruofu with her son, but she was kicked out of the city and could not leave.

Died in January. Pei Du was killed by Pei Du

Ruofu joined the family, but because of his biological mother, he was not favored by his father. Although he had outstanding appearance before the age of seventeen, he was looked down upon by the princes of Jinling until he was seventeen in the 16th year of Yuanhe.

When I took part in the spring examination, I won the first place in one fell swoop.

"But before the leader could hold the banquet, his father Pei Ruofu was dismissed for his inability to control the floods. He was also implicated and sent to the outside of the Great Wall. On the way to the banquet, he was personally stabbed to death by the princess of Anping.

"I heard that Princess Anping had been in love with him for a long time, but Pei Du didn't want to become the princess. The princess had a grudge in her heart. After Pei Du died, he was thrown into a mass grave outside the city by the guards, and his body was not found.

There was no monument erected.”

After hearing the next few words, Jiang Shen's hand that had been spreading rice stopped.

After a while, he said calmly: "It sounds really miserable."

"Actually, there are some other things that my subordinates haven't found out yet."

"Say." Jiang Shen said coldly.

"During the investigation, my subordinates vaguely felt that Pei Du seemed to be somewhat involved in the ghost market, but he is a first-time official son after all. I will give my subordinates a few days and then I will find out."

"Then go ahead." Jiang Shen put the feeding bowl aside, turned around and sat down at the desk.

"Yes!" Song Shi took the order and left.

Jiang Shen slowly raised his hand and picked up the pen. After writing two words calmly on the paper on the desk, he put the pen down.

The word "Pei Du" appeared on the paper.

Jiang Shen looked at the name and muttered softly: "Pei Du...Pei Du..."

"It's really interesting." He suddenly laughed, "You obviously killed the person yourself, why did you still let people investigate the Pei family's case?"
