For Shui Jiujun, the morning was always a bit depressing. She didn't want to wake up, this was her problem. In her previous life when she was working for the organization, although she would not sleep through the night, once she slept, unless she was fully asleep, no one was allowed to wake up. If he wanted to wake her up from her sleep, he would have to pay the price of blood.

But now it was different. The one who called her was Bing'er, and she was at Shui Jia. As the eldest miss of the Shui family, if she killed people as she liked, wouldn't she become a homicidal maniac? They would definitely be executed.

"Miss, Miss, if you don't get up, this servant will come in." As soon as the sun rose, Bing-Er was already waiting outside the door with a basin of water. At the same time, he felt somewhat depressed. In the past, Miss never slept late, but ever since her character changed, this bad habit had also increased. This was probably what the rumors said about him winning or losing?

Hearing Bing-Er's voice, Shui Long, who was sleeping well, frowned and murmured, "Oh, it's so noisy." When he had gone to follow the Night Emperor last night, he hadn't slept well in the first place. Now that he was woken up early, Shui Ruo only felt that he had a severe lack of sleep.

On the side, the Night Emperor had already woken up. However, when Shui Long wasn't ready for it yet, he just calmly sat on the chair and drank his tea. No matter how Bing-Er called out to him, he didn't open the door.

Outside, Bing-Er saw nothing from inside and sighed helplessly. She put down the water basin, took out a gong, and hit it hard with it. She shouted, "Miss! Get up quickly! "

Bing-Er's shout was loud. Shui Long, who was confused, heard it and sat up. He looked around in confusion, only to find that the king of the night was still drinking tea.

"Bing-Er?" "What's so noisy about?" Dissatisfied, he put on his clothes and asked coldly.

Outside, Bing-Er heard that and said, "My lady, why can't you pay me back? This is going to be a big deal. "

"Big deal?" Shui Ruo was curious. She tidied up her clothes, opened the door, looked at Bing'er and asked, "What happened at home?" Could it be that the branch family is making a ruckus again? "

"Aiyo, my young mistress, how could this servant dare to call you so early?" Bing-Er smiled bitterly.

"Hmm? What's that? " Hearing Cui Zhu's words, Shui You's curiosity was piqued. In the Shui Family, if the matters of the branch families were not considered big, then what could be considered big?

Seeing how curious the water was, Bing'er didn't circle around the water. She quickly took the water basin into the house and washed his face. Then she said, "There is an order from above saying that the Son of Heaven is on patrol. I hope our Shui family is prepared to receive you."

Bing-Er's words stunned both of them in the room. Prepare to receive you? " Shui Long couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I don't know the specifics, but it seems like the higher-ups want to come visit the Shui family." Bing-Er kept talking and then she started to comb her hair.

"Ha!" This is truly rare. " Shui Yuehan sneered, his eyes full of vigilance. The fact that the Son of Heaven was out on a tour and wanted to visit the Shui family by name definitely wasn't a coincidence. While thinking about this, Shui You glanced at the Night Emperor, who had a gloomy expression on his face.

Obviously, this had something to do with them.

Although he felt depressed, Shui Ruo did not show it on his face. After all, if the emperor wanted to see what the emperor wanted to see, then he wanted to see what the emperor wanted to see the most.

"Speaking of which, there aren't many merchants that would interest the emperor in our capital city. Our Shui family has won glory this time." Bing-Er was happy. Shui Ruo's smile was stiff.

To win glory? I think this is courting death.

Once the matter of the Night Emperor's cultivation in the Shui family was exposed, it would be a disaster.

"Bing-Er, you go down first. I'll give you a vacation today." Looking at Bing'er, who had already combed her hair, Shui Ruo instructed.

"How can this be? This servant will always serve the young miss. " Bing-Er disagreed.

"Today, your young miss and young master have matters to attend to, so it's inconvenient for you to listen. Anyhow, today is your day off." You are not allowed to talk back. " Shui You's attitude was domineering. Bing-Er listened. However, looking at Shui Ruo, Bing-Er was worried.

Suddenly giving her a holiday, what happened to Miss?

Sometimes, no matter how worried you were, the person you were worried about would eventually not care about you. When they left, Bing-Er felt lonely. After Bing'er had left, Night Emperor Xiu, who was drinking tea, spoke up, "If you do this, it will hurt her loyalty."

"It is because of her loyalty that she cannot be put in danger." Shui Long had a serious expression on his face.

"You think this is for us?" The Night Emperor looked at Shui Long as he spoke with certainty.

Shui Ruo heard this and laughed at himself, "I hope not. But... How coincidental, it's hard for me not to think that way. I just don't know who is the one who wants to target us. "

"Don't worry. No matter what, I will protect you." Although Night Emperor's voice was heavy, there was a trace of determination in his voice. However, it was this determination that made Shui Ruo feel even more uneasy. The Night Emperor's attitude showed that the matter of the emperor being a scout was indeed unusual. If it had been a guess before, then after hearing the guarantee from the Night Emperor, it had become a fact.

If anything happened to the Shui family, he would never forgive himself. Thinking of this, Shui You's gaze turned cold. No matter what, he had to protect this family.

"Don't be in such a hurry. We have to go check on your father-in-law on such a big matter first." Noticing Shui Yuehan's anxiety, Night Emperor Xiu tried to calm him down. When Shui Long heard this, he suddenly realized who the person he should be most worried about was!

If she wanted to protect the Shui family, then Shui Sanjin wanted to make her happy. After hearing about this, his first thought would definitely be to protect her safety. If anything goes wrong, it's not worth it.

Thinking like this, Shui Ruo hurried with Night Emperor to Shui Sanjin's study room. When he reached the door of the study, Shui Long's worry had already become a fact.

In the study room, the elder's voice was stern and filled with an air that could not be refused. He commanded the people inside, "You, pack all the silver in this chest for me. And you, put these paintings away. You, you, you don't need to be idle either. Pack everything that our young mistress loves best for me. You! Is the carriage ready? When you're ready, go quickly and call the young lady over. "

The sounds coming from the study room were so loud that the corners of Shui Ruo's mouth twitched. At the side, the Night Emperor sighed with emotion, "Father-in-law really dotes on you."

"Yeah." Shui Ruo nodded her head, but there was a hint of helplessness in her words. If it was possible, she would have preferred this old man to feel more pain for her. After all, he was just a ghost that had taken over her daughter's body.

With a helpless mood, Shui unhurriedly walked forward and opened the door to the study. He smiled and asked, "Father, are you looking for me?"

"Wandering? "You came at the perfect time." When Shui Sanjin, who was busy working hard, saw that Shui Ruo had arrived, he quickly pulled her to the table. There was a map placed on the table, with seven directions marked on it.

"Father, what are you doing?" Shui Long blinked several times and asked in confusion as he looked in these directions.

"This is the itinerary my father has prepared for you. Go out and play for a few days. " Shui Sanjin's face was filled with affection as he looked at Shui Ruo. Although he was reluctant to part with her, he still spoke in this manner.

When Shui Long heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Father, why would I want to go out for a swim? "I've only gotten married with my husband, and haven't been filial to you at home for a few days yet."

"Don't mention it!" When the topic of marriage was brought up, Shui Sanjin's rage rose. It was all because of this incident. If the Third Marquis hadn't become his son-in-law, he wouldn't have needed to let his daughter leave the capital.

"Father, since you're so anxious, it can't be that you're doing this for the emperor, right?" Shui You looked at Shui Sanjin and said with a smile.

When Shui Sanjin heard this, he immediately covered Shui's leisurely mouth and swept his eyes over the servants who were packing up their things. He said coldly, "What are you all standing there in a daze for? Didn't you see the young mistress coming over? Get out of here! "

When the servants heard this, they all left. He was puzzled by Shui Sanjin's violent temper today. After everyone had left, the Night Emperor, who had been waiting outside, finally walked in.

When Shui Sanjin saw that the Night Emperor had entered, he hurriedly shut the door and kneeled on the ground, "Your Highness, please let our Shui family off."

"Father-in-law, what is this?"

"Don't call me father-in-law. I, Shui Sanjin, am just a commoner, how can I marry the Prince? What's more, it was to let the prince marry into the family! I request that the Prince grant my daughter a divorce letter and let us live a few days in peace. "

Shui Sanjin's words were respectful, and there was even some sadness in them. When the Night Emperor heard this, he was stunned. He didn't know what to say either. It was very easy for him to take a break, but he didn't want to.

He really liked this woman. Moreover, even if he were to divorce her now, the events of that day would definitely become a big stain on his life. As long as they were used by someone, the Shui family would not be able to escape.

"Dad, I want to be with him. There is no room for discussion on this matter. And it has happened, and we have to face it. "As long as you don't let the emperor know that the Third Marquis is here, it'll be fine." Shui Ruo looked at Shui Sanjin and explained.

Shui Sanjin frowned but did not reply when he heard this. However, at this moment, a loud voice came from outside, "Master, it's bad, it's bad."

"What is it?" It's noisy. " Shui Sanjin was currently infuriated, and now that the people outside had said something bad, he was even more infuriated. When the messenger outside heard this, he was shocked, but thinking of the severity of the matter, he braced himself and said, "There are a few people outside, saying that they are here as guests. Master had instructed for them to be very welcoming this morning, but they were not ready yet."

"So fast!" This time, not only the attendant was anxious, Shui Sanjin also jumped up and down.

Shui Ruo saw that Shui Sanjin was in a difficult situation, and said first, "Go down first and tell the butler to invite the guest into the hall, we'll be there shortly."

"Yes."

Outside, the attendant respectfully replied before leaving. However, Shui Sanjin's tightly furrowed brows did not loosen.

"This is bad, it's hard to make you leave." Shui Sanjin was depressed. Shui Long stepped forward and held Shui Sanjin's hand after hearing what he said, saying with a sincere expression, "Father, even if you wanted me to leave, I would not do it. I was the one who caused the disaster, how could I let my father face it alone? Besides, the emperor's inspection of Weiwei was probably an accident. Since your health is not good, I'll greet you in your place. " Shui looked at the Night Emperor, "No matter what, don't go out."

"I know." Night Emperor nodded.

Shui Ruo confirmed that it was true and then left.

At the same time, in the lobby of the Shui family … A middle-aged man dressed in a beige luxurious robe with a jade belt tied around his waist. His hair was tied up in a jade crown, and he held a fan in his hand. His eyes were sharp and focused as he sized up Shui Family's hall, praising it, "Your demeanor is outstanding, but you don't look luxurious. It was grand and imposing, and it was no longer massive. This really is an extremely elegant building. The decorations of the Shui Clan Hall are really not bad. "

"Father is right. This Shui Clan is the number one merchant in the capital. To the side, a man dressed in black that was too seductive and gentle echoed.

The man looked to be in his early twenties, had a jade-like face, and had an extremely amorous look in his eyes. The clothes he wore were not gorgeous, but they gave off a feeling of oppressiveness and nobility. These two people were the guests of the Shui clan.

"You seem to know the Shui family very well?" The middle-aged man's words were rather playful.

The man bowed his head: "No, I haven't. It's just that some recent events happened so I haven't paid much attention to it."

"Oh?" The middle-aged man neither agreed nor disagreed to this.

Seeing that the middle-aged man did not continue asking, the man said, "Father, do you know that there is something strange in the Shui family?"

"Strange?" The middle-aged man was suspicious. A hint of interest appeared in a pair of eyes that were very similar to a man's.
