When he wasn't around, these people became so audacious. Did they think he was dead?

When the third wife saw Shi Yu, she immediately rushed to grab him, preventing him from approaching him. What if Shi Anran took this opportunity to trick her? Shi Anyi also saw that Shi Yu had arrived, but she did not dare be impudent. In her heart, she was still afraid of this father.

"Master, An Yi and I were just about to go back to our rooms, but I didn't expect you to come. Third Madam said ingratiatingly.

"If I don't come, you all will destroy your Shi Family. Alright, you all can leave now, go back to your rooms, and take care of your patients or work, disperse now."

"Yes, master." After everyone heard this, they all did whatever they had to do.

Shi Anyi was unwillingly pulled by the third wife, but before she left, she fiercely glared at Shi Anran. However, Shi Anran did not mind, she only smiled and returned to her room. Finally, only Master Shi was left in the courtyard.

After glancing at the empty courtyard, Shi Yu also flicked his sleeves and left.

At night, Shi Anran was in her room reading a book, when a servant suddenly came to report that a servant wanted to see the young miss. Hearing that, Shi Anran laughed, as if she was not surprised, she said indifferently, Let him in.

As expected, it was the servant.

"Eldest Miss, it's all thanks to you today, otherwise, no matter how warm everyone's clothes are, they wouldn't be able to withstand the cold. Many people might not be able to hold on, and this little one told them in hushed tones that today it was all because of Eldest Miss's kindness that saved everyone, today I'm here to thank you on behalf of them." With that, he immediately knelt down.

Shi Anran personally went forward to help him up, "I am not a cold-hearted person. Since others treat me well, I will naturally repay them.

"Eldest Miss, from now on, this little one is willing to be an ox or a horse for you." Shi Anran smiled in his heart.

She had never been scolded so harshly in her entire life. When the third wife talked to her, she did not even bother to argue back. At the beginning, the third wife had quietly coaxed her, but later on, she lost her patience.

"An Yi, how come you still don't know how to control yourself? If it wasn't for me today, you would probably be kneeling outside right now." The Third Madam was upset, but Shi Anyi pretended not to hear it.

"Alright, since you don't listen to my advice, then think it over in the house. Don't come out for the next two days." The third wife left after she finished speaking, she did not see the viciousness in Shi Anyi's eyes.

Deep into the night, Shi Anran quietly sat in front of the dressing table. She looked up at the window and saw that it had reached the full moon, he shook off her thoughts and laid down.

Just as Shi Anran closed her eyes, she heard the sound of the door opening. The one who entered was Yi Yue, she walked in quickly and asked softly: "Miss, are you asleep?"

"What's the matter? Why are you bothering me at this hour?" She responded faintly, slightly complaining.

"There are guests in the mansion, they say that they must see the young miss now or they won't leave." Yi Yue was also helpless, if not she would not have come to disturb the Miss at this time.

Hearing that, Shi Anran became curious, just what kind of person would have such airs? Thinking about it, she softly said, "Then let her wait …"

After approximately half an hour had passed, she finally saw Shi Anran finish dressing herself. She slowly walked over with graceful steps, her gaze landing on the cloaked lady, and leisurely opened her mouth: "Since it's late at night, why do you not dare to reveal your true appearance to me?"

Seeing that the lady still remained unmoved, Yi Yue was angry, and said unhappily: "My family's young miss asked you a question, are you mute?"

As soon as Yi Yue finished speaking, the woman took off her bamboo hat, revealing a familiar face, shocking the two of them. Wasn't this … Shen Hong? Yi Yue's usual indifferent face also revealed a look of surprise.

"Are you surprised?" Shen Hong seemed to be satisfied with their reactions, but even she was surprised. If she had not escaped by luck, the person standing in front of them would have really become a ghost.

Shi Anran sat on the soft chair, calming down the surprise in her heart for the moment, and then changed it to a calm expression, and slowly said: "Since you are not dead, why did you not find a place to live, and instead come to see me?" Shen Hong was not stupid, otherwise she would not have been able to escape the fire.

A trace of resentment flashed across Shen Hong's heart, but she did not reveal it on her face. She still needed Shi Anran's help! Shen Hong walked over and stood three steps away from her: "Eldest Miss, I don't want to get involved with any grudges or grudges within the palace anymore. It's just, when did Eldest Miss agree to our promise and send me out?" One had to know that she couldn't stay in the Shi Manor now, but other than this place, where else could she eat and live? So... She could only turn to Shi Anran for help.

Hearing that, Yi Yue fiercely swept his eyes over her and waited for the young miss to speak.

Maybe she was tired, Shi Anran yawned lazily, and after being silent for a while, she said lightly: "Everyone knows you're dead, do they still need to ask me if they want to leave? You have these legs on you, why do you need to ask others for their opinion? "

What does Eldest Miss mean by this? Shen Hong felt a bad premonition, and after pursing her lips, she said honestly: "I personally think that young miss is not someone who goes back on her words, Shen Hong's status is not even on the level of young miss, she is not as wealthy as you. As long as the young miss gives me enough silver for me to spend the rest of my life, I will definitely not appear in front of the young miss again. "

In truth, Shi Anran did not believe Shen Hong's words. She gently brushed the silk handkerchief across her forehead as if she was thinking about something, since that fire did not burn her to death, she should not have died, but it might have been a good thing for her to survive.

Seeing that Shi Anran did not say anything, Shen Hong became anxious, she was unable to understand what the young miss was thinking. Currently, no one else in the Shi Family knew that she was still alive. If word of this got out, it would be extremely disadvantageous for her.

The two had different thoughts, Shi Anran could naturally see through her thoughts, but she really didn't like the feeling of being threatened, so she only pursed her lips and said, "If you want to go, then go, before I go back on my words, it's best to go far away!" This was the last bit of patience Shi Anran had with her. If Shen Hong was just a little bit smarter, he shouldn't have come back to find her. However, this kind of woman was too greedy. Even when facing a life and death situation, she didn't forget to come back and ask for money. Did she really think her silver was so easy to get?

Yi Yue looked at his young miss' attitude and understood what was going on. She coldly ordered them to leave: "The young miss has already shown great kindness in letting you go, why aren't you leaving? What are you standing here for?"

A benevolent heart? Hearing the words, Shen Hong's five fingers which were hidden in her sleeves tightened, if she had immediately nodded and gave him the silver, Shen Hong would not have been standing here. She took in a deep breath and spoke anxiously: "Young miss, you promised me, you clearly promised me!"

"Why are you pestering me?" Yi Yue raised her hand to stop her from getting too close to Shi Anran.

Shen Hong also felt that her actions were too intense, after calming down, she said apologetically: "It's this servant that is lacking in manners, I was just too anxious, Miss, you won't go back on your words now, right?" If she wasn't cornered, she wouldn't have come back to beg for Shi Anran's help. She just hoped that she could fulfill that promise.
