In the courtyard.

Little Chunzi was walking along the pavilion with a sad expression on his face.

Behind him followed a woman and three children at a steady pace. No matter how many signals he made with his eyes, he couldn’t shake off the annoying sticky group after them. They crossed one fake mountain after another in the garden, and the Young Master’s mansion was just ahead, but he couldn’t shake them off.

What should he do about this?

Liu Sisi noticed Little Chunzi’s distress. At this moment, she had no other choice. Even though she was anxious, she maintained a calm expression on her face.

Especially since what she held in her hand wasn’t a small knife but a half-tree branch. In order to survive, she couldn’t care about the details.

...

“Little Chunzi, where are you going in the middle of the night?”

Suddenly, a lovely girl’s voice came from the side: “Eh? Where did the woman and the children beside you come from?”

As the voice sounded, a stunningly beautiful young girl was gracefully approaching from the other side of the fake mountain. Upon noticing the presence of Liu Sisi and the others, her maid instinctively raised the lantern lighting up Liu Sisi’s face, revealing the girl’s features as well.

“Miss! Please save Little Chunzi, please save me!”

Little Chunzi rolled away from Liu Sisi and hid behind the young girl: “Miss, just now the Young Master ordered Little Chunzi to go to the backyard to check on things. These people held me hostage. Miss! Sob… I almost couldn’t see you!”

Little Chunzi cried bitterly.

“Husband, is that you? Ruo Ruo didn’t see wrong, right?”

The beautiful girl hesitantly asked.

“Ruo Ruo, it’s you? Great, I didn’t expect to meet you here!” Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.

This conversation surprised Little Chunzi who was standing at the side, and he quickly forgot about his tears.

Wasn’t it a robber? How come they suddenly became husband and wife?

“Great! Husband, you finally came to the capital city. Ruo Ruo has been waiting for you for four years and finally met you today. Great, great!” Ruo Ruo became more and more excited and didn’t know what else to say.

Liu Sisi shook her head with a touch of embarrassment on her face, rushed forward, and grabbed Ruo Ruo’s hand.

“Ruo Ruo, there’s a big figure chasing and trying to kill me outside. Can we hide here in your place?”

Commander Yang searched each house in order, regardless of the welcoming smiles or angry but ultimately submissive looks from the officials.

He moved from house to house, following the path.

In the main room, Lord Gan Senior was sleeping soundly when a sudden urgent knocking came from outside.

“Old Master! It’s terrible, Commander Yang is here with the Empress’ Edict, and he’s saying that they are looking for a female thief who kills and robs and escaped from the palace. They’ve surrounded the Left Prime Minister’s Mansion!”

Lord Gan Senior’s face darkened as he heard the news. Seeing Commander Yang swaggering in from the main entrance only made it worse! However, he soon thought of something and greeted Commander Yang with a smile.

“Commander Yang is indeed diligent. Two days ago you just returned from an official trip, and now you’re here investigating a case so late at night. You must be really tired!”

Commander Yang’s eyes flashed for a moment, then he rushed forward with a fist greeting and a hearty laugh.

“Lord Gan Senior’s praise is undeserved. As a martial artist like me, all we can do is obey our orders. The Empress ordered her grandson-in-law to pursue and investigate the escaped female thief. Grandson-in-law has been going door to door, so I ask for Lord Gan Senior’s forgiveness.”

Two years ago, during an autumn hunt, Commander Yang set his sights on Lord Gan Senior’s daughter. After considerable pursuit, they finally got engaged. Commander Yang initially wanted to get married before the end of the year, but Lady Gan Senior couldn’t bear to part with her granddaughter so early and insisted on waiting another two years for the wedding to take place the following year.

However, since the engagement, Commander Yang has always considered himself a grandson-in-law in front of Lord Gan Senior.

Lord Gan Senior’s smile momentarily stiffened, but soon he recovered and said, “Of course, of course! Commander Yang, for the sake of our Ruo Ruo who’s been working hard preparing her dowry, please be gentle during your searches.”

“Of course!”

Hearing about Ruo Ruo’s hard work in preparing her dowry, Commander Yang’s eyes lit up instantly! He immediately patted his chest and gave a solemn assurance.

“This search is just a routine task. I won’t disturb Miss Ruo Ruo. I just wonder… has Ruo Ruo gone to bed? It’s been a few days since grandson-in-law has seen her. I really miss her… Hehe!”

Lord Gan Senior’s mouth twitched, but he continued with a hearty laugh, “I’m afraid Ruo Ruo is asleep at the moment. However, since Commander Yang is here, we should let Ruo Ruo get up and meet you.”

After saying this, he called out loudly for his servants: “Come here! Hurry up and tell Ruo Ruo in her courtyard that Commander Yang is here and ask her to come out and meet him. Hurry up!”

“Yes, sir.”

It wasn’t long after the servant left that he returned, stammering and unable to speak.

Lord Gan Senior slammed his teacup down on the table, angrily pointing at the servant: “What’s wrong? I asked you to get Ruo Ruo to come out, and we still don’t see her. Are you making Commander Yang wait too long? What kind of behavior is this!?”

The servant spoke with a pained expression: “Old Master, it’s not that I didn’t inform Miss Ruo Ruo. She said that if Commander Yang wants to see her, he should go to Xihe Pavilion himself. She won’t come out… ”

Seeing the look on Lord Gan Senior’s face and then glancing at Commander Yang, the servant lowered his head.

This sounded exactly like something Ruo Ruo would say! Lord Gan Senior sighed inwardly.

Ever since ancient times, a forced marriage yielded no sweet fruits. But for the sake of the family, he reluctantly agreed to this match even though he knew Commander Yang was not a good fit for Ruo Ruo. He regretted it ever since and still does. But in this world, there are many things that can’t be undone just because you don’t want to do them.

“Commander Yang, what do you think about this?” Lord Gan Senior hesitated to ask.

Commander Yang, however, was excited and let out a hearty laugh: “I’m honored that Ruo Ruo personally invited me! I’m going over right away to thank her for the invitation!”

Having said that, he stood up, eager to take action.

Lord Gan Senior, seeing the situation, quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand: “Commander Yang, Ruo Ruo is still an unmarried girl, this… ”

“Please rest assured, Lord Gan Senior! I may not be a young boy of seventeen or eighteen, but I know proper manners! I will not be disrespectful to Ruo Ruo.”
