"What?" Ye Haoxuan was surprised and looked her up and down, "Do you think I’m lacking servants?"

"This won’t do, that won’t do, then whatever you say goes!" Li Luru lowered her head, feeling somewhat deflated, like a fish on the chopping board.

How did she end up so unlucky, out of the wolf’s den and into the thief’s nest.

Hearing her mutter softly, Ye Haoxuan almost burst into laughter. She was quite a character, being the first to describe her own home as a wolf’s den.

"Alright, temporarily you’ll be my servant. Do well, and I won’t hold past grievances against you. Fail, and I’ll marry you off to the Wang Family. You’ll never crawl out of there. I’ve heard Young Master Wang doesn’t just love beauties, but also prefers male company."

Li Luru’s eyes lit up, "Ah, you agreed? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do well."

Upon hearing him mention the Wang Family, she started murmuring to herself. Indeed, the Ye Family is unfathomable; they managed to clear up the little mess with the Wang Family in such a short time.

Thinking of Xiaohong, she hesitantly asked, "Um, Master Ye, can you do me a favor and help rescue Xiaohong from my home?"

"Hey, you’re something else! Have you ever seen a servant who brings another servant to serve her?"

Li Luru made a face, "I’m just afraid my mother would flay Xiaohong."

"That’s not my concern." Ye Haoxuan set down his cup, "Go make the bed! I want to rest."

"Huh?"

Ye Haoxuan turned around, "Huh what? Don’t you understand the rules of being a servant?"

Facing that deep gaze, Li Luru quickly snapped to attention, "I understand, I understand, right away."

"La la la... la la la..." While making the bed, she started humming a little tune. She was happy; she had successfully evaded the marriage.

"Shut up, your humming is awful."

"Uh..." Li Luru froze for a moment, then quickly laughed, "Yes, my lord!"

A new day dawned, and the wheels rolled on.

"Where are we headed? Wangquan Town?"

"Zhejiang!"

Ye Haoxuan spoke little, then continued to read.

"Why go to Zhejiang? Isn’t Wangquan Town your home? Why aren’t you going back home?"

"Thud!" Ye Haoxuan’s book slammed onto the hidden table, "Why are you so noisy? Remember your place?"

"Ah... I’ll shut up!" Li Luru pursed her lips, truly unpredictable.

A servant in front asked, "Master, Zhenping Village is ahead, should we stop for the night?"

"Hmm!"

The servant then rode ahead to the inn to reserve rooms.

Arriving at the inn, Ye Haoxuan led the way, directly heading upstairs to the guest room.

"Go wash my clothes and polish my shoes!"

Inside the room, Ye Haoxuan tossed a few bundles to her.

"Yes! I promise to complete the task."

After she left, several men in black entered through the window.

"Any news?"

The men shook their heads simultaneously.

"Keep searching, I don’t believe a living person can just disappear into thin air."

"Yes"

"Search house-to-house; don’t miss a single corner."

"Yes"

After reporting, the men in black vanished from the scene.

Ye Haoxuan held his forehead, feeling slightly irritable. The longer the search continued, the stronger his foreboding grew.

"Knock knock..."

"Come in!"

Li Luru said, "Sir, I want to go out and buy something."

"Go ahead."

Ye Haoxuan was unaware of the consequences her outing would bring.

"What did you use to wash my clothes?" The next day, while getting dressed, Ye Haoxuan noticed the clothes had an odd smell. Looking at his hands, why were they blue?
