Hearing him say this, Li Luru’s strength weakened a bit.

But Ye Haoxuan spoke again, "Li Luru, you touched my back!"

Upon hearing this, Li Luru’s face instantly turned red with embarrassment.

"Li Luru, you took advantage of me!"

Li Luru retorted, "Aren’t you indifferent? You don’t seem to care, so touching shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Ye Haoxuan closed his eyes briefly and then asked, "Li Luru, are you cursing me in your heart?"

"No!"

"You definitely are, I heard it."

"..."

Li Luru almost cried, wanting to punch him down. Why is this annoying man so difficult to deal with?

"Li Luru, you must be saying I’m difficult to deal with, right?"

"..." Li Luru choked with anger, unable to say a word.

Ye Haoxuan turned his head and saw her about to burst, knowing what she was thinking, and he couldn’t help feeling displeased. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Snatching the towel from her hand, "Get out! As if my kindness was wasted."

"Ugh..." Li Luru reflexively tried to grab the towel back, but ended up falling into a bucket, "Silly girl, where are you rushing?"

"Li Luru, could it be that you’ve taken a liking to me? Let me tell you, young girls who fancy their masters will be disciplined!"

"Ye Haoxuan, I’ll strangle you!" Already feeling embarrassed and anxious, Li Luru couldn’t hold back any longer and reached out her hand.

Ugh, Ye Haoxuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, did he tease too far, and now she’s furious?

"Little Yard, why aren’t you coming in to take her out?"

"Oh, I’ll be right there!" So the servant had been waiting outside the whole time.

Didn’t that mean their entire conversation had been overheard?

Li Luru was fuming and bit his arm hard.

"Hiss, it hurts..."

Hearing him shout in pain, Li Luru let go, smugly saying, "I’ll bite you to death!"

Ye Haoxuan was both amused and helpless, seems like teasing the little wildcat too much will backfire.

Early in the morning, just as Li Luru stepped out of the room, she bumped face-to-face with Ye Haoxuan.

"Hmph!"

Thinking about last night’s events, Li Luru glared at him fiercely.

"Tsk-tsk, whose young girl has such a temper?"

"Hmph!"

Ye Haoxuan curled his lips into a light laugh, looks like she’s still not over it.

At this moment, Little Yard approached, "Master, they’ve returned."

"Hmm!"

Once inside, Little Yard closed the door.

"What did you find?"

"Subordinate found that the Lian Family, including Xue’er, are not originally from Hulu Village; they moved there a few years ago. The villagers don’t know much about the Lian Family’s affairs, only heard that they have relatives in the county town. A few days ago, the whole family moved to the county town, and since then, they have never returned. As for the current situation of the Lian Family, it is not known."

"Regarding County Magistrate Zhong, subordinate has checked the prison and did not find anyone from the Lian Family, nor at Zhong Yongqian’s residence. However, subordinate discovered that the Zhong Residence had, ten days ago..."

Subordinate was about to continue when a sharp voice came from outside.

"What are you doing standing here? Why are you eavesdropping?"

"I, I wasn’t!"

One voice from Li Luru, another from Xue’er.

"Still claiming you weren’t, what are you standing here for then?"

"What’s going on?"

"She was eavesdropping on your conversation."

Xue’er immediately knelt down, "Prince, the commoner girl is merely concerned about her parents."
