Lu Xiaoyan looked at the little girl and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Lu Yulan shook her head. "I don't know."

In the eyes of everyone in the empire, Lu Yuanhong was the embodiment of justice, the god of war of the empire, and his whole being was as pure as snow that was untouched by dirt. That's why they were so disgusted when they learned that Lu Yuanhong had such an unambitious fiancée.

Nowadays, if your fiancée is the daughter of a criminal, your faith would probably crumble.

For some reason, thinking about this moment, Lu Yulan felt like laughing. She poked Lu Xiaoyan's palm and said, "Do you know that when you're pursuing a girl, you can't ask her what she wants. You should do it yourself and then ask the girl you like."

Lu Yuanhong also playfully poked Lu Yulan's palm, "I'll be more careful next time."

"However, there is something I can tell you now."

"What?"

I love you, until death do us part.

He then kissed Lu Yulan's palm.

"Don't worry."

Lu Yulan shook her head. She wasn't worried; at worst, she would die or have to serve in the military. The Empire's criminal law had been rewritten five years ago, and if it really came down to the son paying for the father's debts, she had nothing to say.

Just as she inherited this body and survived, she also accepted all those absurd accusations from before.

If the father of this body was truly a rebel, then the suffering he endured back then cannot be forgiven simply by her saying a few words now.

The two men remained in the cell for an unknown amount of time, with no one coming to announce their fate or the outcome; it was as if everyone had forgotten about them.

...

At Lu's younger brother's villa.

"Tell me, what exactly does Grandpa mean? Sister Lan has been locked up for three days."

Wu Lin glanced at him, then lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Fang Yao, have you ever thought that Grandpa Lu is actually telling you that Sister Lan might not really be Sister Lan?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Haven't you ever spent time with Sister Lan? We grew up together. Even if she used to say hurtful things, she never harmed anyone. She is Sister Lan."

He didn't care about repaying a debt of gratitude from eighteen years ago. The person he had grown up with since childhood was Sister Lan. Was he really going to just stand by and watch Sister Lan be imprisoned on a criminal planet?

It was simply because of her father, whom she had never met in her life.

"Xiao Linzi, put your heart into it, isn't Sister Lan good to you?"

"That's not what I meant, Fang Yao, calm down."

Wu Lin knew, of course, that Lu Yulan was a good person, kind to everyone, but things were not good now. Look at the situation online now. Eighteen years ago, that was a painful memory that no one wanted to mention.

"Look at the StarNet right now, how many people are leaving messages on Sister Lan's StarNet space telling her to die?"

"This is public outrage, and we can't afford to offend public outrage."

Lu Fangyao wasn't unaware of this, and it was precisely because he was aware of it that he was angry, that he...

Moreover, his brother doesn't know what's wrong with him. He was perfectly fine at the blind date banquet that day, but now he's ignoring him completely, even when it comes to Sister Lan's affairs.

"Who says you can't afford to offend the public? I'll do it anyway."

Suddenly, a person stood at the door: Chu Rui.

Why did you come here?

"You guys are useless. I'm going to save Sister Lan. Even if it means smashing up the police station, I'll get her out. Is the dead more important than the living?"

"Haven't you done enough, Sister Lan, in the past two years?"
