Luo Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yining come out.

But then his gaze fixed on Yining's wrist.

Her skin was very delicate, and even the slightest pressure would leave red marks. Who had just held her hand? Luo Shenyuan looked up and noticed that Cheng Lang was a little unusual today.

This man's smile is like a mask, he has always been gentle and elegant. But now his eyes are slightly red, and there are messy wrinkles on his cuffs.

…What on earth are they doing in there?

Luo Shenyuan thought expressionlessly, his eyes fixed on Cheng Lang with a cold gleam. "Sir Cheng, if this wasn't a kidnapping, no one in the world would dare to call themselves a bandit. If you release my sister, I'll release your guards as well. I think if I capture one or two and question them, I might be able to find out something remarkable. What do you think of this, Sir Cheng?"

Yining wanted to speak, but Cheng Lang held her back and stopped her from speaking.

Luo Shenyuan's lips curled up into a smile: "Master Cheng is unwilling? Then when the people from Shuntian Prefecture come, Master Cheng will have a hard time explaining it."

Cheng Lang knew Luo Shenyuan didn't want to alert the authorities. His fiancée and sister were in his hands. What would happen to their reputations if word got out? That was why he was negotiating terms with him, leaving him with a last shred of shame, to prevent this from getting out. This was his original intention, which was why he dared to bring his men to directly abduct Sun Congwan.

In the past, he would have naturally used Sun Congwan to deal with Luo Shenyuan. However, now that he knew Yi Ning was her, this matter might implicate Yi Ning, and he dared not do anything that might harm her.

It turned out that the things he had done were enough to make him hate himself.

Cheng Lang said, "Since it was an accidental encounter, it is understandable that Lord Luo wants to take his sister away. There is no need to inform the authorities." He lowered his head and said to Yining, "You...you go first, I will come to find you when we return to the Duke of Ying's Mansion." He had just lost her and found her again, and actually did not want to leave her for a moment, but after all, Luo Shenyuan was right in front of him.

The two of them are now at odds with each other, and I'm afraid he won't even let him into the Luo family.

Luo Yining nodded and walked out from behind him. Qingqu and others immediately surrounded him.

Luo Shenyuan's face looked even uglier. After he led his men out of the teahouse and saw the two people getting on the carriage, he was ready to get on the carriage in front of him.

At this time, Sun Congwan opened the carriage curtain, called to him, and whispered to him, "Brother Shenyuan, thank you very much this time. It's just that Congwan accidentally destroyed your letter..." Her face was bitter, "I don't know what important things were written in your letter. The situation was urgent at the time. In order to prevent it from being snatched away by that person, sister Yining took it and tore it up. It's all Congwan's fault."

Luo Shenyuan knew from hearing this that nothing had been accomplished, that the entire plan had gone awry. He had even lost the initiative in saving them. He said calmly, "It's nothing. I'll just rewrite it. You've been frightened today. Go back first."

When Sun Congwan heard what Luo Shenyuan said, she didn't say anything more to him. She nodded with a slight blush and lowered the curtain obediently.

Yining watched quietly in another carriage before lowering the curtain.

She leaned against the soft pillows of the carriage, her hands clenched tightly.

Luo Shenyuan took Yi Ning and Sun Congwan on their separate ways, and they soon returned to the mansion. The sun was just setting when Yi Ning got off the carriage and walked ahead with the maids, not wanting to say a word to him. Luo Shenyuan followed her leisurely. Yi Ning entered her own courtyard and wanted the maid to close the gate. Luo Shenyuan's hand intervened.

The girl was immediately frightened and didn't dare to close the door.

Luo Shenyuan walked in, looked at her and asked, "Why, don't you want to see me?" He had just rescued her from Cheng Lang.

No one knew what the two of them did in that room. Cheng Lang's attitude towards her was clearly different from before. He was going back to the Duke of Ying's mansion to see her again? Cheng Lang's cuffs were disheveled, and there were red marks on her wrists... Thinking of this, Luo Shenyuan took a step closer and immediately grabbed her hand, ignoring her objections.

Luo Yining didn't want to see him. When he suddenly grabbed her hand, she immediately tried to break free, but her third brother saw the red mark on her wrist, which had almost faded. Seeing it, he asked coldly: "You and him were so intimate in the room. Have you forgotten what happened last time? But he didn't help you when you were dying!"

"Let go!" Yi Ning couldn't break free from his iron-like grip, her face flushed with anger. But in front of him, she was still like a child, without the strength to resist. The argument between the two had already caught the attention of Zhenzhu, who quickly made the little girl retreat.

Although they are siblings, they are not biologically related after all. Look at the look in the Third Young Master's eyes and the tone of his voice...

It's better not to let these little girls around. Even she felt that something was wrong. The Third Young Master didn't act like a sister at all!

Yi Ning was so angry that she didn't realize that there was something wrong with Luo Shenyuan's attitude towards her. This was not the gentle brother she usually was. This Luo Shenyuan was more like the Lord Luo who punished his servants.

He forced her closer to the golden nanmu eight-immortal table. She had no choice but to look up at him and say, "This was all your plan! The messenger, the hijacking...it was all because of you!"

Others don’t know, but she understands.

Luo Shenyuan sneered again. She was too close, and her anger was too vivid. Compared to that young girl, she had indeed grown up. Her waist was so thin that it almost leaned against the edge of the table. If it was any lower, it would break. He said, "What do you mean by that?"
