Seeing Ah Li's appearance, Xu Yi said with disgust, "What are you doing wearing these clothes now?"

Ahri chuckled softly, holding a candle as she asked, "And what about you? What are you doing with so many guards?"

"Of course, we'll drag you to the front yard and let everyone in the manor see that you, this wicked woman, have no shame and dared to climb over the wall to escape the manor!"

"Oh."

Ah Li chuckled softly, "Xu Yi, is this your first time in this courtyard?"

"So what if it is?"

Xu Yi had no desire to continue arguing with Ah Li. If this person wasn't punished today, who knew what kind of trouble he might cause later.

I thought that locking the person in the courtyard and ignoring them would make them repent, but instead, the person not only didn't repent, they even climbed over the wall and left the mansion.

It's truly hateful.

Hearing the sound of fire burning inside the house, Ah Li slowly walked towards the paulownia tree and said, "I don't know how old this tree is, but the yard is full of fallen leaves."

Xu Yi also looked at the big tree, which had been in the Prince Jing's mansion as long as he could remember.

Suddenly, a guard shouted to Xu Yi, "Young Master, be careful!"

Before Xu Yi could react, he was kidnapped by Ah Li.

The candle in Ahri's hand had fallen to the ground at some point, but the flame continued to burn, igniting the fallen leaves on the ground.

Ah Li grabbed Xu Yi by the neck and made the guards back.

Xu Yi leaned against Ah Li, angrily asking, "You wicked woman, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ahri, as if possessed, said, "I've liked you since the first time I saw you, but you only like my sister. Every time you and my sister go out, I can only watch you from behind, waiting for you at the bookstore and the teahouse."

"You two are in love, yet you want me to cover for you."

"Later, when my sister fell into the water, you didn't ask any questions or investigate, and just said that I was the one who killed her. Today, you didn't even ask me why I climbed over the wall, but just brought people to arrest me!"

"Xu Yi! Now that you've come, don't leave. Stay in this courtyard with me forever!"
