The maid said, "Young Master Xiao, men and women should not touch each other. Your impolite act of getting directly into my young lady's carriage is disrespectful and damages her reputation."
Xiao Chang'an then realized that he had been so focused on taking his sister back that he had forgotten about this.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I really have an urgent matter to attend to."
Sun Rugo glanced at the girl in Xiao Chang'an's arms, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
The girl had her eyes closed, and she was indeed beautiful, with a face that could topple kingdoms.
Even Sun Rugo was somewhat surprised.
So Xiao Chang'an likes beautiful women; men are all lustful after all!
His gaze toward the girl couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure.
"Xiao Chang'an, do you know that taking her back for no reason is bad for her reputation?"
"You don't even understand the basic principle of marrying someone as a wife, having them as a concubine, or having them as a prostitute?"
Xiao Chang'an was puzzled.
He simply found his sister and wanted to take her back to show his father and older brother as soon as possible. How did that become stealing?
"Ruge, I know I was rude and it was wrong of me,"
"But I didn't steal it. It's my sister. I'll go back and tell my father and older brother right away."
Sun Rugo's expression stiffened upon hearing Xiao Chang'an's words. "Sister?"
Madam Ye is unconscious, and Wanwan has left. Is he using his sister as a cover to take his sweetheart back?
How could I possibly lie to myself and never marry?
"Xiao Chang'an, you really are a liar. You said you would never marry, but now you've taken a sister back to cover up your lie, is that it?"
"No, this really is my sister!!"
Xiao Chang'an was eager to defend himself.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Tianjue's voice rang out from outside the carriage.
"Are you still leaving?" Fearing that it would tarnish Xiao Wanwan's reputation, Tianjue had no choice but to hand Wanwan over to Xiao Chang'an.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Chang'an had romantic entanglements outside of marriage.
Tsk tsk.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xiao Chang'an shouted to the coachman outside the carriage upon hearing this.
Seeing that his young mistress did not call for a stop, the coachman drove the carriage toward the Regent's Palace.
Sun Rugo was furious. It was bad enough that Xiao Chang'an was riding in her carriage with his sweetheart, but he even dared to order his own people around.
She gritted her teeth, "Xiao Chang'an, you philandering scoundrel, you shameless man!!"
Xiao Chang'an said, "How am I shameless? I just brought my sister home and told my elder brother and father."
"You're shameless!!" Sun Rugo said angrily.
Over the years, Xiao Chang'an has repeatedly said that he would never marry, but what about now?
He actually turned around and brought such a beautiful woman into his mansion, even lying that she was his sister.
Wanwan has been missing for eleven years and there has been no trace of her. She has searched for her secretly several times. If she were to be found, how could the Regent's Palace remain undiscovered?
"You—" With their arrival at the mansion imminent, Xiao Rui'an had no mood to bicker with her today.
"Miss, we have arrived at the Regent's Palace."
Sun Rugo said, "Mm."
Xiao Chang'an immediately lifted the carriage curtain and carefully carried Xiao Wanwan out of the car.
Seeing how protective he was of her, Sun Rugo bit her lip and remained silent.
She intended to leave directly, but there were people at the door, so she had no choice but to get off the carriage.
"Second brother, why are you so late?" Xiao Rui'an didn't see Xiao Chang'an in the house, so he knew that he must have gone to the Temple of the Goddess to look for clues.
He draped the shawl over himself and was about to come out when he saw him carrying a woman back.
Who is the woman in his arms?
Xiao Chang'an cried out urgently, "Big brother, it's our sister, our sister!!"
Xiao Rui'an was startled and immediately looked down.
The woman slept peacefully with her eyes closed. "Sister? Wanwan???"
"Yes, today I went to the Temple of the Goddess and suddenly saw a young hero descend from the sky. I never expected it to be my sister."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Rui'an clenched his fists, trying to calm his excited heart, and then looked outside.
I saw a man standing at the door.
His face paled in shock, "Tianjue?"
"Big brother, do you know him?" Xiao Chang'an was already excited as he held Xiao Wanwan in his arms, and now he was surprised to learn that his brother knew that man.
Xiao Rui'an looked at his younger sister in his arms, then stepped out.
The boy stood on the steps, his gaze calm.
"Tianjue, thank you!"
Tianjue said, "Take good care of Wanwan. Her soul has just returned to her body, so she may sleep for a few days. Don't worry."
"good!"
Sun Rugo had just stepped off the carriage when she heard Tianjue call out "Wanwan".
I was so scared I almost twisted my ankle.
She looked shocked, then at the equally astonished maid beside her, "Xique, is she really Chang'an's sister?"
“Miss, I heard it too. That young master called the woman in Young Master Xiao’s arms, Wanwan.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Rugo recalled how she had scolded Xiao Chang'an in the carriage earlier, and her face instantly turned crimson.
What did she just say?
To be betrothed as a wife, to secretly take as a concubine, to engage in prostitution?
She covered her cheeks in shame, curtsied to Xiao Rui'an, and immediately turned to get into the carriage.
"Miss?" The maid was confused. Wasn't Miss going to greet them?
"Let's go back to the mansion."
"yes."
How embarrassing! How could she think like that!
This woman is so beautiful, and her features resemble Madam Ye's; she should have realized it.
Over here, Xiao Rui'an watched Sun Rugo leave and then beckoned Tianjue into the mansion.
Eleven years ago, when the nine stars aligned, he suddenly coughed up blood, his eyes glazed over, and he stumbled and fell by the roadside. Later, the eldest daughter of the Chu family escorted him back to his residence.
He was devastated when he woke up and learned that his sister was missing.
Not long after, he discovered that he had spiritual power. It was around that time that he secretly met Tian Jue many times, and the two are now considered friends.
