"Baby has earned 100 points, keep it up!" 666 flew around in the system space, "Next, it's time for us to elope!"
"Run away from the wedding?" Rong Rong asked in confusion. "This isn't an option in the task list."
"Although this isn't a mandatory task, it's something the original owner was going to do. We need to maintain the original owner's persona, and it would be safer to do the same things as the original owner!"
The advice came from the experienced 666. This method was taught to it by its senior before the mission. The senior was a gold-medal system, and 666 had complete faith in him.
"Okay." Rong Rong, who had little social experience, was immediately convinced.
Because of her exceptional beauty, Rong Rong was raised at home by her parents from a young age and was not allowed to go out. She even went to school online.
If 666 hadn't approached her, she would have spent her entire life in a cage-like room.
"I'll do whatever you say!" Rong Rong nodded obediently.
The beauty's wholehearted trust caused 666 to turn completely red again. It was clearly an emotionless AI, but it repeatedly displayed human emotions in front of its host.
Confused, 666 retreated to the small dark room and started a virus scan, while Rong Rong began to carry out the task given to her by 666.
She removed the heavy phoenix crown from her head to make it easier to run away, and tiptoed to the door and pushed it open.
The two maids immediately put on stern faces and stretched out their arms to block Rong Rong's way.
"Madam, you are not allowed to go out..."
Then came a long silence. The two men's fierce expressions lasted for less than a second before they froze in place.
Rong Rong blinked, tentatively took a step forward, and seeing that the two did not react, she quickly left.
Rong Rong was lucky enough not to encounter anyone else on the way. She quickly moved through the Du residence, and with the original owner's memories, she headed straight for the back door.
At a pavilion, a handsome man dressed in a blue python robe, as imposing as a pine tree, stood with his hands behind his back by the railing.
He exuded an imposing aura, his power unmatched by any man, and his sharp, cold eyes flashed with a chilling light that made people afraid to meet his gaze.
"Your Highness," Ping An called softly from behind the man, "it's Vice Minister Du's daughter-in-law who ran away."
Just now, Rong Rong was seen by these two people as she walked through the garden.
"Tell Vice Minister Du," Zhu Chunji instructed calmly.
...
Rongrong walked very smoothly after leaving the mansion. The only strange thing was the reaction of everyone on the street when they saw her.
Some stood frozen like wooden stakes, others looked dazed, and some even knelt on the ground devoutly, chanting incantations to her.
In addition, even more people surrounded Rong Rong, including some who looked like they were insane.
Rong Rong, who had never seen such a scene before, felt a little flustered for a moment.
She quickened her pace, trying to escape, but by the time she came to her senses, she was already surrounded by the crowd. Looking around, she saw no other way out.
Just as someone was about to pounce on Rong Rong, the crowd suddenly parted like Moses parting the sea, creating a passage from behind.
A group of officers and soldiers rushed out first, forming a circle at the front of the crowd to block the somewhat out-of-control crowd.
Then someone rode a tall horse through the passage and came to Rong Rong.
The newcomer was exceptionally brave and imposing, with a rugged face and an aura of menace, as if he had just come from a battlefield.
His dark eyes stared intently at Rong Rong, their expression enigmatic. He seemed like a ferocious beast poised to pounce, ready to devour her at any moment.
"Good heavens, so everyone wasn't exaggerating, she really is a fairy descended from heaven?!" The man's second-in-command, also riding a large horse, murmured in amazement.
The once noisy crowd had quieted down, seemingly somewhat intimidated by the man at the front.
Rong Rong slowly backed away and turned to leave when suddenly the sound of hooves arose and a strong wind swept by. Rong Rong's body was suddenly suspended in the air and landed on the horse in an instant, burying herself in a broad chest.
Rong Rong gasped and struggled instinctively, but the man's arms were like an impenetrable wall. With her kitten-like strength, she couldn't budge them at all. Instead, he held her tighter and tighter in his arms.
Then I sensed the man turn his horse around and was about to ride away.
Before Rong Rong could get anxious, a sudden whooshing sound rang out, and Rong Rong felt the horse beneath her suddenly rear up on its hind legs.
Then a gust of wind whistled past his ears, and the man reined in his horse and stopped in place. Not far from them, a sharp arrow was firmly stuck in the ground.
With a clang, swords were drawn, and the man's second-in-command rode forward, warily watching the back of the crowd.
"General Yang, where are you taking my sister-in-law?"
A familiar voice came from the crowd—it was Du Shaoqun!
Rong Rong subconsciously turned her head to look, but the man pressed her firmly against his chest, forcing her to lie in his arms.
"You've mistaken me for someone else." Yang Yan looked down at Du Shaoqun on the ground with a condescending and oppressive gaze. In his eyes, Du Shaoqun, who had just come of age, was just a little kid who hadn't even grown his first hair yet.
Du Shaoqun had an arrogant look on his face. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, his greatest wish was to gallop across the battlefield, but he was different from others.
Everyone else idolizes Yang Yan, the God of War, but he treats people as targets to be trampled underfoot.
"Of course I wouldn't mistake my sister-in-law. A dignified general forcibly abducting a respectable woman in the street? Could he be a lecherous glutton?" Du Shaoqun sneered, crossing his arms and meeting Yang Yan's terrifying gaze without fear.
"If I remember correctly, your elder brother is mentally challenged, isn't he?" Yang Yan smirked, his face full of disdain. "How could a fool have a wife? Did the Du family deceive you into marriage?"
"General Yang need not worry about that. Our two families have a marriage agreement, and it is a matter of mutual consent."
"Really?" Yang Yan raised an eyebrow, looking down at Rong Rong in his arms. "You're willing?"
Rong Rong: "..."
Rong Rong, whose speech had been released, wanted to say she was willing because she had to return to the Du family to become the male protagonist's wife.
She was just pretending to run away from the wedding, so why did someone suddenly appear and try to kidnap her?
But you can't say it like that; given the original owner's character, she definitely wouldn't want to.
"My daughter did not do it willingly." Rong Rong said somewhat dejectedly, her words carrying a hint of grievance.
To outsiders, Rong Rong was portrayed as a wronged woman forced into this marriage, a weak woman completely out of her element.
Yang Yan's heart tightened, and he hugged Rong Rong even tighter, a wave of heartache washing over him.
Du Shaoqun's face turned green and red; green because of Rong Rong's answer, and red because of Rong Rong's overly alluring voice.
Just hearing her name gives one the feeling that this woman must be an absolute beauty.
But now is not the time to think about these things.
Du Shaoqun's face darkened as he glared at Yang Yan, who was wearing a victorious smile, and at Rong Rong, who was completely covered in his arms.
He knew that if he and his second brother hadn't deliberately disguised themselves as ugly and disabled to avoid marriage, Rong Rong wouldn't have chosen his eldest brother.
But knowing this is one thing, but Rong Rong has already married his elder brother and now she wants to back out and run away from the marriage, which makes him very unhappy. The Du family can't afford to lose face like this.
