"Miss Nangong, you're here too late. We've all been waiting for you for so long." Sima Bo wanted to show his power, but he didn't expect Nangong Ruowei to come at the exact time she had planned. She didn't even bother to say she was late. After she took a seat, everyone started to drink tea and recite poems.

"She is so beautiful..." Shu'er was still in shock at Nangong Ruowei's beauty, while Han Suche on the other side had already stolen everything and was preparing to escape.

"I told you to stop talking about how pretty she is. She has such a beautiful face and such a good family background. It's something we all want in our lifetime." Han Suche had seen through all these things a long time ago. God is never fair! "Let's go."

The two took their things and left, while on the other side, Gu Yunru and Wu Liang were walking on the street. Both of them were wearing veil hats and their whereabouts were very mysterious.

"Don't you think we'll attract more attention if we dress like this?" Gu Yunru couldn't stand this outfit. Besides, the search was very rigorous and anyone wearing a hat would become the target of public criticism. She didn't believe that Wu Liang didn't know this.

"Let's go! There are soldiers here." Wu Liang took her hand and quickly ran to a teahouse. The two of them broke in and hid.

Nangong Ruowei listened to Huang Li's words and now formally brought Rong Zhen out to show everyone that these so-called high and mighty young masters were not as handsome as a servant in her house.

"Sima Bo, haven't you always claimed to be the most handsome man in Taocheng? Today I will open your eyes." After saying that, he clapped his hands and asked someone to invite Rong Zhen out. The moment Rong Zhen appeared on the scene, the whole audience was silent, and they were all surprised by his appearance.

"How could this be? Where did this man come from?!" The moment Sima Bo saw Rong Zhen, the flames of jealousy burned more and more vigorously in his chest.

"He's just a servant in my house. I didn't expect his appearance to be unparalleled in the world, right?" Nangong Ruowei mocked him complacently. Sima Bo walked in front of Rong Zhen in a rage, looking at his handsome eyebrows and tall figure, and found that there was really no way he could compare to him.

"How could there be such a man in the world?!"

Sima Bo seemed to be going crazy. Nangong Ruowei snorted disdainfully and said, "It was you, Sima Bo, who was sitting in a well and looking at the sky. You thought there was no man more handsome than you in the world. How about it? Now you know how it feels to be slapped in the face?"

"You! Nangong Ruowei, you brought this man here on purpose just to reduce my prestige, right?!"

"That's right. I just want you to take a piss and look in the mirror. You look worse than even a servant in our mansion."

Everyone was trying hard to hold back their laughter. Sima Bo left the scene in a rage. Huang Li said apprehensively, "Miss, you made Sima Bo lose face in front of everyone this time. A vindictive person like him will probably take revenge on you."

"So what? If you have the guts, just let him come over here!"

At the same time, Gu Yunru and Wu Liang were hiding behind the kitchen of the teahouse. A cook came over and was shocked to see two extra heads in the vegetable basket. "Who are you and why are you here!" Gu Yunru suddenly had an idea.

"We are here to serve the dishes. Uh, Miss Nangong said that your dishes are really slow to arrive, so I came over to hurry them up." The cook nodded as if realizing something and said, "So it was Miss Nangong who wanted the dishes. Tell her not to be anxious. The dishes will be ready soon." The cook's attitude immediately became much better. It turned out that using a beauty as a shield was very effective.

Gu Yunru and Wu Liang slipped out in embarrassment. There were no posters with their portraits on the street, and there was no need to be so evasive as to throw the veil aside. "Let's just go out openly. There are so many people in this teahouse. Are they holding a party?"

"The tea picking party is so boring." Wu Liang seemed to be disdainful.

At the same time, the Nangong Mansion was suffering from a disaster. It turned out that someone wrote a letter of impeachment, saying that the Nangong Mansion had connections with the Zoroastrians. Some yellow talismans and tools used by Zoroastrians were also found in his mansion. As a result, Lord Nangong was taken away for investigation and his mansion was raided.

Gu Yunru and Wu Liang arrived near Nangong Mansion and found that there were many people surrounding it inside and outside, and many precious things in the house were quickly removed.

"Isn't this the Nangong Mansion? How come it happened so suddenly?..." Gu Yunru still recognized the words on the plaque. On the other side, Nangong Ruowei was preparing to return home. The housekeeper came and begged her not to go back at the risk of his life. After listening carefully, she realized that it was her father who had committed a crime.

"How could this happen? I want to see my father!" Nangong Ruowei was determined to see him for the last time. The butler knelt down in front of her with tears in his eyes.

"Miss, you must not go back. Several young masters have been captured." The butler risked his life to come here just to persuade her not to go back.

"But……"

"Yes, Miss, just listen to the butler. The butler is the most trusted person around the master, and what he says must be true." Even Huang Li was advising her. At this moment, Nangong Ruowei was confused and didn't know what to do.

Rong Zhen changed into a brocade robe and was about to say goodbye to Nangong Ruowei and leave, but he saw Nangong Ruowei crying sadly beside the carriage.

"What's going on?" Rong Zhen walked forward with a curious look on his face. The housekeeper couldn't help but frowned when he saw this unfamiliar young man.

"It's none of your business, you should leave." Nangong Ruowei didn't want to implicate others, so she told him to leave quickly. Rong Zhen saw Huang Li beside him also had a flustered look, and he clearly saw Huang Li with a man just now, so he didn't know what to say and looked very cautious.

"Miss, let's go to Lord Yan's house to take shelter. Lord Yan has a good relationship with the master, maybe he can help us." Huang Li advised her, and Nangong Ruowei nodded. This was the only way now.

Rong Zhen felt bad seeing Nangong Ruowei letting him go like this, and he always felt that there was something wrong with that Huang Li.

Especially the consoling look just now made him feel that there was something strange, so he followed him calmly.

Lord Yan of the Yan Mansion only holds a seventh-rank official position in the court. With the protection of Lord Nangong, he can barely gain a foothold in Taocheng, but he has never been valued by the emperor.

He was plain-looking and didn't seem to have any ambitions, but he was actually a playboy and lustful man. Seeing that Huang Li had really kept her promise and brought her here, he knew it was not the right time to make a move, so he arranged her to stay in the wing room first.
