Zhao Pei panicked and pulled Ruhua, who was standing at the door, and ran away, hiding in a dark alley before the crowd behind them caught up. They huddled together in the corner, watching the figures flash by, and the sounds gradually faded away, leaving only their heavy breathing in the long alley.

"Miss... did we succeed?" Ruhua asked softly.

"I think so..." Zhao Pei didn't expect to escape so easily. She recalled the scene just now. She quickly poured wax on him, and it seemed to drip into his eyes. He fumbled around in pain. At that time, Zhao Pei's hands were shaking and her heart was weak. Was she too... Oh my God, she actually had the heart to do that.

It should be fine, just some wax.

I'm sorry, Xiao Yi.

I'm sorry, Dad. Please forgive my selfishness. I finally chose to follow my own heart.

I was still feeling melancholy, when suddenly my shoulders felt heavy and a slightly hoarse voice rang out: "Why are you here?"

The mountains are green and the waves are blue.

Xiao Lun walked along the soft sand beside the lake. He saw the man in white fishing not far away. He smiled and walked up to him quickly: "Brother."

Xiao Tong turned his head to look at him and smiled back: "Here I come."

At this moment, the people around him had already brought a stool. Xiao Lun lifted his robe and sat down. He took the fishing rod handed to him by the maid beside Xiao Tong. Upon closer inspection, he found that the woman was Qing Lan.

"We haven't fished together for a long time." Xiao Tong looked at the vast lake and said lightly, "You seem to be having trouble calming down recently."

Xiao Lun threw away the fishing line and smiled indifferently: "Why did you call me here, big brother?"

He said slowly: "When will you return to your fiefdom? Father has told you several times that you can't hang around in the capital anymore."

Xiao Lun frowned slightly and sighed, "There is still no news from her, how can I go back with peace of mind? This girl left without thinking about the dangers of the world, how can a little girl like her leave safely?"

Xiao Tong understood who the "she" he was talking about, and said, "Seventh brother has already gone to look for her. Liu Zhen, you... must know that the emperor has already arranged a marriage for her, so even if she is not satisfied, she can no longer have any fantasies."

These words seemed to touch Xiao Lun's sensitive spot, and he said angrily: "I just don't understand what father means? Why did he suddenly point Pepe to seventh brother? It shouldn't be his turn anyway. Why does he do that?" As he spoke, his suppressed anger could no longer be suppressed, and the fishing rod began to shake slightly in his hand.

Xiao Tong pretended not to hear anything and hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Father is still very afraid of my seventh brother."

Xiao Lun was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, but he scolded with disdain: "Father is still wrong, Seventh Brother is simply not..." Suddenly he stopped talking, in fact, he was also feeling frivolous.

Xiao Tong listened silently with a smile on his face, and then he chuckled softly with no clear meaning. He was not sure about his brother who was so silent and unpredictable.

The fishing line swayed slightly, and Xiao Lun quickly pulled up the fishing rod, but all he saw was an empty hook and ripples on the lake. Would the things he had decided to stick to really end up in vain? (To be continued)
