Ever since Li Xian`er had disappeared, Qian Huanhuan had been sulking every day. She refused to eat, slept in an uneasy chair, and locked herself in her room. She didn't want to go anywhere. She naturally did not believe Qian Jin's explanation. She felt that there must be some secret behind it. Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Du!" Du! "Du!"

Huanhuan impatiently asked, "Who is it?"

"Huanhuan, it's father. Open the door!"

"What are you doing here?"

"Come and look at my darling daughter. Hurry and open the door for daddy."

"In the future, you will never leave the earth!" Have you forgotten my law? "

"What kind of shitty rules are these? Daddy has something important to talk to you about."

"I'm not interested in your big business."

"It's not father's fault, it's your life."

"I only want my Li Xiaoxian. There's no need to talk about anything else."

"Yours? Yours? You don't even call me dad? You're getting more and more out of hand!" Don't be impatient, open the door for Father! "

"Don't go down there in the future!"

"..."

He became a little angry and said: "Alright, if you don't open it then don't open it. You better listen well Father, on the eighth day of next month, the eldest son of the Sun Ascent City's Mayor will marry you. If you agree, then so be it, if not, you have to agree!" With that, he left in a huff.

Qian Huanhuan had also heard of the Qi family in the Sun Ascent City. The Qi family had power, influence, and wealth. The eldest son of the Qi family was rumored to be a handsome, capable, and refined person. Many girls dreamed of becoming the daughter-in-law of the Qi Family, but so what? To Qian Huanhuan, Li Xiaoxian was the only person she cared about.

Right at that moment, the sound of knocking on the door sounded out again. "Du!" Du! "Du!"

When Qian Huanhuan heard the knock on the door, her eyebrows scrunched together again. She thought that her father had come again. She shouted, "I can't say anymore! You can go now!"

"Lady, it's me, Xiu-Er."

Hearing Xiu-Er's voice, Qian Huanhuan pouted like two carp. She blamed Xiu-Er in her heart. If Li Xiaoxian hadn't gone out to help send Xiu-Er's letter, he wouldn't have been taken away.

Qian Huanhuan unwillingly got off the bed, opened the door and returned to her bed.

Xiu-Er brought in two bowls of soup and a plate of snacks and put them on the table.

"Ouch! Why are you so loud. Xiu-Er, can't you lower your voice? It's getting more and more out of hand. " Qian Huanhuan mumbled.

Xiu-Er had been serving the little miss since she was young. Since she knew her temper, Qian Huanhuan was naturally looking for trouble. She said, "Alright, alright. Xiu-Er, just pay attention next time." "Miss, one bowl of porridge is seafood porridge while the other one is Eight Treasures Porridge. Which bowl do you want to drink first?"

Qian Huanhuan absent-mindedly pointed at a bowl of porridge. Xiu-Er picked up the bowl and walked over to the bed. She scooped up a spoonful of porridge and blew on it. "Young miss, open your mouth."

Qian Huanhuan opened her thick mouth and scooped a spoonful of congee into her mouth. She smacked her lips and said, "It's too salty!"

"Salty? "Then let's drink another bowl." Xiu-Er took another bowl and scooped another spoonful in front of Huanhuan's mouth.

"It's too sweet!"

Xiu-Er smiled and said, "Let's sort it out first. It's late."

Qian Huanhuan pouted and got off the bed. She sat in front of the dowry and Xiu-Er started to comb her hair.

"Hey, Xiu-Er, be a bit more gentle. I was wondering why you did it so casually. Your scalp is going to break."

Other maidservants would have cried a long time ago, because Xiu-Er had a good temper and could tolerate the young lady's bad temper. She knew that the young lady was in a bad mood after the young lord had disappeared, so she was very understanding. "Young lady, I heard that the eldest young master of the Qi family …"

"Stop talking, I got it. That young master of the Qi family is coming to marry me. Hmph, I'm not going. No one is better than this little deity!"

"Miss, you've been bewitched by that Li Xiaoxian. What's so good about him? He's neither tall nor intimidating, and when he talks, he speaks in a soft voice. His entire body smells like makeup and he can't do anything." Xiu-Er comforted him.

"Xiu-Er, how can you say that about him? If it wasn't for this little deity helping you mail the letter, would he have been taken away by the bandits? I don't know how he is doing right now, but I'm almost worried to death, and it's all your fault! " Huanhuan finally said the words that had been suppressed within her heart for a long time.

"I know that Young Master is actually a good person. I also feel very sad that he was taken away, but now that the young master of the Qi family has come looking for you to marry Miss, and Young Master is not here anymore, can't you think for yourself?" "Besides, if that young master of the Qi family wants money and money and looks, the young miss would have been blessed by many generations if she had married him. Everyone would be jealous to death."

"Did my father send you here as a lobbyist?"

"Not really."

"Have you seen the eldest son of the Qi family with your own eyes?"

"Nope."

"Since there isn't any, how do you know that he is better than Li Xiaoxian?"

"This... That's what they all say. "

"Hmph, even if the young master of the Qi family is really as good as the rumors say, I still like Li Xiaoxian."

"Lady," Xiu-Er suddenly leaned over and whispered, "I think there is something wrong with him. I don't know if he has ears or eyes. Did you notice?"

"What?" Qian Huanhuan was surprised, "Xiu-Er, are you seeing things?"

"I have good eyes, miss. Look at his skin, it's white and tender, and his eyelashes are long and thick. Look at him walking, talking, laughing, what makes him look like a man? The key point is that a great beauty like Miss is someone who a man wouldn't be able to control even if he saw her. But he wasn't moved at all and didn't even touch you, and … "

Qian Huanhuan thought about what Xiu-Er had said. Every time when they were eating, Li Xiaoxian would eat slowly. When they walked, he walked lightly and gracefully. When he smiled, he covered his mouth with his hands and kept his smile to himself …

The more Qian Huanhuan thought about it, the more she felt that Xiu-Er's words made sense. She could not help but feel a little scared, "Oh my god, if all of this is true, then I am really like a fool. I have been with a woman for three months and I did not realize it. Was Li Xiaoxian really a woman? If it's a woman, then why would she dress up as a man to deceive me? Could she be hiding something?

A series of questions flashed across Qian Huanhuan's mind. Her brain had never worked so quickly since she was born. "Li Xiaoxian, Li Xiaoxian …" Qian Huanhuan silently chanted this name in her heart …

"No way!" Qian Huanhuan abruptly slammed on the table and said excitedly, "I'm going to find him. I want to ask him in front of him!"

She then walked to the door. Xiu-Er was scared. She quickly blocked the door.

"Miss, I can't accept this. You are currently in the midst of marrying off. On the eighth day of next month, the Qi family will be coming to marry you. If you leave now, then, what should Master do?" Xiu-Er looked at Qian Huanhuan timidly and said, "Master has been guarding those treasures all day. He is not the type of person who would return the gift."

Xiu-Er was right. Qian Huanhuan must know what her father was like.

"Then what should we do?"

Qian Huanhuan pouted and looked at Xiu-Er worriedly.

Xiu-Er continued, "The most important thing is that we are all under Master's watch right now."

Hearing this, Qian Huanhuan's lips curved up into a smile as tears rolled down her cheeks. She cried as she said, "I don't want to marry any young master of the Qi family, I miss my little tender husband. Without him, I won't be able to live, wuwuwu …"

Xiu-Er tried to comfort him, "Lady, don't cry."

"Wuwuwu …" Xiu-Er, someone like you... 'Little girl, root... ' You don't know what love is. " Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something. She grabbed Xiu-Er's hand and begged, "Xiu-Er, my good Xiu-Er, the only one who can help me now is you. If you can help me escape, I will promise you anything you want."

"Miss, don't be in such a hurry. Rao Xiu-Er, think about it."

Seeing Qian Huanhuan crying so miserably, Xiu-Er was very sad. Ever since she entered the Qian house, she had been Qian Huanhuan's maid. Although she was a maid, Qian Huanhuan never saw her as a servant. The two of them were closer than sisters.

Xiu-Er thought for a while and then her eyes lit up. She said to Qian Huanhuan, "Lady, there is a way!" He hesitated again. "But …"

Just as Qian Huanhuan felt a tinge of joy, she saw Xiu-Er's troubled face and quickly urged, "But what? "Xiu-Er, what do you think?"

Xiu-Er thought for a moment before she whispered into Qian Huanhuan's ear. Qian Huanhuan was shocked by what she heard. Her face turned pale as beads of sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Is this the only way?" Qian Huan Huan asked unwillingly after she heard Xiu-Er's words.

"Yes." Xiu-Er nodded.

After Qian Huanhuan pondered for a while, she suddenly saw her eyebrows that were as thick as a bean shake. She resolutely said, "For my sweet husband, this small setback is nothing. I, Qian Huanhuan, will throw caution to the wind this time!"

"..."

At dawn, a dung cart stopped at the Qian house's backyard. Every day, the dung cart would come to collect dung at a fixed time, and a few servants would hurriedly carry the dung bucket to the car. Due to the heavy smell, everyone's faces were covered with cloth.

"Sigh!" "You!" A servant who was carrying a bucket of dung said to the fat servant who was working with him, "Look at you, you're covered in meat. Why aren't you helping? If you want to be lazy, then don't try to work for the Qian Family. The Qian Family doesn't raise lazy people.

The fat servant answered vaguely.

After a while, about a dozen buckets of dung were loaded onto the cart.

The coachman shouted, raised his whip, and swung it. The two horses slowly pulled the dung cart away from the Qian house, moving away from it.

"Bam!" The Qian Family's door was shut tight. Several servants kept patting their dirty clothes. At this moment, one of the servant scratched his head and muttered, "Strange, where is the fat guy?"

The two horses struggled to move forward, their wheels making creaking sounds. The coachman turned his head and looked at the barrels on the cart, shaking his head in disbelief. At that time, it was these barrels as well, but he didn't feel anything, so why did he feel so heavy today?

Seeing Qian Huanhuan leave the Qian Family safely, Xiu-Er, who was hiding in the dark, felt both happy and distressed. As for the young miss of the Qian Family, who was used to living a comfortable life, suddenly came to the outside world. As he thought about it, tears started streaming down his cheeks.
