Prince Rui, don't spoil your adopted daughter too much: she will eventually get married

Chapter 256 The Young Master Lou, Deeply Entangled

After escaping the county government, he changed his name and moved to a new place to start a new life.

The woman excitedly accepted the medicine bottle, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Zhai Yun. "Thank you, young master! I will always remember your kindness and repay you in my next life by serving you like a cow or a horse!"

Zhai Yun didn't say much. After Yan Nanheng found the key, the two walked towards the cell they had just been in. When the cell opened, Zhai Yun was disappointed for a moment when she saw the woman.

The woman with her back to her had no mole on her neck.

"Could it be that the mole has disappeared? In this cell, no one else looks like her except for her." Yan Nanheng also looked helpless. Since they couldn't find her, it was a wasted trip.

Zhai Yun frowned. The scratches on the wall proved that someone had lived here for a long time, but she didn't have a mole. For a moment, Zhai Yun didn't know who to believe or whether to take her away.

"The person in this cell was replaced last night." A cold and distant voice suddenly rang out.

Zhai Yun felt the voice was familiar, and suddenly turned around, only to meet a pair of cold, icy eyes. Beside him were five beautiful women in white, but they all paled in comparison to him.

Zhai Yun was surprised, and Yan Nanheng frowned instantly. The clothes of these people were as white as snow, and the man in the lead was spotless and as white as jade, which was out of place in this dirty and dark cage.

In the dark, old prison cell, his appearance was like a ray of moonlight.

He gave Yan Nanheng a very strange feeling; among these few outstanding people, he and Zhai Yun hadn't even noticed them.

Looking at the man before her, whose hair was as white as jade and as black as ink, and who resembled a god, she felt a sense of disbelief. Although she had thought that they would meet again, she had never imagined that this would be the case.

How could such a pure and ethereal man end up in prison!

He looked at Zhai Yun, his eyes calm and still, without a ripple of emotion, and spoke coldly as if she were a long-lost stranger, "I saw it with my own eyes."

More curious than what he said was, Zhai Yun asked, "How did you end up here?"

The woman beside Lou Yexue said angrily, "It's all because of this disgusting county magistrate. He said my young master's origins were unknown and arrested him here without any explanation."

Another woman behind him spoke up: "Looking at my young master, he's practically drooling. I think he has ulterior motives. Didn't he try to force me to take a concubine today?"

The first woman to speak and the others who hadn't spoken yet, upon hearing her words, both tugged at her with embarrassed expressions, feeling that what she had said was very inappropriate.

No matter how handsome their young master is, he cannot be desecrated like this!

While they were all talking at once, Zhai Yun kept observing Lou Yexue, who did not recognize her.

A woman dressed in embroidered white brocade gently pushed through the crowd and stepped forward. She glanced at the woman who had just spoken, her eyes gentle as water: "No manners! You can't just make up stories about the young master like that!"

This woman seemed to appear out of nowhere; even her scolding voice was so gentle it could melt water. Zhai Yun had never seen anything like it before. She moved gracefully, her every step like a swaying flower, her whole being like a fairy herself.

Upon seeing this, the woman who had spoken inappropriately lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Miss Ziyan, I was wrong, I know I was wrong." Her attitude in admitting her mistake was very respectful.

Ruan Ziyan looked at Zhai Yun gently: "Young master, please don't mind them. They were just talking nonsense."

Not to mention that the magistrate was a womanizer, no man could resist a woman as graceful and charming as Ruan Ziyan, whose every step and movement was like a blooming flower, and whose eyes were as gentle as water.

Zhai Yun's adoring gaze made Ruan Ziyan's face look unnatural. She had seen this kind of infatuated look on countless men, but this was the first time she had seen it on a woman dressed as a man.

All of this seemed to have nothing to do with Lou Yexue. He looked at Zhai Yun and said coldly, "This person is in cahoots with the people who replaced the original prisoners."

With the shift change approaching, Yan Nanheng, seeing Zhai Yun's indifference, urgently reminded her, "The jailer on the next shift will be here soon. Should we take her away?"

Zhai Yun looked at the female prisoner who had just been pretending to be crazy and scribbling on the wall with her back to them, but who was now motionless, and replied, "Take her away!"

Yan Nanheng reacted quickly and grabbed the woman. The woman, who had been motionless, suddenly disappeared, leaving Yan Nanheng with nothing in his hand. A scarecrow fell to the ground.

Yan Nanheng couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, it's puppetry!"

As Zhai Yun watched this scene, her heart sank, and a bad premonition arose. Someone had taken the people away before them and even used puppets to cover it up.

Is the trail about to go cold again?

Yan Nanheng noticed a yellow talisman stuck in the scarecrow, with several large characters written on it. He picked it up and read the words aloud: "No. 27, Lotus Lane".

Zhai Yun stepped forward and snatched it. The handwriting was messy, which gave Zhai Yun hope again. "It seems that the clues have not been lost. The person who took Lian'er away just wanted to lure us there."

Only after understanding this did Zhai Yun feel at ease.

Yan Nanheng urged Zhai Yun to leave, but Zhai Yun couldn't bear to leave when she saw Lou Yexue and the others trapped in the prison. Although she and Yan Nanheng had disguised themselves, Lou Yexue didn't seem to recognize her.

However, she still owes Lou Yexue and Feng Chenyi a debt of gratitude for rescuing her from the bandit's den in Fengling City.

Helpless, Yan Nanheng grabbed a handful of straw and made several scarecrows. He then used puppetry to restore Lou Yexue and the others to their original forms, and restored Lian'er's puppet to its original state.

Ruan Ziyan saw the double in the cell who looked exactly like them and looked at Zhai Yun gratefully: "On behalf of my young master, I thank you for saving my life."

As Ruan Ziyan was about to kneel down, Zhai Yun quickly helped her up. Under Yan Nanheng's anxious urging gaze, he urged, "Let's go quickly. Only when we leave the county government office can we be considered to have escaped."

With Lou Yexue's abilities, the mere county government could not possibly imprison him, much less capture him.

Despite sending out so many spies to track him, Zhai Yun obtained very little information, yet she still intended to rescue them.

Because he pulled her out of the deepest hell, she still has many questions waiting for him to answer.

As dusk fell, the county government office became even more lively. After several rounds of drinks, there were drunken yamen runners and guests everywhere. Although Zhai Yun and her party were numerous, they easily slipped out of the county government office.

Zhai Yun didn't want to waste time. Once they reached a safe place, she wanted to part ways with Lou Yexue. She had disguised herself and knew Lou Yexue's whereabouts. She would go find him again after she revealed her true appearance.

Of course, during this time, she would have someone keep an eye on them.

Zhai Yun said, "I have important matters to attend to, so let's part ways here! Please be careful." She winked at Yan Nanheng, signaling him to leave.

"Young Master Rui, wait a moment." A clear, cold voice startled Zhai Yun and Yan Nanheng, causing them to stop in their tracks.

Lou Yexue and her group always gave Yan Nanheng an unpredictable feeling.
