Shao He warily watched the outer wall, while Qing Shan and Qingxia took up defensive postures.
Soon, a familiar yet strange figure came into view. The man was clad in a purple brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, strikingly handsome, his brows revealing a touch of sharpness and domineering aura.
This person was none other than Pei Huaian from the neighboring courtyard.
Upon seeing him, Shao He and the others heaved a sigh of relief, having thought that it was Chu Yu coming, since he had always been plotting to take the child back.
"Oh, how noble the Fifth Prince is to climb over the wall into a lady's courtyard. If word of this spreads, who knows what people will say. Don't blame me if it hinders your chances of marriage in the future," Shao He sneered coldly at him.
Pei Huaian brushed off the dust from his clothes and walked over, flattering her, "It's just as well, for the person I want to marry is right here, and not elsewhere."
