Mu Yunge nodded, sobbing as she listened, and then occasionally instilled in Zhang Shi’s mind the idea that ‘the Shao family will definitely keep a close watch on me because of this secret’ and ‘Shao Liangsheng will definitely despise me for the sake of his man’s reputation’, so that Zhang Shi would know that she was living in a terrible situation in the Shao family.
Finally, she said to Zhang Shi, “Mother, you must not tell Father about this. If he finds out, he’ll definitely let it go!”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi nodded and sighed, “Mother knows, Mother knows everything. To your father, the reputation of the Zhuang family is more important than anything else. Even if Shao Liangsheng isn’t a good person, he’ll make you endure it for the rest of your life.”
But how could men know the suffering of women?
Confined to the Shao family mansion her whole life, she was married but lived like a widow. Wasn’t that just torture?
After her visit to her house, Mu Yunge returned home feeling somewhat relieved.
Shao Liangsheng didn’t come to pick her up when she returned in the afternoon, which didn’t surprise Mu Yunge.
However, what she didn’t expect was that her carriage had barely entered the main road when it was stopped by several uniformed men.
“Stop! We’re searching for a criminal. Your carriage must be inspected before it can pass!”
Hearing this, the Shao family’s coachman paled with fear and hurriedly dismounted.
At this moment, Lin Fang coughed lightly, then reached out, smoothed his shiny hair, and patted his uniform. Then he went forward to push open the carriage door.
Lin Fang easily pushed open the carriage door, and then he saw Mu Yunge inside the carriage, looking uneasy with red eyes.
Looking into her eyes, which were clearly wet with tears, Lin Fang felt a little helpless.
Had she been frightened by this?
She was indeed a coward!
However, seeing her like this, he wanted to bully her in another way until she cried. What should he do?
Seeing Lin Fang staring blankly at her, Mu Yunge rolled her eyes inwardly, but then asked timidly, “Sir, what do you want to investigate?”
Hearing Mu Yunge’s soft and gentle voice, Lin Fang felt as if a feather had gently tickled his heart, making him feel itchy all over.
With a push of his back foot, Lin Fang stepped directly into the carriage with his right foot and then closed the carriage door behind him.
“Don’t be afraid. There’s been a theft nearby, and the perpetrator has escaped. I’m only here to track him down and conduct a search.”
Lin Fang looked at Mu Yunge with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge nodded somewhat uneasily and then said, “There are no criminals in my carriage. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and check!”
As soon as she said this, Lin Fang immediately pretended to glance around the carriage, which was completely visible. After a moment, his gaze landed on Mu Yunge, and he stepped forward.
The carriage wasn’t very large, so Lin Fang took a single stride and was already in front of Mu Yunge.
Then, under Mu Yunge’s nervous gaze, he sat down next to her and stared at her, “Who said there’s no criminal in your carriage?”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately feigned panic and looked at him with confusion.
Is this guy deliberately looking for trouble?
Can’t he see clearly whether there’s anyone in her carriage or not?
Just as Mu Yunge was thinking this, Lin Fang’s slender yet rough fingers suddenly touched her fair and delicate cheek.
“The criminal is right here!”
Lin Fang reached out and touched Mu Yunge’s cheek. The smooth and wonderful touch made him want to take her right there and then.
But he didn’t dare. He was afraid that she’d be too angry and might commit suicide.
After hearing Lin Fang’s words, Mu Yunge’s eyes widened slightly, wondering: What’s this guy up to?

The author has something to say:
Mu Yunge: What did I steal that you treat me like this?
Lin Fang: You stole my heart. Isn’t that a grave sin? I’ll punish you by making you my wife!
