"Brother, here comes another one. Wouldn't it be great if two people could serve you?"

Ruan Shaoling had never been insulted like this before, and his face turned dark all of a sudden.

He raised his hand and a stone flew out, hitting the mouth of the bandit who had just spoken accurately.

"Ah... my teeth, my teeth..."

Two front teeth were knocked out directly.

He said coldly: "If you can't speak, forget about that mouth."

The bandits who were joking just now looked stern, knowing that they had met a tough guy. They looked at each other and ran away.

The terrain in the forest is complex, and we don’t know if there is an ambush, so it’s difficult to chase after them.

Ruan Shaoling retracted his gaze and took a few steps forward, "Miss Liu, are you okay?"

Liu Ruxu tried hard to suppress her pounding heartbeat, "It's okay, thanks to Second Master Ruan for coming in time."

She bowed and said, "Ruxu thanks Mr. Ruan for saving my life."

"Miss Liu, you are too serious to help others when you see injustice." Ruan Shaoling chuckled, "I don't know where these bandits are from. It will be bad if they attract more people. Miss Liu, let's leave here first."

Liu Ruxu looked away in panic. His smile was so contagious that one could not help but be drawn to it.

She pointed to a place and whispered, "Our carriage is over there..."

Ruan Shaoling said to the guard beside him: "Go and drive the carriage over."

"Yes, Second Young Master."

Liu Ruxu felt a warm feeling in her heart. He was so considerate.

Nan Yan saw Liu Ruxu and her maid following Ruan Shaoling, as well as a carriage, from afar.

Liu Ruxu also saw Nanyan.

She heard the news that Nan Yan had recovered, so it seemed that the Second Master Ruan should send Nan Yan to the capital.

There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Nan Yan asked politely, "Miss Liu, are you okay?"

"Thank you Miss Nan for your concern. I'm fine. Thanks to Mr. Ruan Er for coming in time."

After seeing what Liu Ruxu was wearing, Nan Yan asked curiously, "Miss Liu, where are you going dressed like this?"

"I...my parents and brother went to the capital at the beginning of the year. They wrote to me saying that they couldn't come back to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with me, so I thought about going to the capital to be with them."

She said with a bit of embarrassment, her voice lowered, "Who would have thought we'd run into bandits, and the groom was scared away."

She had never been far away and thought everything was peaceful, so she didn't think too much about it and didn't even bring her guards with her.

This young lady is indeed a little naive.

"That's perfect. We can go to the capital together."

Liu Ruxu glanced at Ruan Shaoling secretly, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she looked at Nan Yan with gratitude, "Thank you for your help along the way."

She was really frightened by the bandits just now.

She had thought that if the bandits came to force their way in, she would bite her tongue and commit suicide immediately.

"It's no trouble at all. We're on the way here. Besides, it's more lively with more people, and we won't be lonely on the road." Nanyan looked up at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Let's get on the carriage and get on with our journey!"

Liu Ruxu's carriage followed behind Ruan Shaoling's carriage.

In the carriage, Liu Ruxu and Baojuan both looked relieved for having survived the disaster.

Baojuan is a lively and careless person. In just a moment, she had forgotten how scary the incident was and started chattering.

"Miss, I was almost scared to death just now. Fortunately, I met Mr. Ruan Er."

"What a coincidence! They are also going to the capital, and they asked us to follow them. They are really nice people."

"I've only seen Miss Nan from a distance two or three times before, but after seeing her up close today, I think she's even more stunning."

"Everyone says that Mr. Ruan likes Miss Nan, and I think so too. Mr. Ruan usually ignores other women. There are so many people in Jinling who admire him, but he has never even seen their faces. He is only gentle and considerate to Miss Nan."

"They look so well matched!"

"Okay, Baojuan, aren't you tired? Take a break first, and then we'll talk."

Liu Ruxu interrupted Baojuan.

Baojuan closed her mouth, looked at Liu Ruxu's tired face, and said quickly: "Miss, lie down and rest for a while."

In the evening, they arrived at a county town.

There is an inn owned by the Liu family in the county town, and Miss Liu Ruxu is there, so they can stay in the room for free.

After they had rested in their respective rooms, the shopkeeper ordered the dishes to be served.

"Yan'er, you like this, eat more."

"Yan'er, why do you always eat vegetables? Eat more meat, otherwise you will lose weight in the capital and your aunt and uncle will be distressed."

The weather is hot now, and Nan Yan doesn't want to eat meat as it feels a bit greasy. She just wants to eat something light.

"Cousin, I don't want to eat meat, please eat more."

"No, you have to eat a few bites anyway."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat it. I'll eat it."

Nan Yan had just picked up a piece of pork ribs when she saw Liu Ruxu opposite her put down her chopsticks with a bad look on her face.

She asked worriedly, "Miss Liu, why don't you eat?"

Liu Ruxu forced a smile, "Maybe I was frightened by what happened during the day, so I don't have much appetite now. You guys eat, I'll go back to my room to rest first."

After all, she was a young lady, and it was no surprise that she was frightened when she was almost kidnapped by bandits.

Nan Yan expressed her understanding.

The next day, we continued on our journey.

Nan Yan discovered that Liu Ruxu was worried every day.

Could it be that the bandits left a trauma in her heart?

That day, when they were resting on the side of the road, Nan Yan went to find Liu Ruxu.

"Miss Liu, I see you've been in a bad mood these days. Is it still because of the bandit incident a few days ago?"

Liu Ruxu couldn't tell the truth and could only nod.

Nan Yan consoled him, "It is inevitable to encounter danger. Just let it go when it's over. Don't take it to heart. It will only make you more worried and bad for your health, and it won't do any good."

"Thank you Miss Nan for your concern. I understand."

"That's good."

Liu Ruxu tilted her head, looked at Nan Yan's perfect profile, and fell into deep thought.

Miss Nan is beautiful and considerate. She is also a cousin of the Second Young Master Ruan, and their family backgrounds are similar. They are truly a match made in heaven.

And what about her! Although her family is the richest, in the eyes of the dignitaries, they are simply looked down upon.

Liu Ruxu, you should just let it go!

They walked and stopped along the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery while traveling. Sometimes when they reached the suburbs, the guards would go hunting and grilled food. If they came across a lake with fish, they would catch a few. Life was very comfortable.

Although Nan Yan had talked to Liu Ruxu and she tried hard to act like nothing was wrong, Nan Yan could always see her staring at one place in a daze.

That day, they passed by a lake with turquoise water, drooping willow trees on the shore, and blooming wild flowers. It was a beautiful sight.

In order not to miss the beautiful scenery, they got off the car and prepared to walk by the lake and stretch their bodies.

Nan Yan looked at Liu Ruxu by the lake. She had changed back into women's clothes. She hugged her knees with her arms, rested her chin on her legs, and stared at the lake in a daze.
