Hua Ruge squinted his eyes and did not make a sound.
The old man pulled her back and said, "Young man, I'm already old and old. It's no different if I live or die. Don't do anything stupid for me."
"It will be fine. Rest in peace. I'll go see you." Hua Ruge gave him a comforting smile.
Seeing Hua Ruge's smile, the City Lord's daughter's eyes emitted a green light.
This was too good to watch.
"Husband, let's go back." she said delicately.
Hua Ruge glanced at her: "Stay away from me, I'll walk by myself."
The woman pouted and took two steps back. As she walked, she asked, "Husband, I still don't know your name."
Hua Ruge's gaze stayed on her face, and he said: "It's my first time seeing you."
The daughter of the City Lord felt that this name was a little strange, but when she saw Hua Ruge's face, she found it very pleasant to listen to.
"Darling, what a nice name. I'm Gao Meilan, you can call me by my name from now on." Gao Meilan said shyly.
Seeing that she had stopped in her tracks, Hua Ruge also stopped, and was determined to not get within three meters of her.
Gao Meilan continued to walk forward with an injured appearance.
The laborers looked at the two figures as they broke out into a cold sweat for Hua Ruge. They really didn't know if this brat could still come out from the demon's lair alive.
Just like that, Hua Ruge arrived at the City Lord's Mansion and stayed in a guest room.
She slowly tied up her hair. In the bronze mirror, she saw a person who looked like a Wind God.
"It would be weird if he didn't get mesmerized by this face." Hua Ruge held the mirror, and continued to narcissism.
She had always wanted to enter the city and find a place to rest. She had never thought that she would be able to obtain her long-cherished wish from the City Lord's Mansion with just a few twists and turns.
Putting down the mirror, she lay on the bed and thought back to the way she had come.
After entering through the door, they directly passed through the corridor and came to the rear courtyard, where they stayed in a rather remote guest room.
Most of the places where she hid would be in the study in the front yard or the bedroom in the back. She had to find a chance to sneak in one by one.
There was no time to lose. She should step on the stage right now. After all, this family was extremely brutal and temperamental. No one could guarantee when something would happen.
Gao Meilan stood outside Hua Ruge's door the whole time, staring at the door, as though he could see through it just by looking at it.
Hua Ruge pushed the door and came out. She had changed into a new set of white robes, tied her hair up again, and stood up straight.
"Why are you here?" Hua Ruge's face immediately darkened.
"I'm still waiting for Darling. Never in my dreams would I have thought that there would be someone as good-looking as Darling." Gao Meilan said stupidly.
Hua Ruge thought in his heart.
When she thought about that, Tuoba Rui's extremely handsome face appeared in her mind.
He said that he wanted to cure the plague, but he didn't know how, or whether he had protected his body well.
She had already left the capital, so if she gathered evidence, she could go find him.
"Husband, are you hungry? Let's go eat in the front hall." Gao Meilan said as he walked over, his expression was extremely fawning.
"I'm not hungry. I just want to take a stroll around." Hua Ruge said as he left.
"Husband, let me accompany you. When we become married, this will be your mansion, and the mayor will be yours as well." Gao Meilan didn't suspect anything.
She was not a simple-minded person. However, she no longer had any thoughts of being on guard when she saw the beautiful man.
This was perfect, if it was Hua Ruge himself, she would simply be unable to tell where was where.
Thus, she endured the disgust and allowed Gao Meilan to enter a little further away from her.
Gao Meilan was even happier now, and worked even harder to introduce her.
"This is the front hall. Father will meet with the regular guests here. The back is the main hall, which is used for receiving high-ranking officials."
"There is a dining room at the back and father's study room at the side. Father spends most of his time in the study room."
"This place is boring. I'll bring my husband to see the yard and backyard that we'll be staying in in in the future."
Hua Ruge listened to her excited voice all the way, and remembered the entire City Lord's Mansion inside and out. She still had to understand the situation of the guards here, but it was inconvenient to ask.
"Husband, every time I bring up my father, you look really bad. Is it because you don't like him?" she asked as they visited the back garden.
Hua Ruge thought while looking at the flowers and plants in the garden.
It was already winter, and the entire garden was filled with flowers and plants, protected against the cold.
He really was very rich.
Gao Meilan saw that she did not reply, and said: "I already know that my husband will not tell me, but my father will be moving to Xing Yi tomorrow, and at that time, we will be the only ones here. If you do not like living together, we can also move out."
Her current attitude was very straightforward. As long as Hua Ruge could be with her, she would do anything.
"Rising?" Hua Ruge raised his brows, and suspiciously spat out a word.
She rarely spoke, and just her two words were enough to encourage Gao Meilan to speak a lot.
"Xing Yuan is the place where the officials of the higher grades are received. The one who came this time is the Governor, he is here to inspect the affairs of the people."
"Is he the big shot I have to welcome when I build the road?" Hua Ruge asked again.
Gao Meilan continuously shook his head: "He is not yet qualified, he is also here to welcome important people together with my father, this person is extremely annoying."
Hua Ruge merely raised an eyebrow, and Gao Meilan continued: "This person is my father's boss, my father's political enemy. He is always targeting my father, wishing that my father would step down early.
Of course Hua Ruge wouldn't be annoyed, there were people with the same goal as her, if she were to take the evidence and hand it over, this bullsh * t City Lord's family would definitely not end up well.
Sometimes, killing with a knife was more effective.
"I'm tired, I'm going back." Hua Ruge said as he walked back.
"Darling, I haven't eaten yet." Gao Meilan asked anxiously.
"Give me a room." She left a message and left.
Gao Meilan stared fixedly at her back.
"Miss, this Young Master is too arrogant. Please give her some face. She must be well-behaved." The servant by Gao Meilan's side could not bear to see this.
Gao Meilan turned around and gave her a resounding slap: "I think I'll show you some color. That's my husband, so in the future, will the male masters here be something that you, a lowly bitch, can talk about?"
"This servant knows her wrongs." The little girl kneeled on the ground.
"If it's too late, drag that random stick down and beat him to death. If he dares to be disrespectful to Young Master again in the future, this will be the result."
Everyone knew that their eldest miss had spoken the truth. They all knew that they had to restrain themselves in the future. They couldn't treat this young master the same way they treated the other men.
Very quickly, the food was delivered to Hua Ruge's room and was placed on a large table.
Hua Ruge finally had a hearty meal after so many days. She had never stopped eating until her belly was round enough. Then she laid on the bed and went to sleep.
The room was heated up by a furnace and the bed was very big. Hua Ruge had a very comfortable sleep.
The Little Marten lay beside her, and the A Pair of Purple Pupils looked at her soundly asleep with his black eyes. In the end, he nudged her face with his little head and closed his eyes to sleep as well.
Hua Ruge did not concoct any pills recently, nor did he give any to him to eat. He did not have enough energy in his body, so it was not easy for him to take form.
In the middle of the night, the City Lord's Mansion was completely silent. Hua Ruge, who was originally sleeping on the bed, turned over, slowly opened his eyes and stretched.
"It's really not a human thing to punish those who commit adultery and exorcism. You can't sleep well even in the middle of the night." She got up grumbling.
He took out a set of black clothes from his storage space and put them on, blending in with the darkness.
She went quietly to the door and listened.
Silence reigned outside the door. The faint sounds of the breathing of two people could be heard. However, their cultivation bases were not high.
She carefully determined the location and shot out two shiny silver needles.
"Bang bang." The sound of two bodies falling to the ground came from outside the door.
This silver needle only had a small amount of knockout drugs on it, so it was enough for them to have a light sleep. If someone shouted, they would wake up so that someone would only think they were asleep.
Hua Ruge stuffed the Little Marten into the spirit beast space and quietly walked out.
Her body was completely healed, and her meridians weren't as weak as before. She could just use a little bit of spiritual energy.
Her first target was the study room. After all, where the mayor stayed the longest was the most likely place to hide something.
The moment she stepped out of the small courtyard, she heard a group of guards patrolling. She silently noted down the time and stealthily made her way over. She walked from the small courtyard to the study room for a full hour.
At this moment, the lights in the study were still on, so she could only wait in the dark. After an hour, she saw that the mayor had left and the servants had locked the doors.
Hua Ruge only came out after the two of them walked far away. He opened the back window and went in.
The study room was dark without any lights on.
Hua Ruge took out a Illuminating Pearl and covered it with a layer of cloth, causing the pass to become very weak.
After all, she was in the middle of a dangerous situation and her body was crippled. If she were to be discovered, it would be useless to reveal her identity. There would be only death waiting for her.
Therefore, she had to be careful. As long as she found evidence of her crimes, this family would be the one to suffer.
She held her breath and moved silently through the room, searching.
She carefully searched the tables, bookshelves, and even the vases and paintings on the walls.
However, after searching for a long time, he still couldn't find any evidence, not even any valuable clues.
"Old thing, you're a chicken thief. I don't believe you." As she spoke, she picked up the Illuminating Pearl and turned it over with both hands.
The entire room was covered in darkness, only Hua Ruge's face was lit up by the weak light of the Illuminating Pearl, if someone were to enter at this moment, they would definitely be scared to death.
When she searched the bookshelf again, she heard someone passing by the study. In order to prevent others from discovering the Illuminating Pearl, she quickly squatted down.
However, because his movements were too fast, a book by the side of the table fell to the ground with a bang.
