“Stop!” the man roared, soon in hot pursuit.

I would be a fool to stop! Su Jiu thought as she fled, secretly cursing her bad fortune today!

Lately, because Miss Su’s parents were coming, Nanny asked her to practice the elaborate etiquette of greetings every day.

She had finally managed to sneak out today and wanted to go to the tavern and drink with the gang, but as soon as she went in, she saw Nangong Bi inside.

The weather was freezing, but this young lady didn’t seem to mind!

Seeing that they wanted to drink, Miss Nangong also came to join the excitement and bravado, only to get drunk and unconscious after two cups.

The servant girl who came out with her cried out hurriedly, saying that their master and mistress treated their daughter drinking as a taboo. If they knew, not only would her young lady be punished, but she would certainly be thrown out of the house.

They discussed it, and at last, the little servant girl said, their lady had a good friend, a young lady from the Liu family’s rouge shop on Dongyu Street. They could send her there and wait until she woke up before going home.

That’s all they could do in the end.

As Su Jiu was worried that the little servant girl was alone, she followed to send them there.


The two drove the carriage and brought Nangong Bi to the rouge shop. The servant girl stayed to take care of Nangong Bi, while Su Jiu went back to the tavern alone. As a result, before she took a few steps, she was followed.

The two of them were like cat and mouse: she ran straight around four streets, but the man behind was still not far behind her.

Since she couldn’t get rid of him, Su Jiu stopped and panted, waiting for the man to approach!

It was his fault that on a cold day, Su Jiu was sweating, gasping for breath.

As the snowfall grew heavier, the man strolled over, chuckling coldly. “Go on, why aren’t you running!”

Su Jiu shrugged her shoulders. “I’m tired so I stopped!”

The place where they stopped was at the back lane of a long street, with the back walls of a manor on both sides. It was snowing and pedestrians were scarce, and only the two stood in the snow to confront each other.

The man looked at her delicate face and asked, “Where’s my jade?”

Su Jiu reached around in her clothes and said, “I forgot it at home.”

“What did you steal today? Give it back!” Xiao Lie called out in a cold voice.

Su Jiu was stunned. “Who said I stole again today? I will never steal again!”

The man smirked mockingly, “You? Why should I believe you?”

Su Jiu looked at him coldly. “What do you want?”

“To take you to the authorities! After getting punished for your crimes, I’ll see if you come clean,” Xiao Lie said, grabbing at Su Jiu’s arm.

Su Jiu dodged, and jumped back in a defensive posture. “I will give you back your jade! But I won’t go to the authorities. If you are looking for a fight, I’ll gladly agree!”

“Where do you live?” Xiao Lie suddenly asked.

Su Jiu blinked. “Why are you asking this for?”

“It’s alright if you don’t tell me, just bring me back to take the jade!”

Su Jiu grit her teeth and her thoughts turned quickly.

She couldn’t take this man home, or she might be exposed that she’s Miss Su. If news spread, they would be in deep trouble.

Glancing around, Su Jiu suddenly smiled, pointing to the side of the hut, “Alright, I’ll take you back, but I have to go to the toilet first.”

The man frowned. “What tricks are you playing now?”

“Just now I wanted to run to the toilet. I couldn’t hold it any longer since you chased me for an hour. If you’re afraid I’ll run, you can come in with me!” Su Jiu remarked innocently.

Xiao Lie was stunned that there were actually such women in this world!

Was she really so carefree, or just shameless!?

The man frowned and turned slowly. “Go quickly. If you dare to play tricks I’ll throw you in jail!”

“Got it!” Su Jiu huffed, and she turned and went in.

The toilet was as tall as a person’s height, with its back against the wall of the manor. Su Jiu would be seen outside if she slipped down the wall, so Xiao Lie was not worried.

The sound of rustling came from the stall and Xiao Lie frowned and glanced away.

“Hey, don’t peek!” Su Jiu shouted.

Xiao Lie glared at her with an iron green face.

After a short silence, Xiao Lie looked at the dark blue sky in the distance. He waited for a while and did not see Su Jiu come out, so he asked impatiently “Are you done?”

There was no reply.

Xiao Lie asked again, and Su Jiu still didn’t answer. His face turned cold and hurriedly walked towards the toilet.

Turning around to enter, he froze at the sight before him.

Su Jiu leaned against the wall with her arm clamped against a woman in her forties, the other hand covering her mouth. When she saw Xiao Lie coming in, she immediately let go of the woman and grinned. “Now you can shout!”

The woman looked at Xiao Lie for a moment, then opened her mouth wide.

Ahhh!

There was a shocked cry, and then she jumped over and grabbed Xiao Lie’s leg and shouted, “Somebody, help! Molester!”

Xiao Lie’s handsome face which was usually calm and composed immediately changed from green to white, and then turned red. He stepped back and said coldly, “Who are you, get up quickly!”

The woman clung to him, shouting shrilly. “Come on, help me, you hooligan!”

Su Jiu smiled like a cat who got the cream, jumped up to the low wall, and looked back at Xiao Lie with a grin.

“Brother, I’ll leave first then!”

She leaped down and ran without turning back into the snow, leaving Xiao Lie alone in the toilet in chaos!

Unable to break free from the woman, he heard the footsteps of several people running this way. Xiao Lie’s face turned cold, as he struck at the woman’s neck.

The howling sound came to an abrupt end, and the woman plopped to the ground and fainted.

Xiao Lie flashed out of the toilet. The long alley was silent, and snow flew. Amidst the chaos, Su Jiu was long gone.

Prince Rui, who had never suffered such a setback, was enraged.

Su Jiu ran two streets around the block and returned to Xieyang Street. Seeing the man did not follow up, she couldn’t help laughing loudly.

In the cold street, the girl’s clear peals of laughter, attracted the attention of pedestrians one after another.

Earlier, she saw a woman go into the toilet, and then made excuses to go in.

The woman was undressing when Su Jiu covered her mouth. She gave her one silver tael, whispered to her that a pervert was following her, and when he came in, she wanted the woman to grab him, and then call for someone to come.

The woman nodded in astonishment and happiness as she touched the silver.

So when Xiao Lei went in, Su Jiu let go, and the woman immediately pounced on him.

Su Jiu felt a burst of joy at the thought of the man’s murderous face.

Happily, she returned to the tavern to see that the gang was still drinking.


The weather was cold, and there were few diners. There were only a few people in the lobby, and the chefs had cooked them beef hotpot. The pot was bubbling, and the fragrance was alluring. When Su Jiu walked in, she felt the chills in her body had disappeared.

Seeing Su Jiu come back, the gang put down their glasses to greet her to take her seat.

Chang Huan peeled a lot of melon seeds and had finished half of the melon seeds in the porcelain jar. He then pushed them in front of Su Jiu and patted off the snow on her body considerately.

The gang ate meat and drank wine until it was dark before they went back.

As soon as they entered the door, Nanny came up and said, “Miss, my lord and lady have arrived at the foot of Yuhu Mountain.

“Now, they are staying in a small town under the mountain. If it hadn’t been for the snowy mountain road, they might have been in Shengjing by tonight.”

“So soon?” Qiao An frowned slightly.

Time was already running out. After receiving the news, the Su family naturally rushed all the way to Shengjing.

“Let’s go back inside and talk about it!” Nanny used a paper umbrella to block the snow for Su Jiu.

With time being of the essence, they couldn’t help but agree.
