The young mistress replied him with a long "Hmmmm~", clearly showed no interest to know any further. Ruolan went silent rewards. Only the sound of
the trees blown by the cold spring breeze could be heard around the mansion.
"So, how is Miss Jiao Ju doing?" The young servant began speaking again, breaking the silence between them.
"She is doing fine. With a few brief of explanations, she knows what she should do. So we did not have a hard time dealing with her. Besides, we paid her family
in return so she did not do anything against us." Shu Xiaofan casually replied him while still chewing her snack.
The young servant went silent again. all, they had through a hard time to find a scapegoat since there were not any families want to cooperate with them. His mistress suggested kidnapping any random girl but her parents strongly disagreed because it was against their family's principle, as the saying goes,
"good things only come through understanding, never through force."
Ruolan sighed thank goodness everything went normal again and he can continue living his days as usual. Even so, he somehow felt uneasy for reasons
he could not explain. Positively thinking everything will be alright, his optimism has blinded his worry.
*****
Two days before the big day to come. The day has been busy since morning, being the only servant in the Shu family Ruolan had no time to be idle. He has been doing preparation for Jiao Ju's next
day of journey to the palace since ernoon. The journey to the capital was quite far; therefore they had to move early to get there on time. Ruolan was alone with Jiao Ju in her room, helping her to pack all her things
while Jiao Ju was sitting on her bed, watching the young servant doing his works. Her lips carved a small smile but her eyes was somewhat showed a sad
expression. The young servant of course did not notice her since he was busy packing all her things.
