He turned, his expression becoming serious. He stared at the Marquis' wife and earnestly warned, "Miss Luo is truly remarkable, courageous and resourceful, and a perfect match for Yuan Zheng. Although she came from a humble background, now that she will be included in the Right Prime Minister's family tree sooner or later, we can no longer treat her as a member of a lowly family. You must never make such foolish mistakes again. If you do anything inappropriate again, I will not forgive you."

His sudden serious expression startled the Marquis' wife. She pursed her lips, wanting to say something in defense, but ultimately, she dared not speak. She could only nod gently and said, "Husband, don't worry, I will definitely not do it again."

Seeing her promise, the loyal and brave marquis finally felt relieved and turned to leave. He knew his wife well. Although she was a little foolish and pedantic, she would never dare to go against his wishes. Since she had agreed, she would definitely keep her promise.

.........

Let's not talk about the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's joy for now, let's just talk about Luo Shuiyao. Long before leaving today, she had instructed everyone in Chunhua Courtyard to pack up all their belongings. Actually, there wasn't much to pack. Since arriving at the Marquis's residence, they'd mostly used the mansion's belongings. They hadn't brought much themselves or bought much, so they only needed to pack a few bundles to finish everything. Furthermore, Luo Shuiyao hadn't taken a single cent from the Marquis's residence.

When Luo Shuiyao arrived at the gate of Chunhua Courtyard, everyone in the mansion was already eagerly waiting. Chun Xing had already carried Nanny Zhang out and placed her safely on the carriage, then quickly returned to help with the load. The two maids each carried several bundles, and Chun Xing had even more on her.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao felt sorry for Chun Xing's hard work and hurried forward to take some from her hand. However, Chun Xing pushed her away and refused to let her do anything. She smiled and said, "Miss, this is not heavy. Please don't touch it."

Luo Shuiyao was helpless, but she remembered that Chun Xing was very strong. Seeing her carrying the bag with brisk steps and a relaxed expression, she felt a little relieved.

Ye Yunzhou stood quietly by, witnessing the deep friendship between master and servant. A soft light unconsciously appeared in his eyes, but he remained silent, not wanting to disturb this warm atmosphere.

Soon, they arrived at the back door and saw the carriage already parked there. Chun Xing and Chun Tao exchanged a tacit glance and then climbed into the back carriage with ease, leaving the front carriage for Luo Shuiyao.

Luo Shuiyao watched them adorably peering over from the carriage, feeling helpless yet warmed. She couldn't help but smile softly. Then, she turned to Ye Yunzhou, bowed slightly, and said earnestly, "Thank you for seeing me off, big brother. This place isn't far from my residence, so I can go back on my own. There's no need to bother seeing me off."

Ye Yunzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, a subtle inquiry flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Why, are you worried that I know where you live?"

Luo Shuiyao was slightly startled when she heard this, a hint of surprise flashing across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, a faint smile curled up the corners of her mouth, and she said gently: "With your ability, it shouldn't be difficult for you to find out where I live. It's just that now that I have a carriage to travel, I really don't want to trouble you to make another trip."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye Yunzhou. He said in a firm tone, without any doubt: "No need to bother." After that, he looked at Luo Shuiyao deeply, with a look in his eyes that could not be refused.

Luo Shuiyao “…”

Luo Shuiyao hadn't expected to hide anything from him, she just didn't want to spend too much time with him. But since he insisted, she wouldn't refuse anymore. She ignored him and got on the carriage herself.

Ye Yunzhou stared at her back, his eyes dimming as he felt a surge of regret. He'd wanted to explain things to her, but seeing her eagerness to distance herself from the situation, he couldn't help but get angry. He took a deep breath, and without even caring if Luo Shuiyao had greeted him, he followed her into the carriage.

The carriage was an ordinary one Chun Xing had found. The interior wasn't spacious, and Ye Yunzhou's tall frame felt a bit cramped. But he sat upright, his hands neatly placed on his knees. The carriage slowly started, swaying unsteadily as it moved forward. A slight awkwardness hung in the air, and for a moment, the two of them remained silent, neither speaking to break the stillness.

In the end, it was Ye Yunzhou who was the first to lose the ability to endure the oppressive silence. He looked at Luo Shuiyao, who was staring at his fingertips, lost in thought, and said with a touch of stiffness, "I'm sorry."

Ye Yunzhou had been silent, and Luo Shuiyao hadn't bothered to respond to him, subconsciously ignoring his presence. At that moment, she was contemplating her future plans. She figured that now that she had left the Marquis' Mansion and had her own house, once things settled down here, it would be time to go to Qingshui Town and bring her aunt and the others over. Unexpectedly, she heard Ye Yunzhou's "I'm sorry," and she looked up in bewilderment.

Once the apology was out, the rest of the story was no longer so difficult to say. "I was wrong before. I misunderstood you. Seeing you and Ah Xing so close, I..."

"I just believed what your mother said about me being fickle." After hearing what he said, Luo Shuiyao immediately understood the reason for the apology. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and responded with a sarcastic tone.

Ye Yunzhou turned his head slightly, subconsciously avoiding her gaze, afraid to see the disgust in her eyes. It wasn't his style to avoid the subject. He had misunderstood her, even his own mother had spoken disrespectfully to her. As a son, he should shoulder this responsibility. Even though Ye Yunzhou had been prepared, when he heard Luo Shuiyao's blunt words, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his chest.

He had no time to escape, and instantly became anxious, and hurriedly explained to Luo Shuiyao: "No, I never thought so! I just think I'm too boring, and Ah Xing has a better personality than me, so I thought you wanted to leave me."

Luo Shuiyao observed his eagerness with a cold eye, sidestepping his outstretched hand. Her expression was calm, her tone cold, "I don't care what you think, but we're not suitable. You come from a prominent family with a bright future. You deserve to be with a noblewoman of equal status, not a commoner like me. I'll just treat the past as a moment of confusion. From now on, I'll still respectfully call you Big Brother, and I hope you'll live up to your status as a brother."
