Socially anxious people transmigrate to another world; living in seclusion is too difficult.

"Yang'er!!!"

No matter how much Tang Tianlei roared, Shi Yao'er's movements didn't falter at all. In an instant, she collapsed to the ground, a streak of crimson blood flowing down her neck. Shi Jinpeng panicked immediately, rushing forward to catch Shi Yao'er in his arms, holding her tightly, his hands trembling as he pressed his hands to her neck, calling out:

"Yao'er, why did you do this to yourself!" At this moment, Shi Jinpeng regretted it. He shouldn't have forced Yao'er, which led to this outcome.

The butler had already led a group of healers to the arena: "Quick! Heal the young lady!"

The healers all made their moves, and the arena was instantly ablaze with green light. Tang Tianlei pushed his way forward through the crowd and finally reached the edge of the arena, but the edge had already been cordoned off by many guards to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation.

At this moment, Tang Tianlei wanted to rush onto the arena, but was stopped by the guards. He disregarded his image and shouted, "How dare you! You dare to stop me!"

Seeing Tang Tianlei's overbearing attitude, the soldiers drew their swords, ready to fight at any moment. Tang Wan, who had just arrived, saw the tense atmosphere and hurriedly said, "Wait!"

Then he went to Tang Tianlei's side and called out to the arena, "Uncle Shi! Tang Tianlei, the eldest son of the Tang family, and Tang Wan, the second daughter, request an audience!" Worried that his voice was too soft, he spoke politely to the guard in front of him, "Please inform the Commandant that the Tang siblings have important matters to discuss with him."

Seeing that Tang Wan had an extraordinary temperament and polite manners, the soldier agreed. He whispered a few words to Shi Jinpeng, which made Shi Jinpeng notice them. He then said a few words to the soldier, who quickly ran over and bowed to Tang Wan, saying, "The Commandant invites you."

After receiving permission, Tang Tianlei immediately ran over, rushing to Shi Yao'er's side in one stride, and called out with concern through the healers, "Yang'er, how is Yang'er?"

“Yang’er?” Shi Jinpeng frowned, looking at his daughter in his arms and then at Tang Tianlei, thinking to himself, “It seems I misjudged this boy. Although Yao’er is not yet married, I shouldn’t have forgotten Yao’er’s name.”

His expression immediately turned cold. At this moment, a healer stopped outputting elemental power and said to Shi Jinpeng, "Sir, we have stopped the bleeding for Miss, but the bleeding is too much. Miss will need to rest for some time."

"Alright, thank you everyone!" Shi Jinpeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Shi Yao'er, and turned to leave, but Tang Tianlei blocked his way. He asked anxiously, "Lord Shi, how is Yang'er? Is he feeling any better?"

“Nephew, you keep calling her Yang’er. Our two families have a contract, so why don’t you remember my daughter’s name and mistakenly call her Yang’er? I know you don’t want to marry Yao’er, but your behavior really chills my heart! Yao’er needs to rest quietly. All irrelevant people, please step aside!”

As soon as Shi Jinpeng finished speaking, his words filled with anger, several guards immediately appeared beside Tang Tianlei, drove him aside, and escorted Shi Jinpeng away from the arena while carrying Shi Yao'er.

"Uncle, that's not how it is, Uncle! Let me explain!"

Tang Tianlei wanted to explain, but Shi Jinpeng didn't give him a chance and walked forward on his own. Tang Wan saw that Tang Tianlei was about to continue to provoke the guards and was afraid that he would be hurt, so she quickly stepped forward to stop him and advised, "Brother, right now Uncle Shi is only concerned about Yao'er's safety. If you continue to provoke him like this, it will only deepen his misunderstanding. Let's go back first and come back with Father tomorrow to explain things clearly."

Seeing the soldiers leaving with Shi Jinpeng, Tang Tianlei could only stand and watch from afar. After a long while, he sighed and prepared to leave with Tang Wan. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Su Yang, who seemed to be doing nothing, whispering to Lin Anlan. Thinking that this expert could be considered to have lent him a helping hand, he and Tang Wan went up to talk to him.

"Master Su."

Su Yang was discussing what had just happened with Lin Anlan when the Tang siblings came over to talk to him. He thought they had overheard his whispers and was momentarily embarrassed, unsure how to respond.

“Young Master Su? We met under the maple tree that day. My daughter is Tang Wan. I wonder if Young Master Su still remembers her?”

"Tang Wan?" Su Yang looked at Tang Wan carefully, quickly remembered who the girl was, and nodded to her.

Tang Tianlei then stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master Su, thank you for granting Yao'er's request to marry me."

"Accomplish? Oh, this is the marriage prospect the prefect mentioned? Your wife is about to commit suicide, and instead of going to be with her, you're just chatting with me here?" After mentally complaining, Su Yang forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Then he pulled Lin Anlan away. Their strange behavior puzzled the Tang siblings, but they didn't linger and returned to the Tang residence together.

"Oh dear! Look what you two have done!"

After hearing the whole story from Tang Tianlei and his sister, Tang Guangquan felt both happy and angry. He was happy that Tang Tianlei and Shi Yao'er were truly a match made in heaven, having met and fallen in love with each other before even being betrothed. He was angry that the two siblings had made such a blunder without consulting him, and now, to make matters worse, Shi Yao'er had committed suicide, and Tang Tianlei had even called out Shi Jinpeng's daughter's name incorrectly in front of him.

"Father, we know we were wrong. What should we do now?" Tang Tianlei asked anxiously.

"Alright, you two go and get some rest. I'll handle this. Remember, come with me to the Prefectural Commandant's Office first thing tomorrow morning." Then Tang Guangquan called over the steward and instructed him, "You go and prepare generous gifts right now, especially some tonics and high-quality materials. Pack them carefully and fill two carriages. Also, quickly send someone to prepare all the monetary gifts and fill four more carriages. Tomorrow morning, hang red ropes on all the carriages and go to the Prefectural Commandant's Office together."

"Yes, sir."

"Father, why is this?" Tang Wan asked, puzzled, after hearing her father's arrangement.

“Wan’er, although you are intelligent, you still lack experience. Since we are going to apologize, we must be proper in our manners. Besides, Lei’er has already angered Commandant Shi today. The root cause is Lei’er and Yao’er’s marriage. There are too many misunderstandings in this matter, and you have taken matters into your own hands, turning what should have been a smooth process into this situation.”

"Why not prepare the betrothal gifts as well, and go to the Prefectural Commandant's Mansion in a grand manner to finalize the marriage and make it impossible for the Prefectural Commandant's Mansion to refuse? This way, we will have the opportunity and time to clear up the misunderstandings. The main thing is to explain to Yao'er that she has a strong personality and if she does something extreme again, it will be uncontrollable in the end."

"So that's how it is, I understand now, Father."

"Alright, you can go and rest now. I've already asked the housekeeper to make preparations. We'll clear up the misunderstanding tomorrow."
