Regent, please maintain your aloof image.

A kind woman reminded them, "Young master, young lady, you should leave quickly before the constables arrive, otherwise you won't be able to leave later."

“Yes, that Lord Li is his uncle-in-law. You can’t beat him. You should leave quickly,” another woman chimed in.

"It's alright, he can't do anything to us, don't worry," Su Qianrou reassured her.

Seeing her like this, the woman sighed and said nothing more.

Soon, the servants arrived with two constables.

"Young Master Luo".

"Arrest these two arrogant bastards!" Luo Peng said, pointing at Su Haoyu and Gu Mingxuan.

The constable looked in the direction he was pointing, and when he saw Gu Mingxuan, he was somewhat surprised and subconsciously called out, "Young Master Gu."

Gu Mingxuan did not respond, his expression somewhat indifferent.

"What are you all standing there for? Didn't you hear what I said? Arrest them both!"

Although the constables knew Gu Mingxuan's identity, they didn't pay much attention. "Gentlemen, come with us," one of the constables said.

"I don't know what we've done wrong," Gu Mingxuan asked knowingly.

"Young Master Gu is a smart man, why would he pretend to be stupid?"

"What if we don't leave?"

"Young Master Gu should know the consequences, so please cooperate. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."

"Arresting people without even knowing the facts, is this how Lord Li taught you?" Su Qianrou stepped out from behind Gu Mingxuan.

At first, she was blocked by Gu Mingxuan, so the yamen runners did not see her face clearly. Only now did they see her clearly and understand why Luo Peng was acting this way.

"How dare you! How dare you, a mere woman, speak so presumptuously about a man of such high status?"

"What, did I say something wrong?"

"I advise you not to be ungrateful."

"Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and arrest those two. As for her, leave her to me," he said, gently patting Su Qianrou's face. "Don't beg for mercy later."

"Get your filthy hands off me. My sister isn't someone you can touch." Su Haoyu gripped his hand tightly.

Luo Peng, wincing in pain, said, "Let go."

Su Haoyu not only ignored him, but also exerted even more force.

Luo Peng looked pained. "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and arrest him and lock him up in jail."

So the constables stepped forward and arrested Su Haoyu.

Just as Su Haoyu was about to make a move, a slightly authoritative voice rang out, "Who is causing trouble here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

The speaker was Zhang Zhifeng, the head of the yamen runners, and two other yamen runners followed behind him.

As for Chunzhu, she had already returned to Su Qianrou's side before he even spoke.

"You've come at the right time. Quickly arrest these two people," Luo Peng said shamelessly.

"What's going on? You're causing trouble in public. Do you know what your punishment is?"

"They're the two causing trouble. Arrest them immediately."

At this moment, the county yamen runners stepped forward and said ingratiatingly, "Brother Zhang, what brings you here? This little matter can be handled by the two of us. There's no need for you to trouble yourselves."

"Yes, yes, we'll arrest them both right now," he said, and started to grab them.

Zhang Zhifeng drew his knife and stood in front of Su Qianrou, saying, "Let's see who dares to make a move."

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Zhifeng glanced at them, then turned around and respectfully called out, "Young Miss," before turning to Su Haoyu and calling out, "Second Young Master."

Luo Peng, oblivious to the pain, stared blankly at him.

The yamen runners from the two county offices were dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, Miss, we're late."

"Not too late, just right."

"Young Miss," Luo Peng looked at Su Qianrou with a blank expression.

"Young Master Luo, what are you doing here with so many servants?"

"I……".

Su Haoyu released Luo Peng's hand and said disdainfully, "Hmph, a toad trying to eat swan meat."

"you……".

A yamen runner couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhang, who are these two...?"

"You don't even recognize our master's daughter and son? You must be blind."

"What? She's Lord Su's daughter?" Luo Peng exclaimed in disbelief.

"Could it be Miss Su and Second Young Master Su?"

"It seems so."

No wonder she was so calm.

"This time, Luo Peng has really bitten off more than he can chew."

The people standing nearby couldn't help but start talking about it.

"You son of a wealthy man, how dare you dream of making my sister your concubine? You're not worthy."

“A concubine…Young Master Luo has quite the nerve, daring to make the prefect’s daughter your concubine,” Zhang Zhifeng said.

Luo Peng panicked completely. "It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! I didn't know she was Lord Su's daughter!"

"Does ignorance give you the right to forcibly abduct a woman in public? Who gave you the audacity, Lord Li?" Su Qianrou questioned.

No, I didn't.

"No, then what's wrong with her?"

“She…she is someone I bought, yes, I bought her, not someone I stole.”

"You're talking nonsense!" the girl said excitedly, then knelt down in front of Su Qianrou, "Miss, please save me."

"Get up first," Su Qianrou reached out to help her.

The girl did not get up, insisting on kneeling, "Miss, it's not what he said."

"I know, I'll help you. Get up first."

The girl then stood up.

Then, Su Qianrou asked, "What exactly happened?"

“My grandfather was sick, so I went to buy him medicine. On my way back, I ran into them. They saw that I was quite pretty and wanted to take me back with them. I refused, so they had their servants tie me up and take me back. Later, I ran away when they weren’t looking, but they wouldn’t let me go and chased me all the way here.”

"Shut up, you bitch!" Luo Peng said viciously.

Su Qianrou warned, "You're the one who should shut up."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. She is the concubine I bought, but she was disobedient and ran away, so I brought people out to look for her."

"Since you have different opinions, then go to the government office to find out the truth."

"Lord Su is very busy, so it's best if we don't bother him with such a small matter. Don't you think so, Miss Su?"

"It's a trivial matter. In Young Master Luo's eyes, forcibly abducting women is a trivial matter. No wonder Young Master Luo has done it so often."

"Miss Su is joking. How could I do such a thing?"

"Alright, whether he did it or not, my father will find out," he then ordered, "Take him away."

"Yes," Zhang Zhifeng replied, and then ordered his men to arrest Luo Peng.

"Let me go, let me go," Luo Peng struggled.

"Young Miss, Second Young Master, we'll be taking our leave now."

"Hmm...right, don't forget to have him ask my father if he would be willing to let me be his concubine."

Zhang Zhifeng's lips twitched, then he replied, "Yes, I will certainly pass it on."

Soon, Luo Peng was taken away, and the girl, as the plaintiff, naturally had to go to the government office as well, so she went with him.

As a result, the surrounding people dispersed.

Soon, only Su Qianrou and a few others remained in the same spot.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you," Gu Mingxuan said apologetically.

“You don’t need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, if it weren’t for you, I might have been taken away by him long ago, and I wouldn’t have been able to wait for Chunzhu to come back. I should be thanking you.”

Gu Mingxuan was not comforted, so he remained silent. As for what he was thinking, only he knew.
