Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

Fang Yu's reminder struck Fang Xin like a ton of bricks. "That's right, there's also Lord Xiao. Besides, the governor arrested her; there must be some misunderstanding. With Lord Xiao here, he can definitely clear things up."

Fang Xin wasn't so scared anymore, and she took Fang Yu's arm, saying, "Then let's go quickly, sister."

The group headed to the governor's mansion, but there wasn't a single guard at the entrance. Fang Xin scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed: "Everyone... is inside."

As he walked further in, he saw a large group of people lying in the courtyard. Xiao Jingqi choked on his saliva and couldn't help but cough.

“This…” Fang Yu could already smell the lingering scent of various medicinal powders in the air.

Fang Xin immediately explained, "It's all a misunderstanding, and there was indeed a small accident."

Xiao Jingqi went over and helped Xiao Lanzhi up from the ground: "How are you feeling now?"

Xiao Jingqi had experienced the power of Fang Xin's poison firsthand; being blind was no pleasant experience.

Upon hearing Xiao Jingqi's voice, Xiao Lanzhi couldn't help but cry, and complained, "My eyes hurt so much!"

The group immediately began treatment, and the doctor who came along was really shocked, wondering who had the audacity to break into the governor's mansion.

After everyone was given the antidote, Mo Shisan was the first to wake up. He sat up and exclaimed, "Master!"

Upon seeing the person standing before him, holding a teacup, he immediately touched his waist, intending to draw his sword.

Fang Yu glanced indifferently to the side: "The knife is over there!"

He realized something was wrong as he reached for the medicine. He stood up abruptly and looked at the figure beside him, bent over, feeding medicine to his subordinate. His brow furrowed slowly.

Fang Xin happened to turn around and saw that he was alright, so she forced an awkward smile.

Two faces that looked seven or eight parts alike appeared in his sight. If it weren't for the fact that they were wearing different clothes, Mo Shisan would have thought he was blind.

He hurriedly picked up the knife and quickly looked around: "Where is my master?"

Fang Yu waved his hand and pointed behind him: "In the room."

"Guards!" Mo Jiu ordered immediately, "Arrest them both!"

"..." Fang Xin's face fell, and the corner of her mouth twitched violently: "Your family promised not to pursue the matter against me, so you can't arrest me."

Having not received a direct order from his superiors, Mo Shisan disregarded everything else and, since no one else was coming, decided to take matters into his own hands.

Mo Jiu rushed in from outside at this moment. His first glance was at Fang Yu, then at Fang Xin. He asked, "Miss Fang has been found, but what happened? Where is my master?"

Mo Jiu's series of questions left Mo Shisan, who had been ignored, looking puzzled.

Fang Yu said calmly, "It's all a misunderstanding. My sister was arrested as an assassin. If Lord Mo Jiu had arrived any later, we would have been thrown into prison."

She glanced at Mo Shisan deliberately as she said this.

Mo Jiu turned to look at him, seeing the sword already drawn in his hand and the serious expression on his face. He stepped back and asked, "Thirteen, what are you doing?"

Mo Shisan was full of questions: "Mo Jiu, do you know these two women? They killed a government official, and my master ordered them to be arrested and questioned."

Mo Jiu slowly looked at Fang Yu, a look of curiosity in her eyes.

Killed someone?

Fang Xin was a little dumbfounded. She stammered, "Sir, you must have made a mistake. How could we possibly kill someone? There must be a mistake."

Fang Yu rubbed the tip of his nose, his eyes gleaming: "I killed him. No, he signed a death waiver himself. He can't blame me for his death."

Mo Shisan narrowed his eyes: "You're Gangdan?"

Steel egg? ???

Fang Xin and Mo Jiu both looked at her with the same surprised expression.

Fang Yu gave an awkward smile: "When you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity. Who would reveal their real name?"

Xiao Jingqi came out at this moment, looking only at Fang Yu: "Miss Fang, why don't you come in and help take a look?"

Fang Yu casually handed the teacup in her hand to Mo Shisan: "Here, have a drink, it's freshly brewed."

He stood there, bewildered, holding the cup of tea, watching Fang Yu and Xiao Jingqi turn and walk side by side into Xiao Lanzhi's room.

"This...?" Mo Shisan had even more questions than before.

Fearing that Mo Shisan might chop her up again, Fang Xin went to the small kitchen in the backyard to cook.

In the room, Xiao Lanzhi lay on the bed, his eyes red-rimmed but tightly closed, his face showing utter despair.

The voice that came from his throat was filled with utter despair: "Zizhao, I think I've gone blind~"

Fang Yu went over and took his pulse: "There's nothing wrong, your eyes will be fine after applying the medicine."

The pleasant voice lingered in his ears, and Xiao Lanzhi instantly perked up, suddenly grabbing her wrist: "It's you, Mooncake Girl."

"..." Fang Yu's lips trembled slightly, but before she could make a move, Xiao Jingqi came over and pried Xiao Lanzhi's hand away, saying in a rather unfriendly tone, "Alright, you're fine now, open your eyes."

Xiao Lanzhi forced a pained expression: "It really hurts, can you not open your eyes?"

Xiao Jingqi ignored him and pulled Fang Yu toward the outside.

Xiao Lanzhi sensed something was wrong and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see the two figures walking out side by side.

"Mooncake Girl, wait for me!"

Xiao Lanzhi strode after them, and the two people in front of him turned around to look at him. What came into view was the two holding hands.

Xiao Lanzhi was greatly shocked, pointing at the two of them: "You! You..."

Fang Yu withdrew her hand, smiled, and curtsied, saying, "This humble woman greets Your Excellency the Prefect."

Xiao Jingqi was a little jealous. He glared at Xiao Lanzhi and, in a slightly domineering manner, pulled Fang Yu's wrist again and walked out.

Xiao Lanzhi stood there stunned for a moment. He blinked hard and rubbed his eyes vigorously. He was absolutely certain he hadn't seen wrong; he had seen Xiao Jingqi holding the Mooncake Girl's hand!

After the group introduced themselves in the main hall, Fang Yu learned that Xiao Lanzhi's father was the elder brother of Xiao Jingqi's father, and that the two were blood brothers.

After everyone was seated, the air was unusually quiet.

Fang Yu and Xiao Jingqi inexplicably started playing chess.

Xiao Lanzhi and Mo Shisan acted as if they had never seen it before, staring intently from a distance and occasionally whispering to each other.

Mo Jiu came in from outside and said to Xiao Jingqi, "My lord, everyone has woken up and is basically fine after taking the medicine."

Fang Yu sighed softly, placed the last chess piece, and smiled, "I won again."

Her lips curled up, and Xiao Jingqi followed suit, his burning gaze fixed on her shallow dimples.

"hiss--"

Xiao Lanzhi took a deep breath, pulled Mo Shisan next to him, and whispered, "Did you see that? Zizhao actually smiled at a girl, and he smiled so lewdly. There's something wrong with him, definitely something wrong with him."

"Moreover, I have never won against him in a game, and he has never let me win. This is definitely preferential treatment."

Mo Shisan nodded in agreement: "As expected of Steel Egg Girl."

Fang Yu looked around and asked, "Where did Xin'er go? I haven't seen her for a long time."

She looked towards the doorway, and Xiao Jingqi's gaze followed her.
