Their friendship was imbued with gratitude; otherwise, if it had been anyone else, she would not have bothered to meddle. Outside, the sound of urgent horse hooves began, growing closer and closer, causing Tie Hailan’s face to slightly change. Liang Shujun also felt a momentary heart palpitation. He slowly turned to look outside and saw the female arrest officer, Fang Lanshan, riding a horse, with a petite young girl sprawled on the horse’s back, retching violently. When the sound of the horse hooves stopped, Fang Lanshan’s mouth twitched. She jumped down from the horse with agile grace, then picked Dong Huiying, who was lying on the horse, off of it. She couldn’t hold it in any longer; had Fang Lanshan not dodged quickly enough, she might have ended up vomiting on her. After expelling the sour water and bile, Dong Huiying’s mouth tasted bitterly. Once she had vomited enough, her little face was deathly pale, and she looked extremely weak as she staggered towards Liang Shujun. "Ough—not, ough—okay?" Her head swam, her eyes seeing little stars; to catch up with He Su and Tie Hailan’s carriage, Fang Lanshan had truly spurred her horse to great speed. She had never ridden a horse before, and the bouncing nearly dislocated her bones; most importantly, could the brown-coal-black-haired girl actually get motion sickness from the horse!? Liang Shujun gazed at her in a daze for a long moment. She first glanced at Liang Shujun’s clothes, relieved to see they were still in order. Ever since this person had disappeared, she had prepared herself for the worst and couldn’t help but think of Liang Yixuan and Zhu Xingfang, somewhat worried that he might have been assaulted. Liang Shujun, usually very moody, suddenly felt his dark aura dissipate when he saw her bewildered and confused eyes. He reverted to his usual irreverent demeanor and suddenly embraced her tightly with open arms. "Liang Shujun!?" Her cry was like that of a cat whose tail had been stepped on. In such a public place, was he being a hooligan? Liang Shujun rubbed his cheek fiercely against her hair parting, "Baobao, I’ve been locked up for several days, I’ve missed you so much." Neurotic, acting crazy all day long, can’t he ever be normal? Upon seeing Dong Huiying, Tie Hailan’s eyes immediately brightened. So delicate, so tiny, truly adorable! this person is Phoenix Blood’s fiancée? Where was the promised dark and unattractive face, full of moles? The person in front of her was clearly a delicate and beautiful young girl, and obviously still green and youthful, very endearing. Fang Lanshan gripped her sword hilt warily and said in a cold voice, "So it really was you? Both of you, please follow me to the Yamen!" He Su pursed her lips and remained silent, while Tie Hailan’s eyes flickered. She took one last reluctant look at the cute girl before turning to the imposing arrest officer, Fang Lanshan. "I had thought Taihang Town was just a small place; I didn’t expect you all to be so efficient in your duty, to even track it back to me?" Fang Lanshan, not one to waste words, scoffed, "Please come with me, both of you?" He Su followed Tie Hailan onto the carriage. Before leaving, she turned back for a longing look at Liang Shujun. She saw him showering his little treasure with affection, cuddling and snuggling. She lowered her eyes bitterly. Was he deliberately being affectionate with the girl in front of her to upset her? She knew the girl was his fiancée and that the girl had not treated him well. She called his name, but he was too busy cooing over his little treasure to even spare her a glance. Fang Lanshan mounted her horse, "Miss Dong, I shall be leaving now. Will you come with me, or...?"
