Yao Sisi didn't explain, instead, she quickly walked towards the official and Yu'er, leisurely walking to the entrance of the temple. When she caught up with the two, she lightly said, "Officer Qiu, Yu'er, you two stop, I want to ask you a few things."

Hearing the sound, the officials both stood still and turned around in unison to look at Yao Sisi in surprise. The official then asked, "Miss, why did you come with me?" Yao Sisi spread out her hands. "It's because I'm Yue Lao, the one who's going to be in charge. I'll help you all stay together forever, but before that, I want to ask you guys a few questions."

Yu'er's eyes were burning with endless expectations. She looked at the official passionately and impatiently interrupted, "Miss, please ask away." Yao Sisi did not say anything else. She looked at official Qiu and asked, "Have you ever taken the Imperial examinations?"

The official's eyes held a tinge of bitterness. "I've participated in it twice, but both times, I've failed to live up to my name. I'm truly ashamed." Yao Sisi then asked, "Are your parents still alive at home? Do we still have brothers and sisters at home? " The autumn official could not understand why Yao Sisi asked this. She replied in detail, "In reply to Miss, my parents are still alive and I still have a little sister at home."

After Yao Sisi asked all these questions, she motioned for the official and Yu'er to sit at a stone table under a pine tree not far away. At this moment, Shadow and Treasure also walked over. Yao Sisi cleared her throat, weighed her emotions for a moment, and then said, "Officer Qiu, why do your parents have the thought of living a life lightly? If you die, how can you make your parents endure it? Even if Yu'er is your parents, she can still be your parents. If you die, how are you going to account to the rich master? "If you really love each other, then you have to be together. Why do you have to place your hopes on death? It's fine even if you fail in the Imperial examinations, and being a government official is not the only way out. If there really is no way out and you don't want to give up on the idea of living, would you really have the heart to ask your parents, the white-haired people, to send the black-haired people?"

"We, we …"

"But, but …"

Since you two love each other, you don't have to use your death to show your sincerity. You can try your best to persuade me, to force your parents to agree, or you can just run away. No matter what, it will be several times better than death.

"Escape!"

The autumn official and Yu'er looked at Yao Sisi in surprise, not saying a word for a long time. These two words had really struck them. Running away was an extremely bad behavior, and if they were caught here, it would be as bad as being banned from opium. These words came from the mouth of a cultured young miss who seemed to be from a wealthy family. How could she not be afraid of death?

Realizing that she had once again stepped forward, Yao Sisi laughed awkwardly and said, "I'm just trying to figure it out. The reason why I didn't stop you right from the start is to see if you guys are truly in love with each other. Now, I can see the deep love in your eyes, damn it, I, Yao Sisi, will take care of elder Yue's responsibilities today. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of your parents, hehe, no, they are Yu'er's parents."

"Miss, Yuanbao misunderstood you. I'm sorry." Yuan Bao looked at Yao Sisi in shame. His voice was soft, but Yao Sisi could still hear him clearly.

Yao Sisi gave a faint smile, looking completely cheerful as she waved her hand, "Hur hur, it's not like I'm blaming you. What are you apologizing for? "Yuanbao, in the future, you must speak out your different opinions. This way, I won't feel that this world is too tyrannical!" Seeing Yuanbao's moved expression, Yao Sisi stroked her forehead with her right hand and in a cool pose, she said, "Hehe, put away your innocent big eyes. I'm thirsty, your young miss!"

Yuan Bao's face lit up as he giggled foolishly and quickly replied, "Yes, I will find the ingot for you." Yao Sisi nodded her head, trying her best to hold back her laughter. She pretended to be deep in thought as she said, "Yes, let's go back quickly. Shadow will follow Yuanbao."

"Yes, Mistress." Shadow followed Yuan Bao into the temple.

Yao Sisi looked meaningfully at the autumn official and said to Yu'er, "Are you all willing to listen to my arrangements?" The autumn official and Yu'er both nodded their heads in agreement. Yao Sisi gestured for them to stick their heads over and whispered to each other.

The official looked at Yao Sisi with admiration and said, "Miss is indeed a master. Please accept my respect." Yu'er also quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss, for saving me. Please accept Yu'er's bow." She reached out her hand to help him up, "There's no need to be so courteous. To me, this is but a simple matter of raising my hand. Don't be so angry, or else, I won't be taking care of it."

"Miss, please don't. Yu'er and I are not here anymore."

"Miss, the water is here." Yuanbao's voice interrupted the trio. Yao Sisi looked at Yuanbao who was running towards them and felt her heart warm up. "Slow down, the water's almost all used up!" Yuan Bao's steps immediately halted as he checked the teapot in his hand. He looked at the teapot a few times and said doubtfully to Yao Sisi, "Miss, you didn't spill any water!"

"Pfft."

"Silly girl!"

"Miss, y-you are playing with the ingot. Shadow, you are bullying me too."

Yuan Bao's little face was flushed red as he stood on the spot, not looking at everyone. Yao Sisi left her seat and walked over, tugging at Yuanbao's clothes. "Alright, it's little miss, I'm in the wrong, okay? Isn't it also because my Yuanbao is cute? If it was any ordinary person, or even a cat or dog, do you think I can tease them like this?

Shadow didn't know what to do and took a few steps closer. His face turned red from holding in his anger, before he finally said, "Sorry, I promise I won't laugh anymore." Yuanbao got up bashfully and quickly covered Shadow's mouth. "Who said you couldn't laugh?" Yao Sisi shook her head. "What a blockhead."

Seeing Yao Sisi and her group of three, the officials and Yu'er could not help but laugh. The atmosphere had turned harmonious all of a sudden. Yuanbao took the teapot and the bowl in Shadow's hands. Each of them poured a cup of tea and asked curiously, "Miss, how do we do this?"

Yao Sisi picked up her teacup and leisurely drank the tea. "Tell the official to tell Yu'er that I want to rest."

"Miss Yuanbao, this is the situation …"

"Miss, this idea is really great, really great!"

Yao Sisi added the last drop of tea from the teacup into her mouth before she coolly narrowed her eyes. "Don't admire me, I'm a legend too." Yuanbao and Shadow were already used to Yao Sisi's crazy talk, while the official was different from Yu'er. Their mouths were slightly open, but in the end, they managed to hold back their doubts.

At three in the afternoon, Ying hired a large horse carriage. The five of them sat in the horse carriage, and an hour later, they arrived at the autumn official's house. The official drove the horse carriage to the entrance of his house, explaining everything to his parents.

After a short break, Yao Sisi and the rest began to act according to their plan. Only Yuanbao and official Qiu were temporarily left in the official's house, waiting for news. The reason was very simple, the two of them were not required to attend the first play.

"Mother, mother, mother!" Yu'er ran into her house in panic.

"You still know how to come back!?" "See if I hit you or not!" The one who spoke was a woman in her thirties. She had tanned skin, a ferocious look, and there was obvious anger in her eyes. Although the clothes were made of coarse sackcloth, they didn't have any patches. It could be seen that her family situation was slightly better than the one in the Qiu Family.
