The person turned around and bowed. "Second Young Master, I am Li Huangyu. Eldest Miss' First Ranked Maid."
Hearing the name, Zhefan's eyes went wide. He then closed the gap and held her shoulders. "Where is Little Lulu?! Is she safe?!"
Li Huangyu was shocked by the sudden intimacy, she blushed and tried to calm herself down. "She is safe, young master. Miss had sent me to give you a message and instructions." She kept her eyes down. A servant can't casually look at their Master's eyes.
Hearing that her Little Lulu was safe, Zhefan sighed and patted his chest. "Thanks for keeping my sister safe. I heard that you insisted to come with her." He then patted her shoulders before distancing himself from his sister's maid. He could finally feel his body relax.
Li Huangyu took a peek at him. She smiled when she saw him smile. She then blushed and pursed her lips together. She shook her head to clear her thoughts. What remains a secret must remain a secret. This heart of hers was something she vowed to keep for herself. A servant secretly loving her Master was to be frown at. Especially that her Mistress was his sister. It would look like she would betray her Mistress's trust.
If Yu Ronglou would learn of this, she would probably chuckle and laugh. In her past life, Yu Ronglou had seen Li Huangyu's odd actions whenever her Third Brother would be around. Just that, she didn't dwell on these thoughts for she had other things to attend to. Even if she did, Li Huangyu was adamant about staying beside her until death. Staying single for the rest of her life. If Yu Ronglou did pay attention to her maid's reaction's then she would be able to know that Li Huangyu had a crush on her Third Brother. Well, maybe not a crush but love. Since when and why? Only time would tell. For what she could remember, Li Huangyu had served her since she was 10 years old.
Since Yu Ronglou was not attentive to her surroundings and was firm on finding Li Huangyu a partner. Maybe in the days ahead, she will uncover this secret. Especially that she had sent Li Huangyu to her Third Brother. Will love blossom between them? Their story would have to wait.
"En, let's leave this place. This place isn't safe to talk about these things." Zhefan gestured Li Huangyu to follow him. They left the secluded alley and headed towards an Inn. He was excited to know what his Little Lulu's message and instructions were.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Huangyu was in a happier mood. She had never been alone with Third Young Master Yu. Although she had this chance to further their relationship, she wasn't that kind that would backstab the one who feeds her. She was content, just knowing that he is safe and happy.
Just like in Yu Ronglou's previous life. She was content to see him marry and have kids. His happiness and well being was her selfish happiness. This kind of character was very rare in these ancient times.

Back again at the capital, Bai Fangzu was covered in blood. Just that, this blood wasn't his.
"Clean this up!" He ordered his men. Luckily, he became more alert after meeting Yu Ronglou. Thanks to her warning, she had saved his life. Remembering that little girl, a smirk came to his lips. Although he was more scholarly inclined, he was like a hidden demon. So long as nobody touches his inverted scales, then they would never see his other side. He was a demon with an angel's face.
He wondered how that little girl was doing. That small yet curved body as he carried her. He could still feel her soft lips on his. Although at that time it was an emergency and it all happened fast, he could still vividly remember it. After all, it was his first kiss. Was it hers too? His bloody countenance didn't help that he was smiling happily. His subordinates felt cold and scared. Why was their Young Master smiling happily when he was ambushed?! They all shook their heads and cleaned up the bodies.
"Little girl, As soon as I clean up this mess. I'll come and find you." Bai Fangzu murmured in the air. He vowed to follow her and maybe gave his life for her. He owed her his life, It was only right for her to deal it. As these thoughts crossed his mind, he chuckled again. He couldn't wait to see her again.
