Surrounded by men, Wang Mengfu didn’t want to continue the scene. He picked up Ruan Ning, his face dark, and threw her into the carriage, slamming the curtain to block the lustful gazes.
“You, drive the carriage!” Wang Mengfu said to Lin Si, suppressing his anger.
As the carriage left, Wang Mengfu whipped the horses, which ran quickly. His expression grew uglier. Ruan Ning, who should have been his alone, had been seen barefoot by so many men!
Lin Si sat silently beside him. She knew this man well; even if he understood Ruan Ning wasn’t at fault, this incident would create a rift between them. A faint smile crossed her lips. Ruan Ning, whom she underestimated, had managed to provoke doubt in Wang Mengfu. She would no longer show mercy.
The carriage sped on, unaware of a black-clad figure following them.

Chapter 4: The White Moon Becomes a Mother-in-Law
In the main hall of the Ruan family, Master Ruan asked anxiously, “Haven’t you found her yet?”
“We’re still searching,” the steward stated, wiping sweat. “The young master is also missing, and a carriage is gone from the stable.”
Madam Ruan dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, crying, “She must have eloped with her cousin. It’s all your fault, you stubborn man!”
“Shut up!”
Master Ruan’s forehead veins bulged. “How could Ning’er possibly like that beast!”
Suddenly, a maid cried out in panic, “Miss!” Wang turned around and was shocked to see Ruan Ning fainted, weakly leaning on the maid Ah Qing, her eyes tightly closed. Anxiously, Wang hugged her daughter, nervously asking, “Ning Ning, what’s wrong with you?”
After a long pause, Ruan Ning slowly opened her eyes, trembling as she said, “Father, Mother, don’t blame A Si. She wanted to marry her cousin, so she kidnapped me. Her cousin searched all night before finding us. He has a good heart and didn’t tell the truth because he was afraid you would beat A Si to death.”
