Is he going to use her to exchange for Ruan Shixin? County Magistrate Li’s heart was delighted, and he smiled as he moved closer: “Good, Miss Ning is indeed a filial daughter! As long as you give me a definite answer, I guarantee your father’s matter will be resolved. But if you cannot comply with my wishes, don’t blame me for being impartial.”
Impartial, my foot! Ruan Ning cursed inwardly. If she weren’t afraid her father would be beaten daily, she wouldn’t be dealing with this old lecher. Seeing County Magistrate Li approaching, Ruan Ning quickly opened the door, her expression solemn: “Sir, I am from a respectable family. I will never do anything improper. If you truly mean well, please take care of my father and prevent him from suffering. Once he is cleared of injustice, I will naturally repay you.”
The door was wide open, and County Magistrate Li, afraid of losing face, took a step back, shaking his head: “Miss Ning, don’t you trust me? I am the local magistrate, and my word is law.”
“You misunderstand,” Ruan Ning shook her head and walked out. “We have a rule here that sisters from the same clan cannot marry the same man. You have already married Sister Qing, so you cannot pursue others. Besides that, whatever you want, I have no objection.”
Is there such a rule? Does she mean to replace Ruan Qing or have a secret affair? County Magistrate Li hadn’t figured it out before Ruan Ning had already run away.
Dengzhou, surnamed Ruan, Ji Mingshao suddenly raised his head, a hint of red appearing on his pale face. Could it be his family? What happened?

Ji Mingshao had just arrived in Siwater. Yu Qiu wanted to take him back to the Shadowless Pavilion to recover from his injuries, but he was anxious to uncover the truth about his arrest. So he only rested briefly with some medicine before returning to Siwater. As a registered criminal, he disguised himself before entering the city, and his first stop was at Luo Jin’s home.
