She knew better than anyone that Chen Yao didn't want to take the title. He did not want the tragedy of his parents to happen again.

After a while, her master put a wooden hairpin into Mu Hanning's hair and waved at him, ”Let's go!” If anything happens, get someone to bring me the wooden hairpin. ”

Thinking back to today's dream, Chen Yao tightly held onto Mu Hanning's hand.

He dreamt that Mu Hanning had become her wife. They lived in seclusion in the forest together without any noise or flashy days. Although it was plain, it was peaceful. Every day, they would walk hand in hand under the setting sun, and time was peaceful and good.

He thought that one day, he would definitely convince his father to marry Mu Hanning. He had never needed a compatible clan, or a famous clan or daughter. All he wanted was his Anin.

After returning to the manor, Chen Yao was summoned by his father for questioning and only returned late into the night.

”Aunt Chen is dead.” Chen Yao stumbled his way inside, his face ashen. The doctor said it was a dream from the dream room. My soul is trapped in the pillow. ”

Mu Hanning, who was originally about to rest, had a calm expression. She calmly got up and poured him a cup of tea. ”What happened?”

”I gave her the jade pillow that Abba had bought.”

Chen Yao hugged Mu Hanning tightly. Just as he was about to accept the pillow, his Anning was already gone.

How could this be? How could Ah'pa put Mu Hanning to death?

”Sorry, sorry.”

He really didn't know when his father had hated her so much.

Mu Hanning didn't say anything as he gently held his back.

Freezing three feet of ice is not a day of cold, and Chen dislikes her. He hated his son for not being able to learn how to ride a horse through the streets. He could not bear to punish her, so he shifted his emotions to her.

It had already been more than a day or two since Chen Shangshu wanted her dead.

After calming his emotions, Chen Yao suddenly came up with a big idea. ”Ah Ning, let's elope.”

Mu Hanning's brows twitched in surprise as he exclaimed, ”Escaping?”

”Yes, Abba wants me to join him, otherwise we are not allowed to be together, so I decided to elope!” You are my wife and I will not leave you wherever you go. ”

Chen Yao's childish face was filled with determination. His sparkling eyes had a power that could make others sink into depravity.

Looking at his face, Mu Hanning's heart inexplicably softened. She gripped his immature palm and nodded. ”Alright.”

After saying goodbye, Chen Yao had wrapped up all the gold, silver, jade, and gold notes he had accumulated over the years. He grabbed a handful of his capes and wrapped them tightly in them, preparing to slip away from Jiaomen.

”Where are you taking her?”

A dignified male voice came from behind him. Chen Yao's hands loosened the grip on his bag and it fell to the ground. The treasure inside the bag fell with a clanging sound.

”Father.”

Chen Yao stealthily moved his body to cover Mu Hanning. He had to protect her well. Mu Hanning tugged on his sleeve. He lowered his head to feign cowardice.

”Milord.”

Yesterday, he heard Chen Yao say that some scholar had advised the emperor that Mu Mubai was still alive. The emperor had angrily ordered the entire city to search for him. Chen Yao's father was the Minister of War. It just so happened to be his responsibility. He wasn't sure if the Mu Hanning in the manor was that princess whose surname was Nameless, and hadn't yet received her title, but he was clear that if his son continued to mess around with her, there would definitely be no good ending.

Mu Hanning hid behind Chen Yao and observed his expression quietly. She had her own sources of information and knew that those scholars would never give up trying to find her. She couldn't bear to leave, but she could guarantee that she wouldn't be able to harm Chen Yao. They only had their suspicions, but no one dared to openly approach them.

This was because ten years ago, she had personally wove a cold dream of suicide for the people of the world.
