Unfortunately, the capital city was bustling, and Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang's figures were quickly swallowed up by the crowd.

Meng Dongpei and A Cai hurriedly ran downstairs to catch up with Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang.

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang had no money on them, and their clothes were filthy and disheveled, making them look like beggars.

"Cousin, I'm hungry." Zhuang Dagang stared at the freshly steamed meat buns on the street and licked his chapped lips.

"Who isn't hungry!" Zhuang Dali said irritably.

Zhuang Dagang's eyes darted around. "Brother, Zhuang Cuiluo has hooked up with a powerful person; she must have money."

Upon hearing Zhuang Cuiluo's name, Zhuang Dali's eye twitched slightly.

He habitually cursed, "That bitch..."

Just then, they heard someone calling their names.

The two turned around and saw Meng Dongpei and his servant Acai chasing after them.

Their expressions changed almost simultaneously, and without saying a word, they took off running.

I was already so hungry that I had no strength left, but now I was running as if there were wolves chasing me.

"Zhuang Dali, Zhuang Dagang, don't run away! Wait for me! Where's Cuiluo? Tell me where Cuiluo is!"

Meng Dongpei shouted hoarsely, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang ran frantically while their minds raced.

"Cousin, Meng Dongpei is still asking Zhuang Cuiluo. He really does have some feelings for that brat!"

Zhuang Dali suddenly stopped running, lost in thought.

Seeing him stop, Zhuang Dagang looked anxious: "Cousin, why did you stop running?"

Zhuang Dali looked at him and said, "You're right. It's the other members of the Meng family who want to kill us, not Meng Dongpei."

"That's right!" Zhuang Dagang's eyes lit up. "Then why are we still running?"

As the two were talking, Meng Dongpei and Ah Cai caught up. The two, master and servant, were panting heavily. Meng Dongpei said, "Why are you running?"

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang looked at him.

Zhuang Dali sneered, "Young Master Meng has the nerve to ask us why we're running? If we don't run, are we just waiting to be killed by your Meng family?"

Meng Dongpei said, "Brother Dali, what are you saying? My feelings for Cuiluo are genuine; how could I possibly hurt her?"

Zhuang Dali thought to himself that he still cared about Zhuang Cuiluo.

"Brother Dali, I'm so happy to see you're still alive. What about Cuiluo? How is she? Is she still alive?"

A deep sadness was evident in Meng Dongpei's eyes.

Zhuang Dagang said, "Zhuang Cuiluo is still alive. Not only is she alive, she's thriving."

"She's really alive? Cuiluo, my Cuiluo is really alive! Thank goodness, thank God!"

His face was beaming with joy, and anyone who saw him would say he was deeply affectionate and devoted.

"Where is she? Dali, Dagang, tell me quickly, where is Cuiluo? I miss her so much!"

Meng Dongpei's eyes were red.

Zhuang Dagang scoffed and said, "Young Master Meng, we can tell you where she is, but we're hungry now."

Zhuang Dali glanced at Zhuang Dagang but didn't say anything.

Meng Dongpei nodded repeatedly and said, "The Longfu Restaurant is right next door. It's the best restaurant in the capital. I'll treat you both to dinner."

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang exchanged a glance, quite satisfied.

The four entered Longfu Restaurant, ordered more than a dozen signature dishes, and a pot of fine wine. Only then did Zhuang Dagang reveal the order.

"Zhuang Cuiluo has now climbed the social ladder and become Princess Anguo's maid."

Meng Dongpei's brows furrowed tightly. "What? How could Cuiluo possibly become someone else's maid? She's still my person, even if she were to become Princess Anguo's maid!"

"What's wrong with that? I think she'd be more than happy to do it!" Zhuang Dali sneered.

Meng Dongpei slammed his hand on the table and said, "No, I'm going to find her. I can give her a better life. I just bought a house in the south of the city. The house is called Yiluo Residence, which I named especially for her!"
