Xiao Baoyu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Writing it here is a bit too informal. How about we go to the government office now? The nearest office in charge of household registration is just across the street."

Ying Yufu looked at the man, only to find that he was also looking at her, and respectfully clasped his hands in a salute.

Ying Yufu smiled; the son of the Minister of War was quite interesting.

"In that case, Cuiluo, let's go to the government office across the street," Ying Yufu said.

Zhuang Cuiluo listened to Ying Yufu's words without question. She wasn't stupid; she understood that once they went to the government office and signed the contract, Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang would never be able to sever ties with the Meng family again.

She glanced gratefully at Ying Yufu, and then gave Xiao Baoyu, who had offered the suggestion, a thankful look.

Meng Dongpei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Alright, since everyone has said so, how about I grant your wish?"

"Dali, Dagang, come with me."

With that, he strode outside.

The crowd followed.

There were also some people who followed to watch the excitement.

A large crowd surged toward the government office across the street, creating a rather spectacular scene.

Ying Yufu and Yao Guang walked in front, with Chong'er and Cuiluo following closely behind.

Meng Dongpei stared at Zhuang Cuiluo's back and sighed softly, "Cuiluo, I understand what you mean. You made such a fuss so that I would accept your two brothers. I knew you were a good girl who thought of others."

His eyes held a helpless expression, yet also revealed a deep affection.

Zhuang Cuiluo was disgusted.

Ying Yufu and the others were also greatly amazed.

Once inside the government office, with a group of officials' children present, Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang were sold into servitude to the Meng family almost effortlessly.

Meng Dongpei put away the two's indentures, looked at Zhuang Cuiluo, and said, "Cuiluo, since we're at the government office, why don't you sign this contract too? It'll be easier for me to protect you in the future..."

"You still want Cuiluo to sell herself to you??" Yaoguang asked in shock.

Ying Yufu was also greatly shocked.

"Cuiluo, sign quickly! Young Master Meng is giving you this opportunity, you can't miss it!" Zhuang Dali grabbed Zhuang Cuiluo again.

He was very excited. So what if the Zhuang family members were all dead?

He is now Young Master Meng's man. As long as Cuiluo wins Young Master Meng's heart, they will be superior to others in the Meng family.

He was different from the other servants.

Zhuang Dali grew increasingly pleased, his eyes practically red as he stared at Zhuang Cuiluo, threatening in a low voice, "Cuiluo, don't push your luck. Being able to follow Young Master Meng is a blessing you earned in your past life!"

Zhuang Cuiluo glanced down at Zhuang Dali's hand gripping her wrist tightly and said, "You and Zhuang Dagang should keep this kind of blessing for yourselves."

After saying that, she shoved Zhuang Dali away.

Despite being a man, Zhuang Dali was spoiled by his family and became lazy and good-for-nothing. He had never done any work or suffered any hardship since childhood.

All the dirty, heavy, and tiring work was done by the young girl, Cuiluo.

Despite her petite and delicate appearance, Cuiluo possesses considerable strength.

With her swing, she sent Zhuang Dali staggering back several steps, causing him to collide with Meng Dongpei.

Zhuang Cuiluo stared coldly at Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang, and after a moment, she gave them a strange smile.

This laugh sent a chill down the spines of not only Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang, but also Meng Dongpei.

The young masters and ladies from wealthy and powerful families who had come to watch the spectacle all stood aside and enjoyed the show.

Just then, someone whispered, "They're here!"

They're here? What's here?

Before anyone could react, a thousand-feathered army rushed in.

Yu Hai took the lead and, upon seeing Ying Yufu and her entourage, quickly stepped forward to bow: "I am Yu Hai, greetings to Princess Yaoguang and Princess Anguo."

"Deputy Commander, you may dispense with the formalities."

Yao Guang said.

Ying Yufu pointed to Meng Dongpei's side and said, "Deputy Commander Yu, the criminal is over there. The two men next to him are his servants who have signed indentures."

"Understood, sir." Yu Hai readily agreed, and with a wave of his hand, a group of Thousand Feather Army soldiers stepped forward and seized Meng Dongpei, Zhuang Dali, and Zhuang Dagang.

Meng Dongpei was stunned. "What are you doing? Do you know who I am?"

Yu Hai stood in front of him and sneered, "Meng Dongpei, young master Meng, your grandfather Meng Huaran and father Meng Zhenxiao have been imprisoned."

"Will His Majesty not know about the heinous crimes your Meng family committed in Anzhou?"

"No, how could this be? How could my grandfather be imprisoned? You're talking nonsense!" Meng Dongpei couldn't believe it; it was too sudden.

Yu Hai sneered, "You think no one knows what your Meng family has done? Princess Anguo and His Highness the Crown Prince just returned from Anzhou!"

Meng Dongpei was startled and looked at Ying Yufu. Only then did he belatedly realize that this girl seemed somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: wasn't this girl the same girl from the caravan they had encountered on the road?

He also had a letter delivered indirectly by his guards to the caravan, asking them to help find the bodies of Cuiluo's family.

He never imagined that the caravan could survive the guards of his Meng family. He did it simply because he felt it was as romantic and touching as it was written in a storybook.

He did his best, but Cuiluo was just unlucky.

But now, everything is different from what he imagined.

A chill ran through my hands and feet, and I realized that chains had been put around my neck.

"You've got it wrong, you must have gotten it wrong, let me go!" Meng Dongpei struggled.

Nearby, Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang were shouting, "We are innocent! Our family has been wronged! What right do you officials have to treat us like this?!"

"On what grounds? Because you are servants of the Meng family!" Zhuang Cuiluo said coldly from the side.

Zhuang Dali and Zhuang Dagang looked at her, their eyes filled with fear.

Zhuang Cuiluo revealed a smug smile, "The Meng family's crimes have been exposed to the world. You have just sold yourselves to the Meng family. Since you are so attached to Meng Dongpei, you might as well stick to him until you die."

Congratulations on getting your wish!

"Zhuang Cuiluo, you deliberately framed us!"

Zhuang Dali was stunned for a long time before he finally realized what was happening.

Zhuang Cuiluo said calmly, "I told you, if I see you again, I will make you die. You just didn't take my words seriously."

Zhuang Dali was stunned.

Zhuang Dagang's face turned deathly pale. He stared at Zhuang Cuiluo as if she were a demon.

Back then, he and his brother Dazhuang broke into Zhuang Cuiluo's room in the middle of the night to humiliate her, but she, a young girl, wouldn't dare to make a sound.

But only he knew that his manhood was destroyed that night.

Zhuang Cuiluo's fierce gaze at that time was like that of a wild beast that had no regard for its own life; even now, he shudders when he thinks about it.

He didn't dare to make a fuss afterward, for fear of losing face, or perhaps for some other reason. Only he knew the truth about it.

He knew how reckless Zhuang Cuiluo could be when she went crazy.

His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud. He glanced at Zhuang Dali, guessing that only Zhuang Dali didn't know how terrifying Zhuang Cuiluo was...

No, he knows now.

Zhuang Dali was completely dumbfounded.

He stared at Zhuang Cuiluo. Was this still the younger sister he had always bossed around since childhood?

Meng Dongpei was even more devastated.

"Cuiluo, you knew all along, didn't you?" he asked, his face pale.
