Ma Tianjin, dressed in official robes, entered the prison with a serious expression and asked, "Is Master Huo inside?" The guard replied.
Ma Tianjin stepped in, shooing everyone away with a forceful wave of her hands. "Everyone out!"
Huo Zhenyan sat on a straw mat, his demeanor calm. Though there was a bit of dust on his face, his aura remained impressive.
"Are you... okay?"
Huo Zhenyan looked up with a tranquil gaze. "What do you want?"
"I..."
He had never been this indifferent before; he was usually either infuriatingly stubborn or relentlessly clingy. His sudden coldness left Ma Tianjin at a loss for words, her lips trembling slightly.
Huo Zhenyan suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
Her heart tightened. Ma Tianjin replied, "Go ahead."
"What is your real name?"
"Ma Yanyan."
Huo Zhenyan continued, "Let me ask one more thing: in your next life, don't pretend to be a man. Marry me."
"No." Ma Tianjin firmly rejected him, her tone resolute.
What? No? Wasn't this the kind of moment where one should agree to anything?
Huo Zhenyan's jaw dropped in disbelief, his voice rising several octaves. "You said no?" Damn, is there really such a heartless woman?
Ma Tianjin took out the key, his hands trembling as he inserted it into the lock, the key shaking in the keyhole. "I’m going to get you out."
"I’ve thought it through. If you escape from prison, your identity doesn’t deserve Liu Xiaoyuan. I’ve given all the money I tricked from you to her. I want her to find someone worthy of a lifetime commitment. If she hates me, so be it; I won’t blame her."
Ma Tianjin said, "I warn you, don’t go kissing anyone else!"
"Yanyan?" Huo Zhenyan was somewhat moved. This stubborn girl was willing to abandon Liu Xiaoyuan for him?
Ma Tianjin pulled him along, gripping his arm tightly. "We need to hurry before they come back."
"No... Yanyan..." It was over. If he explained now, would it end badly? But if he didn’t explain, were they really going to become a pair of doomed lovers?
Was a man still a man if he let his woman suffer?
Huo Zhenyan grabbed Ma Tianjin, about to speak when a man who had been waiting nearby interjected, "Do you really think you can get away?"
Outside the prison, a group of soldiers surrounded them tightly.
Ma Tianjin shrank back slightly, her body instinctively retreating. "General Han!"
She hadn’t expected that the person coming would be Han Lu himself. This was bad; she had offended him more than once in the capital. Was he here for revenge?
Huo Zhenyan watched as Ma Tianjin nearly dropped her head in fear and couldn’t bear to scare her any further.
"Yanyan, he’s not here to catch us."
"But he’s here to catch you." Ma Tianjin stood protectively in front of him, arms wide open like a mother hen.
“Yanyan…” Huo Zhenyan said cautiously, “I have known General Han for a long time.”
Ma Tianjin stared at him blankly. “Then why is he here, and… why is he scaring me?” Was it possible that they were teaming up to bully her?
Noticing the doubt in her eyes, Huo Zhenyan quickly clarified, “No! I’m fine because I paid him off!”
Ma Tianjin shot a disdainful glance at General Han, her eyes filled with contempt. So even those in high positions could be so greedy! How despicable!
Han Lu sneered, “I never expected that the top scholar would be a woman.”
Having deceived him for so long, how could he not have some fun with her?
“Next time you dare to deceive me, no amount of money will save Huo Zhenyan’s life,” General Han said with a smile.
Huo Zhenyan smiled as well.
Ma Tianjin couldn’t manage a smile. Her mind raced, and she finally reached a conclusion: she had been played!
Huo Zhenyan generously invited everyone present to the wedding, but Ma Tianjin waved her arm forcefully. “Who said I’m getting married? I’m not marrying anyone!”
How dare they toy with her? Not a chance!
Recently, there had been rumors in Fengcheng County that Master Huo had been detained, and the story of the county magistrate risking his life to rescue his lover was spreading… How romantic!
Even if it was a same-sex relationship, they could accept it.
What the hell is this male-male romance? Why on earth did he fall for a woman disguised as a man?
Master Huo was quite displeased.
No matter how much he pleaded, Ma Tianjin simply refused to agree.
"I will only marry once Xiaoyuan finds happiness," she said.
"And besides, don't you think I'm doing a pretty good job as the county magistrate? Don't hold me back."
"Well, if you can't wait, you could always marry someone else," she added casually.
Marry someone else? How could she say such a thing!
Huo Zhenyan immediately silenced her, cupping her face in his hands and kissing her deeply.
Gasping for breath, Ma Tianjin leaned against Huo Zhenyan's chest, her eyes shimmering with emotion. "I will wait!"
Even the common people had accepted them; why was he in such a hurry? As long as he got her pregnant, there would be no way to hide it later!
Huo Zhenyan smirked mischievously. "After all, I'm the Rogue Master; you can't escape."
