A year after, at the southern part of the Capital. Thousand miles away, in a remote village, near the river stood a wooden house. Surrounded by fences with growing flowers and a small vegetable field at the corner of the house.

The door of the house opened, a young girl came out wearing a light blue dress, her long and loose hair bounded by a hairpin. This young girl is named Lu Ying Yue who disappeared from the Capital City and rumored to be sold to slave traders.

She went to her small vegetable field and picked some vegetables. She went to the corner of the house near the kitchen and washed the vegetables. Another door suddenly opened, out came a young man wearing a simple black robe.

Lu Ying Yue noticed the young man and said "Good Morning Hu An, are you hungry? Let me finish washing this vegetable then I'll start cooking" After hearing this, the young man named Lu Hu An nodded and said "I'll go get some water first from the river, the ones at the barrel are almost out'' He went out of the house, took the wooden bucket at the corner and went to the river.

Lu Ying Yue smiled and started chopping the vegetables. After preparing the breakfast consisting of porridge and stir-fry vegetables, she went to the table to prepare the dishes. "Good Morning Ying jie jie" a voice called out, Lu Ying Yue looked at where the voice came from and stood a young girl named Lu Zhi Yan. She smiled and said "Good Morning Xiao Yan, go and call your brother and tell him that breakfast is ready" Xiao Yan smiled and nodded.

After eating and cleaning the dishes, Lu Ying Yue took a cloth from their room and started embroidering. Not long after sitting in their courtyard, a voice of a man was heard. Hearing this voice, she put the cloth back in her room before opening the door.

The door opened and a man stood on their gate, "Older sister Ying, I'm here to pick up Hu An we are going to the river to catch some fish" Liang Kun Lan met the siblings 9 months ago, when the village chief named Bai Bojing introduce the siblings to him.

At that time, Liang Kun Lan was passing by Chief Bojing's house when he noticed a young man and woman having a conversation with the village chief. After that, he noticed Lu Hu An at the river trying to catch some fish, he noticed that Lu Hu An was chasing the fish instead of catching it.

He approached him and taught him how to properly catch a fish using bait and pole that he brought. As Liang Kun Lan got to know Lu Hu An, he realized that he is just a simple man, with a serious expression who cares for his sisters.

Lu Ying Yue went back inside the house "Hu An, Kun Lan is waiting for you outside" Lu HU An nodded "Xiao Yan, come we are going to tend to the garden and plant new vegetables, while your brother will go and catch some fish" Lu Zhi Yan who is playing, smiled and nodded when she heard her sister.

"Sister Ying, Xiao Yan, I'm leaving" Lu Hu An said and took out a wooden barrel along with some baits and poles. Lu Ying Yue smiled and waved at the men. Liang Kun Lan waved and shouted "Don't worry older sister Ying, I'll look after him and make sure he comes home dry" upon hearing this Lu Hu An scowled and dragged his collar. Lu Ying Yue and Lu Zhi Yan laugh when they saw their antics.
