As the steward Zhang watched Nalan Jiuhuang revel in her happiness, he began narrating a story to everyone.
There was a time when he was a notorious outlaw, and back then, both he and Nalan Jiuhuang were young.

Thus, many precious treasures that should have been in the collections of noble families ended up in public markets or black markets, secretly exchanged.
With his status as a formidable outlaw at the time, there was no possibility of any interaction with the prestigious Nalan Jiuhuang.
