"No…no need." Hiroshi said hatefully and was about to leave.
Xue Lin hurriedly grabbed his hand and softened her tone,""Your Highness, I was wrong. I was just joking with Your Highness. Please don't tell the Second Princess. She, she will destroy my Heavenly Earth! I just got out of prison and don't want to go back in.”
Hiroshi stood still and smiled as he looked at her pleading eyes. "You're very bold.”
Heavens, it wasn't that she was brave. She just couldn't stand Yun Niao's coercion and just wanted to resist! She had already made up her mind to endure it. Why couldn't she endure it in the end? What should he do now that things had come to this? It seemed that she could not achieve anything big at all. She was simply a useless person.
Seeing that she suddenly stood rooted to the ground, Hiroshi's lips curled into a smile.
In another room, Yun Niao had been staring at Yin Yicui for a very long time.
"Name your price." After a long time, Yun Niao said.
"What price? I'm not a young master here." Yin Yicui replied fearlessly.
"Aren't you a man?"
"I am. However, I'm just a handyman and don't accept guests. Young lady, you should find someone else." Yin Yicui bowed and was about to leave.
Yun Niao laughed loudly. When she was done laughing, she slowly said,"The person that this princess has taken a fancy to has never been able to escape. Think about it carefully. If you follow me, your future will be boundless. It's far better than being a servant in this place.”
"Thank you for your kind intentions, princess. How can I be favored by you? A servant would always be a servant and could not do anything else.”
"Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”
"What happened to the princess? Did he make the princess angry? Bastard, why aren't you getting out of here? Are you here to annoy the princess?”Xue Lin rushed in and scolded Yicui Yin. She even gave him a slap.
"Princess, please calm down. This servant is a handyman in the courtyard. I don't know how he offended Your Highness? Princess, don't worry. I'll definitely teach him a lesson to vent your anger.”
"I just like him and want to bring him back." Yun Niao waved her hand. Boss Mu, how much do you want to pay?”
Xue Lin was stunned.
Yin Yicui was also stunned.
Their minds were racing.
"Princess, do you really like him?" Xue Lin wasn't surprised.
"I don't want to." It was Yin Yicui's voice.
Two voices sounded at the same time.
"Of course." Yun Niao looked at them with determination.
"Princess, he is not a young master. He does not sell his body. How about you choose another one? We have many young masters here, and their conditions are much better than his…"
"I want him. Boss Mu, if you don't plan to let her go, then don't blame me for being merciless."”Yun Niao interrupted her.
Yin Yicui suddenly laughed. She laughed helplessly and sadly. Then, she took out a dagger from her waist and cut a wound on her face. Blood gushed out quickly. Everyone looked at the perpetrator in a daze, their mouths feeling as if they were blocked by something. That wound was so hideous at this moment, like a crack suddenly appearing on an exquisite porcelain. It made people feel regretful no matter how they looked at it.
"Princess, are you satisfied now? I'm disfigured, so I don't think I meet your standards, right?”Yin Yicui looked at Yun Niao.
Yun Niao was so angry that she left with a flick of her sleeves.
Before Yun Niao could step out of the room, Xue Lin had already rushed to Yicui Yin's side and hurriedly wiped the blood that was still dripping with a handkerchief.
The wound was quite deep, and some flesh could be vaguely seen. Xue Lin wiped her eyes and her eyes began to blur. Two lines of tears rolled down.
"Why are you crying? This injury was not painful. It was just a flesh wound. It would heal very quickly.”Yin Yi Cui was very happy.
"It's on my face. It would leave a scar. What if she couldn't get married in the future? I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well. I'm sorry.”The tears flowed even more fiercely, and almost every time he finished speaking, a tear fell on his hand.
His face hurt, but his heart was sweet and warm. Because she had cried for him. "It doesn't matter. If you can't get married, then don't get married.”he said casually.
"Why didn't you go with her? Did she recognize you? If she really recognized you, she wouldn't let it go.”Xue Lin was worried.
"I won't leave." He paused for a moment." I can't bear to part with you…"
However, he couldn't hear the rest of the sentence. He did not dare to say it. As long as he could stay by her side like this, it would be good enough.
Just as she finished treating Yicui Yin's wound, there was a commotion outside. Xue Lin frowned and told him to have a good rest before rushing out to greet the guests.
The newcomer was a young woman in her thirties or forties. She was dressed very decently, and there was a faint aristocratic aura between her brows. Her well-maintained face was still extremely beautiful. If she were to describe it as a flowering period, she was now in full bloom. She was extremely beautiful. It was in full bloom.
Xue Lin put away her admiring expression and asked lightly,""May I ask what is the matter?"
The person smiled and said elegantly,"Boss Mu sure knows how to joke. You're still joking with me at such an important moment today.”
"How would I dare? I'm stupid. Please tell me.”
"Is Young Master Lian here? Can you call him out for a moment?" The woman's beautiful eyes swept around and finally landed on Xue Lin's face.
"Young Master Lian? May I know why Daren is looking for him? I'm really sorry, Young Master Lian…doesn't accept guests.”What was going on today? Why was everyone here to ask her for him? She felt very uneasy. Sun Lian had never shown his face in public and was not among the young masters. How did this woman know of his existence?
The woman instantly stood up and her expression changed. "You'd better let him out.”
"What is it?"
"You really don't know?" The woman paused and looked at Xue Lin's confused eyes." A month ago, Master Lian signed a contract with me and sold himself to me. I'm here to pick him up today. Boss Mu, do you want to take a look at the contract? Alright, I'll put it on. Here, take a good look.”
Xue Lin trembled as she took the contract. Her eyes turned wet after a glance. She finally understood how he could avoid Liu Rong and go to prison to see her. At that time, she knew that he must have gone through a lot of hardships, but she did not expect it to be like this! He sold himself and used the money to pay for the prison and their expenses for the month.
"Sir, I'll return this money to you. Can you not take him away yet?”Xue Lin looked at him and begged.
"This is not a small sum. I know you're very capable, Boss Mu, but I don't want the money. I'm only here to take him away. Young Master Lian, you're finally here. Let's go!”
Sun Lian had already arrived in front of her, her face already filled with sorrow. He didn't dare to look at her. His head was lowered and his body was trembling.
She could no longer hold back her tears and they fell to the ground. "Sir, please be magnanimous. I will return the money.”Xue Lin grabbed the woman's sleeve and begged pitifully.
"Boss Mu, you might not understand. This isn't about money. We signed a contract. I'm just following the contract.”
"You can't take him away! He's my only family. I'm begging you.”
"I'm sorry." The woman left after saying this. Her servant quickly brought Sun Lian and followed.
Xue Lin kneeled on the ground, tears falling like rain.
He said that he didn't want to live that kind of lowly life again. He said that he didn't want to be bought and sold. He said that it was a life worse than death. However, he chose. Because of her. In order to save her.
Although that woman was beautiful, she was old enough to be his mother! He was only sixteen years old, still a child! How wronged and unwilling he must be!
When she was in the most difficult time, he was the one who called her "sister" over and over again. When she was at her most exhausted, he was by her side to take care of her and help her. When she was being chased by Yun Niao, he had been silently following her, accompanying her through those lonely and fearful nights…
From the moment he saved her, she had decided that she would love him like her own brother for the rest of her life. She would find him a good family in the future and not let him suffer any grievances or bullying.
But now…
She was the one who had harmed him!
At first, she cried silently, but slowly, it turned into a low sob, and finally, it turned into a sad sob.
She cried as she thought about it. After some time, she felt a broad chest around her. She looked up and saw Yin Yicui's injured face.
"Women don't shed tears easily. Miss, you've cried twice today.”Yin Yicui said softly.
Who said that women don't shed tears? A man should not cry easily, alright? What kind of world was this? Did she really have to get rid of all the people around her before she would stop?
"Yicui, will you leave me too?”She leaned her head gently on his shoulder, her hands involuntarily wrapping around his body and hugging him. It seemed that this was the only way she would feel less afraid.
He didn't seem to feel anything wrong with this position. His hands naturally hugged her back and his mouth moved above her forehead."I won't. I won't leave you."
After some time, she seemed to have woken up. She quickly let go of Yin Yicui's arms and said awkwardly,"I'm sorry, I was rude. It's getting late. Go back and rest!”
