"Why didn't you use the front or back door? You look like a thief!" She deliberately ignored his question and pouted at him.
The first time she showed her delicate appearance, it immediately made his heart palpitate. He could not help but lower his head and steal a sweet kiss.
"It's faster to walk from here." After saying that, he immediately jumped over the wall and was already outside the wall in the blink of an eye.
"Can you put me down now?"
She struggled lightly, but he did not object and put her down, letting her stand properly.
"I'll send you back." He just wanted to know where she lived.
"No need. I can go back by myself.”She just didn't want him to know where she lived. How could she let him follow her now?
"No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone.”It was too dangerous for a girl like her to walk on the streets. She did not know martial arts to protect herself. How could he let her go back alone?
"I'm a man now." Qi 'er pointed at her clothes." No one would attack a man."”Unless she met a bold and open woman who was a super bully, she was safe.
"Not everyone can tell your gender.”He and Li Meng were ready-made examples.
"This…Alright!" She reluctantly agreed, but she was still thinking about how to get rid of him.
"How do I get to the place where you kidnapped me?”She had never been here before.
"Here." Shangguan Rui naturally took her hand and walked forward.
After turning a few streets, they finally returned to the original street.
"Miss!" Rong 'er and Xin' er's voices came from behind her.
"You're fine. That's great!" They rushed to her side and waved Shangguan Rui's hand away, glaring at him fiercely.
If anything happened to her, they would not be able to explain it to the Emperor. It was all his fault!
Shangguan Rui turned a blind eye to their stares. He didn't need to explain anything to them.
"Miss, let's go back!" Xin 'er pulled her master and wanted to leave.
"Yes." She looked up at Shangguan Rui." They can go back with me."”If she wanted to get rid of him, she had to do it now.
"Yes." Shangguan Rui did not say anything more and turned to leave.
Strange! Why was he so easy to talk to now? Could it be that he didn't want to know where she lived?
The three women watched him leave until he disappeared from sight. Only then did they look away with relief.
"Let's go!" Qi 'er took the lead and walked forward. Seeing Shangguan Rui leave, she went home with ease.
Thus, the three women entered the back door of Yunsheng Court without any wariness. After a while, a tall man appeared from the corner of the street.
He looked at the door and frowned.
Was this the reason why she refused to tell him where she lived? Who was she inside? Was it the girl who worked inside? Or... Qi 'er returned to her own garden in exhaustion. Just as she passed through the garden, a cold voice came from behind her.
"Who is Yun Mi to you?"
Qi 'er turned around and looked at the man in the dark.
"Are you ashamed? Young Master Shangguan." She was now Madam Baiyun, so she naturally did not need to be polite to him.
Shangguan Rui came out from the dark and stopped five steps away from her." Who is Yun Mi to you?" He asked again.
"Yun Mi?" How did he know? Had he found out? "I have so many ladies here. Even if I can't remember all of them, I know that there's no lady named Yun Mi. Young Master Shangguan, are you looking for the wrong place?”She shouldn't have left any clues for him to find this place. She hadn't gone out recently, so how did he know?
"Madam, I didn't say that Yun Mi is a girl. You're confessing without being forced.”He looked at her shrewdly. He would not stop until he found out the truth.
Qi 'er was stunned. This name could be male or female. She was too self-righteous and left a story for him to catch, but she was not a fake.
"The man who came to my place, could it be that he's here to find a man?”She asked him back, and the problem was solved with two simple sentences.
" I know she's here." He couldn't be more certain of this.
"If I say no, then no," Why was he so sure that Yun Mi was with her? "What right do you have to say that I have Yun Mi here?”He wouldn't send someone to monitor her, would he?
Shangguan Rui smiled coldly." Because I saw her walk in here with my own eyes."”If she said that she didn't know, he wouldn't believe her. He only believed what he saw.
"You saw it with your own eyes?" How was this possible? She remembered that she…he had lied to them when he left that day? He actually secretly followed them back.
"I'm sure she never left your place.”He had already sent someone to watch the door that Mia had entered. It was the door to the private residence of the owner of Yunsheng Garden. She did not go out to receive guests, so it was impossible for her to go through another door.
Qi 'er narrowed her eyes at him." You sent someone to spy on me?”This was the only possibility.
"That's right."
"Young Master Shangguan, please remember your identity. Not only are you not qualified to spend money in my garden, but you are also not qualified to enter this place, let alone ask me anything.”He actually dared to do this! He actually sent people to monitor this place!
"Millie is my unmarried wife. Of course, I have the right to ask her anything.”
An unmarried wife? He really dared to say that. She hadn't promised him yet.
"It's impossible for Mia to marry you."
"Who are you to Mia?"
" It has nothing to do with you." Hmph! Did she have to answer every question he asked?
"Millie is your daughter?" That was the only possibility. Mia had said that her mother had to make the decisions for her matters. There was also the matter that she had asked her to investigate. All of these were very related to Madam Baiyun.
Daughter? This…seemed to make sense.
"So what if I am?" Since he was so sure that she was inside, then he couldn't lie to him. Why not just follow his imagination and become his future mother-in-law?
"You didn't let her out?"
"So what if I am?"
"Are you against our marriage?"
" So what if I am?" She still said these four words.
"Don't you know how to say anything else other than those four words?”
"So what if I am?" She wanted to anger him to death.
"I want to see Millie." He couldn't find her at the inn today, so he wanted to know how she was doing.
"I'm sorry, but I can't comply." It was impossible for him to see Yun Mi again.
"I want to see her." He said firmly.
Qi 'er wasn't an easy person to talk to either. "Impossible." She would not ask for trouble.
" You…" He rushed forward and grabbed her wrist. A knife flew at him, and he had to let go of her hand and take a few steps back.
Rong 'er and Xin' er rushed over to protect their master.
"Young Master Shangguan, you shouldn't have come here.”How did he find this place? Did he already know everything?
In order to prevent them from talking, Qi 'er immediately said,""That's right. If you want to marry my daughter, you should follow the rules. Otherwise, you can never see her again.”She was not only saying this to Shangguan Rui, but also to Rong 'er and Xin' er.
"If we follow the rules, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Mia in this life.”He did not believe that she would let Mia see him. He remembered that she hated him very much. Would she let him have his wish so easily?
It looked like he wasn't planning to leave. Alright, then don't blame her.
"Rong 'er, Xin' er, please leave, Young Master Shangguan.”She trusted their skills.
"Yes, Madam." The two of them immediately attacked as soon as they received the order. Their every move was fierce and full of courage.
Shangguan Rui defused their attacks at ease. The more he fought, the more energetic he became. The two of them were rare experts, but he was not an ordinary person. It was more than enough to defeat them.
Qi 'er's smile gradually disappeared as they fought. She did not know that Shangguan Rui' er's martial arts attainments were so high. Rong 'er and Xin' er's skills were rarely comparable, not to mention that they had joined forces to attack one person, but he could easily resolve it. This…Should she find more helpers?
She looked at the three people fighting with a little worry. Suddenly, she thought of something and rushed into the house. When she came out, she had two swords in her hands.
" Rong 'er, Xin' er, catch it." She threw the sword to them.
If they were to fight him empty-handed, they would indeed be at a disadvantage. However, with the addition of a sword, their abilities would definitely increase by a lot.
Did she really want him dead? He even used his sword! But even if he was empty-handed and without any weapons, he was not easy to deal with.
The two people who had the upper hand fought more and more strenuously. Shangguan Rui had already figured out their tricks, and it was getting harder and harder to win against him.
Rong 'er and Xin' er automatically withdrew their hands and returned to their master's side.
"I'm sorry, Madam. We can't invite Young Master Shangguan.”I'm ashamed! They were too ashamed to see her.
"It's okay. I know you've done your best.”She didn't know much about kung fu, but at least she knew that the guards in the garden probably couldn't beat him. Their kung fu was not as good as Rong 'er and Xin' er, let alone Shangguan Rui. That would only humiliate themselves.
"Madam, are you going to tell me where Mia is, or do you want me to find her myself?”No one could stop him from looking for Mia, not even her.
Was he threatening her? Humph! How could he not think of a way?
"Millie isn't here." There was no such person. "This morning, I sent someone to send her to a courtyard in the western suburbs. She is waiting to get married!”She wanted to say that she was already dead, but this lie seemed to be easily exposed by him. She did not expect him to come here. If she had known earlier, she would have prepared everything and waited for him to come.
"Who is she going to marry?" His reaction was very fast, almost immediately.
" This…" She didn't know who to talk about. Suddenly, she thought of someone who might be able to get rid of him…" Tell me.”He would never allow her to marry someone else. She was his, and no one was allowed to snatch her away from him.
"This…Alright! He's the most powerful person in the world." It was better to be cautious in this matter. If it was not handled properly, many people would die.
"The Emperor?" If it was him, he might still have a chance. He had many concubines and would not turn against him because of a woman.
"It's Prince Lu." Please! She did not want to be called incest!
"Prince Lu!"
"Is there a need to be so surprised? Or do you know Prince Lu?"
In fact, Prince Lu liked Yingying from her garden, but he also wanted to touch her. Anyway, he knew that he was a pervert.
"Mi 'er cannot marry Prince Lu." She would not have a good life if she married him, and if they found evidence of Prince Lu's rebellion, her entire family would be executed. He could not let her die.
"Why?" It seemed that he still cared about her! The corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
"Mi 'er must not marry Prince Lu.”He couldn't give a reason. Before he found evidence, he didn't want to alert the enemy.
"That doesn't seem to work. If Mi 'er doesn't want to marry, Qi' er will. However, Mi 'er would rather die than let Qi' er marry. Besides, I've already promised Prince Lu. In the end, Mi-er still has to marry.”
"What do you take Mia and Qi as?”Her attitude was as if she was doing business. She did not react as a mother should.
"As a daughter!" She looked at him like he was an idiot. "What's wrong with marrying Prince Lu? He had power and influence. It was a rare good thing for either Mier or Qier to marry him.”She said it as if it was true, but in fact, she had already cursed Prince Lu to death in her heart.
"If Prince Lu had no power or influence, would you still marry Mi 'er to him?”Shangguan Rui looked at her calmly and had a plan in his heart.
"Of course not, but you can't deny that Prince Lu is very powerful. It's my daughter's fortune to be able to marry him.”She took out the hairpin he had given her from her bosom." This was given to me by Mi 'er. She wanted me to return it to you on her wedding day. Take it back!"”Although she liked this hairpin very much, she still had to return it to him. She was not blessed to enjoy his kind intentions. At least, she had to wait until after the matter with Prince Lu.
Looking at the hairpin in her hand, Shangguan Rui did not reach out to take it. "Give it to Mia! I'll do what I said. I want her.”
Qi 'er looked at him, touched by his words. She suddenly had the urge to tell him the truth, but she suppressed it. The country was in a crisis, and she couldn't talk about love at this time.
"I'll tell her how you feel." Should she take a gamble? After all, he was really good to her, and she did not hate him.
Rong 'er and Xin' er looked at their Master in surprise, wondering why their Master would say that. Was she tempted? Did she have real feelings for this man who had repeatedly taken advantage of her?
Even he was a little surprised by her sudden words.
"When is Mia's wedding?”
"The fifteenth of this month." There were only ten days left.
In other words, he only had ten days to find evidence to convict Prince Lu…Seeing that he seemed to have some plans, she glanced at Rong 'er and Xin' er. She had decided to gamble. If he could successfully find the evidence, she would marry him and gamble her entire life.
"Prince Lu will hold a banquet at home tomorrow to entertain some distinguished guests. It might be to discuss the wedding! If you want to persuade him not to marry Mia, you can go to him then.”
In fact, Prince Lu was going to have a meeting with his accomplices to discuss the treason plan. She was giving him the latest and most confidential information. If he could understand it, he should not go looking for her in a big way. If he failed, she might have to close the Yunsheng Garden and prepare to escape.
"You…thank you." He cupped his hands at her politely and immediately disappeared into the darkness.
What she said was very likely what he had guessed. If her information was correct, Prince Lu would lose his head this time.
"Miss, why did you tell him such an important thing?”Xin 'er looked at her master in confusion and followed her into the house.
" If Young Master Shangguan really goes to the door, then the consequences..." Rong 'er was also very suspicious of what her master was planning.
"Although I don't know who he is, I'm sure he's no ordinary person. Perhaps he can help.”That father of his…she seemed to have seen him somewhere before.
" But if it fails…" Many people would lose their precious lives.
"Does Imperial Brother know about tomorrow's matter?" She suddenly asked. She remembered that she had instructed them to do it.
"Got it." It was precisely because they were going to do this that she was harassed by Shangguan Rui again.
"What did he say?" Based on her understanding of the Emperor's brother, he would not leave it alone. It would be too dangerous to just leave it to Shangguan Rui. The more people there were, the greater the chance of winning.
"He has already thought of a countermeasure, please rest assured.”
"Is that so?" Would his plan clash with hers? Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. Why didn't she just go and see for herself!
Qi 'er got rid of Rong' er and Xin 'er and ran to Prince Lu's mansion alone. Her delicate and beautiful white silk made her look like a fairy who had accidentally fallen into the world. The guards at the door did not care about anything when they saw the beauty and happily went to her side to lower their voices.
Qi 'er smiled sweetly and immediately charmed the two guards into a daze. They did not care about her identity and allowed her to enter Prince Lu's mansion.
Qi 'er looked around leisurely. The smile on her face attracted the attention of many servants, who were very curious about her identity.
"Young lady."
A familiar voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw Prince Lu and the group of Jianghu people behind him.
When they saw her, they were obviously stunned for a moment, and their eyes could not hide their amazement.
The smile on Qi 'er's face disappeared. She took out a jade pendant from her bosom and handed it to Prince Lu." This is what you lost in Yunsheng Garden."”She looked unwilling and unwilling, as if she did not want to return the things at all.
Actually, she had ordered someone to take it from him. Now, it could be used as an excuse to enter this place.
"Are you a girl from Yunsheng Court? Why haven't I seen it before?" A man behind Prince Lu looked at her in surprise, and the annoyance in his tone was quite obvious.
Qi 'er glanced at him coldly and left without saying anything.
"Miss, wait." Prince Lu hurriedly stopped her." Since you're here, please have a cup of tea before you leave. Otherwise, outsiders will think that this Prince has no hospitality."”Intuition told him that she was not an ordinary girl, and it was impossible for her to be a woman who served guests in Yunsheng Court. For her to be able to stay in Madam Baiyun's private estate, her status must be extraordinary.
"There's no need. His Highness still has many guests to entertain.”She glanced at everyone coldly, laughing in her heart at her accurate guess. She knew that he would definitely want her to stay and find out about her while he was at it.
" This..." Prince Lu turned around and looked at everyone's infatuated eyes. He did have something urgent to do, but he did not want to let her go.
"Wangye, it's no problem. We can't wait to have such a beautiful girl to accompany us.”
"Yeah! It's good to have a chat in the hall together."
Everyone was mesmerized by her beauty and had no mood to discuss their great cause.
"Miss, this way please." Prince Lu made an inviting gesture, not allowing her to refuse at all.
Qi 'er obeyed him without saying a word, but her little face was still tense.
As soon as she sat down, someone was curious about her.
"May I know how I should address you?" Prince Lu's lecherous hand was about to hold her delicate hand, but she avoided it.
"My surname is Yun." Sigh! Were they going to discuss the matter or not? Why was he always so friendly to her? Have they forgotten their roots when they see women?
"Miss Yun is…"
"Wangye, it's not good to let a girl stay here!”A man with a half-ruined face suddenly walked in and shot Qi 'er an unhappy look.
"Lord Fu, you're here." Prince Lu nodded at him and asked him to sit down with him.
Lord Fu? Qi 'er looked at him expressionlessly, but she was actually very surprised. Is he that Lord Fu? Why did he change? Was it Imperial Brother's doing?
Her unabashed gaze made him glare fiercely. He hated it when others stared at his ruined face. No matter how beautiful she was, he didn't like her. He only cared about himself. If it wasn't for that stupid dog Emperor, he wouldn't have to live in such pain.
"Wangye, it's not good to let an outsider stay here!”Lord Fu glared at Qi 'er again and asked her to leave.
Without waiting for Prince Lu to say anything, Qi 'er snorted coldly and was about to leave, but he was stopped by him.
"Miss Yun is not an outsider. She is my unmarried concubine.”Prince Lu caught her off guard and held her soft little hand.
Qi 'er widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him in surprise, but she did not say anything. Her eyes were filled with obvious displeasure. It seemed that this wolf liked her very much. Beauty was indeed useful.
Qi 'er sipped her tea leisurely, her ears carefully listening to their conversation.
Her silence just now made her status quickly turn from an outsider to an "inner person", a woman who was enough to sit beside Prince Lu.
Her indifference made Prince Lu like her very much. In order to show his importance to her, he even let her sit at the side and watch without caring. He did not forget to look at her with caring eyes.
Suddenly, the commotion outside attracted her attention. Not long after, she saw a big battle, and the leaders were Shangguan Rui and Li.
She narrowed her eyes and became even more suspicious of their identities. Could it be that the two of them were arranged by her Imperial Brother?
Li Hu didn't say anything when he saw her, but Shangguan Rui Hu was almost furious. She was actually in such a dangerous place.
Lord Fu saw that the enemy was coming menacingly and instinctively felt that he was going to die. However, when he saw Shangguan Rui's inexplicable gaze on Yun Mi, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He quickly came to Yun Mi's side and pressed his sword against her slender neck.
"Stop, or I'll kill this woman immediately!”
Heavens! How could this be? She was just a spectator. How could something happen to her?
Everyone ignored his curses and continued to fight to the death with the enemy.
Shangguan Rui was shocked. If Qi 'er hadn't stopped him with her eyes, he might have rushed forward and cut him into pieces! If he dared to hurt her, he would not let him off easily.
"Hey! Nobody cares about you!" Qi 'er spoke fearlessly, ignoring the pale look on his face. "If you want to leave, you can do it now!”She kindly advised him to push the sword against his neck away.
"Let's go." Lord Fu grabbed her arm and dragged her away.
Shangguan Rui chased after her without thinking, but he stopped after a few steps. He was struggling in his heart. Should he save her, or should he kill all these rebels first?
Li Hu saw his struggle. "Go! I'll be fine here. If it's any later, you'll live in the pain of losing her forever.”Only those who had experienced it would know how painful it was.
"Thanks." Shangguan Rui hurriedly chased after her, praying in his heart that she would be safe.#
