In a tavern on Xuchang East Street, Xu Chuan came to meet Cai Yan.
To be honest, he was quite curious. Cai Yan had never asked him out at night before. Moreover, this time, it was not at her house, but at a tavern.
"Sister Zhao Ji invited me to a place like this at such a late hour. Is she trying to humiliate me, or is she trying to be humiliated by me?”
Xu Chuan teased her as usual.
In the beginning, he still had to be a little reserved when interacting with a talented girl like Cai Yan, but after getting familiar with her, his true nature was revealed.
The woman hiding behind the screen couldn't help but curse when she heard this.
On the other hand, Cai Yan, who was sitting in the room, burst out laughing. She had long been used to Xu Chuan's way of communicating. It was just a way to satisfy her mouth.
"To be honest, Brother Chuan, I have a favor to ask of you.”
"It's just that my father can't know about this, so I asked you to come here.”
Xu Chuan sat down and waved his hand.
"Even if you didn't say it, I would have guessed it."
"Tell me, I'll do my best to help you.”
He knew that Cai Yan definitely had something to discuss with him.
However, he really did not know what he could do to help.
After all, she was Cai Yong's daughter. In Xuchang City, if there was anything, Cai Yong could just say a word to Cao Cao and everything would be settled.
If it was too much, Xu Chuan was not prepared to touch it.
He wouldn't take such a big risk for a woman.
"It's like this. I have a cousin who was forced by her father to marry a local bully. That bully was already over forty years old, had a lot of wives, and was violent by nature.”
"In order to avoid this marriage, she could only run away from home. Now that she has nowhere to go, if I don't care about her, I'm afraid that she will starve to death on the streets or be captured by her father sooner or later.”
"So…"
Cai Yan's eyes were like autumn water. He looked at Xu Chuan with sincerity and begged,
"I want Brother Chuan to take her in as a maid in your residence. After a few years, she will be fine after she hides from this storm.”
This was the first time Cai Yan, who had read the books of sages since childhood, had lied.
Fortunately, this lie was not entirely false. At least, in her opinion, other than the fact that she did not explain her identity, everything else was true.
It was also for this reason that Xu Chuan did not doubt her words. He just crossed his arms and curiously sized up Cai Yan.
"Oh, because his father and my father are old friends. Although my father doesn't agree with his actions, if he comes to my door, my father will definitely hand her over.”
Cai Yan understood the confusion in Xu Chuan's heart and explained himself without waiting for him to open his mouth.
"I've been thinking about it. Only your residence can help her avoid this disaster. Can you help her?”
Xu Chuan rubbed his chin and pondered.
After a while, he lowered his head and asked,
"Is it beautiful?"
Cai Yan, Diao Chan: o((⊙ ⊙))o
These words almost made Cai Yan fall off the stool.
She had thought that he would lament over Diao Chan's bitter family background and would definitely accept it righteously.
Or perhaps, he was just throwing a tantrum and wanted to make some money.
God knew he would say something like that.
"Still... It's alright."
Cai Yan facepalmed.
Even Sister Zhao Ji said it was okay, so it shouldn't be bad.
Xiao Mei was too monotonous. Her life would be more comfortable after adding another person.
"Alright, I promise you. Bring it to my residence tomorrow.”
Xu Chuan, who had fallen into a beautiful dream, agreed readily.
"No need, Brother Chuan."
"She... She's behind the screen. Come out, Little Chan.”
Little Chan?
Hmm, even the name was quite poetic. To be able to give such a pleasant name, the person must not be bad.
Following this call, Diao Chan walked out from behind the screen.
The moment he saw Diao Chan, Xu Chuan was dumbfounded.
At this moment, Diao Chan had a three-centimeter-long scar on the left side of her face, and there were many pockmarks on the right side of her face. Coupled with the fact that she had combed her hair into a middle-aged woman's bun, she did not have the slightest bit of agility from before.
Xu Chuan spread out his hands and looked at Cai Yan. He asked in disbelief,
"Is this what you meant by... It's alright, right?"
Before Cai Yan could explain, Xu Chuan continued,
"Also, you said that her father wanted to force her to marry a bully. Tell me where that bully is. I want to see if there's anything wrong with his eyes.”
This was bad. She had asked Diao Chan to disguise herself because she was worried that Wang Yun would post her portrait after the incident, not because she was afraid that Xu Chuan would have any evil intentions.
She had forgotten that this excuse was full of contradictions with the disguised her.
No matter how talented Cai Yan was, at this moment, she also could not find any excuse to round up this lie.
Just as Cai Yan was stammering, Diao Chan could not hold it in anymore.
"Are you done feeding you? I'm just a servant girl for you. Do you think I'm asking you to choose a concubine?”
This time, Xu Chuan was even more confused.
"F * ck, this..."
He had never been insulted like this since he transmigrated.
Moreover, the other party was a young girl.
The most important thing was that he now suspected that Cai Yan had found him a maid or a young miss with such a fiery temper.
Thinking about Xiao Mei, not only was she beautiful, but she was also very gentle. They were both maids, so why was the difference between them so big?
Initially, Xu Chuan felt that it was a little inappropriate to say that she was ugly in front of her.
Now, it seemed that this was not too much.
Just as he was about to retort, Cai Yan hurriedly pushed Diao Chan to the side and muttered,"
"Sister, don't make a scene. No one in Xuchang City can save you except him.”
"I told you long ago that you would suffer some grievances.”
"Besides, Brother Chuan is just a little talkative, but he's still a very good person. You can't throw a tantrum anymore!”
Diao Chan frowned.
That's right, the residence might have already started taking action. Now was indeed not the time to throw a tantrum.
After taking a deep breath, Diao Chan walked up to Xu Chuan and said coldly,"
"I'm sorry, Master. I'm ugly, but I'm very gentle!”
Xu Chuan yawned and stood up. Without looking back, he said,
"It's very late. You guys should rest early.”
"Don't, don't, don't!"
Diao Chan was really afraid this time. She quickly stood in front of Xu Chuan and begged in an extremely gentle voice,
"Old Master, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again.”
"Please take me in."
Cai Yan also walked over and said pitifully,
"Brother Chuan, please help me.”
Xu Chuan was afraid of being begged by women.
It was not a big deal. If it did not look good, she would just go back and not look at it.
It was not impossible to leave her to Xiao Mei to help with the housework.
Xu Chuan sighed and said faintly,
"Forget it, who asked little sister Zhao Ji to speak.”
"I'm telling you, be smart when you go back. If you dare to throw a tantrum again, I'll kick you out!”
"Got it…"
This time, Diao Chan learned her lesson and nodded obediently.
However, he cursed in his heart. Wasn't he still coveting my sister's body?
