Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Although Yu Anhou is only 34 years old this year, he has made great achievements in battle. Even if he asked to retire due to serious injuries, his colleagues still went to great lengths to send their daughters to him as concubines.

His wife passed away shortly after giving birth to their legitimate son. The position of the Marquis's wife had been vacant ever since, and his colleagues urged his daughter to fight hard, while she dreamed of a great future every day.

"Master Hou."

Xu Yuanchao was obviously a little impatient and immediately called the housekeeper.

"Pull it away for me, the noise is giving me a headache."

"Yes."

In this situation, the other concubines dared not nag anymore and they bowed and left.

Tomorrow is another good day for a rest day. After some ideological struggle, Ran Qianxi finally sneaked out of the Ran Mansion.

With Tan Qianhuan as her guarantor, even if she does not return home tonight, her eldest brother will only think that she went to the Jibei Palace.

"Hey, tomorrow is a day off, how about we go fishing and have a picnic?"

Qian Jingyang's eyes changed and he immediately exchanged signals with her.

Although Shang Zilai did not show much expression, he had a smile on his face as he watched the two of them come up with their wonderful ideas.

"Sure, this is a great time for camping and fishing."

Whether in study, thinking, or playing, Qian Jingyang and her are always in sync, and they can really be considered good brothers who wear the same pants.

To go to Bu Yue Lou, one had to pass through the Yu'an Marquis Mansion. When they arrived at the door, they saw the third concubine kneeling outside the gate.

Just when he was worrying about where to put Xu Yuanchao in trouble, Ran Qianxi raised her eyebrows and the corners of her mouth, and shouted towards the courtyard.

"Oh my, I really didn't expect that my future husband's family would be so inhumane. How could I dare to marry him?"

"Alas... Lord... you can't find your son so you take it out on me. You are such a gentleman."

The more she spoke, the more outrageous it became. Qian Jingyang and Shang Zilai were sweating for her.

In addition to her father who is the president of the Hanlin Academy, she also has an adoptive father who is more powerful than her master, and her mother is a close friend of the empress dowager, who relies on her status and position to do evil things every day.

"Master Xi, let's go. This is the Marquis' Mansion after all. Don't provoke them..."

Qian Jingyang pulled her away. Xu Yuanchao heard it all clearly in the hall and strode out.

"stop."

So what if she heard the sound? Ran Qianxi was not afraid at all. She turned her head away nonchalantly, which was very annoying.

"What? Did I say something wrong? Father-in-law..."

Xu Yuanchao was silent for a moment, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Are you relying on the King of Jibei or your father, the head of the courtyard, to dare to roar at the Marquis' Mansion like this?"

Ran Qianxi pulled her arm away and walked back, with a scornful smile on her face.

"You are wrong. I have never bullied others by taking advantage of my power. I roared at the Marquis' Mansion because you dared not do anything to me because of His Majesty's decree."

"Alright, Master Xi... let's go..."

Ran Qianxi's contemptuous laughter became louder and louder.

"Leave? I'm not afraid of him. If you have the guts, arrest me!"

Xu Yuanchao looked at her calmly, as if he understood why she acted this way.

"Hmph, don't think that I will write to His Majesty to cancel the engagement just because of this lack of rules."

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Do you think I did this to break off the engagement? You're wrong. I just want to make things awkward for you. Is that not okay?"

Xu Yuanchao took a few steps towards her. The Marquis's aura was stronger than hers, and she seemed to be at a disadvantage.

"You are so unruly and like to tease others. I should marry you and teach you a lesson."

"Haha, rules? You're talking to me about rules. Who has no rules? Whose son has no rules?"

When the wedding date was approaching, Xu Mingxuan ran away. Ran Qianxi was so embarrassed that she couldn't save face. Otherwise, she would never treat him like this. After all, she had a close relationship with the man in front of her.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's cold eyes flashed.

"Your son ran away from his marriage, and the Ran family's reputation has long been lost. Now you are still here to teach me the rules. The people in the Marquis' Mansion are really talented and shameless."

"Master Xi."

Shang Zilai finally couldn't sit still anymore. Every time she made trouble for others, Shang Zilai never stopped her. This time, he really went too far.

Ran Qianxi turned around and looked at him.

"I'm not done yet."

Looking back, Xu Yuanchao put his arms around her waist and kissed her. His Adam's apple slid down and he slowly closed his eyes.

Ran Qianxi's thoughts suddenly stopped and she completely forgot what she had just said.

After a while, Xu Yuanchao held her head and began to kiss her deeply, his Adam's apple moving faster and faster, with higher and higher frequency, and he was completely immersed in it.

Qian Jingyang and Shang Zilai couldn't bear to look at him any longer, nor did they have the courage to pull the marquis away, so they could only cover their foreheads and turn away.

Ran Qianxi did not struggle at all in his arms, and Xu Yuanchao finally let her go after half an incense stick of time.

"You...are you lacking recently?"

Xu Yuanchao's expression suddenly changed from before, with tenderness in his eyes and a hint of meaning on the corners of his mouth.

"Yes."

This "yes" is very tender and touching.

Ran Qianxi wiped her lips and stretched out her right hand.

"Give me the money. I haven't married yet."

Xu Yuanchao smiled widely and took out a stack of silver bills totaling three thousand taels.

"enough?"

Ran Qianxi was blinded by the money and snatched it into her hands with admiration in her eyes.

“So generous?”

Xu Yuanchao still had that same smile on his face.

"If it's not enough, come back to me for more."

He knew that the girls came to the mansion to drink, so he gave her a lot of banknotes to make her have fun.

"Enough, enough, enough... That's enough... Thank you, father-in-law."

Ran Qianxi lowered her head and counted the silver bills very seriously. After counting, she took Qian Jingyang and Shang Zilai away.

"It's my treat tonight, let's go!"

Xu Yuanchao turned around and gave a look, and the housekeeper immediately dragged the concubine away in front of the door.

"Yes."

Moon Catching Tower

Although this is a red building, there are also musicians, and the courtesan is extremely famous.

Yun Shuang is the chief courtesan, who sells her art but not her body. The others include Jian Yu, also a man, who sells both her art and her body. There is also a woman named Zhu Xian, who is good at poetry and literature and also sells her art and her body.

As soon as she entered the gate, the madam immediately recognized Ran Qianxi and walked over to her attentively.

"Miss Yo Ran, you haven't been here for several days. Yun Shuang missed you so much."

Once, Ran Qianxi was drunk and insisted on ordering Yun Shuang to serve her in bed. She was rich, powerful and had a high status. The madam really didn't want to close down Bo Yue Lou, but she had to discuss it with Yun Shuang. For the sake of the overall situation, he agreed to the excessive request and did not charge any money.

"No, you miss my money?"

"Oh my god, what are you talking about? Yunshuang is free."

"Oh? Mom wants the money back now?"

The atmosphere was awkward, and the madam didn't want to bring up the past again, so she smiled and flattered him.

"Oh, you misunderstood me, your mother. So, after Yun Shuang finishes playing the piano, let him accompany you."

Ran Qianxi smiled with satisfaction and took out one thousand taels. The madam's eyes were as hot as the sun in China and Japan.

"Oh, Miss Ran is always so generous. I will arrange a private room for the three of you right away."

One thousand taels is not too much to play here for half a month.
