Fast Travel: The Hundred-Life Couple

Chapter 166 Cannon Fodder Sister 02

"...I am Tu Dongxu, the Prince of Jin. Thank you very much for saving my life, young lady. I wonder if I could learn your name? I will come to your house someday with gifts to express my sincere gratitude."

Just like in his previous life, Ye Xiaoli took out the sleeping pills he was carrying and threw them to Tu Dongxu. Tu Dongxu then fought with a group of black-clad assassins while judging the wind direction and spreading the sleeping pills, gradually gaining the upper hand.

As for Ye Xiaoli, she was worried that the men in black would not be able to capture Tu Dongxu and would send others to hold her hostage, so she drew the soft sword from her waist and waved it around with her eyes closed, preventing anyone from getting close to her.

Finally, when the men in black saw that they could not kill Tu Dongxu, they retreated.

Tu Dongxu looked at the group of men in black who retreated so easily, his eyes flashed, he suppressed the doubts in his heart, stepped forward and thanked Ye Xiaoli who put the soft sword back to his waist.

He already knew that he had been betrayed by people around him and his whereabouts had been revealed. He also knew that today's assassination was very sloppy, and the woman in front of him who was carrying drugs with her was a great suspect.

But... he seemed to fall in love with the woman in front of him at first sight.

There were many doubts about today's assassination, but he didn't want to doubt her at all. Even if it was her, he just had to figure out her identity and needs. Wouldn't it be enough for him to satisfy her needs himself?

Thinking of this, the wounds all over his body from the fight just now no longer hurt. Tu Dongxu looked at Ye Xiaoli with anticipation.

I wanted to know everything about her immediately, and then go back home and ask my mother to go to her house to propose marriage.

Ye Xiaoli's pensive expression faded. Under Tu Dongxu's gaze, her cheeks gradually flushed. She lowered her eyes shyly and bit her lip, "Your Excellency is too polite. I'm unworthy of your life-saving grace. I was just visiting Xiangshan Temple with my sister, and I happened to lend you some self-defense powder that I made myself. It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning..."

After a pause, she whispered, "I am the eldest daughter of Lord Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"It turned out to be Miss Ye!"

Tu Dongxu was excited when he finally heard what he wanted to know, but when he thought that Miss Ye actually needed to use medicine powder to protect herself and carried a soft sword with her, it meant that Miss Ye must be in dire straits and full of crises.

Although he was a man, he knew a thing or two about the overt and covert struggles among the women in the imperial harem. It seemed that the wife of Lord Ye, the Minister of Rites, was a second marriage, while Miss Ye was the legitimate daughter of the original wife, and was undoubtedly a thorn in the side of her stepmother.

No, he must marry Miss Ye home as soon as possible to help him escape from his suffering!

"Well... you saved my life, how can that be considered insignificant? As the saying goes, a life-saving favor should be repaid with a thousandfold gratitude. Since you saved me today, I'll have my mother go to your house tomorrow to propose marriage, okay?"

Tu Dongxu looked at Ye Xiaoli's suddenly widened eyes and thought she was so cute.

Ye Xiaoli looked up, a bright and charming light blooming in his eyes, and he smiled and nodded.

"It's a deal then!" Tu Dongxu excitedly took out the jade pendant from his clothes and handed it to Ye Xiaoli, "Miss Ye, this is a token of love I give you."

Ye Xiaoli put it away and found that he had nothing to give to Tu Dongxu, feeling a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Tu Dongxu raised the half-spilled powder bag in his hand and said with a bright smile, "Miss Ye gave me this today. It means more than any token of love."

Not long after, footsteps were heard not far away. Tu Dongxu's face changed, and he said to Ye Xiaoli reluctantly: "It seems that someone is here to look for you. If others see us treating you badly, I will leave first."

Ye Xiaoli nodded, and in the blink of an eye he hid behind a big tree.

Ye Bailian, along with the two of them and their four maids, hurried over and said, "Sister, why are you here alone? I've been looking for you for a long time. By the way, have you seen Master Tu? I searched all over Xiangshan Temple but couldn't find him."

"I saw him, and he fell in love with me at first sight. He plans to ask his mother to come to our house to propose marriage tomorrow." Ye Xiaoli said with a smile.

"What?" Ye Bailian pretended to be incredulous and heartbroken. "Sister, why are you like this? You knew I liked Tu Shizi first, but he fell in love with you... Well, sister, you are so outstanding and beautiful, how could he not like you? I am just wishful thinking."

"Home is hell. My sister finally has a chance to escape and get married. Just let me stay home alone and fend for myself under the hands of that vicious woman."

Ye Bailian's face suddenly became full of despair and lifeless.

She was very satisfied with her plan and knew that Tu Dongxu would definitely fall in love with her sister, and her sister would definitely call her "Ye Bailian".

Let this marriage be yours.

Although I will not marry Tu Dongxu, how can my sister marry such an outstanding person?

Kuai Qiang Yan Huanxiao told me that you told him my name, Kuai Qiang endured the pain and comforted me, saying that the person Tu Dongxu’s mother would come to propose marriage tomorrow would definitely be me!
