This villain has become a ghost

Su Xi felt uneasy as Yue Liuyun stared at him with an incomprehensible expression.

He secretly glanced at his brother, swallowed, and then straightened his expression and said slowly: "...What?"

Liu Zeyin and Jiang Wenjin looked at her together.

Yue Liuyun's eyes were as sharp as torches, and every word he spoke was clear.

"You say women are unpresentable, and that they are born low... Then I bet, one day, when the skies are clear, they will all be far superior to you. We won't be forgotten, but will win the first prize in the imperial examination, and the new year will be wet with yellow, and one day, a cattail sail will be a hundred feet high in the wind."

At the same time, the girls behind her also stared at Su Xi with the same look. Their shoulders were thin, and they looked weak, yet strong.

Su Xi clenched his teeth, his expression extremely ugly.

This is pure humiliation.

But so what.

The court today is still dominated by aristocratic families. An ordinary person will never be able to reach the height he was born into in his entire life, let alone a few women.

Su Xi's face changed from white to blue, and then from blue to red.

"Just bet!"

Yue Liuyun smiled suddenly: "Okay."

As for the results...

It shouldn't take that long, we'll know the result soon.

-

A farce that ended in a bad mood.

In the carriage, Su Shaoran sat upright, his eyes closed, his face expressionless.

"Brother, why did you come here..." Su Xi struggled to speak in the low pressure, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

Su Shaoran said calmly: "I have sent someone to follow you."

“Oh…ah????”

Su Shaoran said, "If you had committed fewer crimes, this wouldn't have happened."

Su Xi said aggrievedly, "Brother, are you really going to punish me according to the law?"

"The law is unforgiving," Su Shaoran said calmly, "According to the law, the most you will be detained in the Dali Temple for a few days. I advise you to take care of yourself."

"But……"

Su Xi bit her lip.

He knew that his brother was ruthless and his father was even more so, but the place where he was imprisoned was dark, damp, eerie and terrifying, and was many times worse than their family's solitary confinement cell.

Anyway, his mother dotes on him, so maybe... he could cry to his mother and persuade his brother...

Su Shaoran seemed to see what he was thinking and said coldly, "Don't have any other ideas. This is already the way to the Dali Temple."

Su Xiru was poured with a bucket of cold water.

"You bully the weak and disregard the law. As a member of the Su family, you actually did this. You completely forgot what my father and I taught you. You should reflect on this," Su Shaoran said in a deep voice. "If you do it again, the punishment will not be as simple as imprisonment."

Su Xi shuddered, feeling hopeless.

Although they are all playboys, his other friends do not have such strict family rules. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Su Shaoran opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "If I were you, since I have made a bet, I should try my best to win back my face."

"But you, can't." He glanced at Su Xi indifferently and said calmly.

Su Xi was devastated, feeling that he was being despised. He said in disbelief, "Brother, even you think that I can't compare to those little girls?"

"What level are you at? Don't you have any idea?" Su Shaoran sneered.

Su Xi: “…”

"Besides," Su Shaoran recalled what Yue Liuyun had just said and said slowly, "Anyone who can have such courage and say such words is definitely not an ordinary person."

He paused, stared at Su Xi again, and said, "You are too short-sighted. You don't know that in this world, as long as there are laws, there is order. There is no distinction between high and low among people."

"Do you understand?"

Su Xi was speechless for a long time before he opened his mouth and was about to speak.

But then Su Shaoran sneered again: "Forget it, you don't understand at all."

Su Xi: “…”

How many times do I have to be humiliated tonight?

-

Qingyunzhai.

"Hey, why do you look so familiar?"

Yin Yun tried hard to focus and stared at Liu Zeyin's face.

Liu Zeyin: "..."

Yue Liuyun held back his laughter.

Maybe it's because he's your boss.

Liu Zeyin said simply, "Let's go."

"No, I'm not leaving yet!" Yin Yun held onto the wine jar tightly, "I want to... take this delicious wine back for that kid Liu Zeyin to drink."

That boy Liu Zeyin: "..."

Liu Zeyin was speechless: "I don't need it."

"Of course you don't need it, because this is for Liu Zeyin." Yin Yun stood up shakily, looked in Yue Liuyun's direction in a trance, and said with a chuckle, "Miss Yue, let me tell you in secret, Liu Zeyin really likes to cry..."

"Whenever he has something on his mind, he shuts himself up in his room without a word, doesn't even sleep, and just cries."

"At this time, if you give him some wine, he'll be quiet and sleep soundly..."

Yue Liuyun secretly glanced at Liu Zeyin.

Liu Zeyin: "..."

Liu Zeyin laughed angrily and said through gritted teeth, "Why bring up things from our childhood?"

Yin Yun said nothing.

After a long while, he muttered softly, "Because... because he's my only friend left, and his friend died. I'm afraid he'll be sad..."

Yue Liuyun's eyes were complicated and he sighed.

Liu Zeyun lowered his eyelashes, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, he slowly raised his hand and approached Yin Yun, and then...

With an expressionless face, he struck him with a decisive palm, knocking him unconscious.

Liu Zeyin carried Yin Yun like a sack and said to Yue Liuyun, "Let's go."

Yue Liuyun was stunned and nodded: "Oh, okay."

Lanterns outside Qingyunzhai swayed gently in the night breeze, casting dappled shadows. Melodious music played, accompanied by the clinking of cups.

A breeze blows across the rooftop, making you feel relaxed and happy, overlooking the lights of thousands of homes and the bustling streets.

"Your Majesty, the person has left." Jiang Wenjin said.

Nangong Mingzhu was wearing a light purple robe, with her long black hair tied up with a brocade ribbon of the same color. She leaned lightly on the chair with one hand resting on the armrest. Her posture was very casual, but revealed an elegance and nobility.

He said, "Yes, I saw it."

Jiang Wenjin walked over and sat down very naturally.

The starlight is as tiny as dust, far from the stunning stars in the human world.

"How does it feel to see an old friend?" asked Nangong Mingzhu.

The cheerfulness on Jiang Wenjin's face completely disappeared, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Although we are old friends, we have already parted ways and have different positions."

"But you are still unwilling to tell me what you know." Nangong Mingzhu said.

Jiang Wenjin shook his head and said softly, "This is the last thing I can do for my old friend. I hope... Your Majesty will forgive me."

"Don't worry, I won't blame you." Nangong Mingzhu said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The cool breeze gradually blew away Jiang Wenjin's annoyance. He seemed to remember something and suddenly asked curiously:

"Your Majesty, why did you ask me to rescue that girl? She is clearly... not on the same page as you."
