Ye Shuwen glared at her angrily, "Ye Qingyu, you're still being stubborn even at this point!"

Ye Qingyu sneered, "You two are a perfect match, a pair of idiots!"

"you!"

Lu Qianqian looked at her coldly, her eyes sinister and vicious. "Ye Qingyu, just keep talking tough. After tonight, when the news of you being abused gets out, I'll see how you can still be so arrogant!"

"You thought you were still that high-and-mighty daughter of a marquisate, but after tonight, you'll be nothing more than a slut who's been slept with by a beggar! Who in this capital would want a broken-down woman like you?"

Ye Qingyu smiled indifferently and looked at them coldly, "Oh, this is your plan, you two idiots!"

Ye Shuwen stepped forward angrily. "Ye Qingyu, you caused me to be stripped of my place in the imperial examination and my career has been ruined. If it weren't for you, I would have been on the list of candidates for this year's imperial examination. It's all because of you, bitch. Not killing you is a mercy to you. From now on, just enjoy what we have arranged for you."

As Ye Shuwen spoke, he took out a pill from his sleeve and forced Ye Qingyu to take it.

Lu Qianqian hurriedly stopped him, "What is this?"

Ye Shuwen looked at Ye Qingyu sinisterly, "This is a good thing I spent a lot of money to buy. It will definitely make her a slut!"

Lu Qianqian's face changed. "Are you stupid? You gave her this medicine, and you didn't expect her to enjoy it. You definitely wanted her to wake up and watch helplessly as she was abused by those filthy beggars. She cried out to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered. Haha, Ye Qingyu, just thinking about it makes me happy."

"This maid belongs to you!" Lu Qianqian pointed at Wanqiu and said to Ye Shuwen.

Ye Qingyu's calm expression suddenly turned cold and fierce, "Ye Shuwen, if you dare to touch a hair on Wanqiu's head, I will kill you!"

Ye Shuwen sneered, "You are very nice to your maid. Even if I make a move, what can you do?" As he said this, he wanted to walk towards Wanqiu.

There was fear in Wanqiu's eyes. Although she knew that someone was protecting her in the dark, she still couldn't help but feel afraid.

Lu Qianqian looked at Ye Qingyu proudly, "Come in, all of you. Tonight, she's yours!"

Ye Qingyu gritted her teeth, her voice was colder than ever before, "You are looking for death!"

"Anichi!"

"what!"

Ye Shuwen felt a black shadow suddenly flash before his eyes, and before he could react, he was kicked against the wall.

Before Lu Qianqian could react, she saw Ye Shuwen flying out.

She turned around and saw a man in black standing in front of Ye Qingyu with a sword in hand, and another man in black was untying Ye Qingyu.

"You, you actually have secret guards." Thinking of something, Lu Qianqian looked at Ye Qingyu in horror, "You knew it was me a long time ago, you stayed here on purpose!"

Ye Qingyu shook off the rope and laughed sarcastically, "So you are as stupid as a pig and you are seeking your own destruction!"

How could someone from a prominent family use such an obviously flawed method to kill someone? Only someone like Lu Qianqian would think that by hiring someone to kidnap someone, they could achieve their goal. Little did they know that this was the most unsafe method. As long as someone was kidnapped, it would be easy to find out who did it and the whereabouts of the kidnapped person.

What's more, generally, young masters and young ladies from aristocratic families are accompanied by guards, so the chances of success are very low. There are also secret guards following in the dark. People like Lu Qianqian who come from a small place naturally don't understand the methods of the aristocratic families, so they think that finding a few people and kidnapping someone is a very clever method.

Lu Qianqian looked at Ye Shuwen who had fainted. Her face was pale and slumped on the ground. She was so scared that she fainted.

She has no guards, so how can she deal with the secret guards around Ye Qingyu?

At this moment, the door of the dilapidated temple was opened. Ye Qingyu looked up and saw, in the dim firelight, that Shen Yanli's handsome face showed an anxiety and worry that she had never seen before.

"Your Highness, Prince Chu, why are you here?"

Shen Yanli went up to her and looked her up and down. Seeing that she was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay."

Ye Qingyu knew that he was worried about her, and looked at him with a smile, "How could these two idiots really hurt me? Please, Your Highness, come and rescue me."

Shen Yanli looked at the two people who had fainted on the ground, his dark eyes flashing with murderous intent. "How do you want to deal with them?"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Give them a beating. They have to pay for their stupidity. I still have great use for them."

Shen Yanli nodded, "I'll listen to you."

"It's getting late and the city gates are closed. Come stay at my farm outside the city for the night."

Ye Qingyu nodded.

Shen Yanli looked at her steadily and said, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to inform the Duke's Mansion and have them send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to inform you that you will be staying there for a few days."

Ye Qingyu didn't expect him to be so thoughtful. She smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Your Highness."

Shen Yanli handed the cloak in his hand over, and Ye Qingyu took it without any hesitation. Wanqiu came over and put it on her.

The two men left the ruined temple one after the other.

Shen Yanli's voice was as cold as ice. "Jiangbei, kill all those beggars. Don't spare a single one."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

After staying outside the city for one night, as soon as the city gate opened, the two returned to the city and went to the Duke's Mansion.

The front hall of the Duke's Mansion was full of people at dawn, and the Duke sat in the main seat with a sullen face.

There was a dark tint under Xu's eyes, and it was obvious that she hadn't slept all night, and her face was full of worry.

"Is the city gate open?"

Last night, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu left the city in a hurry and sent someone to pass on a message that made the people in the Duke's Mansion worry all night.

"Madam, the city gate is open."

"Okay, okay, have you seen the carriage from Prince Chu's palace?"

"To Madam San, I haven't seen it yet."

Xu waved her hand in disappointment, "You go guard the gate first."

The servants withdrew, and Gu Huaizhi comforted them gently, "Grandfather, Mother, don't worry. Since His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has said so, he can naturally rescue my cousin."

Gu Yuanchen's face was filled with rage. "Let me know who did this, or I'll skin him alive!"

The Duke's voice was hoarse. "Alright, this matter cannot be known to outsiders, otherwise Qingyu's reputation will be damaged."

Everyone nodded. Xu thought for a moment, "Does His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu have a good relationship with Qingyu?" She looked at her son and asked.

Gu Huaizhi was slightly stunned and looked away in a panic, "It should be that my cousin was rescued by His Highness that time. The two of them got to know each other better."

Xu frowned and sighed, "Alas, Qingyu and His Highness, a single man and a single woman, this..."

The Duke's brow furrowed even deeper.

If this matter were to become known and rumors were to spread, Qingyu would have no choice but to marry His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. But the Prince of Chu's legs...

"Duke, Madam, Young Master, and Miss Cousin are here. They are at the west gate."

Everyone's expressions brightened, "Quick, go and greet them!"

Not long after walking, they saw Ye Qingyu walking slowly towards them, with Shen Yanli being pushed by Jiang Bei beside her. Ye Qingyu was slightly lowering her body and leaning sideways, as if she was listening to Shen Yanli talking.
