He was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He never expected that the seemingly foolish dude could actually have such a method?

Zhan Yan glared at him with a mocking expression, "Is that all you've got? Go back and tell your Second Miss that inviting me for tea isn't easy, and that you'll have to at least offer me the best shop on the main street in Liuli City before I'll do you the favor!"

The onlookers were all stunned. Is this man stupid?

Where did he get the courage to negotiate with the second young lady of the Ning family? Not to mention that her brother-in-law was the general protecting the city of Liuli City, just talking about the power of the Ning family, no one could afford to offend.

It is said that they have countless guards, and even the group of bandits around Liuli City obey their orders. It can be said that if you are targeted by the Ning family, you will never be able to escape from the territory of Liuli City even if you have wings.

But Zhan Yan seemed to have no fear at all, and still sat calmly on the tall horse.

Even the smile became wider!

Many of the onlookers couldn't help but shake their heads helplessly: "He's really a newborn calf who's not afraid of a tiger. He's provoking Miss Ning like this, I'm afraid he won't end up well!"

Everyone echoed, "That's right. If he had let go and begged for mercy, he might have had a chance of survival. But now, I'm afraid he's in big trouble!"

Sure enough, I heard the strong man grit his teeth and say, "Okay, you wait!"

He limped back to the carriage, and after a moment, he walked back again in dejection.

He tried his best to suppress the anger in his throat and said, "Our Second Young Lady said that you can choose any shop on the street in Liuli City. If you like it, we will give it to you. So, are you willing to do me a favor?"

Zhan Yan snapped his hands and fanned himself: "Very good, deal!"

He jumped off the horse swiftly and threw the reins to Yingyi beside him.

He walked to the side of Miss Ning's carriage with a square step and said calmly, "Xiao Rui, the jeweler of the capital, greets Miss Ning!"

The carriage door opened and a pretty maid put down the footstool.

Zhan Yan walked up slowly, turned to look at the onlookers and said, "Now that you've seen enough fun, please disperse. lest you anger Miss Ning and have her bring you to justice!"

No one understood what it meant, but the weak scholar who was almost kidnapped before knew it.

He immediately supported his wife and turned around to leave quickly, not daring to delay for even a moment.

After making sure that they were all far away, Zhan Yan calmly got into the carriage.

Don’t be fooled by its insignificant appearance, there is a whole new world inside.

Wow, not only is there a luxurious and comfortable couch, but there is also an extremely exquisite bronze mirror.

The burning incense next to it, coupled with the warm charcoal fire, makes people feel that there is an inexplicable desire rising in the car, making people want to indulge in it.

Zhan Yan opened his fan again and blew it gently, saying, "Second Miss Ning, I wonder if you are satisfied with Xiao's face?"

Ning Mingzhu, who was looking him up and down with her chin propped up, suddenly laughed: "Satisfied. Besides, the clothes that Young Master Xiao is wearing are also very eye-catching. In our Liuli City, there is really no other one like it!"

Zhan Yan sat calmly on the futon opposite her and said calmly, "Clothes are just decorations to set off your appearance. As long as you are good-looking, even if you wear a straw raincoat, people can't take their eyes off you!"

Miss Ning raised her lips and said, "I wonder if Master Xiao has taken off his clothes?"

Even Zhan Yan couldn't help but feel his expression stiffen slightly after hearing such bold words.

He asked doubtfully: "You want me to take it off now?"

Ning Mingzhu smiled with her eyes curved. "Look how scared you are! Even if I, Ning Mingzhu, were in dire need of a man, I wouldn't be so anxious. Let's have some tea first. This is the first tea we just picked from the tea mountain. It's so fresh and fragrant. Come and try it!"

She reached out to pour tea, revealing her white wrist, which was truly delicate and beautiful.

Noticing Zhan Yan's undisguised gaze, Ning Mingzhu pushed the tea away from him and couldn't help but tease, "What's the matter? Young Master Xiao's eyes seem to be glued to me. Are you attracted to me too?"

He lowered his head and took a sip of tea. "Who wouldn't like to look at a beautiful woman? Those who say they don't like to look at her are all hypocritical!"

Ning Mingzhu looked at him in astonishment, then laughed again after a moment: "You are quite honest. I, Ning Mingzhu, haven't seen such an interesting young man in many years!"

Zhan Yan said, "If you like to hear it, I'll say more. Miss Ning's tea is not bad, but if it didn't contain drugs, it would taste even better!"

A strange look suddenly flashed across Ning Mingzhu's charming little face. She didn't expect that he could actually taste the medicine she had put in it.

Then he dares to drink?

She put away her smile and asked, "Since you already knew the drug was put in, why did you still drink it?"

Zhan Yan replied slowly, "Because I'm not afraid. I've been doing business outside for many years, and I've developed a sharp tongue. Don't say that this little bit of drug has no effect on me. Even if you replace it with poison, I can withstand it longer than an ordinary person!"

Ning Mingzhu couldn't help but say, "You've actually managed to pique my interest. How about this? Follow me back to the Ning Mansion. You should know exactly what I'm going to do by robbing someone. As long as we get through this night, I'll make sure your jewelry shop opens successfully tomorrow!"

This is exactly what Zhan Yan was waiting for: How can you get a tiger cub by venturing into a tiger's den?

If he can't capture Miss Ning, how can he find out where Chen Mingfeng's mother is hiding?

Who knows, the Ning Mansion might be the key to breaking the impasse!

He said calmly, "Okay, I can go back with the Second Miss, but you have to keep your word. I can't give in vain!"

Ning Mingzhu raised her hand to pinch his face, but he dodged it without leaving a trace.

She was immediately displeased: "You, you are almost mine, why can't I touch your face?"

Zhan Yan acted shy and said, "I used to be the one touching other people's faces, but no one has ever dared to touch mine. It was a subconscious reaction. I hope Second Miss won't mind!"

Ning Mingzhu thought that she couldn't scare him, otherwise what would happen if he changed his mind?

Next, she was very polite and asked him about some business matters.

He also talked about what kind of jewelry and clothing styles are popular in the capital now.

He said it all calmly!

The carriage quickly returned to Ning Mansion, and Zhan Yan was blindfolded and taken to a secluded courtyard.

When he regained his sight, he saw three handsome men in gauze clothes standing in front of him. Not only did they all have extraordinary looks, they even looked very similar.

One of them spoke first: "Master Xiao, let me help you bathe, okay?"

Zhan Yan immediately got goosebumps all over his body. Having a man help him bathe was even more painful than killing him!

He quickly grabbed the clothes from his tray and said, "No, no, I can do it myself!"

The man bowed his head respectfully and said, "Master, you can use me as you wish. I'm Dog One, and the other two are Dog Two and Dog Three!"

A cold look rose in Zhan Yan's eyes. This Second Miss Ning really knows how to come up with names.
