The high walls on either side of the alley were mottled and old, moss growing between the bricks and stones, and the air was filled with a damp, stale smell. Occasionally, a breeze blew, causing the spider webs hanging from the corners of the walls to sway slightly, and a few dead leaves rolled and tumbled on the ground.

He turned around and said with a sly smile, "Girl, you've followed me all the way here, what do you want to do?"

Cui Yu stared at the man in front of her. He was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, his hair tied up with a jade crown, he had handsome eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and when he smiled, two shallow dimples appeared on his face, giving him the frivolous temperament of a playboy.

The painting seller was right. The painting only showed 30% of his colors.

Cui Yu narrowed her eyes, thinking that her tracking skills were pretty good. She immediately affirmed Xu Yanchuan: "Mr. Xu has a good eye. He even noticed this."

"Hey girl, you followed me from the beginning to the end of the street, how could I not notice you? And the other two people, don't hide, there's no one else here, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, two big men jumped out from the high walls on both sides.

Seeing the two men coming in aggressively, Xu Yanchuan sighed helplessly and asked, "Which department sent you?"

Cui Yu frowned, completely confused as to what he was talking about. "What do you mean by 'a few rooms'? I am the personal maid of Jiang Yingxue, the daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

"Someone from the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion? That's not right..." This time it was Xu Yanchuan's turn to be puzzled. After all, he had no connection with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion at all, so the other party shouldn't send assassins to kill him.

"What do you want to do?"

Cui Yu smiled evilly and said, "Master Xu, my lady has something to invite you to, and she wants you to come to her house for a gathering."

"Oh, the most beautiful woman in Yun Country invited me to her home? What a temptation." Xu Yanchuan raised his chin: "But what if I don't go?"

Cui Yu frowned and said, "You naughty dandy! You're the first man to reject my young lady. Since you don't want to go, don't blame us for forcing you!"

After saying that, Cui Yu waved her hand, and two big men rushed forward with sacks, put the man in a sack, and then took out a hemp rope to tie Xu Yanchuan up.

With his limited skills, Xu Yanchuan could easily deal with them. However, he was really curious about what these people were up to, so he struggled a few times to follow their will: "What are you trying to do! How dare you kidnap a man in broad daylight!"

Cui Yu said disdainfully, "I'll rob you if you want. Do I need to choose a day to rob a little playboy? Take him away! Don't spoil my young lady's mood!"

"Yes!"

--

In order to hide from others, Cui Yu and her companions took a shortcut and climbed over the wall to enter.

After a while, Xu Yanchuan was sent to Jiang Yingxue's room.

The linen was torn open, and inside the boudoir, the gauze curtains hung lightly, and a light and elegant fragrance lingered in the air.

On the soft couch, a beautiful woman was gently waving a round fan, looking at him carefully with her chin raised. The beauty had a very beautiful complexion, like a spring peach,

His eyes were dazzling, with a hint of stubbornness and arrogance.

After inspecting the goods, Jiang Yingxue ordered, "Cui Yu, go down and guard outside the yard. Don't let anyone in."

"Yes."

After the door was closed again, Jiang Yingxue said to Xu Yanchuan, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry. It's really impolite to grab you in such a rough way."

Xu Yanchuan's eyes lit up and he smiled, "It's okay. Being captured by Jiang Yingxue, the most beautiful woman in Yun Country, is an honor. After all, there are so many men who want to enter the Marquis' Mansion but can't."

"Yes, it seems that Master Xu is very good at judging the situation."

These words made Xu Yanchuan even more curious. He and Jiang Yingxue had no connection at all, and he really couldn't imagine why Jiang Yingxue would tie him up.

"Tell me, what did you arrest me for?"

"Of course, it's about doing what Master Xu does best."

Xu Yanchuan was very puzzled when he heard this: "I am just a playboy in the capital. Every day I am either in Yihong Courtyard or in the gambling house. How can I be good at anything?"

Jiang Yingxue immediately responded, "Because you're a playboy, you're good at making girls happy."

"So, Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you that you want me to comfort you?" Xu Yanchuan's face was a little hesitant. "Everyone in the capital knows that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are a perfect match. It's not appropriate for me to comfort you."

Jiang Yingxue waved her fan and said calmly, "Those are just rumors. The Crown Prince and I don't have a real engagement, so it can't be counted. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I only have two months left to live."

"Then why are you arresting the doctor? I can't treat patients."

Jiang Yingxue tutted impatiently, "If I hadn't seen a doctor, how would I know I only had two months to live? I won't say any more nonsense to you. Just sleep with me and the money will be yours."

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue opened a box and saw a few gold bars inside, which was enough to support the top performer in Yihongyuan for a month.

Xu Yanchuan's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Because you only have two months left to live, you gave up on yourself and want me to sleep with you?"

"That's nothing to be surprised about. Aren't you a dandy and experienced? And you look just the way I like you."

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue stood up, walked in front of Xu Yanchuan, and gently lifted his chin with her round fan: "I don't have any requirements. You decide the posture, movements, and content. I will fully cooperate. As long as I feel comfortable, that's all."

Jiang Yingxue's words were like a bolt of lightning. He really couldn't imagine that a young lady from an aristocratic family, the most noble and pure white lotus in the eyes of everyone in Yun Kingdom, would say such shamelessly.

After a while, Xu Yanchuan turned his face away with an inexplicable expression: "Miss Jiang, please stop joking like that."

"I'm not kidding. I'm about to die, and you're not even allowed to enjoy life while I can? Or is your dandyism all just an act, and you're not capable of anything at all?"

When Xu Yanchuan heard this, the corners of his eyes slightly raised, his eyebrows half-raised, his chin held high, and his voice was a little nervous: "Don't talk nonsense, how could I not be able to do it. But I am the son of the Prime Minister, and I was forcibly captured and sacrificed by a weak woman. If this gets out, what will others think of me? You don't want fame, but I do."

Jiang Yingxue sneered: "What a joke! What kind of reputation do you, a playboy, need? Besides, what happened today is only known to you, me, and my maid. Who dares to spread it..."

After saying that, Jiang Yingxue made a gesture of wiping her neck as a threat: "I will kill whoever it is."

Xu Yanchuan: ???

Is this person before me really the legendary Miss Jiang, the gentlest and kindest lady in Yun Country, who wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death and is as pure and beautiful as a white lotus?

It seems Miss Jiang is very good at pretending...

Xu Yanchuan sighed and was about to say something when the door was suddenly pushed open.

Jiang Yingxue quickly stood up upon seeing this. She looked at the person at the door and said in a trembling voice, "Dad... why are you here?"
