Sang Wan's eyes were poisonous.

She's on a pirate ship.

The incense burns quietly, getting shorter and shorter.

Sang Wan stared at the teacup, was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes:

"Sir, your words are trustworthy. If I choose to live, will you let me go?"

Her starry eyes were clear and cunning.

What beautiful eyes.

Pei Jinzhi retracted his gaze, avoided her sight, and cleared his cough: "Of course."

Sang Wan took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll choose."

"Sir, two cups of tea mean either life or death, isn't that right?"

Pei Jinzhi groaned and said nothing.

Sang Wan lifted the wide cuffs of her wedding gown with her left hand, revealing a piece of her delicate arm; the fingertips of her right hand, as thin as scallions, tapped lightly back and forth between the two tea cups, her brows furrowed.

Li Jiu was impatient and drew his sword to urge:

"This isn't a job for a husband, so please don't waste time."

Sang Wan raised her eyes and smiled slightly, looking at Li Jiu:

"Which one does this brother think will live and which one will die?"

Li Jiu was impatient and scolded in a rough voice:

"Whichever one you choose, how would I know?"

"Then brother picks one and the rest are mine, okay?"

Sang Wan kept calling Li Jiu "brother" left and right, and her voice was so sweet that Li Jiu lost his temper.

Pei Jinzhi raised his eyes slightly and frowned.

Seeing that his master was unhappy, Li Jiu swiped his hand and pushed a teacup in front of him:

"Is that all right now? The remaining one is yours."

Sang Wan nodded and clasped her teacup with both hands, "Brother, lift up the teacup and see what the words are."

Pei Jinzhi's brow twitched imperceptibly.

Li Jiu casually opened the teacup and took out the paper. Under the light, he saw the word "death".

His smile froze. "Master..."

Idiot. Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows, half-smiling:

"Miss, why don't you lift up your teacup and take a look too."

Sang Wan's dimples deepened. "Sir, since this brother's teacup has the word 'death' on it, my teacup must have the word 'life' on it. Why bother looking?"

Damn thing.

Do you think I don't know you wrote two deaths?

You want to cheat me? No way.

Sang Wan spat in her heart.

"Hey, girl, you'd better unfold it and take a look."

Pei Jinzhi insisted with a faint smile.

Sang Wan smiled deeply, opened the teacup, and stuffed the note into his mouth in a flash.

Li Jiu couldn't catch her in time, so he rushed over and pressed her down on the table, trying to pick out the note from her mouth:

"Spit it out."

Sang Wan swallowed the food and breathed a sigh of relief.

She raised her eyes and looked at Pei Jinzhi provocatively:

"Alive, in my belly."

Pei Jinzhi's smile did not reach his eyes, and he clapped his hands:

"Okay, a gentleman's words should not be taken lightly. Send Miss Sang back to shore."

Sang Wan was stunned: "I didn't say I wanted to go back to shore!"

The Hua family's wedding procession was still waiting on the shore! If she went back, she would be walking into a trap.

"Miss Sang, but you don't want to get off my boat?"

Pei Jinzhi pretended not to understand.

"Sir, you said you would let me go."

"I'm releasing you and sending you back to shore. I'm honest with you."

"You know I can't go back to the shore, and the Hua family's people are still guarding me."

"What does the Hua family have to do with me?" Pei Jinzhi raised his eyebrows.

"But the Hua family has nothing to do with me! They will capture me and force me to be their concubine."

"What does it have to do with me if you become my concubine?"

"You..." Sang Wan was so angry that he vomited blood.

Brother Luochuan always says, "A gentleman repays evil with virtue, while a villain repays good with evil." Today, she finally witnessed it.

Bah! Villain! Dog!

He looks like a human but is full of bad intentions.

Sang Wan went through all the curse words he could think of in his mind.

The pleasure boat docked silently.

The shore was bustling with people.

The voices of matchmaker and the Hua family's steward could be vaguely heard, and Sang Wan broke out in a cold sweat.

She knelt straight down.

The misty eyes had completely lost their liveliness.

Panicked and pitiful.

...I feel pity for him.

Pei Jinzhi looked at her, and it seemed as if he saw the shadow of another person through her.

"Sir, save me!"

"You and I are even now. If I save you, what can you use to repay me for saving your life?" Pei Jinzhi lowered his eyes.

"My lord is so noble, I am absolutely unworthy of your love. I am willing to serve you like a slave, to do whatever you want. If you need me, Sang Wan, I will be willing to die for you."

Real feelings, tears in my eyes.

He is a human being, he must be touched, huh!

...Unfortunately, he is not human.

"You are unworthy of me."

Sang Wan lowered her head dejectedly. All her words were in vain.

"But if you work like a slave, I think you still have a chance."

"Ah?" Sang Wan looked up suddenly. Is there a way to survive?

"This is a contract of sale. Sign it and become a slave in the mansion. The Hua family will naturally not dare to make things difficult for you."

Sang Wan's heart shuddered. Become a slave?

Wouldn't that be even more degrading than being a concubine?

Killing people and destroying their hearts!

"Sir, although my family is poor, I will not be a concubine, let alone a slave. If you insult me ​​like this, you might as well kill me with a knife."

Once you become a slave, your life or death depends entirely on the master's will, and there is no turning back.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. Sang Wan closed his eyes.

I've been playing tricks on her all night, she's not a dog.

Li Jiu's sword was unsheathed again, and the sound of metal scraping against each other was creepy.

Pei Jinzhi looked at her with a deep gaze.

He would rather break than bend, which shows a bit of pride.

"Death is easy; life is hard. You said you could be of great use, so risk your life. If you can remove the toxins from my body within seven days, I'll return your indenture. If not..."

Sang Wan slowly opened her eyes and met his eyes.

His eyes were like black holes, swallowing everything and were very creepy.

Pei Jinzhi smiled at her, his white teeth shining:

"The Pei family doesn't keep useless people. See? This is the result."

Sang Wan followed Pei Jinzhi's gaze and her eyes fell on the female corpse again.

The woman was wearing a maid's outfit with white sleeves and a blue jacket.

She is Pei Jinzhi's maid!

Kill her, just because she's useless? !

Sang Wan shuddered.

He is not a human being, he is a devil.

"You can't just get on or off my boat whenever you want."

Pei Jinzhi stared at her with a playful look in his eyes.

The candlelight flickered on his face, making him look like a ghost.

Sang Wan wished she could bite off her tongue.

She blamed herself, insisting on saying that she had done a great job in helping him detoxify; well, now she had shot herself in the foot.

The remaining poison will be cured within seven days. Is he kidding?

Li Jiu deliberately pulled the sword back and forth in the scabbard, and the sound of metal friction stimulated Sang Wan's nerves.

Her eyebrows trembled involuntarily.

"Young lady, whether you will sign or not, just give me a straight answer."

I can't go to the Hua family, there is no turning back as a concubine;

She couldn't go back home either, because her brother and sister-in-law sold her out once and then sold her out twice;

Tianshengtang was even worse, as it was Madam Cheng who tricked her into getting on the pleasure boat.

Madam Cheng harmed me. Why?

Sang Wan felt chilled to the bone and all over.

Pei Jinzhi became her only lifeline.

She bit her finger and pressed her fingerprint on the contract:

"sign."
