Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

The man saw that he was fine, with his sword, purse, and golden mask lying beside him, and he felt secretly relieved, thinking that he had not fallen into the hands of the enemy.

"Where is this place?"

"Duke Li's Mansion." Xie Jinglan turned around as she spoke. "You were seriously injured last night. If I hadn't saved you, you would be dead now. I must repay you for saving my life. How would you like to thank me?"

The man had a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes. Although his eyes were full of vigilance, there was a bit of unintentional charm in his eyes, which seemed to be able to captivate people's souls.

"It's you?" The man was a little surprised when he saw her face.

"Do you know me?" Xie Jinglan was also surprised. Could he be a young master from some family?

But she knew almost all the noblemen in Shengjing, so how come she had never seen this person before?

This person is so outstanding in appearance, especially his enchanting peach blossom eyes, which seem to contain endless affection and charm. Even if you only see him once, you will never forget him.

A complex expression flashed across the man's eyes. "Xie Jinglan, the daughter of Duke Li and the fiancée of Prince Mu, is incredibly famous. Who in Shengjing doesn't recognize her?"

"Don't mention that scumbag. I won't marry him." Xie Jinglan felt angry when she heard Beitang Hong mentioned.

"Oh?" The man's eyes became interested.

"Don't interrupt me, tell me about your story first! I saved your life, how do you want to thank me?" Xie Jinglan wanted to negotiate terms with him and then use him for her own benefit.

"Then what do you want?" The man's eyes flashed with cunning, and he handed her the purse. "I'm very poor, and all my wealth is here."

Xie Jinglan took the purse and opened it, seeing two 100-liang silver notes inside. "A mere 200 liang of silver, and you think you can repay me for saving my life?"

"But I'm alone, and this is all the money I have. I'll give it all to you." The man spread his hands and sat back on the small bed, looking helpless.

"You can repay me in other ways." Xie Jinglan looked him up and down.

He is alone and has such good martial arts skills, so it's just right to recruit him as my bodyguard.

Seeing her aggressive gaze, the man felt a chill down his spine and quickly straightened his clothes, "I'm not selling my body."

"Haha!" Seeing his defensive look, Xie Jinglan's mood suddenly brightened.

"Young Master, you are a beautiful man. If you were sold to Nanfeng Gong, you would definitely be the most popular courtesan. But I am kind and I will not send you to such a place. Just stay with me."

"No, you already have a fiancé." The man was shocked. It was the first time he met such a bold woman.

Seeing her approaching him step by step, he retreated to the head of the couch, "What are you going to do..."

"I don't want that scumbag anymore. I want you." Xie Jinglan suddenly leaned over and pressed the man under her, supporting her hands on both sides of his body.

The man opened his eyes wide as if struck by lightning. His pupils were as bright and dazzling as stars, adding a bit of charming charm and lively spirit.

"Men and women should not touch each other, you can't..."

"I've seen and touched your body. It's too late to say now that there shouldn't be physical contact between men and women." Xie Jinglan ripped off his belt, and his clothes fell apart, revealing his muscular chest and his well-defined mermaid line.

Last night, she cast a spell to help the man suppress the curse, and many of the black threads have disappeared, leaving only a piece on his heart.

"You have been cursed by a hundred poisons. If you follow me, I can help you break the curse." Her fingers drew circles on the man's heart.

"You actually know the Hundred Poisons Heart Corrosion Curse?" The man's eyes suddenly became fierce. "Do you know magic?"

In Shengjing, everyone knows that Xie Jinglan is a loser, but now she can suppress the curse in his body!

It seems that this woman is very capable.

"What else? Do you think you can still sit here and talk to me?" Xie Jinglan stood up and looked down at him. "Your condition is already very serious. If you don't find a solution, you will go completely crazy within a year."

"Can you really break the curse of a hundred poisons?" The man's deep eyes were full of inquiry.

"I helped you suppress the curse last night. The poison won't take effect for at least a month. You should be able to feel it." Xie Jinglan felt a little impatient. If she didn't need help, she would not bother to explain so much nonsense.

"Then what exactly do you want me to do?" The man's expression became serious.

"I need help. Be my guard for a year and do whatever I want. I'll help you break the curse." Xie Jinglan stated her purpose. "One year in exchange for your life is a good deal."

"Okay." The man agreed to her.

At this moment, Minglian's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, the Duke has sent someone to tell you to go to the front hall."

Are you here now? Xie Jinglan sneered, "I know."

It's time to meet that family of jackals.

"You will stay in this room to recuperate for the time being. If you need anything, just tell them." She instructed the man and was about to leave.

"Wait." The man stood up, straightened his clothes, and put on the golden mask. "Since I'm your bodyguard, I'll go with you."

"Okay." Let him go with you and learn about the situation in this mansion.

Xie Jinglan put her hands behind her back and pulled out a silver mask like a magic trick, "Put this on, yours is too eye-catching."

The man hesitated, put down the golden mask, took hers and put it on.

The two people left Yuelan Courtyard and went to the front yard.

"What's your name?" After saying so much, she still didn't know the man's name?

"A Yuan, that's what my parents have called me since I was a child." The man gave his name.

"Your name is A Yuan, right? Let me tell you something first. In this Duke Li's Mansion, only my grandmother, my younger brother Xie Yuanqing and I are the masters. Others are nothing and have no right to control you." Xie Jinglan told him some things in the mansion as they walked.

"Yes."

When I walked into the lobby in the front yard, I saw Beitang Hong coming and sitting in the main seat with Xie Ruyan standing next to him.

Lin Yuansheng, Xie Gao and the Yi couple, and Xie Ruyan's twin brother Xie Tianci were all there.

Lin Yuansheng was fifty-seven years old, with an elegant face, a short beard, and court robes, looking very majestic. In her previous life, she was most afraid of him.

Seeing this so-called grandfather, Xie Jinglan felt a surge of hatred surging in her chest.

The current emperor has been bewitched by the evildoers and is obsessed with alchemy, hoping to achieve immortality.

But the opposite happened and his health got worse and worse.

Not long after her death, the emperor suddenly fell ill and no medicine could cure him. The evil Taoist priest absconded with the money.

Xie Ruyan, who was already the principal wife of Prince Mu at that time, took the opportunity to say that they had found a pure yang body that was rare in a century, and his heart was the best medicine. She also vowed to guarantee that her condition could improve His Majesty's condition.

People who are on the verge of death have a strong desire to survive.
