Wen Lang glanced at Yu Shuyan, who was leaving with Zhou Ruifen. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes:

What an idiot! He's so arrogant. Someone shows him a little kindness and he's already following them around. He'll be sold out and still be counting the money for the seller.

But it's good that they taught her a lesson.

To prevent her from being so arrogant and ignorant as she is now.

Then, he picked up his wine glass and, seemingly casually, glanced again at the garden entrance.

In those eyes, there flickered an expectation, yet also a chilling light.

~~~~~~

Yu Shuyan walked quickly into the backyard.

Along the way, she pretended to be an ignorant woman, looking around in awe of the magnificence of the Prime Minister's mansion.

He occasionally let out surprised gasps:

"Oh my, this place is so beautiful."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is indeed the Prime Minister's residence, a place above the emperor and second only to ten thousand others. It's truly an eye-opener, an eye-opener indeed."

Following behind her were Zhou Ruifen and Wang Ziyue, their eyes filled with disdain, mockery, and coldness, yet their faces still forced smiles.

The two men followed behind her, their eyes constantly glancing around, as if searching for something.

"Hey, don't you guys know the way?"

Yu Shuyan suddenly stopped, turned around to look at the two of them, and asked with a smile, feigning ignorance.

The two were startled, clearly not expecting her to ask such a question all of a sudden.

Then, the two looked at each other and shook their heads with smiles.

Wang Ziyue was the first to react and laughed:

“How could we not know the way? We’ve been to Miss Situ’s peach blossom grove many times. Don’t worry, just follow us.”

Yu Shuyan, however, said:

"Yes, we know each other. What are you looking around for?"

"Anyone who didn't know better would think you were plotting something bad to harm me."

The two were startled, and anxiety flashed in their eyes:

We mustn't let her find out anything.

If she runs away, ruining Situ Yue's plans, then the fate of the two of them is truly unimaginable.

Zhou Ruifen was so nervous that she stammered:

"I hurt you, I...we, how could we...how could this happen! We...we..."

The more anxious she became, the less excuse she could find.

Wang Ziyue pushed her away in disgust and looked at Yu Shuyan with a smile:

"We're just looking around, hoping there's somewhere we can recommend to you. After all, the beauty of the Prime Minister's residence isn't limited to just the peach blossom grove."

Yu Shuyan raised an eyebrow:

"really?"

Zhou Ruifen was busy, and smiled as she echoed:

"Really, of course it's true."

Just then, the two noticed out of the corner of their eyes that Qiqiao pointed to a small courtyard not far away. Then, they turned and left.

Wang Ziyue's eyes flickered slightly, and then she continued:

"Oh, right, look, there's a cherry blossom tree in that courtyard over there, a rare sight in Dayong. It's incredibly beautiful, let's go take a look together."

Zhou Ruifen paused for a moment, then met Wang Ziyue's urging gaze, quickly realized what she meant, and nodded hastily:

"Yes, yes, it's so beautiful, let's go take a look."

They practically had "We're plotting something" written all over their faces.

Yu Shuyan sneered inwardly:

If it weren't for her concern for Bai Ziyu, she really would have liked to tease those two women.

However, on his face, he pretended to hesitate for a moment before nodding and saying:

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

Both Zhou Ruifen and her companion unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Ruifen quickened her pace and led the way, while Wang Ziyue followed closely behind Yu Shuyan, as if afraid that Yu Shuyan would run away.

Yu Shuyan sensed the tension between the two, and a chill settled over her.

They were really impatient to know what they wanted to do to her.

The three of them entered the courtyard, and Wang Ziyue immediately closed the gate and bolted it shut.

Zhou Ruifen frowned and looked at her:

"What are you doing? Didn't we say we'd bring her in, then leave immediately and lock the door from the outside? Why did you lock it from the inside?"

Wang Ziyue sneered:

"Don't you want to see with your own eyes what happens to this bitch? She's done so much harm to us, don't you want to vent your anger?"

Zhou Ruifen realized what was happening and immediately snorted coldly, clearly disliking Wang Ziyue.

However, her suggestion resonated deeply with her.

After all, she currently dislikes Wang Ziyue. However, she dislikes Yu Shuyan even more.

"What do you want to do?"

Yu Shuyan watched the two of them quietly.

The two were quite pleased with themselves, but they failed to notice Yu Shuyan's indifferent and unperturbed attitude.

Wang Ziyue snorted coldly:

"Madam Wen, you don't really think that a peasant woman like you can offend us noble ladies and leave unscathed, do you?"

Zhou Ruifen's face was flushed with resentment and smugness:

"Why waste your breath on her? She's such a slut and an idiot. She doesn't deserve to talk to us."

Then, he shouted into the courtyard:

"Where are you all? What are you waiting for? Come out now!"

As soon as she finished speaking, three or four ugly, fat men, shirtless, rushed out of the house.

One of them, a man with a large mole on the corner of his mouth, leered at the three of them, his eyes scanning them up and down, and said with a lascivious smile:

"Tsk tsk tsk, the young lady really spoils us. She sent over three this time, which is unprecedented. Brothers, we're in for some fun today."

The others, leering and echoing, continued:

"Yeah, yeah, before we were playing one by one, and we'd die before we could even play properly. It was so boring. Today there are three, we can have some real fun!"

"Brothers, what do you think? Should we play one by one, or should we each pick one?"

"One for each of us isn't enough. How about this: the one with the woman's hair in a bun should be able to take a lot of playing, so we'll have two of them. The rest, one for each of us, is just right, how about that!"

"Good idea, let's take turns playing."

······

Their vulgar and filthy words made Zhou Ruifen and Wang Ziyue turn pale.

Zhou Ruifen cursed:

"How dare you treat us like this! The person you're after is her!"

As he spoke, he pointed at Yu Shuyan and then continued:

"We are daughters of officials, and we work for Miss Situ. Let's go now!"

As he spoke, he turned and rushed toward the door, trying to push Wang Ziyue aside and run out quickly.

However, Wang Ziyue suddenly pushed her to the ground.

Then, a sinister smile crept across his lips as he glanced mockingly at Wang Ziyue lying on the ground. He unlatched the door, opened it, and rushed out.

He didn't forget to turn around and lock both of them inside the door.

Zhou Ruifen's eyes widened in fury as she roared:

"Wang Ziyue, how dare you! You come back here!"

However, Wang Ziyue's smile widened even further. Her hand moved even faster as she closed the door.

"Little sister, I'm scared! I'm terrified! I can't open the door. Don't be so selfish and try to put me in danger too!"

His voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement and malice!
