Bai Jianan scoffed at this blatant act of selling his daughter, but right now, this woman was the one he loved, so he was naturally happy to watch Jian Yue and see what she would do.

Jian Yue lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, gently caressing Bai Jianan's heart. She curtsied to Bai Jianan, her eyes slightly raised, revealing a shy smile, and said softly with a hint of timidity, "Lingxiu greets Your Highness. I hope Your Highness is well. It was my fault for keeping Your Highness waiting. Please do not blame me."

The heir of the Marquis of Qingyan was wearing a mask, so his face couldn't be seen. Was he really ugly, or was it a fake?

Her slender, graceful figure, coupled with her heavenly voice, ignited a fire in Bai Jianan's heart. His eyes darkened, and he immediately stood up, concealing the awkwardness emanating from his body.

That damn little vixen, I never expected her to be so changeable. In front of him, she was that alluring and seductive woman who made people itch with desire, but now she seemed like a delicate swallowtail butterfly that was fragile and needed to be cherished.

So, do you have any other appearances?

Bai Jianan, itching to make a move, walked straight to Jian Yue's side, reached out and lightly lifted her chin, lowered his eyes and brought them close to her face, his gaze seeming as if he wanted to devour her.

"You are a beautiful woman, no wonder Lord Qiu praised you so highly."

Jian Yue cursed him inwardly as a rogue, but her face flushed slightly with embarrassment. She took a step back, trying to avoid his hand, but Bai Jianan suddenly tightened his grip, holding her chin firmly so that she couldn't break free. She felt a surge of anger.

She rubbed the silk handkerchief in her hand, her eyes filled with fear, and said tremblingly, "Young Master, please calm down. It was my fault, I know I was wrong."

She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice, and her eyelashes were glistening with tears.

Qiu Zhenzhou was stunned. He thought that Bai Jianan was angry because Jian Yue was late. Thinking that he could not offend the young master, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Young master, He Xiaonv is ignorant. Please be magnanimous and do not blame her."

Bai Jianan was secretly enjoying Jian Yue's ever-changing behavior when Qiu Zhenzhou spoke. Only then did he come to his senses, smiling as he released Jian Yue's hand and casually touched her face before saying, "It's not my fault, it's not my fault. How could I, the young master, be such a narrow-minded person? Sixth Miss, you don't seem to be feeling well. Let's sit down and talk some more."

Hmm, my future wife's face is so smooth, it's so nice to touch. I'm getting a little addicted to it now, what should I do?

Jian Yue bit her lip, forcibly concealing the murderous intent and disgust in her eyes. She lowered her gaze and sat down on the chair next to her. Bai Jianan then sat down next to Jian Yue, but his eyes were fixed on her, like a hungry wolf that had not seen flesh for a long time, ready to pounce at any moment.

Jian Yue felt a little flustered. She had prepared herself before coming, but when she saw him, she realized that this prince was not just a lecher as rumored.

Seeing that Bai Jianan showed no displeasure and was still staring intently at the reduction in personnel with great interest, Qiu Zhenzhou was very satisfied. He stroked his beard and said, "It is my Lingxiu's good fortune that the young master thinks so highly of her. Lingxiu, why don't you thank the young master?"

Jian Yue stood up in response, about to speak, when she saw Bai Jianan reach out and pull her into his arms, forcibly pressing her down on his lap. This position made Jian Yue stiffen instantly. When she came to her senses, she almost stood up and turned around to slap him.

To maintain her current identity, she could only struggle silently, trying her best to avoid contact with the other person. But the other person's hands were like vises, holding her tightly and pressing her against his thigh, with a wicked smile on his face. No matter how Jian Yue could see his wicked smile through the mask, she could tell that this guy was doing it on purpose.

"Lingxiu thanks Your Highness for your consideration, but Lingxiu is a young lady from a humble family, so please respect yourself."

After saying that, Jian Yue looked at Qiu Zhenzhou for help, although it was of no use.

Qiu Zhenzhou, as if he hadn't seen his daughter being taken advantage of, said with a smile, "Young Master, please don't be angry. My daughter grew up on the estate, so naturally she has some shortcomings in etiquette and has neglected you."

However, since it's so late, Your Highness, you must have something important to discuss with us!"

Jian Yue: That bastard who sold his daughter is worse than an animal.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan nodded to Qiu Zhenzhou: "Of course, I am a man of noble character, how could I stoop to the level of a mere woman? Moreover, this beauty is my future princess consort."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhenzhou laughed even harder: "What do you mean by that, Your Highness? Even I need to ask and verify more. My daughter's marriage cannot be taken lightly."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan showed no respect for Qiu Zhenzhou, merely snorting coldly, "What? Even now, Lord Qiu is still playing hard to get with me? I'm willing to condescend and exchange people; that's more than enough sincerity. Does Lord Qiu want anything else?"

Bai Jianan's gaze fell on Qiu Zhenzhou like a venomous snake. Qiu Zhenzhou felt a chill run down his neck as Bai Jianan continued, "Of course, if I were to marry the sixth young lady of the manor, then Lord Qiu would naturally be my father-in-law. Some things are easy to handle as long as my wife gives the word."

"We're family, no need for formalities. I dislike all that deceptive stuff. Let's be frank. I've taken a liking to Lingxiu, so Lord Qiu needn't bother with further probing."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhenzhou quickly stood up and bowed to Bai Jianan, trying his best to ignore Bai Jianan's domineering aura, saying, "It was my recklessness, please forgive me, Your Highness. Your Highness's favor towards Lingxiu is my blessing and Lingxiu's good fortune. Thank you for your favor, Your Highness."

Bai Jianan then smiled and said, "Lord Qiu, there's no need to apologize. How could I be such a difficult person? Lord Qiu has acted with discretion and sincerity. I naturally appreciate your kindness."

At this point, Bai Jianan looked at Qiu Zhenzhou and gave him a meaningful look. Qiu Zhenzhou immediately understood what he meant and quickly smiled and agreed, "Of course, of course. As the young master said, we're all family, so there's no need for formalities. It just so happens that I have some urgent official business in my study that I haven't had time to deal with yet, so I'll have Lingxiu stay here with the young master. I'll be there in a bit."

The pimp was quickly formed during their back-and-forth conversation. After Qiu Zhenzhou finished speaking, Jian Yue felt the hairs on her neck stand on end. Qiu Zhenzhou was leaving? Wasn't this going to cause trouble?

She looked up abruptly, only to see that Qiu Zhenzhou hadn't even glanced at her, but was saying as he walked, "Lingxiu, take good care of the young master, your father will be right back."

Seeing his carefree and smug demeanor, Jian Yue's eyes suddenly flashed with murderous intent.

Damn it, what should I do if I want to kill him right now?

Just as she was thinking, Jian Yue suddenly felt something was wrong. She immediately felt the hands that were gripping her waist tighten, trying to press her down onto his legs. Jian Yue instantly bristled and reached out to chop down on the head of the person behind her.

After saying that, without waiting for Jian Yue's reply, he turned and left.

Xiao Cui stood outside the door and watched Qiu Zhenzhou leave. Seeing that something was about to happen inside, she wanted to go in, but as she took a step, Qiu Zhenzhou scolded her.

"Where are you going? Your young lady will be the young master's principal wife in the future. It's perfectly reasonable for her to get to know him better now. Don't go and disturb her."

"But……"

Xiao Cui was so angry that she wanted to retort, but then a cold aura suddenly appeared behind her, and she was unable to move. She stared wide-eyed and heard a voice behind her say, "My lord, please leave. My young master will treat the young lady well, and I will also take good care of this head maid."

Upon seeing this, Qiu Zhenzhou smiled and nodded, saying, "That's excellent, excellent."

He didn't have to do anything that would offend people, so he was naturally very satisfied and left with a smile on his face.

After Qiu Zhenzhou left, the man did not leave either. He stood behind Xiao Cui and said in a cold voice, "Please don't be offended, young lady. My young master will certainly treat your young lady well. Just stay here and don't make me take action."

Xiao Cui just wanted to swear. Her young lady was alone with that rogue prince inside, and it looked like she was about to suffer a loss. How could she not be anxious?

She was extremely anxious, but now that her pressure points were sealed, she could only watch helplessly, praying in her heart that her mistress wouldn't be eaten, otherwise how could she live up to Sister Hua's repeated instructions?

"Lingxiu? Beautiful inside and out, very clever and lively. Indeed, a good name."

Inside the hall, Bai Jianan had already dodged Jian Yue's attack. The two stood in the center of the hall. Bai Jianan held Jian Yue's hands with one hand, making her lean against his chest, while his other hand was stroking her back, caressing her gently, and he was saying flirtatious words.

Jian Yue had no interest in playing word games with Bai Jianan; she just kept struggling, her face flushed.

"Let me go."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jianan moved closer to Jian Yue instead of backing down, his warm breath brushing against her ear, making Jian Yue bristle like a wildcat, her eyes turning red.

"Hehe, little wildcat, those claws are quite sharp."

As he spoke, he glanced sideways at the scratches on the back of his hand and sighed inwardly. If he hadn't been prepared, those scratches would probably be on his face by now!

The little wildcat finally couldn't resist anymore.

Thinking of this, he felt a little resentful and began to attack Jian Yue's shapely buttocks without restraint. Jian Yue was immediately enraged and embarrassed. She didn't care about anything else now. Since she had already broken out of her persona, she simply stopped hiding herself. Just as Bai Jianan was about to succeed, she said coldly, "Young Master, please do it now. I may not have any other skills, but on our wedding night, I can still castrate a stud."

Pfft, cough cough!

Bai Jianan was caught off guard by these words. He was stunned for a moment. Jian Yue took the opportunity to break free, and a white hand moved instantly, heading towards Bai Jianan's face.
