Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

What did Lu Nian just call her? Husband? Jiang Qingyan felt incredibly good being called "husband"! To be called "husband" by such a handsome man in such a gentle voice was just too exciting!

Jiang Qingyan happily put her arm around Lu Nian's shoulder, pulled him into her arms, and gave him a light kiss on the lips, reassuring him, "I just felt sorry for him, I didn't mean anything by it, believe me."

Yi Luo pursed her lips, a little jealous. Lu Nian had beaten her to it! She quickly moved closer to Jiang Qingyan and whispered in her ear, "I want some too!"

Jiang Qingyan smiled helplessly, raised her hand to pinch Yi Luo's earlobe, and then kissed him on the lips.

Seeing her hugging and kissing each other, Yun Yuxuan, who was standing to the side, had a black line on his face. He felt it was a bit cringeworthy. He quickly turned his head away awkwardly, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and pretended not to see anything, and casually ate them.

Xuan Ye quickly changed his clothes and came to the private room on the second floor. He walked straight to Jiang Qingyan's side, and then glanced at Lu Nian and Yi Luo sitting next to her. After seeing their faces, he couldn't help but frown, and a sense of displeasure rose in his heart for no reason.

Xuan Ye said in a deep voice, "Young Master already has a beautiful woman by your side, I'm afraid there's no place for Xuan Ye."

Jiang Qingyan turned her head and glanced at him, then pointed to Yun Yuxuan at the next table and casually said, "Why don't you sit at that table and keep my friend company?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Yuxuan almost choked on the melon seeds. He quickly picked up his teacup and drank the entire cup of cold tea. He turned to look at Jiang Qingyan and said in a panic, "How can I let Yan Qingyan serve me after spending so much money on my first night?"

Jiang Qingyan tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Yu Xuan doesn't like her? If you don't like such a beauty, then why do you come here every three days just to see those ordinary women? It seems Yu Xuan's taste is quite unique!"

Yun Yuxuan coughed lightly and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that... I'm a little unavailable today..."

Jiang Qingyan was even more puzzled. She frowned and looked Yun Yuxuan up and down, her gaze lingering on his waist and abdomen for a moment. Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on her lips. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Could it be that Yuxuan has been having sex too often and is suffering from kidney deficiency?"

Yun Yuxuan was so taken aback by Jiang Qing's words that he almost fell off his chair, but fortunately Jiang Qingyan caught him in time.

Jiang Qingyan looked like she understood and gently patted Yun Yuxuan's back to comfort him, "Yuxuan, don't be sad. When we get back to the manor, I'll tell the kitchen to cook you more chives. It's alright. These things are minor issues for men. With some rest, you'll get better."

Yun Yuxuan was completely overwhelmed by Jiang Qingyan's barrage of words. He hurriedly waved to Yin Yue, who was not far away, and said in a flustered tone, "Did Mother send someone to call me back for dinner? Let's go back now!"

Yin Yue was completely confused. When did the Empress call him back for dinner?

Yun Yuxuan quickly stood up, cupped his hands in farewell to Jiang Qingyan, and then strode away from Qingfeng Pavilion.

Yin Yue scratched his head, not understanding what was going on with his master, but he could only jog behind him and whisper, "Your Highness, the Empress has not sent anyone to deliver a message."

Yun Yuxuan glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "Send someone to investigate Minister Lin, and... go and retrieve today's intelligence from Father Xu. I don't want to step into Qingfeng Pavilion again today."

"Yes." Although Yin Yue was full of questions, he didn't ask any more questions. He simply used his lightness skill to go around to the backyard of Qingfeng Pavilion.

Inside Qingfeng Pavilion, Jiang Qingyan leaned back lazily in her chair, tilting her head as she stared at Xuan Ye. "Tell me, why did you ask me to raise the price on stage just now?"

Xuan Ye remained standing in the same spot and said in a deep voice, "I was wronged by villains and sold to this filthy place. Since I have become a male prostitute, I might as well choose the most handsome one for my first night, so as not to defile myself."

Jiang Qingyan took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Oh? How can you be so sure I'll bid for you? You know, the two concubines beside me are just as beautiful as you."

"I'm not entirely sure, I'm just taking a gamble." Xuan Ye pursed his thin lips, his eyes gradually dimming. He had always been confident in his good looks and was full of self-assurance when he stood on the stage, which was why he dared to speak to the young master.

But seeing the two people beside the young master, one can tell that the young master is not lacking in beautiful women, not to mention that the young master's appearance is far superior to his.

But... the young master said those two were his concubines? They weren't male prostitutes?

Xuan Ye's eyes lit up again, and hope ignited in his heart. He cautiously asked, "Young master, you must be from a wealthy family and certainly not short of money. Would you mind taking me as your concubine? I can do everything... I'll definitely serve you better than my two brothers... and I'm still a virgin... I'm not defiled..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingyan's eyebrows furrowed into waves. Did those words just come from Xuan Ye's mouth? There's no need to ask him privately anymore; he definitely isn't that aloof guy from the bar in her past life who transmigrated! It seems they just look the same... making her excited for nothing.

Upon hearing Xuan Ye's words, Yi Luo felt an urge to kill him, but being in Xia Kingdom, he couldn't cause trouble, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and endure it.

Yi Luo cupped Jiang Qingyan's face in his hands, making her look at him, and then said, word by word, "No! You! Can't!"

"Don't worry, brother, Xuan Ye won't fight you for anything. I just want to leave here..." Xuan Ye quickly explained, his voice becoming much gentler.

Completely different from his initial aloofness, Xuan Ye seemed like a different person, with a face full of flattery, which left Jiang Qingyan somewhat bewildered.

Lu Nian stood up abruptly, took Jiang Qingyan's hand, and said softly, "Husband, we should go back."

Jiang Qingyan was once again confused by Lu Nian's address of "husband," and stood up as if possessed, following his footsteps outside.

Yi Luo curled her lips and quickly followed.

Seeing the three about to leave, Xuan Ye panicked. He knelt down abruptly in front of their retreating figures, his voice trembling with tears, and said, "Young Master, if you truly refuse to redeem Xuan Ye, then take my virginity before you leave..."

Jiang Qingyan froze on the spot at the mournful voice. She couldn't bear to see handsome men cry, especially when they were in trouble. But looking at the two handsome men beside her with murderous intent on their faces, she could only grit her teeth and say, "Fine, fine, I'll redeem you!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Nian's hand tightened uncontrollably, causing Jiang Qingyan to wince in pain.

She pulled her hand away, turned around to look at Xuan Ye kneeling on the ground, and added, "I don't want your virginity. I'm redeeming you only out of pity, not because I like you. I won't take you as a concubine. After you get the indenture, you can go wherever you want."
