Chapter 112: We All Wronged Ye Xuan
At this moment, Hu Qianzao also felt somewhat panicked. Although these were her actions from a previous life, the thought of Ye Xuan risking his life to go back in time for her, only to be treated so poorly by her, unsettled her.
Previously, she thought Ye Xuan was a bad person and deserved whatever treatment he got, but now, it seems that’s not quite the case—!
The matters of her previous life, though they didn’t directly involve her, left her questioning: Could she really stand by and watch herself from a previous life repay kindness with ingratitude so comfortably?
Clearly, that was impossible–!
———
In the scenes that followed, it soon turned to night, and Ye Xuan arrived outside the room of Hu Wanquan’s concubine, Hui Niang.
As the door creaked open, the beautiful concubine, Hui Niang, appeared. She saw Ye Xuan and couldn’t help but light up:
“You’ve finally come.”
“Let me in quickly.”
Ye Xuan said.
“Oh, you’re in such a hurry.” After teasing Ye Xuan, Hui Niang let him in.
Outside in the courtyard, Yu Tieshan, who was keeping watch on Ye Xuan, also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“Ye Xuan, you’ve ultimately walked into my trap.” He smirked.
He had been monitoring Ye Xuan all day, especially the time Ye Xuan spent with Yu Ling’er, and he saw everything clearly. He was certain that Ye Xuan had no chance to tip off Yu Ling’er.
Of course, if Ye Xuan had actually done such a thing, he would have been forced to move against Ye Xuan sooner. Now, at least Ye Xuan could live a little longer, right?
Inside the room, Ye Xuan looked at Hui Niang and asked her: “Do you know why I’m here?”
“I know.” Hui Niang said: “The master said that as long as I serve you well, he will give me this box of jewels.”
As she spoke, she pointed to a small box behind her filled with jewels. Hui Niang, originally the top courtesan Hu Wanquan redeemed from the brothel, didn’t mind such arrangements.
However, she was surprised that the master valued this young man so much that he assigned her to serve him. She wondered what was so special about this young man.
“…”
Seeing Hui Niang’s demeanor, Ye Xuan slightly shook his head. It looked like his master, that old fox, wasn’t just trying to get rid of me but was also using this as an opportunity to get rid of Hui Niang.
But it made sense; Hui Niang was Hu Wanquan’s pillow companion, who might realize he was different from before.
With his cautious nature, he definitely wouldn’t let Hui Niang go.
“Do you really think he sent you to serve me, to win me over?” Ye Xuan asked.
“Isn’t that the case?” Hui Niang countered.
“No.” Ye Xuan said: “He wants to get rid of both of us. If we really do something later, he will definitely send someone to catch us in the act and take us to the officials–!”
“Ah–!!!” Hearing this, Hui Niang was shocked: “How…how could this be? He took so much effort to redeem me from the brothel, has he tired of me already?!!”
“Hehe.” Ye Xuan chuckled slightly and said: “If you want to live now, listen to me, or else, you will die later.”
“I…I will definitely listen to you–!!!” Seeing how serious Ye Xuan was, Hui Niang trembled with fear.
“Good.” Ye Xuan said: “When I give you the signal later, you scream.”
“Scream!?” Hearing this, Hui Niang looked puzzled. Ye Xuan gave her a look and then said: “Scream for help, pretend I’m assaulting you.”
“–!!!” Hearing this, Hui Niang looked at Ye Xuan in shock. “You…sir…you…”
She clearly understood Ye Xuan’s intent. According to Ye Xuan, Hu Wanquan wanted to catch the two of them in an affair, which would surely mean her death.
The best outcome would be being handed over to the authorities, and the worst…drowning in a pig cage, death.
Ye Xuan was saving her–!!!
“So why not take this chance… you should hurry out of my room?” Hui Niang asked Ye Xuan: “That way, no matter what the master’s intentions are, we wouldn’t have to be afraid.”
“Hehe, there are some things you can avoid for a moment, but not for a lifetime.”
