Chapter 486 The Fourth Peach Blossom and the Treasure of the Sea of ​​Love (7.4k)

The first level of the Pagoda of Love was completely lit up, and both parties were bathed in the light of the pagoda, with their minds and hearts focused.

A blush instantly appeared on Wang Yan's face, and his eyes were as moist as water.

She pursed her lips slightly, a little shy but revealing a hint of irrepressible joy. Her hands gently climbed onto Chu Wujiang's shoulders, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if feeling the warmth of every inch of his skin.

"Master Hou..."

"The guilty woman is yours now."

Wang Yan's expression after the joy was like a blooming lotus, unfolding at the peak of bliss, elegant and charming.

After the rain, the sky clears up.

Chu Wujiang hugged the beautiful woman and said with a chuckle:
"No, you're just a slave girl."

Even if the two had physical contact, Chu Wujiang would not feel that they had become very close.

Just a transaction.

【What a cold-blooded man. 】

【But only such a man can achieve great things. 】

Wang Yan secretly evaluated in his heart and understood that Chu Wujiang was just lustful and had no feelings for her.

She snuggled in Chu Wujiang's arms and said softly:
"The guilty woman understands."

"The guilty woman is just the Marquis's puppet."

"Whatever the Marquis wants to do, I can accept it."

This is also Wang Yan’s rhetoric.

Men always like women to submit completely and confirm their own dominant position.

So she would constantly express her submission to expand Chu Wujiang's sense of pleasure.

Of course, Wang Yan had never experienced such happiness before. There was a spring in his brows and his words were sincere.

Chu Wujiang pinched Wang Yan's cheek and said with satisfaction:
"very good."

"But remember what I said. The Duke of Rong's Mansion made huge profits by lending money and renting out houses as its main business. They lived a parasitic life, so this is what I have to pay you back."

"I give you silver not for profit, but to slowly eat up the profit from the loan sharks. It doesn't matter if I lose some of it."

People have a scale in their hearts. Not every rich person will be hated. Instead, entrepreneurs who rely on technology, business methods, and organizational abilities can gain respect and admirers.

Those who are most likely to suffer from jealousy are always the rentier class.

The decline of the Ning and Rong mansions might even be applauded by those who pay high rents in Tianjing every month.

Die well.

Wang Yan quickly replied:

"I understand. At most I will get back my capital, plus a certain amount of interest."

"Very good, let's continue."

"Lord, be gentle~"

While Chu Wujiang was savoring the beauty, he silently said in his heart:
[Book of Heaven, light up my romantic luck. ]

Chu Wujiang already has three stars of romantic luck. Logically speaking, it would not be of much use to promote some low-level luck.

But the emergence of Taixu Illusion gave Chu Wujiang another guess.

Will there be an ultimate destiny as the culmination of various destinies?
For example, the pinnacle of peach blossom luck is the fortune of being a romantic, a love saint, or one who spreads his love all over the world.

The illusory world of Taixu is the pinnacle of romantic luck.

Only by becoming her master can you obtain the ultimate luck in love.

Like a real dragon.

For example, the pinnacle of a country's destiny, the true dragon of destiny, requires one hundred dragon veins to merge into one and control everything.

Therefore, Chu Wujiang has to take advantage of his new romantic luck to break into the illusory world of Taixu again.

Book of Heaven, charge at me!

Following Chu Wujiang's order, the Heavenly Book absorbed the 100 points of white peach blossom luck that had just been generated by the Love Sin Pagoda, shot them into the starry sky, and lit up the fourth peach blossom luck.

There was a boom.

Corresponding words began to appear in the heavenly book.

[Deep affection (white)]: [Your eyes are full of affection, which is revealed naturally, making women feel that you are deeply affectionate and fall for you unconsciously.]

Some people's eyes are filled with love and affection, which makes people misunderstand that they are deeply loved at first glance.

But it’s a gift.

Some actors can also show affection in their eyes and brows on the screen.

Chu Wujiang hugged Wang Yan with a tender and affectionate look in his eyes.

Wang Yan's heart trembled, almost unable to control himself. He lowered his head and dared not look directly at Chu Wujiang, and said in a mosquito-like voice:

"My Lord, why do you have to deceive me like this?"

Chu Wujiang hugged Wang Yan and said with a chuckle:
“Why is it deception?”

"I still like you a little bit."

Chu Wujiang never concealed his love for beauty and his enjoyment of the style of beautiful women.

Wang Yan replied:
"The Marquis has a nice smile, but the emotion is very dull."

"It's hard for a man like the Marquis to really fall in love, at least not with a guilty woman."

"The guilty woman couldn't see the flaws, and she knew it was fake."

Wang Yan is indeed a woman favored by luck. Her eyes are extremely sharp and she can immediately see the problem with Chu Wujiang's deep affection.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"If you act it out enough, it becomes real."

"Yan'er, I like you."

Wang Yan quickly closed his eyes.

This horrible man not only took my body, but also played with my feelings.

But his eyes are so tender and affectionate that they make people's heart beat fast.

"My Lord, please don't tease me."

Chu Wujiang stroked Wang Yan's hair and chuckled.

"Then let's continue."

Chu Wujiang has long been able to multitask.

While enjoying pleasure with the woman, he tried to activate his new romantic luck by injecting it into the key, and the black key emitted a faint light.

It is born and dies in a flash.

It seems that this [affectionate] luck cannot deceive the key.

It seemed to mark Chu Wujiang as not a romantic man.

It doesn’t matter, let’s continue to advance.

Chu Wujiang ordered again:

【The Book of Heaven, give me a promotion to deep affection. 】

The Heavenly Book absorbed 100 points of green peach blossom luck and then bombarded the stars in the sea of ​​consciousness.

There was a boom.

The white stars transformed into blue, casting blue light.

As the peach blossoms bloomed, three new options emerged from the heavenly book:

[A Kiss of Love (Blue)]: [A kiss of love is like a mark of fate, making the bond between the two people unforgettable and unforgettable.]

【Loyalty (Qing)】: 【Loyalty and single-mindedness, to the one you love, like a pine tree standing in the snow, evergreen all year round. If you betray your faith, your relationship will be severed.】

【Childhood sweethearts (Qing)】: 【Time flies, the innocence of childhood is still there, the two are innocent, like green bamboo and green willow, as time goes by, the friendship deepens, growing up together, the affection is deep and long-lasting.】

Chu Wujiang originally wanted to pick one at random, but when the three destinies came out, he suddenly understood something.

[This peach blossom luck is a bit like developing in the direction of love, requiring people to be deeply devoted and loyal until death. ]

[I wonder if there will be a romantic or a love saint when it is promoted? ]

Chu Wujiang's mind moved, and he continued to analyze:
[The first one is to improve your kissing skills, the second one is mutual loyalty, I only want one, it's not suitable for me, the third one is where can I find a childhood sweetheart, you can't just give me one, I just give up.]

【So I choose the first option. 】

Chu Wujiang took a quick look at the three options and found that the last two were not suitable for him, so he eliminated them directly.

With the improvement of his luck, Chu Wujiang's kissing skills have further improved, which can make women remember it for a lifetime.

This is indeed much more convenient if you want to fall in love.

It's a pity that Chu Wujiang is not the protagonist of the love story. He lives in the world of fantasy and immortals, and he holds a high position of power, so he doesn't have the idea of ​​reckless love.

Chu Wujiang used his vital energy to control the black key, cleaned it first, and then gently touched the key.

The entire black key glowed as if it was trying to escape.

Chu Wujiang immediately suppressed the black key and tried to communicate with him through secret techniques:
[Taixu Fantasy, can you talk to me? ]

The black key is deathly silence.

This is normal, the first Duke Rong was also a three-tribulation soul, a world-famous master. If he could get the treasure from the illusory world of Taixu, he would not have survived until today.

Seeing no response, Chu Wujiang was not anxious and continued to order:
[Book of Heaven, give me a promotion to a kiss of love. ]

The last 100 points of blue peach blossom luck finally turned into a blue luck seed, directly bombarding the stars.

There was a boom.

As the blue starlight fell, Chu Wujiang saw three options appear in the heavenly book.

[Reunited (Blue)]: [Love is deep, fate is shallow, lovers are separated, like a broken mirror sinking into the sea, although time has passed, the love is hard to break, there will be a day of reunion. ]

【Love is as deep as the sea, husband and wife are of one mind, as long as the mountains, the years are long, the feelings are unchanged, walk hand in hand, and stay together until the end of life. 】

[Liang Zhu Turns into Butterflies (Blue)]: [Deep love and destiny, together through life and death, like a butterfly in love among flowers, the soul of love is immortal, transcending life and death, turning into butterflies and flying together, never leaving each other in this life.]

It is indeed the true love route, Liang Zhu both appeared.

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then analyzed in his mind:
[The first item of luck, lovers are separated, and can be reunited and found again, is too tragic, I won’t consider it. ]

[The second item of luck, never parting, means that the relationship between husband and wife is very stable and will not decay over time, like a lower-level substitute for the old sword and deep love. ] (Note: Chapter 351)
[The third destiny, the two cannot overcome the obstacles, the souls gather together after death and turn into butterflies, not considered. ]

Although Chu Wujiang knew that the story of Liang Zhu was more touching, the first and third options were too unlucky, so he didn't want to choose them at all.

[Heavenly Book, I choose the second option. ]

Chu Wujiang made a quick decision, and the blue star transformed successfully.

This luck continued to improve, and finally the black key responded.

The black key emitted a bright light, and Chu Wujiang's soul entered the illusory world again.

The world before his eyes turned white.

The master of the Grand Illusionary Realm did not show up, but only a cloud of white mist emerged:
"You are not a romantic person, so how can you control the changes in marriage?"

Chu Wujiang immediately asked back:

"Then how should I call you?"

"Where exactly is this place? What did Duke Rong gain from it in the past?"

Bai Wu replied:
"My name is not important."

"You are not a romantic person, so you should not flirt with other women. I give you the Pagoda of Love and Sin. I hope you can help others and not harm others."

"Otherwise, disaster will befall you, and there will be no end to it."

"I advise you to be careful, be careful."

Chu Wujiang smiled calmly and said:
"I and all the women in the world are innocent."

"How come there is no end?"

Bai Wu explained:
"How could there not be?"

"Wang Yan was supposed to remain a widow for eleven years, but due to unspeakable circumstances, she met a marriage partner and was freed."

"Now that you have interfered, you have ruined the marriage and destiny. I don't know how many things will be ruined."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"If I kill a good man in the street, I will report to the prefect that this good man will cause trouble in the future, so it is better to kill him early."

"Do you think the court's law will forgive me or punish me?"

"It is ridiculous for Your Excellency to blame me for future events."

"Does it depend on your approval for me to marry and have children?"

Bai Wu was silent for a moment, then immediately said:
"I can't explain it to you clearly, so leave quickly."

Bai Wu was unable to reason with him, so he planned to chase him away. This made Chu Wujiang ask:
"Wait a minute!"

"Does Your Excellency control the marriages of the world? Is there any luck with love here?"

"If you tell me the truth, I will not be in a hurry to come back."

Bai Wu hesitated for a moment:

"Here is the [Book of Love in the Sea of ​​Sin], which indeed contains a supreme peach blossom luck."

"It is only for those who are destined to be with it, and for those who are truly in love."

"As for the man you mentioned, he did come here more than 600 years ago."

"He is not a romantic, he is just trapped in love and doesn't know who he loves."

"I gave him some pointers and sent him away."

"Okay, don't come here again. There is no chance for you here!"

As soon as Bai Wu finished speaking, he drove Chu Wujiang away again and closed the door with a bang.

When Chu Wujiang opened his eyes again, he returned to the practice room, still holding Wang Yan.

[Sure enough, it won't work. In the Great Illusion, I can't use mysteries or vitality. I will be driven out like an ordinary person.]

[It is temporarily unavailable to explore the Great Illusion. 】

[There is no chance for me there, right? I will pack you up and take you away in the future. ]

[The opportunity is not mine, just grab it]

Chu Wujiang was now certain that there was a supreme secret treasure in the illusory world that could bring him luck in love.

He had obtained silver luck and now had two sets of backups, but he had never come across any gold luck.

A true child of destiny must be protected by golden luck, even if it is just a romantic luck.

"My Lord, what's wrong?"

Wang Yan sensed something strange. The Champion Marquis first created a pagoda and then took out a black key, which made her a little uneasy.

Chu Wujiang calmed down, stretched out his hand and pinched Wang Yan's face, and said with a smile:

"It's okay. It's all over. Your body has reached its limit."

Wang Yan blushed.

Every inch of her skin bore traces of Chu Wujiang.

The two did it so thoroughly the first time they met.

She suppressed her discomfort and said:
"My Lord, I can still hold on."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
"Don't be so stubborn, go back and rest first."

"But you have to remember one thing, even if she is a slave girl, she is still my woman."

Wang Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, and he shouted happily:
"Yes, Lord Marquis."

"The guilty woman can only be the Marquis's woman, no, a slave girl." Wang Yan was never afraid of being called a slave girl. She was only afraid that Chu Wujiang didn't care about her at all and was just playing with her.

The possessiveness Chu Wujiang showed now was a good thing for her.

Chu Wujiang has always been gentle. When he saw that Wang Yan was exhausted, he activated the secret of Silver Moon to help her heal her fatigue and clean the marks on her body.

"My Lord, the guilty woman will come by herself."

Wang Yan hurriedly put on his clothes and prepared to leave.

Chu Wujiang suddenly called her:

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Wang Yan said quickly:

"Master Marquis, please give me your instructions."

Chu Wujiang pointed a finger at the center of Wang Yan's eyebrows, condensed a soul seal, and merged it into her sea of ​​consciousness.

"You are my slave girl, so you must practice the skills of a slave girl."

"This secret technique of the soul is given to you."

The Five Desires Witch's Paradise Sutra!
Wang Yan’s eyes widened. She felt that her spiritual cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, enough to advance to become the [Greedy Witch].

She loves money all her life, so she can serve as a minister who amasses wealth for the Demon King.

Wang Yan originally practiced some ghost secret arts and possessed some debt collector spells to collect debts. Now that he has acquired this martial art, he is really adding wings to his power.

This is also clear evidence that Chu Wujiang treats her as his own slave girl.

Wang Yan was delighted and said:
"Thank you, Master."

Chu Wujiang said calmly:

"Go."

Wang Yan then staggered out of the door. Baili Jin stood at the door and looked at this lucky woman and couldn't help but say:

"No need to cover your eyes. I'll have someone take you back."

Wang Yan saw that Baili Jin's face was not looking good, so he quickly said respectfully:
"Thank you, Master Baili."

After Wang Yan left, Baili Jin said sourly:

"My Lord, I only have the opportunity to serve you after I have made great contributions."

That woman, just by virtue of her looks, got there first.

So angry.

Chu Wujiang laughed dumbly and said:

"What are you afraid of, Jinyu? I haven't had enough fun yet."

"You come too."

Having obtained the Pagoda of Love today, he really wanted to test the limits of the pagoda.

"Ah~"

Baili Jin was knocked down by Chu Wujiang.

……

Taoranju, Miscellaneous Courtyard

This is a residence specially built for maids and is also the new home for the women of the Zhen family.

The girls gathered together in confusion, hugging each other and crying.

This morning, they were the daughters and maids of the Duke's Mansion, but in the afternoon, they became fifth-class servants of the Chu family.

The women of the Zhen family were lucky to have come at the right time.

Lu Youlan is improving the treatment of the Chu family's servants and implementing it. She checks the kitchen every day to see how the servants are fed.

Even the lowest-ranking fifth-rank slave in the Chu family could eat millet and two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

It is roughly equivalent to the construction site meals in the previous life. It can fill the servants' stomachs and give them the energy to practice martial arts. It is a delicacy that is out of reach for ordinary people.

As a result, Zhen's maid Zhenzhu took a mouthful of greasy twice-cooked pork and couldn't help crying:
"In the past, we ate Yangrong Pills and Ginseng Soup. At the very least, we could eat bird's nest."

"How can we eat such a rough meal?"

The maidservant of the Zhen family has a high level of martial arts skills and is essentially a warrior.

They can eat medicinal food, get some spiritual rice, etc. just like their masters.

There are many people from top families who have outstanding looks, and one important reason for this is that the food is particularly good.

The gap is too big now.

At this time, a woman in fiery red clothes shouted:

"Don't cry."

"If you can't even bear this little hardship, how can you survive the disaster facing the Zhen family?"

"Things will get better."

The crying maid Zhenzhu stopped crying and said:
"Miss San, we are not crying for the food."

"If I eat these coarse foods every day, how can I practice martial arts and advance my health?"

"If you stay in this environment for too long, your martial arts foundation will be ruined."

Their aptitude in martial arts is not very high. They are neither geniuses nor proud ones. At most, they are outstanding talents who rely heavily on resources.

The gap between mediocre people and outstanding people will be immediately widened as long as the resources are not sufficient.

The third lady in red [Zhen Qiutong] said loudly:

"It's okay. I asked."

"Some of our furniture, clothes, and jewelry have been packed into boxes and will also be sent to the Chu Mansion."

"The Chu family allows you to take away some personal clothing."

Chu Wujiang brought over the women from the Rongguo Mansion just as he did when he confiscated the house. Their clothes, accessories, and private money were also included. The maids of the Chu family were responsible for checking and sending all of them over.

Zhen Qiutong said seriously:

"If there are still some of these clothes and jewelry left, take them to the pawn shop and sell them. First, get through this, and then find a way to make money."

"We'll find a way. Let's eat first."

"These meals are not delicious, they are much better than those of ordinary people."

"You will have strength only when you are full."

Zhen Qiutong seemed very calm and generous. Even in such an adverse situation, she was able to quickly rally the people. This made the other women seem to have found their backbone. They gradually stopped crying and promised:

"Yes, Miss San."

Just as everyone was gathering their hearts, Wang Yan staggered over. Ping'er, a maid who used to serve Wang Yan, shouted in surprise:

"The eldest young lady is back!"

The girls put down their bowls and chopsticks and gathered around Wang Yan, with complicated expressions on their faces.

On the one hand, they looked down on the flattery just now, and on the other hand, they were eager to get Wang Yan's help. She has always been the person in charge of the Duke's Mansion, and all the women are in awe of her.

The third lady Zhen Qiutong couldn't help but shout:
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Yan used to pay great attention to her manners, but now she obviously had problems walking. Facing the suspicious eyes of the girls, she subconsciously stroked her belly and smiled slightly:

"I became the Marquis's slave girl, and I was just serving my master."

"The Marquis is very capable. He has been tormented for so long and only came back now."

This is too shameless.

The women were suddenly stunned.

They thought about trying to curry favor with Guan Jun Hou after Wang Yan left, but in the end, everything was done.

"Madam, how could you do this?"

"You have ruined the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

“Shame on you, shame on you!”

After a brief silence, the women seemed indignant. Even if they had fallen into this situation, they should not actively flatter.

"Quiet!"

Zhen Qiutong was indeed the backbone of the group. She scolded, then took a deep breath and said:

"Sister-in-law, the Champion Marquis is a playboy by nature. I'm afraid he forced you."

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. We are all miserable people."

When the girls heard what the Third Miss said, they felt that they had gone too far and covered their faces in shame.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yan laughed and said:

"No, I offered myself voluntarily."

"The Marquis is a man who cherishes women, so why not throw yourself into his arms as soon as possible?"

Wang Yan silenced the women again and added:
"If I'm lucky, I want to give birth to a child for you."

Now Zhen Qiutong couldn't hold it anymore.

Could it be that Wang Yan is a fickle woman? Why didn’t I see it before?

At this time, Li Xian, the second daughter-in-law of Duke Rong, stood up and said coldly:
"No need to say more."

"She has her Yangguan Road, and I have my own single-plank bridge."

"Sister-in-law is willing to sacrifice herself in exchange for wealth and glory, so we don't need to say anything more."

Li Xian was dressed in plain clothes, as if in mourning.

Ever since she failed in her attempt to get married and became a widow, she has always worn plain clothes and has never dressed up.

If Wang Yan is like a graceful and elegant lady from a wealthy family, then Li Xian is more like a nun in a temple with green lamps and ancient Buddhas.

"Second Young Madam is right."

"We, the people of the Rongguo Mansion, cannot flatter the Chu family."

"One day, the Rongguo Mansion will stand up again."

Wang Yan just found it funny.

The girls still don't know why the Rongguo Mansion has declined.

She said to the women:

"We all signed a contract to sell ourselves to the Chu family. The Chu family has only one master, and that is Marquis Guanjun."

"The Marquis is a playboy by nature. You don't think he will let you go, do you?"

"Since we have to do it anyway, it's better to do it sooner rather than later."

"The Marquis will have more women in the future. You may not be able to become slaves if you want to."

shameless!
She was totally hopeless for saying such vulgar things.

The women were in an uproar, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Zhen Qiutong spoke again:
"wrong!"

"The law of destiny stipulates that the indenture can be sold for a maximum of ten years before redemption. Even if it is a slave, the master cannot beat or kill him at will, or even force him."

"In ten years, we should be free again."

The Tianming Dynasty was not a slave society. The imperial court had regulations regarding indentured servants. It did not want the slaves to be oppressed too much and, by the way, weakened the power of the wealthy nobles.

But Wang Yan smiled and said:

"How many of the former servants of the Duke Rong's Mansion left the Mansion because of this clause?"

"Those who left were simply abandoned by their masters."

"The servants in the palace have to sign a renewal contract every ten years. They have to sign it three times in a row to get a permanent contract. Some cruel nobles will use this clause to drive away those old and useless servants to save money."

“And we signed three copies.”

The women have a relatively high status, even the maids are senior maids and don't know much about the actual situation of the Duke's Mansion.

The imperial court hoped that slaves would only sell themselves for ten years, but unfortunately every time there is a policy, there is a countermeasure.

Aristocratic families and nobles would selectively implement this practice. Some servants would only sell their bodies for ten years and then be driven away when they got old.

Providing for the servants in retirement is also an expense.

The aristocratic families only picked the core backbones to sell themselves permanently, and the lower-level coolies responded to the court's call and were directly driven away.

The speed at which humans create rules and laws will never be as fast as the speed at which smart people manipulate the system.

Later, the imperial court had to come up with a patch, requiring that anyone who signed three consecutive indentures would be deemed to have sold their body permanently, in order to prevent the nobles from driving away the old servants at the bottom and causing human tragedy.

The women then understood why they had signed three consecutive copies of the indenture contract, without dates on them to facilitate modification and filling out.

So they are selling themselves forever.

Wang Yan saw that she had suppressed the momentum of the other women and added:

"Now that things have come to this, the best solution for us is self-evident..."

Zhen Qiutong said in disbelief:
"Wait, sister-in-law."

"The Marquis of Guanjun has no shortage of women. We can talk to him. Lord Baili also said that as long as you make meritorious contributions, you can redeem yourself."

"I'll go talk to him."

Zhen Qiutong was unwilling to accept this and sold herself into slavery.

She is still young and was once the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion. How could she allow herself to degenerate?

Wang Yan smiled and said:
"If Qiu Tong wants to go, I can talk to the Marquis for you."

"With your looks and personality, the Marquis will definitely like you."

The girls felt a chill in their hearts. They wondered what kind of magic potion Marquis Guan had given the eldest young lady that she would completely speak from his perspective just after going there once.

Zhen Qiutong said seriously:

"Sister-in-law, I won't be like you."

Just as Wang Yan was about to take away Zhen Qiutong, the third daughter of the Duke of Rong's mansion, someone stood up and shouted:
"No, I'll do it."

"If I go, Champion Marquis won't dare to mess around."

The girls looked closely and saw that it was Li Xian. They all shouted:

"Second Young Madam, how can this be done?"

"If you go, it will ruin your reputation."

Li Xian said seriously:
"You are still young and there is still hope of marrying into a good family."

"And I have a chastity memorial arch, and I also know some people in the academy. If the Champion Marquis makes a move, my reputation will be damaged."

"Even if he is shameless, I can let the world know his ugly face."

"It is the academies all over the world who are attacking him."

"For the sake of dignity, the Confucian sect should also take action to stop him."

All the girls looked at the Second Young Lady with admiration, except Zhen Qiutong who showed a hint of worry.

Will things go this smoothly?

Wang Yan smiled and said:
"Then come with me."

"Ping'er, you come too."

Ping'er asked in surprise:
"Madam, do I want one too?"

Wang Yan said seriously:

"They don't know how to cherish opportunities. If they wait until later, I'm afraid the Marquis won't bother to pay attention to them."

"We have to get in the car quickly while the Marquis is still interested."
