"Really?" Lu Xiaofeng hesitated to speak.
"what happened?"
"nothing."
Lu Xiaofeng finally decided not to tell anyone. After all, when he secretly ran to Chen Liu's house and climbed over the wall, he saw Yao Yue wearing a maid's outfit. A maid serving her!
Furthermore, Lu Xiaofeng had no idea whether Chen Liu knew Yao Yue was currently working as a maid in his household. If he did, it would be awkward for him to reveal it. If he didn't, then Yao Yue probably had some plans. If he sabotaged them, Yao Yue would definitely hunt him down to the ends of the earth.
Lu Xiaofeng was not too worried about Chen Liu's safety, as Chen Liu seemed to have a good relationship with Yihua Palace.
Chen Liu would definitely not stay overnight in a brothel. He had such a beautiful wife at home, and brothel girls had no appeal to him.
After knowing that Ximen Chuxue had not yet arrived in the capital, Chen Liu and Lu Xiaofeng played for a while and then prepared to go back. After all, the night curfew in the Ming Dynasty was very strict, and even brothels had very strict business hours. If they didn't go back, the night curfew would start.
"You want to go back?"
"Of course I have to go back! My fiancée won't let me stay overnight in the brothel."
"Okay, then you go back."
Chen Liu left Hongxiu Tower, but just as he walked out of the door, a dark shadow came out and scared him.
"It's you. Why aren't you leaving yet?" Chen Liu asked when he saw that the black shadow was Jiang Yuyan.
"I have nowhere to go." Jiang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Yuyan had originally thought that Chen Liu would not come out until the morning, but in order not to miss the person who rescued her from the brothel, she decided to keep a close eye on Hongxiu Tower.
Although Chen Liu gave her a large sum of money and asked her to find an inn and a horse-drawn carriage company, Jiang Yuyan felt that it was safer to stay with Chen Liu for the time being. After all, Chen Liu was not interested in her beauty and not only redeemed her but also gave her money to let her go. However, the same could not be said for others.
Jiang Yuyan knew she was beautiful, and her looks were irresistible to most people. So after her mother's death, Jiang Yuyan tried to avoid trouble by disguising herself as ugly, but this still caused problems. Eventually, her secret was discovered, and she was captured and sold into a brothel.
Jiang Yuyan was unfamiliar with the capital, and she worried that something might go wrong and she'd be kidnapped and sold again. Chen Liu had saved her this time, but next time, there might not be anyone to save her. Furthermore, Chen Liu seemed to know her future, and she wanted to find out what was going on, or perhaps understand her future first. So, she decided to stick with Chen Liu's trademark and rely on him first.
"There are many inns in the capital." Chen Liu said.
"Can I follow you first?" Jiang Yuyan pretended to be weak and whispered, "I'm scared."
Jiang Yuyan reached into the package she was holding tightly to her chest, rummaged through it, and pulled out all the money Chen had left for her. She said, "I only spent a few cents to buy two cakes. The rest of the money is all here."
"You gave me too much money. I've never seen so much money before. I always feel like everyone is staring at me." Jiang Yuyan looked terrified and said, "I'm afraid of being robbed."
Chen Liu:......
Is Jiang Yuyan so timid? It doesn't fit her image as a great demon. But it's true, she's not a late-stage great demon yet. She's still quite kind, a weak woman without any martial arts skills. She just experienced the pain of being sold into a brothel, so her fear seems understandable.
demon king?
Jiang Yuyan's eyes flickered slightly. "Is this the image he has of me? Does that mean I'll become a big devil in the future? But why? Is it because of my father?"
"At first, I thought he bought me to train me to kill my father, but after he redeemed me, he just let me go without doing anything or saying anything. So my father must have done something that I hated so much that I hated him so much that I wanted to kill him. And my subsequent transformation into a demon king seemed to be caused by my father."
"Then what would my father do to make me hate him? Oh, my mother, my mother's tablet. My mother's tablet is the only thing I have left. If my father disowns my mother and even smashes her tablet, I will definitely kill him."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyan began to hesitate about going to find her father. Although she hadn't confirmed whether what she had heard was true, she didn't dare to try. She was afraid that her father would really disown her mother and smash her mother's tablet. Her mother's tablet was her only spiritual support now. If her own father smashed it, she would be devastated.
Jiang Yuyan thought to herself, "No matter what, I have to find out first before I go find my father. If my father really does what he says, then whether he will admit it or not, we'll see what happens then."
Chen Liu thought for a while, but didn't take the money back. He nodded and said, "Okay, it's really too late today. I can take you in for one night, but you can go to the inn by yourself tomorrow."
"Okay!" Jiang Yuyan nodded quickly, thinking to herself, "Let's go home with him first. Once I know his family, I can stay at his house. I can be diligent and do cleaning and chores. I'll just say I'm willing to stay at his house as a maid until my father comes to pick me up. I don't need money, just food and shelter. He shouldn't refuse, right? If he does, I'll cry."
"Let's go." Chen Liu took the lead and walked forward.
"Wait for me! Money." Jiang Yuyan quickly ran after him, holding the small package. There wasn't much in the package, just the tablet of her mother, Xiao Baiyan.
Jiang Yuyan caught up with Chen Liu and handed him the money.
"You keep it." Chen Liu glanced at Jiang Yuyan and said.
When he returned home, Wang Yuyan and Shui Sheng were still awake, and Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao had not left either, which surprised Chen Liu.
Seeing Chen Liu bringing a girl back, Wang Yuyan asked, "Husband, who is she?"
"Jiang Yuyan, she said she is the daughter of the Jiangnan hero Jiang Biehe." Chen Liu said.
Air bangs? Wang Yuyan and Zhang Yiyue (Yaoyue) looked at Jiang Yuyan with a flickering look in their eyes. Is this the Jiang Yuyan with air bangs that her husband (Chen Liu) once talked about?
"I met her in a brothel and redeemed her." Chen Liu explained, "It was too late today and she had nowhere to go, so I brought her back. She will leave tomorrow."
"Is that so?" Wang Yuyan said with a smile, "Husband, there's no need to explain."
[I don't explain because I'm afraid you'll think too much.]
"If you, my husband, feel that I cannot satisfy you and would like to find two more sisters, how about you take Shui Sheng in as your wife?"
Shui Sheng's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in her chest.
"That's not true." Chen Liu quickly shook his head to deny it.
[I'm a little worried. Yuyan is always horny, and I can't even handle her. If there are two more, I'll be completely drained. Huh? That's not right! If there are two more, I won't have to be drained by Yuyan every night.]
Wang Yuyan: ...
Shi Feixuan, Qin Mengyao and other girls: ...
[If I had known earlier, I would have kept Wanqing and Nianci. As for Shuisheng, forget it.]
Shui Sheng: ...
Chapter 210 Jiang Yuyan (Part )
The next day, before dawn, Chen Liu, who had a sore back, woke up and was about to get up for his morning practice when he heard a crackling sound.
"Hmm?" Wang Yuyan was also awakened by the sound and asked, "Husband, what's that sound?"
"I don't know, it seems to come from the kitchen." Chen Liu sat up.
"Kitchen? Isn't it time to make breakfast yet?"
Chen Liu, Wang Yuyan, and Shui Sheng would first practice Qigong in the morning, then practice martial arts. By the time they finished, it was already quite late. The maids and servants in the house all knew their breakfast time and would not prepare breakfast so early.
"It shouldn't be them." Chen Liu put on his shoes, stood up, and said, "I'll go take a look."
Wang Yuyan also sat up, revealing her red silk bellyband. She waved at the clothes on the chair, and Chen Liu's clothes automatically flew into her hands. Chen Liu was a little envious, as he didn't have the ability to take things from the air yet.
After Wang Yuyan helped Chen Liu put on his clothes, Chen Liu followed the direction of the sound to find the kitchen and saw Jiang Yuyan busy in the kitchen.
"what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Yuyan was startled when she heard this. She turned around and saw that it was Chen Liu. She lowered her head guiltily and said in a low voice, "I, I want to make breakfast for you."
"Breakfast is taken care of by our maids and servants. They know our eating habits and when we eat breakfast." Chen Liu said, "You can go back and rest. We will leave after breakfast."
"Um, can I stay?" Jiang Yuyan asked courageously.
"Why?" Chen Liu looked at Jiang Yuyan and asked.
"I want to repay you. I can do anything." Jiang Yuyan said, "I can wash your clothes and sweep the floor for you."
"Aren't you going to look for your father?" Chen Liu asked.
"I can go to the carriage and horse shop to deliver a letter to my father." Jiang Yuyan knelt down in front of Chen Liu and said, "Please let me stay for a while. I'm afraid to live outside. I can be your maid. I don't want money. I eat very little. Just a bowl of rice is enough."
"What's wrong with her?" Chen Liu led Jiang Yuyan, who was lowering her head, back to the room. Wang Yuyan, who had also gotten up and was tying her hair with the help of Shui Sheng, asked.
"She wants to stay for a while, waiting for her father to come pick her up." Chen Liu said, "To prove that she's not just a freeloader, she thought of making breakfast for us. I'll leave it to you. If you want her to stay, then go ahead. If not, I'll take her to the inn after breakfast."
Wang Yuyan said, "Okay. I'll take care of this matter. My husband, you can go and practice."
"Okay!" Chen Liu turned and left, heading for the training room.
Wang Yuyan turned and looked at Jiang Yuyan with a half-smile on her face.
Jiang Yuyan knelt down before Wang Yuyan again and kowtowed to her, saying, "Please, Madam, take me in. I am willing to be your maid. I can do anything, and I eat very little. Just a bowl of rice will do."
"You're not staying here for this reason, are you?" Wang Yuyan asked, "What's your purpose?"
Jiang Yuyan secretly raised her eyes to glance at Wang Yuyan, and seeing her eyes fixed on her, she was frightened and quickly lowered her eyes, whispering, "I don't understand what Madam means."
"Sister, it's done." Shui Sheng said after helping Wang Yuyan insert the pearl flowers.
Wang Yuyan stood up and opened her arms. Shui Sheng took her skirt and helped her put it on.
After putting on her clothes, Wang Yuyan nodded slightly to Shui Sheng, then sat down on the chair, looking at Jiang Yuyan who was still kneeling on the ground, not daring to get up or look up.
Jiang Yuyan's forehead was slightly sweaty, and she felt a little panic in her heart. Wang Yuyan's eyes made Jiang Yuyan a little frightened, as if her eyes could see through people's hearts, making Jiang Yuyan feel very uncomfortable. When she saw Wang Yuyan's eyes last night, Jiang Yuyan was a little scared and didn't dare to look at her.
Shui Sheng took a look at the door, then turned back and nodded to Wang Yuyan, indicating that there was no one there.
"Can you hear me?" Wang Yuyan leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Jiang Yuyan, putting her under great psychological pressure.
Wang Yuyan could tempt Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao with the idea of cultivating immortality, as they were useful to both Chen Liu and her. Shi Feixuan could help her obtain the Heshi Bi, and both were Cihang Jingzhai's most outstanding disciples. They had already reached the peak of Xiantian before the age of twenty, and it was even possible that they would break through to Grandmaster status before the age of twenty. This kind of talent was extremely rare.
In addition, Cihang Jingzhai is a holy place of the righteous path. If Shi Feixuan and Qin Mengyao become their allies, or even sisters, it will be of great help to them.
But what did Jiang Yuyan have? She had nothing. Even though Chen Liu said she would become the Great Demon King in the future, that was only after she had, by chance, obtained the Flower-Transferring Technique from the Six-Ren Divine Sieve. But now the Six-Ren Divine Sieve had been taken by Yao Yue. In Hengyang, Yao Yue heard Chen Liu's thoughts and knew that the Six-Ren Divine Sieve was in Jiang Biehe's hands, so she went to take it. Without the Flower-Transferring Technique, could Jiang Yuyan still become the Great Demon King?
Moreover, her husband didn't seem to like Jiang Yuyan very much. He had other plans for saving her. But now Jiang Yuyan was plotting against her husband first, which made Wang Yuyan very unhappy. This girl was not a quiet person.
Jiang Yuyan's expression changed slightly, and she said in a panic, "Madam, I don't understand what you mean."
"Hehe! Don't think that just because you can hear what my husband is thinking, you are the protagonist." Wang Yuyan said in a low voice.
Jiang Yuyan's expression suddenly changed.
Wang Yuyan stood up and said, "We all know who you are. It's just air bangs, right?"
"You..." Jiang Yuyan was frightened. She wasn't the only one who could hear Chen Liu's thoughts? Could Wang Yuyan and the others hear them too?
"I can let you stay here temporarily. But don't play any tricks! Otherwise I will kill you." Wang Yuyan said lightly.
Of course, Wang Yuyan couldn't kill Jiang Yuyan. After all, those who could hear Chen Liu's inner thoughts couldn't kill each other with murderous intent. But Jiang Yuyan didn't know that. Furthermore, Jiang Yuyan was just an ordinary person now. If she disobeyed, Wang Yuyan wouldn't mind having someone kill her to see what the consequences would be.
The breakfast at the Chen Mansion is very rich. There are more than a dozen side dishes alone, plus other dishes such as soy milk, fried dough sticks, fried cakes, egg pancakes, meat, seafood, etc., there are thirty or forty kinds of food for breakfast alone.
Martial artists consume a lot of energy and require a lot of nutrients, so they generally tend to have large bellies, even women. And if you have money, why not spend it and save it for having children? Besides the Tianning Temple treasures he had already taken out, Chen Liu knew of many more. He was now rich enough to rival an entire nation, and he could never spend it all.
While eating breakfast, Chen Liu glanced at Jiang Yuyan, who was standing obediently behind Wang Yuyan, and asked, "Should we keep her?"
"Let her stay for a while." Wang Yuyan said, "After breakfast, Shui Sheng will accompany her to mail the letter and ask her father to pick her up."
"Okay, sister." Shui Sheng raised her head and gave Wang Yuyan a smile.
