Fu Xu continued, “I came back late because I’ve taken a fancy to a few more. One of them was a n.o.ble’s son, so I had to give him a try, so I went to that person’s house. That person’s family was much more tactful and immediately said that they would send their son to my residence in two days, unlike Ni Dingyuan, who had to be captured against his will.”
“That kid doesn’t know what’s good for him! Your Highness, you must have thought too highly of him. It was his fortune to encounter you in this life. When he entered the palace, didn’t he use all his skills to charm your cousin and fool around? If he doesn’t fight for favor, he will only be bullied and won’t be able to stand out at all. Your Highness, you always say that you love to fight for love… Do you even mean it…”
After saying that, she pretended to be angry, and her eyes kept on shooting daggers at Fu Xu.
Fu Xu’s interest was piqued and he pressed her down to the bed.
The moment Xue Yan saw it, he was startled and immediately covered Jiang Yue’s eyes, his other hand hurriedly covering the tile back.
When he couldn’t see anything, he withdrew his hand that was covering Jiang Yue’s eyes. Not only were his ears burning, but the palm that had covered Jiang Yue’s eyes was also frighteningly hot.
He felt extremely uncomfortable in this state.
However, because Fu Xu and his consort seemed to be unafraid of being overheard, they were quite vocal with what they were doing. Xue Yan, who was usually shy and reserved, felt even more uneasy. He wanted to leave immediately, but he was with Jiang Yue. He could only bite the bullet and point his finger below, indicating for Jiang Yue to quickly jump down with him.
Jiang Yue, on the other hand, was very calm. She didn’t over a.n.a.lyze the situation and jumped down with him.
They were very far away from the main courtyard, but Xue Yan was still feeling flushed.
Jiang Yue still did not react.
Xue Yan stole a glance at her. To be honest, there were times when he admired Jiang Yue; she was unbothered by many things in life.
They checked the other places in Prince Xu’s estate and found nothing wrong. Only then did they go to the woodshed to confirm if the beggar was Wufu.
Ever since the beggar was captured and brought to Prince Xu’s estate, he had been beaten up every day and was on the verge of death. With this, the people of Prince Xu’s estate were not afraid that he would run away. No one was guarding the woodshed and only a simple lock was placed on the door.
Xue Yan casually opened this lock.
Then, he walked in with Jiang Yue.
The woodshed was very dark. Even with the moonlight shining in, he could only see a general layout of the room. The smell inside was very unpleasant, but through the moonlight, he could vaguely see a person lying inside.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue walked over. Then, Xue Yan lit up a small torch found in the room, illuminating the person lying on the ground, which was the beggar’s face.
Although the beggar’s face was covered in blood, he could still tell that it was not Wufu.
The beggar was so badly injured that he couldn’t even speak. He had fainted. If he wasn’t treated, he might die tonight. Therefore, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t agree on anything and tacitly took the beggar out of Prince Xu’s residence.
He got someone to treat the beggar and placed him in a safe place.
He planned to ask him who he was when he woke up.
Fu Xu was a Prince of Beicheng, but he was making things difficult for a beggar. Why was he prying information from a beggar? This was too strange…
