"Isn't that the top courtesan from the House of Blossoms?" "Yes, what is she doing here?"
"But she's truly a beauty!" "It's quite a stroke of luck to see her without paying today!"
Liu Yue Die was wrapped in a cloak. She had tried to dress inconspicuously when she came out, but she still attracted a crowd.
She stood in front of the Shan'an Restaurant, looking a bit embarrassed as she listened to the gossiping. At this moment, Yun Jiu came out and quickly tried to control the situation when he saw what was happening.
"Miss Yue Die, may I ask what brings you here?" Yun Jiu inquired.
"Oh, I'm here to find Young Master Bai!" Liu Yue Die explained her purpose to Yun Jiu.
Seeing the growing crowd in front of the restaurant, Yun Jiu supported her and whispered, "Come inside with me first!"
Just then, Yun Yi also came out. He shouted aggressively towards the crowd, "Disperse, everyone!"
Seeing that Liu Yue Die had already gone inside and Yun Yi was so fierce, the onlookers scattered one by one.
Yun Jiu led Liu Yue Die into a private room. "Please wait here for a while. I'll go find our manager!"
The diners in the Shan'an Restaurant were also quite curious when they saw Liu Yue Die and started whispering among themselves.
Yun Jiu was a bit annoyed when he heard them. He immediately closed the door of the private room, fearing that the words might reach Miss Yue Die's ears.
At this time, Bai Chen had already returned without anyone noticing. Yun Jiu told him that Miss Yue Die from the House of Blossoms was here to see him, and he was quite surprised.
He pushed open the door of the private room and saw Liu Yue Die. He asked coldly, "Miss Yue Die, what do you want from me?"
When Liu Yue Die saw Bai Chen, she immediately knelt in front of him, grabbing the corner of his robe. "Young Master Bai, I have feelings for you. I know that as a courtesan, I'm not worthy of you, but if you're willing, I'm willing to serve you for the rest of my life..."
Liu Yue Die looked at Bai Chen with eager eyes, showing her lovable side to the fullest. It was believed that any man would find it hard to reject her at this moment.
Faced with Liu Yue Die's sudden confession, Yun Jiu was stunned on the side.
Bai Chen frowned slightly and looked at her coldly. He just pulled back his feet.
"Miss Yue Die, I don't know if you're in any trouble. If you are, you can tell me. For the sake of our past acquaintance, I'll do my best to help you. But I can't keep you by my side. If this is the only reason you came here today, then please leave!"
Bai Chen said bluntly and coldly.
Maybe Liu Yue Die was too confident in herself. After all, she was the top courtesan of the House of Blossoms. Which man didn't fall at her feet and spend a fortune just to make her smile? But she never expected that Bai Chen would reject her so coldly and straightforwardly!
She slumped to the ground, looking helpless. She said despairingly, "I'm sorry. I was too impulsive. I'm sorry for disturbing you..."
Master Bai Chen is really heartless! Facing such a beauty, he could say such heartless words. She's the kind of beauty that many men would dream of! No wonder he's Master Bai Chen. He's truly something!
Just then, Wan Ruo happened to come back and saw Liu Yue Die running out sobbing.
What happened? Did I miss something?
Wan Ruo walked up to Yun Jiu and whispered, "What's going on? Isn't that the top courtesan from the House of Blossoms? What is she doing here?"
Uh... Yun Jiu looked embarrassed for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Wan Ruo's question...
Seeing that Yun Jiu didn't say anything for a long time, Wan Ruo guessed, "Could it be that she was bullied by that guy Bai Chen? Otherwise, why would she be crying so bitterly?"
She didn't know that Bai Chen was standing right behind her at this moment, glaring at her with a dark expression.
Wan Ruo felt a chill down her spine. When she turned around, she saw Bai Chen's sharp eyes staring at her. She swallowed nervously.
Before she could react, Bai Chen grabbed her by the collar and dragged her away!
Yun Jiu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
On the other hand, in the Prince of Pingnan's Mansion, Qin Man Man felt a bit shy when she looked at You Guang. Although he looked a bit sickly, he was still a handsome man. More importantly, he had a noble status!
"Thank you for saving me last night. I didn't go home last night. I'm afraid my family will worry about me, so I'll take my leave first!"
Since Wan Ruo left, Qin Man Man seemed to understand something from her words. So she bid farewell to Si Hong Xi and the others.
When she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, she went straight to Prime Minister Wei's study and closed the door and windows tightly.
By this time, Prime Minister Wei had almost recovered.
Qin Man Man walked up to him and asked directly, "Father, I've been having short - term amnesia at night recently. I can't remember what I've done. Is this related to the matter of selling my soul last time?"
Prime Minister Wei took a deep breath and sighed, "You're right. When your soul is being controlled, you have no self - awareness, so naturally you won't remember what you've done!"
Hearing this, Qin Man Man was shocked.
"If that's the case, if someone uses me as a tool to do things like murder and looting, and I don't even know about it, then I'm doomed!"
Qin Man Man slumped to the ground and said despairingly.
"Theoretically, it is so. That's why I tried to dissuade you at that time. But it was your own choice, and now it's a done deal. There's nothing we can do. However, although the Soul - Controlling Technique can control you to do some things, generally, they won't let you get into too much danger easily!"
Although this was just Prime Minister Wei's attempt to console her, Qin Man Man naturally knew this.
It seemed that she had really sold herself this time. Qin Man Man looked worried.
An Yao and You Guang also returned to the palace together.
You Guang escorted An Yao back to the Yiru Palace.
"Second Brother, look at you. You look much better after going out. Don't always shut yourself up in the room in the future. You should go out more often!" An Yao advised.
You Guang doted on her and said, "I know, silly girl. Don't worry!"
"Second Brother, you can come and play with me anytime you're free. Your little sister will always be here for you!" An Yao said playfully.
"Alright, alright, alright! Go inside quickly!" You Guang waved his hand, his eyes full of affection.
As soon as You Guang turned around, his eyes instantly turned cold.
At night, a mysterious figure flew through the night sky of the palace.
He entered a residence. "Reporting to my lord, that guy seems to be getting closer to finding out about us!"
"Humph! He's really a stumbling block on our path to success. But it won't be easy to deal with him. You should start with the woman beside him. She's his weak point!"
"Your subordinate understands!"
Even through the screen, one could feel the cold and murderous look in the lord's eyes.
The night was thick. The silvery - white moonlight shone on the ground, and the chirping of crickets could be heard everywhere. The quietness made the chirping sound even clearer.
The gentle evening breeze blew through the leaves, making a rustling sound. Everything seemed so beautiful!
In the backyard of the Shan'an Restaurant, Wan Ruo and Bai Chen were sitting by the pond chatting.
"Miss Yue Die is really too beautiful. Even I, a girl, can't help but be attracted to her. Are you really not interested in her?" Wan Ruo looked at Bai Chen curiously.
Bai Chen just snorted and replied, "She is indeed a beauty. But she's not my type!"
"Then what kind of woman do you like?" Wan Ruo asked curiously.
