She was just the madam of a brothel, and she couldn't afford to offend any of them.
When everyone heard that today's competition was over, they didn't raise much objection. After all, they already had a more exciting topic to discuss.
So, in the noisy crowd, no one noticed that Gu Ruobai, who had been quiet all along, was gone.
...
After much entanglement, the King of Yu finally came to his senses.
He looked at Su Yueyue sleeping beside him and ruffled his hair irritably.
He was sure that he had been set up.
But by whom? Su Mingyu? But she had fainted with him!
Wait a minute, Su Mingyu?
Since he had encountered such a thing, what about Su Mingyu? Would she have been...
Just thinking about Su Mingyu being held in the arms of a strange man, the King of Yu's eyes darkened suddenly. Without even thinking, he dressed quickly and left the room.
After he left, Su Yueyue, who had just been sleeping soundly, opened her misty eyes.
Watching the King of Yu's back, Su Yueyue clenched her fists tightly.
Although she didn't understand what was going on, she had given herself to the King of Yu.
She must get a proper title. Moreover, so many people in the brothel had witnessed this scene today. If the King of Yu didn't marry her, it would be unreasonable.
Su Yueyue, who was secretly delighted, even ignored the fact that the King of Yu had left after such a thing happened between them.
Su Yueyue's heart was now filled with the joy of becoming a princess. As for her reputation, it was nothing compared to the position of the Princess of Yu.
On this side, the King of Yu came out of the room and went straight to the second floor on one side. When he reached the room where they had fainted, he didn't see Su Mingyu.
His face darkened. The King of Yu casually grabbed a person and asked, "Where's the madam?"
The man pointed tremblingly at the front. The King of Yu strode over. Without caring about what was going on inside, he kicked open the door.
The madam was originally very angry, but when she saw that it was the King of Yu, her legs went weak immediately. "Your... Your Highness, the King of Yu? You... You're awake?"
The King of Yu didn't care about her ugly face. He asked in a deep voice, "Where's that young master Su who was with me?"
The madam thought for a while. "After seeing that something had happened to you, the people of the King of Ruixian immediately came to look for him. I don't know if they found him later. It was too chaotic at that time. But since the King of Ruixian has already gone back, he should have found him."
Taken away by Gu Ruobai?
The King of Yu's cold eyes softened a little. "You must give this king an explanation for today's matter!"
Although the madam was a heroic woman, she was a little scared when she saw that the King of Yu was really angry. "Yes, yes, yes! I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter clearly and restore your and Miss Su Yueyue's innocence."
"Miss Su Yueyue?" The King of Yu questioned the madam coldly.
The madam felt a little uneasy under his gaze. "T... They all said she was Miss Su Yueyue."
Reminded by the madam, the King of Yu suddenly remembered that there were many people present at that time. Su Yueyue was a well - known young lady in the capital anyway, so it was not strange that someone recognized her.
But this would be troublesome.
The King of Yu narrowed his eyes. "Tell someone to carry a bucket of hot water to my room to serve me, and prepare a carriage for me."
The madam nodded repeatedly. "Okay, okay, okay. I'll go and give the order right away."
Seeing the madam running out in a hurry, the King of Yu frowned irritably. It seemed that it wasn't the madam. Her fear of him was just out of awe, not guilt.
Su Yueyue waited for the King of Yu for a long time, but finally only waited for a maid and a bucket of hot water?
Su Yueyue's face immediately dropped. "Where's the King of Yu! I want to see the King of Yu!"
The maid quickly shook her head. "This maid doesn't know. I was just called by the madam to serve the young lady."
"I want to see the King of Yu! Get out! Get out! Get out!"
Su Yueyue picked up the shoes on the ground and threw them at the maid.
The little maid didn't dare to dodge and took several hits.
But Su Yueyue still wasn't satisfied. She got out of bed, came to the table, and grabbed the kettle and cups on the table and continued to throw.
A cup hit the maid's forehead. Su Yueyue's tone was as vicious as it could be. "Who do you think you are, still trying to serve me! Get out! Go and invite the King of Yu here!"
The maid shook her head crying. She really didn't know where the King of Yu was!
Seeing that she didn't move, Su Yueyue kicked her angrily. The maid fell against a pillar, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
Not hearing the crying anymore, Su Yueyue turned around and saw the blood under the maid's head. The glaring red made Su Yueyue regain a little bit of her senses.
She frowned, wrapped herself in the quilt, and sat down. Something was wrong. How did the madam know that she was awake?
It must have been the King of Yu's order. Maybe the King of Yu was just being considerate of her, so he had someone send the hot water. The King of Yu must still be waiting outside.
Thinking this way, Su Yueyue felt much better. She washed and changed as quickly as possible.
When she walked out of the room, she deliberately lifted her skirt so that it wouldn't touch the blood on the ground, not even sparing a glance at the maid.
Sure enough, not long after Su Yueyue walked out, she saw the madam.
"Miss Su~ You've finished washing? The King of Yu is waiting for you at the back door."
Hearing what the madam said, a look of pride appeared on Su Yueyue's face. "By the way, that maid you sent was really rude. When I told her to get out, she fell on her own. Go and take a look at her."
The madam smiled obsequiously. "Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely teach her a good lesson later."
After saying that, she made a very respectful gesture of invitation. "Miss Su, don't keep the King of Yu waiting. Go quickly."
Su Yueyue snorted arrogantly and then turned around happily.
As soon as she reached the back door, she really saw the King of Yu's carriage. Su Yueyue adjusted the expression on her face, trying not to show how happy she was too much. Then she came to the carriage.
Just as she was about to get into the carriage, she suddenly felt weak in the knees and let out a coquettish cry. "Oh~"
Hearing her voice, the King of Yu immediately got out of the carriage. Seeing that Su Yueyue's face was a little pale, his eyes flashed as he recalled the red on the bedsheet. Unconsciously, a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.
He picked up Su Yueyue in his arms and said in a low, gentle voice, "Hold on tight."
Feeling the King of Yu's hot breath in her ear, Su Yueyue lowered her head, blushing like a tomato. "Um..."
After getting into the carriage, Su Yueyue originally wanted to break free from the King of Yu's arms.
But the King of Yu just held her tighter. "Don't move. The carriage is too hard."
Su Yueyue bit her lip and blushed. "Your Highness, the King of Yu... You're so kind to me."
The King of Yu hooked the corner of his mouth into a smile but didn't say a word.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Su Yueyue bit her lower lip, as if hesitating about something.
The King of Yu sensed it keenly. He looked at Su Yueyue in confusion. "What's wrong?"
