The roof over his head had already been closed, and outside the curtain, a small oil lamp in the corner lit up again. The dim light shone from afar, but it was only in that small area, almost in darkness.

"Who are you?" She scrambled up to the edge of the pool and looked in horror at the cold water that made her teeth clench.

A low laugh accompanied the sound of water as the man's tall figure slowly leaned forward. Yu Yan was so scared that she almost suffocated.

The man's long hair fell into the water. Although his face couldn't be seen clearly, one could still make out his handsome silhouette. His eyes, in particular, were like the starry sky of a deep night, obscuring the depths of his vision.

There was a strange aroma in the room, and the man's breath was wet with medicine as he drew closer to her face.

"What did I catch, a little female thief?" He narrowed his eyes and suddenly pounced on her like a cheetah, pinning her to the edge of the pool.

"Let me go …" I am... "I am not a female thief, I am a man, I am a man. Jin Fu, I have come to negotiate with you."

Yu Yan struggled a few more times before she held her down even more tightly, causing all the blood in her body to gush towards her head.

However, she had clearly seen this wealthy merchant with the gold surname. He was extremely thin and had a head full of scoundrels. How could he … She suddenly widened her eyes. Had she come through the wrong door? There were more than a dozen of these alleys on this street, and the sedan bearers could not avoid making a mistake as the doors were being pushed open.

"I'm sorry, I went through the wrong door. Please let me go!"

She started to tremble. The man's strong body was pressing down on her!

"Yu Dazhang should be a man, why did he have such a big chest?"

He sneered and tore her clothes.

She was still like a bright peony flower that had never been touched, and had never seen the beauty under her clothes.

"I beg you, let me go, I'm …"

Who is she? The King Xiao's Consort? Yu Yan suddenly felt very sad. She hadn't even seen her husband's face, and so she became a laughing widow, insisting that she ignore her father's good name and break the engagement with the loyal Yun Family and marry the cruel King Xiao that everyone hated and killed, so she deserved retribution.

But who knew what her suffering was? Her father doted on her, loved her, and after her mother died, he never rejoined her, not even a concubine. He took care of her wholeheartedly, and although she was poor, the days when her father and daughter lived together were the happiest and most desirable days for her.

But, such a good father had been murdered! Yu Shi Shi was a straightforward and honest person, disdaining to marry a powerful noble. She was betrothed to the loyal Yun Family who was in charge of guarding the border. After her father died in injustice, she had clenched her teeth and annulled the engagement, drawing out her relationship with the Yun Family so as to not implicate the Yun Family.

What could she have done with the divine will? Rebellion? In any case, she didn't want to have a husband like that anymore. She only wanted to avenge her father.

It was a pity that things did not turn out as they wished. He had ruined the reputation of an evil woman!

For three years, she had endured the ridicule and mockery of the world. Her monthly salary was deducted by the eunuchs, and she had nothing to go out for, so she couldn't even stay in the Duke Palaces. She could only stay in the King Xiao Courtyard.

Fortunately, she had been familiar with her father's script since she was young and knew the Houqing Kingdom Code by heart. Thus, she decided to dress up as a man and pass herself off as An. Today, she had come to look for evidence that the evil merchant Jin Gui had caused his death!

This was the first time she had failed! The heavy rain and the pool water had even wet the medicine she used to save her life, and it no longer worked.

"You're crying?" The man's long fingers brushed the corners of her eyes, making her tremble even more.

Yu Yan's eyes suddenly widened, what, what is he doing?

The little oil lamp went out! The room was completely enveloped in darkness. He could only hear the soft patter of the water, and his breathing became heavier …

Yu Yan's body became tighter and tighter, and her trembling became more and more intense. This man's long finger actually continuously moved downwards, lightly landing on her neck.

"I'm crying!" He spoke in a low voice and pinched his fingers.

She groaned as she felt her vision darken, nearly fainting on the spot.

"Heh, the little female thief that was delivered, should I kill her or not?" He chuckled.

Yu Yan bit her lips tightly, not allowing herself to make the slightest sound.

"Speak, who sent you?"

His palm grabbed her little face and impolitely pressed onto the edge of the pool. Her wanton fingers became even more impolite, causing Yu Yan to feel like she was about to die, and become even more suffocated.

But his purpose did not seem to be to kill her. Slowly, he loosened his grip and let the air seep into her lungs.

She bit the corner of her lips, not letting herself scream. She forced herself to calm down and said to him fiercely: "Evil thief, either let me go, or you kill me. Or else tomorrow morning I will have the officials raze this place to the ground. Although the King Xiao is no longer here, my cousin is Emperor Xi's imperial elder sister-in-law, receiving a salary of one grade … If you dare touch me, my cousin will play the emperor and kill your entire clan! I won't let your family reincarnate! "

Dead silence! His fingers slowly stopped being cruel.

Just when Yu Yan thought that she was scared, an even more terrifying thing suddenly happened. He was leaning over her.

"It seems like I can't let this little female thief who calls herself Cousin Wangfei go even further. Why don't I have a good time first and then become a ghost? It won't be an injustice for me."

He sneered, as if to frighten her, but also as if there was such a thing?

His eyes were like a Taotie's, wanting to enjoy the most delicious delicacy in the world. The water in the pool was shaken by the struggling bodies of the two as water splashed endlessly.

How could Yu Yan be his opponent? Soon he was in control of herself, her eyes weak as she stared at the rippling waves, in pain and shame.

She suddenly remembered that she had heard from the muse of the biggest love house in the capital that this kind of man only wanted to enjoy himself. She also heard from the singer that this kind of man had taught her some ways to deal with this kind of evil person …

She began to try to bend, to break free of his grip, to strike at his weak spot.

However, as if he had seen through her intentions, his breathing became heavier, and he pinched her face with his palm, ridiculing her: "What, little cousin, you want to play tricks?"

"I dare not …" Yu Yan secretly whined as she shook her head.

"Then I want to see whether you are going to say it or not …" He sneered and tossed her into the cold water.

She kept sinking down, feeling dizzy as he pulled her up and tossed her to the edge of the pool. He covered her as well … After the pain, he would not wake up …

After an unknown period of time, his cold voice suddenly sounded beside his ears. "Come see me every month at the fifteenth, or else I'll let everyone in the city know that King Xiao's imperial concubine is such a terrible person."
