Chapter 838: Chapter 735, Full Set
Luo Honghao had followed Xiao Yeyang all the way to the Western Sect, and he personally watched as Xiao Yeyang embraced a woman and entered a mansion, and he never came out again.
"Is he really out for flowers and willows?"
Regarding Xiao Yeyang, who was immersed in desires, Luo Honghao always felt a strong sense of discomfort.
It was not solely because of his noble birth that Xiao Yeyang had been specially appointed by the Emperor as a third-ranked Commandant of the Jinling Guard in his prime, if it weren’t for his exceptional abilities, he couldn’t have subdued his subordinates.
It was said that during his time at the Northern Frontier, in order to capture the members of the Eight Princes Party, he had resolutely led his men to hold their ground for seven days and nights; such an individual surely possessed astonishing self-control.
Yet, Xiao Yeyang’s hasty demeanor regarding women tonight was exceedingly incongruent with his usual conduct.
Luo Honghao frowned as he gazed at the mansion Xiao Yeyang had entered, and after a while, a Hidden Guard reported.
"Eldest Young Master, I found out that the woman Xiao Yeyang took away is the top courtesan of Huaman Building, her stage name is Yi Niang, and I hear from those below that she is quite beautiful."
Luo Honghao’s expression shifted slightly, Xiao Yeyang had grown up unrestrained and mostly spent time away from home, so keeping a courtesan didn’t seem peculiar.
After a moment of silence, Luo Honghao spoke to his subordinates, "You all keep a close watch here, but don’t get too close to avoid being discovered."
After giving a few instructions, Luo Honghao left; he still had to continue searching for Dong Yuanyao.
...
Twenty meters away, inside the mansion.
Dressed anew, Daohua emerged from the house and saw in the living room the restlessly seated An Xi and Yi Niang, as well as Xiao Yeyang, who was leisurely drinking tea.
Daohua walked over and bowed to An Xi and Yi Niang, "Master An, this lady... Miss, thank you both for your help tonight."
An Xi and Yi Niang quickly stood up to return the gesture.
An Xi shook his head, "Miss, you’re too polite; we didn’t do much."
Yi Niang stood behind An Xi, nodding along.
Seeing that both seemed somewhat fearful of Xiao Yeyang, Daohua didn’t say more and sat down next to Xiao Yeyang, asking in a low voice, "Why did you bring them here?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, "I told you, Luo Honghao isn’t easy to deceive, and his men are watching us right now. The performance... must be complete."
As he spoke, he glanced at Defu.
Defu immediately placed a wooden box in front of Yi Niang.
Yi Niang puzzled, "What’s this?"
Defu smiled, "This is your contract of sale, as well as the deeds to this mansion."
Yi Niang was stunned and instinctively looked at An Xi.
An Xi then turned to Daohua, "May I ask what this means?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Yi Niang, countering her question, "Don’t you want to redeem yourself?"
Yi Niang shook her head, "No, I do, I’ve dreamed of it." But the house madam at Huaman Building considered her a cash cow and never allowed her to redeem herself and turn over a new leaf. Looking at the contract of sale in front of her, she was still in disbelief.
Tonight, she had just helped the busy An Xi take garments up the stairs!
Xiao Yeyang said, "That’s fine then, just remember, the person in the second-floor room tonight is you."
Yi Niang, who had grown up around all kinds of people and was always perceptive, looked at Daohua and instantly understood Xiao Yeyang’s intentions.
Yes, the reputation of the ladies of the aristocratic families must remain untarnished, so tonight, the person with Mr. Xiao had to be someone else.
Xiao Yeyang continued, "Don’t worry about anyone coming to trouble you. No one dares to enter this mansion, and after a while, you can leave or stay as you wish."
Yi Niang wasn’t sure if she should accept this, and looked at An Xi.
An Xi looked at Daohua, whose gaze was as clear as ever, and nodded at her.
Thus, Yi Niang stood and bowed, "Thank you, benefactor."
Xiao Yeyang then turned to An Xi, "This mansion is a thank you gift for tonight, what happened tonight..."
"We won’t speak a word about it," An Xi and Yi Niang said in unison, both aware that to these nobles, such a mansion was trivial, thus they didn’t refuse.
Pleased, Xiao Yeyang nodded, "Good, I’ll have someone take you both to have a look around the mansion."
"The conversation ended, and the waiting maid at the door stepped forward.
An Xi and Nursie bowed to Xiao Yeyang and Daohua before turning to leave.
Only after leaving the courtyard did Nursie, unable to believe her circumstances, pull An Xi aside and ask, ’An Xi, are we dreaming?’
An Xi smiled, thinking of the hardships Nursie endured at Huaman Building, a look of pity flashed across her eyes. ’We are not dreaming. From today onward, you won’t have to return to Huaman Building; you are free now.’
Hearing An Xi’s confirmation, a wide smile spread across Nursie’s face, but soon tears streamed down her cheeks. ’Tonight, when I heard that the Duke Residence’s people were capturing folks, I was really worried that those two ladies would implicate you... I never imagined... I never imagined...’
An Xi squeezed her hand and shook her head. ’Let’s not bring up tonight’s event again. We never saw those two ladies.’
Nursie glanced at the maid walking behind them and quickly nodded. ’I remember.’ She said and joyfully examined the deed of her servitude and the house title in her hands.
’With this house, once you leave Qing Garden, you’ll have a place to settle.’
An Xi smiled but did not respond.
For people like us from the lowest strata, during hard times, everyone wants to stand out, but even after standing out, one can’t control their own life.
Nursie, being the top courtesan, couldn’t redeem herself as the madam wouldn’t allow it; I am the mainstay of Qing Garden, the troupe owner wouldn’t allow me to leave either.
Opportunities like today are rare.
Though there are risks, if one encounters the right opportunity, it truly can change their destiny.
...
Inside the house.
As soon as An Xi and Nursie left, Defu reported to Xiao Yeyang, ’Master Luo has left, leaving only a few to keep watch here.’
Xiao Yeyang hummed, ’Is the carriage ready?’
Defu nodded, ’It has been ready.’
Xiao Yeyang stood up, pulling up Daohua with him.
Daohua, looking puzzled, asked, ’Where are we going?’
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and smiled, ’What, don’t you want to go home?’
Daohua paused, ’Of course, I do. Let’s hurry then.’ She said and took the lead.
Xiao Yeyang laughed and followed her, speaking to Defu as they walked, ’Tomorrow morning find someone who looks like me to show up in front of the Luo Family.’
Defu nodded, ’I understand.’
Soon, Xiao Yeyang and Daohua left the residence and boarded the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Daohua hesitated but still asked, ’What happened to the third young master of the Luo Family?’
Xiao Yeyang’s expression was calm, ’He’s dead.’
Daohua immediately furrowed her brows in silence.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang took her into his arms, ’A family rises and falls together, and today’s disaster was seeded by the Dong Family’s main branch.’
According to his knowledge, Miss Dong’s arranged engagement with Luo Hongyuan was significantly pushed by the Dong Family’s main branch.
Old Master Dong, biased towards his first wife’s son, Dong Dala, only saw the glamour of the Duke Residence and agreed to marry his granddaughter off without thoroughly investigating Luo Hongyuan’s character. Luo Hongyuan... thinking of the information gathered by his subordinates, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes turned slightly cold. These aristocratic families had too many dirty affairs internally.
Daohua immediately said, ’Yuanyao mentioned that her second brother tricked her into coming out.’ With a display of anger, she added, ’Why did the second young master of the Dong Family want to harm Yuanyao?’
Xiao Yeyang sneered coldly, ’The Dong Family has fallen into hard times, attaching themselves to the Duke Residence would naturally seem beneficial.’
Daohua frowned, ’But something feels wrong about today’s affair. Yuanyao has always been dissatisfied with the main Dong Family branch and rarely interacted with them. How could she easily go out with her second brother today?’
Xiao Yeyang fiddled with a strand of Daohua’s hair as he spoke, ’Didn’t you ask the young lady?’
Daohua replied, ’Yuanyao had just been through that ordeal; how could I question her then?’
Xiao Yeyang said, ’Don’t worry over it here. Your third and fourth brothers should have already gone to meet Yuanxuan; they will handle this.’
Daohua’s concern remained, ’With the death of the third young master Luo, the Dong Family and the Luo Family now have a deadly feud.’
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flickered, but he remained silent."
