Seeing Xiao Yu's infatuated expression, Sister Hong didn't relax at all... she remained very wary of Xiao Yu.

I heard that after Lin's mother was taken away, she was imprisoned in Dali Temple and there has been no news of her since.

Hongjie is now in Lin's mother's position, and she dares not underestimate Xiao Yu, this crazy guy!

"They killed Liu Yunfei, confronted Duke Liu, and even killed Liu Quan..."

Hongjie wore a charming smile, but in her heart she wondered whether Xiao Yu had really come to Baoyue Tower to seek pleasure.

News of Liu Quan's beheading quickly spread throughout the capital.

Moreover, the details of Li Lei and Zhang Xin's murders were made public, and everyone condemned Liu Quan for deserving to die!

When Liu Quan was spreading rumors and slandering Xiao Yu, many people gathered at the entrance of Xiao Wangfu to watch the spectacle. When the case suddenly took a turn for the better, these onlookers quickly spread the truth.

"Liu Quan deserves to die! He even framed the Xiao family, a family of loyal martyrs, in an attempt to harm Xiao Yu!"

"Isn't it because Xiao Yu killed Liu Yunfei, and Liu Quan wants to avenge his son Liu Yunfei?"

"In short, Liu Quan deserves to die! He killed someone else's son just to avenge his own son; he's a complete scoundrel."

"Xiao Yu did a good job killing him..."

As the people spread the word, news of Liu Quan's beheading and conviction quickly spread.

This matter reached the ears of Duke Liu and his group, and naturally also reached the ears of Sister Hong, who had been keeping a close eye on Xiao Yu.

Therefore, this time, Sister Hong directly sent the courtesan Ningxiang to serve Xiao Yu, to see if he would reveal any of his inner thoughts in the face of Ningxiang's beauty.

"In the end, he was a lecherous man."

Seeing Xiao Yu with Ningxiang on one arm and the other on the other, his face showing a drooling expression, Sister Hong couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "No man is immune to lust!"

Soon, to Xiao Yu's anticipation... or rather, to the anticipation of all the men, Ningxiang emerged.

Under the dim light, a stunningly beautiful woman slowly entered the crowd's view.

She seemed to have stepped out of a painting. The moment she appeared, most people stared wide-eyed, forgetting to even breathe... At this moment, breathing would only prevent them from appreciating Ningxiang's beauty.

It was as if only by holding one's breath and focusing all one's attention on Ningxiang could time be frozen.

"It really is beautiful."

Xiao Yu said with a smile.

At the same time, he added in his mind, "But compared to Shen Youyu, she's still a little lacking."

Shen Youyu is known as the number one courtesan in the capital... the number one in the capital, and almost the number one in the entire Xia Dynasty, since in everyone's mind, women from the capital are definitely more beautiful than women from other places.

Ningxiang, however, did not have this title, nor did she dare to use it.

She was merely the most beautiful courtesan at Baoyue Tower.

The title of "most beautiful courtesan of Baoyue Tower" was only given to her after Shen Youyu left.

However, Ningxiang's beauty is different from Shen Youyu's. Ningxiang has a delicate and charming beauty that makes men want to protect and possess her. Shen Youyu's charm is naked and unabashed, making men want to conquer her!

Xiao Yu looked Ningxiang up and down. She was wearing a long dress embroidered with gold phoenixes. The hem of the dress swayed gently, making her look both noble and graceful.

Her hair was like a waterfall, jet black and glossy, gently tied into an intricate and delicate bun, with a few stray strands falling casually across her forehead, adding a touch of effortless charm.

A few small beaded flowers adorned her hair, trembling gently with her steps and shimmering with a soft light.

"With a graceful figure, delicate features, and picturesque eyebrows... she possesses both the innocence of a young girl and a captivating charm."

Xiao Yu mentally summarized Ningxiang's appearance.

"Greetings, Young Master Xiao."

Ningxiang walked up to Xiao Yu, her face showing a gentle smile and a polite expression: "I have long admired Young Master Xiao. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed a man of exceptional talent and handsome appearance."

"Miss Ningxiang did not disappoint me either."

Xiao Yu let go of the ordinary women around him... They weren't really ordinary women, but they became so after Ningxiang appeared.

Xiao Yu released them, took half a step forward to get closer to Ningxiang, and said with a smile, "If you had known earlier that Miss Ningxiang was so beautiful, you wouldn't have heard so much about me, but would feel like you're meeting an old friend again!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu reached out and grabbed Ningxiang's small hand.

"Compared to Sister Shen, I am far inferior... How could Young Master Shen be an old acquaintance of mine?"

Ningxiang pretended to be sad, and her delicate face made people want to protect her.

She deliberately refused, wanting to see if Xiao Yu would try to coax her.

Ningxiang is heartbroken!

"Damn it, why did Young Master Xiao have to hurt Miss Ningxiang's feelings?"

"Even if he is a once-in-a-century genius in the poetry world of Great Xia, I still can't help myself. Anyone who dares to make Miss Ningxiang unhappy is my mortal enemy!"

"Oh, I'm so envious!"

The men around... It wasn't just the scholars who liked Ningxiang; they watched from the sidelines, feeling very uncomfortable.

Those young women who had just been vying for attention were also feeling equally distressed.

They had a different opinion from these stinky men; they all gritted their teeth at Ningxiang, wishing they could slap this little bitch.

"A bitch is just being pretentious!"

"She clearly wanted nothing more than to offer herself to him, yet she used a scheme against Young Master Xiao, feigning reluctance before actually doing so!"

"In our Baoyue Tower, she's the only one who knows how to play the victim, humph!"

"Heh...playing the victim? You have no idea how Ningxiang works!"

Hongjie smiled, thinking, "As expected, Ningxiang knows how to manipulate men. Tonight, she'll definitely get Xiao Yu to open up."

Then, Sister Hong whispered to the maid behind her, "I have other things to do. Keep an eye on things. As soon as Xiao Yu leaves Ningxiang's ten-step range, come and tell me immediately."

"yes."

The maid nodded and then stood next to Ningxiang.

She was originally Ningxiang's maid, and this action went unnoticed by anyone... except for Xiao Yu, of course!

On the surface, Xiao Yu was bewitched by beauty, but his attention was always on Sister Hong. This madam's methods were obviously much better than Lin Mama's.

Moreover, Ningxiang is one of their people... However, Xiao Yu doesn't care.

He asked Shen Youyu and learned that there were several rooms on the third floor where outsiders were not allowed to enter. Among these rooms, there should be one where Mr. Di was staying, and he was being protected by a grandmaster.

If you try to steal the ledger directly, you'll definitely be discovered, and you'll alert the enemy!

Courtesans of Ningxiang's caliber had rooms on the third floor...

"Every flower has its own unique beauty."

Xiao Yu reached out and gently touched Ningxiang's delicate oval face, smiling as he said, "In my eyes, even compared to Shen Youyu, you are in no way inferior in terms of looks!"
