Song Lin hugged her tightly and whispered, "You are not dirty. Only people with unclean hearts will see everything as dirty! Who said no one wants you? I want you. I want to marry you as my wife."

Shen Xu was silent for a long time, letting him hug her tightly. Her heart, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to start beating disorderly again, gradually becoming powerful and resounding.

"Thank you, Constable Song. Without you, I might have been sold to a brothel."

She broke free from his embrace, smiled in relief, then looked up and said seriously, "Although I saved you and you saved me, I don't want you to marry me out of sympathy or pity, or to repay a favor. If you marry me just because you were saved, that's coercion, not repayment."

"I don't want to coerce you, nor do I want to kidnap you in the name of repaying a favor. I don't need anyone's sympathy either. There will always be tragedies in this world that leave us powerless. Even if I'm stuck in the quagmire, with no light to see, I won't give up on myself."

Song Lin stared at her beautiful eyes in a daze. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked silly and often spoke shockingly, could have such insight.

"girl……"

"Although you are good-looking and have abdominal muscles, I will not covet beauty. Unless you like me a little bit..., I will marry you." Shen Xu blushed and gave a vague reason. Holding the wooden basin in his hand, he turned around and quickly opened the door.

"What's 'lululu'?" Song Lin looked at the girl in front of him in confusion. She tilted her head back, and her rosy cheeks were stained with a beautiful glow, as if she was slightly drunk.

There was a hint of playfulness in his arrogance, completely different from his previous wooden appearance.

"Lululu is just... Oh, anyway, I will never like you." She gently pushed him away and was about to go out with a red face.

Song Lin felt like he was being fooled. He suddenly remembered her sly smile. His face changed, he grabbed the person in, and quickly closed the door.

"Since I bought you, you are mine. You don't care if I'm a colleague asking for favors or if I really like you. Just do whatever I ask you to do. Do you want to be lazy? Come in and help me take a bath."

Shen Xu was originally shy, but after hearing what he said, he immediately became angry and said rudely: "Humph, shameless guy, it's no wonder you can't get a wife if you are so fierce!"

Song Lin immediately became furious and threatened, "Yeah, yeah, you're shameless to me. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll take you tonight."

"If you want it, then take it. Young Master Song is handsome and in good health. I won't lose out anyway."

"Really? Why do I find that Miss Shen is fair-skinned, beautiful, and smart? I'm lucky to be able to buy her."

Seeing her unconvinced look, Song Lin smiled and said, "Don't mention five taels, I want twenty taels too."

How could Shen Xu let him be so complacent? He gritted his teeth and smiled, "Don't worry, five taels has its price, twenty taels has its price, I will personally prove to you that cheap goods are not good!"

"Okay, let's wait and see."

"Are you going to take a shower or not? The water is getting cold." Shen Xu stared straight at his chest and raised his eyebrows without hesitation to signal him to take off his clothes and take a shower quickly.

Song Lin felt uncomfortable now. He pointed to the door and said, "Get out."

Shen Xu tilted his head, snorted lightly, opened the door and walked out. Before closing the door, he did not forget to complain, "One moment he lets me in, the next moment he lets me out, Master Song is really hard to please."

"I can hear you, get out!"

Shen Xu closed the door, turned around and lowered his eyes in disappointment, muttering: "Unless, you really and passionately like me... Forget it, how could there be such a person."

A crystal tear ran down her cheek. She sniffed, raised her hand to wipe away the tears, and regained her dull and calm expression.

Shen Xu sat down on the small bench at the door as if nothing had happened, looking up at the gray sky.

"Alas, where is my home?"

…

On the other side, the Marquis' Mansion.

"Your Highness, please slow down. Don't let anyone see us." Outside the red wall, the young eunuch in blue covered his face and shouted anxiously, as if his master was doing something extremely shameful.

"Shut up! If I am discovered, I will sew your mouth shut." Murong Yan squatted on the glazed tiles of the wall of the Marquis' Mansion, staring at the situation in the yard cautiously.

Since the return of the Great Devil, the number of guards in the Marquis' Mansion has obviously doubled. There are even people patrolling outside the toilets. It is even more rigorous than the imperial palace.

What's going on, Big Devil? Are you worried that someone will steal your shit?

He had just found an opening to climb into the yard when a dark figure scrambled up the wall, flipped out from the yard, and threw himself into his arms.

Murong Yan cried out softly, "Oh my god!" and lost his balance and fell off the wall. The man in black also fell into his arms.

The two men fell together and rolled several times, and fell to the ground for a long time without getting up.

Murong Yan then realized that a thief had broken into the mansion. He ignored the pain in his back and quickly turned over to grab her. He lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you come from, you little thief? How dare you come to steal things from the Tingnan Marquis's mansion?"

Ye Wanqing was about to curse, but when she heard Murong Yan's gentle voice, she quickly called him in a low voice, "Hush! Your Highness, it's me."

"Ah Xu." Murong Yan called her out in surprise, gently releasing his hand that was holding her down, but still speaking to her from a position that was pressing her down: "Why did you come out dressed like this?"

"I was just about to ask you, what are you doing squatting on my wall like an owl in the middle of the night?"

Ye Wanqing lay on the ground, feeling his weight on her, and her heart began to pound.
