Jiang Lingxuan glared at Ye Feng, then turned to Nie Xiaolan and asked, "Where do you live?"

"Huangyun Street in the north of Linghuang Island," Nie Xiaolan said timidly.

Jiang Lingxuan's aura was too strong, she was like a fierce tigress, so Nie Xiaolan couldn't help but be afraid.

Sun Muqing walked over and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, we won't do anything to you. My name is Sun Muqing, and this is Jiang Lingxuan. We are both Ye Feng's wives."

Upon hearing this, Nie Xiaolan lowered her head.

Nie Xiaolan finally understood why Ye Feng had shown no interest in her at all when she had taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms last night.

He has two wives with exceptional temperament, looks, and figures like fairies, so naturally he wouldn't be interested in me.

Let's not talk about others; if I were in their shoes, I would definitely make the same choice.

Nie Xiaolan didn't dare to look up at Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan at this moment. She was afraid that if she looked at Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan for even a second, she would feel ashamed of herself.

"It's not convenient for her to wash up here. Mu Qing, Ling Xuan, take her to your room to wash up. After breakfast, we'll go to Huangyun Street in the north of Linghuang Island," Ye Feng said.

"Okay, no problem."

As Sun Muqing spoke, he grabbed Nie Xiaolan's hand and pulled her outside.

Jiang Lingxuan, however, did not leave.

As soon as Sun Muqing and Nie Xiaolan left, Jiang Lingxuan hopped up to Ye Feng like a rabbit, grabbed his arm, and asked, "You really didn't do anything you shouldn't have done with her last night?"

"No, really."

Ye Feng sighed and said helplessly, "Lingxuan, even if you don't trust my character, you have to trust my taste. That Nie Xiaolan can't compare to you and Mu Qing in any way. Why would I do that kind of thing with her instead of going to you two?"

"That's true."

Jiang Lingxuan nodded, a satisfied smile on her face.

After Nie Xiaolan finished washing up, Sun Muqing took her back to Yefeng and ordered a table of food from the waiter.

Looking at the sumptuous breakfast spread out on the table in front of her, Nie Xiaolan sat there timidly, not daring to move an inch.

"Eat up, don't be shy," Sun Muqing said with a smile.

"Can...can I really eat this?" Nie Xiaolan asked timidly.

"Of course you can eat it."

As Sun Muqing spoke, she picked up a crab roe bun with her chopsticks and placed it in front of Nie Xiaolan.

Nie Xiaolan picked up the steamed bun, took a bite, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Really? Is it that delicious?" Jiang Lingxuan joked.

Sun Muqing glared at Jiang Lingxuan and said, "Don't make fun of her."

"I didn't make fun of her... Okay, okay, it was my fault. Can I at least apologize?"

Jiang Lingxuan got up and poured Nie Xiaolan a cup of tea, placing it in front of her: "Don't just eat steamed buns, drink some water to moisten your mouth, so you don't choke."

"Thanks……"

Nie Xiaolan could no longer control herself, and tears streamed down her face.

After finishing breakfast, Ye Feng led the three women away from the inn and headed north of Linghuang Island.

Linghuang Island is very large, but there is only one city on the island, called Linghuang City.

Although it is a city, since there is only one city on the island, Linghuang City does not need to consider defending against external enemies, so naturally there are no city walls.

The night wind traveled north, and after an unknown distance, a thick yellow fog gradually filled the surrounding area.

To be precise, it should be smoke and dust.

The yellow smoke grew thicker and thicker, emitting a pungent odor that was very unpleasant to smell.

“No wonder this place is called Huangyun Street… The smog is so bad, you’ll definitely get sick if you live here for a long time,” Jiang Lingxuan said, frowning.

"What kind of smoke and dust is this?" Sun Muqing asked in confusion.

Nie Xiaolan hesitated for a moment before mustering the courage to explain, "The smoke and dust here all come from the gold mines. There are many gold veins in the northern part of Linghuang Island, and there is a gold mine on each gold vein. The miners extract gold from the gold veins and then transport it to the mine to smelt it into gold."

"The process of smelting gold from metal and stone will emit this kind of smoke and dust, so the entire northern part of the city is shrouded in this yellowish smoke and dust."

"This place wasn't originally called Huangyun Street, but the smoke and dust got worse and worse, so over time people started calling it Huangyun Street."

"The men who live on Huangyun Street are all miners in the gold and stone mines, while the women, although they cannot go down into the mines, also work as day laborers in the gold and stone mines."

"So people living here have a very hard life. Unless they are really desperate and have no other way to make a living, they will never try to make a living here."

Upon hearing Nie Xiaolan's words, Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan immediately understood that Huangyun Street was probably the slum on Linghuang Island.

Nie Xiaolan and her family live here, so they are naturally part of this community.

“My house is just ahead. My mother should still be working at a gold mine nearby, but my father is at home right now…” Nie Xiaolan said, pointing to a very simple house in front of her.

The house was built of wooden planks, with gaps everywhere, barely enough to keep out the rain, let alone the wind.

But Nie Xiaolan's home seemed to be considered quite good here, because the surrounding houses were all shacks, which were even worse than wooden houses!

"Xiao Lan, you're finally back! You haven't been home for a whole day and night. Your mother was so worried about you."

A burly middle-aged woman emerged from a nearby shack and began yelling at Nie Xiaolan.

"Sister Wang, could you please go find my mother and tell her that I brought guests home?" Nie Xiaolan said to the burly middle-aged woman.

"Okay, I'll go for you."

After glancing curiously at Ye Feng, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan a few times, the middle-aged woman nodded and walked away into the distance.

The conversation between Nie Xiaolan and the middle-aged woman was overheard by people in several nearby shacks.

So they all came out of the shack and curiously gathered around to watch Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing.

Who are those three people?

"I don't know, it seems like Nie Xiaolan brought the guests back."

"Those two women are so beautiful, and they're wearing silk...they must be young ladies from wealthy families!"

"At the very least, they come from wealthy merchant families."

"How could Nie Xiaolan have such a friend?"

The people around were talking about it and discussing it non-stop.

Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing naturally overheard their conversation.

However, the three of them did not pay any attention and followed Nie Xiaolan straight into her house.

"Father? Father?" Nie Xiaolan shouted when she couldn't find her father in his room.
