That night.

Because Jun Wuji caught him in a room with his woman during the day.

The stingy man arranged for him to stay in a small guest room quite a distance from where Di Beiyao was staying.

Beitang Feng sat in the chair, his elegant fingers holding the teacup to his lips, and took a small sip.

Thinking of Jun Wuji's two-faced nature during the day, a soft chuckle couldn't help but escape his lips.

Who would have thought that the man who was once as cold and ruthless as a god of death on the battlefield would be so childish in front of the woman he loves?

But that's good too. Isn't it more worthwhile for him to befriend people like that?

"Little Red Bean, open the door quickly!" A low female voice rang out from outside the door.

Hmm? Jun Wuji's woman? He raised a slight brow, put down his teacup, and stood up to walk towards the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Di Beiyao standing furtively in front of it.

Upon seeing the door open, Di Beiyao hurried inside, sat down in a chair as if he were at home, picked up a teacup from the table, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.

She smiled as she watched Beitang Feng walk towards her.

"Little Red Bean, I'm so sorry for leaving you all alone in this remote corner."

However, the provincial government is heavily guarded, so it's very safe and you don't need to be afraid.

It's all Jun Wuji's fault, that petty man. He gets jealous even of a girl like Xiao Hongdou. Honestly.

"It's alright, sister. Little Red Bean is already content with having a place to stay."

It was very safe; not only were there guards protecting every place, big and small, in the provincial capital, but even the roof of the house he was currently in was guarded.

There was a bodyguard watching him, which showed that Jun Wuji was quite suspicious and wary of him, a person who had sold himself into servitude halfway through his life.

"Little Red Bean, you're so beautiful, how could you end up selling yourself? Where do you live? Should I have Jun Wuji send you home?"

Although he liked this beautiful young woman very much, he had just learned from Jun Wuji that the disaster in Jiangnan was almost under control, and that they would probably be setting off back to the capital in a few days.

Little Red Bean is probably from Jiangnan. The Empress felt a little reluctant, as she couldn't just make a beauty leave her hometown because she liked her.

"Sister, I...I have no home anymore. My family all left me in the disaster, so...that's why..."

Seeing that Xiao Hongdou looked like she was about to cry, Di Beiyao felt extremely distressed.

"Alright, alright, stop crying, stop crying. So, Little Red Bean, what are your plans?"

"What plans can a weak woman like me have?" Beitang Feng continued to feign pitifulness, answering with sobs.

A frail woman? Di Beiyao glanced at Xiao Hongdou, who was a head taller than him: Cough, this frail woman is a bit big...

"How about I find you a good family to marry into? That way you'll have someone to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Little Red Bean's tears immediately began to fall in a steady stream.

Seeing the beauty crying like this, the Empress panicked. "No, stop crying! What are you crying about?"

"Sister, are you abandoning me? Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no, it's just that I'm going back to the capital in a few days. You're from Jiangnan, and I couldn't bear to see you leave your hometown, Little Red Bean..."

Di Beiyao quickly explained.

"Little Red Bean is already yours, just like the saying goes, 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes,' so wherever you go, Little Red Bean will follow!"

Di Beiyao: "...?"
