Caiqing stood beside Liuyin, watching as she and the Crown Prince agreed to go to a restaurant together after only a few words, and felt a little worried.

Even she, a mere maid, knew that the prince before her was an idle and good-for-nothing playboy.

Because of his noble status, no one dared to stop him no matter what he did.

However, this prince is quite handsome, and he is a good match for the girl's appearance.

"But what if the general finds out about this?" Caiqing suddenly felt a little scared.

Will he be angry with the girl because of this? After all, judging from this morning, the girl clearly came back with anger.

These days, their lives in the general's mansion were actually not easy.

The servants in the manor are all opportunistic and snobbish. The old lady doesn't value the young ladies much, and with the cousin's orders, their meals have long been rationed.

Every day consisted of only thin white porridge and side dishes.

Caiqing used the hairpin to exchange for money and bribed the girl, which prevented her from noticing.

In Caiqing's heart, Liuyin was the easiest master to serve.

He wouldn't beat or scold her for no reason, and he even gave her an exquisite and valuable hairpin. Serving her every day was much easier than the work he did before.

You should know that although Yu Die, who serves Miss Biao, earns a lot of money each month, she also has to face Miss Biao's beatings and scoldings from time to time.

After all, Miss Biao has always disliked some pretty maids; she practically wanted to scratch their faces.

But following in Liu Yin and Qiao Xuanwen's footsteps, Cai Qing still followed.

She thought it over and over. Although the Crown Prince had a bad reputation, he was of noble status and had not taken any wives or concubines.

Judging from the way His Highness looks, he must like the girl.

After all, the girl was as beautiful as an angel, and even those who saw her every day couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty. It was normal for men to have feelings for her.

The general is not kind to the girl. If she enters the general's mansion in the future, with the old lady and her cousin there, her life will probably not be easy.

Moreover, the general only brought the girl back; he didn't say anything about giving her a title. That girl shouldn't be under the general's jurisdiction yet.

Having figured all this out, Caiqing's worries suddenly eased, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face.

Even if she could no longer serve the young lady, she still hoped that Liuyin would have a better life in the future.

Liu Yin had no idea what Cai Qing was thinking at the moment, and even if she did, she probably wouldn't care.

Anyway, she has no intention of going back to the general's mansion.

Qiao Xuanwen felt a little nervous the whole way. He was usually very eloquent, but he didn't know what to say to Liu Yin.

He could only walk silently beside Liuyin, glancing at the woman beside him from time to time.

Fortunately, the restaurant they were going to wasn't far away, and it happened to be one of his properties.

Wangjiang Tower has always been a place that attracts high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is elegant and luxurious, and the wine here is also exceptional.

Qiao Xuanwen led Liu Yin up to the third floor, which was where he occasionally came to rest.

Just as Caiqing was about to follow, she was stopped by Qiao Xuanwen's attendant, who said, "Please wait."

Liu Yin also noticed the commotion below. "Why don't you let them follow us?"

Qiao Xuanwen smiled and said, "The room isn't very big, and it will inevitably be a bit crowded with more people. How about I have the servant take your maid to a private room downstairs?"

This excuse was so lame that even Qiao Xuanwen found it laughable after he finished speaking.

This place doesn't look cramped at all.

He quickly gave his attendant a wink, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two figures gradually disappear from sight.

Turning to Liu Yin's slightly smiling eyes, Qiao Xuanwen's cheeks suddenly flushed red. "Then let's go."

The entire third floor was Qiao Wenxuan's own living space, so it was really not a small place at all.

Not to mention that he had previously ordered the place to be completely renovated in order to indulge in pleasure.

The room was filled with the faint scent of incense, and in the center stood a round, auspicious table. The furnishings were all priceless treasures and rare objects.

Liu Yin looked around and even saw a bed inside, covered with brocade and thin silk.

Noticing her gaze fixed on the bed, Qiao Xuanwen quickly stepped in front of her, feeling inexplicably awkward. "Why don't we sit down first?"

I almost forgot about these!

He doesn't actually come here often; he just comes to check on things occasionally.

He and his friends frequented a gambling den, which he had bought a few years ago. They used to eat, drink, and have fun there.

However, that place was not suitable for a daughter, and Qiao Wenxuan did not want to take Liuyin there.

She didn't seem to recognize him. If that's the case, she certainly didn't know anything about his daily life.

Qiao Xuanwen had even made up his mind that if he got married, he would definitely not go there anymore. He would definitely become a good husband.

With these thoughts in mind, Qiao Xuanwen said aloud, "Miss Liuyin, I want to marry you."

That was said too quickly and too suddenly.

Qiao Xuanwen quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly explained, "No, no."

"I just want to ask you, have you made a promise to someone?"

The more he explained, the redder he became, his face turning red, and the skin on the back of his neck was also stained red.

Seeing the man's flustered appearance, Liu Yin chuckled and reached out to remove the curtain. "I have never agreed to any marriage."
