Chapter 95

Yu Yingyan was a notorious playboy in the capital, with female confidantes everywhere, including married women, widows, young ladies, and courtesans, even throughout the country.

No matter how dignified and proper these women were, or how chaste and virtuous they were, as long as Yu Yingyan took action, they would fall at his feet within a few days, becoming infatuated with him and willing to die for him.

If Yu Yingyan hadn't had a father who was the Grand Secretary, he probably would have been beaten to death long ago.

But he lived a carefree life and continued to seduce women.

The people around him looked at Yu Yingyan with either jealousy, envy, or sighs. There was nothing they could do; after all, Yu Yingyan was the most handsome man in the Southern Frontier and had a good father.

Everyone says that Yu Yingyan is a womanizer, loves to play around and is reckless, but in reality he is extremely insecure. He tries to prove his charm by constantly looking for women.

He was abandoned by his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, whom he loved deeply. The reason for the abandonment was that she had climbed up to the Prince of Fu, who had a higher social status.

She was still only a concubine of Prince Fu. The fact that the other party preferred to be Prince Fu's concubine rather than his principal wife was a devastating blow to Yu Yingyan.

Yu Yingyan locked herself in her room for a long time and refused to come out. When she came out again, she was a completely different person.

What he hated most were women like his fiancée who tried to climb the social ladder by marrying into power. Unfortunately, the Lady of Jiangyang, whom everyone had just been talking about, was exactly that kind of person.

Lou Boshan knew that Yu Yingyan harbored ill intentions towards the Lady of Jiangyang and wanted to see her suffer. His advice was not to help her, but to prevent things from escalating and causing his friend to become enemies with the Marquis of Jiangyang.

Lou Boshan looked at Yu Yingyan disapprovingly, but Yu Yingyan smiled and said, "I know what I'm doing."

After Rong Rong had eaten her fill at the banquet, she got up and strolled around the garden. She had no interest in the entertainment of the young ladies and gentlemen.

Xie Tianrui continued to follow her closely, which annoyed her. Fortunately, Xie Tianrui left shortly afterward, and Rong Rong felt much more relaxed.

The design of Lianfangyuan is ingenious, always giving people a sense of unexpected surprises.

Rong Rong was so engrossed in the garden that she didn't notice that when she stepped out of the path and saw the open garden again, an arrow was shot straight at her.

"Watch out!" came a cry of alarm.

The arrow was too fast for Rong Rong to react to. Just as she was about to be hit, someone suddenly grabbed her waist and spun her around to the side.

As the autumn wind blew, petals drifted down slowly. The androgynous handsome man smiled and gazed intently at Rong Rong with deep eyes.

Rong Rong was pulled into the other person's arms, and the inertia caused the two of them to spin around a few more times.

What a beautiful scene it is to see handsome men and beautiful women embracing and twirling in a sea of ​​flowers.

A hero saves a damsel in distress—utterly romantic.

Once the two had stopped, the handsome man immediately released Rong Rong, took a step back, and respectfully bowed to her with a folding fan in his hand, saying, "I have offended you, Madam, please forgive me!"

"Is Madam bored all alone? Why don't you come and play together?" The handsome man's eyes were upturned at the corners, and his peach blossom eyes were charming and amorous.

Being rescued by such a man, who gazes at you with deep affection and extends a warm invitation, would be hard for most women to refuse.

Yu Yingyan raised the corners of his mouth with certainty and confidence, as if he could already see Rong Rong relentlessly pursuing him.

Not far away, a group of men were also watching this scene expectantly, with expressions of anticipation.

Rong Rong remained silent, observing the situation in the garden. The group of people were having an archery competition.

It just so happened that someone shot a shot that missed, she just happened to be passing by, and this person just happened to save her—it was truly a coincidence.

Rong Rong looked back at Yu Yingyan, whose smile deepened, making his peach blossom eyes even more affectionate and captivating.

Rong Rong smiled suddenly, her beautiful eyes sparkling even more brightly than Yu Yingyan's peach blossom eyes.

For a moment, everyone, including Yu Yingyan, was stunned. It was at this moment that they realized that the Lady of Jiangyang was a thousand times more beautiful than Yu Yingyan.

"Hmph, ugly people always cause trouble!" Rong Rong's eyebrows curved, her smile was bright and charming, but the words she spoke were cold and impolite.

It's a soft, sweet voice, but it's so suffocating when it opens its mouth.

Yu Yingyan's smile cracked, his expression instantly turning gloomy before quickly returning to a smile. "What does Madam mean by this?"

"I don't think I deserve the title of 'ugly'." Yu Yingyan was elegant and looked at Rong Rong with a smile as if he were looking at someone who was being unreasonable, while he himself was a magnanimous and tolerant young nobleman.

Rong Rong remained unmoved and continued to laugh, "Ugly on the outside and ugly on the inside, ugly in every way, nothing to say, get out of the way!"

Rong Rong was about to leave when someone nearby couldn't help but chuckle.

Most of the people here have had experiences of being admired or liked by women who became Yu Yingyan's confidantes. Of course, they have also hated and resented him, but since they are not as good-looking or from the same family as Yu Yingyan, they dare not retaliate.

It's rare to see Yu Yingyan get the short end of the stick in front of a woman, how could they not laugh?

Even the dislike he had felt for Lady Jiangyang just moments before faded somewhat in the midst of this exhilarating moment.

Even Lou Boshan, whose eyes were usually indifferent, revealed a hint of a smile.

Yu Yingyan could no longer maintain her graceful smile, and her face turned ashen.

He had never been this humiliated, except when his former fiancée fell in love with someone else.

Enraged, Yu Yingyan made a move. As Rong Rong passed by him, he grabbed at Rong Rong's veil.

"Madam is trying to hide herself, so she must be even uglier than me. It's alright, we're all polite people, we won't laugh at her..."

Then there was silence, an absolute silence that permeated the entire garden.

The garden, which had just been filled with laughter, suddenly became deathly silent. All the surrounding scenes became illusory, and even the sounds of the wind and insects seemed to be separated by a layer.

Only the graceful beauty stood out with her bright and dazzling colors, almost blinding everyone.

The stunningly beautiful sea of ​​flowers that had previously amazed everyone is now relegated to a mere backdrop for the beauty; the thousands of delicate and beautiful blossoms pale in comparison to the fleeting glimpse of the lovely woman.

Whether it was just people's imagination or not, it seemed as if the flower buds that were originally about to bloom suddenly began to bloom in profusion, one by one and in clusters, as if they were competing for beauty and vying for the favor of a beauty, or as if they were trying their best to grow and welcome the goddess of flowers!

Yu Yingyan's heart pounded wildly, clutching Rong Rong's veil in his hand, having forgotten what had happened before.

Lou Boshan maintained a cold expression, but his eyes held a deep sense of amazement.

Once everyone recovered from their shock at the stunning beauty, their first reaction was intense jealousy towards Marquis Jiangyang.

No wonder Xie Tianrui cherishes his wife like the apple of his eye. And why is Xie Tianrui so lucky to be able to marry such a stunning beauty?
