Chapter 108 What do you want to see? I'll grant your wish.

Mo Yu pushed open the door and saw Xie Guidu alone, lost in thought. "Young Master, we found a brokerage firm where a little girl does indeed look somewhat similar to the child in your painting."

Xie Guidu suddenly stood up, and the picture album in his hand fell to the ground. Because of the big movement, the inkstone on the table was swept to the ground by his wide sleeve, and ink splashed all over the ground, even spilling onto his clothes, but he was completely unaware.

His chest pounded violently, a mixture of sourness and bitterness. Memories of the past flooded his mind, and he had a vague idea that Dou Wenyi, like him, had also been reborn!

Many things have changed in this life, but the biggest change is her.

She rejected him without reason, and all her love for him vanished. She looked at him as if he were an enemy, or even a stranger.

She might have returned even earlier than him; they both came back. Their daughter, Nannan, is also very likely to have returned to this life.

Xie Guidu squatted down again and picked up the sketchbook, but unfortunately it was stained with a blot of black ink. He frowned slightly and carefully placed the sketchbook on the table.

His heart pounded. "Prepare the horses. I want to go see it, to see it for myself."

——

Inside the private room of the tea house, the maids took out the dominoes that had been prepared beforehand.

The two men who had just been 'fighting' had changed into their robes and entered respectfully. Both of them wore thin undergarments, their lapels slightly open, revealing their bronze chest muscles glistening with water droplets.

The atmosphere grew increasingly heated...

One of the men had handsome features. When he saw Dou Wenyi's face clearly, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, but he then subtly looked away.

Princess Fu'an had just drunk a few cups of fruit wine, and her face was flushed with intoxication. As if sensing that she wanted to slip away early, she grabbed her wrist and lowered her voice, "Look, they are as beautiful as pearls and jade, and as handsome as heroes... You have no idea how happy my mother is!"

Dou Wenyi struggled to pry her hands open: "..."

The 'happiness' she mentioned probably didn't refer to the eldest princess and her husband, Cheng Shen...

As a princess with power and influence, and who also controls the merchant guild of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it's not surprising that she has some dissolute habits. Her husband, Cheng Shen, is probably powerless to control her, even if he wanted to.

But these secrets were not something she could hear!

Besides, she had already seen the most outstanding men in the world, such as Pei Siyan and Shen Yanzhou... Even Xie Guidu, no matter how despicable he was at heart, was still better than these male prostitutes who used their looks to serve men.

At this moment, the two men walked over, and one of them poured a glass of fruit wine and handed it to Princess Fu'an. His slender fingers deliberately brushed against her wrist.

The man's deep voice was seductive, "Princess, weren't we going to celebrate your birthday early? Shall we have a few more drinks and then play dominoes later?"

"Princess, didn't you say you were coming a while ago? I've been looking forward to your arrival every day. Today you've finally come. Didn't we agree to bravely go to paradise...?"

"Princess, that Xie fellow is ungrateful. You mustn't put all your eggs in one basket. Let us serve you well..."

The two men went back and forth, their words becoming increasingly explicit, as they used almost every trick in the book to keep Princess Fu'an with them.

Help!

Fu'an can do whatever she wants and have fun, but even if this deal falls through, she can't drag me down with her!

Dou Wenyi was extremely embarrassed and stood up abruptly.

She was speechless, unable to express herself clearly. "Princess, it's getting late. I don't know how to play cards. Let's call it a day. I'll take my leave now, okay?"

Princess Fu'an's face was mocking as she coldly snorted, "After you broke off your engagement with him, aren't you really heartbroken at all? I consider you a friend, and my birthday is in a few days, so you might as well risk your life to play with this gentleman a little longer."

"It's quite lively, what a refined taste!"

A deep male voice suddenly came from outside the door of the private room, which was made of sandalwood with intricate carvings.

The voice was calm and gentle, but when it reached Dou Wenyi's ears, it was like a thunderclap. In a short moment, her eyes went from shock to horror, and finally to blankness.

The two men, who had been so unrestrained just moments before, froze in place and wisely shut their mouths.

Pei Siyan strolled over slowly, his languid demeanor carrying an invisible pressure, his brows covered with a layer of frost.

Dou Wenyi felt very guilty, and stood there with her head down and hands hanging down, like a child who had made a mistake and was being punished.

She knew something bad was going to happen, and sure enough, Fu'an really caused a lot of trouble!

"Hand-to-hand combat?"

"Pai Gow?"

"You had a lot of fun!"

Pei Siyan uttered each word slowly and deliberately. His voice was deep, resonant, and pleasant to the ear, but to Dou Wenyi, it sounded like a demonic chant.

It felt like an eternity; I wished I could just disappear on the spot.

"Who are you? How dare you be so insolent in front of Princess Fu'an?" one of the men raised his head and shouted arrogantly.

"Shut up—" Fu'an's face turned ashen, and he didn't even have time to stop them.

The next instant, with a loud "bang," he was kicked several feet away by Chi Yan and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Dou Wenyi's face drained of all color, and she trembled as she clutched her chest, fearing that the vicious kick would land on her.

Princess Fu'an panicked completely, her eyes instantly reddened, and her lips trembled as she said, "Crown Prince, it's all Fu'an's fault. I'll never dare to do it again. Please forgive them."

Pei Siyan's sinister gaze fell upon the two disheveled men, and he smiled, "Someone, take these two men to the Princess's residence. Tell them that Princess Fu'an has taken a liking to them, and instruct the Princess to treat them well."

"The child is growing up and should have his own ideas. Tell the princess not to be too restrictive!"

Several burly guards immediately came in and dragged the two men away.

Princess Fu'an was terrified and cried sincerely, "Crown Prince, please... I was confused. We didn't do anything. We just watched a performance!"

Eunuch Anxi walked over, a forced smile on his face, "Princess, you should hurry back to the Princess's residence."

Princess Fu'an wiped away her tears, and sobbed as she stormed out the door.

The once crowded room instantly fell silent.

Dou Wenyi bit her lip, her eyes stinging with tears. She held back her tears, not to mention Fu'an was terrified; she was the one being roasted alive!

"Your Highness...I know I was wrong..." Her heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to look at him.

Pei Siyan's sharp gaze swept across the entire room, finally landing on the stands below, which were only a few feet away from this room. If a performance were to take place there, it would be clearly visible.

After a long while, he looked away.

The woman before me was as beautiful as jade, with graceful and delicate features. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of tenderness, and her pink lips were bitten until they turned white, like a begonia in the sun or a lotus flower on a distant mountain.

As the saying goes, romance has its own unique charm!

Pei Siyan walked straight to the head of the table, lifted his robe, and sat down. He raised his eyes to signal, and Eunuch Anxi immediately brought people in to change the tableware and the bowls and chopsticks.

Pei Siyan picked up the wine pot and poured himself a drink, and a mellow and strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire room.

He casually sipped his wine, raising a narrow, phoenix-shaped eyebrow. "Come here. Do you want to see my waist and abdomen, or do you want to play Pai Gow? Whatever it is, I'll satisfy you!"
