The woman was followed by three young men. They had seen her arguing with someone, and since it was a women's matter, men shouldn't get involved. Although they couldn't step forward, they secretly listened to the argument. Now that she was asking for help, and there seemed to be two people on the other side, fearing she might be wronged, the woman's brother came over.

The stranger's eyes were slightly red, and she looked at the three people approaching with a frail and delicate appearance. Her large, watery eyes seemed to hold endless grievances.

Xiao Xi and Nan Yi exchanged a glance and whispered to each other.

"Did you bully her?"

No.

"Then why is she crying?"

"It's just affectation. There are some women who like to act weak in front of men," just like her father's former concubine.

The whispers were overheard by those nearby, who burst into laughter, their gazes revealing a range of emotions: mockery, admiration, or pity.

A robust young man with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes led two other noblemen forward. The woman looked at one of the young men with particular excitement, gazing at him tenderly, and softly called out, "Master."

Nan Yi glanced sideways, her eyes catching sight of the newcomer. Her mind went blank, her face contorted with barely concealed anger. She gasped, "It's over... It's him! Why him? My luck has run out!"

Aisin-Gioro Yinzhen, what a nemesis! And his henchman Thirteen, didn't he say he had official business to attend to? Could it be that his so-called official business was just a load of rubbish?

She leaned against Xiao Xi, trembling slightly, and lowered her head, sighing inwardly. She couldn't let him find out, or she would be dead for sure, and would definitely be torn to pieces when she got back.

Just as he was about to quietly slip away from the crowd, he caught a glimpse of the unfamiliar woman moving gracefully to stand close to Yinzhen. She slightly raised her head and gazed at him with deep affection. The two of them standing together were surprisingly well-matched and eye-catching.

Yinzhen smiled at the woman, embraced her, and stood side by side, truly a handsome man and a beautiful woman, deeply in love.
