Chapter 245: Don't allow others to covet

Li Rongsen said: "Wen Jiaer is my good friend, I am willing to help him."

But he only said the first half of the sentence, and it was also for An Yan. As long as it was something she wanted, he would do his best to help her get it, even if it cost him his life, even if she wanted it for someone else.

Yan Qingqiu frowned and said, "I think it's better to forget it. It's not worth giving up your freedom. Besides, everyone has their own fate."

An Yan went to see Li Rongsen and said to him very seriously, "Let's go back." Then she went to pack up.

"It can't be a wasted trip." Li Rongsen said.

Yan Qingqiu had already started packing his things, and while helping Li Rongsen, he said, "Just listen to An Yan and don't overthink it."

An Yan said, "Forget it, let's go back and think of another way."

"What methods will he use? Why do you insist that I will definitely not be able to leave in three months?" Li Rongsen was really puzzled.

"You don't understand the old man from the North Courtyard at all. He never lets outsiders stay here for too long. The time I came to detoxify, he rushed me out before I was fully recovered." Yan Qingqiu explained to Li Rongsen, and then said, "Why did he bother to keep you? Of course he has a crush on you."

"Are you interested in me?" Li Rongsen was puzzled. He looked towards An Yan.

An Yan also started packing up and said, "He always has a way to make you stay willingly. You can't beat him."

Li Rongsen was about to say something when he saw a man coming over and saying, "City Lord, our Dean wants to see you."

An Yan thought about it for a moment and finally went with him.

The old man in the North Courtyard held a banquet in the long pavilion in the garden. He motioned An Yan to sit down and said to her, "It's rare for the City Lord to come to the North Courtyard. I should do my best to be a good host."

"The dean has done a great job." An Yan replied politely.

"I have something else I want to give to the city lord. I hope you will accept it." The old man in the north courtyard smiled at her.

An Yan didn't believe that the old man would change his temper. He was famous for his calculations. Why would he give her something for no reason? She couldn't help but feel a little confused.

And then I saw a few people coming from outside the garden and standing in a neat row outside the pavilion.

"Come in, everyone. How can people see you standing here? They can't even see what's going on with your nose and eyes." The old man in the north yard motioned for them all to stand inside the pavilion.

There were six handsome men, each with his own unique charm, which made An Yan even more confused. She asked, "What are they doing?"

"Since I have taken your city slave, I will naturally return one to you. You can choose one." The old man in the north yard said to her with a chuckle.

"What's that? I never said I wanted a city slave."

"Why be so careful? He's just a slave. It doesn't matter who you replace him with. Besides, these six are famous handsome men. Who can compare to him?" The old man in the north yard asked An Yan with a smile.

An Yan sneered, and then said: "If they are really comparable, why do you fancy my people? It's obvious that you know they are not comparable."

"Then let's take all six of them. One against six, it's not a loss at all."

The person who said this was Beichen. She was wearing Ming Dynasty clothing today, which made her look even more charming and graceful. She walked into the garden and said to Anyan, "Although he is willing to be a slave in Xicheng, you didn't agree and didn't give him a red rope chain. It shows that he is still a free person."

"So it was you who wanted him."

"I've taken a liking to him. I'd like him to stay here for three months. If he wants to leave after three months, I'll naturally let him go."

"Don't say that. You have plenty of ways to stop him from leaving." An Yan sneered and added, "Even if you really want him to leave, I don't want him to stay and suffer this punishment from you."

"What are you talking about? I really want to treat him well."

"He doesn't need it."

"He's unmarried, I'm unmarried, and everyone needs it."

"He is indeed unmarried, but he doesn't need you. Whether you need him or not is your business." An Yan said angrily.

Beichen was also annoyed and said, "What are you talking about? You are just a man."

"What you said is true. He is just a man. There are so many men in the world. You can just find another one. What's the point of snatching him from me?" An Yan asked her coldly.

"Then you can find another one, or a bunch of them."

"He is already a slave in my West City, so naturally no one else can covet him." An Yan did not intend to give in.

Beichen was furious and said, "You are the Lord of West City after all. How can you be so ignorant and disregard your dignity for a man?"

An Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with Beichen. She looked at the head of the North Courtyard and said, "You don't care about your daughter. Look at how crazy she is. She even disrespected her elders for a man."

The old man in the North Courtyard naturally wanted to side with his daughter, but it was not easy to offend An Yan. If he angered her, things would be difficult to handle. Therefore, he had to gently scold Bei Chen: "Go down first."

But Beichen was used to being spoiled, and he said to Anyan, "You don't want Yongchun anymore, do you? There's no other place to get Yongchun except here."

An Yan was not threatened by her. She said, "A piece of Yongchun is nothing compared to him."

Beichen sneered and said, "Okay, it seems Yongchun is indeed worthless. But your West City Lord is willing to visit him in person and endure a day of neglect, which shows that he is indeed worthless."

"That's all bullshit. I'm not going to give it to you anyway. I'm leaving now." After saying that, An Yan strode out of the hospital.

Beichen was so angry that he fainted. He said to An Yan, "Do you think you can get away? No matter what, even if I have to destroy West City, I will get him!"

An Yan turned around to look at her and said, "If you have the guts, come and rob me. I'm always here to accompany you." After saying that, she left.

The old man in the north courtyard quickly tried to calm Beichen down, saying, "You shouldn't say such harsh words. Even if you wanted to rob, you should do it secretly. You shouldn't say it openly."

"They have to leave the North Courtyard alive first." Beichen was already annoyed. She sneered at the six men, "Get out of here, you useless bastards."

The old man from the North Courtyard reminded her: "My century-old foundation cannot be destroyed by a man."

"What does our North Court lack in West City? It's because father is too kind. He should have destroyed them long ago." Beichen said shamelessly.

"He's just a man. He can have any other man. Why does he have to choose this one?" The old man in the north courtyard really couldn't understand. Although he also thought Li Rongsen was good, he was just an ordinary man after all, but she had to fall in love with him.

Beichen was not doing this for a man now, but for dignity, to win over Anyan. She said nothing more and just turned around and left the garden.

On the other side, An Yan had already gone back.

When Yan Qingqiu saw her come back, he asked, "What did the old man say to you?"

"Let's go quickly, we can't stay for a moment." An Yan said as she gestured to Yan Qingqiu and Li Rongsen to pack up.

Li Rongsen noticed that An Yan's expression was not right and asked her, "Did something serious happen?"

"If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave. Let's leave here first, and I'll talk to you later." An Yan picked up her bag and was about to walk out of the house.

But he found that the way into the yard was blocked by branches and vines, all of which were tangled together, blocking the gate and the sky above the yard, so that he could not see the sky clearly.

Yan Qingqiu also came out and said, "Is this old man going to get serious with us?"

"Is it related to me? As long as I stay, they won't hurt you." Li Rongsen felt that it must be related to himself.

An Yan said to Li Rongsen in a very cold tone, "Li Rongsen, don't let me hear these words again, or don't blame me for being rude."

Li Rongsen had never seen An Yan so stern before, so he immediately shut up.
