"I need to go there."
Xiao Yu was preoccupied with finding more leverage and didn't notice his wife's worries.
You really want to go!
A hint of worry flashed in Shen Youyu's beautiful eyes... Although Shen Youyu was confident enough in her appearance.
Who wouldn't know if they are pretty or not?
Those who claim to be "handsome without realizing it" or "beautiful without realizing it" are just showing off!
Those who are neither handsome nor beautiful will think they are very handsome or beautiful... So, those who are very handsome or beautiful, like the readers of this book, must be incredibly arrogant inside!
Shen Youyu knew her own charm, but she also knew the tricks of those young ladies at Baoyue Tower... They were incredibly skilled at seducing men.
"Then... Juro, remember to be careful."
After a few seconds of hesitation, Shen Youyu still chose to support Xiao Yu.
After all, Xiao Yu's purpose in going to Baoyue Tower was to find more leverage against Liu Guogong and others, not to drink and sleep with women!
"My wife, please rest assured, don't you know my strength?"
Xiao Yu laughed and said that Baoyue Tower was nothing but trash in front of him. Last time, that Master Wu was defeated by him in one move!
With his Grandmaster level, it wouldn't be a problem for him to fight his way in and out of Baoyue Tower seven times.
"I know Shiro's strength... but Shiro, please be careful and don't be careless," Shen Youyu said gently.
She was genuinely worried about Xiao Yu. Besides her concerns about his safety, she was afraid that he would fall into a trap of intimacy, which would be a different story than just seven times in and out of the bedroom!
"Um."
Xiao Yu felt that his wife was acting a little strange; perhaps she was too worried about him!
Next, the two went into a shop.
In this era, the textile industry was already quite developed, and various textiles such as silk, cotton, linen, and gauze were widely produced and used.
Moreover, the colors are all very beautiful, with silk and tulle in various colors.
"Buy several colors."
When Xiao Yu was choosing the gauze, he glanced at the other silks... but in the end, he didn't buy any.
When His Majesty bestowed gold and fertile land upon Xiao Yu, there was also a great deal of silk, the kind of fabric that could not be bought in ordinary shops.
Xiao Yu had Shen Youyu select some of the silks, and the rest were distributed among the women of the Xiao family so they could make clothes...
"Boss, pack all of these up."
After buying the gauze, Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Wife, it's still early. Let's go shopping somewhere else and buy you some jewelry."
"Let's buy it next time, I'm a little tired."
Shen Youyu took Xiao Yu's arm and said gently, "Let's go home first."
While buying the gauze, Shen Youyu suddenly remembered that Xiao Yu was going to Baoyue Tower that night... If she satisfied him first, he would probably ignore those seductive young ladies, right?
While there's still time, I need to go home and drain him dry first... Thinking this, Shen Youyu's pretty face suddenly turned much redder.
"good."
Seeing Shen Youyu's rosy cheeks, which were very alluring... Xiao Yu stared at her for two seconds, then said, "My wife is really tired. Her cheeks are red and she's even sweating a little."
After saying that, he gently wiped Shen Youyu's forehead with the back of his hand.
This made Shen Youyu both shy and happy, as if she had been electrocuted, feeling blissful and sweet.
Soon, the two returned to Prince Xiao's residence.
We arrived at the room.
Just as Shen Youyu was hesitating about how to seduce Xiao Yu into taking the initiative, there was a knock on the door.
"Brother Xiao Yu, Captain Xiao Zhan needs to talk to you."
Yang Niannian's voice came from outside the door.
Since Xiao Yu and Shen Youyu were sharing a room, Xiao Zhan couldn't stand at the door, so he asked Yang Niannian to help announce their arrival.
"They're here."
Xiao Yu went to open the door and saw Xiao Zhan standing outside, along with three disguised guards.
"Let's talk in the inner hall."
Seeing that there were many people in the courtyard, Xiao Yu winked at Xiao Zhan and said.
"Um."
Xiao Zhan and the others quickly followed.
We arrived at the inner hall.
Xiao Yu asked Aunt Zhang, who was wiping the table, to leave, and then said, "Tell me, what have you found out?"
"Your Highness, I found the house you mentioned in Tongluo Alley, just as you said!"
In this era, houses didn't have house numbers; you could only find them by verbal descriptions and their approximate locations. However, Liu Quan provided very detailed information, and the three guards Xiao Zhan sought out were quite clever, so they didn't return empty-handed.
"The house was locked. I climbed over the wall and took a look... There were indeed three young and beautiful women being imprisoned inside. They were wearing shackles, and there was a man with a knife watching them from the village."
"The house I checked was the same; there were two women and a man with a knife in that village!"
“I found three women in the village I investigated, and two men were watching them… Actually, they weren’t just watching; the two men were abusing the three women! However, the three women didn’t put up much resistance, and Captain Xiao Zhan had ordered us not to alert them, so I left after I finished my investigation.”
The three guards spoke in turn.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu nodded, his expression neither sad nor happy.
I originally thought that there would only be one woman hiding in a mansion, but now it seems that I overestimated the humanity of Duke Liu!
But thinking about it, it makes sense... They didn't treat these women like human beings at all. What's wrong with locking up two or three women in one house? Could they possibly resist?
Those women who resisted were either beaten into submission or died!
As for what the last guard said, it's possible that the two guards were so lustful that they forced themselves on them... or it's possible that Duke Liu got tired of them and then gave the women to the two guards as a reward, and after rewarding his men, he sold them to Baoyue Tower.
"Liu Quan didn't lie to me."
Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes and said.
The remaining task is to confirm, without anyone knowing, that Miss Wang's body was buried in the yard.
"Your Highness, what do we do next?"
Xiao Zhan couldn't help but ask.
"I still need to confirm some things."
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "You can all leave now. I'll contact you again if I need anything."
After saying that, he went to the underground secret room again.
Liu Quan was suspended by iron shackles, and his arms were so sore that he had lost all feeling in them.
Xiao Yu chopped off both of his ears, he was covered in wounds, starving, and was now in a semi-comatose state.
"Whoa!!"
Xiao Yu poured a bucket of cold water on him.
Instantly, Liu Quan became much more sober. He widened his eyes and, upon seeing Xiao Yu, exclaimed excitedly, "Your Highness Xiao, are you going to let me go? I told you, everything I said was true, there wasn't a single lie!"
"Now that you've finished investigating... let me leave quickly, or my brother Liu Yan will kill me to silence me!!"
