Early morning.
Xiao Yu decided to take his wife to a jewelry store.
Last night, he told Shen Youyu about Jin Mulan's choice. The charming courtesan did not show any jealousy or sullenness, remaining gentle and considerate, always thinking of Xiao Yu's best interests.
So Xiao Yu rewarded his wife handsomely for one night.
This morning, I prepared to buy some jewelry for my wife. Such a beautiful and sensible wife deserves to be pampered.
Xiao Yu and Shen Youyu had just left the Xiao Prince's Mansion.
Suddenly, a ragged man strode over, blocked Xiao Yu's path, and asked, "Sir, are you from the Prince's residence?"
As he spoke, he stared at Shen Youyu for a few seconds, but when he noticed Xiao Yu's eyes turn cold, he quickly looked away.
"What's up?"
Xiao Yu's gaze swept over the man, wondering what his purpose was.
The man was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. His clothes had at least seven or eight patches, were dirty, and his hair was somewhat messy with a stubble beard.
"I want to find Prince Xiao."
The man spoke first, then asked Xiao Yu, "Do you know him?"
"know."
Seeing the man's furtive manner, Xiao Yu didn't reveal his identity directly, but instead asked, "What do you want with Xiao Yu?"
"I've come to thank him, and then I'll take my wife home."
After saying that, the man added, "My name is Wu Shoucai, and my wife's name is Su Yun. I heard that she was rescued by Prince Xiao and is now in the Prince's mansion... I've come to take my wife home."
Su Yun's husband?
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes.
Su Yun said that she was sold to a gambling den by her husband, and then the people in the gambling den handed her over to Liu Guogong!
"How do you know she was saved by Prince Xiao?"
Xiao Yu countered with a question.
"Someone saw my wife; she came to the Prince's mansion with the constables from the Dali Temple..."
Wu Shoucai continued, "Later I went to the Dali Temple to inquire, and they said that my wife's name was indeed among the people that Prince Xiao saved. They also said that Prince Xiao would send these women home or take them in at the Prince's Mansion. I waited at home all day yesterday, but my wife didn't show up, so I came to look for her first thing this morning!"
After saying that, he asked again, "Do you know Prince Xiao or not? If you don't, I'll go ask the guards at the gate myself!"
"I am Prince Xiao."
Knowing the other party's purpose, Xiao Yu immediately revealed his identity and coldly said, "Didn't you sell your wife?"
"I...I..."
Wu Shoucai stammered a few times, then said, "I was forced into it. Those people who brought the gambling den beat me with sticks. I had no choice but to sell my wife! Actually, I love my wife very much. Your Highness, since you saved my wife, please give her back to me, okay?"
After saying that, he knelt down directly in front of Xiao Yu.
This kind of person is a rogue and a scoundrel. He has no qualms about kneeling down to anyone, and he can even kneel down to beg for a few taels of silver.
Xiao Yu knew, of course, that Wu Shoucai was that kind of person. He said coldly, "If you want your wife to go back, go to the gambling den and redeem her indenture. Then I'll let you take her home."
After saying that, he took Shen Youyu's fair and soft hand and prepared to leave.
"Are you a bully too?"
Wu Shoucai shouted, "The people all say you are a good person, praising you for bringing down Duke Liu and saving many people... Now, you are imprisoning my wife in the palace. You only want to keep her here because she is beautiful. You and Duke Liu are cut from the same cloth!"
"Juro is not that kind of person."
Shen Youyu frowned slightly and said, "It was Miss Su Yun who chose to stay in the Prince's mansion. Now that you've sold her out, she has nothing to do with you anymore!"
"My lady, you don't need to explain to him."
Xiao Yu sneered and said, "Explaining to this kind of person is a waste of breath! If you really care about your wife the most, why did you sell her in the first place? When she was imprisoned by the gambling den, when she was imprisoned by Duke Liu, how did you plan to rescue her? Ha!"
“They are bad people, and I dare not mess with them.”
Wu Shoucai stammered, "You, aren't you a good person?"
Should good people be allowed to have a gun pointed at them?
Xiao Yu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said in a chilling tone, "Did I say I was a good person? Unless Su Yun wants to go back herself, if you dare to bother me again, I'll break your legs!"
One sentence was enough to make Wu Shoucai's legs go weak.
In fact, he had arrived long ago. The reason he didn't dare to go to the gate of the Prince's Mansion to ask was because he had heard of Xiao Yu's fearsome reputation!
This man killed Liu Yunfei in the street, beheaded Liu Quan, and even cut off Liu Guogong's legs when he was imprisoned...
Therefore, Wu Shoucai had been guarding the door. When he saw a young couple come out, he went to ask them questions. Unexpectedly, the man was Xiao Yu.
"roll!"
Seeing that Wu Shoucai was terrified, Xiao Yu shouted coldly.
"I'm leaving right now, I'm leaving right now!"
Wu Shoucai was so frightened that he wet himself and quickly staggered away.
Should we tell Su Yun about this?
After Wu Shoucai had disappeared from sight, Shen Youyu asked.
"No need."
Xiao Yu shook his head and explained, "He didn't really want to bring Su Yun home. He just didn't have any money and had ulterior motives towards Su Yun."
From Wu Shoucai's clothes with seven or eight patches and his sallow and emaciated appearance, Xiao Yu knew that he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time, and he was unsteady on his feet when he walked.
If Su Yun goes back with this gambling addict, she'll probably be sold again very soon.
"Su Yun is quite pitiful."
Shen Youyu couldn't help but sigh, then looked at Xiao Yu with a gentle smile in her eyes.
Su Yun was pitiful, but Xiao Yu saved her.
It wasn't just Su Yun and those women; without Xiao Yu, Shen Youyu wouldn't have been able to leave Baoyue Tower so easily.
Looking at her man, tall and straight, with a strong chest, handsome features, overflowing talent, kind heart, and a strong sense of justice... at this moment, Xiao Yu was simply the epitome of a great hero in Shen Youyu's heart!
This is her man!
The way Shen Youyu looked at Xiao Yu was enough to melt anyone's heart.
"Wife?"
Xiao Yu was puzzled as to why his wife had suddenly started spacing out, so he reached out and waved his hand in front of her bright eyes.
"It's nothing... I just suddenly realized that Juro is really nice."
The gentle tenderness of the young fish is like that of the waterway.
"That's called 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'."
Xiao Yu said with a grin.
Who is Xi Shi?
Shen Youyu did not understand what Xiao Yu was saying.
"...It's hard to explain."
After thinking for a few seconds, Xiao Yu gave up trying to explain, because it was impossible to explain clearly. "In short, my wife is the most beautiful in my eyes, and I am the best in my wife's eyes!"
“Yes, Shiro is the best!” Shen Youyu said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu pondered for two seconds and said seriously, "In that case, my wife should say every morning when she wakes up, 'Shi Lang was great last night!'"
