Chapter 322 I'll Give You Double the Price
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir was shocked: "What?"
Li Rou resisted the urge to look up at the person, her eyes filled with sadness.
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir glanced quickly at Li Rou. Seeing that the young girl remained unmoved, a look of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He said helplessly, "Please don't joke, Miss. I already have someone in my heart and cannot tolerate any other nonsense."
Yu Zhiyi gave Li Rou a meaningful look: "I see."
Li Rou continued to act like a quail, not daring to even raise her head. Naturally, she didn't see that when the Marquis of Wu'an's heir said "there is already someone in his heart," his gaze was fixed on her.
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir also looked at Li Rou. Seeing that she kept her head down, he lowered his eyes in disappointment and said, "Miss, I'll go and get back to work."
Yu Zhiyi waved her hand: "Go, and remember to wear the amulet."
The Marquis of Wu'an's heir replied, "Don't worry, Miss, I always carry the amulet with me."
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an returned to gather his men and prepare for departure.
Yu Zhiyi followed Jiang Yuwei and his wife toward the carriage parked at the door.
Miss Wei's gaze had been following the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an, and she followed him as if possessed: "Hey!"
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an looked at the unfamiliar girl with suspicion: "Are you calling me, young lady?"
"It's you."
Miss Wei proudly raised her head: "How much did that woman pay you? I'll give you double. You come and be my bodyguard, how about it?"
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an: "?"
Before he could speak, Miss Wei continued, "I know you were personally recruited by Second Master Jiang to be her bodyguard, and the threshold for the Martial Alliance is high enough. However, I am not some nobody."
"You know the Wei family of Jiangnan, right? I am the eldest daughter of the Wei family."
"You'll be my bodyguard, and I'll pay you double. Plus, if you do a good job, I'll give you an even bigger reward. How about it?"
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an was speechless: "Not interested."
Given his status, he wouldn't even consider paying double the price, let alone ten or twenty times it.
Could that so-called more generous reward possibly be more promising than inheriting the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion?
He ignored the clueless young lady and walked away.
"Hello!"
Miss Wei watched his indifferent back as he left without looking back, and stomped her foot angrily: "How can you be so ungrateful!"
"What can you get from following that woman besides that meager monthly salary? But if you follow me, I can find you martial arts manuals, divine weapons, and even elixirs to increase your power!"
The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an walked even faster.
Miss Wei: "!!"
She was furious: "That ungrateful man!"
Chen Xinyue emerged from around the corner, her eyes filled with gloom.
She hadn't expected that the guards Jiang Erye had found would be so loyal.
Indeed, despite the fact that the Marquis of Wu'an's heir and others had stated that they were Yu Zhiyi's people and had nothing to do with Second Master Jiang, Chen Xinyue still did not believe it.
That young master was not only handsome, but also had an extraordinary demeanor. There were few people in the entire martial arts world who could match his bearing.
Would such a person willingly become a woman's protector?
impossible!
Suppressing her resentment without making a sound, she patted Miss Wei on the shoulder: "Let it go. Perhaps Second Sister gave him some reason he couldn't refuse? Everyone has their own ambitions, so let's not force him."
A cold glint flashed in Miss Wei's eyes: "An inability to refuse?
If fame and fortune cannot tempt you, then the only remaining reason is...
***
At the entrance of the resort.
The Jiang family couple and Yu Zhiyi stood in front of the carriage.
Jiang Yuwei only prepared one carriage.
It wasn't because he was so unrestrained as to completely disregard his niece's reputation, but because he planned to ride a horse.
Throughout the journey, the couple kept reminding her to be careful with her words and actions, and to try to get away with breaking her promise in one go.
Yu Zhiyi said twice, "Madam Song won't be angry," but the couple wouldn't listen, so she had no choice but to shut up.
Jiang Yuchuan had already climbed onto the carriage, and Lin Jingxuan was also preparing to let Yu Zhiyi get on first.
Just then, someone came from down the mountain to report: "Alliance Leader, Prefect Song and his wife have arrived!"
Jiang Yuwei was taken aback: "The Prefect himself has come?"
Really?
It's just standing someone up.
Is it really necessary to get so angry that you personally come to their door to confront them?
If Prefect Song is really that angry...
He quickly calculated, then suddenly turned to look at Yu Zhiyi: "Jin'er, you should step back behind the door. If I don't let you come out, then don't come out."
If Madam Song is really angry enough to demand an explanation in person, then Jin'er should not show up.
Yu Zhiyi sighed helplessly: "Uncle, it's really nothing. They're not here to interrogate us."
Jiang Yuwei frowned: "Jin'er, I'm too young and don't understand many things. This kind of thing may sound absurd, but there are really a lot of petty people in this world who would want to ruin a family over a small disagreement."
He sighed, "Alright, you can go back now. I'll let you out when the time is right."
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Seeing that her uncle was genuinely looking out for her, Yu Zhiyi didn't argue anymore.
Anyway, they'll know once Prefect Song and his wife arrive.
Yu Zhiyi retreated behind the gate.
She couldn't wait much longer and was too lazy to go through all that trouble.
After all, even if she herself didn't mind the fatigue, Li Rou was just an ordinary person and not suited to traveling back and forth.
Chen Xinyue asked in confusion, "Second sister, why are you back again?"
Yu Zhiyi glanced at her lazily: "It's nothing."
Chen Xinyue: "..."
Oh.
Does that little bitch think she can't find out if she doesn't tell her?
She went and asked directly!
With a cold expression, she walked up to the Jiang couple and asked with concern, "Uncle, Aunt, weren't you going to take my sister to apologize to the Prefect's wife? Why did she go back?"
Lin Jingxuan disliked Chen Ruolan and her daughter, and was too lazy to answer their questions.
Chen Xinyue didn't receive an immediate response, and pouted in grievance.
Jiang Yuwei couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Prefect Song and his wife have come in person."
Chen Xinyue was taken aback: "Prefect Song and his wife came in person? Are they that angry?"
Jiang Yuwei sighed.
Sure enough, everyone's first reaction was that Prefect Song and his wife were very angry.
He shook his head: "I don't know what happened either."
Although he told Yu Zhiyi about those bizarre and extreme cases, he felt that Prefect Song was not that kind of person.
Chen Xinyue also felt that the Prefect Song she saw that night was not such a petty person.
etc……
Prefect Song may not be petty, but what about his wife?
Prefect Song openly hosted a welcoming banquet for an unknown young girl.
She was a beautiful girl.
Her eyes darted around, and she thought she had guessed the truth: "Uncle, Aunt, if I may be so bold, Prefect Song and the others may not have come about breaking their promise."
