Chapter 13: Xie Yan blushed from being humiliated
Xie Yan's heart beat faster with excitement, the corners of his eyes turned red, and his cold and pale face actually became a little more colorful.
Not to mention kneeling down to Shengsheng, even if Shengsheng wanted his life, he would give it up willingly!
But no, if he really kneeled down, Shengsheng would find it strange.
If Shengsheng discovered his dirty thoughts, he would never have the chance to get close to Shengsheng again.
Xie Yan cleared his throat and tried to change the subject: "I just came back from the black market tonight and found a clue there. I thought the princess must be worried, so I wanted to tell her, but I accidentally forgot the time."
When Ruan Yunsheng saw Xie Yan blushing because of her humiliation, the anger in her heart finally subsided a little.
Xie Yan, this old-fashioned guy, must be so ashamed and angry that he wants to die after being humiliated by her!
Ruan Yunsheng had no intention of actually making Xie Yan kneel down. After all, even a cornered rabbit would bite.
Xie Yan is a prince now. If you really make him angry, he might do something.
What if he goes against the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, then wouldn't the plot develop like a storybook?
She just wanted to warn Xie Yan to prevent him from thinking that the Marquis' Mansion was a place where he could come and go as he pleased.
Ruan Yunsheng stopped when he saw that he had made progress and asked coldly, "What clue?"
Xie Yan coughed twice. "I caught someone who said he had seen the Sun and Moon Jade Bi with his own eyes. I made an appointment with him that the next time the black market opens, he will take me to see the person who has the Sun and Moon Jade Bi."
Xie Yan said it lightly, as if he had just made an appointment with someone to take a walk together.
But in fact, he fed the loach poison. If the loach could not get the antidote he gave within half a month, it would die of intestinal rupture.
Ruan Yunsheng looked at Xie Yan suspiciously, "What evidence do you have for what you just said? Why should I believe you?"
Xie Yan said, "The underground black market only opens twice a month. If I still don't get any clues about the Sun and Moon Jade Bi in half a month, I will leave it to the princess to decide."
Ruan Yunsheng stood up barefoot on the carpet, and the hem of her skirt made a slight sound as it swept across the edge of the wooden couch.
She slowly approached Xie Yan, her nose almost touching his collar, and sniffed lightly with the corners of her eyes slightly raised.
She has a very sensitive nose and can distinguish various smells.
Xie Yanxijie used to have a refreshing medicinal scent and a light sandalwood scent around him, but tonight was different.
The cracks in the black brocade were filled with the unique smell of wet mud from the underground river, mixed with a faint smell of blood. Even the usual cold fragrance was suppressed by this turbid breath.
Ruan Yunsheng quickly determined that Xie Yan had indeed been to the underground black market tonight, but no one knew what he did specifically.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Next time the black market opens, I want to go with you."
When Ruan Yunsheng came closer, Xie Yan's Adam's apple rolled heavily and he looked away in embarrassment.
Shengsheng was too close to him, and he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself and do something out of line.
Hearing that Ruan Yunsheng was going to the black market, Xie Yan frowned and refused without thinking: "No."
How could Shengsheng go to such a dirty and filthy place as the black market?
Ruan Yunsheng looked at him coldly, "Xie Yan, I'm not discussing this with you."
She glanced at Xie Yan's bound arms and said, "The poison you were poisoned with tonight was given to me by my fourth brother a long time ago. No one in the world can cure it except the antidote he gave me."
"If you don't want your inner strength to be wasted, you'd better do as I say."
Xie Yan frowned, "I promise that I will bring the person to you in half a month, and then you can interrogate him personally, but you really can't go to places like the black market!"
Ruan Yunsheng snorted coldly: "Xie Yan, you don't seem to understand your current situation. I'm informing you, not discussing with you."
"Don't forget, not only were you poisoned tonight, but you also needed the Hanxiang Feiyun Grass in my hand as a medicine."
"Also," she changed the subject and continued, "If it weren't for your letter five years ago, I wouldn't have fallen into the icy lake, let alone walked along the Naihe Bridge!"
"You owe me half your life, why would you reject me?"
Xie Yan's breath was choked. Causing Sheng Sheng to fall into the lake was indeed an incident that would forever pain him.
Even if Shengsheng is standing in front of him now, it cannot change the fact that he almost killed her.
Xie Yan took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and compromised: "Okay, I promise you."

The next day.
Bai Ruowei didn't sleep all night. She was itchy all over and she wanted to scratch her skin to pieces. There was no antidote for the "scratching incense" and seeing a doctor was useless.
In order to avoid damaging her beautiful face, she had no choice but to let Qiu Xin tie her hands and feet, stuff cotton in her mouth, and endure the whole night in agony, almost losing half her life!
She suspected that Ruan Yunsheng did it on purpose, but that shouldn't be the case.
In the original novel, Ruan Yunsheng was just a cannon fodder who died as soon as she appeared. How could a cannon fodder female supporting role possibly see through the methods of the heroine herself?
It must be just a coincidence, right?
After Bai Ruowei regained her composure, she came to Jinxiang Tower with a gloomy expression.
Not long after arriving at Jinxiang Tower, a servant came upstairs and said, "Miss, Miss Sun Er from the Taiwei Mansion sent a maid to say that her Jiuwan Lanxin incense is out of use and she needs to get some more."
Bai Ruowei nodded and said, "Just give it to her directly. No need to charge money."
The servant said in embarrassment: "But Miss, the price of Jiuwan Lanxinxiang is not low. If we don't charge a penny, Jinxianglou will definitely lose money in the long run."
Bai Ruowei often gave those rich young ladies precious spices, so those noble ladies were willing to get along with her.
Bai Ruowei didn't care about this, "You guys are just too shallow. Just do as I say."
Sun Manying is not only the daughter of the Grand Marshal, but also the sister of Princess Duan.
In the original novel, Princess Duan will die of childbirth complications two years later, and her sister Sun Manying will then marry Prince Duan.
Although no one knows about her affair with Prince Duan yet, when she becomes the queen in the future, she will definitely have to deal with the concubines in Xie Huaiye's harem.
She won people's hearts and established a good relationship with Sun Manying in advance, which would save her a lot of trouble in managing the harem in the future.
What's more, what does it matter if Jinxianglou loses money?
Anyway, she has Ruan Yunbo, a cash cow, behind her. A few days ago, Ruan Yunbo even promised to give her branches of the best-located shops under his name.
At this time, another servant came upstairs to report: "Miss, the servant Tingsong of Master Ruan San has come and said he has brought a gift for you."
Upon learning that Ruan Yunbo had sent another gift, Bai Ruowei smiled proudly.
Look, the money tree is here to give her money again.
When she left the restaurant yesterday, she was in such a hurry that she forgot to take the precious nine-treasure hairpin with her, and she was a little upset.
However, Ruan Yunbo, this bootlicker, sent people to bring her more treasures as usual!
Bai Ruowei put on a cold expression and said calmly, "Please ask him to come in."
Soon, Tingsong went upstairs.
In the past, Tingsong would bring several servants with him to carry things in.
Unexpectedly, he came alone this time, holding only a white plum blossom in his hand.
Bai Ruowei looked at Tingsong in astonishment and couldn't help but look behind him. Qiu Xin next to her also opened her eyes wide in shock. Could there be something else behind him?
