The person who was able to buy her from the madam must be at least more valuable than the Princess Su who sold her, and may even be more valuable than the Prince Su.
Jiang Yi pretended to be terrified and asked the madam, "Who did you sell me to? If I go out and am caught by Princess Su, she will sell me to a brothel..."
The madam said, "Princess Su wouldn't dare. Not only would Princess Su not dare, but even Prince Su wouldn't dare to take someone from this gentleman."
Jiang Yi felt that it was more likely that this person was the emperor.
But even so, Jiang Yi did not feel that he was out of the predicament.
She was just an ordinary peasant girl of humble origin. The emperor redeemed her simply because of Prince Su or Xu Youqi.
But it doesn't matter, she is willing to be the emperor's pawn to deal with Xu Youqi and Shen Congyan.
It’s not that she can’t be exploited. What she hates is deception and exploitation in the name of love.
Thinking of this, she felt a little excited.
After leaving Baihua Tower, Jiang Yi saw the man who redeemed her. The man was sitting in a carriage, wearing a crescent-shaped white brocade robe. He had a thin figure, a handsome face, and an elegant posture.
This man's temperament is somewhat similar to Shen Congyan. Because of his experience with Shen Congyan, Jiang Yi instinctively resists this kind of elegant and noble young man.
It’s more like fear than resistance.
When she saw him, she couldn't help but think of Shen Congyan, and her body trembled unconsciously.
The man saw this and chuckled softly, his gentle eyes full of mockery. "I'm not going to eat you, what are you afraid of?"
"Come, sit here." He pointed to the seat opposite.
Jiang Yi sat down opposite him, still very reserved.
"You look nothing like the calm and composed person you were at the Hundred Flowers Tower. You're like a bewitching enchantress." The man seemed puzzled. "Is it because of me?"
Jiang Yi folded his hands and didn't dare to answer.
"You look like a pure and innocent little woman." He suddenly leaned forward and sniffed. "It's strange that a woman, especially one who has been in a brothel for a few days, can have such a clean scent."
Jiang Yi felt nervous.
She suddenly realized that although the man in front of her had a similar temperament to Shen Congyan, he seemed to be even worse than Shen Congyan.
He looked at her wantonly.
"Such a contrast makes people even more moved. No wonder Prince Su..."
He suddenly sat back and said, "I'm not going to tease you anymore. Let's get down to business. Regarding your husband, Xu Youqi, your nominal husband, what was his background like and how did you meet him? Tell me everything you know."
When talking about business, Jiang Yi's fear dissipated a little.
She began to speak in detail.
"He was an orphan. When he was four years old, he wandered to Aoli Village. Coincidentally, Xu's parents had no children, so they raised him."
"He was different from other people in the village. He was very good at studying and was the first person in our village to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar.
"He and I..."
"When he was very young, only eleven years old at the time, he was very good at studying and everyone in the village praised him, but many of his peers also disliked him and bullied him privately."
"That day he was stoned by villagers and his head was bleeding. I happened to see him."
"I bandaged his wound, and that's how we met. After that, every time he came back from the school in town, he would bring me a piece of candy."
"As we grew older, some rumors started to spread in the village. Perhaps because he was afraid of the rumors, he didn't contact me for two months."
"Although I felt very disappointed at that time, I also knew that I was not worthy of him, so I didn't force it."
"Then he contacted me again, and this time he expressed his feelings to me."
"At the time, I just said that I wasn't good enough for him and didn't want to delay him, but he said that he had wanted to restrain his feelings for me, but the longing for me was like a bone-biting poison that penetrated deep into his bones, and he couldn't do anything about it."
"Then I married him."
"You should also know what happened afterwards."
The man kept knocking on the carriage wall, as if thinking, "So after you got married, did he do anything wrong? Or did he meet anyone unusual?"
Jiang Yi thought carefully.
She remembered every little detail of her and Xu Youqi's past.
"It seems that when we were just getting married, a dark-skinned man often came to see him. I once vaguely heard him say that I was not worthy of Xu Youqi and that I would ruin their important event..."
"At the time, I thought he thought Xu Youqi marrying me wouldn't help his studies at all."
"I asked him about it later, and he said that person was his classmate. I haven't seen that person since then."
The man nodded. "Okay, that's enough."
He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, not saying anything more. Jiang Yi also breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yi was taken to a small alley, and the man said to her, "From now on, you are mine. You can live here first. If you need anything, just tell me."
Jiang Yi boldly asked: "Can you tell me who you are?"
She was somewhat resistant to this person in her heart. She always felt that this person was more terrifying than Shen Congyan.
But then he heard the man laugh and say, "I am the prince of the Duke of Rong's mansion, and I am the Minister of Personnel."
