Qiao Xuanwen raised an eyebrow and smiled upon hearing this, "Then Yin'er, what do you plan to do?"
Liu Yin reached out and tugged at the man's sleeve, her tone filled with pity.
"Why don't we let this young lady kneel here for a while? Five taels of silver for an hour, depending on how much she needs."
"good."
Qiao Xuanwen waved his hand, "Changqing, have someone watch over this woman. If she kneels for an hour, it's five taels; if she kneels for two hours, it's ten taels."
Although Qiao Xuanwen was extravagant, he knew that for these people at the bottom of society, ten taels of silver was more money than they could earn in a month.
Sigh, Yin'er is just too kind-hearted. If it were him, he would have ordered someone to drive him away immediately.
The woman, who had been beaming with joy, choked up and stopped herself from saying thank you.
What's the meaning?
Judging from Liu Yin's tone, she thought the Crown Princess in front of her would be a kind woman, but she didn't expect her to be so vicious.
How could the Crown Prince marry such a vicious woman?
Even though she was indignant inside, the woman dared not show it on her face. "Thank you, Madam. I am willing to serve you as your servant to express my gratitude."
"Please give me a chance to repay your kindness, Madam."
Liu Yin was getting impatient. The woman's determined look at Qiao Xuanwen disgusted her.
How dare someone steal her things before she even got tired of them?
I was originally going to let her go, but now it seems that I don't need to.
Liu Yin's expression also turned cold. "If you really want to thank me, why don't you give me your eyes?"
After saying that, Liu Yin looked at Qiao Xuanwen and said, "Didn't my husband want to give me a gift recently? I think her eyes are quite bright."
"Why don't we just cut it off and put it in the box?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, seemingly not expecting the gentle Crown Princess to make such a request.
However, Qiao Xuanwen was the first to react, his eyes immediately filled with smiles, "Of course, if you like it, I'll definitely get it for you."
The prince spoke, and his attendants stopped the woman who was trying to escape.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong," the woman knelt down and pleaded. "Please, Your Highness and Your Highness's wife, have mercy on me this time."
No one paid attention to the woman's desperate pleas.
This place is actually quite remote, but the scenery is beautiful; it's just a bit far from Beijing.
Therefore, apart from their group, there was no one else around.
After Qiao Xuanwen led Liuyin into the painted boat, he still couldn't hide the smile on his face.
Even after what happened, he didn't think Liuyin was a bad woman; he just felt that she cared about him a lot.
The woman next to him glanced at him, and she was about to gouge out the other woman's eyes.
The thought that Liu Yin liked him and cared about him filled Qiao Xuanwen with excitement.
Qiao Xuanwen couldn't help but hug Liu Yin and kiss her cheek. "Yin'er, I'm so happy."
Liu Yin gave him a strange look. "What's there to be happy about? Don't you think I'm a bad person?"
"Not bad, I like it."
Qiao Xuanwen felt no ill will towards Liu Yin, who was about to gouge out other people's eyes.
Everything in this world is inherently unfair. The concepts of superiority and inferiority are like an insurmountable chasm, firmly blocking ordinary people who want to transcend class boundaries.
Whether they can overcome this challenge depends on their intentions; if they fail, utter destruction is to be expected.
Just like the casino he ran, it was a microcosm of life, and there were quite a few people who had their hands and feet cut off because they couldn't pay their bets.
The crimson blood spread across the ground; the more vibrant the color, the greater the pain and the more agonizing the screams.
Meanwhile, Qiao Xuanwen and his friends sat upstairs, watching the miserable state of those at the bottom of society with unrestrained laughter.
Qiao Xuanwen also liked Liu Yin's rare display of malice.
From that moment on, Qiao Xuanwen knew that Liu Yin was not as gentle as he had imagined.
It doesn't matter, as long as they love each other.

The next day, Qiao Xuanwen learned that Gu Li had gone to the border.
He paused for a moment, then ordered his men to recall the spies in the general's mansion.
Qiao Xuanwen also had a complicated feeling about Gu Li.
Later, he learned the details of the incident from his spies.
When Gu Li first brought Liu Yin back, their relationship was indeed very good, and he even considered marrying Liu Yin.
But the old lady of the general's mansion was unwilling, and Gu Li also hesitated.
It was probably because Gu Li told Liu Yin his thoughts that she angrily left the General's Mansion.
Liuyin lied to him.
When Gu Li and Qiao Xuanwen returned, they were mutually in love, which was the reason why Qiao Xuanwen had been worried.
But now, Gu Li has left the capital.
He was indeed a good general, strategizing brilliantly on the battlefield, but surprisingly muddle-headed when it came to family matters.
Qiao Xuanwen sighed, and from then on, he no longer needed to care about the affairs of the General's Mansion.

Princess Fu'an was worried that her son would revert to his old ways after marriage, spending his days going out early and returning late, and going to casinos with those noble young men.
He was still thinking about how to explain his situation to his daughter-in-law.
But she later discovered that all her worries were unnecessary.
With his son constantly by his wife's side, he no longer has time to go to the casino as before.
Her son had changed his ways, but Princess Fu'an was starting to feel uneasy again.
In the past, she would nag and try to persuade him all the time, but her son wouldn't listen.
Now, he's willing to stay in the Marquis's mansion and accompany his wife simply because she stands in front of him.
Her mood lasted only a few days before it suddenly dissipated.
When Princess Fu'an learned of Liuyin's pregnancy, she was initially incredulous, but then her face unconsciously lit up with a smile.
She rushed to Qiao Xuanwen's courtyard and looked at Liuyin lying on the bed, feeling somewhat worried.
"Imperial Physician, how is my daughter-in-law? Is she really pregnant?"
The middle-aged man with a few strands of gray hair nodded. "Princess, the Crown Princess is indeed pregnant."
"However," the man cautiously looked up at the elegant and noble princess, and said carefully, "it has been more than two months."
"I see."
Princess Fu'an looked at Qiao Xuanwen sitting by the bed and felt that nothing about him was pleasing to the eye.
"Xuanwen, why don't you go out and see the imperial physician off?"
Qiao Xuanwen squeezed Liu Yin's hand and nodded, "Okay."
He then leaned down and whispered in Liuyin's ear, "What do you want to eat? I'll bring it to you when I get back."
"Just like always."
Looking at the scene before him, the middle-aged man was somewhat confused, even though he had given a very clear warning this time.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Prince has only been married for a little over a month.
However, he couldn't explain it clearly either.
