The hot July passed quickly, and when the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers began to smell fragrant, there were more people on the streets.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Even people from humble families attach great importance to the moon worship and need to buy a lot of items.

That day Jiang Yi went out to buy a lantern for Yanyan.

It is also a Mid-Autumn Festival custom for children to play with lanterns under the moon.

After carefully selecting a carp lantern and a jade rabbit lantern in the shop, Jiang Yi handed them to the maid, then walked out of the shop and entered a shop selling antiques.

Her father's birthday is coming soon, and she plans to pick out a precious item as a birthday gift for her father.

Jiang Yi entered the Treasure Pavilion, a well-known place in the capital.

The Treasure House is located in the bustling West Street. Although it is not the largest curio shop in Beijing, it is exquisite.

As soon as we entered, a waiter came to greet us.

Jiang Yi walked around the lobby on the first floor and asked the waiter, "Do you have any jade pendants of better quality?"

The waiter immediately smiled and said, "Madam, please go upstairs."

Jiang Yi nodded and went upstairs with her maid.

A waitress stood at the entrance of the stairs, leading the way and saying with a smile, "Madam, if you want to see better items, please go inside."

Jiang Yi was led into an elegant room by a female waiter.

The elegant room was decorated in a simple and elegant manner, with a row of screens separating the inside and outside. On a high table against the wall stood a three-colored duck-billed incense burner, emitting fragrant mist.

Jiang Yi frowned slightly.

Her sense of smell is naturally more sensitive than that of ordinary people, but not as strong as her sister's.

Therefore, she doesn't like to use spices on a daily basis.

Jiang Yi was a person who didn't like to cause trouble. Although she didn't like the fragrance in the room, she didn't say much and started to choose jade pieces based on the recommendation of the female shopkeeper.

"I wonder who the Madam bought it for?"

"Pick a birthday gift for Dad."

The shopkeeper brought a tray with a few jade pieces on a red velvet mat.

"Madam, please take a look. This Pisces jade pendant is exquisitely crafted and made of top-quality mutton-fat white jade. It is most suitable for men to wear..."

Jiang Yi picked up the jade pendant, looked at it carefully, and nodded slightly.

The female shopkeeper picked up another jade piece and said, "There is also this jade white deer ring. It has a very good meaning. Madam, do you think it suits your taste..."

Jiang Yi selected carefully, and time passed by unknowingly, like the fragrant mist that kept coming out of the duck's mouth.

She suddenly felt a little sleepy, rubbed her eyebrows with her hands, and called the maid.

No one answered.

Jiang Yi couldn't help but glance at the maid, but found that the little maid was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

She was startled and tried to stand up, but she felt dizzy and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The female shopkeeper wiped the sweat from her palms onto her clothes, and rushed to the screen in fear and shouted: "Sir... Sir, the person has fallen asleep..."

Two people came out from behind a screen embroidered with flowers blooming in all seasons, one in front and one behind. The one walking in front was the prince, and the one following behind was a white-faced, beardless eunuch.

The female shopkeeper did not dare to raise her head and hurriedly bowed to the prince.

The prince took a look at the beautiful woman sleeping soundly on the table and waved his hand: "Go out."

The female shopkeeper responded and hurried out. When she reached the corridor outside the door, she sighed softly.

Wicked...

But she had no choice but to compromise under the power of the powerful and do this heartless thing...

The room was still filled with fragrance. The prince walked to Jiang Yi's side, stretched out his hand to pinch her snow-white chin and looked at her carefully for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction: "She is indeed a beauty picked out of a million. It's worth my thinking about her for so long."

The smooth touch of the other person's soft skin made the prince more eager, and he ordered the eunuch: "Carry the person behind the screen for me.

There is a low couch behind the screen, which is very convenient.

The eunuch responded and went to drag Jiang Yi away.

"Hurry up--" the prince urged.

Neither of them noticed that there was suddenly a person hanging upside down in the open window.

The man took a look inside, then immediately jumped out of the window, landed silently behind the two men, and chopped down the prince and the eunuch with his two hands, knocking them unconscious.

He picked up a person in one hand and threw him onto the low couch behind the screen, and the person quickly stuffed a pill into Jiang Yi's hand.

Jiang Yi woke up slowly, and her eyes suddenly widened when she saw the person in front of her.

The man immediately whispered, "Madam, please stop shouting. I am the King of Yan's man."

Jiang Yi swallowed her cry and asked in a trembling voice, "What's going on?"

The man pointed behind the screen and whispered, "Just look at it and don't make any noise."

Jiang Yi was surprised and uncertain. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked behind the screen.

This one look immediately scared me out of my wits.

There were two men on the couch behind the screen!

"them--"

"Madam, please don't worry about them. Please leave as soon as possible."

Only then did Jiang Yi look at the maid who was still sleeping.

The man took out a pill and stuffed it into the maid's mouth, then said to Jiang Yi, "When she wakes up, you can take her away openly to avoid ruining your reputation..."

Jiang Yi felt sad and nodded heavily.

It would be hard to explain if someone caught her in the same room with two grown men.

Seeing that Jiang Yi did not lose his mind when faced with such a thing, the man secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hid behind the screen.

The maid woke up quickly and looked around in confusion: "Master——"

"Take the lantern I picked for my sister and let's go." Jiang Yi said calmly, her heart already filled with shock.

The maid couldn't figure out what was strange for a moment, and cursed inwardly that she actually fell asleep. She hurriedly picked up the lantern and followed Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi took a step forward, her calves went weak, and she nearly fell.

"Master, be careful—" The maid reached out to help.

Jiang Yi secretly pinched her palms and cursed herself in her heart: Fourth sister has encountered so many things at such a young age and has already taken on so much, she can't even not get over this hurdle!

Exhaling deeply, Jiang Yi pushed the door open and walked out.

The female shopkeeper had already hidden downstairs.

When she saw Jiang Yi coming down the stairs with her maid, her eyes widened and she cried out in a choked voice: "Madam, why are you coming down——"

That's not right. According to the previous plan, it was the nobleman who fell in love with this lady and planned to drug her and force her to have sex with him. How come the lady just came down like nothing happened in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that she was thinking wrongly, and it was not a case of forced rape at all, but a consensual affair, and knocking her out was just the nobleman's little hobby?

Looking at Jiang Yi who walked down steadily with an expressionless face, the female shopkeeper couldn't help but wonder: If this is the case, the nobleman was too quick...

Jiang Yi walked up to the female shopkeeper, suppressed the urge to slap her hard, and said calmly: "I didn't find a suitable one, so I came down naturally."

It was not until Jiang Yi and her maid walked out of the store that the female manager reacted and hurried upstairs.

The door of the elegant room was ajar. The female shopkeeper opened it and went straight behind the screen.

Two men were lying naked on a low couch behind the screen.

The scene was so exciting that the female shopkeeper covered her mouth and backed away repeatedly.

There was a loud bang and the screen fell down.
