Gradually, Xiao Yang was no longer satisfied with just kissing Song Yan'er's lips, and his hands began to roam over Song Yan'er's graceful body.
Song Yan'er felt increasingly overwhelmed by Xiao Yang; this guy was getting better and better at flirting. The breathing beside her grew heavier, and his actions became increasingly inappropriate!
Just as Song Yan'er felt she was about to die, Bai Zihua's voice came over. Xiao Yang also released Song Yan'er in a slightly panicked manner. Song Yan'er then leaned against the wall, panting heavily.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Yang.
"Sister, don't look at me like that, I can't take it!"
Xiao Yang took Song Yan'er's hand and peered down at himself, looking at her meaningfully.
Song Yan'er quickly withdrew her hand, her face turning bright red.
"Pah! Xiao Yang, you're getting more and more shameless! Pay a little attention to your image, you're supposed to be a scholar!"
Are all men naturally gifted in this area? I was a complete novice before, but now I'm clearly a master.
Before I could say anything more, I saw that Bai Zihua had already arrived!
"Cousin, I've been looking for you for ages! What have you been doing here? Where does this secret passage lead?"
"Hey, cousin-in-law, what are you doing here?" Bai Zihua belatedly realized that Song Yan'er was also here!
Because when Xiao Yang asked the Fourth Prince to borrow someone, he didn't say that Song Yan'er had been captured, he only said he was rescuing someone, without specifying who it was! So Bai Zihua was quite curious about why Song Yan'er would be here!
"Well, I was just passing by and saw Xiao Yang, so I followed him!" Song Yan'er lied without batting an eye. Song Yan'er felt she had no choice but to lie; these days, if you were kidnapped, you'd lose your virginity. Didn't you see how desperate those girls who were arrested were?
"Is that so? My cousin and I came together, but I didn't see you!"
"Alright, let's move forward. Your cousin-in-law is with me, how would you see her!"
Conversation killer! Awesome!
The three of them emerged from the secret passage into the cave. Xiao Yang and Bai Zihua were stunned when they saw the gold and silver treasures inside; they hadn't expected so much. Even a lowly bandit was so wealthy. Meanwhile, the soldiers received the lowest pay and did the most dangerous work!
"Sister-in-law, take a look and see if there's anything you like. I'll ask my older cousin for some to give you!"
Song Yan'er...
I found this, and you expect me to beg for it and give it to me? Luckily I hid all that gold, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten any!
Xiao Yang glanced at Bai Zihua, then at Song Yan'er, and understood what Song Yan'er meant.
"Yan'er, pick out some of your favorites and keep them for yourself. We found these, so it's okay. Give the rest to your older cousin to use as military pay!"
Perhaps because the current emperor values literature, he is not very friendly to these soldiers. It is common for him not to pay them their wages. The fourth prince, on the other hand, often speaks out in court to demand wages and benefits for the soldiers. Therefore, the fourth prince is not valued by the current emperor and should even be considered disliked.
"Well, I guess I won't take them. Give them all to the Fourth Prince. I'm not used to carrying them around anyway!" Song Yan'er said, sounding a little guilty.
Xiao Yang glanced at Song Yan'er and immediately understood. When he met Song Yan'er, she was about to leave, so she must have been here before and had probably already put away the things she wanted!
Xiao Yang reached out and hugged Song Yan'er. "Then I'll thank Madam for her understanding and kindness on behalf of my cousin!"
"Sure, sure! Hehe!"
When the three of them arrived at the front yard, everyone had been rescued. Song Yan'er saw the woman who had come in with her and walked towards her.
"Just say you came with me and weren't kidnapped. That way, your reputation should be preserved!"
The girl's eyes lit up. "Really? Weren't you captured too?"
"I came with my husband, you came here to play with me!"
The girl was visibly much more relaxed. "Okay, I understand. Thank you. My name is Chen Meng, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Lord of Winterspring City!"
These days, the status of a legitimate daughter is very important.
"My name is Song Yan'er, and I'm from Peach Blossom Village in Peach Blossom Town. The man in the blue robe is my husband; he's about to take the imperial examination for the first degree."
"Okay, from now on you'll be my best friend. If anything happens, just let me know. Not to mention anything far away, I still have some influence in Winterspring City!"
Song Yan'er expressed her doubt: "You yourself were captured and brought here, yet you still want to protect me?"
Shen Meng understood what Song Yan'er meant. "Ahem, that doesn't count. It was my carelessness. Everyone makes mistakes. I won't do it again."
"To be honest, I thought I'd be lucky to escape with my life here, but it was resolved so easily. I still have to thank you. If you hadn't come with me, I don't think I would have ended up in a bad situation."
"Uh," Song Yan'er felt a little guilty thinking about the gold in her space.
"It's nothing, just a small favor, don't worry about it!"
"No way! I, Chen Meng, am a well-known figure in Winterspring City. How can I not repay this life-saving debt!"
"A big shot?" Could he be someone important?
"Well, I'm good at everything from eating and drinking to having fun," Chen Meng said, scratching her head sheepishly, feeling for the first time that she was so inadequate.
"Heh!" Isn't that just a spoiled brat?
Song Yan'er found it very funny and also liked Shen Meng's straightforward personality. She thought that such a person was easier to get along with than anyone else and was also loyal!
"Alright, I'll come to you if I need anything like this in the future. Let's go, let's get in the carriage first!"
