While Ye Jiushang was in a good mood, Xue Fanxin had a depressed and shy expression. Although the maidservants beside her had their heads lowered and pretended not to see anything, she was still very embarrassed. Her cheeks were red as apples, making her appear a little cute.
“Ah Jiu, you’re so annoying…”
“Women don’t mean what they say. If they say they hate it, they actually like it. I understand this principle at least.”
“You… you’re annoying…” Xue Fanxin’s heart was beating wildly. She was so shy that she did not even know what to say. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
“Alright, alright. I won’t tease you anymore. My little consort has worked hard. You should have a good rest.” Ye Jiushang gently flicked Xue Fanxin’s forehead and stopped teasing her, lest she be too embarrassed.
Girls were quite thin-skinned. He did not want to go overboard.
Xue Fanxin was not an ordinary girl. Although she was a little shy, she quickly adapted. After flirting with Ye Jiushang for a while, she started to talk about serious matters. “Ah Jiu, what did you do this morning?”
“Investigated something related to the Ghost King. He’s the only thing I have to deal with in the Heavenly Saints Empire. I’ll settle it once and for all.”
“I don’t understand. With your ability, it’s not difficult to get rid of the Ghost King. Why did you keep him until now? You let Su Baifeng off because she once saved you. What about him?”
“Before the Ghost King’s mother, Consort Qi, died, she used something to make an exchange for his life. I accepted it, so I naturally can’t go back on my word. Even now, I haven’t touched him, and I intend to do the same in the future.”
“But if you don’t touch him, he will touch you! What did that Consort Qi offer you?”
“One seed, one of the three seeds.”
“Ah?” Xue Fanxin was shocked. At the same time, she understood why Ye Jiushang was willing to spare the Ghost King’s life.
......
All three seeds were extremely precious. No wonder Ah Jiu was willing to make such an exchange.
All parents were concerned for their children. Consort Qi had worked hard for the Ghost King. However, how could a woman from the palace like her have such a precious seed?
Ye Jiushang knew that Xue Fanxin would ask more questions next, so he gestured for the maidservants to leave. Gu Jinyuan was in a coma and could not hear anything. It was not a problem.
Xue Fanxin understood that Ye Jiushang was going to divulge a secret. Although Gu Jinyuan was unconscious, she did not want to take any risks. She did not ask further. Instead, she said, “Ah Jiu, my body is stained with a lot of blood. I have to take a bath and change before sleeping.”
“Oh, you.” Ye Jiushang knew Xue Fanxin’s intentions and did not expose her. It was enough as long as he understood. “Then go wash up and rest. I’ll look for you later.”
“Alright.” Xue Fanxin nodded. She liked how they always knew what each other was thinking.
There was no need to explain many things between her and Ah Jiu. Both of them knew very well that this feeling was something precious. It was very, very beautiful.
Just as Xue Fanxin was feeling wonderful, the butler ran over to report. “Your Highness, Consort, something bad has happened.”
“What is it?” Ye Jiushang asked solemnly. His tone and attitude were completely different from before.
It seemed like a certain lord’s gentleness only belonged to one person.
The butler was used to Ye Jiushang’s attitude. “Your Highness, Master Xue and Young Master Little Lei had a conflict with someone in the First Restaurant. The other party used disgraceful methods to capture Master Xue. In a rage, Young Master Little Lei destroyed the First Restaurant.”
“My grandfather has been captured? By who?” Xue Fanxin was in a panic.
She had thought that her grandfather and Little Lei would be safe when they went out, but who knew…
