However, she did not want to seem so entangled and burdened. Ye Lulu struggled for a while and gritted her teeth. She had to be brave. She said to Guan Chibei, “I’ll jump. You have to catch me.”

“If you don’t catch me, your wife will be gone.”

Ye Lulu blurted out.

Guan Chibei paused and his eyes darkened.

Ye Lulu also realized what she had said and was stunned. Her ears felt warm.

Her heart beat wildly for a while, but she quickly calmed herself down. At this juncture, it was fine to say the wrong thing.

Guan Chibei’s eyes darkened as he replied, “Yes.”

Ye Lulu steeled her heart and used the window as a lever. Without thinking, she jumped down.

As she fell, a thought flashed past Ye Lulu’s mind. She was really something. She even dared to jump down three floors.

Hence, Nangong Yupiao floated beside Guan Chibei and watched helplessly as Guan Chibei let go of her. He took a step forward and opened his arms to catch the woman from the third floor.

Dressed in moonlight clothes, she looked like a fairy who had descended from the heavens in the dark.

Guan Chibei’s expression was calm as he looked at Ye Lulu’s location accurately. He went forward and caught her. Of course, he seemed to have only opened his arms, but he had used his internal energy.

Apart from that, Guan Chibei also released all the strong yin energy. The yin energy was forcefully condensed around his body. It was too dense and formed an invisible barrier. It increased Guan Chibei’s strength to catch Ye Lulu.

Ye Lulu felt herself suddenly smash into Guan Chibei’s arms, causing her forehead to hurt. However, miraculously, it was as if there was a cushion covering her.

Ye Lulu did not feel any pain at all.

She felt that as soon as she closed her eyes and opened them again, she was caught by Guan Chibei. He was indeed very stable and did not feel any fear. In the blink of an eye, she felt like she was on the ground.

Guan Chibei hugged her tightly.

Ye Lulu paused for a moment.

She looked up from Guan Chibei’s arms. She was still in his arms. When Ye Lulu looked up, she rushed into his deep eyes. It was like a dark universe with a hidden silence. This calmness had a special sexiness.

Ye Lulu was struck hard and her entire body almost trembled. She felt as if her entire body was surging, causing her to shiver.

Ye Lulu’s gaze froze. She could not look away from Guan Chibei.

The two of them looked at each other silently. There was a tacit understanding between them.

This hug was completely different from the one Nangong Yupiao experienced.

Nangong Yupiao was still immersed in the beautiful feeling she had felt just now. The next moment, when she saw Ye Lulu and Guan Chibei, she was shocked.

She took a step back and looked at the couple in front of her in disbelief.

Who was this?!

Why was there a woman jumping down from above? Why was this extraordinary man catching her, again?!

Nangong Yupiao had always been doted on. Her personality was honorable and not to be offended. She was attracted to Guan Chibei a moment ago, but another woman appeared in the next moment. Nangong Yupiao was immediately filled with displeasure and anger. She felt that her things had been snatched away.

Nangong Yupiao opened her mouth and was about to ask who Ye Lulu was when Madam Rufei shouted from above, “Yupiao! Are you alright? You scared Second Aunt to death.”

“I’ll get the secret guards to pick you up now.”

Madam Rufei’s voice sounded. A few secret guards had already landed in the inn’s hall to check on the fire. When they received the news, they immediately rushed out to protect Nangong Yupiao.

All the servants in the inn woke up from their sleep and poured all their efforts into putting out the fire. After a chaotic commotion, the fire in the Golden Inn was suppressed.

Buckets of water were poured in. After the fire was put out, the entire hall of the inn was in a mess. The places that had caught fire were charred black. There were also water stains on the ground, and the wooden buckets were crooked.

The servants of the inn wiped away their cold sweat and couldn’t help but feel lucky that the entire inn wasn’t burned down. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble!

It was all the fault of that strange man in the alley!

It was already so late. What was he doing in the alley?!

He even threw a dog covered in fire when he ran away. It came in to light the inn on fire!

The servants in the inn were grumbling to death. When they looked again, the dog that was covered in fire… was already dead. It was charred in the hall, and there was a mark on the ground.

The servants looked at the mark and were silent for some reason. They took some tools and cleared away the charred mark, allowing the last traces of pain from the dog to disappear from this world.

The guests who stayed in the inn came down and complained, extremely unhappy. The servants quickly explained the reason and were all extremely helpless.

When the guests heard this, they felt that it was strange. There was such a thing?! That was really a sudden disaster. Furthermore, who was in the alley? What was he doing at such a late hour?

Burning a dog?!

Ye Lulu was surprised. There were people who tortured dogs in ancient times? She did not expect such a thing to happen in Yuan City. It was too shocking…

Why were there people in ancient times who used living creatures to vent their anger? The entire dog was burned and wrapped in fire. It was obvious that someone used fire to burn the dog.

The servant even said that there was kerosene on the dog, which was why it burned wherever it went.

That person was so cruel that he splashed kerosene on the dog’s body. The fire was also very big and lasted for a long time…

Ye Lulu frowned. He even picked such a dark and quiet alley in the middle of the night. This meant that he definitely did not want anyone to know who he was. What unbearable incident happened to him that he had to vent his anger on this dog?!

This person had extreme mental problems. His personality was very unstable. Who knew what else he would do?

They had to be wary of this.

Ye Lulu still remembered that there was another cat abuser last time. Was it the same person?

Apart from the fire, there was another matter.

Nangong Yupiao was pushed down the window. It was a close call. Of course, this matter had to be accounted for. Even Madam Rufei had to be calculative about this, let alone Nangong Yupiao herself. She exploded.

She strode into the inn and happened to see the boy walk down the stairs under the escort of that cold guard.

As someone who knew her limits, Madam Rufei did not make things difficult for the boy. She also led a group of secret guards and maidservants and walked over.

Nangong Yupiao’s footsteps were big. Her face was tense, and her eyes were sharp and fierce. She looked like she wanted to tear the boy into pieces. Before she reached the boy, she said in an extremely sharp tone:

“Bastard, I want you to die!”

All of Nangong Yupiao’s anger was ignited by the boy. He actually dared to be so bold and treat her like this! Furthermore, he pushed her down the window! He almost killed her…

Every time Nangong Yupiao recalled the terrifying despair from when she fell just now and the extreme fear… she became so angry that she wanted to explode.

As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Yupiao walked in front of the boy. She raised her foot and wanted to kick him!

“How dare you!”

The cold guard beside the boy suddenly shouted coldly. Following that, he picked up a jade pendant on the boy’s waist. On the back of the Pixiu jade pendant was a smaller jade pendant.

The shape of the jade pendant was of the character ‘Jue’!

“With the youngest prince here, who dares to be impudent?”

The cold guard’s expression did not change. He only said this coldly. Then, in the dead silence of the scene, he said coldly:

“Audacious commoner girl, how dare you insult the prince as a bastard? You still want to offend the dragon’s might? You deserve to be punished for treason.”

As soon as these words fell, the entire scene was like a frozen ice surface. The ice surface suddenly shattered again…

Everyone’s faces seemed to have frozen. There was great fear and surprise, and their gazes were about to shatter.

Wh… what?

Prince?

However, at this moment, everyone was not only just shocked; everyone knew that there were more than ten princes in the imperial family of the Shang dynasty. Everyone in the Shang dynasty knew the names of each prince because the Shang dynasty would announce their names to the world.

The name of a prince often meant something good. The more people called it out, the stronger the good intentions. Therefore, the Shang dynasty had always been like this.

The youngest prince was indeed called Jue.

The Shang dynasty’s emperor’s surname was Dongfang, so the youngest prince’s full name was Dongfang Jue.

Everyone knew that the princes of the Shang dynasty had a jade pendant with their name… Therefore…

Everyone’s expressions were very interesting. Therefore, when Nangong Yupiao scolded that the boy was a bastard, it was really…

The expressions of the guests who came down from the top floor changed instantly.

No wonder the boy upstairs had an intense reaction just now, his expression changing greatly. Moreover, he fiercely berated Nangong Yupiao for being presumptuous and daring.

Furthermore, when Nangong Yupiao was upstairs, she had already scolded the boy as a ‘bastard’!

Then, because of this ‘bastard,’ the boy lost his temper and knocked Nangong Yupiao down the building…

Not to mention, the boy’s temper was right.

If the boy was the youngest prince of the Shang dynasty, Dongfang Jue, then Nangong Yupiao could have her head chopped off after cursing. It did seem like others were not allowed to interfere when the boy knocked her down the building…

There was no need to mention the severity of this situation. She had offended the might of the heavens!

Just as she was about to kick the boy, when she heard those cold words, Nangong Yupiao’s eyes widened in disbelief. Her ears buzzed and her body swayed, almost falling to the ground!

What?!

This was the youngest prince, Jue?!

Nangong Yupiao instantly knew what she had done. Her legs went limp and she really could not stand steadily.

The boy’s face was filled with anger, and he was also a little fierce. He glared fiercely at Nangong Yupiao and said, “You’re really bold! You actually dare to say that I’m a bastard? In other words, you’re scolding my father, the emperor. When I go back, I’ll tell him about this. It wouldn’t be overboard to punish all nine generations for the crime of treason!”

Nangong Yupiao’s mind exploded. She widened her eyes and her face instantly turned as pale as paper. She really fell to the ground.

Initially, she wanted to teach this boy a lesson in front of Guan Chibei. Firstly, she wanted to show off her identity and influence so that that man would look at her differently. Secondly, she wanted to show off her strength in front of Ye Lulu.

Unexpectedly, this boy with only one follower beside him had such a shocking identity as a prince. She had committed a huge mistake. Not to mention showing off in front of Guan Chibei and Ye Lulu, she could be said to have been in an extremely sorry state!

Nangong Yupiao could not help but collapse to the ground. As she looked at the boy who happened to be standing very high on the stairs, the fear on her face spread.

She was the only daughter of the eldest wife of the Nangong family.

The Nangong family was one of the most powerful families in the Shang dynasty. Not only did their family have deep roots, but the person in charge of the first Nangong family, who was also Nangong Yupiao’s father, was a high-ranking official in the imperial court. He was about to become the prime minister and have overwhelming power.

As for the person in charge of the second Nangong family, Madam Rufei’s husband, he was also an important official of the imperial court and a minister. Madam Rufei herself was from one of the top merchant families in the Shang dynasty, so her family’s businesses were spread throughout the Shang dynasty.

All the daughters of the Nangong family had also married into the influential families of the imperial court.

Therefore, with such a family backing her, Nangong Yupiao had been unrestrained for many years. There was almost nothing that she could not resolve. Nangong Yupiao also knew about the other nobles in Yingzhou. She would not easily provoke anyone with a higher status than her and had always been polite.

There was only one imperial family that was absolutely above her status and influence. She couldn’t even say a single wrong word.

Therefore… When Nangong Yupiao said vicious words to a chubby boy whom she could not stand to see on the top floor of an inn in Yuan City, she really did not expect him to be the imperial family’s youngest prince.

In the beginning, she was arrogant and condescending towards the boy. Then, she said nasty things because of her usual arrogance and nobility.

Because Nangong Yupiao was too terrified, her body tightened up.

When Madam Rufei heard the guard’s cold words, her eyes were shocked. She turned to look at the chubby boy and said in surprise:

“It’s really Jue’er! Youngest prince, why are you in Yuan City?”

Although the power of the second Nangong family was not a match for the first, Madam Rufei herself had a noble title. Furthermore, unlike Nangong Yupiao, the daughters of the rich and powerful family where Madam Rufei came from were famous for their beauty. One of them had married into the imperial family and was a concubine with high status.

From this point of view, the Nangong family could reluctantly be said to be related to the imperial family and was one of the relatives of the imperial family.

Actually, it was all because of Madam Rufei.

This was also one of the reasons why Madam Rufei’s status in the Nangong family was not low but important.
