They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 106 Please do not refuse, young master.

A subtle, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Wu Chengye's lips. This was the same result he had obtained from his investigation. Perhaps it was just a coincidence!

“Since you saved me, I should repay you. I have a house there that's quite safe. Why don't you move there before you leave? I'm worried about my savior living in this kind of environment every day.”

"Thank you, heroine, but I think it's fine to stay here. I have no money and don't deserve your gifts."

[I didn't expect him to be such a stubborn man. If he revealed my identity, he'd be practically throwing himself at me! But what's the point then?]

"Please don't refuse, Young Master Huang."

"This……"

"I didn't see your face when you fell into the water yesterday. I know it's a bit offensive to say this, but I still want to know what my benefactor looks like."

Her heart was pounding. Huang Ziliang hesitated for a long time. He was just waiting for a gust of wind. The moment he lifted his veil, the wind blew away the few strands of hair left on his forehead.

Upon seeing her, Wu Chengye was immediately captivated by her beauty, which was beyond compare and worth more than a thousand pieces of gold. Moreover, her eyes were very similar to those of Sima Lingchuan back then. She was mesmerized for a moment.

"Heroine? But my appearance might offend your eyes, so I'll put on the veil."

"No! Young master, your beauty is unparalleled!"

He could no longer contain his excitement; his hands trembled and his fists clenched tightly as he kept recalling those scenes.

However, Huang Ziliang did not wait for her in the same place, but kept moving forward. After Wu Chengye realized what was going on, she chased after him to see where he was going. It turned out that his destination was a pharmacy.

The owner of the pharmacy seemed to recognize him. As soon as he came in, he said loudly, "You fell into the water yesterday, and I kindly gave you some medicine. You haven't paid yet, and you want to get more medicine today? Come on, come on!"

"Boss, just give me some medicine, I'll pawn this to you!" He seemed to be reaching for the purse at his waist, which contained half a jade pendant. He touched it and was shocked to find it gone!

Wu Chengye found a purse yesterday containing a jade pendant, which she always carried with her. Now she took it out and placed it on the counter: "Is this what you're looking for?"

Huang Ziliang looked grateful, his eyes even glistening with tears: "I'm so sorry to have made you laugh, heroine!"

Wu Chengye's expression changed faster than flipping through a book. He was all smiles and gentleness towards Huang Ziliang, but the boss was actually quite fierce: "Is this how you do business? Believe me or not, I'll shut your pharmacy down tomorrow! What medicine does this young master want? Get him everything, and you'll be well paid!"

The boss placed a gold ingot on the counter, and the waiters, giving him a signal, quickly took out oil paper and started grabbing the medicine.

"What illness does this young master have?"

"It's a cough, I caught a cold and it's been going on for a long time..."

"what!"

Huang Ziliang grabbed Wu Chengye's sleeve: "Heroine, please don't ask anymore." He even saw an unnatural blush on Wu Chengye's face, as if he was ashamed.

"What's there to be ashamed of if you can't get enough to eat for a long time? I think this female knight-errant is quite good to you. A man should rely on a woman when he's out in the world."

The more the shopkeeper talked, the lower his eyes became, and he dared not look at her. Wu Chengye noticed that he was indeed quite thin and weak, which was part of the "I've been starving for a long time" dynamic.

At this moment, she naturally had to stand up for him. Seeing how fierce Wu Chengye was, and how the boss avoided her gaze and stopped talking, she still pretended to be dissatisfied, whispering without complaining: "Being good-looking is good, you'll have women helping you wherever you go."

Huang Ziliang held the medicine he had prepared. Wu Chengye offered to pay, but Huang Ziliang declined, offering the jade pendant to the shopkeeper instead. His eyes were somewhat cold: "I'd better stay in my Shiyuan Lane. Heroine, don't come looking for me again. I don't want those people gossiping about me."

He left again. How could Huang Ziliang let her succeed so easily? He would at least visit her three times.

Wu Chengye wanted to chase after him, but then she remembered the lessons of the past. What she forced was never what she got. She followed behind him and only left when she saw Huang Ziliang enter the house.

"Tomorrow, when he leaves, arrange for another group of people to test him. Be ruthless!" Wu Chengye narrowed his eyes; she wouldn't believe him so easily.

With nothing to do in the afternoon, Sima Lingyu had a rare day of leisure. When Wu Chengye returned to the mansion yesterday, he unusually did not lose his temper with him, nor did he summon him to his room that night.

He thought he would have a few more days of peace and quiet, but as soon as Wu Chengye came back, he put her in, still with that cold face. Of course, Sima Lingyu wouldn't give her a friendly look either.

"come over!"

Sima Lingyu couldn't disobey her order, so he obediently went over and sat down next to her. Wu Chengye turned around and pinched his chin with his fingers, leaving several red marks on their tender faces.

"Tell me, does the Prime Minister have any illegitimate children outside of his marriage?"

Sima Lingyu's eyes darkened. Wu Chengye's thoughts were becoming increasingly insane. How could he ask such a slanderous question about others?

"Your Highness! Do you know what you're saying?"

"Then tell me what I'm saying!"

Wu Chengye's face drew closer and closer, until the tip of her nose was almost touching Sima Lingyu's, but there was no hint of intimacy between them.

Sima Lingyu snorted coldly. Wu Chengye leaned close to his ear and bit his ear tip hard: "Let me tell you, your brother has been coming to see you these past few days, but you're injured, so you probably don't want him to see you!"

"Oh, do you know why I asked that? Because I found someone who looks a lot like your brother, at least 80% similar!"

Hearing this second piece of news, he was even more shocked. No wonder Wu Chengye would ask such a question.

Seeing a slight change in his eyes, Wu Chengye grabbed his shoulder with his large hand. He was very thin, and when he grabbed him, it was all bone.

Ignoring whether it was midday or not, she started tugging at his clothes. Sima Lingyu knew what Wu Chengye was about to do, and he coldly said, "Your Highness, is it still afternoon?"

"This is my residence. Are you feeling lonely and want to invite more people over to play? Fine!" She shouted to the outside, "Bring all those officials here!"

Sima Lingyu's eyes glistened with tears. Why did he have to be humiliated like this every time he came back? He shook his head: "No, Your Highness."

"I think you're unwilling to serve me. Haven't the officials in the manor taught you how to serve others? That's really their fault. How do you plan to punish them?"

There was even a hint of concern in his tone, but Sima Lingyu was not that simple. He had already called for help, and there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Wu Chengye gnawed at the neck, but showed no pity or affection, treating it like a toy.

But Sima Lingyu was like a puppet, completely unresponsive, and even disgustingly avoided him, which always disappointed Wu Chengye.

"Where are these people? Haven't they arrived yet?"
