As she spoke, Yun Niang once again brought the wine cup in front of Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled as she received it.

“Haha! What’s there to despise? How many women in this world are as generous and beautiful as Yun Niang?” After saying that, Qin Xiaoyao drained the wine in her cup.

Yun Niang’s face turned red when she heard Qin Xiaoyao’s forthright comments.

After all, which woman didn’t like to be praised for her beauty?

At this moment, a new performance began on the stage on the first floor.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t take it seriously at first, but with her excellent eyesight, she saw the person on the stage clearly and was stunned at once.

This was because that person was none other than the young man she had saved on the street this morning.

Mm-hmm… The one who was called Liu Ling.

A young man in a white robe was dancing in the middle of the stage with a long sword in his hand.

His figure was even more graceful than a woman’s. His sword dance was… ahem… Although it didn’t contain any strength, it was still… quite pretty.

Qin Xiaoyao watched for a while longer with an appreciative attitude.

Then, Yun Niang, who was nearby, looked at Qin Xiaoyao demurely.

“Is my younger brother’s dance worthy of Lord Marquis’s attention?” Yun Niang suddenly said.

Qin Xiaoyao got a shock at once.

She looked at Liu Ling, who was dancing with his sword, and then looked at Yun Niang.

These two were siblings?

“Hehe…” Yun Niang covered her lips with her embroidered handkerchief and smiled charmingly.

Then, she asked coquettishly, “1 don’t look like my younger brother?”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Yun Niang again, then at Liu Ling.

Upon closer inspection, she realized that their eyebrows and lips were indeed somewhat similar.

“You do,” Qin Xiaoyao replied eventually.

However, Liu Ling looked more like her husband.

Yun Niang smiled charmingly.

Suddenly, she leaned close to Qin Xiaoyao’s ear.

“Lord Marquis, what do you think of my younger brother?” she whispered demurely.

Qin Xiaoyao’s heart shuddered momentarily.

Then, she quickly backed off.

“Yun Niang… surely you are joking with me.” Her expression was slightly tense as she spoke.

No way! This girl wanted to… pimp her younger brother to her?

A married woman like her could not afford to get embroiled in such dealings.

When she saw this, Yun Niang stared at Qin Xiaoyao coquettishly.

“Does Lord Marquis despise us siblings?” She was so charming.

Qin Xiaoyao’s body almost trembled when she saw her behavior.

“No… no. 1 don’t mean that,” she stammered.

When she realized that she had lost her composure a little, Qin Xiaoyao quickly recovered herself.

“Ahem… 1 already have a husband. Yun Niang, don’t joke with me like this,” she said.

It turned out that sometimes, men really couldn’t be blamed for not having enough self-control. When they met such seductive vixens outside, not everyone could remain virtuous and exercise temperance.

Fortunately, she was determined and only had her husband in her heart.

Upon hearing this, Yun Niang was stupefied for a moment.

Then, she smiled.

“Lord Marquis is so heroic. How can you use the standards of an ordinary woman to measure yourself?” she asked in a probing manner.

“Surely even your husband can’t restrict you now, right?”

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Yun Niang.

She realized that this woman’s thinking was quite unconventional. At the very least, she was very different from the women of this era.

“He can’t restrict me, and similarly, I can’t restrict him. We respect and love each other.

“In addition, when two people are truly in love, no third person can come between them. Not even if it has nothing to do with love and it’s just lust for beauty.

“My husband and 1 cherish our feelings for each other. I won’t ruin this wonderful relationship because of some insignificant things.”

She was actually a very serious person, and she was also a little fastidious. However, she was just fastidious in relationships.

After falling in love with her husband, she had never thought of giving her heart to anyone else.

Of course, she would not allow her husband to fall in love with anyone else other than her.

She believed that her husband felt the same way about her.

Yun Niang was astounded again.

Finally, she withdrew the flirtatious look on her face and looked at Qin Xiaoyao with some respect.

“I have been rash. Lord Marquis has a noble character. I fully admire you.” After she finished speaking, she raised her wine cup and toasted Qin Xiaoyao before downing it in one gulp.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Yun Niang and didn’t say anything.

Soon, Yun Niang spoke to Qin Xiaoyao again, “However, 1 still have a presumptuous request.”

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Yun Niang and was not in a hurry to respond.

If it was just a simple request, she wouldn’t mind consenting to it.

However, if it wasn’t simple… This was the first time they met. There was no need for Qin Xiaoyao to make things difficult for herself, right?

When she saw this, Yun Niang looked a little embarrassed.

“To Lord Marquis, this is just a small favor. Moreover, after this is done, 1 will definitely thank you generously,” she then said.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao become interested.

“Oh? Then why don’t you tell me about it?” she said. However, she still did not consent outright.

Yun Niang knew that she couldn’t make Qin Xiaoyao agree to help her first. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke up.

“I would like to ask Lord Marquis to redeem my younger brother.” Her beautiful eyes stared straight at Qin Xiaoyao.

Qin Xiaoyao was astonished.

Just as she was about to refuse, Yun Niang said, “I will pay the silver for the redemption.

“Moreover, after this matter is done, I will give Lord Marquis an additional 2000 taels of silver to thank you.”

Qin Xiaoyao immediately swallowed her words of refusal.

The sum of 2000 taels was very generous.

“Er…” Qin Xiaoyao had to admit that she was tempted.

“Lord Marquis only needs to help me redeem Ling’er and then take him in for a month.

“One month later, after I’ve arranged everything, 1’11 take Ling’er away,” Yun Niang continued. Her expression was solemn, completely different from her flirtatious demeanor just now.

Qin Xiaoyao hesitated again.

“If this… person were to move into the Marquis’s residence, I’m afraid it would be detrimental to the reputations of both Young Master Liu and me.”

This was particular so for her. If people knew that she had redeemed a male prostitute from a brothel and even hid him in the Marquis’s residence, heavens knew what kind of rumors would spread.

Well, she could indeed handle it in such a way that she would still appear innocent without the need to explain herself.

However, what if her husband found out and misunderstood?

Furthermore, her family would be coming to the capital soon. If they found out about this, they might misunderstand as well.

“No worries. As long as we are careful, no one will find out.

“In addition, when you redeem him, Lord Marquis, you can instruct the brothel madame not to publicize it. She doesn’t have the guts,” Yun Niang hurriedly said.

When she saw that Qin Xiaoyao was still unwilling, Yun Niang continued, “Lord Marquis, don’t worry. I will instruct Ling’er not to leave the residence unless something unexpected happens. This way, no one will know that he has gone to your residence.

“It’s just for one month. One month is enough. I beg Lord Marquis to show compassion and help us siblings.”

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

“If this matter is successful, if Lord Marquis needs my help in anyway in the future, please feel free to instruct. 1 will definitely do my best,” Yun Niang added.

At the same time, Qin Xiaoyao saw that someone had actually gone up to the stage downstairs to harass Liu Ling.

Fortunately, the brothel’s male attendant acted in time and the brothel madame also came forward to mediate, so the matter did not blow up.

“Has Young Master Liu offended many people?” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly asked.

In the morning, she had seen him being bullied by three well-dressed young

men..
