2. President Xies Laws of Love

Bai Qiuchi looked at Xie He coldly. She really didnt like him just merely based on his beauty, which far surpa.s.sed her own. She also felt a very strong sense of danger. Although he was nothing but a lowly courtesan who could never appear in public, she could not allow such a person to stay by Xiao Yans side. She had to nip any dangers at the bud.

Bai Qiuchi was currently mulling over how she should go about getting rid of Xie He and carefully examined his face. All of a sudden, her expression changed, a flicker of disbelief and alarm flas.h.i.+ng through her eyes. She sucked in a deep breath and asked, Whats your name?

Xie He deferentially said,

Nubi

s called Yuan Jin.

Bai Qiuchi looked doubtful. Yuan Jin?

Xie He nodded.

Bai Qiuchi suddenly left. Her arrival had been aggressive but she had left with a baffling att.i.tude.

Xie He watched her leave with a look of respect on his face. When he returned to his courtyard, a pensive look appeared in his eyes. That woman clearly recognized him but he didnt recognize her. He obviously had not missed the alarm in Bai Qiuchis eyes. Was his real ident.i.ty a threat to her? Or could it be that she was mistaken and was actually afraid of someone who looked similar to himself?

Regardless, this was interesting.

Xie HeBaby, Ive got a mission for you. Monitor the actions of every single person in this residence, including any idle conversations that may go on. Smile.JPG

444(v) Mn!

In a days time, Xie He had a much better understanding of the situation at the Princes Residence. He also knew who Bai Qiuchi was. Bai Qiuchi used to be an ordinary child from a peasant family. Two years ago, she was brought back by Xiao Yan for some unknown reason. He doted on her as he would a real sister and had taken care of her family for her sake. You could say that she had reached heaven in a single bound.

The servants at the residence all knew that Bai Qiuchi liked Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan obviously only saw her as a younger sister.

The servants treated Bai Qiuchi with reverence because of Xiao Yans might. But inwardly, they looked down on Bai Qiuchi. If it wasnt because Xiao Yan favoured her, a woman with this kind of background wouldnt even be worthy of being a servant in a Princes residence.

Xie He thought about it long and hard but couldnt find anything to do with Bai Qiuchi in Yuan Jins memory. But he wasnt worried. Considering Bai Qiuchis att.i.tude towards him, she would make trouble for him sooner or later.

He just had to wait and accept whatever she threw at him. This was good. Otherwise, with Xiao Yans att.i.tude towards him, he would probably just forget all about him.

Xiao Yan showed no interest in Xie He after accepting him. It seemed like he would let fate take its course with Xie He. The servants didnt take him seriously and would only remember to bring him cold leftovers very late in the night.

Xie He obviously didnt eat that. Today, he was once again about to ask 444 to help him exchange for some delicious food when he heard 444s report.

444Host

dada

! Someones watching you!

Xie HeWho is it, Baby?

444The commander of Xiao Yans personal guard, Qi Qing. Hes watching you on Xiao Yans orders. _(:)_ Hes up in that tree!

Xie HeGot it. It seems that we got to spend some more experience points.

444Why?

Xie HeBecause according to the law, those that peek on me will all fall in love with me, ah. ?

444Excuse me but what kind of law is this???!

Xiao Yan seemed to not care about him in the slightest but he was actually worried that he was one of the Crown Princes people. He didnt feel a.s.sured. He was very prudent by nature.

But this was a good helper gong sent to Xie Hes door, ne. The differences in social cla.s.ses in the ancient era was nothing to laugh at. The likelihood of a majestic prince falling in love with a courtesan was extremely low. Prince Su was difficult to get to but dealing with his subordinate was much easier.

Now that he was at the Princes residence, he obviously could not let go of any possible helper gongs.

Xie He carried the plate of leftovers inside and then shut the door. When he was certain that Qi Qing could not see him anymore, he had 444 help him get rid of the contents on the plate and then had him exchange for a delicious cultivation world meal. He happily gorged himself on it.

Xie He was in a great mood after eating his fill. Now, he was ready to start working. He had to act pitiful well!

Xie HeBaby, help me exchange for a Even I Cannot Help But Love Him Upon Seeing Him expressions pack. ?

444O(_)O. OK. The Even I Cannot Help But Find Him Adorable Upon Seeing Him expressions pack costs 1000 points. Exchange complete~

Xie Hes originally radiant face was now covered in a layer of weakness and frailty. He looked like a bullied, pitiful little thing. However, this didnt diminish his beauty in any way. Rather, anyone who saw him would want to dote on him. They could not bear to see him suffer injustices and would want to protect him.

Xie He opened the door. He was dressed in a simple yet elegant

changshan.

His jet-black hair fell freely behind him and he carried the plate out. Because of his slender and feeble stature, he looked like a willow branch swaying in the wind.

Qi Qing sat atop of a branch of a large tree, hidden amidst the leaves. He was dressed fully in a black

jinzhuang

, watching Xie He coldly.

Prince Su and the Crown Prince seemed like brothers that got along on the surface. However, they had always been competing in secret. This time, if it wasnt because Prince Su had gained information he could use against the Crown Prince, the other would not show goodwill like this. However, he could not forget how the Crown Prince had been planning for Prince Sus death all this time. Thats why, even if it was a courtesan, they could not afford to be careless.

Qi Qing knew that the servants of the

w.a.n.gfu

were neglecting Xie He. However, he had no intentions of stopping them. In any case, his mission was to just monitor this person.

If Xie He were to express any discontent or fishy behaviour, it would be a good enough excuse to expel him from the

w.a.n.gfu

.

It was just that, when he saw Xie Hes pale, small face, and how lovely and pitiful he looked, Qi Qing didnt know why, but he felt a bit of reluctance to see the other be treated like this. He was indeed a pitiful person in the end. He was once part of a glorious governmental family but that family was reduced to ashes. He was now drawn into the power struggle between Prince Su and the Crown Prince for no reason whatsoever. Even if he was innocent, he may not have a good end. His Highness would not take a fancy to him.

Qi Qing had watched Xie He for several days in this manner. He had discovered that Xie He was always very obedient and lovable. He had no arrogance. Even if he was being neglected like this, he had no complaints. It was like he had gotten used to being treated like this and thought that it was only to be expected.

There was nothing you could fault him for.

Gradually, Qi Qing had put down his concerns. His vigilance and hostility was no longer as deep as it had been in the beginning. With what hes seen of Xie He, even if they left him in the

w.a.n.gfu

, nothing much would come out of it.

He had heard of Yuan Jin before. He was a very famous courtesan within the Capital. Perhaps the Crown Prince had only chosen him because of his renown. Qi Qing wasnt the type to go to brothels, but when he looked at Xie He, he had to admit that the other was worthy of his reputation. He was indeed stunning.

Ding, Qi Qings Favourability Value +20. The current Favourability Value is 20.

Xie He stayed in his courtyard for several days, content with his own lot. He did not take a single step outside his courtyard for many days in a row.

Fortunately, the people of the

w.a.n.gfu

seemed to remember that someone lived here and didnt seem to plan on starving him. Today, Xie He once again collected his cold leftovers. However, he didnt return to his house to eat behind closed doors this time. He just sat on a small stone stool and stared at the food in front of him.

Inside the crude bowl was porridge and cabbage. Who knows how long it had been left out.

Qi Qing furrowed his brows from where he was sitting on the tree. He had felt nothing in the beginning. But now, he had watched Xie He eat these things for a few consecutive days. That originally feeble person looked like he would faint from hunger at any moment. Qi Qing felt some discontent towards the kitchen people.

The

w.a.n.gfu

did not lack money. Even the lowest of the servants ate better than this. It was said that Bai Qiuchi had expressed her dislike of Yuan Jin, and this was why the servants were treating Yuan Jin especially poorly. They wanted to curry favour with Bai Qiuchi.

Qi Qing had never liked Bai Qiuchi. Now, he disliked her even more. This woman was petty and vicious. She relied on His Highness favour to stir up trouble.

Xie He sat there quietly for a while before he began to eat. He slowly picked up some cabbage with his chopsticks and ate it with his porridge. His actions were slow and graceful. It was probably because he was truly hungry, but after finis.h.i.+ng the porridge, he also licked the bowl clean. Although he had finished very quickly and then returned to his room, Qi Qing, who had witnessed this scene, felt that the other was adorable and pitiful.

Qi Qing sighed quietly. He pondered over whether or not he should have a word with the kitchen. At the very least, this child should be able to eat his full.

It wasnt like the

w.a.n.gfu

could not afford to provide for an idler, so long as he didnt stir up trouble.

Ding, Qi Qings Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 30.

Xie He placed the bowl outside before returning to his room and closing the door. He joyfully had 444 prepare him a big meal. He then slept contentedly. He felt like he had gained some weight from just sleeping and eating every day.

The courtyard Bai Qiuchi lived in was only second to the one Xiao Yan lived in. All of the decorations were very precious. It showed off the lavishness expected of

w.a.n.gfus

.

She was currently sitting in her room with an uneasy expression on her face. She had resided in the

w.a.n.gfu

for two years. Xiao Yan had complied to her every wish during these two years and had given her face. However, he had no intentions of wedding her. She knew that she was not qualified to be his princess-consort and had previously hinted that she was willing to be with Xiao Yan without any t.i.tles. She knew that Xiao Yan was not one to meet kindness with ingrat.i.tude. As long as he decided to take her in, he would never treat her poorly.

As long as she was able to become Xiao Yans woman, she could continue to live this pampered and glorious life instead of worrying about when this dream would end. If she had to leave the

w.a.n.gfu

, she would be nothing.

Bai Qiuchi had been patiently waiting for a chance but now, when she thought of Yuan Jin, a cold, sharp glint flashed through her eyes. In the end, she got up and ordered her personal servant girl, Shui Rong, Invite His Highness to dine here tonight.

Shui Rong lowered her head and said, Yes, Young Miss.

After giving her instructions, Bai Qiuchi waited nervously.

A short while later, Shui Rong came back and said that His Highness had agreed. Bai Qiuchi relaxed upon hearing this.

That night, when Xiao Yan came over, he saw Bai Qiuchi standing at the entrance to her courtyard, evidently dressed up in her best attire and makeup. As soon as she saw him, she gave him a gentle, ladylike smile. She wrapped her arms around his and softly said,

Gege

, youve come.

Xiao Yans eyebrows furrowed imperceptibly but he didnt throw her off.

Bai Qiuchi pulled Xiao Yan over to the table and sat down with him. She then ordered the servants to serve their meal. She pointed to one of the dishes and said,

I

personally made the lotus root steamed in broth for you.

Gege

, try it.

Xiao Yan had a taste. When it was a trifling matter, he usually yielded to Bai Qiuchi.

Bai Qiuchi watched Xiao Yan eat, her expression one of even greater nervousness. She gave Shui Rong a look and the other immediately withdrew, closing the door for them. Bai Qiuchi then got up and helped ma.s.sage Xiao Yans shoulders. She said in a soft voice,

Gege

, you havent come over recently. Have you been really busy?

Xiao Yans expression was cool. Yes. Have you taken a liking to any of the young masters I mentioned last time?

Bai Qiuchi looked distressed. She said in an annoyed tone, I still want to spend a few more years with

Gege

. I dont want to marry so soon.

Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. He had looked for n.o.blemen of the highest quality for Bai Qiuchi. If she were to marry any of them, she would get to live a life of luxury for the rest of her life. However, Bai Qiuchi wasnt satisfied. She wholeheartedly wanted to become his. When he thought of this womans bottomless greed, he felt extremely annoyed. He wanted her to leave as soon as possible.

However, he suddenly felt heat spread in his lower abdomen. When he recalled what he just ate, Xiao Yans expression changed. A cold light flashed through his eyes.

Bai Qiuchi placed her hands on Xiao Yans shoulder and breathed against Xiao Yans ears.

Gege

.

Xiao Yan stood up at once, overturning all the food on the table! He looked at Bai Qiuchi coldly. Bai Qiuchi had already taken off her shawl. Her clothes showed off her exquisite, slender body. Her cleavage was faintly visible beneath her pale collarbone. Truly shameless! She was actually trying to drug and seduce him!

If anyone else were to be so presumptuous, Xiao Yan would kill them! However, he owed Bai Qiuchi his life. Were it not for this, there was no way he would tolerate letting this kind of woman wreck havoc within his

w.a.n.gfu

! Xiao Yans icy gaze swept over her and he let out a deep voice. If there is a next time,

Benw.a.n.g

will marry you out at once!

When Bai Qiuchi heard this, her eyes filled with tears. She had already exposed herself like this but Xiao Yan still didnt want her. He was a majestic prince. What was it to accept a concubine? Why didnt he like her?

She held Xiao Yans arm and begged,

Gege,

cant I stay?

Xiao Yan said in a frigid voice, Scram.

After saying this, he mercilessly threw her off and left in large strides!

Xiao Yan had resisted temptation and left Bai Qiuchis courtyard. But now, the effect of the drug was intense. He felt hot and bothered, and had nowhere to vent. However, he wasnt willing to accept doing it with the servant girls. At this moment, he remembered the courtesan that the Crown Prince had sent. He was a courtesan, thats all. His purpose was to serve men. It was very appropriate to sate his l.u.s.t with him.

Thus, Xiao Yan headed towards

Tingfeng

Court.

Xie He was sleeping on his bed when he suddenly heard 444 make a fuss. He had woken Xie He up. Xie He opened his eyes, eyebrows slightly furrowed. In a blink of an eye, 444 had told and showed Xie He what had occurred.

Xie He c.o.c.ked a brow. He didnt think that this supporting female lead would put in so much effort. She had given him a chance to interact with Prince Su so soon.

Xie HeYoung Miss Bai has made a mistake because of her guilty conscience. Smile.JPG

444Why would she feel guilty?

Xie HeI too want to know why. No one would fear me or feel guilty upon seeing me unless they had a reason to. There must be a reason for why she feels this way. She thinks that my arrival is a threat to her, to the point that it will leave her with nothing. Therefore, she wants to sleep with Xiao Yan, no matter what method she has to use. Xiao Yan is a formidable man of the ancient era. Even if he doesnt like her, he would not mistreat his own woman.

Xie HeContinue monitoring Bai Qiuchi. I want to know her secret. ?

444(v) Mn!

After giving these instructions, Xie He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

When Xiao Yan arrived at

Tingfeng

court, Qi Qing, who was guarding it, was startled. When he saw Xiao Yans appearance, he immediately perceived that something was wrong. He lowered his voice and asked, Your Highness?

Xiao Yans face was ashen. He ordered Qi Qing, Stand guard outside, before kicking the door open and entering.

Xie He had been in a very shallow sleep. He was immediately startled awake. When he saw a tall man standing against the light coming from outside, he cried out in fear, W-who are you?

Although Xiao Yan could see the fear in Xie Hes eyes, he didnt have the patience to placate him. He directly closed the door and walked over to the other, pressing Xie He, who was trying to escape, back onto the bed!

Xie Hes slender wrists thudded against the bed. At this moment, with the help of the moonlight s.h.i.+ning in through the window, he could finally see the mans face. This only exacerbated his fear. He nearly fainted. He stammered, Y-Your Highness.

Xiao Yan squeezed Xie Hes neck. This courtesans skin was extremely fair. Xiao Yan, who was under the influence of the aphrodisiac, pressed Xie He down beneath him. He felt like his desire was about to overflow! Today, he had come to vent his l.u.s.t. Therefore, he tore Xie Hes clothes off in one smooth motion. Xie Hes pale, slender, and perfect body was on full display. His body was immaculate without a single fault. Even his sleek ankles were flawless.

Xiao Yans eyes darkened. He directly pulled Xie Hes legs apart and took him.

Qi Qing guarded the door. In the beginning, he had heard Xie Hes frightened shout, followed by a groan of pain. Afterwards, there were no more words, only Xie Hes sobs and whimpers. Occasionally, there would be a pained whine.

Even if he didnt see it with his eyes, Qi Qing could guess what was happening inside. His body stiffened slightly and his mouth felt a bit dry.

He couldnt help but think of Xie Hes appearance and think of just how he must be tormented right now to make those kinds of sounds. He thought of how His Highness would not treat him kindly in the slightestand once again, he found himself a bit unable to bear the thought of it.

But he was one of His Highness people. He was only one of His Highness guards. Therefore, he could not say anything. He could not do anything.

But Qi Qing couldnt help but think that if it were him, he would not be able to bear treating Xie He like that.

Ding, Qi Qings Favourability Value +10. The current Favourability Value is 40.

Xiao Yan vented his l.u.s.t on Xie He many times without any restraint. When he finally stopped, he discovered that Xie He looked like he was on his last breath. There were purple marks all over that slender, frail body. There was also blood slipping down from between his legs.

He had indeed been a bit too rough. He didnt think that this courtesan would have such tender skin. A bit of force and he had ended up like this.

Ever since Xie He discovered that the man who had entered his room was Xiao Yan, he had not resisted and had borne everything obediently. Seeing that Xiao Yan had stopped, he turned his face over and gave Xiao Yan a fawning smile. With a soft, raspy voice, he called out, Your Highness.

Xie He looked at Xie He. There was still pain on that tiny face but the other was still forcing himself to give him a charming smile. Only then did he realize that Xie He had not resisted or refused him. He hadnt even said anything. He only endured it and would occasionally cry out when it was too much.

Even though he had been reduced to such a state, he still remembered to smile at him.

No matter who f*cked him, he would still smile at them, welcome them, cooperate with them.

Xiao Yan let out a disdaining bark of laughter. He blatantly looked Xie He up and down. Although he was a lowly prost.i.tute, his body was indeed quite good. It made him want to continue to do him. He was a rarity, innately made to serve men.

Ding, the target Xiao Yans Favourability Value +20. The current Favourability Value is 20.

Xiao Yan dressed himself, fastened his belt and then gave Xie He a cold look. He then left.

When he exited, he found Qi Qing still standing outside. He asked, He seems to know his place. Has there been any issues?

Qi Qing quickly rescinded the look of displeasure and said, No. He has been staying here obediently all this time. He hasnt even taken a single step outside the courtyard.

Xiao Yan nodded and didnt ask anything more. He really didnt give a d.a.m.n about Xie He. He said, If theres nothing, theres no need to keep watching over him. Have the servants take note of him. Dont let him run around unsupervised.

Qi Qing nodded,

Shuxia

understands.

Qi Qing watched Xiao Yan leave. He then gazed through the half-opened door at Xie He and felt his heart speed up. Thatpitiful, abused appearancethat naked, slender pale bodyeverything attracted him so.

He watched as Xie He struggled to get up, but the other only ended up falling back down. Qi Qing really wanted to go help him butthis person was His Highness.

Qi Qing cast his eyes downwards. In the end, he didnt advance forward. He shouldnt have any improper thoughts towards Xie He. Fortunately, it was just a thought right now. He could still suppress it.

Xie He lay on the bed. He rested for a while before he grabbed his clothes with trembling hands and draped it over himself. Xiao Yan had left just like that. It was obvious that he didnt care about him. He didnt even send anyone to bring him water. Xie Hes body was still covered in Xiao Yans fluids. The sticky feeling was unbearable. He wanted to find some water to clean himself.

Unfortunately, he had no energy left. In the end, he simply fell asleep like that.

Bai Qiuchi had many eyes in the

w.a.n.gfu.

When she found out that Xiao Yan had headed towards

Tingfeng

Court after he left, she was so angry she smashed everything in her room!

She didnt sleep that night. The next day, her eyes were bloodshot and a cold, rancorous light flitted through her eyes. She didnt dare to offend Xiao Yan but it wasnt like she couldnt take care of a mere Xie He, right?

Because Xie He suffered terribly last night, he slept very deeply. The next day, he was sluggishly woken by a clamour within his courtyard.

It had always been desolate around these parts. Except for when someone came to deliver him his meal, no one ever came. This was the first time it had gotten so noisy.

Xie He opened his eyes and saw that several heavy-built

momo

had walked in. One of them pulled Xie He down from the bed and said in a cold voice, We do not feed idlers in the

w.a.n.gfu.

There is no man here that requires the services of a vixen like you. Therefore, dont harbour any ideas you shouldnt. Only by properly doing your work will you be given food.

While she said this, she shoved a broom into Xie Hes hands and said, Go sweep the garden. You are not allowed to eat until youre done sweeping.

Xie Hes body ached all over and it was difficult to bear. He grabbed the broom and hesitated before quietly asking,

Nu

understandsbut

Nu

was wondering if

Nu

could first wash a bitis that OK?

That

momo

let out a resounding laugh at that. Do you think youre still at the

Xunhuan

House? Wash, what wash? Whose bed do you plan on climbing into? As she said this, she gave Xie He an askance glance. Hehebesides, would your body even be considered clean after was.h.i.+ng?

Xie Hes face paled. Pain appeared in his eyes. He didnt say anything more.

When the

momo

saw that her goal had been accomplished, she shoved Xie He outside and brought him to the garden. The garden of the

w.a.n.gfu

was huge. There were many fallen leaves on the ground. If he were to sweep it on his own, he might not even finish even if he took the entire day. It was obvious that they were trying to make things difficult for him.

Xie He didnt refuse though. He knew that he wasnt welcome here. Pleading was of no use. This, he had known for a long time.

He grabbed hold of the broom. Even though his legs were trembling, he slowly began to sweep.

444Host

dada
