“Sister Ah Tao, let’s not talk about me anymore. Why did you come to Jinling?” After crying for a long time, Fan Xuancao felt much better. She looked at Ji Zhao and frowned worriedly, “Jinling City is full of people. It’s not a place to stay for a long time.”

“I know.” Ji Zhao raised the back of her hand and wiped the tears off her face. She sighed softly and said, “I came to Jinling to look for Shen Yao.”

“Brother Shen, he came to Jinling too?”

“A month ago, Shen Yao disappeared on the Qinhuai River.”

“A month ago?” Fan Xuancao raised her eyebrows in confusion. Then, she suddenly looked up. “The person who was shot by Young Master Lin’s arrow was Big Brother Shen?”

“Xuancao, were you there that day?”

“Yes…” At this moment, Fan Xuancao’s entire body was trembling. “Sister Ah Tao, you should leave Jinling quickly. This is really not a place to stay for a long time!”

“Xuancao, did you see everything with your own eyes that day? Is Shen Yao really dead?”

“Sister Ah Tao, I don’t know if Brother Shen is still alive, but if an ordinary person’s heart is pierced, they will definitely die, right?” Fan Xuancao looked away guiltily and advised in a low voice, “Sister Ah Tao, the dead can’t be revived. You… you have to move on.”

Ji Zhao closed her eyes sadly.

Her body began to sway uncontrollably.

“No, he won’t… He promised me that he would return home safely. He’s not someone who goes back on his word!”

“Sister Ah Tao…”

Just as Fan Xuancao was about to persuade her, she heard a hurried knock on the door.

Her heart sank and she hurriedly opened the door.

“Mother Lou? What’s going on?”

“Xuan’er, Official Lin wants to see you. It’s urgent.”

“But the guest inside—”

“It’s fine. Leave it to me.”

Fan Xuancao could only nod. Before she left, she secretly exchanged glances with Ji Zhao.

In the end, Ji Zhao, who ‘couldn’t handle alcohol’, was arranged by Mother Lou to stay in another exquisite pleasure boat next to Qinhuai Tower.

“Get lost, all of you!” Ji Zhao scolded fiercely, then slammed the door shut.

Mother Lou shook her head in disappointment. She thought that this handsome young man was useful. Who would have thought that he would become like this after just two glasses of wine? It was really disappointing!

Ji Zhao sat upright on the soft couch, her eyes gradually turning from blurry to clear.

Meeting Fan Xuancao at Qinhuai Tower was indeed beyond her expectations.

However, whether Fan Xuancao’s words were true or not remained to be verified.

Although she really sympathized with Fan Xuancao, but now that she was in Jinling city, where danger lurked everywhere, she really couldn’t be sure if Fan Xuancao was a trustworthy person.

Now, she only hoped to find Shen Yao as soon as possible. That way, she would be satisfied.

What Ji Zhao did not expect was that Shen Yao was indeed not dead. In fact, he was in a residence not far from her.

Squeak-

Exhausted, Fan Xuancao returned to her residence and walked into the ear room.

It was only when the hot water covered her entire body that she gradually came back to her senses.

Thinking of Lin Zhixuan tonight, she felt so disgusted that she wanted to vomit.

She was really tired of such days. She wanted to be free as soon as possible.

However, she did not expect to meet Shen Yao and his wife again.

She was really grateful to them and really wanted to bring Shen Yao back.

An hour later, when the water in the bathtub was completely cold, Fan Xuancao put on a thin gauze dress and walked into the room next door.

By then, Shen Yao had already woken up.

However, his injuries were too serious, so he could not move.

“Brother Shen, are you feeling better today?” Fan Xuancao slowly approached and gently bit her red lips.

“Thank you for your concern. I’m much better.” Shen Yao’s tone was calm and emotionless.

Fan Xuancao looked at him in disappointment. “Brother Shen, are you blaming me in your heart?”

Shen Yao pursed his lips and remained silent.

The woman in front of him was no longer the lively and innocent junior sister from back then.

There was a strong scent of cosmetics on her body that made people subconsciously want to resist.

“Brother Shen, shall I help you apply the medicine?” Fan Xuancao pretended to be light-hearted and smiled.

“There’s no need. I’ve already applied medicine myself.”

“Brother Shen, do you have to keep me at arm’s length?” Fan Xuancao cried pitifully. “I don’t have any other intentions. I just hope that Brother Shen can recover as soon as possible…”

“Miss Fan.” Shen Yao looked at her deeply. “I’m afraid you won’t have a good ending if you ask a tiger for its skin.”

“Does Brother Shen despise me for being a prostitute?” Fan Xuancao smiled bitterly. “But what’s wrong with me? I’m just a woman. I was sold to a brothel. I once thought of escaping, but what happened in the end? It was a beating! Brother Shen, I don’t think you’ve experienced it before. The scorching feeling of being whipped on the back with a leather whip dipped in salt water is so painful that it’s suffocating…”

Shen Yao pursed his lips and closed his eyes gently.

Fan Xuancao suddenly moved closer, wanting to touch his lips—

“Brother Shen, as long as you’re willing to make love to me once, I’ll think of a way to contact Official Qin. What do you think?”

Shen Yao opened his eyes. The disgust in his eyes was self-evident.

“Brother Shen, are you unwilling?” Fan Xuancao was extremely disappointed. “Since Brother Shen is unwilling, I won’t force you. After all, it’s not sweet to force it.”

“It’s just that Brother Shen probably doesn’t know yet, right? Today, I saw Sister Ah Tao.”

Shen Yao suddenly widened his eyes and looked at her with a threatening gaze. “If anything happens to Zhaozhao, I won’t let you off!”

“So Brother Shen isn’t a cold-hearted person.” Fan Xuancao found it extremely interesting when she saw him getting angry. “So Sister Ah Tao is really your weakness. I thought Brother Shen was invincible!”

“I don’t know if Big Brother Shen has heard that Official Lin loves to dote on those beautiful women the most. Today, when I met Big Sister Ah Tao, I realized that Big Sister Ah Tao’s looks are above mine!”

Shen Yao glared at her, his eyes almost popping out.

“If I introduce Sister Ah Tao to Official Lin, I wonder if something interesting will happen?”

“Don’t you dare!”

“Brother Shen, are you threatening me?” Fan Xuancao pretended to be terrified and covered her chest. “Brother Shen, don’t be so rough. I can’t take a scare!” “Brother Shen, how about I give you one night to consider? As long as you agree to make love to me once, I’ll bring Sister Ah Tao to see you. You won’t lose out on this deal!”

Shen Yao glared at her fiercely and did not speak again.

On the other side, Ji Zhao, who had not dreamed for a long time, actually dreamed again.

This time, the dream was exceptionally clear.

She saw the heavily injured Shen Yao and the naked Fan Xuancao approaching him.

The moment she woke up from the dream, Ji Zhao was furious.

Bang!

The sleepy Fan Xuancao heard the bang and panicked.

When she saw the furious Ji Zhao, her mood miraculously calmed down.

“Sister Ah Tao, why are you here?”
