"Xuan!?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xin'er was momentarily stunned, her beautifully elongated eyes reflecting a hint of surprise. After all, she never expected Xuan to come here.
Just as Aotian Xue was lost in thought, the man glanced at her briefly before turning his gaze away, leaving Aotian Xue feeling both disappointed and angry.
At that moment, locked away in the dungeon, Aotian Xue heard Xin'er's words and instead of feeling grateful or moved, she began to shout defiantly.
Suddenly, her delicate face turned pale.
When she heard the man pause in his speech, her heart leaped into her throat.
At this point, Aotian Xue's eyes were bright with intensity.
The man's voice was deep, hoarse, and incredibly captivating.
"This place is dark and damp; it's not suitable for you. You're weak. What will happen if you catch a cold later?"
"Bring this woman twenty heavy lashes and prepare a carriage to send the Fourth Princess back to Qi Kingdom properly!"
"Xuan, you're so kind!"
"You know this much is good. Now hurry and release this princess. Imprisoning royalty is a death sentence!"
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, Xin'er couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"No, you can't do this! How dare you! I am the Fourth Princess of Qi Kingdom! Who would dare touch me? Be careful; when I return to Qi Kingdom, I'll have my father execute each one of you!"
Such an extraordinarily beautiful girl would stir feelings not only in Leng Yixuan but even in a sage.
As if sensing what Xin'er was thinking, Leng Yixuan strode over to her side and began to explain.
She was truly worried about Xuan's safety!
Since he entered, his tenderness and gaze had been entirely directed at the woman before him, the Shameless Woman.
No matter how he treated her, what could the Qi Emperor do if he found out!?
"Ha! Why can't I!?"
Although Aotian Xue had just hurled the most vicious insults at her, perhaps it was because she had been locked away for too long that her temper had become so volatile.
As her lips parted, she spoke.
It should be known that the economic lifeline of the Qi Kingdom was largely monopolized by him!
She had thought that by doing this, the woman would realize her mistake and change her ways, but instead, it only escalated.
"Who asked you to plead for me!? Don't think that your fake sympathy will move me! I don't need your pleas! Moreover, I advise you to release me quickly. Let me tell you, I'm not someone to be trifled with! I am the Princess of Qi. If you know what's good for you, let me out. If my father and brother find out how you've treated me, you'd better watch out!"
Upon seeing this, Leng Yixuan couldn't help but let out a gentle sigh.
The more she thought about it, the more worried Xin'er became.
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, two guards quickly approached from within the dungeon and stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Leng Yixuan's orders.
And this Shameless Woman!
"Xuan, is Sister Tianxue really the Fourth Princess of Qi!? How did you know!?"
"Bring them in!"
She was a dignified Princess of Qi, born of noble blood, and her appearance was not inferior to that of the Shameless Woman before her. Yet why did this man not even spare her a glance?
Heavens!
She clearly knew that she was the princess of the Qi Kingdom, yet her face remained indifferent and cold, showing no signs of fear or trepidation towards him.
At this moment, with the sparkle in her eyes, she appeared even more enchanting, evoking a sense of pity in those who beheld her.
After all, they understood that Leng Yixuan never spoke without evidence. If he said so, it meant that Aotian Xue was indeed the Fourth Princess of the Qi Kingdom!
Although Leng Yixuan was adept in the business world, he possessed an extraordinary memory; anything he had seen or heard just once would be firmly etched in his mind.
"Don't you believe me!? I really am a princess of the Qi Kingdom. If you don't believe me, have someone investigate. I am Aotian Xue, the Fourth Princess of the Qi Kingdom! I trust that with your capabilities, you will uncover my true identity!"
Upon hearing this, Xin'er couldn't help but nod.
Such a man was truly worthy of her noble status!
Seeing this, Aotian Xue couldn't help but step back and scream.
"Imprisoning royalty is a capital offense! But..."
"I believe that you are the Fourth Princess of the Qi Kingdom!"
At this point, Leng Yixuan paused, and Aotian Xue's heart raced like a pendulum swinging back and forth.
"Ha! You just realized it now!?"
Why wouldn’t this man even glance at her!?
Moreover, the noble aura he exuded could only belong to someone in power.
Seeing that Leng Yixuan was serious, Aotian Xue felt a surge of fear at that moment.
"Xuan, let her go! She is a princess, isn't she!? If you harm her..."
After all, she was the dignified Fourth Princess of the Qi Kingdom. Being locked away in a place meant for lowly people was something she could no longer endure.
Hearing Aotian Xue's words, Leng Yixuan merely scoffed in disdain.
A mere Princess of Qi, he certainly did not take her seriously!
However, that woman had been locked inside for a full ten days! Even a body of iron could not withstand the dampness of this place.
Regarding Aotian Xue's comments, Leng Yixuan's expression remained indifferent; the fact that she was the Princess of Qi did not change anything for him.
Aside from Aotian Xue's momentary confusion and ecstatic joy, Xiao Huan and Xin'er were both taken aback.
They could only call out to her.
At this point, Aotian Xue's brows were furrowed with arrogance and entitlement.
Since her arrival here, she had felt an unbearable chill and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.
"You can't do this!"
However, upon hearing Xin'er's words, Leng Yixuan, though not fond of this woman, did not want to see Xin'er upset. He decided to speak up and let them release her.
It was as if he were a caring husband, attentive in every way, making others envious.
So at this moment, hearing the woman's words and seeing her in such a disheveled state yet still holding onto her prideful demeanor, he realized that she was used to being arrogant. She did not seem to be lying.
Moreover, he had only confined Aotian Xue here; he had not punished her physically, which was already a light punishment.
"I only know that when she made a mistake, she was a maid of my Cold Manor."
Although the dungeon was dark and damp, Xin'er's eyes shone remarkably bright and beautiful.
Seeing Aotian Xue's panicked yet unrepentant demeanor, Leng Yixuan merely scoffed in disdain.
Of course, he did not voice these thoughts; he found no need to waste his breath on her.
After all, the man before her was too difficult to read.
Xin'er finished speaking, and Xiao Huan, full of curiosity, turned to Leng Yixuan, waiting for her response.
At this point, Leng Yixuan placed her hands behind her back and addressed the two guards behind her.
Although this man had trapped her here, she found herself inexplicably unable to hate him or resent him.
Upon hearing Aotian Xue's words, Leng Yixuan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
As she thought of this, Xin'er felt a tightening in her heart, and her eyes grew warm, a mist forming that quickly filled her gaze.
After all, he had never told her about this matter, fearing that she would soften and plead for his release. But those who did wrong must be punished.
Such a person was like a king standing at the pinnacle, with everyone else forced to crawl at his feet.
Upon hearing this, Xin'er’s delicate face froze for a moment before she turned to Leng Yixuan in disbelief.
"Xuan, just let it go! Release her!"
Therefore, no matter what happened, she had to have this man!
Her resentment towards Xin'er deepened.
As soon as he arrived here, he heard the venomous words this woman directed at Xin'er; they were truly grating on the ears.
With Leng Yixuan's words, the expressions of everyone in the dungeon varied greatly.
She had once thought that no one in this world could compare to her father and brother. However, this man stood alongside them without losing any of his grandeur!
"I just finished handling some matters and heard from my subordinates that you were here, so I came."
However, seeing this, Xin'er felt both pity and fear in her heart.
"When you make a mistake, you are just a maid of Cold Manor. Therefore, according to the rules of Cold Manor, if you err, you must accept the punishment."
"Heh heh, why should I be afraid!?"
At Aotian Xue's frenzied screams and threats, the two guards hesitated to step forward.
What has happened to me!?
Moreover, the one person Leng Yixuan could never refuse was Xin'er.
"Yes!"
After all, they were merely lowly guards; offending someone important could cost them their lives.
Xin'er pleaded.
"Alright, I'll do as you say."
Upon hearing Leng Yixuan's words, although the two guards behind him hesitated for a moment, they ultimately followed Leng Yixuan's instructions.
Leng Yixuan glanced at Aotian Xue with his long, deep black eyes before quickly looking away, his gaze settling on Xin'er's face as he spoke softly.
This made Aotian Xue, trapped in the dungeon, feel both envy and jealousy.
Now, hearing Aotian Xue's words, Leng Yixuan simply replied calmly.
Aotian Xue seethed with anger, her gaze towards Xin'er sharp and venomous like a blade, striking at Xin'er with every glance.
From the beginning to the end, his gaze towards Xin'er was filled with tenderness that anyone could see; his feelings for her were unmistakable.
"Master, here!"
Seeing this, Aotian Xue, who had originally held her chin high, couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart.
In the dungeon, Aotian Xue's face revealed a hint of nobility and pride after hearing Leng Yixuan's words.
Even her father, the emperor, would show him some respect!
Upon hearing Xin'er's words and seeing her pleading gaze, Leng Yixuan was not surprised at all.
After all, although the woman before him was the Fourth Princess of Qi Kingdom, she was still just a princess.
Seeing Xin'er smile brightly, Leng Yixuan, disregarding the presence of others, reached out and playfully tapped her delicate nose.
This only fueled his disdain for Aotian Xue even more.
That shameless woman! What else could she do besides pretending to be innocent!?
Compared to the affectionate scene between Leng Yixuan and Xin'er, everyone else had grown accustomed to it.
"Xuan, why not let her go? It's dark and damp here, and Sister Tianxue really only locked me in my room without doing anything too excessive. Just spare her!"
After all, she was the Fourth Princess of Qi Kingdom. What if he harmed her and she reported it to Qi Emperor? What would happen then!?
Moreover, as the man looked at her in such a way, her heart couldn't help but feel shy.
Thinking of this, Xin'er reached out and tugged at Leng Yixuan's sleeve, softly pleading.
Although she didn't know what Leng Yixuan intended to do with her, seeing his demeanor showed he wasn't intimidated by her status at all.
Her hands hidden within her sleeves were clenched into fists, nails digging into her flesh, yet she felt no pain!
She wanted to get out!
A sense of foreboding quickly spread through her heart.
Upon hearing the man's words, Aotian Xue felt a tightening in her chest and immediately shouted sharply.
At this point, Leng Yixuan paused for a moment before speaking again.
Although Xin'er felt a chill run down her spine under Aotian Xue's gaze, she had a good heart.
It was no wonder, though; this man was truly handsome!
Having been locked up here for ten whole days, she had trouble eating and sleeping, and at night, cockroaches and mice crawled around her. She was about to go mad.
"The surname Ao is only found among the royal family of Qi Kingdom, and indeed, there is a Fourth Princess named Aotian Xue!"
In this world, the only person who could make this business mogul's heart flutter was the girl before him!
After all, if this person were lying, there would surely be a hint of panic in her eyes. However, as this woman spoke, her brows were filled with disdain and pride, enough to conclude that she was not lying.
So even though he now knew her noble identity, Aotian Xue still felt uneasy inside.
This was the first time he truly looked at her.
After all, she was the most favored Fourth Princess of Qi Kingdom. In this world, anything she desired was within her reach.
Seeing this, Xin'er immediately grasped Leng Yixuan's arm and pleaded.
Moreover, the last fire incident wasn't her doing; she merely locked her in the room—she was not guilty of anything!
And his concern and affection were evident in his expression.
Even though she looked disheveled and in distress now, she still maintained her arrogant demeanor.
Before Xin'er could finish her words, Leng Yixuan stopped her with a hand.
However, this scene fell into Aotian Xue's eyes like fuel to a fire, igniting her anger within.
"Accept punishment!? How dare you!?"
When Leng Yixuan heard Aotian Xue's words, he merely cast a fleeting glance at her with his handsome face.
Looking at the scene before her, where a talented man and a beautiful woman stood together, what she wanted most was to tear them apart.
After all, why should it be like this!?
Indeed—
In the past, if someone dared to treat her this way, she would have undoubtedly cut him down without hesitation! However, when it came to the man before her, she simply couldn't bring herself to do it.
Hmph, just wait! I will make you pay!
The seeds of hatred and jealousy continued to grow within Aotian Xue's heart.
Meanwhile, Xin'er, who was lost in Leng Yixuan's affectionate gaze, had no idea that disaster was about to strike…
