In the light of the lamp, the handsome face of the young man stiffened for a moment. A pair of sharp black eyes instantly flashed with complex expressions. He withdrew his hand, chuckled, and said calmly, "It's the first time someone has told me to be presumptuous."

Ye Lily was a little annoyed at her own loss of composure. Xiao Jack always did things beyond common sense. Just now, in her urgency, she actually brought out the manner of being a queen in the harem before. This person was very smart. She hoped he wouldn't discover anything. But not knowing what to say, she could only remain silent.

Xiao Jack broke the silence. He sat down on the chair opposite Ye Lily and also poured himself a cup of tea. Suddenly thinking of something, he took out a paper package from his bosom and opened it. It was actually a bunch of exquisitely made pastries. They looked even better than those from Guangfu Zhai in the capital.

Xiao Jack ate the pastries and drank the tea in big mouthfuls, saying, "I came in a hurry and didn't have dinner. Tsk, this tea is really bad." He looked like a picky young master.

"Did Lord Xiao come here to drink tea and eat pastries?" Ye Lily looked at him.

"Of course not." Xiao Jack suddenly smiled and picked up a pastry and stuffed it into Ye Lily's mouth. His movement was so fast that by the time Ye Lily reacted, her mouth was already filled with a sweet taste.

Xiao Jack propped his chin and looked at her with a leisurely posture, but his words were very sharp.

"After eating my things, now answer my questions."

The fragrance of the pastry spread in her mouth, with a light sweetness and a moderate fruity flavor. The taste lingered on her lips and teeth. Even Ye Lily, who didn't like sweet things, couldn't help but find it delicious.

"What's the relationship between Prince Yu and you?"

Ye Lily looked at him, "You might as well ask me why I did this tonight."

"If you are willing to say, I'll listen attentively."

"Those who insult others will be insulted. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Xiao Jack's expression changed several times in his eyes. He raised his lips and smiled, his tone somewhat inexplicable, "You are quite cruel. Putting your sister and that old dog Prince Yu together."

Calling Prince Yu an "old dog", only someone as lawless as Xiao Jack would dare to say so.

"When they sent me out, they never thought I was their sister." Ye Lily retorted sharply.

Her words were cold, without disguising her disgust and contempt for those people. Her expression was indifferent in the light of the lamp and her eyes seemed to have flames burning.

"What an audacious girl." Xiao Jack stretched his body, "Prince Yu won't let you go afterwards."

"That also depends on whether he has the ability." Ye Lily remained unmoved.

"You told me so much..." Xiao Jack pondered. Suddenly, his body leaned forward, almost reaching the tip of Ye Lily's nose. He got so close that even Ye Lily couldn't help but be slightly startled. However, she didn't want to be overpowered in momentum, so she sat still without moving.

The young man's face was extremely handsome. The smile on the corner of his mouth carried a touch of evil, but his voice contained deliberate flirtatiousness. He whispered in her ear, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell others?"

"Lord Xiao can do whatever he wants. Anyway, I'm also curious. Whether the Lin'an Marquis Mansion has any actions that made the legitimate eldest son come to Wolong Temple to relax in the middle of the night."

Xiao Jack's appearance here tonight was by no means accidental. And he brought a group of highly skilled black-clothed men. His identity was even more shocking. There were no coincidences for no reason in this world. Xiao Jack didn't come to see her. Probably he was planning something and the two happened to run into each other.

The young man's eyes were very beautiful, a pair of extremely charming peach blossom eyes. When he smiled, he could attract people's minds. But when he was cold, he emitted a dangerous cold light.

For a moment, Ye Lily was overpowered by Xiao Jack's momentum. She wasn't someone who hadn't seen those with imposing manners. The royal family of Qin, the royal family of Ming Qi, and even those extremely arrogant Xiongnu. But this person in front of her seemed even more dangerous.

"You have a lot of courage." He smiled slightly.

"Same to you."

Xiao Jack stood up, glanced at her, and said calmly, "I have no interest in that old dog's matter. If you dare to reveal half a word about tonight's incident, Ye girl, killing people to silence them is not just talk."

As soon as the words were finished, he opened the window and leaped out, disappearing into the rainy curtain of the night.

The cool rain drifted in through the window and also landed on Ye Lily's cheek. The coldness climbed up her cheek and the wind blew her mind a little clearer. Ye Lily let out a breath.

Dealing with Xiao Jack was like walking on a tightrope. This young man was young but unfathomable. Every word seemed casual but was actually testing in a roundabout way. That dangerous feeling made her uneasy. Although she didn't regard the Lin'an Marquis Mansion as an enemy of the Ye family, now the relationship between the two mansions was distinct. Xiao Jack naturally wouldn't have no grudges.

Tonight's encounter, Xiao Jack should have come to do something. Different from the flirtatious and joking Young Lord Xiao in the capital, he in the rainy night seemed to have changed into a different person. At first, she only knew that Xiao Jack had some ability. Now thinking about it, the secrets of the Lin'an Marquis Mansion were not simple either.

Her gaze fell on the table. The pastries that Xiao Jack hadn't finished were still on the table. If it weren't for these, everything would seem like a dream without a trace. But it wasn't the time to think about these now. Xiao Jack wasn't very important to her at present. Tomorrow... Everything will wait until tomorrow.

On the back mountain, the pattering rain moistened the entire mountain range. A group of people were standing under a tree.

The young man at the head was tall and slender. The rain wetted his clothes and his hair. But he stood like a statue, not moving at all, just looking down the mountain in a daze.

After a moment, somewhere down the mountain, suddenly a small firework bloomed. To say it was a firework, it was rather a small cluster of light and disappeared very quickly. It vanished in just an instant.

The young man turned around, his tone flat and showing no ups and downs, "It's done."

"The young master is injured." The middle-aged man beside him frowned.

He lowered his head and looked at the fresh knife mark on his arm. The incense in that room earlier was originally used for men. Once inhaled and guided by * *, people would lose their rationality and fall into madness. Its effect on women wasn't that strong. That girl escaped a disaster. Although he was rational and transcendent, he wasn't a saint after all. Afraid of accidents, he had to use such a method to stay awake.

"Let's talk about it when we go back."

"Young master," The middle-aged man was a little hesitant but continued to speak, "That Miss Ye saw today..."

"Tie Yi, just a little girl. I don't need to act." The young man's beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed and his tone was rather cold.

The big man was a little afraid of him. Thought for a moment but still summoned up the courage and said, "But the Ye family might know..."

"The Ye family doesn't know." The young man said coldly, "The Ye family are all stupid. It's not easy to have a smart one." He seemed to think of something and smiled slightly, "What a pity."

The middle-aged man moved his lips but finally didn't speak.

"Let's go."

At the same time in the North Pavilion.

In the room adjacent to the innermost one, Ren Wanyun sat at the table. She only lit a small oil lamp. The light of the lamp flickered on and off like her heart.

Xiang Lan said, "Madam, it's already the third watch. Please rest."

Ren Wanyun shook her head, showing a little impatience on her face, "I can't sleep." Somehow, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart. This unease didn't know where it came from. And Mama Gui also said that everything went very smoothly.

And she herself went out of the yard and also heard the movement coming from the innermost room. In the rainy night, it was dark and not very clear, but she could hear the voice of a woman crying and struggling. Although not very clearly, the tragic and miserable sound could be heard clearly. Ren Wanyun blushed and her heart beat fast when she heard it, but she also couldn't help but be frightened. It was said in the capital that Prince Yu had many ways to play with women. Now it seemed that it was true. Ye Lily must have suffered a lot. Although she was a little scared, in addition to the fear, a sense of pleasure also arose.
