Zuiyuelou is an ordinary restaurant in Shangyong. If there is anything extraordinary about it, it is that the boss behind Zuiyuelou has quite a history.
However, it is not difficult to understand that if it were not for its extraordinary origin, Zuiyue Tower would not have been able to open two streets away from the Prince of Chu's Mansion.
It's just that the shopkeeper of Zuiyue Tower was a little worried today. Even though Zuiyue Tower was full of guests during dinner time, he couldn't relax his brows a little.
Because not long ago he saw the token of His Royal Highness the Regent.
The shopkeeper didn't know why His Highness the Regent gave his token to a little girl, and he didn't even know why His Highness the Regent came to Zuiyue Tower but didn't come in through the main entrance in an upright manner.
Moreover, I dare not ask why His Royal Highness the Regent and a little girl eavesdropped on Mr. Xuan Yu’s date with the girl.
But he always felt that something big was going to happen today.
This feeling had started ever since he saw Master Xuan Yu entering Zuiyue Tower, and it had always made him feel uneasy. He didn't know if he should inform his master in advance.
But if it turns out that he is overthinking, it will be difficult for the master to explain.
Just when the shopkeeper was filled with sorrow, a group of people stepped into Zuiyue Tower in great force.
The shopkeeper quickly stopped his random thoughts, straightened his sleeves and went forward with a smile.
"Everyone..." As soon as he said these two words, the shopkeeper was moved to the side. The waiter standing behind him quickly gave him a hand to prevent him from accidentally slipping into the waist.
The leader was an arrogant and domineering young man wearing royal blue brocade clothes.
The shopkeeper was naturally unhappy after being pushed, but he did not dare to offend these people. He could only pretend that it was nothing and continued to apologize and said with a smile: "It's Mr. Zheng Liu of the Chengguo Palace and Mr. Xu of the General Huaiyuan Palace. These two are really rare guests. How many of them are there?
Young Master, please come upstairs, and I will guide you all the way."
The arrogant young man snorted and said, "Is Xie Chengyou here?"
"This..." The shopkeeper was a little hesitant. He seemed to be looking for trouble. I didn't hear that Mr. Xuan Yu had any conflicts with these two gentlemen.
One of these two is the most favored Young Master Sun in the Chengguo Palace, and the other is the only son of General Huaiyuan and Princess Changzhao. If they really offend Master Xuanyu, it may be difficult to deal with them.
The other person was more polite and said with a smile: "It seems like we are really here."
Several young men behind the two also started to cheer, "Shopkeeper, do you have a look? We are here to find Xie Chengyou, why don't we lead the way?"
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically and said, "This... would you like Rong Xiao to go up and report it?"
The sixth son of Duke Chengguo laughed and said: "Is it possible that Xie Chengyou is doing something shameful? Shopkeeper, I know who the master behind you is. The worst I can do is destroy your shop, and I will go back to that person's house.
Kneel down and apologize, but today...you have to give in and you have to give in!"
How dare the shopkeeper stop him? Let alone the sixth son of Cheng Guogong, for the sake of Princess Changzhao, his master will definitely not blame the juniors.
The shopkeeper could only say: "I don't dare, I don't dare, please."
The young men were not polite and swarmed up and headed upstairs.
They seemed to have known where Xie Chengyou was for a long time. They didn't stop on the second floor at all and ran straight up the stairs to the third floor.
In a private room on the third floor, a chair in the small hall was lying upside down, and there were fresh fruits scattered on the ground. It had obviously been knocked over.
On a small low couch in the room, two disheveled men and women were cuddling together. The woman's slightly closed eyes moved slightly, and her beautiful face was filled with an intoxicating blush.
Shen Lingxiang slowly opened his eyes, sat up suddenly and was about to stand up, but just as he stood up, his feet became weak and he fell to the ground.
This movement woke up Xie Chengyou who was originally sleeping. Xie Chengyou sat up and was also stunned when he saw the situation in front of him.
But he soon saw Shen Lingxiang sitting on the ground, looking in pain, and he quickly got up, picked her up and put her on the soft couch.
Shen Lingxiang's face turned pale and he struggled hard, "Don't touch me! Let me go!"
Xie Chengyou refused to let go, held her in his arms forcefully, and said softly: "Lingxiang, don't be afraid, don't be afraid... I'm here."
Shen Lingxiang whimpered and raised his hand to beat Xie Chengyou's chest, "How could you do this to me?! What do you want me to do in the future... Wuwu..."
Xie Chengyou also remembered that he had forcibly grabbed Shen Lingxiang who was about to leave, and took her by force despite her resistance.
Xie Chengyou felt a little guilty about this, but he didn't feel too regretful.
He truly loved Shen Lingxiang, and he also knew that Shen Lingxiang liked him. Although he could not marry her as his wife, in Xie Chengyou's eyes, Shen Lingxiang had long been his possession.
He simply couldn't tolerate that Shen Lingxiang really followed the Luo family's orders and found someone to marry as she said before.
Wouldn't this be just right now?
Xie Chengyou couldn't help but thought to himself: "Although he has wronged Ling Xiang, he will definitely compensate her in the future."
Xie Chengyou stroked Shen Lingxiang's hair and said softly: "Lingxiang, don't be afraid. I will definitely be responsible for you. I..." At this moment, the young man's arrogant voice came from outside, "Xie Chengyou Where?!"
The expressions of Xie Chengyou and Shen Lingxiang both changed. Xie Chengyou lowered his head and looked at Shen Lingxiang, "Who knew you were here?"
Shen Lingxiang shook his head in panic and couldn't help but shrink into Xie Chengyou's arms.
Before Xie Chengyou could react, the door was kicked open from the outside.
Several people poured in, and while still in the small hall outside, someone sniffed and couldn't help but ask, "What does it smell like?"
The people present were all the rich and powerful, young masters and dandies from Shangyong Imperial City. How could they not know what the smell was in the air?
The Sixth Young Master of the Chengguo Palace sneered and said mockingly: "Young Master Xuan Yu is really busy? I heard that he was banned by the regent. It's a rare occasion for him to come here to have a private meeting with a beautiful lady?"
While he was talking, everyone had already poured into the inner room.
The private room was not large, and Xie Chengyou and Shen Lingxiang had no way to hide. They didn't even have time to tidy up their clothes before they were blocked by others.
Xie Chengyou said angrily: "Get out!"
The Sixth Young Master of Chengguo Palace sneered and said: "Xie Xuanyu, if the regent hadn't banned you, I would have come to trouble you a long time ago! You can come out on your own today!"
Xie Chengyou said: "Zheng Jingchuan, when did I ever offend you?"
"When have you ever offended me?" The Sixth Young Master of Duke Cheng's Mansion sneered: "Giving the things you cheated to my grandfather made him embarrassed and depressed for several days. I didn't catch him last time at the Princess Mansion. You, you can’t escape today, can you?”
After hearing what he said, Xie Chengyou naturally understood the other person's intention.
Xu Chengyu, the son of Princess Changzhao, naturally came to vent her anger on her sister.
Xie Chengyou gritted his teeth and said, "You guys get out first!"
Zheng Jingchuan was usually arrogant, and even Xie Chengyou didn't take him seriously. Now that he has Princess Changzhao's son with him, he is no longer afraid.
Even if the regent pursues the case, can he still not give Princess Changzhao any face?
Then he laughed and said: "Get out of here! Brothers, let everyone in Shangyong see the true face of the leader of the Seven Shows of the Imperial City!"
These dandy boys have always hated the sanctimonious guy like Xie Chengyou who flaunts himself as a young talent.
Others also agreed and immediately stepped forward to pull the two people out to show the public.
They didn't know that the girl was Shen Lingxiang. They thought she was a prostitute from some restaurant because she was so bold and had sex with a man in a restaurant.
Shen Lingxiang was so frightened that she immediately screamed in Xie Chengyou's arms.
The dudes who came closer were stunned for a moment, and one of them said hesitantly: "Why does this voice... sound familiar?"
Shen Lingxiang is the most talented woman in the capital, and naturally many people have met her.
The dandy turned back to look at the leaders Zheng Jingchuan and Xu Chengyu. Zheng Jingchuan winked at them, and they immediately stopped hesitating and rushed over to pull Shen Lingxiang out of Xie Chengyou's arms.
"You are so brave! Zheng Jingchuan, Xu Chengyu, I will not let you go!" Xie Chengyou struggled, but it was of no use.
Xu Chengyu is not as arrogant as Zheng Jingchuan, but he is not a soft persimmon either.
He raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Xuan Yu has any objections, just go to His Highness the Regent and complain, I will just accompany you!"
"you!"
Shen Lingxiang was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and his face was as pale as paper.
Although she tried her best to cover her face, she was only wearing a thin middle coat, and her small narrow sleeves could not cover her face.
"Miss Shen...Miss Shen?!" The dude who saw her face first couldn't help shouting.
"..." There was silence in the room.
Shen Lingxiang has a good reputation in Shangyong, and it can even be said that many dandies in the imperial city have a certain admiration for her.
There are naturally many people who are willing to marry her, but Shen Lingxiang doesn't like these people. She wants to be a powerful and powerful woman who can take charge of the family, instead of spending her whole life looking at people's faces and living with a little monthly money. 's little wife.
At this moment, Shen Lingxiang almost wanted to faint immediately. Why is this happening?! It's obviously not like this!
Where did these people come from? They were obviously looking for Xie Chengyou, so how did they know that Xie Chengyou was here?!
Seeing everyone's strange looks on him, Shen Lingxiang hurriedly pulled up his messy clothes, his face flushed with shame and anger.
Zheng Jingchuan rolled his eyes at the two of them and suddenly laughed out loud, "I see, that's what I mean...Why did Miss Luo suddenly fall out with Mr. Xuan Yu? It turns out that's what happened. Brother Xie has a good plan." Ah, spending the money of the second girl of the Luo family to sleep with someone else’s cousin. Could it be that... I originally planned to hug her from left to right..."
"Ahem." Xu Chengyu coughed lightly and glanced at Zheng Jingchuan, telling him to be careful not to bring anyone else with him when he spoke.
Zheng Jingchuan also reacted quickly and changed his words: "The Luo family really has a white-eyed wolf."
"No, it's not..." Shen Lingxiang wanted to refute for himself.
A person next to him laughed and said, "No? Is it possible that Mr. Xuan Yu forced Miss Shen?"
Shen Lingxiang remained silent, trembling all over and about to collapse.
"That's enough for you!" Xie Chengyou said angrily.
Zheng Jingchuan smiled and said: "Enough, why is it not enough? I am in a good mood today, so I will settle the rest another day. Brother Cheng Yu, come on, let's go down and have a drink?"
Xu Chengyu readily agreed, his eyes lingering on Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou for a moment, and said: "Chengyu is waiting to drink my cousin's wedding wine."
"Wait, you guys..."
"Hey, why are there so many people here?" Xie Yuan's voice suddenly sounded at the door. Everyone turned around and saw Xie Yuan coming in from the outside with two girls.
"Lingxiang, what are you doing here...ah?! What's going on?!"
Halfway through his words, Xie Yuan was startled when he saw the embarrassed appearance of the two people inside, and couldn't help but scream.
Xie Chengyou and Shen Lingxiang were not the only ones on the third floor. Zheng Jingchuan and others had already alerted others by kicking in the door. They just saw several people rushing in and didn't want to cause trouble so they didn't come over to check.
At this time, hearing Xie Yuan's cry, someone finally couldn't help but quietly poked his head at the door, but he didn't dare to come in.
Xie Yuan pointed at Shen Lingxiang and Xie Chengyou, "Brother, Lingxiang, you..."
Although she was also a young girl, she was not completely ignorant of these things. Looking at Zheng Jingchuan and the others, she immediately knew that something was wrong.
Zheng Jingchuan said with a smile: "The Lord of Huaishu County is here too. This is your family's business. Outsiders like us will not interfere. Congratulations to the County Lord on having a sister-in-law. Oh, no, it's a cousin-in-law. Let's go. !”
A few people didn't care about Xie Chengyou's murderous look, they came and left in a mighty manner.
There were only three people left in the room and a deathly silence.
After a long time, Xie Chengyou finally asked: "Ayuan, why are you here?"
Xie Yuan said: "Didn't Ling Xiang send someone to send me a letter, saying that he had something to discuss with me?" She had just received a lot of good things from Shen Lingxiang a few days ago, so naturally it was hard to refuse.
Xie Chengyou suddenly turned his head to look at Shen Lingxiang, his eyes filled with suspicion for a moment.
Shen Lingxiang opened his eyes wide, covered his heart with his hands and shook his head wildly. His voice couldn't be controlled and he said, "I didn't!!"
However, seeing the suspicious looks from both Xie Chengyou and Xie Yuan, Shen Lingxiang's heart instantly felt as cold as falling into an ice cave.
