Nan Yi Xing sat in the carriage on his way to the Wang Fu of a different surname, still thinking about the relationship between Xia Tian Meng and Xia Tai Shi.

  He had only heard that Tai Shi's wife had hanged herself, but as for the specific reason, he wasn't very clear. He only knew that when Xia Tianmeng was 10 years old, she had a serious illness and almost didn't make it back.

  "Help! Save me!"

  A woman's cry of surprise from outside brought him back to his senses, and the carriage came to an abrupt stop. If he hadn't had martial arts skills by his side, he might have crashed into the wall of the carriage. He furrowed his brow: "What happened?"

  The groom outside hastily replied: "Report to the master, there is a 'daughter' outside being chased by a group of men, and now she is kneeling in front of the horse!"

  "Oh?" Nanyi Xiu slightly raised an eyebrow, reached out and lifted the carriage curtain, and saw the 'girl' kneeling in front of the horse.

  Although the coarse linen dress was rough, it still showed off her slender figure, and although her facial features were not particularly beautiful, they were charming and moving, with a few strands of disheveled hair adding to her charm.

  The girl saw Nan Yihe and hastily begged: "Sir, please! Please save my life!" As she spoke, tears were about to fall, causing the men who had stopped to watch by the side of the road to feel pity for her. The several strong men who had been chasing her saw that she was kneeling in front of a luxurious carriage and did not dare to approach, they could only stand there holding their knives.

  Nan Yi slightly raised an eyebrow, looked her up and down, and hooked his lips: "What?"

  The young woman saw his gaze and only slightly shrunk her body, trembling with tears: "My family is of good social status, but because my old father was a compulsive gambler, he lost all our property, and even our old house was mortgaged! Now these debt collectors want to sell me into prostitution, I refuse to go, so they want to use force! I only ask the officer to save me, I am willing to be a cow or a horse to repay your kindness!" The look of expectation in her eyes made all the men around her feel like helping the young woman.

  Nan Yi's eyebrows rose slightly in surprise: "What do you want me to be a cow or a horse for? There are many who are willing to be cows and horses for me, but you have to let me see your value."

  The people around him cast accusatory glances at him. How could he be so heartless and ruthless to this poor little girl?

  The woman seemed to feel embarrassed, and turned her head to glance at the several sturdy men behind her with a fierce gaze. She could only knock her head again: "I'm willing to do anything! As long as the official saves me! I really don't want to be sold!" The tenacious look was quite moving.

  Nan Yi slightly nodded and opened his mouth: "A Gui."

  The attendant standing beside the carriage stepped forward and asked those strong men: "How much does she owe you?"

  The onlookers around couldn't help but sigh at the sight, a beautiful young woman being ruined by the rich family's son! Some women even felt jealous of Nan Yi-xiao's attire and entourage, wishing they could be young again to experience a heroic rescue by such a handsome and wealthy young man.

  The ghost threw a purse of money to the several strong men, and only returned to answer after seeing them hastily run away: "Master, it's all right." Even though the weaker and more pitiful 'daughter' knelt at his feet, he didn't even give her a glance.

  The woman hastily kowtowed and cried tears of gratitude: "Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"

  He reached out with a playful expression and stroked his chin, curling up the corners of his lips: "Since Young Master bought you, that means you're Young Master's person now?"

  The girl's face was slightly red with shyness, her delicate and charming appearance was mesmerizing. She slightly tilted her head and called out: "Officer..." The men surrounding them couldn't help but feel their hearts soften at the sound of her voice. They couldn't help but feel even more envious of Nan Yi Xun's good fortune, with his wealth and status, he could even meet such a beauty on the street!

  Nan Yi's smile froze on his face, and he turned cold: "A Gui, send her to Yang Tai Fu's mansion as a servant girl. Just say that Young Master saw an injustice on the road and met her. Don't be polite!"

  "Yes!" Ah Gui lowered his head in response, beckoned with his hand, and the two 'guards' behind him came out to grab the woman's arms and drag her aside to let the carriage go first.

  The woman struggled free and could only cry out in a soft voice: "Sir! Sir, what are you doing?"

  Nan Yi Xiu merely hooked his lips slightly: "Since Young Master has bought you, whether you live or die is up to Young Master's words. Young Master didn't let you go to the brothel to be a prostitute, but rather just to be a serving maid."

  The girl was so shocked that she forgot to cry, and struggled: "No! No! Help! Please save me!"

  The people around her, even if they looked at her with pity, did not dare to come forward and offer a helping hand.

  The reputation of Yang Taifu's wife, Guan Yan, has already spread to the common people. Everyone knows that the old man with a big white beard, Yang Taifu, has a young and beautiful wife, Taifu Madame. She is not only young but also as beautiful as a flower. She married a poor scholar and supported him until he became the current Taifu official. Yang Taifu likes beautiful women, but he secretly flirts with them without daring to let Taifu Madame know. However, Taifu Madame is a fierce and hot-tempered person who looks down on women who try to curry favor with her husband and the young masters in the mansion. Those who tried to seduce Taifu and the young masters were all chased away by her.

  The girl, before she got married, was given a bad reputation and naturally couldn't marry into a good family. This girl is beautiful and delicate, but I'm afraid Madam Taifu can't tolerate her!

  This young master, since he dares to be so direct and disregard the opinions of Madame Taifu, sending a young woman into the mansion, must not be an ordinary person! He's probably some kind of royal relative! Even if they're moved by this woman, they won't take the initiative to look for trouble!

  Nan Yi saw the originally indignant pedestrians now silently watching the 'girl' cry, and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. Before he even put down the carriage curtain, he heard a clear call: "Xiao Er."

  He suddenly stiffened his body, and when he turned around again, he had a big smile on his face. If Xia Tian Meng were here, she would definitely laugh at his "dog legs". He smiled and greeted the newcomer: "Big brother!"

  A figure in a white silk dress with black hair and fair skin, standing tall, shining like the clear moonlight on a quiet night.

  Nan Qi smiled slightly, warm and smooth like 'jade': "Little Er, what are you doing here?" His eyes also glanced at the crying, unattractive girl being dragged away.

  Nan Yi coughed and lifted the car curtain: "Big brother, come in and talk." He really didn't want to be scolded by big brother in front of so many people on the street!

  Nan Qi understood his meaning and didn't make things difficult for him, so he got on the carriage directly.

  Until he sat down, Nan Yi Ke finally spoke with a flattering tone: "Yesterday, Meng Ya was injured. I went to the Tai Shi's residence to see her today."

  Nan Qi was slightly stunned, and only then did he remember that the guard had told him yesterday when he returned to his room at the second watch that Xia Tian Meng had been hit on the head by the third miss of the Ye family. However, he was too busy and didn't care much about it, so he hadn't paid attention to it.

  Xia Tai Shi was his enlightenment teacher, no matter what he should go visit him in person.

  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Xia Tian's deep affection for him in the summer, and furrowed his brow.

  Although he was moved by Xia Tianmeng's special treatment of him, he had no feelings for her in his heart and was really unwilling to nod, even though he knew how much the Emperor valued Xia Tianmeng, and had even privately told himself that Xia Tianmeng had the demeanor of a queen.
