Gou Yue was enraged. He growled, "Niu Youde, don't be so shameless!"
He couldn't help but be angry. His Highness had already compromised to this extent and even said such things, but the other party didn't appreciate it.
Miao Yi wasn't angry at all. He waved his hand and said, "Mister Gou, don't worry. Since His Highness has given me face, I will naturally accept it. However, there is no need to sacrifice Miss Mei 'er for the secret alliance. There is also no need for Miss Mei' er to be the middleman. As long as both parties come to an agreement and work together in secret, it will be fine!"
"Hmph …" Gou Yue laughed coldly. He was both angry and amused at the same time. 'Who do you think you are?
To put it bluntly, to Lord Guang, there was no alliance between him and Miao Yi. He didn't need to ally with anyone either. Did he need to ally with the other Heavenly Kings? From the start, he had never said he wanted to ally with Miao Yi. The so-called secret alliance was just Miao Yi's wishful thinking. This wasn't what Lord Guang wanted. What Lord Guang wanted was to hold Niu Youde in his hands!
Allies were too unreliable. As long as there were benefits, they could form alliances and work together with others at any time!
Why did Lord Guang not hesitate to give his beloved Guang Mei 'er to Miao Yi as a concubine? He even asked Gou Yue to bring Guang Mei 'er here and made it clear that she could be used by Miao Yi anytime. He wanted to cut off Miao Yi's other paths of retreat!
"An agreement may not be reliable. A father-in-law, son-in-law, and relative relationship is more reliable!"
"If Mister Gou must put it this way, I'm afraid a father-in-law and son-in-law relationship isn't reliable either. If you want to fall out with him, you can still do it. So what if my wife is Heavenly King Kou's adopted daughter?"
"How can an adopted daughter be compared to a biological daughter? Governor, don't forget that Miss Mei 'er's mother is the Princess Consort!" At this point, Gou Yue didn't want to beat around the bush with Miao Yi anymore. He went straight to the point, "Governor, you can't offer anything to help His Highness at the moment. You will need His Highness to help you in secret for a long time. In order not to be exposed, you will need to put in a lot of effort. Other than for his own son-in-law, His Highness wouldn't need to put in so much effort!"
Miao Yi calmly said, "Mister Gou, you are making things difficult for me!"
Gou Yue scoffed, "Who knows how many princes and nobles are longing to get intimate with Miss Mei 'er. This is a wonderful thing that can't be found even with a lantern, how did it become a problem?"
Miao Yi couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with him on this matter, "Mister Gou, Miss Mei 'er is indeed alluring. I am also a man, and I do want to get intimate with her. However, if I really wanted to get intimate with her, I would definitely do it openly. There's no need to be so sneaky, and even give birth to an illegitimate child. Why don't you tell Wangye that I will openly marry Miss Mei 'er? "
Gou Yue's face darkened. What kind of joke was this? In the current situation, wouldn't it be a waste of effort if he were to marry her openly? Not only would His Highness lose a daughter for nothing, he would also lose the reputation of making his daughter a concubine. Who did you think you were? How could it be so easy to marry the daughter of a prince?
"Governor, are you really not going to reconsider?"
"If I marry her openly, but Your Highness doesn't agree, then there's really no need to consider it."
Gou Yue turned around and looked towards the direction of the city gates. With a cold expression, he said, "I don't feel comfortable staying in this small place. Let her go!"
"No problem!" Miao Yi turned around and gestured to Yang Zhaoqing with his head. He couldn't wait to send this old man away.
Yang Zhaoqing immediately made arrangements.
When Yun Zhiqiu heard the news, he quickly brought Guang Mei 'er back. He already knew that it was impossible, and Gou Yue had no reason to keep Guang Mei' er here.
However, before he left, Gou Yue asked for Miao Yi's contact details. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to always send messages through Mei Niang and her daughter. Who knew if he would still contact this guy in the future.
Outside the palace gates, Guang Mei 'er bade farewell to the couple in a daze. She had no idea why she was here, and was a little confused. Didn't they say that she was here to play? Why did they bring her back immediately?
Miao Yi glanced at her with a hint of sympathy. He thought to himself, 'If this woman knew the truth, how would she feel?'
As usual, Miao Yi sent them off with a dragon letter. The one million hostages wouldn't be released in the Dark Hell Realm. They would only be released when they were out of the Dark Hell Realm. And Miao Yi didn't do anything to them either.
Miao Yi fell silent as he watched them disappear into the sky. Yun Zhiqiu turned to look at him and asked curiously, "What happened?"
Miao Yi smiled faintly. "What else could it be? I just wanted to get the hostages back. I still have other matters to attend to." He then turned around and left. He didn't reveal the truth, lest Yun Zhiqiu misunderstood.
Why did he want hostages? Why did he bring Guang Mei 'er here in such a hurry and take her away? Yun Zhiqiu was suspicious. She quickly turned to Yang Zhaoqing, wanting to ask him about it.
However, Yang Zhaoqing immediately cupped his fists and said, "Madam, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave now."
Yun Zhiqiu was the best at reading people's expressions. She immediately noticed that something was off. She realized that both master and servant were trying to avoid her. They were trying to hide something from her! She immediately raised her eyebrows and calmly said, "Stop right there!"
Yang Zhaoqing, who had already taken a few steps away, suddenly stopped. He stared at Miao Yi's departing figure and cursed inwardly. He slowly turned around and calmly asked, "What orders do you have, Madam?"
Leading Xue 'er closer, Yun Zhiqiu glared at him coldly. "Speak. Is there anything else you need to hide from me?"
Yang Zhaoqing was surprised. "Why do you say that, Madam?"
Yun Zhiqiu put on a fake smile and said, "Yang Zhaoqing, I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Do you think I'm easy to fool because I'm a woman? Tell me, how do you plan to deceive me in the future? "
Yang Zhaoqing broke out in a cold sweat. Once the Heavenly Palace's decree was issued, their relationship would immediately become that of master and servant. Yang Zhaoqing felt immense pressure. How did it turn into how he planned to deceive her in the future? How was he supposed to do things in the future if he trusted her or not?
Yang Zhaoqing knew how powerful she was. If she found out, he wouldn't be able to hide it anymore. He thought about it again and realized that there wasn't anything he couldn't say. Miao Yi probably just didn't want Yun Zhiqiu to overthink things. He could only sigh and explain Gou Yue's true purpose for coming here.
Yun Zhiqiu was stunned when she heard the story. Then, realization dawned on her. No wonder Guang Mei 'er was in such a hurry. She raised an eyebrow and glared at Miao Yi coldly. "Isn't this a good thing? Even women are moved by Guang Mei 'er. How could Milord possibly refuse?"
Yang Zhaoqing quickly waved his hand and said, "He didn't! Milord really didn't! "
Yun Zhiqiu put on a smile again and said gently, "This won't do Milord any harm and will only benefit him. It's not a big deal if he agreed."
How could Yang Zhaoqing not know that there was a dagger hidden behind her smile? He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "Madam, you don't have to test me. I really didn't lie to you. Milord really didn't agree …" He quickly repeated what Miao Yi had said when he rejected Gou Yue to clear his name. He had no choice. Miao Yi could get through anything except for being henpecked.
Yun Zhiqiu remained calm after listening to his story. She waved her sleeves and said, "Forget it. I'm not blaming you. Why are you so flustered? Go and attend to your own affairs."
"Yes, Madam!" Yang Zhaoqing felt as though he had just been pardoned and quickly slipped away.
On the other hand, Yun Zhiqiu's brows relaxed. She turned to look at the grinning Xue Er and said fiercely, "What are you smiling at? If you keep smiling, I'll knock your teeth out! "
Xue Er hurriedly pursed her lips and followed behind her.
When they returned to the inner residence, Yun Zhiqiu asked Miao Yi where he was.
Miao Yi was sitting behind his desk, still looking at the name list. He looked up and asked, "You didn't accompany those women?"
Yun Zhiqiu placed the cup of tea beside him and stared at him with a smile on her face.
After a while, Miao Yi raised his head again and asked, "Is something the matter?"
Yun Zhiqiu smiled and said, "How can there be nothing? My husband is about to take a concubine. As his wife, can't I ask about it?"
Miao Yi immediately understood that Yang Zhaoqing's mouth had probably been pried open. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't believe that Yang Zhaoqing would purposely slander me. You already know. What's the point of teasing me?"
Yun Zhiqiu circled around to his side and leaned over his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around his neck and giggled in his ear, "Isn't it a pity to reject Guang Mei 'er? I won't talk about her looks. She even bathed with me before. Those breasts, those buttocks — they'll definitely satisfy you. Won't you reconsider? I don't have any objections. "
Miao Yi immediately put up his guard. How could he fall for this trick? He immediately put on a serious face and said, "Stop fooling around. I don't lack women, and I'm not interested in Guang Mei 'er. Can't you tell that Lord Guang is trying to use this opportunity to control me?"
Yun Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Why would he give his daughter to you if there's nothing to gain from it? Everything has its pros and cons. There's no such thing as a free lunch. With his secret help, once you grow stronger in the future and have the strength to stand against all sides, what's the big deal even if you make it public? I don't believe you don't understand this simple logic. I have absolutely no objections to this. I'll support you wholeheartedly. How about this? Long Xin should still be with Gou Yue. I'll have Long Xin invite Gou Yue back. "She then took out the Star Bell.
Miao Yi immediately grabbed her wrist. Didn't he know her well enough? The more she insisted on agreeing, the more severe the consequences would be. She was already scheming against this woman's next generation. If he dared to relent, this entire house would probably be turned upside down. Everyone in the entire courtyard would see her brandishing her saber and fighting him to the death.
Miao Yi's expression was solemn as he said, "I can tell you very clearly that you, Yun Zhiqiu, will definitely be my first child. It's impossible for anyone else!"
Yun Zhiqiu glared at him and rebuked, "Are you stupid? Think of the bigger picture! "
Miao Yi shot her a sidelong glance, his attitude firm as he said, "There's no room for discussion. I know what to do, and I don't need you to teach me. You can leave first. I still have something to do!" He was very confident in his words.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer." Yun Zhiqiu lowered her head and breathed a fragrant breath into his ear. Then, she bared her teeth and bit down hard on his ear.
"AHH!" Miao Yi cried out in pain.
The room was immediately thrown into an uproar. The table was overturned, the chairs toppled over, and Yun Zhiqiu was finally pushed away from Miao Yi. She staggered a few steps back, her eyes bright and clear, a genuine smile on her face. She even stuck out her tongue and gently licked the blood on her lower lip, as though it was a delicacy. With a demure demeanor, she half-knelt down and said, "I'll be taking my leave!"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er shut their mouths and pretended they hadn't seen anything. They were already used to seeing Madam's devilish side.
Miao Yi raised his hand to touch his ear. His hand was stained with blood from the bite, and his ear had almost been bitten off. Furious, he pointed at Yun Zhiqiu's departing figure and cursed, "Are you crazy? Bitch! I'll divorce you sooner or later! "
"I'll be waiting." Yun Zhiqiu's voice came from outside the house, filled with glee.
Yan Xiu, who would usually appear at the slightest sign of trouble, didn't react at all.
When Yun Zhiqiu arrived at the courtyard, she didn't care about her disheveled appearance. She smiled at everything she saw. When she saw the maidservants greeting her, she suddenly said, "Everyone in the manor has worked hard recently. Everyone will be rewarded!"
