Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 310
Outside the door, Zhizi whispered, "The right minister's carriage has arrived downstairs."

Zhang Yan looked at Mudan in amazement, the shock in his eyes was undisguised.

He never imagined that the young woman in front of him was actually an old hottie who could control people's hearts.

Who is the right minister, who regards himself as noble and proud, and never comes to the place of fireworks with them, his staff and subordinates, to have fun.

But today, when the court was leaving, he just talked a few gossips with the right minister according to the woman's order, and this person was really attracted?
Peony carelessly put the last hairpin placed on the table into her bun. She smiled sweetly, as if she had expected that Wang Yuzhou would come tonight.

"Master Zhang, whether you can keep your official position and life depends on how well you perform in this play later!"

Up to now, Zhang Yan can only be led by the nose.

Back then when he was the master of ceremonies in the small Honghe Temple, he was sent by the temple secretary to Xiguan to escort Jinqi's envoys to Beijing. Get rich overnight.

In the future, his official career will depend on these properties all the way up, and until today, he finally sat on the position of the Shaoqing of the Zongzheng Temple.

Back then when he was escorting the Jinqi envoy to Beijing, Zhang Yan noticed that the Jinqi envoy was always protecting and serving a dancing girl.

He was thinking about it, so he kept an eye out in the dark.

One night, Zhang Yan overheard the conversation between the dancer and Jin Qi's envoy at the post office. He knew that the dancer's identity was the third princess of Jin Qi, Mu Yunshang. Jin Qi's eyes and ears are all that matters.

Zhang Yan discovered a truth but did not reveal it to the public. Instead, he used it to blackmail Jin Qi to satisfy his desire for property.

Having been in the officialdom for many years, Zhang Yan's desire for materialism has long since lost his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.

He is lustful and greedy for money, but he is just a small officiant of the Honglu Temple. If he can get a windfall to help him get through his official career, he will be able to rise straight to the top and hold great power in his hands!
After returning to Beijing, Jin Qi's envoy secretly sent a large amount of gold and jade property to Zhang Yan's mansion.

Zhang Yan knew that this was a crime of treason, and after he got the money, he didn't mention it. Even his wife who had been married for more than ten years didn't know that there were countless treasures hidden under his bed.
This was an old incident decades ago, and only Zhang Yan knew about it. After such a long time, he almost forgot about it, but today he heard that an irrelevant girl would These decades of obscurity fully revealed, how could he remain indifferent and not take this matter to heart.

If the sage knew about the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, ten heads would not be enough for him!

Zhang Yan also wondered, how could a little girl see through what he had hidden for many years?
Could it be that this is a goblin who can count on her fingers?
I don't care about him right now, he has to save his life first!
When Wang Yuzhou came to the corner on the second floor, Yingge could faintly hear a quarrel in the beam.

"Let go of me, you let me go."

"You ignorant slut, if you obediently obey the official today, you can be carried into the mansion as a concubine. When the time comes, you will be rich and rich, and you will have a share!"

"Master Zhang, I beg you to let me go"

Wang Yuzhou felt that the voices of the man and the woman were very familiar. He frowned, rubbed his fingers and looked for the voice.

Inside the door, the women's cries, the men's abuse, and the crisp sound of the porcelain falling to the ground intertwined, making a mess like a war.

"I know a senior official in the capital. If you dare to act recklessly, I will go to the official and sue you!" The female voice in the door was sweet and sweet, speaking in poor official dialect.

Wang Yuzhou recognized that the voice was indeed the little girl who was chasing the thief on Xuanwu Street that day.

But he was a little puzzled, the little girl he saw that day was dressed like an ordinary lady, how could she be reduced to the place of flower streets and willow alleys now?
"It's not too late to complain to that minister when you're comfortable with serving me!" A man's sneer came from the door, "But I'm afraid that the lord you know will even give me a complaint. The shoes don't match!"

With a bang, the door was suddenly pushed open.

"Zhang Yan, you are presumptuous!" Wang Yuzhou stood outside the door with a heavy face, his eyes staring coldly at the entangled skirt and robe on the couch.

Although he already knew that Zhang Yan was a cowardly person, he never expected that he would do such a beastly thing.

Zhang Yan pretended not to know who the intruder was, and he cursed at the door in displeasure, "Damn it, which bastard dares to spoil my good deed?"

After seeing the majestic and stern face of the visitor, Zhang Yan sat up from the bed in fright.

He tidied up his clothes, and with a blushing face, he came to Wang Yuzhou's side and bowed his hands, "Master right and right, why are you here?"

Wang Yuzhou scoffed in a cold voice, "If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't be worthy of carrying your Mr. Zhang's shoes in the future!"

Zhang Yan was terrified, "Your Prime Minister, what are you talking about, the next official is committed to submission—"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Yuzhou waved his hands impatiently, "All day long, you haven't said enough, and the truth is getting tiresome."

He glanced lightly at the frightened little girl on the bed, "I recognize this girl, just let her go. Didn't your family just acquire a few Yangzhou skinny horses, and it's worth bullying another singer?" ?”

Zhang Yan hurriedly nodded, "Your Prime Minister said nothing. I just drank a few more glasses of wine just now, and I was unconsciously confused. Now that I have regained my senses, I will leave quickly!"

Wang Yuzhou frowned and didn't bother to talk to him.

After the door was closed, he walked towards the bed.

On the couch, Peony tightly clutched the quilt on her chest, her shoulders trembling and exposed, like snow curdling fat jade.

Her face was stained with tears, and her small mouth was choked with sobs, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Wang Yuzhou scrutinized the beautiful lady in front of him, "Why are you here?"

Peony complained and glared at Wang Yuzhou, her beautiful eyes were full of annoyance.

She didn't say a word, just sat on the couch and panted heavily.

Wang Yuzhou couldn't figure it out, he obviously saved her, so it's fine if he didn't say some words of gratitude, why did he still stare at him like seeking revenge?

Could it be that this woman was playing hard to get?Although he rejected Zhang Yan on the lips, but he was still willing to be his concubine in his heart?
Thinking about it this way, Wang Yuzhou's face became even colder, "Why are you staring at the truth?"

Peony bit her lips, and suddenly picked up the pillow on the couch with both hands and threw it at Wang Yuzhou.

"It's not all because of you that I lost my money and became homeless. It's almost New Year's Day, but I can only sing and laugh here, and I can't even eat a warm New Year's Eve dinner."

Where had Wang Yuzhou seen such an overbearing and unreasonable little girl? Seeing her crying, although the suspicion in his heart had not dissipated, the coldness on his face had subconsciously faded away.
