Shangsi Festival.

"I've never seen this young lady before."

There are many young girls in the spring scene, all of them are bright and dazzling, and the one in the dust tent not far away, although her clothes are not very gorgeous, still can't hide her fair skin and beautiful face.

I don't know why I was left alone.

"Brother Liu, do you want to go and talk to her..."

Several young men gathered together and talked about beauties. Naturally, they became more unrestrained, and their eyes lingered greedily on Song Nihuan.

Mrs. Wei, who was not far away, had a twinkling look in her eyes and took a sip of tea.

This was Song Nihuan's first time entering the social circle of nobles in Beijing, and it would probably be the last time.

After all, this "daughter-in-law" was from a poor family, so when she heard that they were going to the Shangsi Festival banquet, she followed her eagerly.

"Has everything been arranged for Li Jiulang?" Mrs. Wei asked the maid beside her in a low voice.

Li Jiulang was originally the son of a slave in the Duke of Wei's mansion. He was very intelligent and had a good knowledge, so the Duke of Wei released him from slavery and allowed him to take the imperial examination. He actually passed the examination and became a scholar. He was freed from slavery and restored his original surname, but he was still a slave in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

How could such a man, young and obedient, not be moved when seeing a beauty like Song Nihuan?

Li Jiulang's relationship with Duke Wei's Mansion was little known, so even if something happened, no one would suspect her.

Besides, what could go wrong? Li Jiulang was handsome and charming, the kind of appearance that women like. During the Shangsi Festival, when handsome men and beautiful women met each other, she was attracted by one of them and couldn't control her feelings. Isn't that normal?

But his handsomeness is different from Xie Yunji's.

He is full of feminine air and seems to be down-to-earth.

Unlike that person...he is truly a god.

Today, Xie Yunji went to the Hanlin Academy to reply to the scholar, so he probably won't be able to come for a while.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wei became more determined, "Tell Li Jiulang to come over quickly!"

The warm sunlight of early spring shone on Song Nihuan's face, and she felt very comfortable.

Outside the tent, three young men from noble families dressed in rich attire slowly approached. After a moment's hesitation, one of them smiled and leaned forward to ask, "Whose family is this lady from?"

Song Nihuan looked up at him, and his heartbeat immediately quickened. This beauty looked even more beautiful up close. If he could get her, he could show off to his group of brothers.

Without waiting for her to reply, he simply lifted his coat and pretended to be unrestrained as he sat opposite Song Nihuan, saying in a calm tone, "I am the sixth son of the eldest branch of the Wang family in Langya. I wonder which family your wife is from?"

Song Nihuan had heard of the name of Wang family of Langya, which was also a prominent family. Two adults in the family served as officials in the capital.

She looked around for Madam Wei. Madam Wei had just said she was going to get something from the car and hadn't come back yet...

The man in front of me behaves like a scoundrel and is really difficult to deal with.

"What, a mute?" Wang Liulang asked bluntly.

Song Nihuan wanted to mention the name of the Xie family, which should make this lecher feel a little shy, so she said, "I am from the Xie Mansion. Why are you so rude, young master?"

Unexpectedly, Wang Liulang came to Beijing from Langya to prepare for the exam and was temporarily living in the home of his uncle who was an official in Beijing. He knew that the Xie family was a wealthy family, but he did not know who the "cousin" who was temporarily living in the Xie mansion was. He only thought that she was a girl from which branch of the Xie family.

"Oh, the Xie family, no wonder she is so pretty." Wang Liulang said confidently, "I wonder which man you have chosen today?"

Song Nihuan was speechless. Not wanting to bother with him any more, she stood up and was about to leave.

He stretched out his hand to stop her, "Why are you pretending? Didn't you come here to find a young master from a noble family? Why, do you look down on Wang Clan of Langya?"

Everyone knows that Xie Yunji, the eldest son of the Xie family, has no younger sister at all. Look at how simply this girl is dressed and she doesn't even have a maid around her. She is so shabby that she must be a concubine's daughter from some branch of the Xie family.

At this moment, those few friends outside the tent are all waiting with their hands rubbing their hands, we can’t let them laugh at us!

Thinking of this, he walked forward again, closer to her.

"Don't be so presumptuous!" Song Nihuan shouted angrily, "What do you want to do in broad daylight?!"

"Of course, I'll drink with the girl and talk about my true feelings."

Song Nihuan wanted to go out, but he blocked her tightly and she couldn't go out at all. And there was no one else around the dust shelter...

At this moment, someone shouted, "How dare you! Get out of the way!"

A handsome young man with a jade face holds a folding fan in his hand, looking majestic without even being angry.

He pulled Song Nihuan out of the tent through her sleeves and said to the perverts, "I know your names. Are you here to rob me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell Minister Wang, Minister Wu, and Commander Liang?"

Seeing that this man could accurately call out their fathers' official titles, the young men looked at each other in panic.

I'm afraid such things will be exposed. Although it's romantic, it's not nice to hear.

"Forget it!" Wang Liulang waved his hand.

After everyone left, Song Nihuan nodded and thanked him, "Thank you for your rescue, sir."

"No need to thank me. It was Madam Wei who asked me to come here to find you. She suddenly felt unwell and went back home, and asked me to take you back. Please don't blame me, madam. I am a servant from Madam Wei's family." Li Jiulang bowed and saluted.

Song Nihuan saw that the man in front of her had a decent face and rescued her. He was also familiar with the names of the nobles in the capital, so he should not be a liar. She nodded and followed him.

*

There were strange noises in her ears and she felt someone was taking off her dress.

She moved her hands and feet and found that she was still able to move.

She only remembered that the young man wanted to take her back to Xie Mansion, but then he was hit on the back of the neck and lost consciousness.

Song Nihuan understood that she was being plotted against.

Noticing that she had woken up, Li Jiulang smiled and said, "My wife is so beautiful."

Song Nihuan then realized her situation clearly. She was alone with him in a room. Her clothes were a little messy. From the sound of women laughing outside the window, she should be not far from the place where the Shangsi Banquet was held.

There was a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth so she couldn't make any sound.

"Don't blame me, my lady. It's because you are so beautiful that you offended someone you shouldn't have offended."

"I advise you not to resist, or you will suffer physical pain. You won't lose anything by following me, and I will treat you well."

Li Jiulang's breathing was a little heavy as he pressed towards her. The sight of the woman in front of him, who was about to cry but pretending to be strong, was really amusing.

Song Nihuan knew that the bad guys set up a trap to harm her not to kill her, but to destroy her innocence.

The purpose is very clear, which is to prevent her from marrying Xie Yunji!

On this festive occasion, if a single man and a single woman have such an affair, it may be a romantic affair for the man, but it may ruin the woman's life.

She had been to places of pleasure, but she would not die because of it.

Just thinking of Xie Yunji, I couldn't help but feel a sore nose. Would he... believe that she was forced? He would definitely be disappointed.

Seeing that there was no way out, Song Nihuan closed her eyes.

The next moment, the tightly closed door was chopped open by a sword, and wood chips flew everywhere, making a deafening sound.

The person outside the door had snow-white hair under his hood.

Xie Tan! How could it be him!?

Li Jiulang's body froze. If someone caught him doing this, it would be useless...

Xie Tan quickly stepped forward, grasped Song Nihuan with one hand, and put the sword against the man's throat with the other hand. He looked as cold as ice and snow.

Li Jiulang slowly stepped back, "Don't, don't be impulsive."

Who does this head of white hair belong to? Anyone who has lived in Beijing for a long time knows that this is the second son of the Xie family!

The doomed star that everyone avoids.

Li Jiulang glanced at his sword-holding hand and felt the force pressing on his neck become a little heavier.
