Chapter 342 Who is that girl

Liao Zhiyuan still wanted to go upstairs to see the beauty that Xue Xiao had praised with great words. But Xue Xiao was preventing him from going up, “She lost her virginity, and she needs some time to get along with the situation. One man upstairs is enough for her. If we all go up, she might commit suicide. Master Liao, please be merciful. Wait until everything is settled, I will ask Du Yao if you are allowed to get in there. You know, people should help others before you get help from them.”

Liao Zhiyuan did not give up and said, “Since you said that the girl is one of the most beautiful women in the world, I have to go up and tell Du Yao that he should be gentle because the girl is still young. If she is killed, it would be a great loss for the world. Just now, you also heard the scream of her. Du Yao is a stupid man and doesn’t know how to train a girl. I am going to help him!”

Therefore, Xue Xiao had to sigh, “Then let’s go up together and see what is happening.”

As Liao Zhiyuan promised, he and Xue Xiao bypassed Duan Xiaolou and Jiang Pi, who had been fighting to the point when they were both struggling. When they were just about to step on the shaky stairs to the second floor, a man was staggering to them from the corridor. His cheeks were red like he was drunk, and he was dressed horribly in a women’s chiffon trousers, which was almost to be broken by his strong legs. However, he was wearing a green cloak suitable for snowy weather.

Xue Xiao blinked at him and asked him with an ambiguous smile, “What a wonderful experience! How does it feel, Song Fei?”

Song Fei, dressed in weird clothes and looked at the “miserable scene” in the lobby on the first floor with a stunning look. After a while, he said, “Qiu Si is thirsty. I am finding her something to drink. What’s wrong with you guys? Raid?”

“Qiu Si?” Xue Xiao covered his mouth and smiled. He elbowed Liao Zhiyuan’s chest and then raised his head to answer Song Fei, “Enemy attack? Even worse! Duan Xiaolou’s anger is more terrible than a dozen of killers. Everybody has to run from it. Don’t you think, Master Liao?”

Liao Zhiyuan frowned and repeated, “Qiu Si, Qiu Si… What is her surname?” His smirk froze and he looked at Xue Xiao and Song Fei with a hint of restless luster.

Xue Xiao and Song Fei glanced at each other. Then, Xue Xiao took the lead and said, “Anyway, she is not your sister. Your sister is a little bit fat, and we all know that.” After a pause, he said in detail about the girl, “Seventeen or eighteen years old, delicate and tender, local accent, virgin. So, she is definitely not your wife. She said that a classmate asked her to come here to view the flowers, but she was lost. That little bitch only cried in the beginning. Later, she stopped crying after she learned Song Fei’s identity and his promise to marry her. Her scream was so obscene. Haven’t you heard that? We didn’t force her. Is Qiu Si your secret lover?”

Liao Zhiyuan looked up at Song Fei, who was slightly cramped on the second floor, and asked, “Her name is Qiu Si? Is it a courtesy name? What is her last name? What is her given name?”

The cloak hung on Song Fei’s wide back was tilted, revealing his strong bronze chest. He scratched his head and said in anguish, “She didn’t say her name, and I didn’t ask. I was only told to call her Qiu Si. Where is tea? We are both thirsty.”

Noticing Liao Zhiyuan’s bad look, Xue Xiao felt uneasy. He patted the back of his head while hinting at Song Fei, “Dammit! Go to ask her name now!”

Song Fei said sincerely, “Just now I asked her if she was okay about making out with me. She said she was not sure because she had never tried it. But I still I got in her. You have all heard her terrible cry. She said she wanted the syrup with three syrup before fainting, and I couldn’t wake her up. Who knows to make this syrup?” He watched the endgame a while before asking, “Do we have any fruits left? Peaches? Melons? Grapes? Mix them all together and then add some honey. Qiu Si told me that before she fainted.”

Seeing Liao Zhiyuan’s serious face, Xue Xiao had the urge to hit the floor with his head. However, he still tried his best to suppress this impulse. Instead, he came to the table and grabbed a teapot and some fruits randomly. As walking to the second floor, he said, “No fruit syrup, let her have some tea. Wake her up and ask her name! Master Liao, wait for me! I will help you ask her!”

A silver light flashed from Liao Zhiyuan’s sleeves and then fell on the roof beam. It was a silver buckle wire. He flew to the second floor and strode towards Xue Xiao, “I’ll go with you!”

Then, Song Fei chased them. They walked to a concealed place at the end of the corridor with two wooden doors on the left and right. Xue Xiao put his ear closed to the door on the right. After listening for a while, Liao Zhiyuan asked him impatiently, “What are you doing? Why don’t you go in?”

Xue Xiao waved his hand and whispered, “This room is for Du Yao and that beautiful girl. I couldn’t hear them downstairs just now, but now there is vaguely a man’s groan. It looks like that little beauty hasn’t woken up yet. Terrible… Du Yao almost couldn’t wait to get her. I’m really worried about that girl. Well, let’s go to see Miss Qiu Si first.” Said so, he pushed open the door on the left and called Liao Zhiyuan to enter. Then he opened the curtain of the big bed and said, “Master Liao, come and have a look. Is she your lover?”

Liao Zhiyuan approached the big bed and stared at the scenery on the bed from a slit. His tight expression did not change at all. Besides, a sudden chill burst out of his body. He looked down for a long while as if he was thinking about something serious. He paced to the window with his hand on his back. He plucked a winter peony flower and sniffed it lightly at the tip of his nose.

Xue Xiao and Song Fei looked at each other embarrassedly. According to Liao Zhiyuan’s expression, he clearly recognized the woman. Did Song Fei really do something wrong? Song Fei asked, “Who is she? A noble?”

“Noble? No, not at all. She is just a daughter of a concubine.” Liao Zhiyuan smelled the fragrance of the flower and slowly said, “Guan’s Family in Yangzhou City is a relative of our family. My aunt is the First Mistress of Guan’s Family. This woman, Guan Zhan, is the Fourth Miss of Guan’s Family. I heard that her nickname was Qiu Si. What a shameless woman! She entrusted her life so easily.”

Xue Xiao dumbly digested the meaning of these words. Then, he said in disbelief, “She is your cousin from Guan’s Family?”

Liao Zhiyuan shook his head and corrected, “Cousin in name. She’s a concubine’s daughter and my aunt has always disliked her and her mother. But the lord of Guan’s Family has always treasured this girl, which made my aunt unhappy.” Just as Xue Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, Liao Zhiyuan continued, “When I went to Guan’s Mansion not long ago, my aunt said that Guan Zhan had become more annoying at home since she grew up. She wanted me to take Guan Zhan as my concubine, and she could chat with Guan Yun in the capital.”

Xue Xiao and Song Fei asked in unison, “Is she your unmarried concubine?” The four bell-like eyes opened wide.

Liao Zhiyuan nodded and added, “At present, it’s just an oral agreement between my aunt and me. I haven’t given her any dowry gifts. Maybe my aunt had no time to talk to Guan Zhan about the marriage. Otherwise, she won’t call another man ‘husband’. The daughter of a concubine! She doesn’t have good education and ethics!”

Song Fei was silent for a while before asking, “Then, what should we do now? You can punish me as you wish!”

In the suffocating and silent environment, a man’s silly laughter suddenly came from the opposite door. Everyone seemed to be able to see Du Yao’s silly face bowing under the beauty’s dress. Du Yao was like a dog who was flattering his master, “Sweetie! Are you getting better? After I knocked you out, I almost hanged myself in regret. You can pierce me with your needle again. I will not even frown! Where do you feel the pain? I will rub it for you. Does this place hurt? Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll go into the city to buy it for you. By the way, what’s your name? I’ll write your name on my marriage proposal!”

Liao Zhiyuan listened silently, and suddenly let out loud laughter. Then, the laughter got louder and louder. The laughter even shook off all the fragile flower petals, which fell down like raindrops.

Song Fei waited for him to finish laughing and heard him continued, “Nowadays, men and women, as long as they have slept once, they would call each other ‘honey and sweetie’. If the woman loses her temper on the man, she will even get the marriage proposal without getting out of bed! Nowadays, men are so cheap!”

“Then don’t care about them.” Xue Xiao asked nervously, “What are you going to do with Song Fei?”

Liao Zhiyuan looked at the woman in the tent and heard a rustling sound inside. It seemed that Guan Zhan had woken up. She must have heard the words “Master Liao” and the voice of him, so she cried in the next moment.

Song Fei gritted his teeth. Then he pulled off his cloak abruptly and the women’s trousers on his legs. He grabbed a saber in the corner of the wall, shook off its scabbard, and then handed it to Liao Zhiyuan. He said gruffly, “Follow the rules, do it!” Then, he lay down on the floor like a dead fish.

Liao Zhiyuan grabbed the saber and played with the flower vines on it. He asked slowly, “I just heard from downstairs that you swore to marry her. Song Fei, are you in love with this woman? Are you planning to marry her? Are you going to be cut because of her?”

People would only say good words before they die. Song Fei answered sincerely, “How could a man’s words in bed be taken seriously? I will say anything to gain her body. Besides, she could only be my concubine. I have no identity to propose marriage to her family. Unless she abandons her identity as a lady and elopes with me, we can’t be together.”

When Guan Zhan in the bed heard that her “husband” who was going to “be with her until death” not long ago had changed in a blink of an eye ruthlessly, she cried and cursed, “Liars, liars! Men are liars.”

The three men listened to her crying in silence for a while. However, a similar scene seemed to be staged in the opposite room. They heard Du Yao say, “When I first met you in the street yesterday, although I was disdainful and my attitude was rude, I couldn’t help to think about you after we parted. Since yesterday night, I have at least thought about this borrowing horses thing 17 or 18 times. Every sentence you have said keeps echoing in my mind. As for today’s thing, I didn’t have any evil intentions in advance but just wanted to ask you to come in for snacks and chats. But, when I saw your face and your unsuspecting sleeping look, I couldn’t suppress my feelings. Considering the situation, sweetie, you should marry me! I am willing to die for you! If you marry me, I will treat you as an immortal!”

Liao Zhiyuan suddenly burst into a sharp smile. He threw the saber on the table and paced to the bed. He shook his head and said to himself, “Is that person Du Yao? He gives up all his pride for just one night’s joy? … Then now,” Liao Zhiyuan bent over and took off his boots. He turned his head with a smile, “Cousin Qiu Si, serve your real husband. We have an oral engagement. Don’t call my name wrong!”
