How could the Third Marquis not understand this? He hurriedly said, "Even so, I can't care about that. With you here, how can I not worry?"
With that, the Third Marquis looked at Xiaoyu with embarrassment, knowing that he had made a blunder.
She had never felt that there was anything wrong with liking a woman, and most importantly, she had to be extremely emotional. A person had the right to like anyone, as long as his liking did not cause trouble for others, just like how Golden Bell, which was originally a beautiful relationship, had become completely unrecognizable because of her obsession.
"Third Marquis loves Xiao Jiu because he cares about her, and he cared for her. Xiao Yu is deeply grateful, but this is just between Xiao Jiu and me, or perhaps this is a game between Xiao Jiu and the Emperor."
Only then did she relax and continue, "Although, we have a higher chance of losing, we can't drag more people into the water because of this. The Third Marquis also saw what happened today, and he was afraid that he would involuntarily become a pawn, if it was because of Little Fishy, then all the princes would be implicated, and it might even affect the court, and Little Fishy's death wouldn't be enough to avenge his crimes."
Although Fishy couldn't be sure, her woman's intuition told her that things were progressing in an irreversible direction. It wasn't something that could be done through human means. She was afraid of chaos right now, so she hoped to win steadily.
The Third Marquis' face changed. Could this be the truth? He looked deeply at Xiaoyu. She was smarter than he had imagined, so why would he resent her for liking him? Unfortunately, he had met her too late.
"Little Yu, the Wind Hall is more complicated than you think. The capital is filled with hidden talents, and the fact that the Wind Hall can stand for a hundred years without falling shows that the power backing it is not to be underestimated. If something were to happen to you here, and you were only afraid that we would not come to your aid, then you will only regret it for the rest of your life.
Third Marquis did not specify that the person who loved her was Little Jiu, which meant that he included himself. Since he had already revealed his feelings, he did not want to hide it anymore.
She was very worried, after all, she was not afraid of thieves stealing, she was afraid of thieves missing out. Especially since she was in a place where everyone thought that it was only right for her to sell, and a girl who was unforgivable even if she was bullied at home would have her teeth broken and blood swallowed, she would rather endure the heart-wrenching pain of it than sue that rapist. If a woman was bullied in a brothel, it would be a miracle if you sued that rapist.
It was already difficult for a woman to deal with a wolf, let alone a pack of wolves.
Xiaoyu rushed into the brothel out of impulse. Only now did she feel some regret. Transmigration novels were always harmful to people, so who could guarantee that she would be able to escape unscathed? If she could teleport back, she would definitely sue those writers for writing novels about teleportation. It would truly be harmful.
She could only think of a way to let the wolf see the meat, but she could not eat it. This was the reason why she was forced to reveal her ninth prince concubine's true appearance, but other than the third prince, was there really no one else who had discovered her true appearance?
If it really was like this, the emperor would definitely be determined to give Little Nine a green hat. In any case, he would be wearing one and two green hats anyway, unlike Princess Golden Bell, who originally had a dissolute reputation.
Little Fishy bitterly smiled and rubbed her temples with her hand, 'Only in the mountains'. What's the use of watching more palace games? It was just a talk about military matters on paper.
"This is really a huge gamble, what I'm betting on is my happiness, my innocence, my life and even little Nezha's future."
And Little Nine.
But the Emperor didn't have any bets. How unfair was that?
"If you have something to do, you can't do it. Little Fishy …"
Xiaoyu raised her eyes to look at him, "Third Prince, you should still call me Ninth Sister-in-Law, if you don't mind."
She didn't want to give him hope.
Third Marquis forced a smile. She meant that if he didn't dislike her as a prostitute, she would be heartless. She didn't even want to give him a thought. But, didn't he like her just like this?
"How could I care? How could I not care? Little Yu, if I met you first, would you fall in love with me? " The Third Marquis probed.
"Nope." Little Fishy resolutely said.
The Third Marquis couldn't hide his disappointment.
Xiaoyu looked at him and continued, "Because, we would never meet. Xiaoyu was originally a woman raised in a room that no one knew, so she would never meet the Third Marquis. Afterwards, her family met with misfortune, and she was sold as an official prostitute.
Sometimes, people were just that weird. Although everyone was chasing after the Courtesan Belle, in the end, the Courtesan Belle could only be a Courtesan Belle. A man would rather spend a fortune on her than marry her.
Little Fishy only emitted her own radiance when she met Ninth Brother. If he first met Little Fishy, how could he find out about Little Fishy's good nature?
He wasn't a girl, but his hands and feet were tied. Now that he thought about it, even though he was still full of admiration towards Xiaoyu, he didn't care about how I didn't meet with her before.
"Ninth Sister-in-law only cares about me. Don't worry, I have my own reasons." Now that he had thought it through, he was at ease facing her.
Xiaoyu still shook her head. "Xiaoyu appreciates Third Marquis' kindness, but I really can't."
This was no longer a simple matter of her taking refuge in his place.
Could a dragonfly shake a tree? She would try, for her love.
"You're just as stubborn as Little Nine." Third Marquis gave in. No matter what he said, she would not agree. Wasn't this awkward like Little Jiu Jiu?
This was not stubbornness, this was perseverance.
Little Fishy added in her heart.
In fact, she was also very afraid, but, if one had something to do in this world, they would not do it. In her previous life and in her current life, she had only persisted in maintaining an unadulterated relationship. Even if she was wrong, she would continue to be wrong. Her heart would never change.
Even if it was the past, Xiao Jiu's health would not be good, he would not even be able to place two beauties in the backyard to look at, much less now.
Fishy clenched the crows the Third Marquis had unloaded from the music case. She would rather break the jade than make it whole.
