Chapter 26 Concubine Allowed to Have a Secret Meeting with a Male Lover
Xu Jiaojiao stood in a sparsely populated alley, while Lianye anxiously looked around beside her: "Why hasn't he come yet!"
"Don't rush, it's still early, we can wait a little longer." Xu Jiaojiao held a bag of steaming chestnuts and slowly peeled them.
Men generally prefer weak women who depend on them, especially those in high positions.
As long as she feels wronged and shows weakness, Prince Chen will naturally feel sorry for her.
When Prince Chen involuntarily feels protective and responsible towards her, he will give her his true heart and make exceptions for her time and time again.
About 15 minutes later, the person we had arranged to meet arrived.
The person opened the basket in their hand and showed it to Xu Jiaojiao: "Here's what you wanted, pay up!"
Xu Jiaojiao leisurely peeled the last chestnut, glanced at the contents of the basket, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad."
She didn't rush to take the money, but instead gave the young man in front of her a meaningful look: "Help me put on a show, and I'll give you another fifty taels."
The young man was dumbfounded.
Fifty taels—that was an amount he had never seen in his entire life.
Is this woman lying to him?
Before he could raise any questions, the beautiful woman in front of him gave her maid a look, and the maid immediately took out twenty taels of silver.
Xu Jiaojiao raised her chin slightly: "This is the deposit. Do as I say, and the remaining thirty taels will be given to you here in three days."
For ordinary people, twenty taels is a huge sum.
The man was somewhat frightened and hesitated, not daring to accept the answer.
Xu Jiaojiao chuckled lightly: "Don't worry, this is legitimate business. As long as you keep quiet about this, I guarantee you won't be in any danger."
Of course, if you have concerns, I can easily find someone else to do this.
Upon hearing this, Lianye turned her wrist at the opportune moment, as if to take back the silver.
Who doesn't love money?
There must be a brave man behind a lot of money.
The young man immediately reached out and took the silver from Lianye's hand: "My lord, how would you like me to act?"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It's very simple..."
……
On the other side, Shadow One, accompanied by several disguised shadow guards, anxiously inquired about the situation from the people along the way.
Concubine Xu was exceptionally beautiful and stood out in the crowd. Presumably, most people who saw her would have some impression of her.
After searching several streets in the vicinity, Shadow One found a clue about Xu Jiaojiao near Liubao Lane, which is one street away from Taiping Street.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Yunzheng rushed to Liubao Lane without stopping.
This area is a slum, with a complex environment and disorganized houses, making it difficult to find anyone.
Zhao Yunzheng looked at the hurried passersby, his face ashen, and remained silent.
“Master, many people around here have seen a beautiful woman in a lake-blue dress enter Liubao Lane. The woman was dressed in a noble manner, and it was clear at a glance that she was not an ordinary person, so many people have a deep impression of her.”
As soon as Yingyi finished speaking, Zhao Yunzheng strode into Liubao Lane: "Search! Turn this entire Liubao Lane upside down and find him for me!"
Liubao Lane was a melting pot of all sorts of people, and Zhao Yunzheng felt uneasy, worried that something might happen to Xu Jiaojiao.
Looking at the complicated road conditions, he frowned. If he had to search one by one, how long would it take?
Just as he was having some trouble, he heard Lianye's familiar voice, which was tinged with urgency and unease: "Master, it's getting late. Let's hurry back. If we leave for too long and the master finds out, he might be angry."
Xu Jiaojiao's familiar, sweet voice rang out: "Alright, then you go back first, I'll come find you again in a few days."
Immediately afterwards, another unfamiliar male voice rang out: "So, here or not?"
Zhao Yunzheng paused.
Upon hearing the conversation between the three, his gaze suddenly darkened.
The next second, he quickened his pace and walked towards the path from which the sound came.
As soon as he turned into the intersection, Zhao Yunzheng saw Xu Jiaojiao with Lianye standing face to face with a young man.
The man, overjoyed, handed Xu Jiaojiao a basket, which she immediately accepted.
Zhao Yunzheng's face was ashen, veins throbbing on his forehead, his sharp and deep gaze fixed on Xu Jiaojiao's slender back.
He was filled with rage, his fists clenched, trying his best to control his emotions.
Yingyi, who was standing beside him, felt a jolt in his heart. His master had decided to kill him.
Concubine Xu dared to secretly meet with a man outside the mansion while she was out for the Dragon Boat Festival; she was practically courting death!
Xu Jiaojiao took the basket, opened it, glanced inside, and then thanked her with great joy: "Thank you! I really like it!"
Her sweet voice was filled with tenderness and joy; even without seeing Xu Jiaojiao's expression, one could guess how happy she was.
This was a smile that Xu Jiaojiao had never shown in front of Zhao Yunzheng before!
As he felt his master's oppressive aura growing stronger, Yingyi broke out in a cold sweat.
Xu Jiaojiao took out a money pouch from her bosom and handed it to the young man. The man happily accepted it, and then the two turned and left.
As soon as she turned around, Xu Jiaojiao saw Zhao Yunzheng standing at the intersection.
She stiffened, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and the basket in her hand accidentally fell to the ground.
Before Zhao Yunzheng could speak, Yingyi and his men immediately stepped forward, seized the young man, took the money bag from his hand, and presented it to Zhao Yunzheng.
Zhao Yunzheng didn't answer, only staring coldly at Xu Jiaojiao: "What are you doing here?"
The man's voice was as cold as iron, chilling to the bone.
Xu Jiaojiao flinched in fear, her voice trembling slightly: "I bought some things from this young master..."
"Buy things?" Zhao Yunzheng's tone was calm, but the murderous aura around him was chilling.
The young man, pinned to the ground, felt his life threatened and cried out in terror, "Yes, yes, this lady just wanted to buy something from me!"
Zhao Yunzheng lowered his eyes to look at the basket on the ground.
It was an ordinary basket, and the contents were carefully wrapped in cotton cloth. Although it was unknown what was in the basket, it was easy to see that the person who packed it took great care of it.
Looking at the money bag that Yingyi presented, there was quite a lot of silver in it; ordinary things probably wouldn't cost that much silver.
Besides, why would a legitimate business be conducted in this deserted alley?
Xu Jiaojiao can't even lie!
Zhao Yunzheng laughed in anger, his fury rising rapidly.
He had thought that Xu Jiaojiao was gentle and kind, and could give him understanding and comfort that other women could not.
Who would have thought she would dare to have an affair with another man and even attempt to deceive him with such a clumsy lie!
He stared coldly at Xu Jiaojiao, his dark eyes filled with anger and disappointment: "Since you're buying something, then show me what you bought?"
Xu Jiaojiao sensed the distrust in Zhao Yunzheng's tone.
A look of grievance flashed across her eyes, tears welled up in her bright pupils, and she fought back her tears and trembling voice: "Your concubine obeys..."
