Su Yan noticed someone at the door.
She turned her head to look and saw Ji Yu lowering his head at that moment.
He stood there, the noon sun shining in and hitting his body.
He held desserts from Qin Zhai in his hand.
Sweat soaked through his clothes.
He must have waited outside for a long time and walked a long distance.
He lowered his head, silent.
He seemed somewhat dejected.
Ke Yu, upon seeing Ji Yu, tightly clenched his fist.
A feeling named jealousy surged from his heart.
Just a male prostitute from the brothel, why did he deserve all the Marquis’s attention?
Ever since Ji Yu entered this courtyard, the Marquis’s attention all fell on this male prostitute.
Ignoring him completely.
He felt insulted.
His pride was being trampled under this male prostitute’s feet.
Su Yan was about to walk under the pavilion.
Ke Yu suddenly quickened his pace, blocking Su Yan’s path.
Then, the next moment, he kneeled in front of Su Yan.
"Marquis, you are the legitimate son of the Su Family, noble in status, you must not lower yourself repeatedly for someone of lowly status,"
Su Yan looked at Ke Yu,
"What do you want to say?"
Ke Yu raised his gaze with a fearless expression
"Marquis, ever since you favored this male prostitute, everyone has been anxious.
The master sent Ke Yu to tell the Marquis that favor should be distributed evenly."
Su Yan
"······"
Evenly distribute favors?
Su Yan thought of last night’s service by Ji Yu.
Her hand subconsciously supported her waist.
She moved her gaze away from Ke Yu.
"You need not say anymore."
Evenly distribute favors?
Impossible.
This drop of ’favor’ was about to wear her out.
Ke Yu’s eyes turned red with urgency, as if he felt Su Yan was completely bewitched by this seductive man, forgetting her own identity.
"Marquis, this male prostitute is deeply scheming, you must remember not to fall for him again and again."
Su Yan listened without any change in her expression.
"Is there anything else?"
Deeply scheming?
She knew it.
Ke Yu thought Su Yan didn’t believe him, so he raised his voice.
"Marquis! Now your courtyard is unstable because you solely favor this male prostitute, everyone’s heart is uneasy, Marquis mustn’t lose everyone’s hearts over this one person."
Lanzhi initially didn’t plan to enter the courtyard.
After all, based on past experience.
The Marquis and Master Ji Yu would be inseparable for quite a while.
She better not disturb them.
But as she waited outside.
She heard the commotion from inside.
Lanzhi hurriedly stepped in halfway through.
After Ke Yu finished speaking, Lanzhi stepped forward,
"Mr. Ke Yu, the Marquis will have his judgment, please stand up and speak."
With that, she forcibly pulled Ke Yu away from Su Yan’s front.
After pulling him away, Lanzhi consoled Ke Yu
"Mr. Ke Yu, please go back to your room and rest. I’m sure the Young Master has heard what you said just now."
Saying this, she escorted Ke Yu towards the house.
Ke Yu wanted to say more, but Lanzhi, though a woman, was quite strong.
She managed to drag Ke Yu back into the house.
Su Yan walked up to Ji Yu, saw the sweat on his forehead, and then looked at the desserts he was holding.
She asked
"From the time I left, you went to buy these pastries?"
Ji Yu, carrying the pastries, nodded.
He didn’t mention any of the things Ke Yu had just said.
He simply offered
"Marquis, would you like to try?"
