After marrying the fierce god, her handsome young husband was pampered to the extreme.

Although Lin Siheng handed him the money, he didn't actually say anything like "You can use this money."

Jiang Xiao became more and more guilty and awkward.

Lin Siheng glanced at him.

Jiang Xiao stood in front of him, and with great difficulty mustered up the courage to speak: "Consider this money a loan from you, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Lin Siheng has never experienced the hardship of being broke since he was a child. Although his father's earning ability mainly comes from taking on bounties, it is not as profitable as the shops managed by his stepfather.

However, he has a wealthy second uncle who, in addition to giving him red envelopes during holidays, would also occasionally give him some small change to spend.

And then there's my second uncle, who sees him always running around outside and is afraid he'll suffer losses, so he gives him stacks of banknotes.

Because she had family to rely on, Lin Siheng never had to worry about money.

Hearing the little liar say that, Lin Siheng didn't care. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

Jiang Xiao awkwardly sat down.

Jiang Xiao initially thought he had something to say, but after waiting for a while, she didn't hear Lin Siheng speak.

He looked up and said, "I will definitely pay you back, you can trust me."

He shut up after he finished speaking.

What credibility can he possibly have? He might have been watching when they tricked that scholar last time.

Otherwise, how could he have caught up so quickly...?

Jiang Xiao suddenly felt a little frustrated. This person must think he was a liar and that his words were not credible at all.

"That scholar is no good person... He has a husband in his hometown in the countryside. His husband saves every penny and gives him all the money he earns from working in the fields. But instead of studying hard, he spends all his time thinking about seducing rich young men."

"We also heard him say that once he wins over the rich young man, he will persuade the young man to buy him a high-ranking official position."

"I'm not lying. He even wrote sentimental love poems for her, never mentioning his husband in the countryside."

Lin Siheng listened quietly to Jiang Xiao finish speaking, not paying much attention.

People are a mix of good and bad, some are not entirely good, and some are not entirely bad.

Lin Siheng asked, "So... what does this have to do with who Yuanyuan is?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up. "You...you agreed?"

"Didn't I tell you? You've already lowered your voice to speak."

"How can that be the same..." Jiang Xiao thought to himself, "They're begging me to save them."

Regarding Yuan Yuan's matter... I haven't asked her yet.

"Yuanyuan is our family," Jiang Xiao said softly. "We are all orphans, and we are going to the capital to find our relatives—"

Lin Siheng interrupted him, "Wait, since you're both orphans, why are you looking for relatives?"

Jiang Xiao wasn't angry at his rudeness. "The three of us are, but the puppy isn't. His family lives in Beijing."

Young Master Lin had a new question: "What does his going to the capital to visit relatives have to do with you?"

"We are a family, and we will go everywhere together."

"I understand," Lin Siheng said. "Let's continue with Yuanyuan."

Jiang laughed and said, "Three years ago, when we came to Cuizhu Town, a powerful man took a fancy to Yuanyuan and wanted to force her to marry him, so he kidnapped her. When we went to rescue Yuanyuan, we were beaten half to death by the powerful man."

"We were young then. Although we escaped, we were badly injured... just like today. It rained heavily that day, and all four of us got sick. We didn't have money for treatment and were dying."

"Yuanyuan sold herself into a brothel to save us."

Lin Siheng seemed to hear a faint sob. When he looked up at the little liar, his expression remained normal, as if the faint sob was just an illusion.

"We stayed in Cuizhu Town to save money to buy Yuanyuan's freedom," Jiang said with a smile. "That's it."

Lin Siheng stood up, sword in hand. "Let's go."

Jiang Xiao froze for a moment, then his heart seemed to skip a beat. He heard himself ask in a trembling voice, "Where...where are we going?"

Lin Siheng didn't keep them in suspense, only saying three words: "Redeem Yuanyuan."

Jiang Xiao suddenly stood up.

"Wait, I'll go tell the puppies." Jiang Xiao ran into the cubicle, then quickly ran back out, linking her arm with Lin Siheng's, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Siheng's neck stiffened. Apart from his two younger cousins, he had never been this close to his brother before...

"What kind of behavior is this, pulling and tugging like that?" Lin Siheng muttered, but didn't shake off the little liar.

Because the little swindler's claws looked dry and without any flesh, as if they would break with the slightest touch.

As darkness fell, the streets came alive, and lanterns were lit on both sides.

Places like brothels become places of pleasure as soon as night falls.

Before she even got close, a barrage of sweet whispers and seductive sounds filled her ears, making Jiang Xiao shrink back in discomfort.

The madam was soliciting customers at the door when she saw Lin Siheng and her face lit up with joy.

Hello, young hero! You're rich and easy to fool.

"Sir, you—" The madam's smile vanished the moment she saw Jiang Xiao. "Did you bring this with you?"

"Where is Yuanyuan?" Lin Siheng asked.

Jiang Xiao chimed in, "It's Lian'er."

It turned out they still wanted to order the boys from their own brothel. The madam immediately smiled again and said repeatedly, "Lian'er is free, Lian'er is free. Sir, please come in."

Lin Siheng stood still. "How much?"

The madam sized Lin Siheng up and down. This outfit was no cheap one; if she wasn't mistaken, it was the world-renowned Huai Shan embroidery.

He looked at Lin Siheng and immediately thought of three words: "sucker".

Just as the madam was about to ask for an exorbitant price, a bicycle suddenly stopped in front of the door.

Human wisdom is boundless.

Even Yin Cheng himself didn't expect that his original bicycle blueprints, after more than ten years of development, would now have a "heavy-duty motorhome" towed by a two-person four-wheeled bicycle.

If they could develop a steam power system, humanity would enter the technological age much earlier.

The servant lifted the curtain, and a man who looked very frail stepped out of the carriage.

The pimp whispered to the madam, "Why is this gentleman in our brothel? Doesn't he always look down on the boys here?"

The madam hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we can make money, let's make it. What's the rush? Go tell the guys in the building that we have important guests and to make sure they are well taken care of."

The pimp quietly withdrew.

Lin Siheng raised an eyebrow, just as he was about to meet this distinguished guest, when he felt the little swindler beside him tremble.

He tilted his head slightly, and the heavy sword in his hand was drawn two inches from its sheath without him noticing.

The madam had already gone to greet him, "What brings you here, Master Ma? Please come in."

Master Ma snorted coldly, and his servant said, "Our master heard that there's a young man here with a red lotus on his shoulder, is that true?"

The madam's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood what was going on.

Master Ma has always looked down on brothels, finding them lacking in elegance, and even feeling unlucky to pass by their door.

They came suddenly because of Lian'er.

"Yes, yes, yes, Lian'er happens to be free today." The madam subtly gave Lin Siheng a meaningful look, with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

His main strategy is to offend no one, and he has mastered all the social niceties.
