Today, Miss Nian was dressed in the same colour as the peonies. There was actually a peony decoration on her black hair. Honestly, her beautiful face and outfit made her look like a peony demon!

  But Le Yao Yao knew she was a person. So after adjusting her beating heart, she quickly bowed. She knew basic manners.

  Nian Sulan warmly smiled. It was quite different from her usual prideful charming self.

  “Brother Yao, did I scare you?”


  “Umm…… yes. A little.”


  “I’m sorry. I lacked manners and shocked brother Yao.”


  “It’s ok. Servant is used to getting scared. Please don’t blame yourself, Miss Nian.”


  “Haha. Brother Yao, you’re quite silly!”


  Nian Sulan gave her a magnificent smile. It was as if she had practiced countless of times in front of the mirror.

  But for some reason, although Nian Sulan was beautiful and appeared friendly, Le Yao Yao didn’t really like her. She couldn’t help but think Nian Sulan was fake.

  But it didn’t matter whether she was fake or not. Nian Sulan probably came to find the King of Hell.

  “Miss Nian, are you here to see Prince Rui? Prince Rui went to the Imperial Court, so he isn’t here right now.”


  “Oh, I know! This time, I didn’t come to see Prince Rui.”


  “Huh? Not Prince Rui? Then who are you looking for?”


  “Eunuch Yao, this time, I came to see you!”


  “Ah!?”


  Nian Sulan saw Le Yao Yao’s shocked expression and quickly continued, “Today, I don’t want to go in circles with Eunuch Yao…so I’ll get straight to the point! Based on Eunuch Yao’s wisdom and intellect, do you honestly want to be someone’s servant for the rest of your life? I’ve heard about your contribution to the drought and flood incident. In addition, you prepared two plays that delighted the Dowager Empress! Isn’t it a waste for you to remain here for life?”


  Hearing this, Le Yao Yao was shocked.

  Nian Sulan was correct! She wasn’t willing and didn’t want to be someone’s servant for life! But what could she do?

  Right now, she was broke. Each time she earned some money, she would somehow end up losing it all. She must have the worst luck in history or something.

  But why was Nian Sulan bringing this up?

  Le Yao Yao was suspicious and didn’t immediately respond.

  “So, if I can help Eunuch Yao redeem your freedom and give you a stack of money, would Eunuch Yao be willing to accept?

  Gaining her freedom had always been something she was yearning for. After all, she was from the 21st century. She was taught equality. Yet ever since arriving here, she had became a lowly servant. It was actually quite hard on her.

  But what could she do? The body of the original owner had signed a three year contract. The contract clearly stated that even if she had money and wanted to redeem her body, she still had to wait three years! So, Le Yao Yao was depressed.

  Obviously, if she could get rid of her servant status and get a bunch of money, that would be wonderful. But Le Yao Yao knew there was no such thing as a free lunch. Nian Sulan must have a motive. Or else she wouldn’t help a stranger like herself.

  Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao finally spoke up, “Miss Nian, servant is astonished by your generous offer. However, servant wants to know why Miss Nian is doing this?”


  “My motive is to not allow such a talent like yourself to be hidden! Based on Eunuch Yao’s abilities, the sky is your limit. If you were to leave, you would be able to create your own world!”


  But even so, Le Yao Yao didn’t agree right away. Because, right now, this conversation was reminding her for dramas from the TV shows she had watch back in the 21st century. People like Nian Sulan always had a motive.

  Nian Sulan wants her to leave the residence?

  But why? She wasn’t stopping her from doing anything here……

  Nian Sulan was patiently waiting for Le Yao Yao’s response. She was positive that anyone with a brain would agree to her conditions.

  Honestly, her motive was to make the eunuch leave this place. Ever since the Dowager Empress had tested her cousin, she was quite sure that the person Leng Jun Yu liked was this little servant!

  It may seem preposterous, but to prevent further trouble from happening, she must pluck out all obstacles that was between her and Leng Jun Yu!

  While Nian Sulan was thinking to herself, she had no idea that a figure had been silently watching from a corner since her arrival.

  Currently, Le Yao Yao’s good looking brows were crinkled. Before she could respond, someone interrupted.

  “What are you two talking about?!”


  It was a low furious voice.

  Both Le Yao Yao and Nian Sulan turned around to look at the source. Out of nowhere, Leng Jun Yu was behind them. He must have heard every word.

  His facial expression was terrifying. He looked like he had just walked out from eighteen levels of Hell.

  Seeing this, Le Yao Yao couldn’t help but shrink her neck.

  Woah! He is so scary! But she didn’t do anything wrong! So what’s she afraid of? Earlier, Nian Sulan was the one who did most of the talking. She didn’t promise or accept (yet)!

  Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao felt much better. She had always been great at nursing her mental health. As for Nian Sulan, she was horrified by Leng Jun Yu’s sudden appearance.

  “C-cousin Y-Yu….”


  As Leng Jun Yu approached her, his frightening aura caused Nian Sulan to subconsciously take a step back. Her face revealed signs of anxiety and fear. It was obvious that Leng Jun Yu was enraged.

  If it were any other eunuchs, he wouldn’t give a damn.

  Except for this one!

  She was correct. Cousin Yu treated this little eunuch very differently!

  In all honesty, Leng Jun Yu did not care about her thoughts. Today, he happened to return early and heard what Nian Sulan said. He knew that “he” would definitely agree to Nian Sulan’s conditions. So before Le Yao Yao could respond, he had to cut him off.

  Because Leng Jun Yu was afraid to hear what he didn’t want to hear.

  “Sulan. This time you have gone too far!” He roared. Leng Jun Yu glared at her with his narrow eyes. They were as cold as frost. Anyone within a metre would freeze.

  “Cousin Yu, please listen to Sulan…!”


  “Guards.”


  But Leng Jun Yu was not interested in hearing her explanations. After all, he had already witnessed the whole thing. There was nothing more needed to be said.

  In a matter of seconds, two guards appeared in front of him.

  “Please take Miss Nian out of the residence. In the future, Miss Nian is forbidden to come here unless I have given approval.”


  Although Leng Jun Yu used the word “please”, he was obviously banning her.

  Hearing this, Nian Sulan’s face turned white. She began to scream, “Cousin Yu, y-you cannot treat me this way!” Her arms were seized by the guards.

  “Please take her out now.”


  Nian Sulan tried her best to suppress the tears in her eyes as she turned and left with the guards. But right before she left, she turned around and gave Le Yao Yao a killer glare. Her eyes were filled with hatred.

  The glare gave Le Yao Yao goosebumps.

  Yo, why are you glaring at me? I’m not the one kicking you out, woman!

  But deep down, Le Yao Yao felt the King of Hell was overly harsh. Nian Sulan wasn’t threatening her or anything. She just offered her money for her to leave the residence. If she had taken the money and left, wouldn’t she be in a better position as opposed to being a servant for life?

  While Le Yao Yao was thinking, she felt her back turning numb. Coldness crept up from the soles of her feet all the way to the tip of her head.

  “You want to leave?”
